Chapter 3213: Opening the Altar (One)

Jian Chen looked at Jin Hong doubtfully. “What is it?”

Jin Hong sighed again and again. He was filled with a sense of helplessness. He said in a troubled manner, “Our ancestor has already come to an agreement with the various organisations of the Saints’ World. The condition is that I cannot leave the Darkstar World by myself, or our Dire Wolf clan will be burdened with a significant loss. As a result, my ancestor has specially instructed me to have you remove me from the Darkstar World by force.”

Jian Chen immediately furrowed his brows in response. His eyes shone as if he had realised something. He became slightly displeased. “So the ancestor of your Dire Wolf clan is using me?”

“If I’ve guessed correctly, if I actually remove you from the Darkstar World by force, that’ll be equivalent to shifting all the hostility that the Dire Wolf clan should have faced onto me. I’ll potentially become an enemy to everyone.”

Jin Hong felt very guilty, like he was unable to bring himself to face Jian Chen. He took out a jade slip from his Space Ring before passing it over.

“Jian Chen, the message in here was left by the ancestor for you.”

Jian Chen accepted the jade slip and immediately sent the senses of his soul inside. A message from the ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan directly rang out in his head.

“Jian Chen, by the time you are hearing this, you must have learnt a little about the situation from Jin Hong already. That’s correct, our Dire Wolf clan has indeed formed a series of agreements with the organisations of the Saints’ World. Once Jin Hong leaves the Darkstar World by himself, then we’ll be breaking our end of the deal. We’ll have to pay an extremely heavy price for that.”

“As a result, Jin Hong must not leave the Darkstar World by himself. However, if you forcefully remove him, that’s not leaving by himself, so it won’t count as breaking the agreement.”

“I hope you can restrain Jin Hong and forcefully bring him out when Jin Hong must leave the Darkstar World. In return, our Dire Wolf clan will give you an imprint of the Way of the Sword left behind by an expert who comprehended the Way of the Sword as thanks.”

“The imprint of ways was left behind by a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. Our Dire Wolf clan discovered it unintentionally when we searched through a dwelling. The expert has already been dead for many years, so much of the aura of ways in the imprint has leaked away with the passage of time, but it should still be of great help to you right now.”

“When you emerge from the Darkstar World, I will give this imprint of the Way of the Sword to you.”

......

“An imprint of the Way of the Sword left behind by a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, is it?” Jian Chen clutched the jade slip as his eyes shone, clearly weighing the costs and benefits.

Gradually, a smile appeared on his face. “Every single step forward that I take with my Way of the Sword from here on out will only be more difficult.The imprint of the Way of the Sword from a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime should be quite helpful.”

“I just wonder how much aura of ways remains in the imprint.”

The feeling of discontent that had appeared moments prior had already vanished completely. He was quite tempted by the Dire Wolf clan’s remuneration.

Afterwards, Jin Hong remained near the tunnel between the two worlds to continue cultivating. His range of activity had been severely restricted. He could enter and leave the Two World Mountains freely, but he could not set foot in the territory of the Darkstar World.

Meanwhile, the peak organisations outside would send in some resources every now and then, even though the amount of God Tier heavenly resources each organisation could produce was extremely limited.

However, it still formed a sizeable amount. Each organisation only needed to offer up one or two heavenly resources, and the amount would become startling once several dozen peak organisations poured everything together.

Jian Chen returned to the territory of the Darkstar race. He remained on the same mountain to refine high grade Godking pills. This would let him nurture even more Godkings for the Darkstar race in preparation for opening the altar.

Submerged in alchemy, Jian Chen completely lost track of time. Before he knew it, another century and a half had passed.

“I’ve already refined over fifty five thousand high grade Godking pills for the Darkstar race now. This should be enough,” Jian Chen murmured softly after stowing away the high grade Godking pills he had just refined. He glanced at the five thousand or so high grade Godking pills in his Space Ring, and after a slight moment of hesitation, he did not continue. Instead, he stowed away his cauldron and left there.

With just a casual step, Jian Chen crossed a great distance and directly appeared in the Darkstar Divine Hall.

The Darkstar Emperor was currently seated on the throne in a state of cultivation. Jian Chen did not hide his presence, so the Darkstar Emperor sensed him as soon as he arrived. The Darkstar Emperor opened his eyes slowly.

Jian Chen passed all five thousand high grade Godking pills to the Darkstar Emperor and said, “That’s over fifty thousand high grade Godking pills in total. That should be sufficient.”

The Darkstar Emperor accepted the jade bottle and checked the Godking pills inside. After a short moment of thought, he said slowly, “It should be enough. Once these high grade Godking pills have all produced Godkings, we should be able to prepare for opening the altar.”

“Do you need to hunt any Life-devouring Beasts to open the altar this time? And the Virtuous Sage of Heaven, will he... also appear?” Jian Chen asked. As soon as he mentioned the Virtuous Sage of Heaven, his gaze changed slightly.

“We’re only opening the altar this time, not holding the great ceremony, so it’s much simpler. We only need the thirty-six major cities to recover their strength. We don’t need to prepare any Life-devouring Beasts.”

“As for the Virtuous Sage of Heaven-” the Darkstar Emperor paused. His gaze became rather sunken, and he said slowly, “The Virtuous Sage of Heaven has always been elusive. Under ordinary circumstances, he only appears when something major happens to us.”

“As a result, he won’t be appearing when I open the altar and retrieve the essence blood of our ancestors.”

With that, the Darkstar Emperor immediately called in an attendant. He passed the jade bottle with the five thousand high grade Godking pills to him and said, “Distribute these Godking pills according to the ordering on the list.”

The attendant accepted the order politely and backed away with the jade bottle carefully.

Afterwards, the Darkstar Emperor looked at Jian Chen and said, “Once this final group becomes Godkings, the empty cities will hold an elimination match to choose the thirty-six lords and the one hundred and eight kings.”

“If we want to open the altar, we need all thirty-six lords and hundred and eight kings in all thirty-six major cities without a single one missing. We can begin once all the major cities have confirmed their thirty-six lords and hundred and eight kings.”

Jian Chen became eager when he heard that. There was also some excitement that he struggled to hide.

He had comprehended the Way of Alchemy in the Heavenly Crane clan with ancestor Lan and gone to the Xuanhuang Microcosm to retrieve Xuanhuang spiritual fluid after so much effort. Then he had remained in the Darkstar race for several centuries, refining high grade Godking pills night and day. All of it was for the sake of this day.

Now, the day that he had been looking forward to the entire time was finally about to arrive.
