Chaotic Sword God

Vaguely, he even developed the illusion that as long as he obtained the protection of this power, even dying would be infeasible.

However, the vitality left as quickly as it came. When Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had mostly recovered from his injuries, the vitality vanished. No matter how Immortal Exalt Tan Yu investigated it, he was unable to find any trace of presence. Seemingly, it had never appeared in the first place.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was shocked. He immediately felt like Jian Chen was even more difficult to see through.

“Source of Life, are you certain that you won’t leave behind any revealing traces with all these experts gathered here, including late Immortal Exalts?” Jian Chen communicated with the Source of Life secretly.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already recovered some strength over the years. Although it’s nowhere close to my peak condition, it’s still not something that any random person can detect.” The Source of Life guaranteed.

“Good!” Jian Chen smiled. He could clearly sense the changes in the Source of Life’s attitude. She had become more easy going, no longer as proud as before. She no longer looked down on him with scorn either.

Following the conflict involving Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, the wait became extremely peaceful. As people constantly arrived, more and more pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture were assembled.

All one hundred and eight pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture were about to be gathered.

“The Wind clan that dominates the Fierce Gales Heaven has actually sent people as well…”

“It’s said that the Mistress of Contrary Winds of the Wind clan has reached the peak of the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt a long time ago. So many years have passed already, so I wonder if she’s reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer yet…”

......

…

Jian Chen was alerted from his meditative state by a series of soft discussions. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people from the Wind clan.

The Wind clan had sent three people. They were a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt old man accompanied by two late Immortal Emperors. They wore the same clothes, and their faces were slightly cold.

A page of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture was in the possession of the First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt old man.

“These three people from the Wind clan look like they’re all entering!” Jian Chen studied the three experts from the Wind clan without raising any attention. A hint of cold killing intent that was difficult to detect flashed through the depths of his eyes.

Before long, three Immortal Emperors entered this place with a page of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. Two of them were mid Immortal Emperors, while the last one was a late Immortal Emperor.

Despite not being very powerful among this crowd, their arrival was warmly received by many of the Immortal Exalts.

That was because the three Immortal Emperors were from the Immortal Ascension sect of the twelve courts of heaven. The Laws of the Sword revolved around them all.

The three of them had clearly all comprehended several laws, and the Laws of the Sword was only one of them. They all grasped two ways at the very least, while the late Immortal Emperor had grasped three.

At the same time, the three ways had all been comprehended to the level of Immortal Emperor.

“Hmm? Look, it’s people from the Heavenly Star Palace…”

“As one of the twelve courts of heaven, the Heavenly Star Palace is actually also participating in the opening of the Skyscraping World this time. It’s as clear as day that they’ve come for the seed of ways…”

......

…

Only one person arrived from the Heavenly Star Palace. She was a talented young woman. She had a slender finger and wore a set of tight-fitting clothes, carefully outlining her beautiful and curvy figure. Her beauty was alluring, enough to enchant both flowers and the moon. She seemed to be out of this world.

She clutched an ancient sword in her arms. It was wrapped in cloth, obscuring its appearance. It was only possible to vaguely sense a supreme sword Qi of extreme sharpness from within.

As soon as the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace arrived, she stood in an empty region alone. Her face was devoid of emotion, and her eyes were extremely cold, giving off a sense of unapproachable coldness and nobleness.

“Hmm? That’s the presence of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. Ah! Dammit, why would the presence of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star appear here?” At this moment, Zi Ying’s voice of disbelief rang out in Jian Chen’s head.

Jian Chen shivered inside. As the sword spirit of a sovereign god artifact, there were not a lot of matters that could trigger an emotional response from Zi Ying, let alone becoming so excited over something called the “Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star”.

Jian Chen subconsciously looked towards the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace.

Coincidentally, the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace also snapped open her eyes and looked over directly at Jian Chen from afar. It seemed like she had sensed something, and her icy gaze had already become filled with shock.

“Master, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star has already sensed us. The ancient sword in the arms of the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace is the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star,” Qing Suo said in complete surprise, expressing a deep sense of helplessness.

“The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star has actually sensed you? Don’t tell me the ancient sword in the arms of the woman is also a sovereign god artifact?” Jian Chen was shocked. He subconsciously looked at the ancient sword wrapped in cloth.

That was because he completely failed to sense the presence unique to sovereign god artifacts despite being so close.

Apart from giving off powerful sword Qi, none of the Immortal Exalts present, including the late Immortal Exalts, sensed the presence of a sovereign god artifact.

“That’s right. The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star is indeed a sovereign god artifact, wielded by the greatest expert of the Heavenly Star Palace. But why has it ended up in the hands of an Immortal Emperor now?” Zi Ying said in doubt.

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. Apart from the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance, only the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, and elder Nong knew about the existence of the twin swords.

Now, it probably would not take long before the twin swords were made known to the upper echelon of the Heavenly Star Palace.

In particular, from the woman’s strange expression, she had clearly learnt this secret from the artifact spirit of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star already.

“She’s a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, yet she carries the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Star Palace with her. What exactly is her status in the Heavenly Star Palace?” Jian Chen was filled with curiosity. He understood that some sovereign god artifacts were able to sense one another, just like how the twin swords had been discovered in the Observance Heaven City back then.

Even the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race was unable to hide this.

“Caijian, I didn’t expect you to come here. Has your father been well recently?”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in white clothes that gave off a scholarly presence silently appeared in front of the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace with a gentle smile.

He was the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster!

“Greetings, uncle Illusion-condensing. Thank you for your concern. My father is well!” The woman from the Heavenly Star Palace stood up and greeted the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster extremely politely.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s gaze paused on the cloth-wrapped Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star momentarily before leaving after a short conversation.

With his identity, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster had actually personally greeted the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace, which immediately made many of the Immortal Exalts present concentrate on her again.

She was from the Heavenly Star Palace, one of the twelve courts of heaven. However, even if she possessed a startling background, that was nowhere near enough for the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster to personally walk over and greet her with her strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

For a moment, everyone began guessing at the woman’s identity.

However, the woman known as “Caijian” completely ignored all of their gazes. Her eyes were cold, and her face was devoid of emotion. She seemed completely unapproachable. However, when she glanced towards Jian Chen in the distance every now and then, there would be a hint of surprise and hesitation.

After deliberating for a while, she suddenly stood up and strode over with the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star in her arms, making her way towards Jian Chen.

Her actions piqued the attention of many experts present. Even the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster who sat on an immortal vessel looked over in surprise. He followed her gaze and locked onto Jian Chen.

“That’s strange. With Caijian’s personality, why would she take an interest in an unknown man for no reason?” The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster was filled with doubt. He could not help but study Jian Chen closely.

Jian Chen clearly noticed Caijian’s actions as well. As he looked at the woman in white who paced towards him steadily, he furrowed his brows heavily. If she directly exposed the existence of the twin swords here, it would be extremely detrimental to him.

Under everyone’s gazes, the woman who carried the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star in her hands stopped ten metres away from Jian Chen. Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at Jian Chen.

Afterwards, she simply stood there and stared at Jian Chen. She remained cold-faced and without blinking, nor uttering a single word.

“Fellow, is there anything I can help you with?” Jian Chen stood up and clasped his fist reluctantly.

“The Sixth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor? Is that your true cultivation?” the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace asked.

When he heard that, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster in the distance also frowned. He stared at the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace in surprise and doubt.

“Of course!” Jian Chen replied.

“Too weak!” The woman shook her head gently with a hint of disappointment.

“I am indeed a little weak compared to you, fellow.” Jian Chen smiled wryly. He roughly understood what she was saying. She probably thought he was quite unworthy of the twin swords with his strength.

“What is your name?” the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace then asked.

“Yang Yutian!”

“If I want to find you in the future, where should I go?” the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace said.

However, when she said that, many of the experts present immediately looked at Jian Chen with strange gazes.

Even Immortal Exalt Tan Yu beside Jian Chen glanced at him with deep meaning.

However, the woman from the Heavenly Star Palace ignored the gazes of all others. Her cold eyes were fixed on Jian Chen without any emotions.

“I have no fixed residence. I wander through the Immortals’ World. Finding me will be very difficult, I’m afraid,” Jian Chen said.

The woman from the Heavenly Star Palace did not say anything more. After hearing that, she directly turned around and left.

“Fellow, you already know my name, but I still don’t know how to refer to you.” Jian Chen smiled gently, but he relaxed inside. Fortunately, she knew how to behave and had not directly exposed the existence of the twin swords.

The woman paused. With her back towards Jian Chen, she hesitated slightly and deliberated for a few seconds on the spot before saying emotionlessly,” Xing Caijian!”

Xing Caijian was an extremely unfamiliar name to Jian Chen.

However, when the surrounding Immortal Exalts heard the name, they shuddered inside.

“Xing Caijian. She’s actually Xing Caijian…”

“Five hundred thousand years ago, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and Venerable Cajian of the Immortal Sect of Sacred Fire from the Plain Subtlety Heaven tied the knot. They gave birth to a daughter ten thousand years later, naming her Xing Caijian.”

“Xing Cajian… Xing Caijian… I never thought she’d actually be the daughter of a heavenly emperor…”

“Her father is the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, while her mother is the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, Venerable Cajian. S-she truly has been born into a family of experts. She cannot be trifled with, she can never be trifled with…”

Many Immortal Exalts present were shocked, quite startled by her background. Some of the seniors even warned their juniors immediately to never provoke Xing Caijian in the Skyscraping World.
