Chapter 3939: The White Jade Lamp

Xing Caijian had already shut her eyes. A unique presence radiated from her body, seemingly merging with this stellar formation.

At that moment, Xing Caijian still only possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor, but none of the Immortal Exalts present dared to underestimate her.

A figure who could control a peak formation of the Skyscraping World, even if her cultivation was not particularly high, was enough to become unprovoked in everyone’s eyes.

Of course, these Immortal Exalts still did not know about the power of the ancient sword in Xing Caijian’s possession. They did not know that the ancient sword was actually Xing Caijian’s strongest weapon, as well as the primary reason why the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor was not worried about Xing Caijian entering the Skyscraping World alone.

At this moment, Xing Caijian merged with the formation of the Skyscraping World, allowing her to temporarily break free from all restraints from the Skyscraping World. She freely expanded the senses of her soul as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, covering the entire Skyscraping World in virtually an instant.

At that moment, nothing in the Skyscraping World remained hidden from Xing Caijian. As a matter of fact, because she had merged with the formation, she could use its profound capabilities to a certain degree, allowing her to see some secrets that she definitely would have missed with her original strength.

“I’ve found you. As long as you’re in the Skyscraping World, I’d like to see where you can hide!” Suddenly, Xing Caijian called out gently. Her gaze became extremely frosty. She trapped the seed of ways in her hand and sped off into the distance.

After Xing Caijian left, the formation faded away as well. The sky in the Skyscraping World returned to normal, shrouded by the thick mist.

“C’mon, let’s go and take a look. Anyways, I refuse to believe a Seventh Heavenly Layer expert has entered here…”

“If there really was someone at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, then there’s no point for us to fight against one another, as we have no chance at all. They would be on a completely different level to us.”

“Princess Xing Caijian of the Heavenly Star Palace should be able to handle an expert like that, right? After all, she can control the formations here. Even though it’s just one of them, the power would still be unimaginable…”

“That would be difficult. Didn’t you notice that Xing Caijian did not use the power of the formation to attack? In my opinion, Xing Caijian can only borrow the formations to obtain some miscellaneous abilities such as searching. As for completely controlling the formation here, her strength probably still isn’t enough…”

“That would be difficult to say. After all, she is the one and only daughter of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor…”

......

…

The several dozen Immortal Exalts gathered there all followed Xing Caijian’s presence and hurried over.

Elsewhere near the mountain peak in the Skyscraping World, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy used his laws as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt to completely overwhelm Jian Chen. The terrifying power that could only be described as devastating constantly destroyed Jian Chen’s body in an attempt to waste away the Source of Life’s recovery power.

“The formation that appeared just now was personally set up by the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. In the Skyscraping World, the only person that can control this formation is the daughter of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, Xing Caijian!” The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy glanced over and furrowed his brows slightly.

When the formation appeared, he felt like he was being watched. Even when he had already intentionally hidden his tracks and presence, he still felt exposed.

“Have I been discovered?” the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy murmured. He casually glanced at the surroundings. There was a hint of powerlessness on his face.

Outside, if he intentionally hid himself, even some Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would not necessarily be able to find him.

But in the Skyscraping World, in this unique environment, his hands were tied.

In the next moment, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy suddenly vanished. He sped off into the distance with Jian Chen, moving rapidly as he tidied through the memory fragments left behind by the Soul Guarding Ancestor. Gradually, a clear map of the Skyscraping World appeared in the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s head.

With a clear route, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was in his element now. He directly appeared on the steps that led to the lower regions of the Skyscraping World, making his way to the side and foot of the mountain with Jian Chen.

The side and foot of the mountain were connected, and it was very spacious. Who knew how many times larger it was compared to the mountain peak. Once he made it there, finding someone would truly be no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Soon after the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy had left, figures gathered near where he had stopped previously. Xing Caijian and numerous Immortal Exalts appeared there.

However, as she gazed at the empty region, Xing Caijian furrowed her brows firmly.

As for the several dozen Immortal Exalts who followed her here, they used various abilities, merging their souls with the space there to study the surroundings, but they found nothing.

When the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy left, he had already erased all of his traces and presences. With his strength at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, perhaps he could not fool experts of the same level with how rushed he was, but it was more than enough to deal with these early Immortal Exalts.

Very soon, the colour of the sky in the Skyscraping World changed once again. The tremendous sea of stars descended once more, covering every inch of the Skyscraping World.

Xing Caijian activated the tremendous formation that her father had personally set up in the past a second time.

The cultivators in different parts of the Skyscraping World were all shocked. They raised their heads and looked at the tremendous sea of stars in the sky.

On the side of the mountain, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy stopped subconsciously. His expression changed. He was uneasy.

When the formation appeared, the feeling of being watched filled him once again, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Entering the Skyscraping World was equivalent to entering the range of these various peak formations. He could not hide even if he wanted to.

Xing Caijian sensed the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s location again from the top of the mountain. Clutching her ancient sword, she rushed down the mountain while keeping the seed of ways trapped in her possession.

However, when Xing Caijian appeared on the side of the mountain, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was already gone. He had already made his way to a further place, heading to the bottom of the mountain.

“Jian Chen, my power is being drained faster and faster. This can’t continue. You have to get yourself out of this situation as soon as possible,” the Source of Life said in Jian Chen’s head. There were some hints of seriousness.

It had wasted far, far too much power against the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy. It was not in its peak condition in the first place, so the power it wasted pained the Source of Life deeply.

Facing the laws of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt was even more difficult than facing several dozen early Immortal Exalts at the same time.

After all, some differences in quality could not be made up by quantity.

“Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, how much longer does the Divine Formation of the Heavens still need?” Jian Chen sent a wisp of the senses of his soul into the Primeval Divine Hall.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt sat above the several tens of thousand disciples in an independent space within the Primeval Divine Hall. Glancing down, he said sternly, “Sect master, all of the disciples are already doing all that they can to recover their energy, but despite that, we’ll still need three days at the very least.”

“Master, the Divine Formation of the Heavens at its current level might not be able to threaten this Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. From the strength of his laws, he’s no longer a regular Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. He is extremely close to the Eighth Heavenly Layer,” said the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall.

When he heard that, Jian Chen’s heart sank slightly. His greatest trump cards were the Profound Sword Qi, the Divine Formation of the Heavens, and fusing the twin swords. Against a Seventh Heavenly Layer expert, his Divine Formation of the Heavens had already lost its deterrent influence. The Profound Sword Qi obviously went without saying as well. It was still of some use against early Immortal Exalts, but it would be no different than an itch to late Immortal Exalts.

He directly eliminated fusing the twin swords as well. Why would the enemy just stand there foolishly and wait to be cut down by him?

“Against an expert of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, the countermeasures I currently possess really are a little insufficient, but it’s not like I don’t have anything at all.” Suddenly, determination appeared in Jian Chen’s eyes. In the next moment, a white jade lamp silently appeared.

The oil lamp was one of his spoils from destroying the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. It was a great weapon that could threaten Immortal Exalts of the Seventh heavenly Layer, but the exact way to use it had always been in the possession of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Even after all these years of study, Jian Chen had not found the complete way to use it.

He did not have the complete method of use, but he had already deduced an incomplete method. The greatest difference between the two was one was controllable, while the other was uncontrollable.

Jian Chen was aware that detonating the white jade lamp before a Seventh Heavenly Layer expert was extremely difficult. If he mishandled it, he might even be overwhelmed before he could even find the time to set it off.

As a result, Jian Chen had already made his preparations before he took out the oil lamp. As soon as the lamp appeared, Jian Chen set it off as quickly as possible.

Immediately, the various inscriptions on the white jade lamp fell into disorder. The balance inside the lamp was immediately disturbed. A violent power erupted with a startling rumble. Jian Chen and the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy were immediately swallowed by it.

Jian Chen had detonated the lamp in an almost suicidal manner!
