Vice-leader Xuan Zhan silently appeared on the top floor of the sacred hall, outside the Tower of Radiance . He stood there with his hands behind his back with a steady presence . He stared at the entrance of the Tower of Radiance deeply .
“There are only five people who have not been investigated on the entire Desolate Plane now . I never thought Chang Yang would be one of them . Is he really Jian Chen in disguise?”
“Jian Chen is a fighter who possesses strength no less than the supreme Godkings on the Godkings’ Throne . If Chang Yang really is Jian Chen in disguise, he’s both a fighter and a Radiant Saint Master . That means…”
Xuan Zhan thought to himself . All the information he knew about Chang Yang flashed through his head quickly . Afterwards, with a flip of his hand, the bottle that contained a droplet of Xuan Ming’s blood and the jade slip that recorded a message from Xuan Ming appeared .
Xuan Zhan’s gaze gradually deepened as he looked at the two items in his hands .
…
The space within the mountain range in the Tower of Radiance continued to distort . Powerful ripples of energy shook up the surroundings . The entrance to the miniature world still had not been opened completely .
Now, more and more Hallowed Saint Masters had gathered in the mountain range . Many of them received the news and hurried over as quickly as they could .
At least half of the Radiant Godkings in the Tower of Radiance were present now .
There were even more people below Radiant Godking . There were figures as far as the eye could see around the mountains . They either stood on the mountains or hovered in the air, all paying attention to the bottom of the valley .
At this moment, an even more powerful energy seemed to appear out of thin air . It suddenly descended with a tremendous, churning pressure, completely pouring into the bottom of the valley .
With the support of this energy, the gateway seemed to be ripped open by a pair of invisible hands . It immediately became wide open .
Immediately, an idyllic, heaven-like world of beauty appeared on the other side of the gateway . It was exposed before everyone without any disguise at all .
At that moment, the eyes of all the Hallowed Saint Masters gathered there narrowed . They studied the miniature world with shining eyes, but they all did nothing as if they were afraid of entering it .
There had never been records of another miniature world hidden within the sacred pavilion throughout the history of the Radiant Saint Hall, so no one knew anything about it . As a result, they did not dare to act recklessly before confirming the place was safe . They were afraid it was a land filled with danger, which would doom them if they set foot inside .
However, there was one exception . Just as all the Radiant Godkings were hesitating, a white finger condensed a pair of Radiant Wings and suddenly shot over like an arrow from ten kilometres away, disappearing through the gateway as a streak of white light .
“Chang Yang, what are you doing? The situation inside is unknown . You can’t go in…” Donglin Yanxue’s worried voice rang out from behind . She also condensed a pair of Radiant Wings to chase after him, but she was already too late to stop him .
“What courage . He only has a two-colored soulcore, yet he’s so bold that he dares to do something we don’t…”
“Even a weaker disciple with a mere two-colored soulcore is so fearless, so what are we, lords of peaks, waiting for? We really are getting more and more cowardly…”
“Go in . You can’t forget this is a world within the Tower of Radiance . The Tower of Radiance is a consecrated item of our Radiant Saint Hall . It’s impossible for it to cause us any harm…”
…
Like the initial collapsing domino, Jian Chen’s actions urged on everyone else . Immediately, the Radiant Godkings in the surroundings called out and flew over as well, entering the miniature world .
But that was not everyone . A small number of Radiant Godkings continued to hesitate .
At this moment, the gateway began to shrink slowly as if it could not last for too long . After Jian Chen entered the gateway, the energy maintaining it had vanished, causing it to close up slowly .
At the sight of this, all the hesitating Radiant Godkings and Hallowed Saint Masters made up their minds and charged into the miniature world in a flash .
Donglin Yanxue and her eight protectors happened to be among them .
Ten seconds later, the gate had closed . There were still many Hallowed Saint Masters who had failed to enter the miniature world in time .
The miniature world possessed beautiful mountains and clear lakes and rivers . The landscape was breathtaking . It was brimming with life as well, drastically different from the barren world outside .
In the centre of the miniature world stood an extremely tall stone stele that plunged right into the clouds . Like a pillar that held up the sky, It stood there quietly, keeping heaven and earth separate . It gave off an illuminating, holy light .
As soon as Jian Chen entered the miniature world, he was immediately attracted by the huge stele . The light in his eyes flickered as he showed excitement .
At the same time, the Hallowed Saint Masters who had entered the miniature world as well appeared one after another . They all stared at the glowing stele in the distance .
“Chang Yang, you’re far too reckless,” at this moment, Donglin Yanxue’s voice rang out from beside Jian Chen . She did not pay too much attention to the stele once she entered the miniature world . Instead, she looked for Jian Chen first and seemed like she was lecturing him .
Jian Chen looked away from the stele and at Donglin Yanxue . He frowned slightly and said, “Be careful later . Don’t travel too far away from them . It’s best if you stay with your aunty . ”
Donglin Yanxue’s heart immediately warmed up when she heard Jian Chen’s words . However, she maintained a stern expression and said, “The person who should be careful is you . You can’t forget that I already have a five-colored soulcore now, while you only have a two-colored soulcore . ”
She paused and glanced around before continuing, “There are so many Radiant Godkings here . Once a conflict starts, you’ll struggle to protect yourself with your strength . Just the shockwaves will threaten your life . Don’t travel too far away from me . Stay with me . ”
Jian Chen sighed inside from that . He glanced at Donglin Yanxue with mixed feelings and no longer said anything more aloud . Instead, he communicated with her secretly so that only she could hear him, “Donglin Yanxue, we are people who belong on separate paths in life . It’s best if you severe the relationship between us . Before, it was only a deal . Now that our deal has been completed, our relationship ends here as well . Everything will return to how it was before . Just treat it like you never knew me . ”
As if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning, Donglin Yanxue jolted after hearing that . She stared at Jian Chen in some confusion and said with a rather trembling voice, “W- w- what did you say…” At that moment, Donglin Yanxue suddenly felt a stinging pain in her heart .
“This is the best for you . You will understand very soon . ” With that, Jian Chen directly flew towards the stele in the distance .
“Master, this is the stele of ways left behind by the former master of the Tower of Radiance . His legacy imprint is suppressed beneath the stele of ways . Only by comprehending the stele and gaining its recognition can you call out the legacy . ” At this moment, the artifact spirit’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head .
The artifact spirit had expended far too much energy, making him extremely feeble . Even his voice clearly sounded weak . He would stammer as if it was extremely difficult for him to say this .
“Master, I need to recover some power . I won’t be able to help you with the following…”
With that, the artifact spirit’s voice vanished completely .
