Chaotic Sword God

“Welcome to the World of Moon and Star. The World of Moon and Star is a medium-sized miniature world containing incomplete yin and yang and the five elements. It is called the World of Moon and Star because there’s only a single star and moon in this world. There is no sun…”

An old voice rang out from in front of them just as everyone was studying the World of Moon and Star curiously.

A bald old man sat before everyone. His appearance was nothing special, but he was extremely skinny. Even though he wore a set of large white robes, people were still able to see his stick-like figure.

“Greetings to elder He Tian!”

Donglin Yanxue, Gongzhang Xin, Xin Bin, An Da, and Shi De all became polite and bowed towards the old man.

Many of the Radiant Godkings present knew nothing about the old man’s identity. On the other hand, as the five candidates had the right to enter the sacred hall and come in contact with the elders very often, they knew many of them.

The protectors behind the candidates all bowed to show their respect after learning of the old man’s identity.

Elder He Tian waved his hand and said, “Don’t, don’t. Don’t use these etiquettes with me. I’ll tell you the situation of the World of Moon and Star in detail now.

Elder He Tian continued, “Even though the World of Moon and Star is a medium-sized world, it is extremely vast. Even with the senses of my soul, I can only envelope a tenth of the World of Moon and Star.”

“A few vicious beasts live in the World of Moon and Star. Due to the special environment here, the vicious beasts have very limited intelligence. Many of them have great strength but have yet to become self-conscious. They completely act based on instincts…”

“Before you came here, the elders have already screened through the vicious beasts in the World of Moon and Star. They’ve killed off all the Primordial realm beasts, so the remaining vicious beasts here are late Godkings at most…”

“All of you candidates will take a medallion. When you face life-threatening danger, immediately activate the medallion. No matter how far away you are, I will be able to sense the location of the medallion immediately. Then I can come save you. However, once the medallion is activated, it will mean your elimination from the competition for Chosen Saint…”

“Alright, I’ve said everything. You can set off by yourselves now. Obtaining more Radiant Origin Pearls than the others will be up to your own luck. The gateway will open once again in a year’s time, and at that time, you just need to gather here…”

Elder He Tian sat on the ground without moving at all. He solemnly passed on this information before waving his hand and dispersing everyone.

Afterwards, the five candidates left the mountain with their protectors. They did not travel together. Instead, they each chose a different direction to head off into.

Even though there were many Godking level vicious beasts in the World of Moon and Star, the candidates showed no fear at all.

This was because most of their protectors were Radiant Godkings, and their battle prowess was extremely great. They were Hallowed Saint Masters known to be invincible among those of the same cultivation level. With so many Hallowed Saint Masters, they were confident about putting up a fight against even peak Godking beasts.

“Chang Yang, you’re the weakest here. Remember, you can’t run around recklessly. None of the vicious beasts here are something that you can handle,” at this moment, Donglin Yanxue suddenly turned her head and said to Jian Chen. She looked at Jian Chen’s face, which seemed ordinary due to his disguise, with her dark, beautiful eyes. Her gaze contained undetectable mixed feelings.

Ever since she met Jian Chen for the first time beside the Moon’s Reflection Lake, she had felt that Jian Chen was always at ease and filled with confidence. He was mature and composed, the type who would not panic even if the sky collapsed. His bearing differed greatly from those so-called prodigies she saw from day to day.

Moreover, whenever she saw Jian Chen, his gaze towards her would always remain tranquil. There were no emotions at all, completely different from the Radiant Saint Masters who pursued her. As a result, Donglin Yanxue had become certain that Jian Chen had approached her and even offered her a precious puresoul for the simple purpose of entering the Tower of Radiance.

After all, the Tower of Radiance was a holy land that all Radiant Saint Masters strived to enter. As a Radiant Saint Master, it only made sense for Jian Chen to want to enter the Tower of Radiance.

However, ever since Jian Chen took out vice-leader Xuan Zhan’s medallion, Donglin Yanxue’s doubts towards Jian Chen purposefully trying to get close to her sprang up again.

Coupled with her master’s explanation, Donglin Yanxue basically believed it firmly now.

Entering the Tower of Radiance with the vice-leader’s medallion was nothing difficult at all, so why did Jian Chen offer her a puresoul and go to such lengths to become her protector?

After all, she was only one of the five candidates. Even Donglin Yanxue was not completely confident about successfully becoming the Chosen Saint in the end.

Despite knowing this, Jian Chen still took such action. It became quite obvious to clever people that his actions were just to closen his relationship with Donglin Yanxue.

Jian Chen rubbed his nose when he heard Donglin Yanxue’s words. He was left speechless. He had never thought that someone only equivalent to a Deity would try to protect him.

However, Donglin Yanxue did not look at Jian Chen for very long. She shifted her gaze rather indifferently. After becoming certain that Jian Chen was just trying to get close to her, her heart became rather cold. Her distance from Jian Chen increased.

She found this to be very repulsive, and the upright image that Jian Chen had left in her heart through his various unconventional actions collapsed at that moment. As a result, she treated Jian Chen no differently from the other people who pursued her.

“Haha, junior Chang Yang, I, Yue Fan, am a little older than you, so I’ll just call you junior. You only need to follow behind junior Yanxue in the World of Moon and Star. You don’t need to worry about anything else. Leave it up to us…” said a protector beside Donglin Yanxue.

He was a middle-aged man and a mid Godking. Jian Chen knew a few things about his identity. He was the lord of the Cloud Mist Peak, Yue Fan.

His cultivation was even greater than Han Xin and Zhou Yuan’s.

“Haha, that’s right. Leave all the vicious beasts we come across to us. Junior Chang Yang, you only need to take good care of junior Yanxue…”

Added a few more protectors afterwards. They all smiled and treated Jian Chen politely or even respectfully.

Even though Jian Chen was the weakest of them all in terms of cultivation and needed the protection of others despite being a protector himself, none of the eight protectors dared to offend him seeing how vice-leader Xuan Zhan had supported him. They even tried their best to get close to Jian Chen.

They all knew that it must have been vice-leader Xuan Zhan’s secret arrangement for Jian Chen to become a protector, or it would have been impossible for him to make it past the obstacle of elder Mu Zhong.

The peak lords who thought they were experienced and insightful naturally knew the reason.

Jian Chen and the protectors exchanged a few pleasantries casually. Afterwards, he looked at Donglin Yanxue and said, “Can you sense where the Radiant Origin Pearls are?” Jian Chen asked because he could already vaguely sense a pulse that was extremely similar to Radiant Saint Force in a certain location up ahead.

The pulse was extremely obscure and wondrous. He could sense the pulse, but it was not because of how great his senses were. Instead, it was a result of the Laws of the Hallowed he comprehended resonating with the pulse slightly.

Donglin Yanxue looked ahead coldly and said, “You can’t even sense these Radiant Origin Pearls with the senses of your soul, so how can it be that easy to sense where they are?”
