Chaotic Sword God

In the distance, the Celestial Sword Saint who never moved suddenly opened his eyes. He turned around and looked at Jian Chen sitting within the raining sword Qi as his old eyes became extremely deep.

“He has actually comprehended a way at such a level. He treats the universe as his ‘immortal’ to become a Sword Immortal and reach the Primordial realm. This is clearly on the level of the Ultimate Way of the Sword.”

“Now that he has grasped the Ultimate Way of the Sword, his powers of the Laws of the Sword will be greater than other Sword Immortals. Moreover, he has used the boundless cosmos to lay down his foundations, so his future potential is unlimited. If he successfully matures, he’ll reach the peak. He’ll definitely stand at the apex of the universe…”

The Celestial Sword Saint murmured in a voice that only he could hear. He stared at Jian Chen in the distance, as if he wanted to completely understand Jian Chen’s ins and outs. Only a while later did he murmur softly, “He has only just reached the Sword Immortal realm, yet he has developed already a basic affinity with the ‘way’. He can influence his surroundings with his will and change nature. If this child successfully matures, he really does hold the potential to become a Sword God in the future. It’s just a pity that he cultivates the Chaotic Body. Even if he reaches the Sword God realm and stands at the apex of the universe, his cultivation will never be able to catch up to his comprehension.”

Several hours later, the storm subsided, and the sky cleared up. Jian Chen did not leave the mountain. Instead, he remained seated where he was, silently consolidating his level of comprehension and comprehending the various wonders that came with the Sword Immortal realm.

Only on the third day did he rouse. This day also happened to be exactly three years since he had entered the Sword God Mountains, not a single day more or less.

Not only was the Celestial Sword Saint forceful with his ways, but his temperament was also rather strange as well. When he let Jian Chen stay here for three years, he forced him to stay the entire three years, not a single day more or less.

Today was the day when Jian Chen would leave.

“Thank you for your guidance, senior, allowing me to reach the Sword Immortal realm.” Jian Chen stood behind the Celestial Sword Saint again and bowed towards him deeply.

“The three years are up. Go. Leave the Sword God Mountains. From now onwards, you have nothing to do with me,” the Celestial Sword Saint said without looking back. He remained still like a statue.

“Farewell. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely return senior’s kindness.” Jian Chen left after he completed the bow.

“You will face a crisis of life or death. No one can save you from this crisis. Whether you can survive will be up to your own luck. Do your best.” When Jian Chen descended from the mountain, the Celestial Sword Saint’s voice rang out in his head.

“A crisis of life or death?” Jian Chen paused. The light in his eyes flickered. He knew the Celestial Sword Saint was not one to tell lies. Since he had said that, it meant that Jian Chen would truly face a crisis.

Moreover, he knew that the Celestial Sword Saint was not referring to the current situation.

“Is it really like the sword spirits said? I will face a crisis?” Jian Chen thought before shaking his head. He knew that peak experts were unable to peer into anything about him. Although the Celestial Sword Saint was very powerful, he was still unable to do that.

“It looks like the Celestial Sword Saint possesses a peak god artifact like the twin swords or the Primeval Divine Hall. If that’s the case, the artifact spirit of the god artifact saw a glimpse of my future.” Jian Chen found that it made sense the more he thought about it. After all, he had learnt from the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s body of clouds that the Celestial Sword Saint had obtained the Three Lives Sword God’s legacy. It only made sense for him to possess a peak god artifact.

Jian Chen gradually made his way into the distance.

The Celestial Sword Saint stared at Jian Chen as his aged eyes became extremely profound. He said, “He still doesn’t understand that the true crisis is right beside him. However, so what if he does understand? He can’t change anything at all. I can only hope that he survives…”

The artifact spirit sat within a secret space within the Tower of Radiance. His eyes would clear up at times and become murky at other times. An expression of struggle would flash across his face from time to time.

The artifact spirit was currently locked in an intense struggle against the thoughts from the lingering consciousness in the Tower of Radiance.

Clearly, his situation now was far more severe than in the past.

This was because he had fused with too many memories from the lingering consciousness, allowing the lingering consciousness to gain a greater and greater influence over him.

“Three years have already passed, but I still haven’t found the memory that can release the protector swords. Master, I can’t help you…”

…

Experts gathered outside the Sword God Mountains. Not only did all the peak experts from three years ago arrive, but even more peak experts had hurried over from various places across the Saints’ World after Jian Chen’s true identity had been exposed.

As a result, there were quite a few more peak experts around the Sword God Mountains compared to three years ago.

They were dispersed around the surroundings, and they looked at the Sword God Mountains with fear. None of them dared to set foot within the mountains.

Tu San of the Heaven-splitting clan happened to be among them.

However, his gaze towards the Sword God Mountains was much more fearful; there was even some dread.

He was someone who had arrived at death’s doorstep three years ago. If the Celestial Sword Saint wanted to kill him, his soul would have been destroyed with that stroke.

It was also from then on that he gained a deep understanding of the terrifying level the Celestial Sword Saint’s strength had reached.

As a result, he currently stood far away from the Sword God Mountains.

“Tyne of the God clan actually isn’t here. It looks like she retreated after master showed himself. But that does make sense. Apart from being undefeatable on the Godnigma Plane if they draw themselves up like a turtle, how can the God clan fend off our Heaven-splitting clan?” Tu San observed his surroundings with the senses of his soul, and he sneered inside.

At the same time, the projection of the Martial Soul Mountain descended once again in outer space. Under Hun Zang’s lead, all the members of the Martial Soul lineage gathered together and stood in formation.

Hun Zang stood on the projection and stared at the tremendous plane of land that hovered in outer space with shining eyes. Although he had learnt from Jian Chen that something major would happen on the Desolate Plane, Hun Zang still brought the entire Martial Soul lineage just in case. He was preparing for the worst case scenario.

“There are even more experts this time. Even if we break a soul sword, it probably won’t be of much use,” the man called Chu Jian said sternly on the Martial Soul Mountain.

“Let’s observe the situation from here first. We can’t interfere unless the situation becomes critical. It’ll probably be different this time,” said Hun Zang.

Jian Chen’s figure slowly appeared near the boundary of the Sword God Mountains. He was making his way out.

He did not try to disguise himself because he knew that all his methods of hiding would be useless before these peak experts.

Mo Tianyun’s mask could only conceal his true appearance and presence. However, it did not make him undetectable to the senses of the soul.
