Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2682: An Enormous Group

Jian Chen knew that when He Qianqian asked him to join the Heavenly Crane clan this time, she was not inviting him to accompany her group temporarily. Instead, it was an invitation to truly become a member of the Heavenly Crane clan.

However, Jian Chen had no interest in the Heavenly Crane clan. He wanted to join their group to enter the World of the Fallen Beast to get close to her and slowly learn about the situation on the Ice Pole Plane from her.

What he wanted to learn about was connected to matters that were far too great. It was not as simple as just fairy Hao Yue. It involved the person behind the Moon God Hall where fairy Hao Yue used to reside, Nan Potian, and the even more terrifying peak expert behind Nan Potian, the Flame Reverend!

Nan Potian and the Flame Reverend were both dangerous figures who threatened his sister, Changyang Mingyue.

As a result, for the sake of her safety, he needed to be careful.

The Flame Reverend was just far too terrifying. He was a vicious person who even dared to ambush the Anatta Grand Exalt. Someone like that would obviously be extremely skilled at peering into the heavenly secrets, so Jian Chen needed to handle any and all matters regarding the Polar Ice Plane with extreme caution. He was afraid of leaving behind even the slightest trace, which would allow someone as powerful as the Flame Reverend to uncover everything.

As a result, Jian Chen dared not ask about the Polar Ice Plane directly, much less visit any information brokers. What he wanted to know touched on great secrets, so careless investigation would instead attract the attention on those with malicious intent.

For the sake of his sister’s safety, he did not dare to take any risk.

As a result, Jian Chen declined He Qianqian’s invitation without a second thought.

As she looked at Jian Chen’s determined expression, He Qianqian understood that winning him over was no longer possible. She could not help but become slightly disappointed.

“If that is the case, I won’t force you to do anything. Our Heavenly Crane clan will be entering the World of the Fallen Beast with many other peak organisations from the Saints’ World in three days’ time. We will be led by the young master of the Dire Wolf clan this time. All the organisations and clans need to cooperate with each other, so go prepare.”

“The World of the Fallen Beast isn’t very peaceful right now. Danger has multiplied, so you need to be ready for bloodshed.” He Qianqian treated Jian Chen slightly colder now, no longer behaving as enthusiastic as before. She could not even be bothered to add anything else unnecessary. She turned around and left without even looking back after that.

Jian Chen did not mind. He Qianqian would be entering the World of the Fallen Beast anyway. Coupled with the unrest in there, he believed that he would have many opportunities to come in touch with her.

As a result, he was in no hurry to ask He Qianqian about the Polar Ice Plane. He would wait until they entered the World of the Fallen Beast.

Afterwards, Jian Chen was taken to the resting quarters by a guard. The region was an extremely special place in the divine hall because there was nothing there aside from closely packed rooms.

It was slightly dark in there. The decor was simple, and it was quiet. The many rooms were arranged in an orderly manner, numbering as many as over ten thousand.

“This is the card to your room. There’s a number of there, which records the place where you can temporarily stay in. Go to your room with your card. Don’t blame me for not warning you. This is the divine hall of the Heavenly Crane clan. The artifact spirit is in control of everything here at all times. If you decide to make trouble here, or if you set foot in places where you don’t belong, the artifact spirit will kill you without any mercy,” the guard who led the way for Jian Chen said coldly. Then he passed a jade card to him before leaving.

Jian Chen looked at the many rooms. He could vaguely sense the presences of Godhood cultivators from each room. Most of them were Gods, with only a few Overgods. There was not a single Godking.

He had already guessed that these people had probably been recruited by the Heavenly Crane clan just like himself. These cultivators would supplement their forces that would be entering the World of the Fallen beast.

All of these cultivators remained in their rooms and cultivated in seclusion, adjusting their conditions. None of them wandered about.

Jian Chen looked at the card and found his room quickly in the very depths of the resting quarters. Perhaps due to being a Godking, the room he was allocated to was clearly much larger.

In the following three days, Jian Chen also remained locked up in his own room. He devoted himself to comprehending the Way of the Sword. He was very skilled, having comprehended many laws, but with his current battle prowess, any breakthroughs in the other laws would bring about no significant increase to his battle prowess. Only with a breakthrough in the Laws of the Sword would he be able to reach a whole new level.

So far, his Laws of the Sword remained at the minor achievement of Sword Immortal. Once he broke through and reached partial achievement, not only would his Laws of the Sword attain a new calibre, his Chaotic Body would be affected as well. He would be able to reach the fifteenth layer of the Chaotic Body.

“I obtained the fleshly core of the dark gold ape king, Gusta. The energy hidden within it is so terrifying that I can easily break through with my Chaotic Body if I reach partial achievement with my Way of the Sword.”

“As a matter of fact, I won’t even use up all the energy in there by breaking through to the fifteenth layer. The energy is so immense that it can easily provide me with enough energy to reach the sixteenth layer,” thought Jian Chen.

In recent years, he had constantly been making progress after he reached Sword Immortal. Even though it was not enough for him to reach partial achievement, it did push him along, making constant progress to partial achievement.

As a result, Jian Chen’s current Way of the Sword was much more powerful than when he broke through in the Sword God Mountains. His comprehension was much deeper as well.

The three days passed by in the blink of an eye. The artifact spirit of the divine hall alerted everyone. Jian Chen then felt a powerful energy from the divine hall, and in the next moment, he had been sent outside.

The people sent out with him included the other cultivators who had been recruited by the Heavenly Crane clan; they had also been cultivating in the divine hall.

“Time’s up. Get ready to set off. This time, I will personally lead you all into the World of the Fallen Beast.” He Qianqian appeared in the air. She was stern, and she gave off an icy-cold presence. Her bearing was lofty and cold, almost unapproachable.

She only gave a simple reminder about a few matters to be careful about before leading the several thousand cultivators into the centre of the square in a grandiose manner. They hovered in the air below the entrance to the World of the Fallen Beast.

The entrance had been completely taken over by the peak clans and organisations of the Saints’ World right now, temporarily obstructing any other cultivator from entering.

Several hundreds of thousands of people were gathered below it. These people were all split into several dozen groups. They all occupied a region, quietly hovering below the entrance.

The several thousand cultivators led by He Qianqian seemed completely inconspicuous among the several dozen groups.
