Both Li Xudong and Yang Fan, these two Divine Ability Realm Grand Elders of Mirage Palace, wore extremely grim expressions on their faces.
Because the words spoken by this handsome young man in plain white clothes were far too arrogant, almost bordering on insult.
"Imperial Law Elder Shang not only oversees the Supreme Imperial Law Court of Mirage Palace, but is also the greatest pillar supporting the inheritance of our Weaving Dreams Tower at present. How could he possibly meet with you just because you ask to see him?"
Li Xudong could barely contain his rage, his voice sharp as he spoke.
If not for the fact that both he and Yang Fan couldn't gauge this person's depth, they would have already started suppressing him by force.
"If the two of you won't let me see Imperial Law Elder Shang, then..."
Chen Yan said calmly, then slowly lowered his gaze to the charred corpse fragment lying on the ground:
"What do the two of you plan to do about Grand Elder Jing's matter?"
Yang Fan's face was so dark it practically dripped with gloom.
But he couldn't see anything at all.
This was only natural. What cultivator who could train up to the Upper Three Realms wasn't wise enough to rival a demon?
To actually want to see Imperial Law Elder Shang...
This matter had indeed exceeded what the two of them could handle. After all, the other party's cultivation level could basically be confirmed to be above the Divine Ability Realm.
Chen Yan could naturally guess what these two Grand Elders of Mirage Palace were speculating about his current cultivation realm.
After all, the information gap was right there.
If Chen Yan were placed in Li Xudong and Yang Fan's position, he would probably make the same speculation.
Seeing that Li Xudong and Yang Fan were still hesitating, Chen Yan decided to add more fuel to the fire, giving them a good fright.
"I'll say it again. Have Shang Ao, Imperial Law Elder Shang, come speak with me."
Chen Yan's voice grew more serious compared to the earlier calm, as if he had lost patience.
The moment his words fell, the surrounding air seemed to freeze completely.
Li Xudong's temple veins pulsed, Yang Fan's fingertips curled slightly, and the vast mana within their bodies had already cycled to its peak, yet neither dared to act rashly.
The other party's attitude was clear to the extreme: either call for someone, or fight. There was no third path.
The current scene seemed on the verge of spiraling out of control at any moment.
Chen Yan naturally felt the terrifying aura radiating from these two Divine Ability Realm cultivators before him.
He knew very well that no matter how good he was at bluffing, he was still just a Unity Realm cultivator in the seventh realm.
If he used the Great Derivation Art to derive Immortal Qi, he might be able to trade one-for-one with a single Divine Ability cultivator, but that was already his limit.
After all, shattering all his meridians could at most allow him to unleash a single strike of Immortal Qi.
As for Dao Union cultivators who had already established their Dao Bases, Chen Yan had little chance against them.
Chen Yan understood that before he stepped into the Immortal Ascension Realm and built an Immortal Platform atop his Dao Base, his meridians could not withstand Immortal Qi.
If he used it, he would die.
Unless he had Wind Ravine Valley's Nine Revolutions Chaos Heaven Tempering Meridian Pill.
If he fought these two Divine Ability cultivators in the sky head-on, Chen Yan would face only one outcome—
A reset.
Chen Yan had no intention of taking risks, because every death and Save-Scumming came with certain risks, as well as Karmic Backlash.
Although Chen Yan couldn't sense Karmic Backlash at the moment, he knew that as he continued loading saves again and again, the accumulated cause and effect would eventually catch up to him.
These two Divine Ability cultivators of Mirage Palace were highly likely to choose to fight him.
Therefore, instead of using the Great Derivation Art to forcibly channel Immortal Qi and engage in a doomed battle with these two, Chen Yan chose a more appropriate method—
The wind and clouds shifted suddenly, and the vast spiritual energy in the sky began to converge.
But it wasn't a violent vortex. Instead, it was an almost submissive, slow, and solemn gathering.
Sensing the anomaly, Li Xudong and Yang Fan instantly elevated their mana to its peak, their spiritual senses locked firmly onto Chen Yan, almost ready to strike and interrupt this unknown technique.
Yet, that spiritual energy carried no hint of killing intent. Instead, it exuded an indescribable aura that forced them to suppress the impulse to attack, their hearts filled with even greater shock and suspicion.
In the end, this spiritual energy from heaven and earth condensed into three clusters of brilliant, pure light before Chen Yan, then began to slowly coalesce into physical form.
A vast, ancient aura that suppressed all laws and pierced through all illusions began to spread.
Although those three clusters of pure light had not yet fully taken shape, Li Xudong and Yang Fan, these two Divine Ability Realm great powers, seemed to have already sensed something.
It was the lingering resonance of the immortal path!
The fury that had blazed in Li Xudong's eyes completely dissipated, and Yang Fan's expression was no longer as gloomy as before.
Instead, both of them showed looks of shock.
Three immortal artifacts!
This young man in plain white clothes had actually conjured three immortal artifacts out of thin air!
These three immortal artifacts circled around Chen Yan: a mottled rusted iron lamp, a bone-white wheel of neither metal nor jade, and a pitch-black banner that seemed capable of devouring everything.
The three immortal artifacts floating silently beside Chen Yan didn't emit any violent power.
But their mere existence seemed to already be faintly interfering with the laws of heaven and earth in this world.
The reason Chen Yan derived three immortal artifacts was because conjuring three was already the limit of what he could currently achieve.
Just like before, Chen Yan couldn't fully activate the immortal artifacts unless he destroyed his meridians and forcibly derived Immortal Qi.
But there was no need for that. Just deriving these three immortal artifacts was enough to achieve the desired effect.
Chen Yan slowly reached out and caught the mottled rusted iron lamp floating in the air. The moment the lamp fell into his palm, the lingering resonance of the immortal path rippled slightly.
Li Xudong in the sky couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
This Divine Ability Realm great power was now very nervous.
What kind of heaven-defying technique was this, to be able to forge immortal artifacts like this?
The humiliation Li Xudong and Yang Fan had felt earlier had completely vanished.
Because they now felt that this young man in plain white clothes... no, Senior's request was not excessive at all.
They truly weren't qualified to engage in conversation with him.
In fact, Yang Fan felt that even if Imperial Law Elder Shang came, it still wouldn't be enough.
Even the first Ascending to Immortal in Mirage Palace's history, Mirror Moon Realman himself, would have to speak respectfully to this Senior.
When did someone like this suddenly appear on the Chenping Continent?
These two Divine Ability Realm Grand Elders were both quite puzzled, but at the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing they didn't fight; otherwise, Jing Bai's fate would now be their own.
Yang Fan dared not show the slightest hesitation or negligence. He first made a deep bow toward Chen Yan, then took out from his storage treasure a communication jade talisman worth twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones that could transmit a message from any point on the Chenping Continent to any other point, and infused it with spiritual energy.
The jade talisman emitted a faint buzzing sound, then shattered completely.
"Yang Fan of the Supreme Surveillance Court requests Imperial Law Elder Shang to come here in person!"
Yang Fan announced in a clear voice.
