Chapter 2326: The Last Fragmen (1/2)

The short old man shook his head and said bitterly, “He’s the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. He stands at the same cultivation level as old master. Even if all the power within the Neptunean Divine Palace is unleashed, it will not be enough to stop the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.”
“Moreover, you know about what happened earlier as well. When the Neptunean Divine Palace moved through space and avoided the peak experts, we were still extremely distant from the Nine Clouds Plane where the Heaven-splitting clan resides. In the end, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor did not even leave the Nine Clouds Plane, yet he managed to transport the Neptunean Divine Palace from so far away. The Neptunean Divine Palace is no different from a plaything in the hands of someone like that.”
“Do we really have to give the Pyrnite Ore to him? Although what he’s giving in exchange is very precious, the Pyrnite Ore came from my ancestors after all,” Xiao Man was reluctant.
The short old man sighed gently and said, “Actually, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor has already treated us better than those annoying people who chased us before. After all, if he really wants to take the Pyrnite Ore, we can’t stop him with his strength. Not only did he avoid doing that, but he even offered a great deal to exchange for it.”
“Of course, the little master has already inherited the Neptunean Divine Palace and obtained everything that old master left behind. Perhaps the little master is not interested in the items that the Heaven-splitting Ancestor is offering, but his protection holds a completely different significance.”
“Promised protection from an expert like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor cannot be purchased no matter how many cultivation resources are offered. That’s where the true value lies. Once little master obtains the protection of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, there will be no need to worry about other people causing disturbances in the future.”
Xiao Man thought about it silently. Although she had obtained the Neptunean Divine Palace and become its new master, the last few years had not been easy for her because she was just too weak. Many experts cast their greedy eyes on her. They would find her and act tough but talk soft so that they could control her.
As long as they controlled her, it would mean controlling the Neptunean Divine Palace.
Some experts began to take forceful measures when they realised that words would not achieve their desired results.
Hence, it had not been peaceful for her recently. She was basically disturbed at all times.
It was just like what the Heaven-splitting Ancestor had said. Although the Neptunean Divine Palace was a high quality god artifact, it was not invincible. Once all of its energy was depleted and the formations became useless, its defences would be drastically weakened.
Before the Neptunean Divine Palace took a master, none of the countless experts in the Saints’ World dared to covet it due to something the Bloodtear Grand Exalt had said. However, now that the Neptunean Divine Palace had a master, an opportunity where the peak experts could obtain the Neptunean Divine Palace without infringing on the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s will had appeared.
This was because the Bloodtear Grand Exalt only forbid people from fighting over the Neptunean Divine Palace. He never said they could not rope in the master.
As a result, in the eyes of many peak experts, as long as they ‘roped in’ Xiao Man, they would be able to obtain the Neptunean Divine Palace.
This roping in was naturally referring to controlling.
“Xiao Man, we’re here today because of Jian Chen’s assistance. However, countless experts have trapped Jian Chen on the Desolate Plane for the sake of the Anatta Tower. We have to find a way to help him,” at this moment, Zi Yun spoke up from beside Xiao Man. She struggled to be at peace whenever she thought of the situation that Jian Chen currently faced.
Xiao Man’s eyes immediately lit up. She said firmly, “Sister Zi Yun is right. If it weren’t for brother Jian Chen’s help, let alone taking back my ancestor’s belongings, I probably would have died in the Neptunean Divine Palace long ago. Now that brother Jian Chen is in trouble, I have to find a way to help him.”
“I’ve made up my mind. I can give all the Pyrnite Ore on the eighth floor to senior Heaven-splitting Ancestor, but the senior must protect brother Jian Chen.”
At the same time, the man who had appeared in the Neptunean Divine Palace hovered where the Heaven-splitting Ancestor cultivated. He held a black, thumb-sized bead.
