Chapter 1665: Departure
Jian Chen broke into laughter when he saw Nubis charge in from outside. He said, “Nubis, haven’t you been living quite the life with your two concubines? Going with me to the Saints’ World will be a life of blood, so why bother at all? You have to bear in mind that even if I go to the Saints’ World with my current strength, it’ll be very difficult to even gain a stable footing.”
“A bloody life is the best life in my eyes because only a life like that will be a challenge. Jian Chen, I’ve put it very clearly. If you want to go to the Saints’ World, you can’t leave me behind. Otherwise, you’re no longer my brother,” Nubis said. He was filled with excitement and eagerness, clearly anticipating the journey to the Saints’ World.
“Oh right. I heard that only Origin realm experts can pass through the spatial tunnel to the Saints’ World. I still haven’t reached the Origin realm, so think of something for me. Just don’t leave me behind,” said Nubis. He and Jian Chen had forged their brotherhood through adversity, making their bond anything but ordinary. As a result, Nubis spoke to Jian Chen extremely casually, unlike the other Saint Emperors.
“Alright. I can only take you with me since you insist so much,” Jian Chen could only agree to Nubis coming along. Although Nubis was a little weak to go to the Saints’ World right now, his rate of improvement would definitely be far greater there than if he remained in this world.
Afterwards, Jian Chen visited a few old friends, bidding his final farewells. He believed that it would be at least a dozen millennia or even several dozen millennia before he would return. Saint Emperors only had a lifespan of ten millenia, so his old friends probably would have passed away already when he returned again.
Although the origin energy of the world was gradually recovering and there was now the World of Forsaken Saints, a paradise for cultivation, reaching the Origin realm was still not an easy accomplishment.
Jian Chen then went to find Hao Wu in a remote mountain range. Hao Wu had already become a Saint Emperor now, but he had become an old man instead. He had left Zaar Caiyun and secluded himself in the mountains, cultivating in solitary.
Jian Chen’s emotions became extremely mixed when he saw the wrinkly, grey-haired old man because this was his father-in-law.
After explaining that he was about to leave this world, Hao Wu fell silent. He only responded with a soft sigh after quite a while, “Jian Chen, I hope you can look after Mu’er well in the Saints’ World.”
“I will!” Jian Chen swore an oath to himself and Hao Wu.
Jian Chen left after his conversation with Hao Wu. Soon, he arrived a thousand kilometers away from where Hao Wu cultivated. There was a mountain that directly plunged into the clouds there, and there was also a small, wooden hut on it. A beauty in a violet dress sat before the wooden hut, gazing into the distance in a daze. Her face was filled with uncontainable sorrow and memories.
She was the ancestor of the Zaar family from the City of God, Zaar Caiyun. She had left the clan many years ago, no longer interfering with any matters in the clan. She had always remained on the mountain, living a life of seclusion. Aside from cultivation, she liked to do this the most, gazing into the distance in a trance.
The direction she gazed in was where Hao Wu had settled down. A thousand kilometers was originally nothing more than a step for Zaar Caiyun, a Saint Emperor, but it felt like the ends of the earth in her heart.
Jian Chen hovered in the air and gazed at Zaar Caiyun. His feelings were mixed, and he left after heaving a soft sigh. Zaar Caiyun had failed to sense Jian Chen’s arrival at all.
In the end, Jian Chen visited Tian Jian. Tian Jian had originally become a Saint Emperor through the Saints’ World. Jian Chen then gifted him a Violet Cloud Peach, allowing his strength to increase drastically once again. He was now an Eighth Heavenly Layer Saint Emperor, making him one of the most powerful people below the Origin realm.
Jian Chen had a long conversation with Tian Jian. Then he pulled out a white fur from his Space Ring and forcefully shoved it into Tian Jian’s hands; this was the fur of the Winged Tiger God, which covered the Way of Slaughter from Mo Tianyun. The Origin realm experts of this world had tried to comprehend it many times, but they failed to get anything out of it in the end. After a few cycles, it returned to Jian Chen’s hands. Right now, Jian Chen had given the beast fur to Tian Jian solemnly.
Mo Tianyun had left behind the Way of Slaughter, and Mo Tianyun founded Mercenary City. As the great elder of Mercenary City, it was only right for Tian Jian to inherit the beast fur. Whether he could actually comprehend the Way of Slaughter would be a whole different matter.
Jian Chen had considered giving the beast fur to Shangguan Aojian, but he possessed the Innate Chaotic Body. He had his own path to take, so giving the beast fur to Tian Jian would be a better choice.
After bidding farewell to Tian Jian, Jian Chen visited the supreme divine hall left behind by Mo Tianyun. He took away Kai Ya who remained unconscious in the crystal coffin with him, as well as the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast who had always been watching over her silently.
