Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2159: Samsara (Three)

“It’s a long story. Samsaric Immortal Exalt, please stay your hand and not harm our master,” Zi Ying pleaded. His voice was filled with respect.

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt strode over and arrived before Jian Chen. At the same time, his illusionary figure condensed from the power of samsara gradually gained flesh, blood, and life. It shone with the light of life, which surged like a tremendous ocean.

When the Samsaric Immortal Exalt arrived before Jian Chen, he had turned into an old man with flesh and blood. Silver draped to his waist, and he had a healthy glow to his face. His old eyes were profound like the vast cosmos. Six blurry discs of samsara seemed to revolve within them, containing the profound truths of the world. It was like he could peer through the mysteries of the universe and grasp the supreme laws.

As the Samsaric Immortal Exalt studied Jian Chen, Jian Chen also opened his eyes and stared at the Samsaric Immortal Exalt curiously. He felt extremely curious and much admiration towards the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, who was one of the five Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World.

This was because the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had destroyed the Daoist Sect of Neptunea alone. His strength was evident. He was truly a sovereign of the world, a supreme existence!

The first feeling that Jian Chen experienced from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt was that he seemed to be covered in an immortal presence. There was a sense of mysteriousness like he was shrouded in mist. It seemed like he could stand on the clouds. Even though he just stood there very casually, it felt like he had fused with the universe as the laws of the world.

However, when Jian Chen’s eyes met the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s, he immediately felt his head spin and his soul lose control. It felt like his soul was about to leave his body and be drawn away by the discs of samsara in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s eyes.

In shock, Jian Chen closed his eyes as soon as possible. He no longer looked at the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s eyes. Instead, he silently stabilised his soul.

“I never thought I’d meet the successor of that old guy in a foreign land. Sigh, it’s just a pity that you cultivate the Chaotic Body, so your future is destined to be limited. You probably can’t bear the burden,” the Samsaric Immortal Exalt stared at Jian Chen and signed gently as if he was extremely disappointed about Jian Chen’s Chaotic Body.

Naturally, Jian Chen could tell that he was disappointed in him as the successor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens because there were plenty of people who cultivated the Chaotic Body in the Immortals’ World, but no one had been able to become an Immortal Exalt throughout history. As time went on, it turned into a concept that the peak of the Chaotic Body was Immortal Emperor.

Even though the Chaotic Body was very powerful, known to be invincible among the same realm of cultivation and was even powerful enough to challenge those at a higher level of cultivation, Immortal Emperors would still be restricted by their cultivation. No matter how impressive or astonishing their battle prowess was, they were still an Immortal Emperor in the end. Before those supreme Grand Exalts that seemed to have become the laws of the world, they remained as puny as ants, unable to put up any resistance.

As a result, Jian Chen’s future was predetermined in the eyes of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. He believed it was impossible for Jian Chen to reach the same level of cultivation as the old master of the sword spirits.

“Samsaric Immortal Exalt, you must not underestimate our master. Our master isn’t as simple as you think he is. We believe the rumour that the Chaotic Body cannot progress to Immortal Exalt will be disproven by our master,” the sword spirits said confidently. They originated from yin and yang Qi, so they possessed certain innate advantages and abilities. From time to time, they could see secrets of the world that even Grand Exalts could not forecast. They knew Jian Chen was extraordinary.

“Senior Samsaric, there are some people here that are my friends. I hope you can show mercy and spare them this time,” Jian Chen was no longer affected by the power of samsara now. He stood up with great difficulty and bowed towards the Samsaric Immortal Exalt out of respect.

Currently, all the supreme Godkings in the surroundings had fainted with the appearance of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. Jian Chen was the only one who remained conscious.

“Don’t worry. None of them will die. I didn’t hide a sliver of the power of my soul in the Neptunean Divine Palace for all these years to deal with these kids,” said the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. Regardless of how monstrous a talent these supreme Godkings possessed, they still did not catch his attention.

“Senior Samsaric, may I ask how the Neptunean Divine Palace’s artifact spirit is doing now?” Jian Chen asked. He had many questions he wanted to ask. Whether it was about the Neptunean Divine Palace or the Immortals’ World, he wanted to understand them all through the Samsaric Immortal Exalt.

In particular, he artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace was the matter that Jian Chen cared about the most right now.

“The artifact spirit has only been temporarily suppressed by me. My original body is far away in the Saints’ World, so it’s impossible for me to kill the artifact spirit in a short amount of time with just a sliver of the power of my soul,” said the Samsaric Immortal Exalt.

Jian Chen was shocked. The Samsaric Immortal Exalt had only used a sliver of the power of his soul to become a god-like existence in the Neptunean Divine Palace. He could casually suppress the artifact spirit that possessed the power of the divine hall. If his original body had come, just how terrifying would he have been?

He could probably shatter the Neptunean Divine Palace with just a wave of his wand, crushing the artifact spirit between his fingers.

“Samsaric Immortal Exalt, may we ask how the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is doing right now? D- does it still exist in the Immortals’ World?” The sword spirits also asked. They were extremely nervous as if they were afraid of learning something they would struggle to accept.

Although they were only sword spirits, the twin swords were the sect treasures of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens after all. The sword spirits held a unique feeling towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt fell silent when the sword spirits mentioned the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

His response made the hearts of the sword spirits suddenly sink. Sorrow filled their faces. They asked in a trembling voice, “Has the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens ceased to exist?”

Jian Chen’s heart shivered from that. He felt nothing towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He had not even seen it before, but he was still the successor of the sect after all. If the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had really been destroyed, it would be difficult on him as well.

“Sigh,” the Samsaric Immortal Exalt exhaled gently. He shook his head, “The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens still exists, but the situation might not be very optimistic right now.” The Samsaric Immortal Exalt paused there and looked at Jian Chen. He said seriously, “If your identity still hasn’t been exposed in the Saints’ World, then it’s best for you to stay here for a while. Before you’ve become powerful, returning to the Immortals’ World rashly won’t turn out well.”

“Senior Samsaric…”

“Enough. We can talk later. I have even more important matters to attend to. These matters will affect the future of the Immortals’ World,” the Samsaric Immortal Exalt cut off Jian Chen. He was unwilling to talk anymore. Afterwards, he looked at the unconscious supreme Godkings in the surroundings and suddenly reached out.

With that, the space in the surroundings suddenly shrank up, having been affected. To Jian Chen’s utter disbelief, he saw threads of various sizes being drawn from the supreme Godkings. They all gathered in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hands.

“These… are threads of karma?” Jian Chen’s face immediately changed when he recognised the threads of energy of various thicknesses. Immediately, he arrived before Shangguan Mu’er and pointed at Ming Dong, Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye. He said, “Senior, these are all my friends. Please spare them.”

Although he knew that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt would not touch their lives, Jian Chen sensed an ill omen when he saw their threads of karma being drawn out.

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt looked away and stared at Jian Chen deeply. His face sank slightly, “They’re from the Saints’ World.”

“But not all people of the Saints’ World are enemies of the Immortals’ World. Moreover, some of them have extremely close ties with me, enough for me to risk my life to protect them,” Jian Chen said boldly and with determination. In reality, he had already become rather terrified. After all, he was facing one of the five Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World. Even if he was just a clone, Jian Chen still felt tremendous psychological pressure.
