Chapter 2313: Hei Ya Breaks Through (1/2)

Saints were experts on the same level as Grand Exalts. Collecting ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts was not something Jian Chen dared to consider even in his wildest dreams. He could not obtain the artifact spirit’s assistance or directly possess the bronze divine hall in a short amount of time.

Afterwards, Jian Chen discussed with the artifact spirit some more. In the end, he was forced to accept the reality that the Primeval Divine Hall had nothing useful to him before he obtained ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts.

“I’ll leave an imprint on the back of your hand. This imprint is the key to the World of Grand Clarity. When you collect the ten droplets of essence blood one day, activate the imprint using the method that I’ll teach you, and the gateway to here will open up before you.”

“Bear in mind that you can only open the gateway when you’re in regular space. The imprint will be rendered useless in some wondrous places, sealed spaces, or even miniature worlds carved out by supreme experts.”

“The imprint can only open the gateway once, so do not activate it before you collect the ten droplets of essence blood. Under the restraint of the curse, I no longer have the power to give you a second key. Even if you enter the World of Grand Clarity some other way, I only have enough power to bring you here once because the Primeval Divine Palace isn’t located in the World of Grand Clarity.”

“This power can only be used once you’ve collected the ten droplets of essence blood…”

“The curse from the Dao Union Saint has kept me suppressed for far too long. I can’t stay conscious over long periods of time. I must continue slumbering. Leave by yourselves…”

The artifact spirit warned Jian Chen about many things. After he said that, his figure condensed from azure light seemed to disperse in the breeze like a wisp of smoke.

Jian Chen had been sent back to the first floor of the Primeval Divine Hall by the artifact spirit. It was where he had first entered the structure. The method to activate the imprint was now in his head.

The ancient hall immediately fell silent. Only Jian Chen was left standing in the huge hall, along with the unconscious Donglin Yanxue in his arms.

“Master, we still haven’t recovered from the fusion, so we need to sleep for a while longer,” the voices of the sword spirits rang out in Jian Chen’s head. Afterwards, he could clearly sense that the sword spirits had fallen back into a slumber.

In that moment, Jian Chen felt rather ashamed. He knew that he had fused the twin swords to free Mo Tianyun’s original body last time selfishly, ignoring all the objections from them. He had exerted the sword spirits far too much to the point where they still had not recovered even now.

“I have to collect ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts. Even if it’s not for the Primeval Divine Hall, I have to do it for the strand of Primeval Qi,” Jian Chen secretly swore an oath. The only way for him to make it up to the sword spirits was to obtain the Primeval Qi that would allow them to exceed their former prime.

Afterwards, he glanced at his hand. There was a shallow imprint on the back of his hand, and as he looked at it, it gradually faded before disappearing completely in the end.

However, Jian Chen knew that the key to the World of Grand Clarity had already fused into the back of his hand completely. It was hidden away deeply such that only he could sense its existence.

Jian Chen left the Primeval Divine Hall with the unconscious Donglin Yanxue and appeared outside.

It was still the same as when he first arrived. A strange mist filled the surroundings, while the Primeval Divine Hall shone with a dazzling azure light that seemed to glow forever, illuminating the region.

“This should be the tunnel out of here,” Jian Chen looked forwards. The strange mist swirled around slowly there. Even though it was all misty within the swirl, Jian Chen could sense the powers of space.

However, he did not leave because he somewhat understood that as long as he remained here, Donglin Yanxue would remain unconscious. Her unconsciousness did not come from her wounds; rather, it was because of the artifact spirit.

The artifact spirit did not want another master, so he did not want Donglin Yanxue to learn of his existence. It was a measure taken just in case Donglin Yanxue disclosed this fact and drew in experts from the outside world.

“If she awakens, I’ll be really restrained. I won’t be able to act freely at all. It looks like I need to spend some time here,” Jian Chen was in no hurry to leave. With a thought, the Anatta Tower suddenly appeared.
