Chapter 1491: The Anatta Grand Prime
“Senior Tian Jian has spent ten years and is still not done refining the divine hall from Mercenary City with his strength as a Saint Emperor. The Anatta Tower is clearly much greater than that divine hall, so I wonder how much time I’ll need to refine the first layer of the Anatta Tower with my current strength,” Jian Chen wondered inside before hesitating. The World of Forsaken Saints would invade again in two or three years. He did not know if he could refine the first layer of the Anatta Tower within that time frame.
“Don’t worry, master. The Anatta Tower may be a supreme quality god artifact, but there are nine steps to refining it. It is indeed impossible for master to refine the whole tower with your current strength, but you shouldn’t take long to refine the first layer with our help,” said Zi Ying. The Zi Ying Sword arrived above Jian Chen’s head and projected a handsome young man in violet robes.
“Master, we’ll help you out!” The Qing Suo Sword also arrived above Jian Chen’s head, projecting a beauty in an azure dress.
Jian Chen clenched his teeth and said, “If that’s the case, let’s try to take this tower with us before the foreign world invades again.”
Jian Chen immediately sat down. With assistance from the sword spirits, he began to devote himself to refining the stone tablet.
As Jian Chen refined the three-hundred-meter-tall tablet before him, it immediately experienced some changes. From the very bottom, the pure-white tablet gradually darkened and the dark color spread up at an extremely gradual rate.
The dark portion was the part that Jian Chen had successfully refined. When the entire tablet turned black, he would become the second master of the Anatta Tower.
However, the refinement process became more difficult the further he advanced. When the darkness had reached a height of three meters, it visibly slowed down.
Unknowingly, Jian Chen had already spent a year refining the tablet. During that year, he had refined ninety percent of the first layer. However, the final part was far more difficult than he had imagined. Jian Chen poured everything he had into it, but he was still progressing slowly.
However, Jian Chen did not give up. He desperately refined it, and finally, after another half a year, he successfully refined the first layer. A ninth of the giant tablet was now dark.
The darkness represented that Jian Chen had successfully refined the first layer of the Anatta Tower. He could not utilize the basic controls of the structure.
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes. His forehead was currently covered with sweat. He was exhausted, but there was an uncontainable excitement in his eyes.
The current him could clearly feel a mental connection with the Anatta Tower. He could vaguely sense everything in the tower, on all nine floors. However, he could only sense the second to the ninth second floor in haze. As for the first floor, he could sense it extremely clearly. He could even vaguely gain an idea as to what was going on in the dark regions that had been annihilated by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt.
The annihilated regions seemed as vast as the night sky to Jian Chen. They were unimaginably tremendous. Even the Tian Yuan Continent did not seem to be a hundredth of the dark regions.
“The Anatta Grand Prime’s treasury really exists on the ninth floor,” Jian Chen murmured to himself. His eyes shone. He appeared a hundred meters away in the next moment, like he had teleported. He gazed at some empty space before him.
“The treasury’s been hidden in a spatial crack on the ninth floor by the Anatta Grand Prime. Even the artifact spirit can’t open it. Only the master of the tower can. It’s just a pity that I’m too weak right now, so I still can’t open it yet.” Jian Chen gently exhaled in disappointment. In a flash, he returned to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
“I’m actually unable to sense the existence of this palace at all. It must be a projection left behind by the Anatta Grand Prime through an ability in the past,” Jian Chen stared at the palace for a while before entering it with long strides.
A while later, Jian Chen arrived in one of the halls within the palace. He stood at the entrance and stared ahead. There was a structure made from white jade at the end of the hall. It was only the size of a millstone and seemed like a cushion for meditation. Jian Chen’s gaze stopped on the stone structure that was only three inches tall for a while. He then looked behind it. A statue stood there.
The statue depicted a woman in white clothes. Her figure was slender, her beauty: indescribable. She stood there with her head slightly raised, as if she was staring at the void. She did not give off a shocking presence but seemed to have combined and resonated with the world, a transformation of nature itself, having become a law.
