After handing over the spiritual jade, he asked, "Xian Hu, how confident are you in handling this task?"
Upon seeing the image within the jade, Xian Hu immediately recognized something, noting the resemblance between Jiang Fann and Jiang Tianhai. This realization made his expression turn serious.
"I have the means to break through the formations, at least the main one of the celestial palace. I can get through that," he said, patting his gourd for emphasis. He continued, "However, my abilities are limited. I can't handle those top-tier experts in the celestial palace. Are you sure you can keep them occupied?"
"I'm confident I can, but the key lies with you. I'll make my presence known outside the palace, but due to the distance, they could reinforce the prison at any moment. It's best if you don't force your way in but instead slip in quietly. Just focus on getting the person out. If you succeed, I'll owe you a huge favor."
On his way back, Jiang Fann tried to reach out to Gu Xie but received no response. He understood this was due to the inhibition Gu Xie had set up, blocking external communication. At this point, the only one who could assist him was the old dragon. However, the old dragon's methods wouldn't allow for a subtle entrance into the prison; appearing would likely draw the attention of the celestial palace's cultivators immediately.
So, it's best to leave this matter to Xian Hu for now; it's the safest option. Jiang Fann could step in himself, but since this is the Heavenly Palace, with its formidable barriers and numerous experts around, acting directly might lead to being surrounded, and the outcome would be uncertain.
Xian Hu quickly responded, "It's no big favor. If I were in trouble, you'd definitely find a way to help me. Leave this to me. I'll wait for your signal and can start anytime. Once you're gone, I'll use the cover of night to sneak over to the back mountain, making sure not to waste any time."
Jiang Fann nodded and then took out another device. "This is a teleportation array I crafted on my way here. As long as you're not in a special formation, you can use it from your current location. The other end is near Lihuo City, giving you another way to leave."
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Xian Hu accepted the teleportation array without hesitation. "Leave this to me, but be careful yourself. If possible, I wouldn't mind coming back to help you after getting him out."
Jiang Fann replied, "As long as you can keep him safe, do whatever you need to." With that, Jiang Fann suppressed his aura, turned, and left the room without saying more.
However, Xian Hu noticed a hint of anger in Jiang Fann's eyes, a look he'd never seen before, indicating that Jiang Fann was truly furious.
Considering what the Celestial Palace has been doing in secret, it's not hard to understand why Jiang Fann feels this way. After all, involving family is something that can't be forgiven.
Xian Hu adjusted his clothes, which then slowly turned black, resembling nightwear. Clearly, this outfit is a high-quality spiritual treasure with the ability to change form.
After leaving the room, Jiang Fann headed down the mountain, planning his next steps and giving Xian Hu some time. The actions of the Celestial Palace were unacceptable to him. Initially, he only intended to teach them a lesson for targeting the Heaven Pavilion, but now they've crossed a line.
A few days ago, when he left the Heaven Pavilion, his mother was waiting for his father to return. He never expected the Celestial Palace to secretly capture and detain them. This alone made Jiang Fann resolve to completely eliminate the current trouble.
On the way down, the Blade of the Gods spoke first, "Let's make a big scene!"
The Martial God Order didn't try to dissuade him this time, saying, "Since you're planning to head to the Sanctuary Academy, this might be the best opportunity to help the Heaven Pavilion and ensure no one dares to target it again. A permanent solution!"
Xiao Yu suggested, "Should we make a quick trip back to Myriad Clouds Mountain and have Gu Xie awaken temporarily? It might be a safer approach."
Jiang Fann responded, "Let's not wake her up just yet. Let her stabilize her state. I just finished my own retreat and I know how crucial it is not to be disturbed. It can have a huge impact."
Hearing this, Xiaoyu quickly said, "But isn't it too much for you to handle alone? There were two peak-level experts in the courtyard just now. No wonder they dared to challenge the Pavilion despite knowing about Xiaomo's presence. These people are not easy to deal with."
Jiang Fann replied, "We don't necessarily have to take them all down. Just deal with the ones that need to be dealt with. Even if I'm not their match, they won't be able to stop me."
He clearly had a plan and seemed confident in his own strength. Now possessing power at the peak level, he didn't feel the need to hide it. At least within the Nine Desolations, he didn't think anyone posed a threat to him. All he needed to do was showcase his strength and instill fear in others.
As he left the mountain gate, Jiang Fann hesitated about whether to leave the outer city. However, after sensing the surrounding formations, he felt there was no need to worry too much. The formations here were not strong enough to pose a challenge to him; he could break through them effortlessly.
Jiang Fann used his array-breaking strength to pass through a nearby barrier without causing any disturbance. He didn't start moving immediately but instead sat quietly, giving Xian Hu a little more time.
He removed his disguise, restored his spiritual strength, and prepared himself to be in peak condition. He also found a few elixirs to use as a backup plan. Facing so many experts, Jiang Fann was not about to be careless.
Half an hour later, Jiang Fann opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Palace, his gaze becoming very calm. He didn't release a particularly powerful aura, but he stopped suppressing the aura of the Creation Spell of Heaven and Earth. Instead, he cast a divine spell, enveloping himself in its aura. The cultivator with the same power as him was the one he was most interested in. Jiang Fann wanted to see if he would come alone.
Deep within the Heavenly Palace, in the courtyard, Zhang Qianren and the others were still discussing their next steps. A man standing to the side suddenly shuddered and immediately took to the sky, flying off into the distance without saying a word to the others. The rest looked in the direction he left, their eyes filled with a bit of confusion, but no one followed.
Zhang Qianren spoke up, "We were only halfway through our discussion, where's Master Zhao off to?"
Venerable Hanxing replied, "He's always been so peculiar. Let's not worry about him for now. Let's finish our preparations. Once we capture that kid, Wan Chengfeng, we'll act immediately and aim to resolve the Myriad Clouds Mountain situation as quickly as possible."
Master Zhao, who had been propelled away, had a flicker in his eyes as he sensed the intense reaction of the remnant scroll within his Qi Sea. The source of this energy wasn't far, which explained his excitement. He had previously detected the aura of the Creation Spell of Heaven and Earth, feeling it draw closer to the Heavenly Palace. He hadn't shared this with anyone else, but this new perception left him restless, eager to discover who possessed it.
Floating outside the grand array of the Heavenly Palace, he gazed down at the ground. The aura of the Creation Spell allowed him to quickly pinpoint a figure below. In the moonlight, the figure appeared to be a young man, strikingly handsome, exuding the aura of the Mortal Separating Stage, and he was looking right back at Zhao.
Their eyes met, and they immediately sensed the energy emanating from each other. It was the connection between Divine Spells, a sensation familiar to those who practiced them.
"Are you Jiang Fann?" the practitioner asked, evidently recognizing Jiang Fann. According to Chen Yuan and others, Jiang Fann had been practicing the Chapter of Pill Dao and should have already mastered its basics. The Divine Spell's power radiating from Jiang Fann was unmistakable.
However, Jiang Fann's response was unexpected. He rose into the air, fixing his gaze on the other, then extended his hand.
"Hand over the remnant scroll, and leave the Heavenly Palace now. As for your plans to attack Myriad Clouds Mountain, I will let bygones be bygones."
The monk looked at Jiang Fann with surprise, then a hint of amusement crossed his face. "Kid, I've seen arrogance, but never like yours. Asking me for the remnants of a Divine Spell? What makes you think you can?"
Jiang Fann didn't respond immediately. He stared at the monk, showing no intention of backing down. "Then let me see the power of your Divine Spell!"
With that, Jiang Fann vanished in an instant. His speed was astonishing, catching the monk off guard. Even at the eighth level of the Reincarnation Realm, he lost track of Jiang Fann.
But in the next moment, he sensed Jiang Fann rapidly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him. A flash of red light appeared, and the monk swung his fist towards it. In the next instant, a figure emerged, and their fists collided with a massive explosion, engulfing them in a cloud of dust.
The next moment, a figure was sent flying out of the dust—it was Jiang Fann. He felt a sharp pain in his fist, and his blood was boiling. The monk's physical strength was far superior to his own, and his power was overwhelming.
Before Jiang Fann could regain his footing, he saw the monk charging out of the dust, heading straight for him with an aura that showed he had no intention of holding back.
The massive explosion from their clash had already alerted those at the Heavenly Palace. People were clearly shocked that someone dared to fight at the foot of the mountain, a place strictly forbidden for such battles.
The experts from the Heavenly Palace immediately sensed the unusual aura. The impact of a battle between masters of reincarnation is immense. Jiang Fann employed the Great Arts of Five Elements, aware that relying solely on physical strength would not make him a match for his opponent. This adversary was putting considerable pressure on him.
As the cultivator named Zhao caught up, he swung his fist directly at Jiang Fann. But this time, Jiang Fann vanished, evading the strike, and reappeared at Zhao's side. The power of the immortal gold formed into a long blade, sweeping horizontally to strike his opponent.
The cultivator's arm glowed with a golden light as he blocked the attack, shattering the immortal gold conjured by the Great Arts of Five Elements. A look of wild joy spread across the cultivator's face.
"Chapter of Body Arts!"
