Chapter 2019: Refining the Fifth Floor
Currently, the black-robed Huai An sat beside a pool of water in a manor located in an extremely remote area of the city. He held a fishing rod as he fished leisurely, but a fish had already bitten and taken the entire hook along with the bait away. On the contrary, Huai An did not react at all. Clearly, his mind was not on fishing.
“The princess of the Xi Empire, Xi Yu, has returned to the Tian Yuan clan. With how the Xi Emperor treats his daughter, there must be experts among her personal guards. God damnit, destroying the Tian Yuan clan has gotten even more difficult,” Huai An’s face was extremely sunken as he felt furious inside.
Time was unable to dilute his fury and hatred. Although a few years had already passed, his urge to destroy the Tian Yuan clan did not weaken at all. Instead, it only grew stronger. However, in these past few years, a Primordial realm expert had always protected the Tian Yuan clan, so Huai An never took action.
As a result, he had continued to wait patiently in the provincial city, waiting to destroy the Tian Yuan clan after the Primordial realm expert had left.
However, he had never thought that after several years of waiting, the Primordial realm still would not have left. Instead, the princess of the Xi Empire returned.
“Huai An, this is not a place where you should be. Are you going to leave by yourself, or do you need me to ask you to leave?”
At this moment, an old but simple voice rang out from behind Huai An. The voice had appeared without any prior signs such that Huai An’s heart jumped, and he shot to his feet out of surprise when he heard it.
Xi Yu’s master, Sun Fan, had appeared silently behind Huai An.
Since Sun Fan was much more powerful than Huai An, and he kept his presence concealed, Huai An had failed to sense his arrival at all.
“Who are you?” Huai An’s expression became ugly. Looking at the old man, he understood that he was not the one who had been watching over the Tian Yuan clan. He was extremely likely to be the one who had accompanied the princess to the Dong’an province.
He was bitter. The Xi Emperor was really willing to pay the price for his daughter, actually sending a Primordial realm expert to protect her.
Even in eternal empires, Primordial realm experts were lofty existences. Their statuses were extremely special.
“There’s no need for you to know who I am. All you need to know is that if you don’t leave here, I’ll make you leave,” Sun Fan said calmly. With that, the terrifying presence of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime gradually surged out from his body.
Huai An felt extremely furious when he sensed Sun Fan’s strength. But in the end, he only snorted coldly and glanced at Sun Fan icily before leaving straight away.
Sun Fan let out a soft sigh after Huai An had left. He said to himself with much helplessness, “Empyrean Demon Cult, if it weren’t for the great elder behind you, would the Cloud Plane still allow you to exist?”
A golden damaged tower hovered in a spatial crack. An extremely large spatial storm wreaked havoc in its surroundings, and this storm was so powerful that even Infinite Primes would struggle to break free once they were caught in there.
In the tower on the first floor, master Chanlong sat on the floor as he cultivated. He comprehended the Way of Formations as Kai Ya walked around the first floor by herself, constantly studying the surroundings. She observed every inch of the space around her carefully as bewilderment filled her eyes.
She discovered that every single part of the place gave off an extremely strong sense of familiarity, but no matter how she thought about it, she did not understand where this sense of familiarity came from.
Jian Chen sat below a stone tablet like a statue on the ninth floor. He was still refining the Anatta Tower.
The time within the spatial crack was a mess. It was even impossible to sense the passing of time, so even Jian Chen himself had no idea just how much time had passed during his refinement.
He had already refined the first four floors of the Anatta Tower. Right now, he was refining the fifth floor.
The Anatta Tower possessed a total of nine floors. If he wanted complete control over the Anatta Tower such that it truly became his god artifact, he would need to refine all nine floors.
However, after refining the first four floors, Jian Chen discovered that although he did not possess complete control over the Anatta Tower, his control over the tower had increased significantly.
For example, he was able to move the Anatta Tower around from the interior. However, he could only move it extremely slowly such that once something happened, he would not even be able to dodge with its speed.
As a result, he needed to refine the fifth floor and increase his control over the tower.
The refinement of the fifth floor was extremely arduous for Jian Chen. He proceeded at an extremely slow pace, but he had completely forgotten about time, devoting himself to the refinement.
After who knows how long, perhaps a few years, perhaps a few months, or maybe even a few decades, Jian Chen finally refined the fifth floor.
At this moment, Jian Chen could clearly sense that it had become much easier to control the Anatta Tower. As a matter of fact, he could clearly feel that with a single thought, he could make the tower move as he pleased with his eyes closed.
This felt like a sliver of his soul had fused with the Anatta Tower.
Moreover, to Jian Chen’s delight, he discovered that he could use the most basic attacks of the tower after refining the fifth floor.
However, the Anatta Tower was already greatly damaged. Coupled with the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt’s suppression, the attacks from the tower were not overly powerful.
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the stone tablet that he had refined more than half of. Then he vanished silently.
He did not refine the sixth floor because the fifth floor was his limit with his current strength.
Jian Chen returned to the first floor, and with a thought, he was connected to the world of the first floor. He immediately understood master Chanlong and Kai Ya’s situation.
Master Chanlong was comprehending the Way of Formations, so Jian Chen did not disturb him. With a thought, he used the power of the first floor to move himself to Kai Ya’s location.
Currently, Kai Ya stood at the eastern edge of the first floor. It was called an edge because the space beyond that was destroyed, reduced to darkness. A huge sword hovered in the sky, suppressing the place.
Kai Ya currently stood there. Her head was raised as she stared at the figure of the sword the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt left behind in the past.
Jian Chen also looked up. He saw the huge strand of sword Qi in the sky, and some amazement and pity appeared in his eyes. He said, “Kai Ya, I can control the divine artifact such that it can move freely now. We’ll be able to leave very soon.
Kai Ya returned to her senses. She looked at Jian Chen and smiled, “We shouldn’t tarry. Let’s find a way to leave immediately. There’s no sense of time here, so I don’t know how long we’ve stayed here.”
