Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3881: Extraordinary Origins

Jian Chen looked at the old man and smiled gently. “If you can comprehend it, then you’ll obviously find out which of the nine secret techniques this is. If you can’t, then does it matter even if you do find out?”

“I am simply curious. Could you satisfy this small request of mine?” The old man smiled wryly.

The old man had a kind appearance and friendly demeanor, so Jian Chen was not irritated by his persistent questioning. He shook his head gently and said nothing more before shifting his attention to the jade disc in his hand.

“The Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s lingering will made no mention of this jade disc…” Jian Chen gently stroked the jade disc in his hand as he closely recalled everything that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable had said.

However, whenever he thought of how the jade disc came from the Hole of Reincarnation, Jian Chen struggled to remain calm.

That was because the Hole of Reincarnation was a place filled with wonder in the Immortals’ World. It was a special place that had once devoured Grand Exalts, a place that even Grand Exalts were unable to see through and reluctant to set foot in.

Throughout history, only Daowei Chengqing had ever set foot in the Hole of Reincarnation and emerged alive.

On top of that, the items he brought out from the Hole of Reincarnation were known to have changed the entire situation and fate of the Immortals’ World.

The Book of the Populace had created a Grand Exalt like Daowei Fatian, allowing the Waymight clan that was once one of the twelve courts of heaven to rise up and become a paramount sovereign clan respected by all!

The birth of a Grand Exalt could indeed have a tremendous impact on the entire Immortals’ World!

Meanwhile, the Dominion’s Brush had produced a peak expert like the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance, Fang Jing. With the Dominion’s Brush, she had defeated the four supreme ancestors of the Sacred Beast clan. Even when they all wielded sovereign god artifacts, becoming no weaker than heavenly emperors, they were still crushed by Fang Jing.

The two of them had achieved such outstanding feats entirely due to the two items from the Hole of Reincarnation.

And now, Jian Chen had also obtained an item from the Hole of Reincarnation, so how could he not be delighted?

“Master, how are you certain that the jade disc comes from the Hole of Reincarnation?” the sword spirits who learnt about the origins of the jade disc from Jian Chen asked in surprise.

“The jade disc contains a presence unique to the Hole of Reincarnation. Zi Ying, Qing Suo, don’t tell me you’re unable to sense it?” Jian Chen was clearly in a fantastic mood.

When they heard that, the sword spirits began to sense it closely, but they shook their heads in the end. They did not sense the presence of the Hole of Reincarnation that Jian Chen spoke of.

In the end, even the Primeval artifact spirit and the Source of Life took part, but the end result was identical to the sword spirits. Apart from noticing the extraordinary material the jade disc was made of, they did not discover anything else.

“There is indeed a hint of presence from the Hole of Reincarnation inside the jade disc. I can’t be wrong about this. I had close contact with the Hole of Reincarnation before. I’m extremely familiar with this presence.”

“Don’t tell me you can’t sense it because you’re artifact spirits?”

Jian Chen was confused. Whether the jade disc came from the Hole of Reincarnation was extremely important.

If it did not come from the Hole of Reincarnation, then no matter how extraordinary the jade disc was, its potential was still limited in the very end.

However, if it really did come from the Hole of Reincarnation, then its quality would be unbounded.

Under the influence of the Dominion’s Brush and the Book of the Populace, any object that was connected to the Hole of Reincarnation would be enshrined as a divine object in the eyes of all cultivators in the Immortals’ World.

“Should I find some cultivators who have approached the Hole of Reincarnation in the past to confirm this?” Jian Chen began to think of the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors in the Primeval Divine Hall. There must have been several people who had visited the Hole of Reincarnation before. They should be extremely familiar with the presence of the Hole of Reincarnation.

However, when he thought of that, he still gave up on the idea in the end. Although these people would remain in the Primeval Divine Hall and there would be no risk of leaking any news, he definitely could not let a second person find out if this item really did come from the Hole of Reincarnation.

Jian Chen had stopped being an ignorant fool a long time ago. He understood exactly how precious the items that emerged from the Hole of Reincarnation were. Even if a rumour of it got out, the consequences would be extremely terrifying.

That was because even some peak experts who no longer cared about much at all, remaining neutral to all conflicts, would probably be tempted by something like this.

Their temptation for this would be even greater than the twin swords!

That was because fusing the twin swords came with a tremendous backlash. It could not be used so easily. Their existence was more for deterrence.

Meanwhile, the objects that had emerged from the Hole of Reincarnation had the Book of the Populace and the Dominion’s Brush as prior examples at the very least, which made it seem much more reliable and without so many limitations and problems.

Jian Chen understood the value of the jade disc. He did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately placed it inside the Primeval Divine Hall before specially instructing the artifact spirit to keep a close eye on it.

The time in the Skyscraping World was short and precious. Since he had already gained a basic grasp over the Hundred Superimposition Sword, Jian Chen planned on using the remaining time to fulfill the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s final request. As for the mysterious jade disc that recorded the Hundred Superimposition Sword and was suspected to be from the Hole of Reincarnation, Jian Chen planned on studying it closely once he left the Skyscraping World.

Jian Chen left the place he had spent eighteen years meditating. Only the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor old man remained. His gaze shifted between Jian Chen’s figure and the stone tablet that recorded one of the nine secret techniques. He hesitated.

He had also noticed the mysterious jade disc in Jian Chen’s hand, but it seemed completely ordinary on the surface. It did not give off any precious signs, so the old man was unaware of its origins.

But at this moment, his mind was filled with the secret technique. The unimpressive jade disc did not raise his attention that much.

“Do I leave or not? But the secret technique here is frighteningly strong. The power from a mid Immortal Emperor after grasping it even gives me chills. If I learnt it as well, wouldn’t I be undefeatable among Immortal Emperors? Even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors won’t be my opponent any more…”

“Whatever, I can go without the other resources in the Skyscraping World. I’m not going anywhere in the next period of time. I won’t stop until I grasp this technique. I will stay here until the Skyscraping World closes…”

After a moment of hesitation, the old man made up his mind and returned. He sat back down in front of the stone tablet. He was already determined to spend the rest of his time here.

But this time, he opened his eyes slowly soon after he began comprehending. He was slightly confused. He murmured, “That’s strange. Why is it much easier compared to before…”

“This feels like a mysterious power that was previously obstructing any comprehension attempts has now suddenly vanished. Originally, it was riddled with difficulties, without a single starting point visible, but now, there’s a clear path about it…”
