Chapter 2661: The Lord’s Death


    “<i>With this speed, it probably won’t take long to cross the Saints’ World, and you’ll be able to go to the forty-nine great nes and eighty-ones as you wish. There’s no need to waste five-colored divine crystals on teleportation formations.</i>”


    Envy and anticipation appeared in Jian Chen’s eyes as he looked at the rapidly changing stars in the surroundings.


    When he wanted to cross nes in the past, the great price took quite a toll on him, yet the Heartless Child was currently crossing nes like he was just ying around.


    Moreover, he was not just crossing nes right now. He was about to cross worlds!


    “<i>I wonder if I can ever attain something like this in my life,</i>” thought Jian Chen before sighing. He cultivated the Chaotic Body. This extremely unpopr cultivation method had an issue ever since its creation. No one had been able to ovee it.


    No one had ever cultivated the Chaotic Body to Great Perfection.


    ording to the sword spirits, Great Perfection of the Chaotic Body was equivalent to the Immortal Exalts of the Immortals’ World, or the Grand Primes of the Saints’ World.


    “Let alone that, even if I can actually reach Great Perfection, it’s still nowhere near senior’s level of cultivation.” Jian Chen lowered his head and nced at the short Heartless Child beside him. Despite the child-like figure, Jian Chen found him insurmountable.


    He was an existence that Jian Chen could only look up to.


    As Jian Chen and the Heartless Child made their way to the ruins of the Spirits’ World, a tablet made from dark green jade sat quietly on an altar within the luxurious divine hall atop Venerable Mountain on Wandou.


    Around the altar was a swathe of shrunkennd. Mountains and rivers intersected on thend. The features were extremely detailed, just like a living world that had been ced there after being shrunken countless times.


    If someone familiar with Wandou saw thisnd, they would definitely recognise it to be Wandou with a single nce. All the mountains, rivers, and ins aligned with the ones on Wandou.


    Thend was basically a shrunken Wandou spread out into a small map.


    Venerable Mountain stood at the centre of it all.


    The jade tablet just happened to be ced above Venerable Mountain.


    In such a position, the tablet seemed like it stood above the entire, like a supreme existence.


    Crack!


    Suddenly, a strange sound rang out in the quiet room. A tiny crack had suddenly appeared on the jade tablet. Its appearance seemed to lead to a chain reaction, where the crack spread in all directions. Within a few seconds, it had covered the entire tablet.


    In the next moment, the damaged jade tablet finally crumbledpletely, falling down as countless fragments.


    The shattering of the jade tablet seemed to attract the attention of someone outside. The door opened, and a Godking attendant walked in, looking around in suspicion.


    However, when he saw the shattered jade tablet, he waspletely stunned.


    Afterwards, as if he refused to believe his eyes, he rubbed them as hard as he could and looked again.


    He immediately became sheet-white with that. He became incredulous. However, as if he still refused to believe what he saw, he rubbed his eyes and looked again.


    Now, he seemed to be forced to ept this frightening sight. He immediately felt a chill run down his spine and spread through his body, causing him to feel cold all over. His eyes were filled with fear as his legs trembled. He struggled a little to remain on his feet. Clearly, he was greatly frightened.


    In the end, he let out a sorrowful wail before running outside like a madman. He called out in a panic, “Oh no! Oh no! Something has happened! Something has happened! The lord is dead! He is dead...”


    The five words, ‘the lord is dead’, seemed to possess infinite power. Everyone in the divine hall heard it clearly, and they all stiffened. Disbelief and shock filled their faces.


    The news swept through the divine hall like a storm, reaching every corner very soon. Afterwards, figures constantly flickered about in the room with the jade tablet. Experts with powerful presences all gathered there.


    They all stared at the shattered jade tablet as their faces became extremely ugly. Their expressions were warped with deep fright and disbelief.


    These experts all belonged to the lord of Wandou. As the lord of a, the supreme ruler of a great, it was impossible for a lord to be alone.


    “The soul tablet has shattered. T- that means the lord is dead...”


    “Impossible. The lord is the Blue Sky Venerable. The Blue Sky Venerable is a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. How did he die...”


    “It’s impossible for the Blue Sky Venerable to die. With the venerable’s strength, there aren’t many people who can kill him in the Saints’ World at all...”


    “Something must’ve happened to the soul tablet...”


    ......


    ...


    The experts discussed with trembling voices. They were filled with fear and a refusal to ept this.


    The death of the Blue Sky Venerable spread across the entire very soon. The various peak organisations and experts were all astounded by the news.


    After all, as the lord of Wandou, the Blue Sky Venerable was obviously the strongest on the. With his cultivation as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, he stood supreme.


    Yet, even someone as powerful as him had died. This immediately made many organisations on the be stricken with fear and filled with worry. They had no idea why the lord had died and whether he had offended someone outstanding. They were worried that they would be drawn into the matter.


    Of course, many peak organisations rejoiced as well. The death of the Blue Sky Venerable meant that the position of lord was now empty. Was this not an opportunity for them?


    Many peak organisations secretly held emergency meetings on Wandou. Their ancestors who spent most of their time cultivating all emerged from seclusion, and their impressive members all began to return from their journeys.


    During this time, people began to move secretly on the Wandou that had enjoyed several years of peace. The various cultivators on the had noticed the sensitivity of the situation as well. They could feel a storm brewing.


    ......


    ...


    On the Nine Brilliance Mountain on the Nine Brilliance ne, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord sat within a secret room. The room was extremely gloomy, but it was filled with specks of twinkling light, providing a tiny amount of radiance for the dark room.


    There were many specks of light, innumerable and densely-packed. They filled the entire secret room such that the secret room seemed like the shrunken cosmos.


    This was the Nine Brilliance Star Lord’s way, the Way of Stars.


    The starlight in the room had been condensed from his way. It contained endless profound truths of the world.
