Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3833: The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster

“Fellow, I have three treasures here. Together, they’re worth no less than a high quality god artifact. I’ll exchange these three treasures for the precise location of the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit,” an Immortal Exalt ancestor said as he tossed over a Space Ring.

The Immortal Exalt with the information on the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit accepted the space ring and took a look before shaking his head in disappointment. “Not enough!”

The Space Ring was returned to its owner without any items removed.

“I have an ancient secret technique here. It is extremely powerful. If those beneath the Third Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt grasp it, they can unleash an attack an entire heavenly layer higher…” another Immortal Exalt said before switching over to a communication technique and telling the person about the rough details of the secret technique.

“I already possess a secret technique like that. I know not to bite off more than I can chew, so I don’t need it.” The Immortal Exalt declined once again.

Afterwards, several other Immortal Exalts spoke up, stating their price. Each offer was very startling in value, enough to make other experts of the same level green with envy.

But without any exceptions, none of them interested the Immortal Exalt.

Even Zuo Dao from the Divine Heavens of the Nine Heavens, the formerly greatest organisation on the Wondrous Success Heaven, took out a priceless object from his Space Ring. He wanted to exchange for the details of the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, but he was also turned down.

For a moment, the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit became a hot commodity. It was absolutely useless to most experts. After all, it would be of no worth to people who spent their past three lives as regular people.

However, if used carefully, such as on cultivators who knew about their past lives but could not awaken their past memories for various reasons, the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit was equivalent to producing a supreme expert.

“City lord Tan Yu, if you don’t know the precise location in the Skyscraping World, don’t tell me it’s very difficult to find these heavenly resources?” Just the precise location was so precious, which left Jian Chen very curious. He asked Immortal Exalt Tan Yu beside him.

He had indeed obtained a lot of information regarding the Skyscraping World from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, but there were still holes in his knowledge.

“You may not be aware, brother Yutian, but the Skyscraping Sword Venerable set down many formations in the Skyscraping World. One of these formations suppresses the senses of the souls of cultivators. Even Immortal Exalts stand no chance against it, where the senses of their souls can only cover a range of a hundred kilometres at most. Meanwhile, the Skyscraping World is expansive. If someone who entered previously set up a powerful concealing formation around the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, then it would be difficult to find.”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu explained to Jian Chen through a communication technique before looking at the old man. “This person knows the precise location of the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit, which means he has entered the Skyscraping World before. He must have happened upon an unripe Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit. I suspect he’s set up some kind of formation near the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit to hide it, which can prevent others from detecting it. He wants to trade its precise location for something that he requires.”

“If that’s the case, why can’t he enter the Skyscraping World to collect it himself?” Jian Chen asked.

“Actually, with his strength as an Immortal Exalt, obtaining a spot to enter the Skyscraping World is not difficult. Perhaps he refuses to collect it himself because it’s not that easy to obtain in the first place. He’s not confident,” said Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

Afterwards, more and more experts entered the place, ranging from Immortal Exalts to Daluo Golden Immortals. All of the weaker cultivators were prodigies from various peak organisations, people that the various sects poured their resources into. They followed their Immortal Exalt ancestors into the Skyscraping World for training.

“I have the precise location of a high grade God Tier heavenly resource, a Twin-headed Lotus. You need the strength of a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt to collect it. I only want five-coloured immortal crystals.”

“This high grade God Tier heavenly resource, the Spiritual Grass of Sword Transformation, is a fantastic material for forging high quality god artifact swords. When I entered the Skyscraping World last time, the Spiritual Grass of Sword Transformation still needed a hundred thousand years before it ripened. With no other choice, I could only give up on it. I set up many formations around the Spiritual Grass of Sword Transformation. Those without the method to navigate the formations will struggle to discover it. As long as you produce something that satisfies me, I can exchange it with you.”

As more and more people arrived, the area gradually became busy. Various cries and voices bargaining rang out endlessly.

Some of these people had entered the Skyscraping World before. They knew many treasures were hidden inside. Some of these people gave up on entering the Skyscraping World because their strength was insufficient, or because the value of the items inside paled in comparison to the value of a spot of entry. Instead, they tried selling the information regarding these heavenly resources to earn a sum of resources.

Without any exception, the various heavenly resources they knew about were of startling value, enough to interest Immortal Exalts.

However, Jian Chen was unfazed. He was not powerful, but after emptying out the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the wealth he possessed had already surpassed many peak organisations. Even some high grade God Tier heavenly resources struggled to interest him.

“Master, someone is using a technique to block my absorption of spiritual Qi from the outside world and is currently trying to deduce where I am through it. I must shut off the energy-gathering formation.” The Primeval artifact spirit’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.

In the next moment, Jian Chen felt the spiritual Qi in the Primeval Divine Hall rapidly diminish.

All of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and the many heavenly resources inside the Primeval Divine Hall consumed a startling amount of spiritual Qi with each passing moment. Over the past few years, it had been entirely maintained by the spiritual Qi absorbed from the outside world by the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.

Now, as the flow from the outside world was shut off, the spiritual Qi in the Primeval Divine Hall immediately was in tight supply.

However, Jian Chen had come up with a countermeasure for such a situation a long time ago. He immediately made all the disciples in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, apart from those at a critical point in their breakthroughs that could not afford any interruption, stop cultivating.

All of the formations that required vast amounts of spiritual Qi stopped operating, while all of the heavenly resources planted in them were maintained with the least amount of spiritual Qi possible.

After a series of steps, the spiritual Qi consumption of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was reduced to the lowest possible.

At this moment, a small immortal vessel hovered a billion kilometres away from the Skyscraping World.

Around a dozen cultivators of varying strengths stared at a figure that stood with his back to them on the immortal vessel.

He was a middle-aged man in white robes, and he gave off an extremely powerful presence. At this moment, he hovered in the air with his eyes shut as he produced a series of seals. Wisps of a profound and mysterious power circulated around him.

At this moment, he let out a sudden interjection of surprise and opened his eyes slowly. There was a hint of surprise.

“It’s vanished? All of its traces and presence has been cut off? This is not something that any regular person can accomplish. I just wonder who is actually absorbing the spiritual Qi here from so far away,” the middle-aged man murmured softly before returning to the immortal vessel without accomplishing anything.

“Master, did you find their traces?” an old man asked politely on the immortal vessel.

The presence that the old man gave off was a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt’s, yet he showed great respect towards the middle-aged man.

The way he referred to the middle-aged man was even more shocking.

The middle-aged man was the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster renowned throughout the Immortals’ World. He was an expert of the Way of the Sword who had reached the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. He was extremely powerful.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster was also the strongest expert of the Forbidden High Heaven of the thirty-three heavens!

“Their methods are even more ingenious than I originally suspected, and they immediately sensed that I was looking for them. Once they hid themselves, they left behind no trace at all. I failed to find anything.” The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster sighed gently. Afterwards, his eyes suddenly erupted with blinding light. Endless sword intent flowed as if his eyes nurtured a sea of sharp and terrifying sword Qi. It was impossible to meet his gaze.

Under the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s gaze, the nearby space immediately began to change as if many hidden secrets were entirely exposed.

In just a few seconds, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s gaze returned to normal. “So be it. It doesn’t matter. Let’s go to the Skyscraping World.” With that, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s immortal vessel vanished, hurrying off towards the Conquering Judgement Heaven with terrifying speed.
