Chaotic Sword God

With Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng's speed, it only took them a few steps before they crossed most of the southern region.

In the past, when Jian Chen wanted to venture to the other regions from the southern region, it was basically impossible for him to travel by flying alone. Let alone crossing between regions, just crossing the southern region took teleportation formations.

The southern region was far too vast. Even Godkings would take an extremely lengthy time if they wanted to cross the southern region.

But right now, the entire southern region only took him a few steps. With his current strength combined with the Laws of Space, he no longer required any teleportation formations to move across a great plane.

In a mere ten seconds, Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng arrived outside the Dong'an province in the Pingtian Empire.

However, gazing at the lofty bearing of the Dong'an province and the powerful pressure from the walls of the fortress, Jian Chen subconsciously stopped. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.

"The fortress is actually a medium quality god artifact and looking at its grade, it's actually even higher than the medium quality god artifact I wield. It's already reached the peak of medium quality god artifacts, only an inch away from high quality." Yun Wufeng's eyes rippled, feeling anything but calm inside. Even just a fortress is a medium quality god artifact. Just what kind of place is the Cloud Plane? They're so extravagant that even the seven sacred planes probably come nowhere close.

Jian Chen passed through the fortress with Yun Wufeng and returned to the Tian Yuan clan very soon.

However, when he returned to the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen was shocked once more, as he could clearly sense that the protective formations of the clan had actually become unprecedentedly powerful. From the pressure that the formations gave off faintly, it actually made him feel extremely oppressed.

Although he was unable to tell exactly how powerful the formations were given his current realm of cultivation, he could vaguely feel that it was no weaker than the Heavenly Crane clan's protective formations.

Jian Chen was filled with doubts. Along the way, not only had he discovered overwhelming changes to the southern region, with many teleportation formations appearing from thin air, but even the Tian Yuan clan had become different compared to before.

Let alone the other changes, just the protective formations around the Tian Yuan clan had left him stunned for a very long time.

At this moment, a powerful ripple of energy appeared in the Tian Yuan clan. A colossal flower rose up from the ground in the forbidden grounds of the Tian Yuan clan. Its roots were firmly embedded in the ground as its entire body changed rapidly. In a single instant, it had turned into a colossal flower several tens of thousand meters across, stretching over the Tian Yuan clan like a huge umbrella. It shrouded most of the clan.

It was the Immortal Devouring Orchid!

"It's the sacred flower. The sacred flower has actually appeared by itself."

"It's said that this sacred flower was personally nurtured by the past clan leader of our Tian Yuan clan. It possesses an extremely special status in the clan."

......

As soon as the Immortal Devouring Orchid appeared, a ruckus rang out in the Tian Yuan clan. Everyone looked up at the huge flower and discussed among themselves in amazement.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid had clearly sensed Jian Chen's return, which made it appear. Its colossal body directly spread beyond the protective formations of the clan, appearing by Jian Chen's feet.

Jian Chen could not help but smile when he saw the Immortal Devouring Orchid, but his smile soon stiffened. He stared at the Immortal Devouring Orchid blankly, his eyes filled with surprise.

He had realised with a single glance that the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already broken through to Chaotic Prime. It had stopped at the First Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime.

When he left the Tian Yuan clan previously, the Immortal Devouring Orchid was only equivalent to a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Now that he had returned from the Ice Pole Plane, it had actually become a Chaotic Prime all of a sudden. It grew so quickly that it left Jian Chen amazed.

"Hahaha, brother, you've finally returned!" Ming Dong flew out of the clan with Yun Xiaoyan, letting out a great laugh. He was in an extremely joyous mood.

Soon afterwards, Xi Yu, Qing Yixuan, and his other acquaintances all appeared with wide smiles, welcoming Jian Chen back to the clan.

They had a small conversation before all vanishing back into the clan. Later in the evening, Xi Yu ordered people to prepare a great feast to welcome Jian Chen back.

Every single core member of the Tian Yuan clan was present at the banquet. Even the current emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng, had personally rushed back from the imperial palace.

Xu Ran had been invited over by Jian Chen as well. Afterwards, he introduced Yun Wufeng to everyone and announced that he would be a great elder of the Tian Yuan clan, possessing the same status as Xu Ran.

After learning about Yun Wufeng's relationship with fairy Hao Yue, the members of the upper echelon from the Saints' World did not have any particular reaction. However, the people from the Tian Yuan Continent, including Ming Dong, were all surprised and delighted.

"Y- you're all little Yue'er's acquaintance. C-could you tell me a little about what little Yue'er went through in the lower world?" Yun Wufeng's eyes reddened slightly. After learning about the relationship that these people had with fairy Hao Yue, he immediately developed a sense of closeness to them.

Everyone chimed in one after another, telling him all about the legendary stories involving fairy Hao Yue in the lower world. In particular, when Yun Wufeng learnt that fairy Hao Yue was unable to reach the Origin realm because of the Ice Goddess's seal, which made her body rot away in the end and forced her to live as a soul for several tens of thousand years, his face immediately became strewn with tears out of sorrow.

"Little Yue'er, you've suffered…" Yun Wufeng was extremely saddened.

"Oh right, Jian Chen, how is fairy Hao Yue right now? Have you found her?" Ming Dong suddenly asked.

Jian Chen shook his head with a gentle sigh, giving no reply.

Soon afterwards, everyone spoke about everything. They talked about the recent developments of the Tian Yuan clan, as well as the recent changes to the southern region.

Jian Chen finally learnt about where all the teleportation formations in the southern region had come from too.

"The people from the several dozen peak organisations across the Saints' World really were extremely enthusiastic. Every single one of them was responsible for building an interplanar teleportation formation in the southern region, as well as countless other large-scale and medium-scale teleportation formations. Though, you have nothing to worry about, Jian Chen. I'm also aware that it takes a tremendous amount of resources to use and maintain these teleportation formations. The organisations that built the formations will be shouldering all of the costs. They'll send someone to the Cloud Plane once every decade and inspect and replenish every single teleportation formation."

"Anyway, our Tian Yuan clan doesn't have to do anything to maintain the teleportation formations in the southern region. We only need to sit and enjoy ourselves."

"Apart from that, the organisations have left our Tian Yuan clan with many resources. The flower you raised benefited quite a lot from it," Ming Dong said in a jolly mood, as well as disdain and contempt for those organisations.
