Chaotic Sword God

Jian Chen gazed at the depths of the mountains and continued, “And the reason for the lack of spiritual Qi around the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is not simply due to the missing spiritual veins. There are several sects that exist around the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. These sects have all set up extremely high quality energy-gathering formations. These formations have drawn away most of the spiritual Qi in the surroundings, leaving the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with very little.”

“Sigh, I never thought that even the spiritual Qi that the current Sword Sect of Violet Heavens provides to their disciples for daily cultivation would be leftovers.” Zi Ying sighed. The circumstances of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were truly unbearable. He did not dare to focus on it.

“The entire mountain range belongs to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It’s where the foundations of the sect lie. Not only have they occupied so much of the sect’s territory, but they’re even occupying the very entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. They’ve gone too far,” Qing Suo said indignantly. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past had been so glorious. Who had ever dared to infringe upon it?

Yet now, they could not even preserve the foundations of their sect, having been split up between a bunch of nobodies.

At this moment, several streaks of light shot over from the distance, landing at the entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the end.

There were a total of five people, an old man, two middle-aged men, and two rather beautiful young women.

They all wore different uniforms. They seemed to belong to different organisations, but they were all Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that radiated with a faint hint of sword intent.

They five of them were all sword cultivators.

Afterwards, the five of them casually sat down on a few rocks near the entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Looks like we’re the first to arrive.” One of the young women looked around before smiling gently.

“There are still three more months until the day of opening that occurs once every hundred years for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Let’s wait here for now.” The old man soon shut his eyes as if he had begun cultivating.

The four others paused on the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with their gazes. There was a hint of eagerness and mixed feelings on their faces.

“It’s said that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was extremely powerful in the past. When it came to just Immortal Exalts alone, they had several, but in the end, they’ve been reduced to such a miserable state, where they even have to recruit Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals from outside to maintain their normal operation.”

“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens may not have an Immortal Exalt right now, but they have several Immortal Monarchs. I’ve wandered the world for many years and have seen my fair share of organisations with Immortal Monarchs. Each and every one of them thrive without worry, enjoying a superior status. They have many mines and possessions under their control. However, this is the first time I’ve ever seen an organisation as poor as the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“There’s nothing they can do about it. After all, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is under the suppression of several great organisations in the surroundings. All their attempts at development have been restrained, so of course, they have it tough. To be honest, if it were not for the fact that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ condition was just too tempting, I really wouldn’t want to become connected to them. Who knows, it might end up provoking those great organisations that I can’t afford to offend.”

“Sigh, none of us are any different.”

As soon as they thought of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ current circumstances, the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals all sighed. They were all worried, feeling troubled about their futures.

“You clearly know that the current situation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is not particularly optimistic, yet you’re still willing to take on such a great risk to join them. May I ask what tempting condition the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has put forward such that you can’t decline and are willing to take on the risk?”

Right when the four of them were about to shut their eyes and rest, an elderly voice suddenly rang out, which immediately made them snap open their eyes again.

An old man with peppered hair stood nearby, radiating with the presence of an Immortal Monarch.

The old man was Jian Chen in disguise.

The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals immediately leapt up from the rocks when the Immortal Monarch appeared. They all arrived before the old man and bowed politely before saying carefully, “You may not be aware, senior, but the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has legacies left behind by Immortal Monarchs. There are also letters written by Immortal Emperors that have been passed down, which contain their comprehension. Let alone us Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, the letters by Immortal Emperors are extremely tempting even to some Immortal Monarchs. It’s exactly because of these points that we’re willing to take on such a great risk and join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“The legacies of Immortal Monarchs? The letters of Immortal Emperors? The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has put forward such tempting conditions just to recruit a few Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals?” Jian Chen asked in surprise.

“Yes, senior. It’s said that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ greatest standard for recruiting outsiders are Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. Immortal Monarchs cannot join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, or not only will the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens be in trouble, but even the Immortal Monarchs that end up joining them probably won’t meet a good end.”

“On top of that, even Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals who join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens afterwards like us must leave the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens within a century if we break through to Immortal Monarch. Otherwise, we would also face tremendous trouble,” a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal answered honestly.

Jian Chen frowned when he heard that. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and dismissed the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. Shortly afterwards, he silently vanished.

Several hundred kilometres away, Jian Chen sat in the canopy of a tree and zoned out in the direction of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“In three months’ time, it will be the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ once-in-a-century day of opening…”

......

The three months passed in the blink of an eye.

This was the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ once-in-a-century day of opening.

By day of opening, it meant the day of opening the sect and recruiting new disciples.

On this day, it was extremely busy at the entrance. A great crowd of people had gathered a long time ago. Many immortals had assembled here. Just the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals alone amounted to over a hundred. There were many more weaker Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals among them too.

The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals all levitated in the air. The people standing on the ground were the weaker Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals.

Earthen Immortals were equivalent to the Saint Rulers, Saint Kings, and Saint Emperors of the Tian Yuan Continent.

Human Immortals were Heaven Saint Masters and lower.

Without any exceptions, all of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals gathered here had come for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ legacies of Immortal Monarchs and letters of Immortal Emperors. Their attempt to join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was more of a deal than actually becoming disciples. Once they broke through to Immortal Monarch, they would leave within a century’s time.

The Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals were the only ones who truly wanted to join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens sincerely.

Their cultivations were low, and their knowledge was limited. As a result, being able to join an immortal sect with Immortal Monarchs was great glory to them.

“Tong’er, when the immortals of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens test you, you have to perform well. As long as you can join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, let alone having a chance at becoming a Heavenly Immortal in the future, you even have the slightest chance of becoming a Golden Immortal,” said a Heavenly Immortal couple to their child amongst the crowd below.

The child waved his fist and said with a face filled with anticipation, “You don’t have to worry, mum, dad. I definitely won’t disappoint you. I’ll definitely join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and become a Golden Immortal and free myself from the restraints of lifespan and achieve immortality.”

Golden Immortals were equivalent to the Deities of the Saints’ World. Only by reaching that realm of cultivation could they avoid the natural pattern of death and thrive with the world.
