Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3420: The Golden Core of Laws

“How can I not understand that, senior Feng? However, in a world like the Saints’ World where the strong prey on the weak, it’s far too easy to be affected by the storms without sufficient strength. Even though mother’s status in the Radiant Saint Hall is very special, she’s a little too weak with her strength as a Deity.”

“High grade Godking pills are useless on Radiant Saint Masters. Mother wielding a protector sword is the only idea I can come up with right now. With a protector sword by her side, she won’t have to worry about those crooks anymore. She’ll be able to protect herself with her own strength. As for the series of karma brought on by the protector sword, what can’t you solve as long as you’re strong enough?” Jian Chen said.

“If you insist, I’ll pass on this message for you.” The Wind Venerable left with the imprint that Jian Chen had condensed from sword Qi. In an instant, he crossed through the vast outer space and appeared on the Desolate Plane. With a flash, he directly passed through the protective formation of the Radiant Saint Hall and stood outside the Tower of Radiance.

The Radiant Saint Hall was covered with powerful formations, but none of them seemed to exist in the Wind Venerable’s eyes.

The Wind Venerable stood outside the Tower of Radiance silently and studied it. He murmured, “The main purpose of Ancient Paths’ formation is to seal the Tower of Radiance here. Without the strength of a Grand Exalt, it’s completely impossible to take the Tower of Radiance away through this formation. That can indeed ensure that this sovereign god artifact won’t be stolen by others while the Radiant Saint Hall is weakened.”

With a step, the Wind Venerable directly passed through the formation guarding the Tower of Radiance and entered the world inside.

As soon as the Wind Venerable entered the Tower of Radiance, the artifact spirit sensed it. Its illusionary figure appeared before the Wind Venerable silently, bowing towards him politely.

“This message comes from your master. Take a look at it yourself.” The Wind Venerable cut right to the chase, directly passing Jian Chen’s sword-shaped imprint to the artifact spirit.

“It’s from my master?” A hint of doubt and suspicion appeared in the artifact spirit’s eyes, instinctively accepting it.

The imprint contained a strand of the power of Jian Chen’s soul, so as soon as the artifact spirit accepted it, he began a mental conversation with Jian Chen.

A while later, the sword-shaped imprint in the artifact spirit’s hand completed its task and faded away slowly. The artifact spirit was emotional as it said with a trembling voice, “Master didn’t actually die. He’s actually still alive. Hahaha, I knew my master wouldn’t die so easily.”

“Jian Chen wants his mother to inherit a protector sword. Are there any difficulties with that?” the Wind Venerable asked nonchalantly.

“There are no difficulties. Since it’s direct instructions from my master, I have to complete this mission perfectly. I can’t leave him disappointed.” The artifact spirit patted his chest. Choosing the masters of the protector swords had always fallen under his authority.

The Wind Venerable nodded. “You definitely cannot let the Saints’ World find out that Jian Chen is still alive. Jian Chen trusts you very much, but I’m still worried, so before Jian Chen leaves, I’ll leave a strand of the force of the world here.”

“I’ll be watching you constantly through the force of the world until your master leaves this world.”

The Wind Venerable sent a strand of force of the world into the artifact spirit’s body before it could say anything. Even though the Tower of Radiance was a sovereign god artifact, it was nowhere close to returning to its peak state, so it could not resist the Wind Venerable at all.

Everything that happened afterwards proceeded smoothly. The artifact spirit summoned the protectors through their protector swords first and told them to bring Bi Yuntian into the Tower of Radiance.

Afterwards, the artifact spirit appeared. Even though it did not treat Bi Yuntian as respectfully as it did with Jian Chen, it was still very polite.

In the next moment, a column of light fell from above, turning into a holy sword that shone with white light, hovering before Bi Yuntian.

“Madam, I originally wanted you to become the wielder of the greatest protector sword, Godslayer’s sword, but Godslayer’s sword is far too powerful. It’ll be difficult for you to control it seeing how you’ve only just reached Godhood, so I can only give you the protector sword that ranks seventh for now, Waywalker’s sword.”

“Waywalker’s sword is not as great as Godslayer’s sword, but it will be easier to control. You can grasp the Godslayer’s sword once you become a Radiant Godking, madam,” the artifact spirit said.

When Xuan Ming, Bai Yu, and Donglian Yanxue heard what he said, they all felt envious.

“Let me inherit a protector sword? T-that might not be appropriate. It might even lead to the discontent of other Radiant Godkings or even elders.” Bi Yuntian was taken aback. She was completely overwhelmed by the good news.

She had already spent a few years in the Radiant Saint Hall. She understood what the protector swords represented.

“Hehehehe, the reason why we could all inherit the protector swords is due to your son. Fellow Bi, there’s no need to worry about anything. After all, no matter who ends up wielding the protector swords, it’s not something that the people outside can decide with their discussions. It’s completely up to the artifact spirit and your son’s will.” Xuan Zhan smiled gently, treating Bi Yuntian as an equal.

“Auntie Bi, you don’t have to worry about the people outside. If anyone is unhappy, we’ll beat them up together,” Bai Yu and Donglin Yanxue added.

Thanks to their persuasion, Bi Yuntian’s worries finally vanished completely. Afterwards, everything proceeded smoothly. Bi Yuntian formally became the sixth protector of the Radiant Saint Hall. Her status was completely consolidated, standing above the vice hall masters.

......

After learning that Bi Yuntian had become the sixth protector, Jian Chen returned to secluded cultivation on the Martial Soul Mountain in satisfaction.

Under his constant efforts, he became more and more familiar with the Soul-viewing technique and the Soul-gathering technique. He could use them more and more skillfully too.

Afterwards, he took note of a few other auxiliary secret techniques that he believed to be rather decent and used secluded cultivation to comprehend them too.

Jian Chen spent year after year cultivating on the Martial Soul Mountain. This was the longest period of time he had spent in seclusion since he embarked on the path of cultivation.

After who knew how many years, Jian Chen achieved mastery over all the secret techniques he had chosen. He could use them freely.

As he comprehended the secret techniques, he found inspiration in the Laws of the Hallowed as well, so he went from the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime to the Seventh Heavenly Layer.

“I’ve already grasped all the secret techniques. I still have ample time remaining, so it’s time for me to deal with all the golden core of laws.” Jian Chen opened his eyes in the place of legacies and carefully sensed with his soul. He saw several golden cores condensed from laws floating there silently.

In an even more well-hidden spot, seven tiny specks of light shone dimly.

Each speck of light represented a powerful willpower, containing the power of souls at an extremely high level.

Jian Chen began to pay attention to the seven tiny specks of light. Having reached his current level of cultivation, his senses were more powerful than ever before. Now, he could clearly sense that the seven tiny specks of light were absorbing the power of his soul at an extremely gradual rate.

If his cultivation were not sufficient, he could not even sense the power of his soul getting drained.

“Looks like you’re still very weak, so I’ll let you be for now. You can recover slowly.” Jian Chen focused on the seven tiny specks of light for a moment and sneered slightly before turning his attention to the golden cores of laws.
