Chapter 3218
Jian Chen accepted the black jade plate and immediately sent the senses of his soul inside. A secret technique appeared in his head.
He studied it closely, and very soon, his eyes lit up. He immediately discovered the benefits and the various uses of this secret technique.
The secret technique was just as the Darkstar Emperor had said. It could open a small space within his soul, something akin to a miniature world, which bore the properties of a Space Ring.
The size of the miniature world was connected to the strength of the soul. The stronger the soul was, the larger the miniature world was.
The space could hold various resources and items. Its function was extremely similar to Space Rings, but it possessed another function that Space Rings did not.
It would be very difficult to take away any of the items stored within the soul space by force. Even if his body were destroyed, the items in the soul space would remain as long as his soul was intact.
Aside from that, the items stored in the soul space would be even more well-hidden than in a Space Ring. Even if he encountered experts stronger than him, they would still be unable to see the soul space as long as they were not capable of seeing through his soul in a single glance.
If it were a Space Ring instead, then it would be very easy for experts to see all the belongings stored in there if they were capable of penetrating the concealing formations cast on Space Rings.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn top of that, it was extremely easy for Space Rings to be stolen. Whether it was losing the body, losing an arm, or just losing a finger, that all came with the risk of losing a Space Ring.
If he had a soul space and stored all of his valuables in there, then that would not be a concern at all.
“This is something good. It is indeed of great use to me.” Jian Chen’s eyes shone brighter and brighter. He immediately understood the value of this secret technique. Without any exaggeration, once he grasped this secret technique, it was equivalent to gaining an indestructible warehouse. He would not have to worry about anyone stealing his treasures anymore. No matter what he had been reduced to, his treasures would always accompany him.
That was unless his soul dispersed, but that was true death!
“The ten droplets of essence blood and the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits’ spine are all items the peak organisations of the Saints’ World covet. If you just store them in your Space Ring like normal, you can’t be too sure if anyone will discover it. I might not be as powerful as you, but I’ve still lived for all these years after all. Both my insights and knowledge far surpass yours. I know some special races in the world or some people with unique abilities that can directly search through Space Rings without any obstruction.”
“As a result, it’s not safe for you to store these items in your Space Ring. Once you catch the attention of a Grand Prime, can you still hang onto them?” the Darkstar Emperor said sternly.
The Darkstar Emperor’s words made Jian Chen sink into his thoughts. There were very few organisations that still possessed the courage to provoke him given the Tian Yuan clan’s current reputation, but there were always exceptions. There would always be fearless and lawless people no matter where or when.
WIth his current strength, he was completely capable of protecting them from Chaotic Primes.
However, what if he encountered Grand Primes?
Ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood and the spine of a sovereign was so tempting that it was enough for many Grand Primes to risk their lives recklessly.
After all, not all the Grand Primes of the Saints’ World had clans and organisations behind them. Some independent cultivators that were not tied down by anything would not have so many qualms.
In particular, when it came to some of the more powerful Grand Primes, they had far too many methods to rob a Space Ring without drawing any attention even if they did not show themselves.
“Looks like I really can’t keep the essence blood and the sovereign’s spine in my Space Ring. It’s not just those items either. I need to store the God Tier heavenly resources I obtained from the Xuanhuang Microcosm in a different way too.” Jian Chen had some worries. The Darkstar Emperor’s advice had set off alarm bells for him, making him raise his guard against those Grand Primes.
If they were regular God Tier heavenly resources, they naturally would not attract Grand Primes, as they were not enough for them to take action.
However, once it crossed a certain threshold, it would be completely different.
“I only managed to retrieve these two items when I opened the bronze lamp this time. Despite that, my body was still destroyed. Jian Chen, we’ve done all that we can to fulfil your needs. I only hope that you don’t let down the expectations we’ve placed on you.” The Darkstar Emperor stared at Jian Chen sternly.
Jian Chen stowed the plate of black jade away and stood up. He bowed deeply towards the Darkstar Emperor. “I will never forget the kindness your race has shown me. I will definitely pay you back in folds in the future if it’s within my ability.”
Taking the plate of black jade with him, Jian Chen left the Darkstar Divine Hall. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the mountain where he had spent several centuries refining pills. He began practising the secret technique recorded in the plate of black jade.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Once I open the soul space, that will be when I leave the Darkstar World,” Jian Chen thought. According to his original plan, he would leave the Darkstar World as soon as he got his hands on the ten droplets of essence blood.
However, the Darkstar Emperor’s warnings and the jade plate’s appearance delayed his departure once again.
Wisps of clouds and mist curled at the top of the mountain. Jian Chen’s figure shimmered as a result, which made him seem like an otherworldly sage.
He had already entered a state of cultivation.
In the Darkstar Divine Hall, the Darkstar Emperor’s illusionary figure sat on the throne. Meanwhile, the ten hall masters who had just completed the tasks that came after opening the altar stood side by side outside.
As soon as they entered the Darkstar Divine Hall, they noticed how the Darkstar Emperor was in soul form, which immediately left them shocked.
“Your majesty, your body…”
“W-what happened, your majesty? Why have you lost your body?”
“Don’t tell me it’s Jian Chen. Dammit, just what did he do?”
The ten hall masters all cried out. Their expressions changed drastically as they rushed into the hall.
“It has nothing to do with Jian Chen. My body was destroyed by the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits,” said the Darkstar Emperor. Only after an explanation did the ten hall masters finally learn about what had happened.
“We’ve already given him the ten droplets of our ancestor’s essence blood. We’ve completed what we promised, yet you still ended up with your body destroyed just to retrieve the items in the bronze lamp for him. Your majesty, is this really worth it?” The first hall master was pained by this sight. He did not believe it was worth it at all as he gazed at the Darkstar Emperor in soul form.
