Chapter 3874: Threatening a Court of Heaven
Jian Chen was obviously aware of the nine great secret techniques left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable.
The reason why the Skyscraping World could attract so many experts was definitely not due to the seed of ways alone.
After all, only a single seed of ways would appear with each opening, and it would basically all be taken by the powerful. The weaker cultivators did not even have a single chance at obtaining it.
As a result, some of the weaker cultivators did not enter the Skyscraping World for the seed of ways but for the various secret techniques, legacies, and heavenly resources that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable had left behind.
The nine secret techniques happened to be one of the core legacies of the Skyscraping World.
As Shi Yingqi enthusiastically introduced the nine secret techniques to Jian Chen, the cultivators in the surroundings all opened their eyes as well. The three Immortal Monarchs stood up in a hurry, clasping their fists towards Jian Chen to greet him as his juniors.
They obviously did not know Jian Chen. Their greeting was not out of respect for Jian Chen’s background or identity but because he was an Immortal Emperor!
At this moment, Jian Chen clearly sensed a hostile gaze land on him. He looked over and saw the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt’s first son, Chi Yutian. He was gazing at him coldly as if he had a great grudge against him.
“Looks like you have quite an opinion of me. If it’s because of your father’s entry spot to the Skyscraping World, you better forget about it. Otherwise, not only will you die here, but your father will suffer consequences as well,” Jian Chen said emotionlessly. His voice was filled with deep disdain.
It was as if he had never taken Chi Yutian or his father, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, seriously.
Chi Yutian’s face immediately sank. Anger stirred within him.
Despite the fact that he was tempted to immediately teach this mere mid Immortal Emperor junior a lesson, he also had several qualms when he recalled how the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian, treated Jian Chen. He also recalled the numerous rumours regarding Jian Chen on the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
“Calm down! Calm down! This kid is nowhere near as strong as me, but his backing is very powerful, well beyond what our Yi Immortal City can afford to provoke.” Chi Yutian warned himself. Right now, their Yi Immortal City’s greatest source of confidence was his seventh brother, Chi Yun, who had entered the Courtyard of Ways as a student.
However, he also understood that perhaps that identity could elevate the status of their Yi Immortal City significantly, such that other organisations of the same strength would look at them in great regard, but it was nowhere near the point where they could do as they pleased.
“The seventh son of the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, Chi Yun, is a student of the Courtyard of Ways. Yang Yutian, with how haughty you seem, don’t tell me even the Courtyard of Ways means nothing in your eyes?”
The two great elders of the Immortal Feather sect sitting on the ground opened their eyes at the same time and both looked at Jian Chen. One of them spoke up aloofly with the tone of a senior lecturing a junior.
“What a joke. A student of the Courtyard of Ways is enough to represent the Courtyard of Ways in their entirety?” Jian Chen snorted in contempt. He did not hold back.
When he said that, the expressions of the cultivators present immediately changed slightly. If he spoke to regular cultivators like that, it would not be a problem at all, but the two people here were great elders of the Immortal Feather sect. They were people of great status. Even some of the Immortal Exalts who entered the Skyscraping World had to show them some respect.
“Fellow Yang Yutian, they’re great elders of the Immortal Feather sect. They possess significant status. You shouldn’t provoke them, much less offend them…” Shi Yingqi, the person who had proactively greeted Jian Chen earlier, communicated to Jian Chen sternly, seemingly afraid that Jian Chen did not know about their identities.
Chi Yutian was surprised as well. He knew that Jian Chen’s background was powerful, at least to the extent where their Yi Immortal City could not afford to provoke him, but he never expected Jian Chen to actually be so rude even when facing great elders of the Immortal Feather sect.
Did he even look down on the courts of heaven?
“Hmph, how dare you speak to us like this. Yang Yutian, do you know who we are? Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you gained the good graces of Xing Caijian?” the other great elder of the Immortal Feather sect barked with hostility.
Perhaps the daughter of the heavenly emperor’s good graces towards Jian Chen could make some experts have second thoughts, but that definitely did not include the Immortal Feather sect.
Sensing the anger of the two great elders, Chi Yutian on the side let out a sigh of relief. He began to wait eagerly, hoping that he could borrow the Immortal Feather sect’s strength to teach a proper lesson to Yang Yutian.
“Hmph, our Yi Immortal City can’t afford to provoke you, but you just had to provoke the Immortal Feather sect. Yang Yutian, oh Yang Yutian. Your background is impressive, but before a court of heaven, it’s nothing.” Chi Yutian rejoiced inside.
Jian Chen stared at the two of them indifferently and smiled mysteriously. “Of course, I know who you are. Aren’t you just great elders of the Immortal Feather sect?”
However, when they noticed Jian Chen’s smile, the two great elders immediately shivered inside. A chill ran down their spines. They could sense tremendous danger.
“You and I have no grievances, but who can help the fact that you’re great elders of the Immortal Feather sect? Since you are from the Immortal Feather sect, then the two of you must die today!” Jian Chen’s voice immediately became icy-cold. As soon as he said that, the Heaven-lifting sword appeared in his hand.
Everyone in the surroundings was dumbstruck. Shi Yingqi from the Sword Sect of Star Pointing subconsciously rubbed his ears. He thought he was hallucinating.
Chi Yutian’s eyes narrowed. He became dazed. His thought process halted.
The two great elders from the Immortal Feather sect were stunned as well, almost failing to respond.
In the vast Immortals’ World, just how many people had the courage to oppose a court of heaven?
Even if there really were people bold enough to look down on the courts of heaven, they definitely did not have the courage to publicly kill great elders of the Immortal Feather sect.
That was because great elders were no longer regular people. They were already regarded as true members of the upper echelon of courts of heaven. They held great authority and influence. Any deaths of great elders would be bound to stir up a storm.
Across the Immortals’ World, apart from a handful of peak organisations and experts, no one could bear the wrath of a court of heaven.
However, before the two great elders could think much of it, a streak of light had already swept over. The sword Qi permeated the air, immediately enveloping the two of them.
Jian Chen had already struck. He swung the Heaven-lifting sword, and the pressure of a high quality god artifact filled the surroundings. The chilling killing intent made everyone feel like they had been plunged into a cavern of ice.
