Chapter 3404: Reaching the Seventeenth Layer (2)

Very soon, all of the God Tier pills that the clan leader of the Spiritsages had retrieved from the treasury were absorbed by Jian Chen.

Under the Wind Venerable's assistance, he absorbed the pills several times or even several dozen times faster than if he cultivated alone.

The Wind Venerable did not stop. As soon as the pills were exhausted, the force of the world enveloped the floating heavenly resources.

Immediately, the heavenly resources turned into tremendous energy under the refinement of the Wind Venerable's force of the world. All of their impurities had been completely removed.

Shortly afterwards, the energy from the heavenly resources was rapidly devoured by Jian Chen like a whale taking in water; he converted strand after strand into Chaotic Force.

Immediately, the tiny neidan within his dantian began to expand at a visible rate.

Before long, Jian Chen absorbed all of the energy from the heavenly resources, but after absorbing the tremendous energy from all these God Tier pills and heavenly resources, the size that his chaotic neidan had grown to was rather underwhelming, despite growing larger.

According to his past experiences, his chaotic neidan had to reach the size of a fist before it reached its limit.

But right now, he was only a tenth of the way to completion.

Jian Chen also sensed the progress made by his chaotic neidan; his heart sank slightly. Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, the energy required to break through to the seventeenth layer still left him shocked.

"The difficulty in cultivating Chaotic Force truly is as it is reputed." The Wind Venerable sighed. After so many God Tier pills and heavenly resources, the chaotic neidan had only grown by that little bit. The amount of energy required by Chaotic Force even left a sovereign who stood at the peak of a world surprised.

However, the Wind Venerable clearly sensed how Jian Chen felt. He smiled gently. "However, no matter how much energy your Chaotic Force requires to break through, it won't be a problem for me. Fellow Jian Chen, you only need to focus on cultivation. Leave the rest to me."

Afterwards, the Wind Venerable continued to refine the remaining resources with the force of the world. The various coloured divine crystals floating in the air began to shatter.

These coloured divine crystals were normally used by Primordial realm experts. Godhood cultivators rarely ever used them. After all, not only was the energy in coloured divine crystals more pure than supreme grade divine crystals, but each piece of coloured divine crystal contained some of the power of the ways to a certain degree.

With the Wind Venerable's personal assistance, Jian Chen could not directly absorb the coloured divine crystals, but under the refinement from the Wind Venerable's force of the world, the power of ways contained within did not weaken. Instead, it was further compressed by his great powers, making it even more pure.

At this moment, in order to shorten the amount of time Jian Chen needed to break through, a mighty sovereign like the Wind Venerable was actually personally refining the energy for him.

Even direct disciples of sovereigns in the Saints' World could never enjoy such treatment.

The clan leader of the Spiritsages watched on from nearby. He could not find a single moment of peace. The old clan leader with his lofty status was actually handling such an arduous task. If this made it out, probably no one in the Saints' World would believe it.

Very soon, all the resources brought by the clan leader of the Spiritsages were depleted. Virtually at the same time, the mountain-like supreme grade divine crystal veins hidden deep underground erupted with turbulent energy. The disturbance was so great that the entire ground that the Spiritsages stood on shook gently.

That obviously was not Jian Chen's handiwork. Instead, the Wind Venerable had already begun extracting the veins' energy. An energy tremendous beyond description gathered towards the Wind Venerable before being rapidly refined by the force of the world. Then it flew towards Jian Chen as droplets of clear spiritual fluid that melded into his skin.

The divine crystal veins had always provided the Spiritsages with dense origin energy, supporting the needs of the entire clan. Now that the Wind Venerable was extracting the energy of the veins, that obviously intercepted part of the origin energy that went to the rest of the clan.

Immediately, the origin energy in the Spiritsages began to slowly dissipate.

"Hmm? What's going on? The origin energy is actually dissipating!"

"Something must have happened to the divine crystal veins! Report this to the clan leader!"

"Why is the origin energy gone? Without the origin energy, how are we supposed to cultivate?"

……

…

The Spiritsages immediately experienced disorder. Many clansmen amidst secluded cultivation emerged from their secret rooms. Even the upper echelon of the Spiritsages were alarmed.

"Quick, check the divine crystal veins and see if anything has happened!"

Immediately, the presences of Primordial realm experts spread out. Numerous Infinite Primes and Chaotic Primes were prepared to venture underground to check on the divine crystal veins.

At this moment, Ling Tong suddenly appeared and blocked everyone.

"Greetings, clan leader!"

All of the Primordial realm experts bowed towards Ling Tong.

Ling Tong's face was filled with mixed emotions. He said slowly, "You don't have to worry about the divine crystal veins. The old clan leader is there. From this moment onwards, the divine crystal veins are a forbidden zone. Without the old clan leader's permission, no one is allowed to enter them."

"What? The old clan leader?"

When they heard him mention the old clan leader, these Primordial realm experts all cried out uncontrollably. They became extremely emotional, filled with a sense of respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Immediately, the disorder caused by the dissipation of origin energy rapidly settled down again.

The words "old clan leader" seemed to possess some strange charm. It could soothe their minds and dismiss all of their uneasiness and agitation.

The Spiritsages' origin energy was cut off for a very long time. Months passed. During this time, many of their clansmen could only rely on divine crystals to cultivate. Some would even downright choose to not cultivate. However, they were extremely calm.

That was because they all knew the old clan leader was currently in the divine crystal veins.

During this period, the Grand Primes in the Spiritsages personally ventured over to the divine crystal veins to pay their respects to the old clan leader, but all they saw was the entirety of the veins enveloped in the force of the world. They did not find Jian Chen.

Only the current clan leader knew that Jian Chen was among the Spiritsages.

However, he was also unaware that the colossal divine crystal veins enveloped by the force of the world had already shrunk by a third of its original size in such a short period. The energy in the veins were severely depleted, leaving behind an everlasting impact.

"With only the divine crystal veins, it will probably be difficult for his Chaotic Force to break through!" The Wind Venerable hovered nearby and slowly began to frown, but in the next moment, he vanished, having left the Spiritsages already.

The Ancient Burial clan was one of the seven archaean clans of the Saints' World. They were also located in the vast outer space.

On this day, a startling presence directly breached the Ancient Burial clan's protective formation and invaded the clan, making the miniature world where the Ancient Burial clan resided shake violently.

"Vengeful Heaven Saint Monarch!" an old voice boomed out slowly with utmost dignity.

"How dare you! Who dares to stir up trouble in the Ancient Burial clan!" A startling bellow immediately rang out from the depths of the Ancient Burial clan. Numerous presences of Grand Primes erupted with a sense of fury.

However, as soon as these presences appeared, a yell rang out from the depths of the Ancient Burial clan. The voice was not particularly loud, but it was filled with endless charm, drowning out all of the furious roars from the Ancient Burial clan.

"The Wind Sovereign has come to visit! How can you be so disrespectful! Back down, all of you!"

The person who said that was the Vengeful Heaven Saint Monarch of the Ancient Burial clan!

"What? The Wind Sovereign?" All of the Grand Primes in the Ancient Burial clan were startled by that name. As if a bucket of cold water had just been poured over their heads, their fury was immediately extinguished. They began to shiver.

Shortly afterwards, the protective formation around the Ancient Burial clan opened up. Under the Vengeful Heaven Saint Monarch's lead, a group of high-ranking members ventured outside to welcome the Wind Venerable. Including the Vengeful Heaven Saint Monarch, everyone bowed politely towards the Wind Venerable.

"I've come to borrow some resources from your Ancient Burial clan!" the Wind Venerable stood and said nonchalantly.

"What? Borrow resources?" All of the ancestors from the Ancient Burial clan could not help but look at one another when they heard that. Even the Vengeful Heaven Saint Monarch was stunned, very taken aback by the request.
