Chapter 3790: Camping it Out

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Along the route between the Immortal Rising City and the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment was an ancient mountain range that stretched for millions of kilometres. Many immortal beasts dwelled there, occupying the land to form clear territories.

However, the strongest of these immortal beasts were only Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.

But on this day, the ancient mountain range that had stood in silence for who knew how long was suddenly disturbed. The entire mountain range flew into a craze.

Black shadows shot across the sky in the depths of the ancient mountain range, flying out towards the outskirts quickly before smashing into the ground heavily and leaving behind a long ditch.

At a closer glance, these black shadows were various kinds of immortal beasts, ranging in size. They were all Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.

Originally, they thrived in the depths of the mountains and forests in their own territories, but at this moment, they had all been thrown over to the outskirts, kicking up quite the chaos.

At this moment, Jian Chen gazed out in the depths of the ancient mountain range and smiled in satisfaction. “I’ve finally cleared out a region. This place is located exactly between the Immortal Rising City and the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. It’s not a bad place.”

With a flip of his hand, a few formation banners appeared.

The formation banners were the obscuring formation that he had borrowed from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

Jian Chen formed a seal with his hands, activating the formation banners using the secret technique that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had told him. Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, the formation banners shot off into the surroundings, sinking into the rock in the end.

Afterwards, Jian Chen found a flat place and took out a tea set. He took out a few Comprehension Tea Leaves from his supply that was running low and began making tea.

To the left of the tea table was a palm-sized furnace, which vaguely radiated with the pressure of a high quality god artifact.

The furnace was the Energy-devouring Furnace of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

To the right of the table was a chain that glistened brightly, containing the mysteries of space. It was also a high quality god artifact.

This was the Heaven-locking Chains of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment!

The two god artifacts radiated with wisps of their presence, spreading into the surroundings.

“Hopefully, the Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment don’t make me wait for too long,” Jian Chen said to himself gently as he glanced between the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains.

“The three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment are the Flying Leaf Ancestor, the Space-purging Ancestor, and the Transcension Ancestor. I wonder which one will come this time? Or will the three of them all come?”

“However, the chances of all three coming aren’t high.”

Jian Chen calculated inside.

He had already learnt a little about the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. He learnt that among the three ancestors, the Flying Leaf Ancestor was the weakest, a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

However, with his current strength, he would struggle to forcefully intercept even the weakest ancestor. They only needed to take a step to cross several million kilometres.

As a result, he could only use the two high quality god artifacts of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment as bait to lure them over.

Jian Chen sat among the mountains and sipped on his tea leisurely. He waited patiently.

However, he did not wait for too long. In just a day, a handsome young man in white robes silently appeared before Jian Chen.

His presence was self-contained, without emitting any ripples of energy. He seemed like an ordinary person.

However, his sombre eyes exposed experience that contrasted against his appearance.

Jian Chen was about to raise the tea cup to his mouth. He paused slightly, but he immediately recovered. He took a gentle sip steadily and smiled. “I never thought that it would be the Space-purging Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment who would be coming today. If I have disrespected you in any way, please forgive me!”

“You clearly know who I am, yet you can still remain so composed. I must admit that you are the boldest Immortal Emperor I’ve ever seen,” the Space-purging Ancestor said emotionlessly. He subconsciously looked at the Energy-gathering Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains on the tea table and malice flashed through his eyes.

He could tell with a single glance that the two high quality god artifacts of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment had already been restrained.

As for Jian Chen, he also revealed his presence as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor right now.

Before the Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, he did not conceal his presence that perfectly. Jian Chen’s strength seemed more obvious to him, making him lower his guard.

“I originally thought that I’d have to go to the Immortal Rising City to find our two god artifacts. I never thought you’d wait for me half way from the city. However, with your strength, you have no right to discuss conditions with me. Call over the person behind you.” The Space-purging Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back. He was already on high guard, constantly aware of his surroundings.

The senses of his soul swept through the surroundings again and again. He carried out a fine search over every region of space as if he wanted to find the Immortal Exalt hiding in the shadows.

However, he found nothing at all from his fine search.

This outcome did not allow him to relax. Instead, he became even more tense than before.

The person sitting before him was clearly a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Strength like that could only be regarded as a slightly stronger ant to the Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt Space-purging Ancestor.

However, the Space-purging Ancestor did not have the courage to take back the two high quality god artifacts that belonged to his sect.

“If your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment wants these two god artifacts back, you’ll have to discuss it with me.” Jian Chen sat before the tea table. He seemed extremely relaxed. Even with an Immortal Exalt staring him down, he remained unfazed.

His composure instead left the Space-purging Ancestor with even more qualms.

It was not because he had been intimidated by Jian Chen. However, Jian Chen had already made an example out of the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master.

If the two Immortal Exalts had not gone missing without any clear reason, the Space-purging Ancestor would have never been intimidated by a few words of an Immortal Emperor.

In a few minutes, two Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts had gone missing with their fates unknown. That was something that the Space-purging Ancestor had to take seriously.

“You’re a mere Immortal Emperor, yet you have the right to discuss conditions with me?” The Space-purging Ancestor’s voice gradually turned cold with a hint of disdain.

“Looks like you don’t want these two high quality god artifacts back,” Jian Chen said gently.

“Hmph, I can take back these items as easily as taking candy from a baby. Do you really think you can stop me?” The Space-purging Ancestor said coldly.

“Really now?” Jian Chen looked at the Space-purging Ancestor with a slight smile and said, “Since you think it’s as easy as taking candy from a baby, why don’t you try it?”

“You’re a mere Immortal Emperor junior, yet you want to act all mysterious before me? You’re out of your depth!” The Space-purging Ancestor’s face sank as iciness flashed through his eyes. His hand suddenly darted out. The profound Laws of Space were already circulating through his palm, about to retrieve the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains from the tea table using the Laws of Space.

Jian Chen’s smile widened. He was completely unconcerned about these two god artifacts being taken.

The Space-purging Ancestor noticed his attitude, which immediately made him squint his eyes. He instead became even more cautious.

“The expert hiding in the shadows still refuses to emerge. Don’t tell me they’re waiting for me to take these two god artifacts?” The Space-purging Ancestor’s face changed. He became uneasy, but the Laws of Space that condensed in his hand slowly dissipated. Clearly, he had given up on taking the god artifacts back by force.

“I want to take back the two high quality god artifacts of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Tell me, what are your demands?” The Space-purging Ancestor’s presence slowly dissipated. He held his hands behind him.
