Chapter 3816: The Master of Profound Secrets
“What? There are other people hidden here?” Jian Chen was slightly surprised. His expression changed.
He had arrived at this asteroid field by following the Starflame Demon Lion. He had been gone for less than a single day. Were the people hidden here already here previously or did they only arrive here when he had returned to the Hall Brilliance Heaven?
Before Jian Chen could think too much about it, the Warring Old Freak had already arrived at a different location in the asteroid field with him. They stopped before a three hundred metre wide asteroid in the end.
Jian Chen studied the asteroid and did not notice anything special about it.
The Warring Old Freak said nothing. He simply stared at the asteroid emotionlessly. He only looked at it and did not do anything else.
At that instant, time seemed to freeze. After an entire minute, the Warring Old Freak finally showed signs of impatience. He let out a gentle pulse of his soul. “Are you still not coming out? If it weren’t for the concern of alarming the Starflame Demon Lion, I would have shattered this thing with a palm strike already.”
Perhaps due to the Warring Old Freak’s threats, a gate silently appeared on the ordinary asteroid. Inside stood an old daoist priest with a head full of white hair dressed in priest robes.
The old daoist priest’s presence was completely concealed. None of it leaked out, nor did he create any disturbances. Clearly, he was worried about alarming the Starflame Demon Lion.
The old daoist priest turned to the side slightly, making an inviting gesture to the Warring Old Freak.
The Warring Old Freak did not hesitate. He entered with Jian Chen, directly accessing the interior of the asteroid. He was fearless.
As soon as they entered the asteroid, it was as if they had entered a different world. The space inside was extremely large, at least a thousand kilometres across. Spiritual mountains towered over the land one after another, curling with mist. There were even birds that soared through the sky and sang clearly.
Fancy buildings stood among the mountains with brilliant decoration.
At first glance, it basically seemed like paradise, a land blessed with fortune.
If they looked up, they would notice that the situation outside was completely exposed to them. They could clearly see countless asteroids moving around according to certain patterns.
Even further away, between the cracks that would sometimes appear between the asteroids, they could even vaguely make out the Starflame Demon Lion’s colossal figure.
“This is a high quality god artifact! And one that possesses a concealing ability!” Jian Chen studied the surroundings and shuddered, finally recognising the true form of the asteroid.
“It has only barely made it into the ranks of high quality god artifacts. If I wanted to destroy it, it would just be a matter of two flicks of my hand.” The Warring Old Freak snorted coldly, clearly unhappy about this.
At this moment, the old man in priest robes appeared before the Warring Old Freak. He smiled gently and clasped his fist towards him. “You must be fellow Warring renowned on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. I didn’t expect to encounter fellow Warring in a place like this. It is an absolute honour.”
“And who are you?” The Warring Old Freak stared at the old man in daoist robes.
“I am from Jade’s End Heaven. My daoist title is the Master of Profound Secrets!” the old man said with his head lowered.
“The Master of Profound Secrets? Are you the Master of Profound Secrets of the Azure Light mountain on the Jade’s End Heaven?” Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed.
The old man looked at Jian Chen. However, he could not sense Jian Chen’s presence and discern his strength. As such, he did not have the courage to brush him aside. He smiled amicably. “That’s me! I never thought that you would’ve actually heard of me. However, I don’t think I know who you are. How may I refer to you, fellow?”
“I am Yang Yutian. I once visited the Jade’s End Heaven, which is why I have heard of senior before. It’s actually perfectly normal that you’re not familiar with me, senior. I’m only an Immortal Emperor after all. I’m not anyone impressive.” Jian Chen smiled as his eyes shone with a strange light.
When he first arrived in the Immortals’ World, he discovered the residence of a great elder of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Immortal Emperor Taihang, on the Grand Sovereign Heaven.
Immortal Emperor Taihang had been targeted by three Immortal Emperor organisations on the Grand Sovereign Heaven together. In the end, even the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that he brought with him had perished in the divine hall.
The person behind the three Immortal Emperors was the Master of Profound Secrets of the Azure Light mountain on the Jade’s End Heaven.
At this moment, he actually had a chance encounter with the main culprit behind the death of so many disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Jian Chen was unable to remain calm.
The Warring Old Freak looked back and forth between Jian Chen and the Master of Profound Secrets. He sank into his thoughts before proactively changing the topic. “So it’s the Master of Profound Secrets of the Jade’s End Heaven. I’ve never met you before, but I have heard plenty about you.”
“You’re too kind, senior Warring. Compared to senior Warring whose battle prowess is unparalleled, having never suffered a defeat amongst his peers, my bit of fame is absolutely nothing.” The Master of Profound Secrets smiled. Shortly afterwards, he glanced behind him and said, “Fellows, senior Warring of the Hall Brilliance Heaven has come in person. What are you waiting for? Come and greet him.”
Several figures rose up from the mountains in the distance. Each figure seemed indomitable, giving off a surging presence.
In the next moment, they all vanished. When they appeared again, they all arrived before the Warring Old Freak with their presences erased.
“Greetings, fellow Warring!”
These figures all clasped their fists towards the Warring Old Freak and spoke without being particularly rude or polite.
“Four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. This is quite a lineup.” The Warring Old Freak glanced at these people and let out a sigh of surprise.
Afterwards, the Master of Profound Secrets began to introduce them to the Warring Old Freak. The four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts happened to be the Jade Lotus Master of Mount Penglai on the Jade’s End Heaven.
The Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt of the Heaven’s Thunder Tower on the Numerous Layer Heaven!
The Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt of the Blood Immortal sect on the Ease Nurturing Heaven!
And the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Courtyard of Four Sages on the Scholarly Attainment Heaven!
The four Immortal Exalts all originated from different heavens. In particular, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt of the Blood Immortal sect was the greatest expert on the Ease Nurturing Heaven!
That was because on the entire Ease Nurturing Heaven, he was the only Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
The other three were all supreme figures on their respective heavens!
Not every single one of the thirty-three heavens had late Immortal Exalts. Many heavens only had mid Immortal Exalts as their greatest expert.
“What are we compared to senior Warring?” The Jade Lotus Master from the Jade’s End Heaven smiled gently. She was the only female present. She seemed to be in her twenties, possessing natural beauty and a slender figure. She gave off the bearing of a bold and daring woman.
The Jade Lotus Master was the second greatest expert of the Jade’s End Heaven!
“Hahahaha, three million years ago, senior Warring fought a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime of the Saints’ World to a stalemate. You’re completely right, fellow Jade Lotus. Even if we combined our efforts, we might not be able to withstand a blow from senior Warring.” The Rushing Thunder Immortal Exalt of the Numerous Layer Heaven laughed.
That was what they said, but they did not show any sign of fear or reverence when they faced the Warring Old Freak.
That was because they were all peak experts who ruled over a region of their own. They possessed the heart of the strong.
“So many of you have gathered here. Don’t tell me you plan on dealing with the Starflame Demon Lion?” the Warring Old Freak said as he glanced past these people slowly.
“You’re right about that, senior Warring. I’m refining an ancient pill. Some of its primary materials are sourced from space beasts, the stronger the better. I just happened to know about a Starflame Demon Lion that was active in outer space, so I invited a few fellows. We plan on dealing with this Starflame Demon Lion together,” said the Master of Profound Secrets.
“Four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts and a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt does form a very powerful group, but it’s nowhere near enough to deal with the Starflame Demon Lion.” The Warring Old Freak shook his head and said, “If it’s just the five of you, then I’d advise you to give up early, or it might not bode well.”
