He was a mere Godking, yet he could make two famed Grand Primes place a bounty on him . Not only did the bounty reach the other planes and planets in the shortest amount of time possible, but Jian Chen had even become a familiar figure between all the major and minor organisations .
Even though everyone knew that it was countless times easier to find a needle in a haystack than to find someone hidden in the vast Saints’ World, the promises of the two Grand Primes was an irresistible temptation to many clans and organisations .
This was because all they needed was the support from one of the two experts, and their organisations would rise up .
As a result, even when they knew that it was hopeless, many organisations still decided to search for Jian Chen painstakingly .
There were even some organisations that had begun investigating Jian Chen’s identity and background .
They were not the only people searching for Jian Chen . There were many peak clans searching for Jian Chen as well, where a few of them were even renowned throughout the entire Saints’ World .
These people did not search for Jian Chen for the Solitary Sword Ancestor or the Azure Peng King’s rewards . They only wanted to kill him .
After all, Jian Chen had killed quite a few supreme Godkings in the Neptunean Divine Palace . There were even more supreme Godkings who had not died to his hands directly but whose deaths were caused by him . He had caused around half of the Godkings’ Throne to empty out .
Quite a few of these supreme Godkings were the futures of these peak clans . They had been nurtured with endless resources . As a result, many people hated Jian Chen dearly in the Saints’ World .
Still in seclusion, Jian Chen had no idea he had become a famed figure that shook up the Saints’ World . Currently, he was devoting all his efforts to breaking through to the thirteenth layer of the Chaotic Body .
Very soon, he used up all the heavenly resources that could increase cultivation . Only recovery heavenly resources were left . Not a single high grade or supreme grade divine crystal remained either, having all been refined into strands of Chaotic Force .
Now, the only resources he had left from the Neptunean Divine Palace were one thousand five-colored divine crystals and the tens of million fire divine crystals .
Jian Chen was unable to resist his desire for strength now that he neared a breakthrough . As a result, he ignored the wastefulness and took out a large number of fire divine crystals without any hesitation to cultivate .
His Chaotic Body could refine all the energy in the world . As a result, even though the fire divine crystals were filled with pure fire-attributed energy, it was not too different from the supreme grade divine crystals .
The only difference was that the energy within the fire divine crystals was two or three times purer than supreme quality divine crystals .
Time passed silently . After absorbing over ten million fire divine crystals in who knew how long, Jian Chen’s body shook loudly . The chaotic neidan in his dantian had finally shattered .
Jian Chen was experienced with the process that followed . In just a few days, his Chaotic Force and Chaotic Body completely changed . The fist-sized chaotic neidan had shrunken back to the size of a soybean, but the Chaotic Force within it was several times more powerful than before .
He had formally reached the thirteenth layer of the Chaotic Body, having reached Major Achievement!
Even in the Immortals’ World, only a handful of people had a Chaotic Body at Major Achievement .
“I never thought that the amount of resources exhausted to reach the thirteenth layer would be so terrifying . ” Jian Chen opened his eyes . There was no longer the joy from breaking through on his face anymore . He soon frowned instead .
The amount of resources he exhausted for this breakthrough had completely surpassed his expectations . However, for each layer of the Chaotic Body, the resources required would be several times or even over a dozen times more than the last . He could not help but worry about the resources he needed in the future .
“Sigh, whatever,” Jian Chen exhaled gently . He dismissed his thoughts before leaving his room .
Kai Ya and Xu Ran’s formations were tightly sealed, so Jian Chen did not disturb him . Instead, he left the inn alone to investigate some things outside .
On the wide, bustling streets outside, Jian Chen could hear people discuss about him everywhere while his wanted posters were stuck everywhere . It caused many people to slow down and take a look .
“The Azure Peng King has actually placed a bounty on my head as well,” Jian Chen frowned . He had already learnt about Mo Cheng’s death from everyone’s discussions, but Mo Cheng’s death actually had nothing to do with him . He only had been in conflict with Cang Ying at most . He did not understand why the Azure Peng King had placed a bounty on him .
“Whether it’s the Azure Peng King or the Solitary Sword Ancestor, they’re both famed experts of the Saints’ World . They have terrifying techniques . Although the Saints’ World is vast, it shouldn’t be anything difficult for them to find a puny Godking . All they need to do is forecast my location . It made sense that they could not find me when I was in the concealing formation before, but I’ve already left it now . Just the time I spent travelling through outer space has amounted to several years . Coupled with the time I spent in seclusion, they should have been able to locate me long ago if they were really searching for me, but they’ve never come . Instead, they’ve set a bounty for me across the Saints’ World, mobilising the power of all the cultivators to find me . ”
“Seeing how they’re paying such a hefty price to mobilise everyone, there’s only one explanation, and that’s the great abilities of the Azure Peng King and the Solitary Sword Ancestor cannot forecast where I am,” Jian Chen thought and instead felt relieved .
At the same time, there was a store that especially sold heavenly resources near Jian Chen . A slender woman stood at the counter .
Logically speaking, the woman should have possessed impressive beauty from her figure, but her face just happened to be extremely ugly . It was covered with vicious scars that crisscrossed one another .
“Shopkeeper, please have a look at my heavenly resource and tell me how many divine crystals I can exchange it for,” the woman took out a crudely-crafted wooden box from her Space Ring and opened it hesitantly .
Immediately, an intoxicating fragrance poured out . Just a single whiff of it was enough for people to focus their minds .
A violet peach lay within the crudely-crafted box .
“This is a heavenly resource that can increase the cultivation of people by five hundred years . Moreover, its effects are mellow and leave no side-effects . Even if mortals ingest them, it will cause them no harm . Shopkeeper, how much do you think it’s worth?” The woman asked rather uneasily . Even though she could tell that the peach was extraordinary, its grade was just far too low .
The moment the woman opened the wooden box, Jian Chen who was only a few kilometres away immediately shuddered . He looked ahead as his eyes shone . He said in surprise, “This is the presence of Xuanhuang Qi…”
In the next moment, Jian Chen vanished . Like a bolt of lightning, he crossed the distance as quickly as he could and arrived before the woman silently .
“What a peculiar presence…” The shopkeeper was an old man who seemed to be in his seventies . He studied the peach closely as he showed surprise . He secretly estimated its value .
Bang!
At this moment, Jian Chen took action with lightning speed, slamming shut the wooden box in the woman’s hand to stop the presence from leaking out any further . The wooden box also ended up in Jian Chen’s hand .
“W- what are you doing? Are you trying to steal from me?” The woman stared at Jian Chen who had suddenly appeared beside her in surprise and fear . She actually failed to react when Jian Chen took the wooden box from her .
This meant that the unfamiliar man with an ordinary appearance possessed a cultivation far greater than hers .
“Dear customer, the item in your hand was brought here by this lady to be sold . You’ve stolen it without this lady’s permission, so you’ve broken a rule of the imperial capital,” the shopkeeper looked at Jian Chen furiously as he growled .
