Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3919: Signs of Emergence

Inside the Skyscraping World, the Immortal Exalts who continued to search for Jian Chen everywhere began to waver. Many even considered giving up.

That was because the missing Immortal Exalts were truly gone. They had searched the mountain peak several times, but they did not find any traces of them.

They could not help but make connections as a result. Gradually, a sense of uneasiness emanated through the depths of their hearts.

Some people had already begun to consider the worst possible scenario!

“Hehehe, sect master, my strength has already returned to the Fourth Heavenly Layer.” As Jian Chen sat in a certain region of the mountain peak to silently recover the power of his soul, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s voice rang out in his head.

When he heard that, Jian Chen gradually smiled as if he felt happy for the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s recovery from the bottom of his heart.

“However, my strength has only just returned to the Fourth Heavenly Layer. I’m still weaker than I would be in my peak condition, but I’m close.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was extremely excited. When he was trapped in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, each day was hellish. He was like livestock, spending his days in darkness. Even death would have been a luxury.

However, ever since he followed Jian Chen, his demonic path immediately seemed to open up. It went from being narrow and winding to a wide, straight path, which filled the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt with a multitude of emotions.

“Starting with the Seven Antelope Ancestor, we’ve already killed eight of the Immortal Exalts here…” Jian Chen murmured. He had paid a certain price to kill eight Immortal Exalts as well, which was ingesting many heavenly resources that healed the power of the soul.

However, the entire wealth of these eight Immortal Exalts also became his spoils. In short, his gains had widely surpassed his losses.

At this moment, a blinding ball of light suddenly appeared from the very top of the Skyscraping World. It was countless times brighter than the sun, immediately dyeing the entire realm white.

When the blinding light emerged, all of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, Immortal Monarchs, and Immortal Emperors that wandered through the Skyscraping World shut their eyes reflexively.

The light was far too harsh. It had already surpassed the limits of many cultivators, so even Immortal Emperors could not bear it.

Jian Chen also felt his eyes sting severely, but he did not close them. The sheen of swords shone in his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the highest point of the Skyscraping World.

A colossal sword stood at the peak of the Skyscraping World, radiating with invincible sword intent.

The sword was not tangible. Instead, it was condensed from extremely powerful Laws of the Sword. Sword Qi surged inside as the violent and wanton power made the space shake and the world tremble. Even the terrifying formations personally set up by Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts that protected the Skyscraping World trembled violently before this powerful sword Qi.

It felt like the sword Qi was so powerful that even these peak formations could not endure it, like they would shatter.

“This is… the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s Laws of the Sword.”

“So powerful. Now that truly is the Skyscraping Sword Venerable who was able to stand supreme amongst a group of Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. He’s already perished for so many years, yet the power he left behind in the past still possesses such terrifying might…”

“This sword Qi… even if a wisp of it leaks out, it can easily kill all of the Immortal Exalts here…”

“After waiting for all this time, the seed of ways has finally emerged…”

......

…

At this moment, the eyes of the Immortal Exalts scattered throughout the Skyscraping World all lit up. Many of them had even begun to rub their hands as they burned with ambition. They were determined to get their hands on the seed of ways.

At this moment, all of their attention was occupied by the seed of ways that was about to emerge. None of them could bother with Yang Yutian anymore.

“This is a sign of the emergence of the seed of ways. This day has finally arrived.” Jian Chen’s eyes felt like they were about to bleed. This was the damage from staring directly at the colossal strand of sword Qi.

However, he completely ignored his eyes. He was leaping with joy inside, filled with great excitement and eagerness. He stared straight at the highest point of the Skyscraping World.

Halfway up the mountain, several cultivators maintained a certain distance from one another in front of a huge stone tablet that recorded one of the nine secret techniques. The city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, was among them.

At this moment, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s gaze was sharp like swords, staring straight at the top of the mountain brightly. He could clearly see the rays from the giant sword that was thousands of times stronger than the sun, covering every inch of land and illuminating every inch of sky. Regardless of how dense the spiritual Qi was, it could not block out the terrifying sword intent.

“This is a sign of the seed of ways’ emergence,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu murmured. He immediately lost his calm as burning ambition silently spread through his heart. He was tempted to rush to the mountain peak and take part in the competition.

If he obtained the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s seed of ways, then he would have high hopes of making progress with the Way of the Sword. He could likely reach the Third Heavenly Layer!

However, when Jian Chen’s figure appeared in his head, he felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his burning ambition. It became icy-cold again.

“Without any accidents, the seed of ways will be his. I entered this place at the wrong time, so I have no destiny with the seed of ways.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sighed gently. He withdrew his gaze and turned his attention over to the stone tablet again.

“This is where my opportunity lies…”

......

…

Near the foot of the mountain, in a region of wilderness that virtually no one set foot in. In this remote location, there stood another stone tablet that recorded one of the nine secret techniques. Several Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals sat there. They had also been blinded by the dazzling light.

Jian Chen’s disciple, Jing Mumu, was amongst them.

She was the person with the weakest cultivation here, only a Xuan Immortal. She was not even a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.

In terms of her age, her cultivation speed was already unparalleled. She could be regarded as a prodigy of the current age.

In terms of her cultivation, she was the weakest person in the Skyscraping World.

“Little Grass? Are you saying that this is a sign of the seed of ways’ emergence?” Jing Mumu sat with her eyes shut. Her face was filled with surprise as she communicated in an extremely discrete manner with the green vine that resembled an ornament on her wrist.

That was the Immortal Devouring Orchid!

The Immortal Devouring Orchid concealed its presence and remained by Jing Mumu’s side. Unless they encountered powerful Immortal Exalts, it was impossible for it to be discovered.

“The seed of ways is emerging. The time when master needs us is here. Little Mumu, it’s time for us to go.” The Immortal Devouring Orchid let out a pulse of thought, urging Jing Mumu.

Jing Mumu stood up without any hesitation. Her beautiful face was filled with excitement and eagerness. “Then what are we waiting for? Little Grass, let’s head over there immediately. We can finally return to master’s side.”
