Chapter 2121 - A Grand Prime’s Legacy

Chapter 2121: A Grand Prime’s Legacy

Now, Xiao Man completely listened to Jian Chen. She basically did whatever he told her to do, without any objections at all.

Afterwards, Jian Chen got Xiao Man to return to the Anatta Tower. He took Xiao Man’s pendant and a jade bottle with Xiao Man’s blood inside with him to the twelfth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace.

The entrance to the twelfth floor was no longer some secret. Jian Chen had learnt about it long ago.

As a result, since he hurried along wholeheartedly and was not distracted by anything, he arrived on the twelfth floor very quickly.

As soon as he set foot on the twelfth floor, Jian Chen saw the four statues that stood in the distance, seemingly connecting the ground with the sky. He immediately felt shocked.

Apart from one of them that had dulled, all of them were surrounded by a hazy layer of light. Vaguely, the tremendous pressure of Grand Primes seemed to radiate out, enough to crush stars and surpass the heavens. It seemed to bear the presence of a supreme overlord of the world.

Jian Chen knew that these four statues were left here by the four ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Neptunean.

However, Jian Chen did not approach the statues. Instead, he stood very far away. He did not come here for the Grand Primes’ legacies but for awakening the artifact spirit.

There were many Godkings gathered in the surroundings of the three statues. Jian Chen did not want to raise their attention. As such, he would not expose himself, so not only did he completely conceal his presence when he arrived, he did not even use the senses of his soul.

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. He discovered a few familiar figures in the crowd far away. Immediately, he backed up far away without showing any intentions of doing so and also looked away. He did not dare to pay too much attention that way.

“It’s the fifth prince of the Sky Empire and mister Shu. I never thought they’d be here as well. Although I’ve changed my appearance and stature, it’s still nowhere near perfect. I can’t be certain that some of them won’t recognise me through some small hints and traces. It looks like I need to remain far away from there,” Jian Chen thought quickly. Like a ghost, he borrowed the forest and geography around to cover himself as he silently moved off into the distance.

A while later, Jian Chen arrived several hundred thousand kilometres away. In an extremely remote location, he took out Xiao Man’s pendant and the bottle of her blood. He dripped some of the blood onto the pendant without any hesitation.

As soon as the blood came in contact with the jade pendant, it was absorbed silently. All of it vanished into the jade pendant, and afterwards, a mysterious presence that even Jian Chen could not sense drifted out. It permeated the surroundings.

After doing all that, Jian Chen waited patiently. However, he waited for a very long time, yet the artifact spirit still did not awaken.

At the same time, a great net condensed entirely out of energy expanded over an unknown space within the Neptunean Divine Palace, enveloping the entire place. It seemed like a prison, trapping whatever was in there.

The energy net seemed to be alive. It changed at all times, gradually shrinking towards the centre. It became smaller and smaller.

“I’m the master here. I’m the existence who determines everything here. I have infinite power in this divine palace. You can’t trap me, nor can you assimilate with me and replace me…” At this moment, a furious mental pulse roared out, booming through the interior of the net.

There was an extremely ancient consciousness within the energy net. It resisted the shrinking net as hard as it could. Right now, it was like a prisoner, firmly trapped there by the net.

Moreover, whenever the net shrunk slightly, a part of the ancient consciousness’ energy would be assimilated into the net, becoming a part of it.

“As the artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace, I am the absolute existence here. I set the rules here. You can’t replace me. You won’t succeed…” The ancient consciousness resisted arduously as it bellowed out.

“The presence of master’s bloodline. I sense the presence of master’s bloodline again. It’s master’s only descendant, so the lineage can’t end here. Piss off. I won’t let you succeed. I will never let you succeed…” The ancient consciousness became even wilder. Under its desperate struggle, the net swelled, but it still failed to rip through it.

On the twelfth floor, Jian Chen travelled another million kilometres to a new place and dripped Xiao Man’s blood onto the jade pendant once again.

“Strange. Why is there no response? According to what I’ve learnt from Zi Yun, the artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace was clearly awakened by the presence of Xiao Man’s bloodline. That can’t be wrong, so why is it ineffective now? Is it really like what I guessed, that the artifact spirit has yet to fully recover, and it has fallen back into a deep slumber after waking up last time?” Jian Chen was perplexed.

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. He abruptly turned his head towards the distance. His gaze seemed to pierce through the distance and land on the four statues as he became surprised and doubtful.

He could clearly sense a tremendous presence of laws sweep out in a tremendous manner over a million kilometres away. It seemed to crush the heavens and throw the laws of the world into disorder, making them extremely unstable.

“A Grand Prime’s legacy?” A thought flashed through Jian Chen’s head. After some slight consideration, he gave up on awakening the artifact spirit for the time being. He flew towards the four statues.

With Jian Chen’s speed, he crossed the distance very quickly. He did not get too close and hid several dozen kilometres away. He used his superior vision to observe what was going on up ahead.

One of the four statues shone with blinding light as a resplendent streak of light shot out from its forehead, enveloping someone below.

The disturbance it had caused was startling. It made everyone in the surroundings stand up and stare at the Godking engulfed by the light blankly. Admiration, envy, surprise, and so on filled all of their gazes.

When Jian Chen saw this clearly from several dozen kilometres away, his face became rather ugly because the person enveloped by the light was actually the fifth prince of the Sky Empire!

“The fifth prince! It’s actually the fifth prince…”

“Hahaha, fantastic. The fifth prince is blessed to receive the recognition of a Grand Prime’s legacy…”

The few remaining guards and mister Shu by the fifth prince’s side were all overjoyed. They struggled to hold back their excitement.

In the surroundings, Yun Xin and the five remaining Godkings of the Yun family all had mixed expressions. The fifth prince was indeed one of the people who possessed the best talent in the Sky Empire, but in the Neptunean Divine Palace where supreme prodigies gathered, it was not particularly astonishing. Now that he had actually gained the recognition of a Grand Prime’s legacy, it was indeed very surprising to them.
