Chapter 2648: Advice
This time, before Shangguan Mu’er could reply, Jian Chen declined for her.
Thank you for your kind intentions, senior, but junior already has plans regarding Mu’er’s future cultivation. Junior plans on sending her to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

After learning that Dao Jiu came from the Dao clan, Jian Chen decided to stop Mu’er from going with him.
He did not make this decision because he felt grievances towards the Dao clan. Instead, it was because of the Primeval Divine Hall sealed within the World of Grand Clarity.
The Primeval Divine Hall had been sealed up by the Dao Union Saint from the aeon before the last. They resented each other. Jian Chen had always been thinking about the Primeval Divine Hall. He had already made up his mind to return to the World of Grand Clarity and become the master of the Primeval Divine Hall as soon as he collected ten droplets of essence blood from Saints.
It was extremely likely for the Dao clan, one of the archean clans of the Saints’ World, to come from the Dao Union Saint. As a result, Jian Chen was extremely worried that the grievances between the Saint of Grand Clarity and the Dao Union Saint would be inherited by him and the Dao clan if he obtained the Primeval Divine Hall.


Even if such a matter was not particularly likely, Jian Chen wanted to maintain his distance from the Dao clan.

The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng,
Dao Jiu murmured, and he frowned slightly. He glanced at Jian Chen with some displeasure. Originally, he did not plan to waste words on this topic. However, when he considered that Shangguan Mu’er was the only successor of the woman he loved and how he wanted to take Shangguan Mu’er back to the Dao clan to take care of her, he could only say,
The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng is indeed more powerful than our Dao clan, and our Dao clan cannot be compared to them in terms of resources. However, Shangguan Mu’er, if you really do go to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, they won’t spend too many resources on you. On the other hand, in my Dao clan, I will nurture you as a direct disciple of mine. As a result, the Dao clan is more suitable than the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng for you. You will benefit even more in the Dao clan.


Mu’er is extremely grateful for senior’s kindness, but Mu’er has already made up her mind about accompanying Jian Chen in the future. Mu’er does not wish to go elsewhere.
Shangguan Mu’er did not waver at all. She declined without hesitation.
Dao Jiu could tell with a single glance that Shangguan Mu’er had already made up her mind, and she was not interested in the various benefits the Dao clan could offer.

If that’s the case, I won’t force it on you. If you think it through in the future, just crush this jade talisman. I will send people to fetch you. My Dao clan welcomes you at any time.
Dao Jiu extended a finger, and the corner of a jade talisman immediately condensed out of nothing. From the corner, it rapidly appeared.
Very soon, a palm-sized, exquisite talisman appeared before Shangguan Mu’er. A pattern of primal simplicity was engraved on one side, while the other side had the word ‘Dao’ that seemed to contain endless mysteries.

Creating something from nothing!
Jian Chen was surprised when he saw this. He could tell with a single glance that the jade talisman had not been preconstructed. Instead, it had been created by Dao Jiu through his abilities.
Moreover, what he created was no ordinary jade talisman. It possessed the presence of the ways, something extraordinary that hid profound power.
Just creating a jade talisman was nothing difficult, but creating something that possessed such a profound presence of ways was miraculous.
That alone was enough to demonstrate just how astonishingly skilled Dao Jiu was.


His comprehension of the laws of the world had reached an extremely astonishing level.

If you come across any powerful opponent in the future, you can just take out the jade talisman. It’s not a treasure for defence, but it does represent me to a certain degree.


However, not everyone can recognise this jade talisman. You’ll need to deal with the people who can’t yourselves, but those who can should show some respect towards me.

Dao Jiu looked at Jian Chen. He did not treat Jian Chen as amiably as Shangguan Mu’er. He seemed rather cold as he said,
I know you’ve returned the Anatta Tower and gained great merit for your service to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. However, for the sake of Shangguan Mu’er, let me give you a piece of advice. The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng isn’t as great as you imagine them to be. Sending Shangguan Mu’er to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng may not necessarily be a good idea. As for your so-called Tian Yuan clan, if you want it to continue to thrive, don’t go to the Prosper Plane.


I know you are worried about the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, but you can relax about that. As long as you’re still alive, he won’t dare to do anything.

With that, Dao Jiu vanished. He left silently and did not leave a single trace behind. He had already departed.
Dao Jiu had left, but Jian Chen did not get any peace at all. He sank into his thoughts after hearing Dao Jiu’s words at the very end. He also became extremely stern.
He did not know who Dao Jiu was. However, given the man’s great cultivation, he could have easily taken Shangguan Mu’er away, but he chose not to. Instead, he respected Shangguan Mu’er’s choice. That alone changed Jian Chen’s opinion of Dao Jiu slightly.
Someone like that definitely would not lie. Since he had said sending Shangguan Mu’er to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was not necessarily a good idea, there was definitely a reason for it. Jian Chen had to ponder deeply about his words regarding the Tian Yuan clan.
Dao Jiu’s words clearly revealed one fact—the Prosper Plane was not a blessing to the Tian Yuan clan.


At this moment, several powerful presences descended upon the Tian Yuan clan, breaking Jian Chen’s train of thought.
The battle in outer space had already ended. Hun Zang, Chu Jian, and Yue Chao had returned to the Tian Yuan clan together. Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, Lieyan Wuji, and the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak had left separately. The battles in the other regions still needed them.
Jian Chen temporarily cast aside Dao Jiu’s words and arrived at the front with Shangguan Mu’er. He saw several corpses with a single glance.
They belonged to Wu Lu, Gong Ji, and Changfeng Yun.

Unfortunately, I let the Gentle Breeze Ancestor escape,
Hun Zang said in pity. The Gentle Breeze Ancestor was the strongest expert of the Four Symbols Alliance. Prior to their battle, Hun Zang had drained half his Martial Soul Force with the Heaven-severing technique before becoming heavily injured. It was very difficult for him to stop the Gentle Breeze Ancestor from escaping while not being at his peak condition.

First senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, it’s all thanks to you that we won this war. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t even be able to keep the Tian Yuan clan safe. Please come in and rest.
Jian Chen clasped his fist.

We better return to the mountain soul instead. We can rest and heal up better there. However, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord will definitely fly into a fury with the young star lord’s death. You can’t stay on the Cloud Plane any longer. You have to return to the Martial Soul Mountain with us immediately,
Hun Zang said sternly. They felt very pressured by the Nine Brilliance Star Lord.
He was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime after all. Before such an expert, they could only depend on the Martial Soul Mountain.

If we had seven people like before, stopping the Nine Brilliance Star Lord would probably be rather difficult, but we already possess eight people now. As a result, the power of the Martial Soul Mountain will become even more powerful. The Martial Soul Mountain should be able to stop the Nine Brilliance Star Lord now,
said Yue Chao.
