Chaotic Sword God

After leaving the mountain top, Jian Chen returned to his dwelling. He closed his eyes and sank into his thoughts there.

Aside from Mo Tianyun, no one else knew he had become a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore.

He knew from Han Xin that as long as he exposed his identity as a Hallowed Saint Master, the selection of the Chosen Saint would immediately be annulled, and he would directly become the current Chosen Saint. After that, he would receive the unconditioned nurturing of the Radiant Saint Hall for the next millennia.

Once he became the Chosen Saint, there would be no difficulty in him entering the Tower of Radiance. He would no longer have to go through all the troubles required for an opportunity to enter the Tower of Radiance.

But at the same time, he would become the centre of attention if he became the Chosen Saint. He would be someone that everyone paid attention to and talked about in the Radiant Saint Master. Naturally, many people would investigate him.

Although he had Mo Tianyun’s mask right now, the mask was only enough to obscure his true identity from most experts. Once he accidentally created a hole in his story, it would be impossible to ensure that observant people would not realise that his identity was fake through these traces.

It did not matter too much if his Martial Soul Force was exposed. At most, he would just flee from the Radiant Saint Hall. However, if his other identity was exposed, it would not be as simple as escaping from the Radiant Saint Hall.

As a result, Jian Chen became very hesitant about whether he should become the Chosen Saint of the Radiant Saint Hall.

However, Jian Chen’s face changed in the next moment. He suddenly looked towards the sky, and his gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the rock above him, allowing him to see the world outside.

He could clearly sense the senses of an extremely powerful soul sweep across the territory of the Radiant Saint Hall without any disguise at all. It basically scoured every inch of the land there.

In the next moment, a powerful formation rose up, enveloping the entire territory of the Radiant Saint Hall.

This was the Radiant Saint Hall’s protective formation. It was extremely powerful. The senses of the soul that had swept through the Radiant Saint Hall had activated the formation.

Jian Chen’s heart sank slightly. He made his way out of his dwelling and looked at the screen of light created by the formation. He fell silent.

The screen of light flickered from time to time. Every flicker represented the fact that it had stopped the invasion of the powerful senses of a soul. From how many times it had flickered, it seemed to have stopped over ten of them.

“The Radiant Saint Hall will be closing its gates temporarily. All disciples are forbidden from going out during this time without the permission of an elder.” At the same time, an ancient voice boomed out like a great bell, resounding through the entire Radiant Saint Hall.

Jian Chen looked towards the origins of the voice. He saw that in the distance, a black-robed old man who stood with his arms behind his back in the sacred hall beyond the clouds. He was the one who had called out sternly.

“An expert with a soultree!” Jian Chen immediately sensed the old man’s cultivation, and he discovered that this old man had surpassed the seven-colored soulcore and condensed a soultree. That was equivalent to Primordial realm experts among fighters.

“It looks like the people searching for the Anatta Tower have come to the Desolate Plane,” Jian Chen thought. At that moment, he could not help but feel glad about the mask from Mo Tianyun, or his identity would have probably been completely exposed from the senses of the soul earlier.

Afterwards, Jian Chen remained in seclusion. He comprehended the Radiant Artes he had received from Han Xin and also spent a lot of effort in studying the changes to his soul. He did not emerge, maintaining an extremely low profile.

The seclusion this time lasted half a month. During that time, everyone’s attention shifted away from the defeat of a Radiant Saint Master with a three-colored soulcore to Chang Yang who had a one-colored soulcore because the Radiant Saint Hall was closed off.

During that time, Bai Yu regularly paid visits to Jian Chen’s dwelling, pestering Jian Chen to teach her his tricks to using Radiant Saint Force. She constantly called out to him as senior brother. However, Jian Chen did not become annoyed at all.

Jian Chen did have a good impression of Bai Yu. When the four people from the Snowfall Peak came to make trouble for him, Bai Yu was the only person willing to step forward and help him on the Soaring Clouds Peak. At the same time, she was the only person who had truly cared for him. As such, Jian Chen truly accepted her like his younger sister.

“Senior brother, senior brother…” At this moment, the protective formation outside Jian Chen’s dwelling fluctuated and Bai Yu ran in, huffing and puffing.

Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Bai Yu calmly and asked, “Junior sister, what has happened that has made you so hurried?”

“Senior brother, I just returned from the main peak, and I heard an astonishing piece of news from there,” Bai Yu said excitedly.

Jian Chen was interested. He asked, “What news?”

Bai Yu took in a breath and said, “Senior brother, you always spend your time in seclusion, so you probably don’t know about the huge matter that has happened on the Desolate Plane. I only just heard the envoys mention it on the main peak. They said that many peak experts have gathered on the Desolate Plane. The arrival of these peak experts has made all the powerful organisations and clans on the Desolate Plane close their gates and restrain their clansmen and disciples as if they’re about to confront a huge enemy.”

“It’s said that these foreign peak experts can easily throw the Desolate Plane into turmoil. But do you know why they’ve all come?”

“Senior brother, you probably won’t believe it even if I tell you. All these peak experts have come to the Desolate Plane just to find a Godking called Jian Chen.”

Bai Yu sat down on the ground in an unwomanly manner as she sighed in amazement, “Heavens. I really never thought that so many peak experts would come personally just for a Godking. I really do wonder what heinous crimes this Godking has committed to offend so many peak experts all at once.”

Jian Chen remained calm when he heard that. He said, “Junior sister, why are you so certain that this person called Jian Chen has committed heinous crimes?”

“Isn’t that obvious? If he didn’t commit heinous crimes, why would he have offended so many peak experts at the same time?” Bai Yu said naively. Afterwards, she said seriously, “But speaking of which, I really do admire this senior called Jian Chen because he’s able to avoid being detected while being hunted down by so many peak experts. That’s really impressive.”

Jian Chen fell silent. A while later, he suddenly stood up and said, “Junior sister, I need to go somewhere first. Once I return, I’ll teach you how to better control Radiant Saint Force.”
