Chaotic Sword God

“I discovered some sword techniques that belong to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Don’t tell me you handed these sword techniques to them?” Jian Chen asked.

“I did indeed give part of it to them, but I had no other choice back then either. Otherwise, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that they captured would face death,” said the old man.

“They even captured disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Jian Chen’s gaze sharpened. “Tell me about the exact situation back then.”

Afterwards, the old man began to narrate slowly, telling Jian Chen everything.

Jian Chen gradually gained a more precise understanding about the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from the old man.

Just as he had expected, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had indeed declined, and they had declined extremely severely.

During their peak, not only did the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens have a Grand Exalt, but they also had numerous Immortal Exalt ancestors. Every single Immortal Exalt was equivalent to a Grand Prime in the Saints’ World.

They even had almost a hundred Immortal Emperors.

However, that had all become a matter of the past.

During the age when the old man passed away, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already lost all of their Immortal Exalts. The strongest in the sect were three great elders that had reached Immortal Emperor.

He was one of them, a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor!

“Losing far too many experts during the war back then was definitely a factor behind why our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens declined so severely, but most importantly, we were targetted by many organisations in the Immortals’ World.”

“Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was far too wealthy. In the past, with the presence of a Grand Exalt, we were completely able to protect our wealth. However, ever since the Grand Exalt passed away and the many ancestors and great elders in the sect passed away, we no longer possessed the ability to protect what belonged to us. As a result, many organisations in the Immortals’ World turned their greedy gazes towards us.”

“Afterwards, experts of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens constantly perished due to various reasons. Some outstanding disciples in the sect also experienced accidents on their outings, while some of the wealth and resources that belonged to us was taken by other organisations in the Immortals’ World through various methods. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens declined with each passing day.”

“The three of us, the great elders, all knew that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would only face destruction if this continued, so in order to preserve the lineage, the three of us ended up agreeing on me secretly leaving the sect with a group of disciples and part of the legacies after a discussion. We planned to go elsewhere and develop there.”

“I made my way to the Grand Sovereign Heaven in secrecy, planning to found another sect here. This way, we could preserve things just in case something happened to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. However, chance always gets the better of us. After arriving on the Grand Sovereign Heaven, I was recognised by the three Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Region of Green Plains. They captured a group of disciples that had come with me and used them to coerce me, making me hand over the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’s legacies.”

“I obviously refused. Afterwards, the three Immortal Emperors changed what they demanded. They planned on exchanging the lives of these disciples for some mid to low level sword techniques and cultivation methods of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. These sword techniques were not exactly precious legacies of the sect, so I agreed to their demands and handed them over.”

“Sigh, and I had thought I could save the lives of these disciples with that. In the end, the three Immortal Emperors went back on their word. After receiving these things, they upped their demands further, continuing to threaten the lives of the disciples in exchange for greater legacies.”

“After all that, I had already noticed their motives. They planned on using the lives of the disciples as a bargaining chip to extort me step by step, attempting to obtain everything that I had with me gradually.”

“Afterwards, I ended up facing them in battle, but I was not their opponent. I ended up heavily injured. I did not even have the ability to escape. Out of despair, I could only set up the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation using the underground spiritual vein as a source and seal off the gate of life and gate of death, turning this formation into a death formation. Only then did the three Immortal Emperors begin to reconsider their actions, afraid to destroy the formation forcefully.”

“However, while the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation had stopped their advances, it could not put a stop to their ambition. Afterwards, they used the Laws of Curses to curse us through the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation, killing all the disciples in the divine hall beneath Golden Immortal. Even I could not last too long before the curse with my injuries.”

Reaching there, the old man sighed heavily. He said sorrowfully, “I brought them here originally to preserve some disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, just in case something happened to the main sect, but I didn’t imagine I’d harm them in the end, dooming them for eternity.”

......

…

“Ancestor, the Formation of Yin and Yang Inversion and the Formation of Cosmic Reversal have been set up.”

“Ancestor, the Divine Formation of the Flying Immortal and the Linear Rainbow Formation have been set up.”

“Ancestor, the Eighteen Standing Tablets Formation, the Heavenly Blade Formation of Immortal Destruction, and the Heaven-obscuring Formation of Illusionary Shadows have been set up.”

At the same time, the ancestors of the three organisations hovered above the mausoleum, staring into the depths fervently. Disciples constantly came up and reported to them from behind.

The Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum was already surrounded by numerous formations. Each formation shone with blinding light, possessing startling killing intent.

These formations served many functions. Not only were they capable of both attacking and defending, but they could even conceal themselves and seal up the space there, preventing anyone from escaping through secret techniques.

“Clear the mausoleum. Closely verify everyone’s identity,” the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Sect of Yuqing ordered coldly.

Afterwards, they began to clear out the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum. Everyone in there was ushered out. Several Immortal Monarchs personally watched the exit, scanning every single person with their sharp eyes.

In the air, the three Immortal Emperors also looked at the exit. The powerful senses of their souls swept past every immortal, just in case the others missed anyone.

“Hehe, I’m just going in to take a look. I’ve paid immortal crystals like everyone else. Look, I even have a jade tablet.” At this moment, the old man from the Water-splitting sect walked out and waved the jade tablet in his hand at the Immortal Monarchs.

“So it’s the Immortal Monarch of Mountains and Rivers. Immortal Monarch of Mountains and Rivers, since you were in the mausoleum, did you see who the person who entered the sword formation was?” an Immortal Emperor asked.

“I did see him, but I didn’t recognise him. From his presence, he seemed like a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. Do the three of you really need to go to such lengths against a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal?” The old man from the Water-splitting sect glanced at the surrounding formations rather fearfully. He was stern and pale.

If an Immortal Emperor ended up in these formations, even they would not be able to avoid death.
