Chapter 2678: A Grand Exalt’s Successor Appears
The middle-aged man had replied to Jian Chen’s questions in a rather flattering manner. He had been stunned by the Primordial realm presence Jian Chen purposefully gave off, so he answered Jian Chen’s questions with everything that he knew. He spoke in great detail.
Jian Chen also managed to learn about a special heavenly resource that never appeared in the Saints’ World, the Hundred Tribulations Grass.
A pill refined from a Hundred Tribulations Grass could allow a mortal to become a Godking. This effect was incredible, but the consequences were extremely terrifying as well, terrifying to a point where no one would be willing to take it under ordinary circumstances despite the sudden increase in cultivation.
“Has anything major happened in the World of the Fallen Beast recently?” Jian Chen asked.
“That I do not know. Though recently, those peak organisations have been constantly sending in sacrificial soldiers raised with Hundred Tribulations Godking Pills into the World of the Fallen Beast. As a result, I do assume something has happened in there,” the middle-aged man said carefully.
Jian Chen knew the middle-aged man had already surpassed a thousand years in age, so he probably did not even know what the World of the Fallen Beast looked like. As a result, Jian Chen did not take up anymore of his time. He just tossed some supreme grade divine crystals to the middle-aged man and left.
“Thank you for your reward, senior. Thank you for your reward.” The middle-aged man beamed when he looked at the several hundred supreme grade divine crystals. In the Saints’ World, several hundred supreme grade divine crystals would not even attract a second glance from a Godking, but every single one surprisingly valuable in the Spirits’ World.
This was because divine crystals were not as simple as currency in the Spirits’ World. It had the greater use of recovering origin energy.
There would be frequent battles in the Spirits’ World, and every battle would result in an exhaustion of origin energy. The origin energy in the Spirits’ World was different from the Saints’ World. All cultivators who came from the Saints’ World would struggle to absorb the origin energy here, so the only way for them to replenish their origin energy was through divine crystals.
These divine crystals had all been brought over from the Saints’ World, as it was no longer possible to mine divine crystals in the Spirits’ World.
The passage to the World of the Fallen Beast was to the very east of Darkstar City. Jian Chen walked slowly, except every single step would cross a tremendous distance, so he moved with lightning speed. He arrived at the entrance very soon.
The entrance had already been modified into a square. The square was extremely large and could easily hold a few tens of million people.
At this moment, at least a million cultivators had gathered in the square. Their cultivation varied, ranging from as weak as Gods to as strong as Primordial realm experts.
Above the square was the entrance to the World of the Fallen Beast. It was a huge swirl of energy that was thousands of metres across. Within it hid the power of a Grand Exalt, giving off shocking pulses of energy that struck fear into everyone’s hearts.
Cultivators would constantly pour in and out of the passageway to the World of the Fallen Beast. However, most of them were Deities and Gods. There were very few Overgods and barely any Godkings at all.
Only those below the age of a thousand years could use this entrance. It was extremely rare for people to reach Godking within a thousand years in the Saints’ World.
The World of the Fallen Beast contained many resources that the Saints’ World did not possess. Some cultivators would directly rush off to the stores of large organisations as soon as they emerged from the passage and exchange what they obtained in the World of the Forsaken Beast for what they needed.
At this moment, a Chaotic Prime’s presence appeared. A black-robed old man shot through the air above the square. With a wave of his hand, a divine hall expanded in the air. Afterwards, its doors swung open, and a group of Godkings immediately flew out. There were over a thousand of them.
Jian Chen glanced past them. He could tell instantly that they had been raised by Hundred Tribulations Godking Pills. They could only live for another hundred years. They were Godkings with the shortest life expectancy.
After the old man, a few other Primordial realm experts flew over from afar. There were Infinite Primes and Chaotic Primes, but without any exception, all of them brought a large number of sacrificial soldiers raised with Hundred Tribulations Godking Pills. They either carried the sacrificial soldiers in divine halls or directly led them through the air, flying over Darkstar City in a grand manner.
Every single person who arrived possessed the support of a large organisation and brought at least five or six hundred Godkings with them. Some even brought as much as over a thousand.
Immediately, over ten thousand sacrificial Godkings gathered in the square, directly stunning all the cultivators present.
“There are actually so many sacrificial soldiers. Heavens, what are the clans trying to do?”
“Has an earth-shaking matter really happened in the World of the Fallen Beast?”
Discussions broke out across the giant square. Everyone’s attention had been drawn away by the sacrificial soldiers. They began intense discussions.
However, the Primordial realm experts who had brought the sacrificial soldiers all sat down in the air and began resting. It was as if they were waiting for something.
Jian Chen stopped when he saw this. He did not hurry into the World of the Fallen Beast. At the same time, he concealed his true cultivation, passing it off as early Godking.
Suddenly, a tremendous, terrifying presence blanketed the entire region. In the distance, another group of people flew over steadily.
“ A Grand Prime! ” Jian Chen’s heart shivered. This was the first Grand Prime he had seen since coming to the Spirits’ World. He could not help but look over immediately.
The Grand Prime’s arrival made all the Primordial realm experts above the square stand up. They all bowed towards the Grand Prime due to the difference in seniority. They were extremely solemn.
“It’s an expert of the Dire Wolf clan.”
“What? The Dire Wolf clan? The Dire Wolf clan that obtained a Grand Exalt’s legacy on a nameless planet a few years ago?”
“That’s right, that Dire Wolf clan. It’s said that the Grand Exalt’s legacy was obtained by a nobody in the Dire Wolf clan. In the end, the junior’s status rose up, and he has now become their young master. He has received the full support of the Dire Wolf clan.”
Jian Chen could not help but think about the lonely planet he had encountered Xu Ran on in the past as he listened to their discussions. The ancient Skywolf’s legacy had been discovered by him and Kai Ya together. If it were not for the two of them, the Dire Wolf clan would have never received such a great fortuitous encounter.
Strictly speaking, he was the benefactor of the Dire Wolf clan!
“ Kai Ya, ” Jian Chen murmured inside. As soon as he thought of Kai Ya, his heart ached and sorrow began to swell.
The people from the Dire Wolf clan had already begun interacting with the Primordial realm experts of the other large organisations. The Grand Prime of the Dire Wolf clan was an old man with fierce facial features. He pulled a young man out from behind him and introduced, “This is the young master of our Dire Wolf clan, Jin Hong! Jin Hong, these are your seniors, so why don’t you greet them?”
Jin Hong seemed around twenty years old, except his appearance was nothing special. No part of him stood out apart from his late Godking cultivation.
“Greetings to the seniors!” Jin Hong clasped his fist. Even though he faced so many Primordial realm experts, he did not act out of place.
“Jin Hong? You must be the successor to the ancient Skywolf sovereign. You really are striking.” A few Primordial realm experts smiled. They did not put on any airs. Let alone the Grand Prime, just Jin Hong’s identity as the successor of a Grand Exalt was enough to raise serious attention from all of them.
