Chapter 3464: The Person Behind it All
Chapter 3464: The Person Behind it All
Gazing at the divine hall that had already emptied out, the Yuqing Immortal Emperor, the Luofu Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds all became dazed. They could not be any more shocked.
Four Immortal Emperors and several dozen Immortal Monarchs had just been devoured in such an effortless manner? And digested too?
For a moment, the strength of the Immortal Devouring Orchid completely surpassed their understanding.
Was this really just a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor plant?
Probably describing it as an Immortal Exalt was a little more fiting.
After devouring the four Immortal Emperors and the several dozen Immortal Monarchs, the Immortal Devouring Orchid behaved like it had only done something insignificant. It did not feel any discomfort at all. Its colossal body immediately shrank, turning back into a tiny vine that coiled around Jian Chen’s wrist like a bracelet. It seemed very much like an ornament.
“Right now, you’ve become stronger in terms of both devouring ability and capacity. Even four Immortal Emperors and several dozen Immortal Monarchs can’t satisfy you.” Jian Chen smiled gently. His gaze paused on the patterns of ways on the Immortal Devouring Orchid for a good moment. He had already come to a slight realisation that before he had gone to the Xuanhuang Microcosm, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already become extremely extraordinary after all of his efforts at nurturing it, but it was still nowhere near as exceptional as right now, nor had it evolved qualitatively.
Ever since the trip to the Xuanhuang Microcosm, the Immortal Devouring Orchid had truly completed an evolution. Its nature had changed qualitatively.
As a result, despite still seeming like an Immortal Devouring Orchid on the surface, it had already become a creature of a higher bloodline.
This was a tremendous evolution! A great leap in the levels of life!
The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s achievements left Jian Chen feeling particularly glad. The Immortal Devouring Orchid he had spent all his efforts raising and strengthening was finally of some use now.
“Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. You’re only an inch away from the realm of Immortal Exalts now. Before I knew it, you’ve gradually become my greatest source of assistance.” Jian Chen smiled faintly. Then he opened his hand and several dozen Space Rings hovered in the air.
These Space Rings were all left behind by the Immortal Devouring Orchid. They were all from the experts of the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union, and the Immortal Sect of Great Peace.
Jian Chen did not have the leisure to tidy through these Space Rings. He stowed away them casually before turning his focus back to the uneasy Luofu Immortal Emperor and the other two. He began to target their souls with the secret techniques of Martial Soul Force, interrogating them closely.
Finally, after a bit of effort, the three of them caved in before this agonising torment, pleading for death. They told him everything that they knew.
After getting the answers that he wanted, Jian Chen did not show mercy. He killed the Yuqing Immortal Emperor, the Luofu Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds.
They had killed so many disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, and Immortal Emperor Taihang’s death was connected to them as well. How could Jian Chen spare them over such a grievance?
“Senior Taihang and the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you don’t have to worry. I’ll return you to the sect very soon.” Jian Chen bowed deeply towards the remains of Immortal Emperor Taihang and the many disciples before leaving the divine hall with heavy footsteps.
After arriving outside, Jian Chen waved his hand, and the divine hall that had stood here for all these years immediately shrank to the size of a fist. Then he casually stowed it away.
He did not touch any of the remains inside. He maintained them in their original shape!
“The Master of Profound Secrets, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. He resides on the Azure Light mountain on the Jade’s End Heaven. He does not belong to a sect or organisation, which makes him an independent cultivator. He’s also a grandmaster at smithing, such that he has friends across the Immortals’ World. He is extremely well-connected.”
That was the information Jian Chen had learnt from the three Immortal Emperors about the Master of Profound Secrets. At the same time, the Master of Profound Secrets was the one who told the three of them about Immortal Emperor Taihang’s tracks and his identity.
In the past, the people who targetted Immortal Emperor Taihang from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens seemed to be the three Immortal Emperors on the surface, but in reality, the Master of Profound Secrets was behind it all.
The Master of Profound Secrets did not show himself. Instead, he manipulated everything from behind the scenes and gave the three Immortal Emperors three Immortal-destroying Thunders each.
With these Immortal-destroying Thunders, they could even deal with Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors.
That was why the Master of Profound Secrets left the matters here to the three of them without worry.
“The Master of Profound Secrets is the one behind Immortal Emperor Taihang’s death!” Jian Chen’s killing intent surged, but he understood that he could not deal with a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt currently.
“W-who are you? W-where are the ancestors?”
At this moment, a series of cries rang out from ahead. The immortals from the Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of White Clouds, and the Immortal Sect of Yuqing all turned pale at this moment. They gathered over weakly, staring at Jian Chen in surprise and doubt.
After all, not only were their ancestors inside the divine hall, but there were also several dozen experts from the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union, and the Immortal Sect of Great Peace.
But right now, the divine hall that had been protected by the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation for several hundred thousand years had been taken away, except their ancestors and everyone else who had entered the divine hall was nowhere to be seen.
That immediately left the experts from the three organisations extremely shocked. A terrifying thought formed in their heads.
Jian Chen ignored the immortals from the three organisations. He slowly looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid on his wrist. In the next moment, the Immortal Devouring Orchid suddenly flew out, turning into a colossal, gorgeous flower. Countless tendrils danced through the air, wounding around the immortals and delivering them into its mouth.
Immediately, a great swathe of furious roars filled with fright rang out in the surroundings. There were many immortals gathered in the surroundings. Not only were there people from the three organisations, but there were also many people who simply wanted to watch.
But at this moment, all the immortals from the three sects, regardless of strength, were wrapped up by the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s vines and devoured one by one.
Even experts as powerful as Immortal Monarchs were devoured without being able to offer any resistance. This sight immediately became extremely horrifying and shocking in the eyes of the onlooking immortals. Their eyes narrowed rapidly as all of them became terrified, retreating in a hurry.
In just a few seconds, the surroundings fell silent. All of the immortals from the three sects had vanished. Even those as powerful as Immortal Monarchs gave off a feeling like they were no different from ants.
“H-h-how is this possible?” The old man from the Water-splitting sect watched this unfold dumbfoundedly from a hundred kilometres away. He became extremely pale as his entire body shook uncontrollably.
He recognised with a single glance that Jian Chen was the person who had entered the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation. Back then, he had even told him many things about the history of the sword formation.
But right now, he had used a single daemon plant to kill all the experts from the three organisations effortlessly. That even included many Immortal Monarchs that he did not dare to offend.
The sight before his eyes left him shaking with chills.
Suddenly, Jian Chen looked over. His gaze landed on the Immortal Monarch of Mountains and Rivers from a hundred kilometres away, making him tremble in fright. He almost fell out of the air.
Fortunately for him, Jian Chen shifted his gaze very quickly. Then he tread through the air and immediately vanished from above the Starfall mountains, leaving behind the various stunned immortals.
