<h4>Chapter 2986: The Demonic Castle Arrives</h4>
All Jian Chen could do was believe in ancestor Lan. Under ancestor Lan’s arrangements, he upied a courtyard alone and waited for her news.
Fallen snow covered everywhere, both inside and outside the courtyard, forming a thickyer on the ground. There were also various ornaments sculpted from transparent ice scattered in the surroundings, refracting the warm sunlight into rainbows. It was dazzling.
However, Jian Chen was in no mood to appreciate the scenery unique to the Ice Pole ne. He truly felt each day to be as long as a year during the process of waiting. For the first time in his life, he felt that time actually passed so slowly.
“<i>Shui Yun has only just been captured. Even if she has been ced under control, it’ll probably take her a while before she reveals where my sister is hiding, so the hiding ce won’t be divulged so quickly. I have to stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.</i>” Jian Chen paced around in the courtyard, leaving absolutely no traces in the snow. He was restless, constantly trying to straighten out his thoughts.
He also understood that panicking right now was useless given the circumstances.
Suddenly, Jian Chen raised his head. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce the sky like a sword, allowing him to see the vast cosmos.
He was already a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime with battle prowess on par with Chaotic Primes. His senses were extremely sharp. At that moment, he actually sensed surging demon Qi from outer space, approaching the Ice Pole ne with extremely great speed.
Boom!
A whileter, a great rumble rang across the entire ne. The surging demon Qi from outer space had directly mmed into the Ice Pole ne,nding in the distance heavily with tremendous pressure. The great rumble it had produced when itnded even took Jian Chen by surprise when he was deep within the Heavenly Crane n.
“<i>It’s the Empyrean Demon Cult!</i>” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. He was not unfamiliar with this demon Qi. Back then on the Cloud ne, he hade into contact with it more than once. It clearly belonged to the Empyrean Demon Cult.
And, he could see through the thick demon Qi that it was hiding a pitch-ck divine hall, as grand as a castle.
When he saw the demonic castle within the surging demon Qi, Jian Chen’s eyes immediately lit up.
Back then on the Delight ne, Jian Chen had once worked with the Empyrean Demon Cult to attack the greatest organization there, the Cloudsurge Empire.
Back then, the Empyrean Demon Cult had utilised a high quality god artifact demonic castle. Jian Chen could clearly see that the demonic castle back then on the Delight ne was exactly the same as the one that had just appeared on the Ice Pole ne.
“<i>The Empyrean Demon Cult has actuallye to the Ice Pole ne?</i>” For a moment, Jian Chen felt both surprised and excited.
He could vaguely sense that the region where the Empyrean Demon Cult’s divine hall hadnded was in the same direction as the Hefeng n.
“<i>Has the Empyrean Demon Cult travelled all the way here to wage war against the Hefeng n?</i>” Jian Chen guessed.
Having arrived on the Ice Pole ne in such a brazen fashion, the Empyrean Demon Cult had obviously caught the attention of all organisations on the ne. For a moment, countless senses of the soul wove together in the air above the region where the divine hall resided. All of the experts on the ne paid close attention, but none of them stood forward to interfere with the Empyrean Demon Cult’s affairs.
In the Heavenly Crane n, Jian Chen could not help but be restless. He was tempted to leave the Heavenly Crane n right and now venture to the Empyrean Demon Cult to see if he could contact Mo Tianyun.
“The Point Cloud Venerable of the Five Point sect hase to visit the Heavenly Crane n under ancestor Lan’s invitation.” But at this moment, an old voice rang out from outside.
When he heard the Point Cloud Venerable, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. He thought, “<i>The Point Cloud Venerable of the Star Brilliance ne is actually here? Don’t tell me the person that ancestor Lan invited was the Point Cloud Venerable of the Five Point sect?</i>”
“You’ve travelled quite the distance, Point Cloud Venerable. Pleasee in,” at the same time, ancestor Lan’s voice rang out from one of the three ancestral peaks. The protective formation around the Heavenly Crane n suddenly split open, and a wide path condensed from flying snow, hovering in the air.
This was a form of greeting from the Heavenly Crane n. Only those whose status had reached a certain level could enjoy treatment like that.
“<i>Come to the Soaring Snow peak immediately!</i>” Ancestor Lan’s pleasant voice also rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
Jian Chen had been waiting for this moment the entire time. He did not hesitate at all, immediately flying to the Soaring Snow peak as quickly as he could.
When he reached the Soaring Snow peak, the Point Cloud Venerable had already beaten him there, standing with ancestor Lan.
Jian Chen did not find the Point Cloud Venerable’s name unfamiliar at all. Back then on the Star Brilliance ne, Kai Ya and he were hunted down by the Elder of Mountains and Seas. They were trapped in the Elder of Mountains and Seas’ Heaven-obscuring Barrier of Flowing Water, and it was the Point Cloud Venerable who secretly took action in the end that destroyed the Elder of Mountains and Seas’ Heaven-obscuring Barrier of Flowing Water.
Afterwards, when he ventured to the Aqua ne to destroy the Gloomwater sect, it was all thanks to the Point Cloud Venerable’s secret assistance that prevented any idents from happening when he annihted the Gloomwater sect.
Otherwise, once any peak organisation greater than the Gloomwater sect interfered and tried to obstruct him, his attempt to destroy the Gloomwater sect would not have unfolded so smoothly.
However, he also understood that while the Point Cloud Venerable had assisted him in the past, the Point Cloud Venerable was also somewhat connected to Kai Ya’s death.
As a result, Jian Chen’s feelings towards an important figure like the Point Cloud Venerable remained conflicted.
After arriving on Soaing Snow peak, Jian Chen finally saw the Point Cloud Venerable. This was actually his first time seeing the Point Cloud Venerable in person. The Point Cloud Venerable seemed like a very ordinary old man. He was dressed in white robes, and he had a healthy glow about him, radiating exuberantly. Only his sombre eyes seemed to be as deep as the cosmos.
“Hmm? Ancestor Lan, may I ask who this is?”
The Point Cloud Venerable could not help but look at Jian Chen with his appearance. As he stared at Jian Chen’s unfamiliar face and sensed his unfamiliar presence, he immediately became rather puzzled.
The moment Jian Chen had appeared, his heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that he had seen this person somewhere before.
“Just a junior. There’s no need to pay any heed to him, Point Cloud Venerable. We shouldn’t dy this, so let’s head over right now.” Ancestor Lan did not introduce Jian Chen to him. She casually brushed aside the Point Cloud Venerable’s questions and said secretly to Jian Chen, “<i>The Point Cloud Venerable grasps the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time. When these twows are used together, they result in unfathomable abilities. It’s said that it’s possible to walk along the river of time and tour the past and the future. The entire world bes transparent in his eyes. Don’t say anything, not even a single word, just in case the Point Cloud Venerable finds something with his abilities.</i>”
“<i>There are certain things that the Point Cloud Venerable should not know about,</i>” ancestor Lan told Jian Chen as if she had some misgivings.
Jian Chen understood what she meant. He acted like nothing was happening and bowed towards the Point Cloud Venerable in regards to his seniority before standing silently behind ancestor Lan.
Ancestor Lan brought Jian Chen and the Point Cloud Venerable to the space outside the Ice Goddess Hall again. However, as soon as he saw the Ice Goddess Hall swallowed by the wind and snow, the Point Cloud Venerable’s expression immediately became unnatural.
“Ancestor Lan, you wanted me to find someone. Don’t tell me the person you’re looking for is connected to this ce?” the Point Cloud Venerable asked rather stiffly.
“You’re overthinking, venerable. If they really were connected to this ce, why would the Ice Pole ne still be so peaceful?” Ancestor Lan spoke like normal, urging the Point Cloud Venerable to move a little faster.
The Point Cloud Venerable had his doubts, but he still ended up going along with it.
Immediately, the Ways of Time and the Ways of Space descended. The two ways wove together on the Point Cloud Venerable, forming something akin to a path of time in the end.
