Chapter 4002: The Three Old Servants (One)
Chapter 4002: The Three Old Servants (One)
It was not just the Space-splitting Venerable. Even the three old servants who had followed Daowei Chengqing for all these years were shocked. They gazed at the Reverent Observance Heaven nearby in disbelief.
They had crossed more than half of the Immortals’ World and precisely arrived at their destination. They could not achieve such a feat alone.
“What’re you staring at me for? I asked you, where is he?” Daowei Chengqing’s face sank slightly. He noticed the traces of fighting here. The violent storms of energy continued to sweep through outer space. He had already developed an ill feeling.
“It’s the crown prince Daowei Chengqing. I am the Yellow Slope Master from the Daoist Sect of Thousand Leaves. Greetings to your majesty…”
“I didn’t think that someone as lofty and impressive as the crown prince would also be drawn here. I come from the Sword Sect of Lightning Python. I am known as the Azure Lightning Master. Greetings to your majesty…”
At this moment, the Immortal Exalts in outer space all gathered over. All of them were friendly, clasping their fists towards Daowei Chengqing with smiles. When they glanced past the three old servants behind Daowei Chengqing, there was a great sense of wariness about them.
They could sense that the presence of the three old servants was tremendous like an abyss and boundless. They were more terrifying than any of the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts they had met before.
They were truly unfathomable!
Daowei Chengqing completely ignored the Immortal Exalts around him. He stared straight at the Space-splitting Venerable, which left the surrounding Immortal Exalts quite awkward. However, none of them dared to become displeased over this.
Any one of his servants could annihilate them all. With such a great difference present, they did not dare to show any attitude towards Daowei Chengqing.
Under Daowei Chengqing’s gaze, the Space-splitting Venerable’s forehead became covered with a thin layer of sweat. Although he was only facing a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, he felt extremely uneasy despite already being a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. He was unsettled.
That was because the person before him was a living legend of the Immortals’ World. He had single-handedly created a glorious myth.
The Space-splitting Venerable gulped with difficulty and said reluctantly, “Your majesty, Yang Yutian suddenly appeared and collected the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with lightning speed. I went to stop him, but I was heavily injured by the Divine Formation of the Heavens in his possession, which was why I could not contact your majesty in time.”
Daowei Chengqing’s face sank slightly. “He’s only an Immortal Emperor, yet he slipped away under your watch? This isn’t the Skyscraping World. Your powers aren’t restricted here, yet you couldn’t even keep your eye on an Immortal Emperor?”
“I have been useless. I have let down your majesty’s expectations.” The Space-splitting Venerable did not put on the airs of an expert at all. He even grovelled a little bit in front of Daowei Chengqing.
Daowei Chengqing was rather annoyed. From the energy storm that still lingered in the surroundings, he knew that the Space-splitting Venerable was bending the truth. The reality was slightly different from what he was saying.
“Your majesty, don’t tell me you’re also interested in the sovereign god artifact on Yang Yutian?” asked a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt nearby with a clasped fist.
These words made Daowei Chengqing furrow his brows. He was interested in a sovereign god artifact on Jian Chen, but what he was interested in was different from everyone else.
At this moment, Daowei Chengqing seemed to sense something. His indifferent gaze immediately sharpened, suddenly gazing into the depths of the sea of stars.
His gaze landed on a regular planet that was extremely far away from the Reverent Observance Heaven. A burly, middle-aged man stood there, also gazing at the Reverent Observance Heaven in the distance.
From so far away, the Reverent Observance Heaven had already become the size of a speck of dust.
“He can detect my existence even from so far away. Sure enough, this Daowei Chengqing is not simple.” A hint of surprise appeared in the middle-aged man’s eyes. The way he looked at Daowei Chengqing changed in a subtle manner.
“However, Jian Chen’s performance has taken me by surprise slightly. Originally, I thought he would need me to interfere in order to escape, yet he managed to escape all by himself. No one should be able to find him for a while as long as he doesn’t proactively expose himself.”
“Though, he sure is brash. For the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, he’s actually taken on such a great risk…”
The middle-aged man muttered to himself before slowly turning around. Countless stars seemed to flash around him. In the next moment, he suddenly vanished, having left instantly.
After he had left, Daowei Chengqing also withdrew his gaze outside the Reverent Observance Heaven. He sighed gently. “I never thought that an existence on the level of heavenly emperors would be hiding here. They even seemed to be secretly protecting Jian Chen. Whatever, even if Jian Chen failed to escape from your hands, you would have never been able to stop a heavenly emperor.”
Daowei Chengqing turned his gaze and stared off in the direction of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He sighed and said, “The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens may have declined, but some of its residual might remains…”
After saying that, Daowei Chengqing turned around and left with the three servants. He did not stay for a moment longer.
In outer space, the three servants flew back to the Waymight clan with Daowei Chengqing at great speed. They felt rather perplexed as they gazed at Daowei Chengqing. After all, he had travelled to the Reverent Observance Heaven instantly and only remained for a few seconds before returning to the clan.
“Master, is that junior called Jian Chen really that important in your eyes? He’s actually enough for you to specially make your way to the Reverent Observance Heaven.” One of the servants could not help but ask this. They were all very clear that Daowei Chengqing must have paid a price that they were unaware of in order to use the secret technique that allowed him to cross more than half of the Immortals’ World instantly.
That was because to a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, this ability should have been completely impossible.
“That junior is facing some poor circumstances right now. Far too many people in the Immortals’ World are searching for him. If you really have taken a liking to this person, why don’t we let out the news, so he can proactively join master? With your current level of prestige and influence, there are countless Immortal Exalts in the Immortals’ World who want to seek refuge under you, let alone a mere Immortal Emperor like Jian Chen…”
“Yeah. As long as he has your protection, just who in the Immortals’ World will still have the courage to touch him? Even the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor will have to reconsider the consequences…”
The two other servants spoke up as well. When they mentioned heavenly emperors, they did not show the wariness towards them that these experts usually received. They spoke with ease.
“Any prodigy has a sense of pride. Getting him to join me is not as easy as you might think.” Daowei Chengqing smiled.
At this moment, the presence of one of the servants became chaotic. His powerful presence erupted from his body uncontrollably, producing a violent tide of energy in outer space.
Immediately, the resplendent galaxies dimmed, and the stars all seemed to shake.
Despite being at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, his presence was no weaker than the Eighth Heavenly Layer. As a matter of fact, he even surpassed most Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
Since he had lost control of his presence, the other two servants urgently used their powers to protect Daowei Chengqing. Afterwards, one of them took Daowei Chengqing into the distance with a flash.
However, when they looked at the servant who had lost control, the two other servants only showed a hint of envy. There was no worry at all. Instead, they were happy for him.
Gradually, rings after rings of profound patterns rose up from the body of the servant who lost control. They contained the deepest secrets of the universe and were incomprehensible.
The patterns of ways rapidly spread across the old servant’s body, covering him very quickly. The servant’s presence also rapidly skyrocketed, showing signs of breaching the Seventh Heavenly Layer and reaching the eighth.
“Master, please grant the technique to me!” Suddenly, the servant dropped down onto one knee towards Daowei Chengqing. There was a hint of madness within his respect.
Daowei Chengqing narrowed his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows firmly.
