Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3490: Joining the Sect

Immediately, the surroundings were silenced. All the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals beneath the ring stared at Jian Chen dumbfoundedly. All of their discussions came to a halt.

The Lightning Master was bold enough to directly challenge Jian Chen, so he obviously was not weak. Moreover, he had grasped the Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Lightning. Even if he was not invincible among his peers, he definitely ranked towards the top.

Yet in the end, he had been defeated with a single attack. All of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals who personally witnessed Jian Chen’s strength became extremely shocked.

“So powerful. This person called Jian Chen actually possesses such terrifying strength.”

“Even more unbelievably, God Tier Immortal Techniques can be unleashed so quickly in his hands. There was basically no charge-up at all.

“Yeah, he used a God Tier Immortal Technique so quickly. If it weren’t for the fact that his presence and cultivation both match up with a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal’s, I’d suspect that there’s an Immortal Monarch standing in the ring.”

Very soon, many sighs of amazement rang out from beneath the ring. All of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals gathered here looked towards Jian Chen fearfully.

They were not the only ones. Even the core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in charge of these elimination battles looked at Jian Chen with a similar level of solemnity.

The immortal vessel from the Immortal Sect of Sword Control had not left yet. It remained hidden in the clouds, above the entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. They brazenly watched the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ recruitment process.

Qiu Jian, who had stolen the two disciples with nine stars of talent from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, currently stood on the immortal vessel. He stared at Jian Chen with a similar level of seriousness. He had already begun to frown deeply.

“This person probably has half a foot planted in the realm of Immortal Monarch already. He can actually unleash a God Tier Immortal Technique with such speed. Even though it’s just the weakest of its kind, it’s still enough to show how extraordinary this person is,” Qiu Jian murmured. There was some fear in his eyes.

His cultivation was also at the peak of Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal and he also knew a God Tier Immortal Technique of the weakest level, but it was impossible for him to unleash it so quickly.

“Senior uncle Qiu, should we report this person back to the sect so that we can investigate his origins?” a Xuan Immortal asked carefully beside Qiu Jian.

Qiu Jian shook his head. “That won’t be necessary. Someone like him must be a prodigy raised by another organisation. He’s probably come to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens this time in search of an opportunity to reach Immortal Monarch or for some kind of other help. There have been far, far too many cases of this over the years. There’s no need to waste the resources of the sect over small matters like this.”

“And, if he has a great backing, even if our Immortal Sect of Sword Control does everything we can to investigate, we probably won’t be able to find anything.”

“In short, it’s best if we don’t offend these auxiliaries recruited from outside without proper reason. After all, while some of these people are indeed independent cultivators, without any background or anyone to rely on, there are also some people from various organisations across the Immortals’ World.”

“But senior uncle Qiu, even you’ve said that some of these auxiliaries come from large organisations. Should we even properly investigate the cultivations of these auxiliaries anymore? What if an Immortal Monarch disguises himself as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal and is instead exposed by us? Wouldn’t we have offended them to death with that?” the Xuan Immortal beside Qiu Jian said softly.

“Investigate them. Of course, we have to investigate them. As for Immortal Monarchs that may be from large organisations, you have nothing to worry about at all. They don’t have the courage to do that. If they’re exposed, they’ll be the ones who had broken the rules first. They’ll be the only ones who end up unlucky.” Qiu Jian sneered. “In short, it all boils down to this. Within the rules, we can do whatever we want. Even if we make a colossal mess, there’ll be people above watching over us.”

“If it’s beyond the rules, then we’ll have to use our judgement and act carefully.”

......

…

Below, in the ring, Jian Chen sat a metre in the air with his eyes shut, preparing for others to challenge him.

Apart from his ring, the nineteen other rings had people on them too. Because some of the people in the rings demonstrated strength that was far too great, they were the same as Jian Chen, waiting leisurely.

The other dozen or so rings experienced raging battles. The challengers replaced those who were challenged again and again.

“These people all practise extraordinary cultivation methods and possess extremely great talent. Their backgrounds are anything but small.” Jian Chen glanced at the rings nearby and sank into his thoughts.

On the third day, the twenty spots of auxiliaries were finally confirmed. Jian Chen became one of them without any doubt.

But at this moment, Qiu Jian flew down from the clouds again. He hovered mid-air in a haughty manner and stared at the twenty auxiliaries in the ring with a strange smile. “Now, I will be representing the Immortal Sect of Sword Control again and using our sect’s god artifact, the Heaven Observation Mirror, to personally check your strength.”

“The Heaven Observation Mirror of our Immortal Sect of Sword Control is a medium quality god artifact. Before the mirror, let alone Immortal Monarchs, even Immortal Emperors will not be able to hide anything.

“Everyone, if there are any Immortal Monarchs hiding amongst you, please leave. Otherwise, once you are discovered by our Immortal Sect of Sword Control’s Heaven Observation Mirror, that won’t be very good.”

When they heard that, many of the auxiliaries in the rings immediately frowned.

“What a joke. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is recruiting, yet your Immortal Sect of Sword Control is gathering over here with so much interest,” a lady in black on one of the rings said coldly.

Qiu Jian cupped his fist with a smile and said, “Apologies. These are the rules. We’re only carrying out the rules of our sect.” With that, Qiu Jian formed a seal with his hands and began to summon the Heaven Observation Mirror of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control.

In the next moment, the space over Qiu Jian twisted, and a white mirror appeared, radiating with the might of a god artifact.

Jian Chen looked at the white mirror. He was unfazed. He recognised with a single glance that the Heaven Observation Mirror was a medium quality god aritfact. It seemed to be summoned over by Qiu Jian, but actually, there was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch controlling it from afar.

Qiu Jian shone the twenty auxiliaries one by one with Heaven Observation Mirror, checking their cultivations.

Under the Heaven Observation Mirror, if there really were some regular Immortal Emperors, they would truly have nowhere to hide.

However, Jian Chen wore the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race. Let alone the Heaven Observation Mirror, even some regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts could not see through his disguise.

Very soon, the Heaven Observation Mirror turned towards the woman in black.

“How dare you! You want to die?” The woman in black flew into a rage, radiating with powerful killing intent without any disguise.

“Apologies. These are the rules of my sect. If you refuse, please leave right now,” Qiu Jian said mildly.

The woman in black balled her fists as if she had just been deeply violated. She was extremely shocked. However, she soon thought of something and forcefully suppressed her anger. She shut her eyes and said nothing more.

“Apologies!” Qiu Jian smiled faintly and cupped his fist at the woman in black. The Heaven Observation Mirror scanned passed her without any hesitation.

Immediately, the woman felt like her entire body had been seen through, which immediately made her killing intent bubble inside. She was so furious that she began to tremble all over, but she ended up bottling it all up.

When Qiu Jian scanned a young man in red of striking appearance with the Heaven Observation Mirror, the young man opened his eyes and smiled at Qiu Jian. He said mildly as well, “Qiu Jian of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, is it? I’ve remembered you.”

Against these auxiliaries, Qiu Jian no longer behaved with the same arrogance as he did with the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He ignored the threat from the young man in red and made no response.

Very soon, the twenty auxiliaries were all checked by the Heaven Observation Mirror. Shortly afterwards, the mirror vanished, and Qiu Jian departed as a streak of light.

“Auxiliaries, please return to the sect with me. I will personally introduce you to the situation of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, as well as arrange places of cultivation for you.” The core disciple Jin Sang invited the twenty newly-recruited auxiliaries into the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens extremely politely.

“Take me to see your sect master!”

As soon as she entered the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the woman in black who was still furious from the situation earlier demanded coldly.

“Alright, I’ll have a core disciple take you to our sect master immediately!” Jin Sang did not hesitate at all. He immediately called over a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to personally lead the way for the woman in black.
