Chapter 3644: Catastrophic Danger
“It’s the Grand Exalts. The Grand Exalts have returned from the chaotic sea…”

“They’ve been gone for all these years. Who knows what has happened in the chaotic sea such that all of our Grand Exalts had to be mobilised.”

“The auras of the Waymight Grand Exalt and the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound are a little disorderly. Don’t tell me they’re both injured?”

“They must have encountered the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World. A few years ago, senior Samsaric left with the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt’s four divine swords.”

……

…

All of the peak experts located in the Immortals’ World could roughly tell the situations of the two Grand Exalts from the presence they gave off unintentionally, which left them shocked.

In the Observance Heaven City, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets opened his eyes. Currently, he sat among the clouds in the miniature world of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. The ways flowed through his eyes as he gazed in the direction of the Grand Sovereign Heaven. It seemed like he could see through space. Very soon, he furrowed his brows and said sternly, “Only the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound and the Waymight Grand Exalt returned. Where is the Samsaric Grand Exalt?”

“They left with three Grand Exalts, yet only two have returned in the end…”

The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets seemed to realise something. His expression that never changed even if the world collapsed around him actually became extremely stern at that moment. The composure he had consolidated over millions of years was also violently swayed.

In the next moment, the pavilion master suddenly vanished. With just a thought, he left the Reverent Observance Heaven and appeared in the space several billion kilometers away. Afterwards, he vanished again with a flash, immediately crossing countless galaxies as if he was making his way towards the end of the universe.

Although he had not reached the level of Grand Exalts that allowed them to appear anywhere in the world on a whim, his speed was still extremely startling.

The time that the pavilion master was gone for was extremely short. In under a day, he returned to the Observance Heaven City and appeared in the miniature world again.

However, he was extremely solemn.

“Send me to the sacred land. I want to see Jian Chen!” the pavilion master said to the space there.

In the next moment, a power of the Observance Heaven City whisked over, forming a gate before the pavilion master.

The pavilion master stepped through. Immediately, he appeared on the eighth floor of the sacred land, arriving before Jian Chen.

Even the five commanders of the Observance Heaven City had to follow the proper procedure to enter the sacred land. They had to enter through the main entrance and then climb up each floor one by one.

However, the pavilion master resided in the miniature world, which could directly take him to any location within the sacred land. Even the city lord did not have such access.

Currently, Jian Chen was powering the jade bottle on the eighth floor of the sacred land. Suddenly, his expression changed, looking at the spatial gate that appeared before him silently. His eyes narrowed; he wanted to stow the jade bottle away subconsciously.

However, when he saw the pavilion master, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Even I have some difficulty in seeing through this mask of yours. With this thing hiding you, it sure leaves me worrying much less.” The pavilion master appeared before Jian Chen. He studied Jian Chen before letting out a sigh of amazement.

Jian Chen subconsciously glanced at Ye Qingyun who was breaking through nearby and the Immortal Emperor’s soul that was imprisoned by the Laws of Space.

“Don’t worry, no one knows about what’s happening here.” The pavilion master could tell what Jian Chen was worried about, so he reassured him calmly.

Jian Chen eased up and clasped his fist at the pavilion master, demonstrating his respect for his seniority.

The pavilion master stared at Jian Chen sternly and said with a deeper voice, “Jian Chen, I’ve proactively come to you this time to tell you something extremely important. The Samsaric Immortal Exalt who’s been protecting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens this entire time is heavily injured. He is missing in the chaotic sea.”

“What? The Samsaric Immortal Exalt is missing?” Jian Chen was startled. His expression immediately became extremely ugly.

How could a mighty Grand Exalt go missing?

To say a Grand Exalt was missing clearly demonstrated the severity of the situation. There was even a chance for him to die.

“Senior Samsaric is missing? Why did this happen?” For a moment, Jian Chen was uneasy. He could not help but recall the kindness and guidance that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had shown him inside the Neptunean Divine Palace.

At that time, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had merged a wisp of his soul with him to assist his comprehension of the ways, allowing Jian Chen to stand in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt to personally witness and experience a battle at the peak.

Not only did the Samsaric Immortal Exalt guide him in his cultivation with a lesson, but he had also granted protection to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

If the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had not spoken up and deterred the many peak organisations, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens probably would have ceased to exist already.

“The three Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World entered the chaotic sea, but only two returned in the end. The Samsaric Immortal Exalt… sigh, Jian Chen, news of this will spread through the upper echelons of the Immortals’ World very soon. Without the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s deterrence, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will be in danger. You better make preparations for this early.” The pavilion master sighed. “The entire Immortals’ World owes a debt to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. In particular, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had made significant contributions during the war with the Saints’ World, so I also hope that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens can continue existing in the Immortals’ World.”

“However, the doctrine of our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is to never partake in the conflict of any organisations. If you take our strength into account as well, there’s nothing that we can do about the difficulties that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens faces. All I can do is provide you with some information prematurely.” The pavilion master sighed gently. He wanted to help, but he was incapable of providing any more.

The news that the pavilion master had brought immediately put Jian Chen in a gloomy mood. Without the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s deterrence, how was the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens supposed to fend off the enemies lurking in the shadows?

The Immortal Feather sect, the Sacred Beast clan, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Wind clan…

And that was not even all of them, yet among the four known organisations, even the weakest of them, the Wind clan, could bring catastrophe to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had a significant grievance with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as well. During the golden period of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, they had enslaved many experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants as mounts.

Most importantly, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was very close to the Sword Region of Violet Heavens.

Even the weakest organisation was well beyond anything they could handle, let alone the courts of heaven.

Apart from these known enemies, who knew how many more unknown enemies were lurking in the shadows.

“Pavilion master, don’t tell me senior Samsaric… has really met a bad end?” Jian Chen asked with the last bit of hope in his eyes, still reluctant to believe what had happened. He was extremely concerned about the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s circumstances.

The pavilion master was gloomy as well. “Just recently, I visited the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound. The Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound said that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt probably won’t be returning because the Saints’ World is just too powerful. In particular, when it comes to individual battles, no one among the current six worlds is the Anatta Grand Exalt’s opponent anymore. The newly-broken through Grand Exalt’s defences appear to be unrivalled among the six worlds as well.”

“Even when our Immortals’ World works with the Demons’ World, we struggle to defeat the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World. Now, the Grand Exalts from both worlds have retreated. Only the Samsaric Immortal Exalt is left missing in the chaotic sea alone. The experts of the Saints’ World obviously won’t let this terrific opportunity to cripple our Immortals’ World slip by.”

“As a result, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt is in danger…”

Jian Chen’s heart immediately sank. He could already tell from what the pavilion master had said that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt probably could not be saved anymore.

After all, the Grand Exalts from the Immortals’ World and the Demons’ World had both returned in defeat.

And through his conversation with the pavilion master, he could also tell that the Grand Exalts of the two worlds had already given up on entering the chaotic sea to rescue him.
