Chapter 3839: Xing Caijian

“Most of the spiritual Qi here is provided by immortal crystals of various kinds. There’s even hints of presence from the divine crystals of the Saints’ World.” Jian Chen was amazed. As a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s wealth was completely beyond the imaginations of ordinary people. The tremendous amounts of spiritual Qi condensed from immortal crystals and divine crystals was only the tip of the iceberg of wealth that he had accumulated.

As a matter of fact, it was even less than that.

He looked around and discovered that he was standing in a huge square. The ground was paved from priceless spiritual jade, and the entire place was protected by a powerful formation that even Immortal Exalts could not destroy.

At this moment, around three hundred cultivators of varying strength had already gathered on the square. Everyone who entered the Skyscraping World was here.

However, Immortal Exalts only made up for a small portion of these people. The rest of them were all Immortal Emperors, and there was an extremely small number of people beneath Immortal Emperor.

However, as soon as they arrived here, they began to pull together, forming groups of various sizes. Clearly, some organisations had already established alliances before they entered.

However, there was one exception, which was the enchanting daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian!

At this moment, she held the same ancient sword and stood in the square alone. With how cold she was, she did not try to approach anyone.

Apart from Jian Chen, there was no other person here that knew the ancient sword in her arms was the sovereign god artifact of the Heavenly Star Palace, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star!

“Fellow Caijian, would you like to travel with us? That way, we can watch each others’ backs along the way…”

“Fellow Caijian, we sincerely invite you to join as. As long as you’re with us, you won’t have to do anything at all along the way. You can leave everything else to us…”

“Fellow Caijian, we’re willing to serve you like horses and completely follow your arrangements for the rest of the trip in the Skyscraping World.”

Xing Caijian and her extraordinary status obviously pulled her into the centre of attention. Even when she appeared extremely cold, there were still many people who approached her enthusiastically in an attempt to befriend her.

Xing Caijian ignored these people. Even when they were Immortal Exalts, she treated them as if they did not exist.

From beginning to end, apart from the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster and Jian Chen, she did not converse with another person.

“Fellow Tan Yu, we part here.” Jian Chen clasped his fist towards Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, bidding his final farewell.

“Brother Yutian, I won’t be able to help you with what comes next. Take good care of yourself!” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu clasped his fist towards Jian Chen sternly. He knew that Jian Chen was not on the same level as him. They had travelled together for all this time because of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. Now that their goals had been accomplished, perhaps it was time for them to part.

By now, some people had already left the square with their companions. Jian Chen did not hesitate either. He found his bearings and was prepared to leave as well.

However, right when he was about to leave the square, there was a sudden flash before his eyes, and a slender figure appeared right in front of him, blocking his path.

She was the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian!

“You want to roam this place alone? With your measly strength at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, travelling alone here is fraught with grim possibilities.” Xing Caijian’s eyes were devoid of emotion as she stared straight at Jian Chen.

When he heard that, Jian Chen was surprised, but he soon smiled and clasped his fist. “Thank you for your concern, fellow Caijian. I will be careful with my own safety.”

“With your strength, it’s useless no matter how careful you are. Once you catch the attention of some stronger Immortal Exalts, you’ll be doomed in the end even if you think your strength is extraordinary.” Xing Caijian’s expression did not change at all. After reaching there, she paused and pondered for a moment before continuing, “You’ve entered here for a seed of ways left behind by the sword venerable, right?”

“That’s correct!” Jian Chen did not deny that.

“Travel together with me then. I will do everything that I can to obtain a seed of ways for you,” Xing Caijian said very naturally. Despite knowing that the contention for the seed of ways usually involved a battlefield of Immortal Exalts, there was absolutely no fear in her at all.

Jian Chen did not doubt that Xing Caijian possessed this strength. After all, between her arms was the sovereign god artifact of the Heavenly Star Palace, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star was different from the Azulet swords. The twin swords were still in a weakened state, while the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star was in peak condition.

Xing Caijian was protected by the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. As a result, even if she did nothing, the sovereign god artifact alone could butcher a swathe of Immortal Exalts.

However, Jian Chen was extremely surprised over how Xing Caijian was willing to assist him like this.

“You want to help me obtain a seed of ways? You don’t need it?” Jian Chen asked in complete surprise.

Xing Caijian’s expression did not change at all. She said emotionlessly, “I haven’t come here for the seed of ways.”

“Then why do you want to help me? After all, a group of Immortal Exalts will definitely be fighting over the seed of ways. This is a thankless task for you,” said Jian Chen.

“You should know why I’m trying to help you. There are some secrets that you can’t hide from me, just like how you also know some of my secrets.” Xing Caijian looked at Jian Chen.

Their conversation had already drawn over the attention of many Immortal Exalts in the surroundings. After all, Xing Caijian was the daughter of a heavenly emperor. In terms of status, she was without a doubt the loftiest person in the Skyscraping World, so lofty that even the Immortal Exalt ancestors of many peak organisations hoped to forge a tie with her.

As a result, everything she did would draw the attention of many experts.

However, her conversation with Jian Chen left everyone puzzled. It left them guessing.

Only Jian Chen understood what Xing Caijian was referring to. She was talking about the twin swords and the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, fellow, but I’m accustomed to moving alone. I don’t like to travel with others. Farewell!” Jian Chen turned down Xing Caijian’s suggestion without any hesitation.

Xing Caijian possessed the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, so she would indeed be a great source of help. However, travelling with her would also bring Jian Chen a great deal of inconvenience.

With that, Jian Chen left the huge square alone. He vanished into the thick mist very soon. He left with great determination.

Xing Caijian stood where she was and stared in the direction that Jian Chen had vanished off dazedly. She did not become irritated or angered. From beginning to end, her slightly cold eyes did not show any emotion at all, without a single ripple to be seen.

Several seconds later, Xing Caijian looked away. As if nothing had happened, she left in another direction, vanishing instantly.

There were still some Immortal Exalts present in the square adorned with white jade tiles. They witnessed the entire conversation between Jian Chen and Xing Caijian. Some of the Immortal Exalts had already locked onto the direction that Jian Chen had left in as their eyes flickered with colours.
