Chapter 2209: Going to the Desolate Plane (One)

“The Azure Peng King hasn’t followed us. It looks like we’ve shaken him off,” Jian Chen flew as quickly as he could with the Anatta Tower through the danger-ridden spatial crack. He paid attention to the situation of the outside world at all times.

“He seems to be trapped in the temporal vortex. Temporal vortices really are extremely wondrous. The flow of time varies indefinitely. The Azure Peng King was not much slower than us in charging into the temporal vortex, but we were completely unaffected, while the Azure Peng King was trapped in there,” said Jian Chen. He glanced at the Anatta Tower. He was uncertain whether it was because of luck or because the Anatta Tower’s quality was just too great that they managed to emerge from the temporal vortex unaffected.

Or perhaps it was because of Jian Chen himself!

Although Jian Chen had been hiding within the Anatta Tower when they charged into the temporal vortex, he had experienced a wondrous feeling inside.

During that moment, he felt like his soul had established an obscure connection with the chaotic Laws of Time in the temporal vortex, where he seemed to be able to sense their existence.

However, because the Anatta Tower had only stayed in the temporal vortex for a split second, and the laws there were extremely chaotic, he failed to gain any substantial benefits.

“That should be a part of luck. After all, I haven’t grasped the Laws of Time, so it’s impossible for me to affect the temporal vortex,” thought Jian Chen.

“It was so close before. Thankfully, we charged into the temporal vortex in time, and thankfully, the power of laws in there did not affect us. Otherwise, we would have been killed off by the power of time in the vortex before the Azure Peng King even caught up to us,” Kai Ya patted her chest as she said gladly from beside Jian Chen. She felt like she had just survived a disaster.

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s face hardened. He looked at Kai Ya in confusion and said, “Oh right. Kai Ya, why were you able to detect the Azure Peng King sooner than me?” This had been puzzling Jian Chen. He knew that Kai Ya was the same as him, where she could detect the situation outside. However, the sensitivity she previously demonstrated was actually even more terrifying than him, who was basically half a master of the Anatta Tower. He struggled to accept this.

“I…” Kai Ya furrowed her brows in thought. She had no idea how to explain this to Jian Chen because even she did not understand why her soul had suddenly strengthened earlier.

“I don’t know why. I just suddenly had that feeling,” Kai Ya explained it like that after thinking for half a day.

Jian Chen nodded and no longer tried to pry anymore. He had begun suspecting that Kai Ya was the reincarnation of some expert from the various signs Kai Ya had shown since long ago. Naturally, he knew that this would be due to Kai Ya’s former life.

After all, even he had reincarnated. The sword spirits had wrapped around his soul and made him reborn on the Tian Yuan Continent.

“Hmm? Brother Jian Chen, why have you come in here?” At this moment, a delighted voice rang out from afar.

The Radiant Godking in luxurious, white robes, Xuan Ming, shot over from afar like a bolt of lightning as he shone with holy light. He arrived before Jian Chen and Kai Ya in the blink of an eye, looking at the two of them with a face full of smiles.

“Sigh, we’re currently being hunted down by the Azure Peng King. We fled into a spatial crack, and we had no other choice but to hide here,” Jian Chen sighed gently. His gaze towards Xuan Ming and was slightly shameful. He knew that he had probably drawn Xuan Ming into the matter now. After all, with the Azure Peng King’s temperament, he probably would not spare Xuan Ming once he found out that Xuan Ming was connected to Jian Chen, even if it was just through something insignificant.

“What? The Azure Peng King? One of the four heavenly kings of the Loneheaven Plane, the heavenly king of Azure Brilliance Mountain, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance?” Xuan Ming’s face changed drastically as he paled in fright.

“That’s right, it’s him,” said Jian Chen. He had heard quite a few rumours regarding the Solitary Sword Ancestor and the Azure Peng King on planet Tianming.

“God dammit. Of all the people you could provoke, why the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance? I’ve heard my father mention the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance before. He said he’s unruly, petty, and vengeful. He’s known for being difficult to deal with in the Saints’ World. Not only is he powerful, but his speed is also known to be unmatched. Even peak experts with the Laws of Space can’t necessarily capture him unless they possess an absolute advantage in strength.”

“There definitely won’t be any good outcomes from offending the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance. We’re in deep trouble now,” Xuan Ming growled with an ugly expression. Woes weighed on his heart.

“You don’t need to worry too much. As long as you hide here without worrying, even if the tower ends up in the hands of the Azure Peng King, you’ll be safe for some time. Moreover, the Azure Peng King should be trapped in a temporal vortex right now. It should be able to keep him trapped for a while, which will give us some time to catch our breaths,” said Jian Chen. He knew that the Anatta Tower had been completely exposed after what happened on planet Tianming. According to his predictions, the experts of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng would hurry over very soon as long as no accidents happened.

“Let alone just a while, but even if it traps the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance for a few years or even a few decades, we won’t be able to escape his pursuit with our strength,” Xuan Ming became restless like there were ants in his pants. He constantly paced around as he was filled with unease.

“Let’s go to a place where even the Azure Peng King dares not make trouble, like one of the seven sacred planes of the Saints’ World,” Jian Chen said calmly. The first place he thought of was the Prosper Plane where the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng resided.

The seven sacred planes were supreme existences in the Saints’ World. Every single sacred plane had a Grand Exalt, so the reason why they were sacred was completely because of the seven Grand Exalts.

When he heard that, Xuan Ming’s face immediately lit up. He said excitedly, “I know. I’ll tell you a good place to go to. Don’t go to the seven sacred planes. Go to the Desolate Plane. Our Radiant Saint Hall just happens to reside on the Desolate Plane.”

“Is the Desolate Plane safer than the seven sacred planes?” Jian Chen was doubtful.

Xuan Ming sniggered and said with complete confidence, “I knew you’d worry about that. But you don’t need to worry at all. As long as you go to the Desolate Plane, the Azure Peng King won’t be able to cause any trouble at all because the place is off-limits for him. If he dares to set foot on the Desolate Plane, his own life will be in danger.”

“Since your Desolate Plane has such an expert, why has your Radiant Saint Hall been forced into such a miserable state by the great demon you speak of?” Jian Chen asked.

Xuan Ming immediately deflated like a balloon from that. He sighed in dejection, “He won’t care about the matters of our Radiant Saint Hall. Let alone right now, when it’s just a few Radiant Godkings, even if our entire Radiant Saint Hall is destroyed, many of the large organisations on the Desolate Plane wouldn’t even bat an eye. No one is willing to provoke an expert like that just for us, including the organisations that we’re on good terms with.”

“Jian Chen, let’s go to the Desolate Plane. Since the Radiant Saint Hall is on the Desolate Plane, there’s a reason why you have to go there,” said Kai Ya.
