Chapter 2451: The Wind Venerable
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord did not care about the child’s attitude. He stared at the Heartless Child of the Myriad Bone Guild calmly and said, “Even if it’s a deal between your Myriad Bone Guild and Jian Chen, you only need to send a regular Grand Prime to complete something like this. Why would there be a need for the figure that ranks second in the Myriad Bone Guild to take personal action?”
“Moreover, against a junior who’s only a Chaotic Prime?”
The Heartless Child snickered when he heard that and replied, “Nine Brilliance Star Lord, there’s no need for you to concern yourself over who I kill.”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord stared at the Heartless Child deeply. After a moment of thought, he suddenly extended a finger gently.
Immediately, resplendent starlight appeared, enveloping him and the Heartless Child with a colorful screen of light.
The screen of light seemed to create a world of its own, distorting the ways and making the laws incomplete. It was completely independent from the outside world.
The Heartless Child watched this happen calmly. He did not show any surprise at all and remained composed.
“You’ve used your Way of Stars to isolate the region and turn it into your own domain, pushing out the laws of the Saints’ World. You’re obscuring the heavenly secrets. Nine Brilliance Star Lord, it seems like something’s bothering you,” the Heartless Child said indifferently as his eyes shone.
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was stern and did not deny it. “You’re right. There is indeed something bothering me. Heartless Child, if I’ve guessed correctly, you’re helping Jian Chen because you want to establish ties with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng through him.”
The Heartless Child was calm. He sat down and said, “You’re right. I do plan on doing something like that. The greatest threat of our Myriad Bone Guild is right before us. If we can’t survive this threat, our Myriad Bone Guild will vanish from the Saints’ World permanently, and Jian Chen might be the crucial figure who can assist our Myriad Bone Guild in surviving this threat.”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord sank into his thoughts momentarily. He nodded and said, “Over three million years ago, the Spiritsages suffered heavy losses after the war with the Immortals’ World. Even their greatest expert, the Wind Venerable, went missing after that war.”
“In the past, the leader of your Myriad Bone Guild believed the Wind Venerable was dead, so he mobilised all the power of the Myriad Bone Guild to launch a large scale attack on the Spiritsages while they were at their weakest in an attempt to steal their ancestral artifact.”
“As the Spiritsages had lost the Wind Venerable, they no longer possessed an expert who could hold off you and the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild. In the end, the Spiritsages suffered extremely heavy losses and even their sacred item, the Holy Spirit’s Blood, ended up in the hands of your Myriad Bone Guild. If it were not for the Spiritsages activating the power of their ancestral artifact at a crucial moment, they probably would have gone extinct aside from the Wind Venerable.”
When he reached there, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord shook his head. “It’s just a pity that the Spiritsage’s ancestral artifact’s greatest ability was to protect, so it could only prevent the Spiritsages from going extinct. It could do nothing to your Myriad Bone Guild.”
The Heartless Child’s face became rather sunken. He said sternly, “It was our miscalculation. We underestimated the Wind Venerable’s strength. We never thought he would be able to survive against the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound from the Immortals’ World. It’s just a pity that our Myriad Bone Guild mobilised all our power and searched for him for over a million years, but we still failed to find where he was hiding. We lost our greatest chance of killing the Wind Venerable.”
“So much time has passed now, so the Wind Venerable should have recovered from most of his wounds now. Killing him will become more and more difficult. Once he fully recovers, it’ll be a disaster for our Myriad Bone Guild.” When he reached there, the Heartless Child showed deep fear in his eyes. He said sternly, “The Wind Venerable is far too powerful. Although he and my brother are both Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, even if I work with my brother, we’re still not his opponent…”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord could not help but break into laughter when he heard that. “If you work with the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild, you’re equivalent to a dark gold ape king of the Ancient Great Apes at most. You might even be less than that. On the other hand, the Wind Venerable fighting alone killed two dark gold ape kings consecutively in the past.”
“It’s exactly because of that that our Myriad Bone Guild is searching for a way to deal with the Wind Venerable. My brother once peered into the heavenly secrets, and although he failed to find where the Wind Venerable was hiding, he saw that the Wind Venerable would appear soon. He must have fully recovered now,” said the Heartless Child.
“Heartless Child, I would advise you to not waste your energy on trying to establish ties with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng through Jian Chen,” the Nine Brilliance Star Lord said suddenly as the light in his eyes flickered.
The Heartless Child’s eyes narrowed. He stared right at the Nine Brilliance Star Lord and said, “Your master’s a sovereign of the Saints’ World, so you must know that the Anatta Grand Exalt isn’t really dead. The Anatta Grand Exalt allowed Jian Chen to carry the Anatta Tower, which means that there must be an unknown relationship between him and the Anatta Grand Exalt. As long as the Anatta Grand Exalt stands on our side, even if the Wind Venerable of the Spiritsages becomes a Grand Exalt, he won’t be able to touch our Myriad Bone Guild.”
The Nine Star Brilliance Lord’s lips curled into a sneer when he heard that. “Heartless Child, the way you think about everything is too simple. However, there’s one point that you are correct about. There is an unknown secret between Jian Chen and the Anatta Grand Exalt. I learnt about this secret from my master.”
“Jian Chen is actually the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways. He’s a tool for the Anatta Grand Exalt to comprehend the ways. Once he’s ripe, the Anatta Grand Exalt will harvest him. At that time, Jian Chen’s fate will be dying at the Anatta Grand Exalt’s hands, so you’re dreaming if you plan on establishing ties with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng through Jian Chen…”
“What did you say? Jian Chen is the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways?” The Heartless Child was astounded.
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord nodded, “And I have something else to tell you. The Wind Venerable of the Spiritsages actually recovered many years ago. The reason why he still hasn’t appeared is because he has reached an extremely critical juncture in his cultivation. He’s no longer in a state where he can care about others.”
The Heartless Child’s face immediately changed, and he became extremely solemn.
“This is the Wind Venerable’s location. Under the rules of your Myriad Bone Guild, I should be able to request a large amount of treasures from you in return for it, but I’ll give it to you for free. If it’s possible, I don’t wish for the Wind Venerable to survive either because he’s just too powerful…” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord extended a finger, and a speck of starlight immediately shot into the Heartless Child’s hand. Afterwards, he vanished, having departed from there.
The Heartless Child glanced at the chart in his hand before looking at Jian Chen, who was fighting many Primordial realm experts on the Aqua Plane.
“I never thought about that. I really never thought about it. Never did I think that you would be the fruit of ways for the Anatta Grand Exalt. Fruit of ways… fruit of ways… This is just too perfect…” The Heartless Child’s seriousness vanished, replaced by a strange smile.
He clenched his hand slightly, and the star chart that recorded the Wind Venerable’s location shattered.
“Nine Brilliance Star Lord, do you really think that our Myriad Bone Guild doesn’t know about the Wind Venerable’s situation? The Wind Venerable is the greatest, looming disaster of our Myriad Bone Guild, so we would obviously do everything we can to find him. In reality, we’ve already located him. We know his situation much better than you. It’s just a pity that he’s far too powerful. Even if he has lost his mind and gone insane, we still can’t deal with him…”
