“Most of the spiritual Qi here is provided by immortal crystals of various kinds. There’s even hints of presence from the divine crystals of the Saints’ World.” Jian Chen was amazed. As a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s wealth was completely beyond the imaginations of ordinary people. The tremendous amounts of spiritual Qi condensed from immortal crystals and divine crystals was only the tip of the iceberg of wealth that he had accumulated.

    As a matter of fact, it was even less than that.

    He looked around and discovered that he was standing in a huge square. The ground was paved from priceless spiritual jade, and the entire place was protected by a powerful formation that even Immortal Exalts could not destroy.

    At this moment, around three hundred cultivators of varying strength had already gathered on the square. Everyone who entered the Skyscraping World was here.

    However, Immortal Exalts only made up for a small portion of these people. The rest of them were all Immortal Emperors, and there was an extremely small number of people beneath Immortal Emperor.

    However, as soon as they arrived here, they began to pull together, forming groups of various sizes. Clearly, some organisations had already established alliances before they entered.

    However, there was one exception, which was the enchanting daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian!

    At this moment, she held the same ancient sword and stood in the square alone. With how cold she was, she did not try to approach anyone.

    Apart from Jian Chen, there was no other person here that knew the ancient sword in her arms was the sovereign god artifact of the Heavenly Star Palace, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star!

    “Fellow Caijian, would you like to travel with us? That way, we can watch each others’ backs along the way...”

    “Fellow Caijian, we sincerely invite you to join as. As long as you’re with us, you won’t have to do anything at all along the way. You can leave everything else to us...”

    “Fellow Caijian, we’re willing to serve you like horses and completely follow your arrangements for the rest of the trip in the Skyscraping World.”

    Xing Caijian and her extraordinary status obviously pulled her into the centre of attention. Even when she appeared extremely cold, there were still many people who approached her enthusiastically in an attempt to befriend her.

    Xing Caijian ignored these people. Even when they were Immortal Exalts, she treated them as if they did not exist.

    From beginning to end, apart from the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster and Jian Chen, she did not converse with another person.

    “You want to help me obtain a seed of ways? You don’t need it?” Jian Chen asked in complete surprise.

    Xing Caijian’s expression did not change at all. She said emotionlessly, “I haven’t come here for the seed of ways.”

    “Then why do you want to help me? After all, a group of Immortal Exalts will definitely be fighting over the seed of ways. This is a thankless task for you,” said Jian Chen.

    “You should know why I’m trying to help you. There are some secrets that you can’t hide from me, just like how you also know some of my secrets.” Xing Caijian looked at Jian Chen.

    Their conversation had already drawn over the attention of many Immortal Exalts in the surroundings. After all, Xing Caijian was the daughter of a heavenly emperor. In terms of status, she was without a doubt the loftiest person in the Skyscraping World, so lofty that even the Immortal Exalt ancestors of many peak organisations hoped to forge a tie with her.

    As a result, everything she did would draw the attention of many experts.

    However, her conversation with Jian Chen left everyone puzzled. It left them guessing.

    Only Jian Chen understood what Xing Caijian was referring to. She was talking about the twin swords and the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

    “Thank you for your kind intentions, fellow, but I’m accustomed to moving alone. I don’t like to travel with others. Farewell!” Jian Chen turned down Xing Caijian’s suggestion without any hesitation.

    Xing Caijian possessed the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, so she would indeed be a great source of help. However, travelling with her would also bring Jian Chen a great deal of inconvenience.

    With that, Jian Chen left the huge square alone. He vanished into the thick mist very soon. He left with great determination.

    Xing Caijian stood where she was and stared in the direction that Jian Chen had vanished off dazedly. She did not become irritated or angered. From beginning to end, her slightly cold eyes did not show any emotion at all, without a single ripple to be seen.

    Several seconds later, Xing Caijian looked away. As if nothing had happened, she left in another direction, vanishing instantly.

    There were still some Immortal Exalts present in the square adorned with white jade tiles. They witnessed the entire conversation between Jian Chen and Xing Caijian. Some of the Immortal Exalts had already locked onto the direction that Jian Chen had left in as their eyes flickered with colours.
