Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2458: A Stubborn Divine Hall

He had destroyed the Gloomwater sect. The Elder of Mountains and Seas was dead, the five great elders were dead, and he had even killed off most of the elders. The Gloomwater sect no longer existed on the Aqua Plane.

However, departed people could not return. The pretty face that once appeared before him and the beautiful figure that he once saw was gone forever. All that remained was an unforgettable memory in his head.

At the same time, a hazy figure shrouded by light sat within the depths of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. The light blurred his figure and appearance. Only a pair of ice-cold eyes were visible.

However, the space before him seemed to become a mirror, reflecting the Gloomwater sect on the Aqua Plane clearly. Jian Chen and Xu Ran happened to be standing there.

His cold, emotionless gaze sometimes stared at Jian Chen and sometimes focused on other things. When he heard Jian Chen’s voice, the cold, emotionless gaze wavered. He became rather stunned at that moment.

“Profound Sword Qi. I never thought Jian Chen would have grasped the Profound Sword Qi. That’s the old bastard’s greatest trump card aside from the fusion of the twin swords…” murmured the Bloodtear Grand Exalt to himself in a blood-red shroud on the distant Devour Plane.

“Moreover, Jian Chen has comprehended the Ultimate Way of the Sword. Out of the two great Sword Gods of the Immortals’ World, only the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt grasped the Ultimate Way of the Sword. Jian Chen now possesses the potential to become a Sword God. If he matures completely, it’ll be extremely likely for him to become a Sword God, and that happens to be enough to condense the ninth strand of Profound Sword Qi.”

“Once all nine strands are condensed, the Profound Sword Qi’s power will be world-shaking.”

“However, he has already become Anatta’s fruit of ways. He’s not fated to make it very far…”

The Bloodtear Grand Exalt murmured to himself.

After spending an entire day healing in the ruins of the Gloomwater sect, Jian Chen’s severed right arm was basically reattached now. His bones had reconnected. Even though it had not returned to its previous state, which prevented him from fighting like he usually could, it did not affect his movement.

Even the vicious wounds on his damaged body had mostly recovered. The missing flesh on his chest had regrown as well.

Of course, this was only the surface. He had been too heavily wounded this time. As such, even with the supreme regeneration of the Chaotic Body, he still struggled to make a full recovery in a single day. His wounds remained very heavy.

“I probably need half a month of recovery this time. Only then will I return to my peak condition,” Jian Chen thought as he inspected his wounds.

That was already astonishing enough. After all, if other experts suffered such severe wounds, it would have taken them several millennia or even several dozen millennia to make a full recovery.

However, Jian Chen only needed half a month!

Jian Chen stood up after that day and began tidying up the battlefield.

As a peak sect, the Gloomwater sect naturally possessed an extremely rich heritage. The various cultivation resources, countless battle skills, and cultivation methods were an astonishing wealth to Jian Chen. He obviously had to collect it all.

With a flash, he arrived before a huge pit a hundred kilometres away and leapt in.

Before long, the ground shook gently. The earth around the pit heaved, and a huge divine hall slowly rose out.

Jian Chen supported the divine hall from below with both hands, unleashing astonishing strength to lift the entire divine hall out from underground.

Boom!

The earth shook violently as Jian Chen tossed the divine hall onto the ground heavily.

“This divine hall is a medium quality god artifact, but it ranks towards the bottom among medium quality divine halls.” Xu Ran appeared near the divine hall as well. She studied it calmly and continued, “This divine hall is the only medium quality god artifact in the Gloomwater sect. All of their wealth should be inside it.”

“However, it won’t be easy for you to enter it. First, you need to gain the recognition of the artifact spirit and become the divine hall’s master…”

Jian Chen stood before the divine hall and stared at its entrance quietly. He had already expanded the senses of his soul, communicating with the divine hall’s artifact spirit.

“My master is the Elder of Mountains and Seas. My master died because of you, and you even destroyed the sect that master founded after so much difficulty. I will never accept you as my master…” said the artifact spirit coldly. It was extremely stubborn.

Afterwards, the entire divine hall began to shrink. It turned into the size of a thumb and flew away, arriving before an Infinite Prime who had been spectating the battle a hundred kilometres away.

“I want you as my master. I’m willing to accept you as my master,” said the artifact spirit to the middle-aged Infinite Prime.

The artifact spirit was not confused. He chose this middle-aged man who was only an Infinite Prime due to ulterior motives.

The middle-aged man’s status was rather great on the Aqua Plane. He was the current sect master of the Scorching Sun sect.

The Scorching Sun sect was a peak organisation that stood beside the Gloomwater sect. Their ancestor was also a peak expert who stood at the apex of the plane.

The artifact spirit of the divine hall would rather take someone else as his master than yield to Jian Chen.

A gleam of light shone through the eyes of the sect master. He did not agree immediately. Instead, he hesitated.

The medium quality divine hall contained all the resources and wealth of the Gloomwater sect. Even to the Scorching Sun sect, this was extremely tempting.

However, he was also wary about the orders that his ancestor had given him; the ancestor had ordered him not to get involved with the mess of the Gloomwater sect.

Many gazes gathered on him from the surroundings. Many people showed envy.

Some experts from peak organisations looked at the sect master in thought.

They had already received orders from their ancestors not to touch a single possession of the Gloomwater sect. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Gloomwater sect’s divine hall to remain here until now. It would have been taken away long ago.

Jian Chen did nothing. He stared at the sect master coldly.

He did not recognise the sect master, but since the artifact spirit had chosen an Infinite Prime to be his master, it meant that the middle-aged man possessed quite the status.

He wanted to see just how great of a deterrent the Point Cloud Venerable was on the Aqua Plane.

After hesitating for a while, the sect master of the Scorching Sun sect shook his head in the end. He declined the artifact spirit.

This was because he had received another message from the Scorching Sun sect’s ancestor.

“I have over ten droplets of hell water here. If you become my master and ensure that the legacy of the Gloomwater sect continues, all the hell water and resources will go to you,” the artifact spirit bellowed at the sky. He knew there were the senses of the soul from several peak experts there, so he wanted to tempt them with the hell water.

As expected, many powerful senses of the soul pulsed after hearing the mention of over ten droplets of hell water. Clearly, they were interested.

Hell water was simply too precious. It was enough to tempt them.

At this moment, Xu Ran snorted coldly. She arrived before the divine hall in a flash and pressed down on it with a hand. Terrifying energy surged and suppressed the divine hall.

The divine hall suddenly expanded, becoming several tens of thousand metres wide and long in a single moment. It surged with light as it used all the power in the divine hall to resist.

“I’m already a medium quality god artifact. I’m not that easy to subdue. Even if you can suppress me, I will never yield to you,” the artifact spirit called out stubbornly. Afterwards, he called out at the sky once again, trying to use the hell water to tempt the peak experts who stood at the apex of the plane.
