Chapter 3772: The City Lord’s Gift

Jian Chen did not decline the offer. He accepted the resources. He still had several hundred thousand disciples cultivating in the Primeval Divine Hall. Their consumption each day was extremely startling, and virtually all of these resources had to be sourced from the outside world.

They had obtained a tremendous sum of resources from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens did not have any businesses or sources of income in the outside world. If they only relied on those resources, they would run out someday.

Afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu held a casual conversation with Jian Chen. As they spoke, he mentioned the Skyscraping Sword Scripture.

“The Skyscraping Sword Scripture has a total of one hundred and eight pages. Only after all the pages have emerged will the Skyscraping World be opened. As a result, if you want to enter the Skyscraping World, I’m afraid you still have to wait a little longer,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said solemnly.

By the Skyscraping World, it referred to the miniature world that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable had opened up.

Shortly afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu seemed to think of something. He could not help but smile wryly. “When I enter the Skyscraping World this time, I was planning to try and obtain one of the seeds of ways to help me overcome the restraints that have held me back for the past million years and reach the Third Heavenly Layer. With your participation now, it seems like my chances of obtaining a seed of ways has become extremely slim.”

“In my knowledge, whenever the Skyscraping World opens, it will attract experts from across the Immortals’ World, which even includes the ancestors of some peak organisations. Even if I don’t participate, the city lord’s chances of obtaining a seed of ways are still extremely slim,” Jian Chen said calmly.

“Hahahaha, you’re completely correct, fellow. During the past few times the Skyscraping World opened up, there would be a large number of experts competing for the seeds of ways. There were even cases where Immortal Exalts perished. It’s extremely brutal. I managed to obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture this time and earn the right to enter the Skyscraping World, but whether I can obtain a seed of ways in the very end is not something I’m completely confident about.”

“But fortunately, the Skyscraping World has much more than just the seeds of ways. Apart from the seeds of ways, there are a large number of markings of the Ways of the Sword. These markings are all embedded in tablets. They were created by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable. They contain the mysteries of the world. If we focus on comprehending these markings, we’ll also benefit if everything aligns.”

Jian Chen conversed with Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. When it came to the Skyscraping World, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu clearly knew much more than Jian Chen. Through the conversation, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu divulged many pieces of information that Jian Chen did not know before.

In the end, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu flipped his hand and took out an item from his Space Ring.

Immediately, the pressure of a high quality god artifact radiated out. It was a furnace only the size of a hand, shining with brilliant and gorgeous light.

“This item is known as the Energy-devouring Furnace. It belongs to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. The Void-perceiving Ancestor had borrowed it from them. Now that the experts from the Void-perceiving sect have perished, it’s ended up in my hands.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu first gave a simple introduction of the Energy-devouring Furnace to Jian Chen. Worry filled his face as he said, “Fellow Yang Yutian, I’ll be honest, the Energy-gathering Furnace has already become an issue to me. I can’t keep it nor can I discard it. I don’t know how I should deal with this item.”

“As a result, one of my other goals for specially visiting you is to seek your opinion. How should I deal with the Energy-gathering Furnace from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?”

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu in interest and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t even have the courage to return this item?”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu smiled wryly. “Actually, I have considered returning this item to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, but I’m worried about handling it poorly and creating a misunderstanding with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

Jian Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile as he said steadily, “You’re not worried about a misunderstanding with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. You’re worried about the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment creating trouble for your Immortal Rising City after you destroyed the Void-perceiving sect. After all, since the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment lent the Energy-devouring Furnace to the Void-perceiving sect, they clearly support the Void-perceiving sect attacking your Immortal Rising City. In the end, not only did the Void-perceiving sect fail to take down the Immortal Rising City, but they themselves were even annihilated.”

“An outcome like that is no different from a slap across the face to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. If they overthink this, the end result of this matter might even be elevated to the point of infringing on the sect’s dignity if some people decide to pull some strings.”

“If it really develops to that extent, your Immortal Rising City will be in deep trouble.”

“You’re completely correct, fellow. That’s exactly what I’m worried about. In your opinion, how should I deal with this Energy-devouring Furnace?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was extremely open to Jian Chen’s suggestion.

“It’s simple. Give it to me, and I’ll deal with the repercussions from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment,” said Jian Chen. He could already tell that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu wanted to give the Energy-gathering Furnace to him.

Since this item had connections to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu could not directly say that he had gifted it to him. He was worried that his actions would be misunderstood as an attempt at shifting the blame. He had purposefully waited until Jian Chen mentioned it himself.

Sure enough, as soon as Jian Chen said that, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu beamed with joy. His tense heart finally seemed to loosen.

The two vice city lords seated on the side appeared like a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders as well.

Afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu quickly passed the Energy-devouring Furnace over to Jian Chen. He did it all in a hurry as if he was afraid that Jian Chen would change his mind.

The palm-sized Energy-devouring Furnace shone with gorgeous light as Jian Chen casually fiddled around with it in his hand.

Jian Chen was quite interested in the Energy-gathering Furnace. In his eyes, this artifact was basically a godsend for breaching formations.

All formations needed a steady supply of energy to operate. Once they ran out of energy, not only would the power of the formation greatly diminish, but it might even directly collapse.

The usual method for breaching formations would be to attack them and exhaust their energy, continuing until they automatically shut down from running out of energy.

Of course, that was in the scenario where the defences of the formation surpassed the strength of the assailant.

"The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has many enemies in the Immortals\' World, so I\'ll only be facing more and more formations, stronger and stronger formations in the future. The Energy-devouring Furnace is perfect for this. Not only does it devour the energy of formations at a startling rate, but the energy devoured can even be condensed into immortal crystals of high purity, so it\'s not completely wasted," Jian Chen thought. He had already begun searching through the space in the Energy-devouring Furnace. Sure enough, he discovered a mountainous pile of immortal crystals.

There was an extremely large number of them, but it still made Jian Chen furrow his brows.

"Given the speed at which the Energy-devouring Furnace devours energy, it should have amassed far more energy than this over the half a month. This pile of immortal crystals is probably only a tenth of what it had devoured."

"Has the remaining energy been exhausted by the Energy-devouring Furnace itself, or is the Energy-devouring Furnace only capable of refining so much?" Jian Chen wondered. He did not believe Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had taken any of it.

In reality, because of the existence of the artifact spirit, it was impossible for Immortal Exalt Tan Yu to bypass the artifact spirit and forcibly remove anything from it. He could only take anything if he had the permission of the artifact spirit or it had accepted him as its master.
