165: Central Plains, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chen Taicang gave Jiang Yunfan four hundred million High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Although the Chen Family was an Ancient Desolate Family with profound foundations, taking out four hundred million High-Grade Spirit Stones at once still made the Chen Family bleed heavily.

"The Spirit Stones are yours. Release them."

"Naturally."

Jiang Yunfan put away the star pagoda and released Chen Beixuan and the other three. He said to Chen Taicang, "Chen Family Head, consider these four hundred billion Spirit Stones a lesson! In the future, you must properly discipline your family members. Don't let them bite people like mad dogs."

"If they bite ordinary people, then so be it, as ordinary people can't afford to offend the Chen Family. But if they bite someone with a profound background like me, the consequences can be very severe. I have said all I need to say."

Jiang Yunfan left the Chen Family.

This trip to East Sea City extorted forty billion Spirit Stones. Once he reached Central State, he could go on a shopping spree.

"Jiang Yunfan, the Chen Family's Spirit Stones are not so easily taken."

Chen Taicang harbored killing intent towards Jiang Yunfan.

No sooner had the killing intent arisen than Jiang Yunfan received intelligence.

[Today's Intelligence (Orange): Host extorted four hundred billion Spirit Stones from the Chen Family. Chen Family Head Chen Taicang has developed killing intent towards Host. Chen Taicang will send a Nirvana Peak Realm mighty expert to track Host to Central State and make a move on Host there. Danger Level: SS-rank.]

Jiang Yunfan sneered upon receiving the crisis intelligence. He was not surprised that Chen Taicang had developed killing intent towards him; he would have been surprised if Chen Taicang hadn't after being extorted four hundred billion Spirit Stones.

Jiang Yunfan arrived at the teleportation platform. He ignored the few people guarding the teleportation platform, didn't give them Spirit Stones, and instead took out ten High-Grade Spirit Stones to activate the teleportation Formation.

The teleportation Formation activated, and Jiang Yunfan was instantly teleported away.

No sooner had Jiang Yunfan left than a Chen Family member arrived at the teleportation platform.

The few people guarding the teleportation platform quickly stepped forward to pay their respects, "Greetings, Fourth Elder."

The person who arrived was none other than the Chen Family's Fifth Elder, Chen Qiong.

Chen Qiong took out Spirit Stones to activate the teleportation Formation, and he instantly vanished from the teleportation platform.

Central State.

East Desolate City.

The teleportation platform emitted a white light, and a person appeared on the teleportation platform.

[Today's Intelligence (White): Host has been teleported to East Desolate City in Central State.]

"Central State truly lives up to its reputation as the center of the Nine Provinces; even the Spiritual Qi is so dense here."

The Spiritual Qi in East Desolate City was several times richer than in East Sea City.

A single glimpse reveals the whole picture.

Eastern State simply couldn't compare to Central State.

The System sent two more pieces of intelligence.

[Today's Intelligence (Orange): There are two King Herbs in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.]

[Today's Intelligence (Blue): Tens of thousands of miles away, there is a nine-leaf sword grass. At the root of the nine-leaf sword grass is an Innate Spirit Orb, the wood spirit orb. Seven years later, the nine-leaf sword grass will transform into human form and will undoubtedly become a peerless existence. Refining it before its transformation can grant the Innate Divine Ability, One Leaf Slashes Stars (Map has been transmitted).]

[Today's Intelligence (Gold): Collecting all Innate Five Elements Spirit Orbs can fuse them into a Chaos Orb. The Chaos Orb can evolve into a world.]

"I actually received a Gold-rank intelligence. It seems my luck is good."

Jiang Yunfan quickly left the teleportation platform.

No sooner had he left than someone appeared on the teleportation platform. It was Chen Baichuan, the Chen Family's mighty expert sent to intercept and kill Jiang Yunfan.

Chen Baichuan's Divine Sense located Jiang Yunfan, who was leaving East Desolate City, and he instantly vanished.

Jiang Yunfan detected a probing Divine Sense. He sneered, "You want to kill me? I'll make sure you never return. When I go back to Eastern State later, I'll slowly settle the score with the Chen Family."

Jiang Yunfan took out the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation diagram. Using a Seventh-Grade Sword Array to kill a mighty expert was a bit like overkill, but he didn't want to waste time and preferred to finish it quickly.

A sky-covering hand tore through the Void Realm and slapped towards him. He was struck down by the palm.

Boom!

The ground shook violently.

A gigantic palm print appeared on the ground.

Chen Baichuan appeared, "What a pity. A Young Great Emperor has fallen prematurely."

"You're celebrating too early, aren't you!"

A grand Formation enveloped a region of Heaven and Earth, trapping Chen Baichuan within. The grand Formation evolved into a starry sky, forming a world of its own.

Chen Baichuan's expression changed drastically, "A Seventh-Grade Formation."

Jiang Yunfan appeared outside the grand Formation, completely unharmed. He crossed his arms and said, "Taste the power of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation!"

Each star released Star Divine Light.

Every ray of Star Divine Light was Sword Qi.

Dense Sword Qi shot towards Chen Baichuan. He condensed his magic power to resist the Sword Qi, but it was like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot. He was instantly pierced by ten thousand swords and severely wounded.

Jiang Yunfan summoned the heaven swallowing cauldron. The heaven swallowing cauldron entered the Formation and devoured the heavily injured Chen Baichuan.

A mighty expert had just died like that.

Jiang Yunfan put away the formation diagram and the heaven swallowing cauldron. He had the Archaic Emperor Butterfly carry him through the Void Realm and leave.

If he had wanted to escape earlier, even if Chen Baichuan was a mighty expert, he wouldn't have been able to catch him.

As soon as Chen Baichuan died, the news reached Chen Taicang's ears.

"Family Head, Fourth Elder's soul jade stone has shattered."

"What! Chen Baichuan is dead."

Chen Taicang's face was cold. He had thought that sending Chen Baichuan to kill Jiang Yunfan would succeed, but he didn't expect Chen Baichuan to die instead. It was truly hateful.

Not only did they fail to kill him, but they also stirred up trouble for themselves.

The Chen Family and Big Dipper Sacred Land were bound to become enemies.

Jiang Yunfan must die.

"Jiang Yunfan, I will make your name famous in Central State."

Chen Taicang sneered, planning to use others to kill him.

Central State had countless Prodigies. Once Jiang Yunfan, this Young Great Emperor from Eastern State, became famous in Central State, those Prodigies would definitely go looking for trouble with him.

Since ancient times, many Young Great Emperors have emerged, but many have also fallen prematurely. Those who can go on to prove the Dao and become Great Emperors are few and far between... Jiang Yunfan traveled through the Void Realm and arrived at a mountain range.

The trees in the mountain range were exceptionally lush and thick. The smallest ones were dozens of meters tall, and the tallest reached over a hundred meters, requiring a dozen people to encircle their trunks.

"It seems to be due to that wood spirit orb."

"An Innate Spirit Orb, this is an extremely rare treasure, comparable in value to a Sacred Artifact."

Innate Spirit Treasures are formed by Heaven and Earth, seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth. Each one possesses immense power.

Jiang Yunfan enveloped the entire mountain range with his Divine Sense and found the inconspicuous nine-leaf sword grass.

The nine-leaf sword grass had nine leaves like sharp swords, having mutated from sword-shaped grass.

sword-shaped grass only had three leaves.

Jiang Yunfan instantly appeared before the nine-leaf sword grass.

Suddenly, a fierce Sword Qi slashed towards him. Wherever it passed, all grass and trees were severed. The Sword Qi was blocked by Chaos Power and instantly assimilated and absorbed.

Rays of Sword Qi attacked Jiang Yunfan, possessing extremely strong lethality. The nine-leaf sword grass was like a Sword Cultivator, its leaves its swords, with strength comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The nine-leaf sword grass had not yet transformed; once it transformed, its strength could reach the Yin-Yang Realm.

Jiang Yunfan ignored the Sword Qi and walked towards the nine-leaf sword grass. The nine-leaf sword grass seemed to sense danger. It frantically absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, condensing a heaven-shaking Sword Qi that slashed towards Jiang Yunfan. Jiang Yunfan merely flicked his finger and shattered the Sword Qi.

He grabbed the nine-leaf sword grass and pulled it out by the roots.

The leaves of the nine-leaf sword grass were extremely sharp, comparable to precious swords, yet they could not harm Jiang Yunfan in the slightest.

Jiang Yunfan released his Divine Sense to probe the ground and found a green bead about a dozen meters deep. "Is this the wood spirit orb?"

"I must gather all the Innate Five Elements Spirit Orbs."
