Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3479: The Observance Heaven City

Jian Chen paused in front of the Hole of Reincarnation and answered the sword spirits secretly, “Don’t worry, I’m only taking a look from here. I’m not actually going to enter it.”

“After all, if I do enter it, there’s a chance that I can never emerge again. Who knows whether I’ll live or die. I still have all those ties in the Saints’ World, so why would I take such a great risk for nothing? On top of that, it is completely meaningless danger.”

“That’s good then.” The sword spirits eased up. They were clearly filled with fear towards the Hole of Reincarnation. They continued, “However, the Hole of Reincarnation is far too mysterious after all. It’s not a good idea for master to be so close to it. What if something else happens and it sucks you inside?”

“Master, for the sake of safety, let’s keep our distance from it.”

Jian Chen nodded and backed away slightly. However, he still had an urge in him, the urge to enter the Hole of Reincarnation and investigate.

But in the end, he forcefully suppressed this urge because the Hole of Reincarnation was far too mysterious. He did not know whether he could really reincarnate, whether he could really change his fate, but he did know that this was definitely a demonic hole that could devour all people that entered it. Every single person who set foot inside had never emerged again.

He bore a heavy burden on his shoulders. He was the only hope of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It was completely impossible for him to enter the Hole of Reincarnation.

At this moment, countless streaks of light shot over from the distance, ripping through the darkness as they rapidly moved towards the Hole of Reincarnation.

Together with them were numerous immortal vessels of various sizes.

“The Hole of Reincarnation has produced reincarnation Qi again? Dammit, why was it premature this time?”

“Sigh, I missed an opportunity to absorb reincarnation Qi for nothing. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have left back then. I should have stayed here.”

“This is an opportunity that only occurs once every three thousand years. I actually just missed out on it like this.”

“Dammit, I only left three years ago. I thought there would be another two thousand years until the next eruption. In the end, it erupted again in just three years’ time.”

......

…

The immortals that arrived afterwards gathered near the Hole of Reincarnation. They were all filled with regret.

Jian Chen turned around. All he saw was a meteor that was not particularly big floating quietly in the distance. The meteor was covered in buildings and palaces. It had already been turned into a place where immortals gathered.

This place of gathering existed because of the Hole of Reincarnation. The reincarnation Qi erupted once every three thousand years, so it obviously attracted the immortals from across the Immortals’ World. As a result, most immortals who had specially come to absorb reincarnation Qi would spend their waiting time on the meteor in temporary dwellings.

As time went on, the meteor gradually showed signs of developing into a bustling city.

Jian Chen did not stay near the Hole of Reincarnation for too long. It was impossible for him to wait three thousand years until the reincarnation Qi erupted again.

He left and continued on his way with the Laws of Space, crossing the vast outer space alone. He traversed thousands of stars, and after two days, he finally arrived at this destination, the Reverent Observance Heaven!

Before him, an extremely colossal fragment of land floating quietly among the sea of stars.

It encompassed an extremely large area, far greater than the Grand Sovereign Heaven. In the Saints’ World, there was not a single great plane or planet that could rival it.

Jian Chen hovered there and stared at the continent before his eyes. He smiled faintly.

After a series of twists and turns, he had finally arrived at the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ location, the Reverent Observance Heaven!

“There are over a hundred immortal regions in total on the Reverent Observance Heaven. When our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was most prosperous, we obviously occupied the largest immortal region in the centre of the Reverent Observance Heaven. The immortal region was known as the Sword Region of Violet Heavens. It was territory that specially belonged to our sect.”

“Apart from the Sword Region of Violet Heavens, the dozen or so neighbouring immortal regions all answered the call of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It was absolutely no exaggeration to call all the organisations located in these immortal regions subsidiaries of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens never had the wild ambition to rule, or we would have unified the Reverent Observance Heaven a long time ago,” the sword spirits said.

After over three millions years, even the two sword spirits became rather excited when they saw this familiar place again.

But shortly afterwards, they seemed to recall something and said rather sadly, “Unfortunately, that’s all a matter of the past. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens no longer possesses that kind of glory.”

“And after three million years, even we don’t know how the Reverent Observance Heaven has turned out. However, there is a special city called the Observance Heaven city. The Observance Heaven city was named after the Reverent Observance Heaven. It bears the fortunes of the entire heaven. As long as the Reverent Observance Heaven is not destroyed, the Observance Heaven city will stand for eternity.”

“As a result, you can go to the Observance Heaven city and investigate the situation first, master.”

As soon as the sword spirit said that, Jian Chen vanished. He teleported away with the Laws of Space. With just a few steps, he was already standing on the Reverent Observance Heaven.

A mountainous wall appeared before him. It stood thirty thousand metres tall, plunging into the clouds. It was extremely grand.

Three simple words filled with the tremendous aura of ways were engraved on the wall, giving off a desolate presence of age.

Observance Heaven City!

“A sovereign god artifact?” As he stood before the Observance Heaven city, Jian Chen widened his eyes. He noticed with a single glance that the so-called Observance Heaven city was not a regular city at all. Instead, it resembled a sovereign god artifact.

Zi Ying explained the situation to Jian Chen. “That’s correct, master. The Observance Heaven city can indeed be treated as a sovereign god artifact. However, it’s a rather special one. The origins of Observance Heaven city can be traced back to the previous aeon. It was a peak god artifact forged by a Grand Exalt of the Immortals’ World in the past. Afterwards, before he perished, he refined the Observance Heaven city through his paramount powers, merging it with the Reverent Observance Heaven in the end.”

“As a result, the Observance Heaven city and the Reverent Observance Heaven are basically one entity. It bears the fortunes of the entire heaven. As long as the Reverent Observance Heaven remains, the Observance Heaven city will stand for eternity.”

“But ever since then, the Observance Heaven city was rooted here forever, never to move again. It cannot be taken away like other god artifacts.”

“The person with the greatest authority in the Observance Heaven city is the city lord. However, the city lord of the Observance Heaven city changes once every ten thousand years. Every ten thousand years, the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven city will set up a test. Anyone can participate. Only by passing these series of tests can they become the city lord.”

“But throughout history, all of the city lords have possessed a cultivation of at least the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt!”

“However, once they become the city lord of the Observance Heaven city, they will indirectly wield the Observance Heaven city’s power. Beneath Grand Exalt, basically no one can threaten them.”

“That’s because the Observance Heaven city is very special. It may be a sovereign god artifact, but it’s merged with the Reverent Observance Heaven, so declaring war against the Observance Heaven city is equivalent to declaring war against the entire heaven.”
