Chapter 2181: A Grand Exalt of the Past

When the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline came in contact with the formation on the stone door, it immediately seeped in.

At the same time, the Grand Exalt’s formation on the stone door immediately erupted with blinding light. At that moment, the tremendous energy hidden within the formation seemed to have been awakened. As it surged, the entire meteor rumbled violently as it gave off a devastating presence.

“Who let you act recklessly?” Nearby, the old woman’s face suddenly changed. She looked back at Jian Chen and Kai Ya and called out to them. She looked at the simple stone door in undisguised fear, and with a flash, she arrived behind Jian Chen and Kai Ya. She grabbed them by the shoulders and was ready to leave as quickly as possible.

However, in the next moment, the old woman’s movements halted. Surprise filled her old face, and she immediately stared at the stone door with shining eyes.

Under the surging pulses of energy, the Grand Exalt’s formation on the stone door began to part slowly.

In just a while, the Grand Exalt’s formation that struck fear into the old woman’s heart had completely vanished. Only a droplet of bright red blood hovered there.

“What’s this all about?” This development stunned the old woman. She stared at the blood deeply and said, “Where did you get this droplet of blood from?”

“This is the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline. I obtained it accidentally on the spatial battleship I was on with senior,” Jian Chen said. He already understood that the old woman was not someone who harboured evil intentions, so he trusted the old woman to a certain degree.

“It’s actually the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline,” the old woman sighed in surprise. She stared at the simple stone door that seemed to have existed since time immemorial and said to herself, “Maybe this place was left behind by the past Grand Exalt, the ancient Skywolf? Or maybe this is where the ancient Skywolf passed away in meditation?”

“Senior, the ancient Skywolf is a past Grand Exalt?” Jian Chen was surprised. Just as the name suggested, past Grand Exalts were naturally Grand Exalts who appeared in the past. They no longer existed.

The old woman clearly knew some secret rumours about Grand Exalts. She said slowly, “That’s right. The ancient Skywolf is indeed a Grand Exalt that appeared in history. The time when he existed was before the seven Grand Exalts, in an aeon far earlier.”

“From the moment the Saints’ World was created till now, probably no one knows how long it has existed for apart from peak experts like Grand Exalts. This endless period of time has been split into many aeons. Who knows how many aeons it has already been. But according to my knowledge, the aeon before the seven Grand Exalts was the ancient Skywolf’s aeon. Only when all the peak experts of that aeon died did the aeon of the seven Grand Exalts begin.”

“In other words, there have been many Grand Exalts in the Saints’ World across all this time,” Jian Chen sighed emotionally.

“Naturally. Who knows how many aeons have passed already in the Saints’ World. There are Grand Exalts in every aeon.” Memories flooded the old woman’s eyes as she murmured, “Many years ago when I was beside my master, I was fortunate enough to see the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. I remember that the first majesty said something to my master back then. She said that although the Saints’ World has been through many aeons, it’s impossible for the number of Grand Exalts in a single major world to exceed ten for every aeon.”

When she reached there, the woman scoffed, “People say that once you reach Godhood, you break free from the limitations of age and gain eternal life, allowing you to become as old as the world. But in reality, no one can truly attain eternal life. Even the Grand Exalts who comprehend laws to the limit and literally become an embodiment of laws themselves can also die.”

“For example, in that battle three million years ago, the seven Grand Exalts still died or became injured. Even my grandmaster, the Anatta Grand Prime, met his end. Even Grand Exalts are unable to truly attain eternal life, let alone the people below Grand Exalt…”

“What eternal life? What becoming as old as the world? In my eyes, it’s all a joke…” Towards the end, the old woman laughed crazily as if she had managed to see through life and death.

Was there any reason to be happy about being alive? Was there any reason to fear death?

At this moment, Jian Chen had arrived before the simple stone door. He pushed the heavy door open slowly.

Immediately, a dense and pure presence of desolation surged out. It contained the presence of the laws of the world. As Jian Chen was at the very front, this presence struck him first, causing his mind to shudder.

As the presence brushed past him, he immediately felt like he had fused with the world. He closed his eyes and seemed to be able to see the three thousand ways that had woven into a net, allowing him to sense them all. He reached out and seemed to be able to clutch them firmly. It felt like he could grasp them.

The old woman’s mind also shuddered. Surprise filled her voice as she cried out uncontrollably, “I- is this the legendary Origin of Ways?” The old woman’s expression was extremely complicated. Unlike Jian Chen, she knew exactly how precious and rare the Origin of Ways was. It was a treasure that could even lead to bloodshed between Grand Primes.

The old woman immediately closed her eyes. She tried to comprehend it to the best of her efforts, to absorb the Origin of Ways.

At the same time, Kai Ya could not help but close her eyes as well. She began to absorb the Origin of Ways that surged out of the stone door.

At this moment, even Kai Ya herself failed to realise that a black hole had silently appeared in the depths of her sea of consciousness. As soon as the Origin of Ways entered her body, it surged into the black hole and completely vanished.

Ever since the black hole appeared, Kai Ya absorbed more than half of the Origin of Ways that had surged out of the stone door. Even Jian Chen and the old woman’s combined efforts were not enough to match Kai Ya.

“The Origin of Ways. It’s actually the Origin of Ways. Qing Suo, wake up quick…” The sword spirits that had been slumbering for quite some time in Jian Chen’s body were alarmed.

“It really is the Origin of Ways. This is something left behind when Grand Exalts pass away in meditation, and their souls return to the world. It’s one of the most precious things in the world. Zi Ying, seize it all…”

Afterwards, the sword spirits also took action. Hidden within Jian Chen’s body, the sword spirits turned into yin and yang Qi as they revolved around each other like a yin and yang symbol. As they revolved, a suction immediately appeared, rapidly drawing in the Origin of Ways.

With the sword spirit’s assistance, the Origin of Ways that surged into Jian Chen increased by several times over. Under their combined efforts, he managed to absorb thirty-five percent of the Origin of Ways. Kai Ya absorbed half of it all by herself, while the old woman only managed to absorb fifteen percent in the end.
