Chapter 835: Reaching Class 7
With the infusion of the second strand of origin energy, Jian Chen’s soul took another qualitative leap, becoming much stronger. The radius of his presence increased from one hundred kilometers to one hundred and fifty.
The bone-deep euphoria from refining the spirit almost cause Jian Chen to lose control and moan. The soul was the basis of a person; it was the origin of life. Without personally experiencing the refinement of the soul, it would be impossible for anyone to imagine just how great the euphoria was from deep within the soul.
The absorption of the second strand of origin energy was much faster than before. Soon enough, the second strand was also absorbed, completely infused into Jian Chen’s soul and causing his morphing soul to become even more powerful. The radius of his presence had also increased to a hundred and eighty kilometers. The speed at which his presence strengthened slowed down the more he absorbed.
Jian Chen immediately began absorbing a third strand of origin energy. Soon enough, it was completely infused into Jian Chen, who then moved onto a fourth, fifth, sixth…
As more and more origin energy of Radiant Saint Force was absorbed by Jian Chen, his soul strengthened at an unbelievable rate. His presence had already reached a radius of hundreds of kilometers, currently stretching towards the thousands.
The artifact spirit stood nearby, watching over Jian Chen. He was there to prevent any accidents from happening as Jian Chen absorbed the origin energy. He stared fixedly at Jian Chen and said softly, “Master, you need to absorb as much origin energy as you can. The origin energy right now is like building a foundation for master. It’s extremely important because this relates to master’s future achievements. The more origin energy you infuse, the greater your future achievements as a Radiant Saint Master.
The artifact spirit’s words were heard clearly by Jian Chen but he said nothing in reply; instead, his absorption speed increased distinctly. Jian Chen himself understood that before him was a great chance. He had three days to absorb as much origin energy as he wished but once this period passed, he would need to wait fifty years before he could absorb origin energy so freely again.
This period of time was a little too long for Jian Chen. Currently, he had only lived for a little over two decades. He had not even lived for half of that time.
Meanwhile, as Jian Chen absorbed the origin energy comfortably in the artifact space, the Radiant Saint Master Union on the distant Tian Yuan Continent instead announced some information that caused a very great commotion. The union had actually pushed back the date at which the top ten competitors could enter the artifact space to break through to Class 7 and no one was able to give a clear answer on how long the delay would last.
As soon as this was announced by the union, it spread through the entire city like wildfire. It then began to spread in all directions, causing a very great uproar between groups of Radiant Saint Masters.
This was because ever since the union was founded, the date for a chance to reach Class 7 every fifty years had never changed. It had been maintained for countless years, yet now the union had suddenly pushed back that date. Many people fell into confusion immediately, especially those who were supposed to enter the artifact space. They even felt resentful of the union, demanding a logical explanation.
The union only provided a vague explanation about it this time. They did not go into the details, hiding the fact that the saint artifact had been lost as much as they could.
Although there were also the eight clans of the City of God and the three great clans that controlled the Holy Empire, they did not leak any part of it, and also demanded all clan members who knew this to be quiet. This was because those in command in all three clans knew that the union would lose its unity among Radiant Saint Masters if the news was spread, and would collapse in a short amount oftime.
The union may not have been controlled by the three great clans but they were still a peak organization that belonged to the Holy Empire. Once the union dissolved, it would decrease the empire’s overall strength. This was not something the three clans wanted to see.
As a result, not only did the three clans withhold the information regarding the loss of the artifact, they even worked together with the union to deal with this.
Currently, the white-robed Quan Youcai lay lazily on a great soft bed in the huge castle of the headquarters. He stared blankly at the ceiling and muttered, “Just what the hell is the union doing pushing back our time to enter the artifact to absorb origin energy? Sigh, I wonder when I can reach Class 7.”
“And brother Yang Yutian. I’d never thought he’d be a Saint Ruler. Tsk tsk tsk, both a fighter and a Radiant Saint master. It’s never happened before on the Tian Yuan Continent. And that tiger cub by brother Yang Yutian’s side has an even more terrifying origin. It’s a Winged Tiger God.”
