Chapter 2395: Breakthrough

“If you exchange it with me, not only will I give you a tremendous amount of cultivation resources and heavenly resources, but I will also protect you from any disturbances so that you can cultivate at ease,” the Heaven-splitting Ancestor said calmly.

“Senior, are you chasing us away?” Zi Yun’s heart sank slightly.

“My patience is limited,” said the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.

“We’ll do it! We’re willing to exchange with you.” However, right after the Heaven-splitting Ancestor finished speaking, the artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace agreed eagerly. He felt much fear towards the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. Currently, the artifact stood there as a short old man.

“Alright. I’ll go prepare the items, and we’ll exchange them in three days.” The Heaven-splitting Ancestor was delighted. He chuckled aloud before vanishing from the Neptunean Divine Palace.

After the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s departure, the artifact spirit said to Xiao Man bitterly and powerlessly, “Little master, we’re out of options. If we don’t agree to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s terms, we won’t be able to stay here any longer.”

“You still should remember what we faced several days ago, little master. We didn’t have the deterrence of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, and all the peak experts who desired the Neptunean Divine Palace swarmed us. The defences of the Neptunean Divine Palace are very great, but they are not invincible. Once we end up in the hands of those peak experts, we’ll probably lose our freedom. Matters even more severe than that might happen.”

“But the Heaven-splitting Ancestor is different. The Neptunean Divine Palace does not interest him. What interests him is only the Pyrnite Ore on the eighth floor, so the Heaven-splitting Ancestor definitely won’t harm us.”

“B- but he hasn’t brought back brother Jian Chen.” Xiao Man refused to accept it.

The artifact spirit sighed and said sincerely, “Little master, you still haven’t understood that what we need to consider is not Jian Chen’s safety but our own. We cannot offend the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. He can even move through the Neptunean Divine Palace as he pleases. If he forcefully takes away the Pyrnite Ore, we won’t be able to stop him at all. If it were not for his pride as a supreme expert at his level, coupled with the fact that little master is no different from a child in his eyes, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor would just take what he wanted, and we probably won’t be able to keep the Pyrnite Ore until now.”

“Anyway, since the Heaven-splitting Ancestor wants the Pyrnite Ore, it’s not something we’ll be able to keep. Even if the Neptunean Divine Palace ends up in the hands of other peak experts, they’ll only be able to offer up the Pyrnite Ore to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor obediently...”

“In the end, it’s all because we’re too weak. Xiao Man, after we get cultivation resources from senior Heaven-splitting, we have to work hard on cultivation. Without great strength, we will constantly be restrained, under the control of others no matter where we go in this world.” Zi Yun sighed gently as determination flooded her eyes.

She had obtained the legacy of a Chaotic Prime from the Neptunean Divine Palace, so she stood at a good starting point. The only things she lacked now was hard work and cultivation resources.

...

Time passed silently. Unknowingly, a year and a half had already passed since the mess on the Desolate Plane.

A colossal spatial battleship shot through the endless sea of stars within the Saints’ World, moving at great speeds.

At this moment, Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes as he sat within a high class cabin.

He looked at the jade bottle placed beside him. Just when he wanted to lift it, he suddenly hesitated.

“Gusta’s essence blood is very difficult to refine. Absorbing a single droplet takes me half a year. Now, only two droplets remain, but looking at the size of my chaotic neidan, I won’t be able to reach the fourteenth layer even if I absorb them. Whatever, I’ll keep the two droplets for now and exchange them for some five-colored divine crystals when I get the chance.”

“Gusta was one of the most powerful experts below Grand Exalt. His essence blood would obviously be invaluable. I just happen to be in need of quite a lot of five-colored divine crystals to go to the Prosper Plane.” Jian Chen immediately stowed the bottle away when he thought of this point. After that, he clasped Gusta’s fleshly core in his hand before beginning to absorb the energy and vital energy within it.

The energy within the fleshly core was extremely terrifying and powerful. It was on a whole different level compared to all the energy within a droplet of essence blood.

After all, the fleshly core was equivalent to Jian Chen’s chaotic neidan. It was the reserve of all of Gusta’s power.

As a result, Jian Chen was especially careful and cautious when he absorbed the energy in the fleshly core. He only dared to absorb a tiny strand each time.

Even though it was just a tiny strand, it was tremendous to him. It would take him quite a long time to refine it completely.

Time passed slowly. It took Jian Chen even longer to reach the fourteenth layer compared to his past breakthroughs.

In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen had already been cultivating on the spatial battleship for a decade. He did not take a single step out of the cabin during this time, devoting it all to cultivation. Even when the spatial battleship faced the attacks of space beasts and shook heavily, his cultivation continued.

With the fleshly core, Jian Chen was extremely confident about reaching the fourteenth layer. He was willing to bet his life on it.

Finally, a powerful pulse of energy suddenly erupted from the cabin where Jian Chen cultivated. The formations that Jian Chen had cast down in the past crumbled like paper before the energy, immediately shattering to pieces. The energy swept out with pressure like a storm, striking the walls of the cabin.

Immediately, formations flickered on the walls and locked all the energy within the cabin, preventing it from spreading outside.

The defences of the spatial battleship were extremely great. Even though the storm of energy was very powerful, the formations blocked it easily.

There were several high class cabins on the spatial battleship. Jian Chen happened to reside in one of them.

At this moment, in another cabin, Kai Ya’s eyes suddenly snapped open. She stared in Jian Chen’s direction with shining eyes as a smile gradually appeared on her face. She murmured, “Jian Chen has broken through again.”

Afterwards, she seemed to think of something, and she became gloomy. She said downheartedly, “Jian Chen is becoming stronger and stronger now, but I’m struggling to make any progress at all. I always feel like there’s a mysterious power preventing me from reaching a higher level of cultivation.” Sighing softly, Kai Ya stood up and made her way out of the cabin.

Jian Chen had finished cultivating, so he walked out of the cabin where he cultivated in, standing in one of the common spaces on the spatial battleship.

His bearing varied drastically from before; this was due to a metamorphosis of his existence, a qualitative leap of his vital energies.

After ten years of secluded cultivation, his Chaotic Body finally advanced to the fourteenth layer. He had reached a new level of strength.

“My current cultivation is equivalent to a Third Heavenly layer Infinite Prime. Of course, that’s only cultivation. In terms of battle prowess, I’ll definitely be far beyond the Third Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime with the strength of my Chaotic Body,” Jian Chen clenched his fist. As he sensed the terrifying energy surging through him, he became delighted.
