Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3626: The Fourth Floor of the Sacred Land

“You can take out whatever you want without any worry. In this independent domain, even if the twin swords appear, you won’t attract any attention,” said the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City. Its voice was slightly mechanical, dull and cold.

Covered by the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City, Jian Chen, finally stopped worrying. In the next moment, a low grade God Tier heavenly resource with Xuanhuang Qi appeared in his hand.

He was aware that with the artifact spirit’s standards, regular items were unable to interest it at all. As a result, he was forced to take out heavenly resources from the Xuanhuang Microcosm.

Low grade God Tier heavenly resources were not particularly precious, but it did come from the Xuanhuang Microcosm after all. In terms of rarity and scarcity, they were not common in the Immortals’ World or the Saints’ World.

“I wonder just how much merit I would receive for a heavenly resource like this?” Jian Chen held the heavenly resource. He still felt rather uneasy, as he did not know whether the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City would be interested in this type of heavenly resource.

However, when the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City saw the heavenly resource in Jian Chen’s hand, a gleam of light immediately flashed through its emotionless eyes. It said in surprise, “Xuanhuang Qi! That’s not common in the Immortals’ World. Very few people will offer up a heavenly resource like that for merit either. Are you sure you want to exchange this heavenly resource for merit?”

“I do!” Jian Chen said firmly.

After a moment of thought, the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City said, “If it’s only a low grade God Tier heavenly resource, then you basically can’t redeem any merit from me. After all, master has set the rule that they must be mid grade at the very least to be accepted in exchange for contribution. However, your heavenly resource possesses Xuanhuang Qi, so it’s another story.”

“That’s because Xuanhuang Qi also has colossal uses to the Observance Heaven City.”

“In terms of exchanging it for time cultivating in the sacred land, this heavenly resource can earn you an additional fifty years of cultivation. If you want to enter a higher level, this heavenly resource is enough for you to reach the fourth floor.”

“Senior artifact spirit, since Xuanhuang Qi serves such great purposes to the Observance Heaven City, is it possible for me to directly use these heavenly resources to exchange for Stainless Qi?” Jian Chen asked after a sudden idea hit him. “If I can directly exchange it for Stainless Qi, then I can produce even more heavenly resources with Xuanhuang Qi.”

“You can’t. Stainless Qi can only be obtained through your own luck and fortunes or by stealing it from the hands of others. Apart from that, there’s no other way,” said the artifact spirit.

In the end, Jian Chen exchanged a low grade God Tier heavenly resource for the right to enter the fourth floor.

Afterwards, he left the stone pillar without any hesitation, vanishing from the third floor under various gazes from the people around him.

“He’s actually gone to the fourth floor. Looks like Immortal Emperor Chang Yang possesses quite a few valuables on him.”

“The price to enter the fourth floor is not cheap. The price even leaves the likes of us in pain, yet it didn’t even faze Chang Yang. Looks like he’s also had a tremendous fortuitous encounter and possesses a tremendous amount of resources.”

“Do you even need to elaborate? He is someone who’s won two million five-coloured immortal crystals after all. Those are five-coloured immortal crystals… Probably even if we pool all of our resources together, it won’t reach that sum.”

......

…

The Immortal Emperors seated on the six other stone pillars discussed with one another. They peered in the direction that Jian Chen had vanished off in with a hint of envy.

In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen had already arrived on the fourth floor.

There was one less stone pillar once again in the centre of the floor. There were only six now.

Jian Chen saw five familiar figures on the six stone pillars. They were Immortal Exalt Wei Qi, the Truepeer Immortal Exalt, Immortal Exalt Sha Xue, Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, and Immortal Exalt Ye Beifeng.

The five commanders of the Observance Heaven City were all gathered on the fourth floor.

As for the sixth pillar, it was occupied by an Immortal Emperor that Jian Chen had not seen before.

Apart from the six people on the stone pillars, there were also some other people scattered through the floor. There were Immortal Emperors, Immortal Monarchs, and even some Godkings.

Jian Chen’s gaze paused on the Godking soldiers slightly. He had already realised that these people definitely possessed status and had supreme experts behind them. Otherwise, how were they supposed to produce enough resources to enter the fourth floor?

At this moment, Jian Chen’s heart suddenly tightened. He could sense several sharp gazes on him. It was like knives pricking him, making his skin prickle slightly.

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi, Immortal Exalt Sha Xue, the Truepeer Immortal Exalt, Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, and Immortal Exalt Ye Beifeng all turned their gazes towards Jian Chen.

Immortal Exalt Wei Qi’s gaze was calm, while Immortal Exalt Ye Beifeng’s expression was mixed. As for Immortal Exalt Sha Xue, the Truepeer Immortal Exalt, and Immortal Exalt Ji Yun, their gazes were sharp like knives. The way they looked at Jian Chen was all slightly sunken.

Very clearly, the three of them held very deep prejudice towards Jian Chen.

Jian Chen looked past the five Immortal Exalts and subconsciously paused on the only Immortal Emperor on the stone pillars.

The Immortal Emperor had been paying attention to Jian Chen the entire time. Sensing Jian Chen casting his gaze over, he immediately became stern. The might of an Immortal Emperor erupted. His clothes began to flutter as the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of the Sword appeared at the same time, weaving into gorgeous light around him.

The Immortal Emperor was a middle-aged man. He gave off a haughty sense of dignity. He was extremely powerful as well. His Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Destruction had both reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor!

These two laws both ranked towards the top in terms of offensive power among the three thousand ways.

Jian Chen’s arrival had left him threatened. After all, five of the six people on the stone pillars were Immortal Exalts. He was the only Immortal Emperor.

“Settle down. If you actually end up fighting, you’re not his opponent. Chang Yang is healed by the life energy. Unless you exhaust all of his life energy, he’s basically unkillable,” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi communicated to the middle-aged man. Shortly afterwards, he looked towards Jian Chen and said, “Chang Yang, if you’re in urgent need of Stainless Qi, then I’d suggest you to venture as high as you can go. If you stay on this floor and end up unlucky, you won’t come across any Stainless Qi even in several tens of thousand years.”

“Moreover, there are the five of us on this floor. Once the Stainless Qi appears, you have very slim chances at obtaining it even if we all try to seize it and end up in an intense clash.”

“Since the competition here is so intense, why don’t you venture higher instead?” Jian Chen answered with a question.

“Because it’s not necessary. With our cultivations, a small amount of Stainless Qi is not very helpful. As for any more than that, we aren’t fortunate enough for something like that. Moreover, Stainless Qi isn’t something that you are guaranteed to obtain just because it appears, as it’s like a ghost. It’s elusive and can vanish into thin air at any moment. It’s difficult to detect it no matter what you try. Even when Immortal Exalts encounter it, there’s a possibility for it to slip away under their noses. It’s very difficult to obtain it unless the stars align.”

“As a result, we’ve opened our minds a long time ago. We’re going with the flow. Even if we just meditate and cultivate here, we’ll receive quite the benefit over great lengths of time.” Immortal Exalt Wei Qi explained patiently.
