The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths said rather helplessly, “The experts of the Immortals’ World suddenly attacked our Saints’ World at a time like this while I was forging the important artifact. I split my focus, forging the item while paying close attention to the situation outside the world, but I ended up neglecting the situation in the Saints’ World. Otherwise, your twin swords would not have been exposed so soon.”

The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths’ words made Jian Chen narrow his eyes. His gaze was dim, but he stared straight at the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths’ old, approachable face. “Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths, d-d-don’t tell me you found out about the twin swords a long time ago?”

The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths laughed. “Do you think no one knows about your secret? It’s not just me. Anatta and Bloodtear were both aware of the twin swords a long time ago.”

“In particular, Anatta found out about the twin swords far earlier than any of us. Anatta even knew that you were the successor of the Immortals’ World’s Violet Heavens Grand Exalt.”

Jian Chen’s expression immediately changed. His gaze blanked out as well.

The Anatta Grand Exalt had actually found out a long time ago that he possessed the twin swords? The Anatta Grand Exalt actually knew a long time ago that he belonged to the Immortals’ World?

It was hilarious that he had specially left the twin swords behind in the Tian Yuan clan when he attempted the Bridge of Life and Death to save fairy Hao Yue to avoid the Anatta Grand Exalt seeing through his secret.

How would Jian Chen have thought that he had known about everything regarding him a long time ago?

When he recalled the situation back then, Jian Chen immediately found himself to be so hilarious and ignorant.

The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths continued, “Do you still remember what you did on the Desolate Plane? Back then, you even alarmed the Bloodtear Grand Exalt.”

“In reality, Bloodtear noticed the twin swords on you back then. If no accidents happened, you would have died then and there, as the successor of Violet Heavens is no different from a heinous criminal in our Saints’ World.”

“Yet in the end, you did not. Do you know why?”

Nearby, the presence of the Bloodtear Grand Exalt that was enveloped in a sea of blood seemed to fluctuate slightly.

“Bloodtear, is Ancient Paths telling the truth? You knew about this child’s true identity a very long time ago?” The Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt stared at Bloodtear in surprise.

“That’s correct!” the Bloodtear Grand Exalt replied seriously.

The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths did not hide anything, so all of the experts present obviously heard every detail about their conversation, which made their faces all change.

“Don’t tell me Jian Chen’s true backing is not the Ice Goddess Hall?”

At that moment, many experts experienced the same question, as the two goddesses had yet to return back then.

Jian Chen said nothing. He only stared straight at Ancient Paths. He was uneasy.

In the past, when he faced the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s soul clone, he already felt like the twin swords were exposed, as it was completely impossible for him to hide any secrets before a Grand Exalt.

However, the Bloodtear Grand Exalt retreated afterwards, so he thought a measly figure like him could not raise the attention of the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. That was why he did not take it too seriously.

Only when he heard what the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths said did he suddenly come to the realisation that the Bloodtear Grand Exalt had not actually retreated for the reason he thought he had.

“It was because of Anatta!” the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths continued.

Jian Chen shuddered inside. His face was filled with disbelief. He suddenly turned towards the Anatta Grand Exalt enveloped in light.

Suddenly, he seemed to connect some details. His body immediately began to tremble violently. He was overcome with shock. He cried out, “D-d-don’t tell me you’re Kai Ya?”

When he reached this conclusion, Jian Chen’s heart immediately began to surge. He was overcome with shock.

Kai Ya had already demonstrated various extraordinary abilities by his side back then. Her extraordinary aspects even made Jian Chen suspect her to be the reincarnation of some significant figure.

Of course, the most important detail was that Kai Ya could actually enter the Anatta Tower freely, without any obstruction!

In the past, he did not think too much about it, nor did he have the courage to think too much about it, but now that the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths had mentioned all of this, Kai Ya’s figure immediately appeared in his mind.

Kai Ya just happened to be by his side when he faced the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s clone outside the Desolate Plane.

And afterwards, when Kai Ya died to the Elder of Mountains and Seas, he wanted to find him for revenge, yet in the end, the Elder of Mountains and Seas had died under mysterious circumstances despite being a Grand Prime.

These various events all demonstrated the great possibility of his guess.

“I-i-impossible. This is impossible.” Jian Chen was lost in a daze. He was thrown into mental disarray, struggling to accept this conclusion.

The Anatta Grand Exalt said nothing. The light around her flickered away violently, dimming and brightening. She raised her hand slowly, and the Laws of Creation descended, enveloping Jian Chen like an ocean.

Under the Laws of Creation, Jian Chen’s wounds immediately healed at an unbelievable rate.

No, it could not be described as healing. Instead, the damaged parts of his body were recreated by the Laws of Creation. His internal organs reappeared too.

The lost flesh regrew from nothing.

The Anatta Grand Exalt’s Laws of Creation were healing all of Jian Chen’s injuries in a different way.

Seeing how the Anatta Grand Exalt was healing Jian Chen instead of killing him, all of the experts felt like they were thrown into confusion and disorder.

However, Jian Chen completely ignored his wounds. His gaze trembled as he stared at the Anatta Grand Exalt emotionally. His feelings fluctuated with unprecedented intensity as his voice trembled, “A-a-are you really Kai Ya? Are you really Kai Ya? Tell me, did Kai Ya die or not…”

In the past, Kai Ya had died to the Elder of Mountains and Seas in order to save him. That had always been Jian Chen’s greatest source of pain and regret. Even after destroying the entire Gloomwater sect to avenge her, he struggled to find peace with this pain and regret.

Now that he had learned that the deceased Kai Ya might have been the Anatta Grand Exalt, Jian Chen was immediately overcome with a vast array of feelings. He struggled to calm down.

The Anatta Grand Exalt said nothing, remaining silent the entire time. However, the light around her flickered more and more violently.

“You’ve finally realised, but what’s the point of this? Since you’ve already become Anatta’s fruit of ways, you’re destined to die. Sigh, a cursed tie of karma, a cursed tie of karma…” The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths shook his head with a gentle sigh.

His words undoubtedly confirmed Jian Chen’s guesses, which immediately made him shake violently.

Jian Chen only understood half of what Ancient Paths had said. He did not know what a fruit of ways was, but he did understand that even if the Anatta Grand Exalt before him was Kai Ya, he would not be getting out of here alive today.

This had already become a matter that touched on the feud between two worlds, as well as the sentiment of the people of a major world. The coldness it represented had far surpassed the feelings of an individual.

“I know I must die today. I-i-if you’re really Kai Ya, could-could you let me see you before I die?” Jian Chen stared at the Anatta Grand Exalt. There was sorrow and disappointment, together with sadness, joy, and surprise. His feelings were extremely mixed.

His sorrow and disappointment came from the fact that he had actually been fooled all this time. She was clearly still alive, yet she left him racked with guilt and self-blame for all these years.

His joy came from the fact that she was actually still alive. She had not died…
