Chapter 3068 Extravagance

Chapter 3068: Extravagance

“Senior He Qianchi is right. There are indeed a few matters that I cannot tell you right now, as it’s not exactly in your best interests to find out,” Jian Chen said seriously.

“Hmph, acting all mysterious. Jian Chen, you sound like an old man, yet you’re only around the same age as me, or even younger than me.” He Qianqian frowned and pouted.

Jian Chen smiled at that. He held a casual conversation with He Qianqian and He Qianchi for a little longer before bidding farewell to them, leaving the Heavenly Crane clan.

Before long, Jian Chen found the great elder of the Moon God Hall, Yun Wufeng, in a small city. By now, Yun Wufeng seemed to have returned to simplicity already. He purchased a small courtyard in a small city and lived there as a recluse alone, leading the life of a normal person.

This time, Jian Chen did not disguise himself with the mask. Instead, he found Yun Wufeng under his true identity.

The reason why he had disguised himself before he came to the Ice Pole Plane was to evade the Myriad Bone Guild. Since the Myriad Bone Guild knew his identity already, there was no point in continuing with the disguise.

“This should be your true appearance, right?” As soon as they met, Yun Wufeng stared straight at Jian Chen without blinking, studying him closely.

Jian Chen clasped his fist towards Yun Wufeng. “Senior Yun, due to certain special reasons before, I had no other choice but to disguise myself, so please forgive me.”

Yun Wufeng turned around. He held a broom in his hand and cleared away the accumulated snow in the courtyard steadily, just like a regular person. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I obviously understand you had your own worries before. Since you’re showing yourself with your true appearance, your worries must have vanished already.”

Jian Chen nodded. After a slight silence, he said, “My true name is Jian Chen. Senior Yun, I can see that you don’t seem to be interested in returning to the Moon God Hall. I just happen to have a small organisation on the Cloud Plane. If you don’t mind, my clan is willing to provide you with a peaceful place of cultivation, senior.”

Yun Wufeng’s movements paused. He stopped sweeping the snow and stood exactly where he was with the broom in his hand, sinking into his thoughts.

Jian Chen did not disturb Yun Wufeng. Instead, he stood dead-straight behind Yun Wufeng, waiting for his answer.

Yun Wufeng spent a very long period silent as if he had just experienced an internal conflict inside. In the end, he let out a great sigh and tossed the broom aside. “So be it. Even my life was saved by you after all, and you’re little Yue’er’s friend. I’ll go with you then!”

“Far, far too many sorrowful matters have occured in this place, as well as this plane. Leaving is good, leaving is good.”

Yun Wufeng seemed rather dejected. He no longer had any attachments to the Ice Pole Plane. In the end, he chose to leave with Jian Chen.

Jian Chen immediately beamed with joy from that. Yun Wufeng’s addition would make the Tian Yuan clan much stronger.

Afterwards, Jian Chen glanced at the Ice Pole Plane one last time with mixed emotions. His gaze paused in the direction of the Ice Goddess Hall for a very, very long time. In the end, with a sigh in his heart, he stepped resolutely into an interplanar teleportation formation with Yun Wufeng and left with slightly stifling feelings.

After several transfers between teleportation formations and paying a few coloured divine crystals, Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng finally arrived on the Cloud Plane.

As soon as he returned to the Cloud Plane, he was immediately hit in the face by a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. It immediately removed the stifling feeling from Jian Chen’s heart, lightening up his entire mood.

The Cloud Plane was where Jian Chen gained a footing in the Saints’ World, as well as where he had made a name for himself. It was also where the Tian Yuan clan stood. As a result, Jian Chen had developed some special feelings towards the Cloud Plane a long time ago.

“Is this the Cloud Plane?” Yun Wufeng studied the Cloud Plane from beside Jian Chen. He released the senses of his soul at the first opportunity, enveloping an entire region with ease.

“Among the forty-nine great planes of the Saints’ World, the Cloud Plane is ranked towards the bottom, except there seems to be a slight mismatch with the rumors now.” Yun Wufeng seemed to sense something. He furrowed his brows at first before suddenly widening his eyes, filled with disbelief.

“T-t-t-t-the small Cloud Plane is a little too spendthrift, aren’t they? They actually have several dozen interplanar teleportation formations in a single region. You just don’t see this. You just don’t see this. You really just don’t see this.” Yun Wufeng was completely amazed. His eyes were still filled with disbelief.

Constructing every single interplanar teleportation formation required a tremendous amount of resources. Often, only peak organisations with Grand Primes could bear the costs. However, even those peak organisations would not build too many interplanar teleportation formations, only two or three at most.

Under normal circumstances, interplanar teleportation formations were rarely used, and they came at a great cost to build, so one or two was enough for many organisations. No one was foolish enough to build several dozen of them in such a tiny region.

Yet right now, Yun Wufeng saw with his own eyes that several dozen interplanar teleportation formations stood in a single region, which left even a Chaotic Prime that had lived for many years like him dumbfounded.

After hearing Yun Wufeng’s words, Jian Chen was rather stunned as well. He understood the Cloud Plane extremely well. How could several dozen interplanar teleportation formations just appear like that?

In the next moment, he spread out the senses of his soul. Soon afterwards, he became dumbfounded as well. He completely blanked out.

“This is the southern region? No, i-i-is this really the southern region?” Jian Chen was dazed, as well as utterly surprised. Within the senses of his soul, he had truly discovered several dozen interplanar teleportation formations standing in the southern region alone.

Of course, those were only the interplanar teleportation formations. Apart from them, there were inter-region teleportation formations too.

There were several hundred of those across the entire southern region, almost nearing a thousand.

In the past, the entire southern region only had a few of them, all located in larger and more prosperous cities.

Yet right now, the number had multiplied by over a hundred times!

Apart from that, Jian Chen also detected that every single teleportation formation was surrounded by a powerful formation. The formations around the inter-region teleportation formations were so powerful that they could stop attacks from Chaotic Primes.

As for the several dozen interplanar teleportation formations, they were even more powerful. Even if First or Second Heavenly Layer Grand Primes appeared, they would not be able to touch those formations.

“The southern region is truly extravagant. Let alone the resources for building these teleportation formations, just the daily cost that goes into maintaining so many formations is an astronomical sum.” Yun Wufeng was speechless over the southern region’s current state. He had lived for all these years, but only today did he truly witness what true extravagance was.

Teleportation formations had basically littered every single place in the southern region. Let alone the small-scale cities and towns, even a few villages that had not reached any substantial size had a teleportation formation standing in them.

Some of the mountain ranges where weaker cultivators trained and explored had teleportation formations too!

Some of the renowned scenic spots had teleportation formations as well!

Without any exaggeration, any cultivator who lived in the southern region had absolutely no need to waste time on the road. The teleportation formations could send them anywhere in the southern region.

“The Cloud Plane really is in a category of its own. Only now have I suddenly realised that the entire Saints’ World has been underestimating the Cloud Plane.” Yun Wufeng was lost in wonder.

As for Jian Chen, he just stood there stunned for a very long time. Only much later did he return to his senses. “C’mon, let’s go back to the Tian Yuan clan.“”
