Chapter 2950 - Grand Exalt

Chapter 2950: Grand Exalt Submerged in the comprehension of ways, Jian Chen could not sense the passage of time at all. He had completely lost himself to cultivation. Under this state, he could only sense his comprehension of the Laws of the Sword steadily increasing.
After who knew how long, Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Laws of the Sword reached the limits of partial achievement of Sword Immortal. Vaguely, he could already make out the gates leading to the major achievement of Sword Immortal.
In that moment, he had already touched on the gates to the major achievement of Sword Immortal.
However, right when he was prepared to stride through these gates and truly set foot in the brand-new world that the major achievement of Sword Immortal was, he suddenly felt like the surroundings had become filled with mist. The mist obscured the entire world.
Even the gates he could see with absolute clarity earlier were immediately blurred. The distance within arm’s reach had become extremely great too.
The manifestation of ways caused by the Wind Venerable’s fusion with the fetal membrane of the world had come to an end. All of the laws that had clearly manifested in the surroundings were hidden away once more.
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the world that had cleared up once more and could only sigh helplessly. He was only one step, just one step, away from breaking through to the major achievement of Sword Immortal, which would allow him to formally set foot into the realm of Chaotic Prime.
Once he reached the great achievement of Sword Immortal, not only could his Chaotic Body break through to the sixteenth layer, but he would even be able to refine another strand of his trump card, the Profound Sword Qi.
Sacredfeather and Shen Jian roused at the same time too. They immediately surged with energy as powerful presences erupted uncontrollably.
Both of them had broken through a minor realm of cultivation with this comprehension. Sacredfeather had gone from the Second Heavenly Layer to the Third, while Shen Jian had gone from the Fourth Heavenly Layer to the Fifth.
Jian Chen was not surprised by their breakthroughs, as his current Way of the Sword should have been equivalent to the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime.
Even if he set aside the fact that it was harder to breakthrough the higher his cultivation was, the most important reason for this was because the breakthrough he faced right now was traversing between major realms of cultivation.
A ditch existed between Infinite Prime and Chaotic Prime. He just happened to be standing in the ditch right now.
Shen Jian and Sacredfeather stabilised their cultivations very quickly. They both ravished with joy.
However, the three of them did not talk a lot. Very soon, their eyes gathered on the Wind Venerable right in front of them.
At this moment, the thing right before them was no longer the fetal membrane of the world shrouded in a layer of thick mist, but the figure of an old man they all found extremely familiar.
The old man was the Wind Venerable!
The Wind Venerable was solemn, sitting in the air with his eyes shut, giving off a natural sense of awe. His messy hair was now tied up in a neat bun on his head.
Gazing at the Wind Venerable, the three of them struggled to connect him with the beggar-like old man of the past.
He was still the same person.
However, his bearing was now worlds apart.


Brother, has senior Wind become a Grand Exalt now?

Sacredfeather communicated to Jian Chen. He studied the Wind Venerable curiously as if he was a little uncertain.
That was because the Wind Venerable no longer bore the devastating pressure anymore, apart from being different in bearing.
His current state clearly differed drastically from how Grand Exalts were described in the rumours.


We’ll know once the Wind Venerable rouses,

Jian Chen replied. He also studied the Wind Venerable, and his eyes gradually became filled with wonder.
He discovered that the Wind Venerable’s body did not seem to resemble a body of flesh.
Afterwards, the three of them waited for a very long time until the Wind Venerable finally roused.
When the Wind Venerable opened his eyes, the power of the membrane that enveloped the entire planet vanished silently. The power that protected the three of them disappeared too.

Senior Wind, have you really become a Grand Exalt?
Shen Jian asked eagerly. Even though he already knew the answer, he was still uncertain unless the Wind Venerable confirmed it personally.
Senior Wind nodded with a smile.
With that, Jian Chen, Sacredfeather, and Shen Jian were overjoyed. They were all excited.

Though, while I have completely fused with the fetal membrane of the world, I’ve yet to completely grasp the membrane’s powers, so you can only consider me as an empty husk right now. I don’t possess the corresponding power. I still need to cultivate in secluded cultivation for a good while. During that time, it would be inappropriate for me to do anything,
said the Wind Venerable.

Senior Wind, then do you have the essence blood of Grand Exalts?
Jian Chen asked rather eagerly. Right now, he was in quite a hurry to find ten droplets of Grand Exalt’s essence blood so that he could obtain the Primeval Divine Hall.

My little friend Jian Chen, I no longer have a body of flesh anymore. The body you see right now is actually from the fetal membrane of the world. It does not have flesh and blood, it does not have organs, nor does it have meridians. You can completely treat it as an artifact, so I obviously don’t have essense blood either,
the Wind Venerable said calmly.
Jian Chen immediately became disappointed.
Perhaps because the Wind Venerable had managed to read Jian Chen’s requirement for the essence blood of Grand Exalts, he added,
If you need the essence blood of a Grand Exalt, you don’t have to worry too much. Once I completely grasp the powers of the fetal membrane of the world, I’ll go visit Bloodtear and exchange some from him.


Senior Wind, let’s talk about the Grand Exalt’s essence blood once you’ve completely grasped the powers of the fetal membrane,
Jian Chen said with uncertainty. He primarily wanted the ten droplets of essence blood to remove the curse that the Dao Union Saint had placed on the Primeval Divine Hall.
But actually, ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood was not the only thing that could remove the curse. If he could ask a Grand Exalt to personally take action, he could also remove the curse, allowing the Primeval Divine Hall to break free.
However, he wondered whether the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall had asked him to gather ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood back then because it did not believe he had the power to make a Grand Exalt to take action personally, or because there was an element of a test involved?
Or perhaps the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall was worried the Grand Exalt might go back on their word and claim it for themselves, such that Jian Chen would obtain absolutely nothing in the end?

Sure, that works too. My little fiend Jian Chen, you can spend a few days resting here. Once I completely grasp the power of the fetal membrane, I’ll do everything that I can to assist you in recovering your chaotic essence blood.
the Wind Venerable nodded.
Jian Chen hesitated.
Then roughly how much time would you need to completely grasp the power of the fetal membrane, senior Wind?


It can range from a few decades to several dozen millennia,
the Wind Venerable said in thought. He had lived for far, far too long. This amount of time was absolutely nothing in his eyes.
However, Jian Chen did not want to wait here for that long. Before, he had been forced to remain here so that he could construct a cover and mislead the Myriad Bone Guild into believing he was already dead, allowing him to keep Shen Jian’s existence a secret.
Back then, the Wind Venerable regularly lost his mind, and his moments of clarity were very short. If the Myriad Bone Guild came, they might not have been able to threaten the Wind Venerable, but Shen Jian would be in great trouble.
Now that the Wind Venerable had become a Grand Exalt, although he had not grasped the powers of a Grand Exalt just yet, he would not regularly lose his mind like before at least.
In his current state, protecting Shen Jian should not be much of an issue anymore.

Senior Wind, I want to go right now,
said Jian Chen. He had already recovered over a dozen droplets of chaotic essence blood. Even though his strength was affected and he was not in top shape, he still possessed the battle prowess of an Infinite Prime right now, so keeping himself safe was not a problem.
