Chapter 3772: The City Lords Gift

With a sweep of the senses of his soul, Jian Chen discovered various resources piled up in the s.p.a.ce Ring. There were pills, heavenly resources, various G.o.d artifacts, and various immortal crystals.

If he converted all of these resources to five-coloured immortal crystals, it would probably amount to seven or eight hundred thousand.

Jian Chen did not decline the offer. He accepted the resources. He still had several hundred thousand disciples cultivating in the Primeval Divine Hall. Their consumption each day was extremely startling, and virtually all of these resources had to be sourced from the outside world.

They had obtained a tremendous sum of resources from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens did not have any businesses or sources of income in the outside world. If they only relied on those resources, they would run out someday.

Afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu held a casual conversation with Jian Chen. As they spoke, he mentioned the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture.

The Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture has a total of one hundred and eight pages. Only after all the pages have emerged will the Skysc.r.a.ping World be opened. As a result, if you want to enter the Skysc.r.a.ping World, Im afraid you still have to wait a little longer, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said solemnly.

By the Skysc.r.a.ping World, it referred to the miniature world that the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable had opened up.

Shortly afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu seemed to think of something. He could not help but smile wryly. When I enter the Skysc.r.a.ping World this time, I was planning to try and obtain one of the seeds of ways to help me overcome the restraints that have held me back for the past million years and reach the Third Heavenly Layer. With your partic.i.p.ation now, it seems like my chances of obtaining a seed of ways has become extremely slim.

In my knowledge, whenever the Skysc.r.a.ping World opens, it will attract experts from across the Immortals World, which even includes the ancestors of some peak organisations. Even if I dont partic.i.p.ate, the city lords chances of obtaining a seed of ways are still extremely slim, Jian Chen said calmly.

Hahahaha, youre completely correct, fellow. During the past few times the Skysc.r.a.ping World opened up, there would be a large number of experts competing for the seeds of ways. There were even cases where Immortal Exalts perished. Its extremely brutal. I managed to obtain the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture this time and earn the right to enter the Skysc.r.a.ping World, but whether I can obtain a seed of ways in the very end is not something Im completely confident about.

But fortunately, the Skysc.r.a.ping World has much more than just the seeds of ways. Apart from the seeds of ways, there are a large number of markings of the Ways of the Sword. These markings are all embedded in tablets. They were created by the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable. They contain the mysteries of the world. If we focus on comprehending these markings, well also benefit if everything aligns.

Jian Chen conversed with Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. When it came to the Skysc.r.a.ping World, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu clearly knew much more than Jian Chen. Through the conversation, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu divulged many pieces of information that Jian Chen did not know before.

In the end, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu flipped his hand and took out an item from his s.p.a.ce Ring.

Immediately, the pressure of a high quality G.o.d artifact radiated out. It was a furnace only the size of a hand, s.h.i.+ning with brilliant and gorgeous light.

This item is known as the Energy-devouring Furnace. It belongs to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. The Void-perceiving Ancestor had borrowed it from them. Now that the experts from the Void-perceiving sect have perished, its ended up in my hands. Immortal Exalt Tan Yu first gave a simple introduction of the Energy-devouring Furnace to Jian Chen. Worry filled his face as he said, Fellow Yang Yutian, Ill be honest, the Energy-gathering Furnace has already become an issue to me. I cant keep it nor can I discard it. I dont know how I should deal with this item.

As a result, one of my other goals for specially visiting you is to seek your opinion. How should I deal with the Energy-gathering Furnace from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?

Jian Chens eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu in interest and said, Dont tell me you dont even have the courage to return this item?

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu smiled wryly. Actually, I have considered returning this item to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, but Im worried about handling it poorly and creating a misunderstanding with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

Jian Chens lips curled into a slight smile as he said steadily, Youre not worried about a misunderstanding with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Youre worried about the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment creating trouble for your Immortal Rising City after you destroyed the Void-perceiving sect. After all, since the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment lent the Energy-devouring Furnace to the Void-perceiving sect, they clearly support the Void-perceiving sect attacking your Immortal Rising City. In the end, not only did the Void-perceiving sect fail to take down the Immortal Rising City, but they themselves were even annihilated.

An outcome like that is no different from a slap across the face to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. If they overthink this, the end result of this matter might even be elevated to the point of infringing on the sects dignity if some people decide to pull some strings.

If it really develops to that extent, your Immortal Rising City will be in deep trouble.

Youre completely correct, fellow. Thats exactly what Im worried about. In your opinion, how should I deal with this Energy-devouring Furnace? Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was extremely open to Jian Chens suggestion.

Its simple. Give it to me, and Ill deal with the repercussions from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, said Jian Chen. He could already tell that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu wanted to give the Energy-gathering Furnace to him.

Since this item had connections to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu could not directly say that he had gifted it to him. He was worried that his actions would be misunderstood as an attempt at s.h.i.+fting the blame. He had purposefully waited until Jian Chen mentioned it himself.

Sure enough, as soon as Jian Chen said that, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu beamed with joy. His tense heart finally seemed to loosen.

The two vice city lords seated on the side appeared like a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders as well.

Afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu quickly pa.s.sed the Energy-devouring Furnace over to Jian Chen. He did it all in a hurry as if he was afraid that Jian Chen would change his mind.

The palm-sized Energy-devouring Furnace shone with gorgeous light as Jian Chen casually fiddled around with it in his hand.

Jian Chen was quite interested in the Energy-gathering Furnace. In his eyes, this artifact was basically a G.o.dsend for breaching formations.

All formations needed a steady supply of energy to operate. Once they ran out of energy, not only would the power of the formation greatly diminish, but it might even directly collapse.

The usual method for breaching formations would be to attack them and exhaust their energy, continuing until they automatically shut down from running out of energy.

Of course, that was in the scenario where the defences of the formation surpa.s.sed the strength of the a.s.sailant.

"

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has many enemies in the Immortals' World, so I'll only be facing more and more formations, stronger and stronger formations in the future. The Energy-devouring Furnace is perfect for this. Not only does it devour the energy of formations at a startling rate, but the energy devoured can even be condensed into immortal crystals of high purity, so it's not completely wasted,

" Jian Chen thought. He had already begun searching through the s.p.a.ce in the Energy-devouring Furnace. Sure enough, he discovered a mountainous pile of immortal crystals.

There was an extremely large number of them, but it still made Jian Chen furrow his brows.

"

Given the speed at which the Energy-devouring Furnace devours energy, it should have ama.s.sed far more energy than this over the half a month. This pile of immortal crystals is probably only a tenth of what it had devoured.

"

"

Has the remaining energy been exhausted by the Energy-devouring Furnace itself, or is the Energy-devouring Furnace only capable of refining so much?

" Jian Chen wondered. He did not believe Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had taken any of it.

In reality, because of the existence of the artifact spirit, it was impossible for Immortal Exalt Tan Yu to bypa.s.s the artifact spirit and forcibly remove anything from it. He could only take anything if he had the permission of the artifact spirit or it had accepted him as its master.
