Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3242: The Ability of a Sovereign

This time, Jian Chen remained in the Primeval Divine Hall for a very short amount of time. Very soon, he bade farewell to the artifact spirit with no other choice. Then he traveled back along the same path and returned to the Radiant Saint Hall.

In Radiant Saint Hall at the top of the clouds, the square where the gate to the World of Moon and Star opened was still closed. Including esteemed vice hall masters, no one could set foot in there.

When Jian Chen emerged again, Xuan Zhan, Xuan Ming, Han Xin, Bai Yu, and Donglin Yangxue all stood in a straight line, exactly where they were, waiting patiently. None of them had taken a step away from their positions during the time Jian Chen was in the World of Moon and Star.

Jian Chen slowly pacified his disappointment inside and arrived before the five of them calmly, clasping his fist to thank them.

“In a few days’ time, I will pay a personal visit to the Martial Soul Mountain and discuss the matters between the Radiant Saint Hall and the Martial Soul Mountain with the others,” Xuan Zhan said to Jian Chen after a while of silence. He was solemn.

As for the reason why Jian Chen had ventured to the World of Moon and Star, the five of them remained silent about it.

Jian Chen nodded. He clearly did not have much of an opinion on this matter. He left everything up to his seniors from the Martial Soul Mountain to deal with.

Afterwards, Jian Chen paid another visit to the Tower of Radiance. After a short visit there, he bade farewell to the five protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall. Under Donglin Yanxue’s reluctant gaze that was filled with mixed emotions, he left the Radiant Saint Hall without any hesitation.

Soon afterwards, Jian Chen went to the Sword God Mountains to visit the Celestial Sword Saint. Under his polite request, he successfully saw the Celestial Sword Saint.

On the mountain, the Celestial Sword Saint’s head full of white hair danced in the wind. He sat at the top of the mountain in simple, white robes, like a meditating monk, without budging at all. Right before him was a sheer cliff.

Jian Chen stood behind the Celestial Sword Saint with great respect. He was completely incapable of seeing through the Celestial Sword Saint’s strength. At this very moment, the Celestial Sword Saint seemed like a regular old man in his eyes. He did not give off any presence at all, nor did he give off any energy.

“I’ve come to visit to thank the Sword Saint for saving my life back then. Second of all, I still possess some questions regarding the Way of the Sword, which I hope the Sword Saint can answer for me.” Jian Chen stood behind the Celestial Sword Saint and bowed with a clasped fist politely.

Afterwards, he took out some Comprehension Tea from his Space Ring, as well as spiritual fluid that possessed Xuanhuang Qi. “I hope you can accept this mere gift of mine, Sword Saint. Even though I’m aware Comprehension Tea is no longer of much help to you, it’s still quite a beverage to enjoy.”

“Seventh grade God Tier Comprehension Tea? That is indeed something very rare. The Xuanhuang Microcosm to produce such high quality heavenly resources has extremely slim chances of appearing. Very well, I’ll accept this gift of yours.” The Celestial Sword Saint waved his hand, and Jian Chen’s Comprehension Tea immediately vanished. “Tell me, what are your questions regarding the Way of the Sword?”

Not only was the Celestial Sword Saint publicly recognised as the greatest expert of the Desolate Plane, but he was also a powerful practitioner of the Way of the Sword. His comprehension and understanding of the Way of the Sword had reached a realm that even Jian Chen could only look up to in amazement a long time ago.

Of course, if it were another expert of the Way of the Sword, Jian Chen would have never asked for advice so rashly. However, he possessed some special feelings towards the Celestial Sword Saint.

He felt like both his teacher and his senior.

In the past, when he passed the Celestial Sword Saint’s test of the Path of Swords, he failed to become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple, but he still received the Celestial Sword Saint’s protection, as well as his guidance on the Way of the Sword.

In the end, he reached the realm of Sword Immortal on the Sword God Mountain under the Celestial Sword Saint’s protection, even comprehending the Ultimate Way of the Sword at the same time.

Jian Chen felt respect from the bottom of his heart towards the Celestial Sword Saint.

Afterwards, Jian Chen asked some questions regarding the Way of the Sword.

The Celestial Sword Saint was generous, giving a detailed answer to all of Jian Chen’s questions. With his accomplishments with the Way of the Sword, all of his advice was invaluable. Jian Chen immediately felt like he had been enlightened.

Afterwards, Jian Chen asked some questions regarding the Ultimate Way of the Sword. He was still quite uncertain about some of the special abilities of the Ultimate Way of the Sword.

“What? Your Ultimate Way of the Sword can sever the God Tier Battle Skills of your opponents?” When he heard that Jian Chen possessed that kind of ability, even the stoic Celestial Sword Saint was slightly surprised.

Jian Chen nodded and said in thought, “I’ve attributed it to the Ultimate Way of the Sword, but I feel like my ability to sever God Tier Battle Skills is not completely due to the Ultimate Way of the Sword. More accurately, it should be a type of will.”

The Celestial Sword Saint pointed at the sky, and the tremendous might of the world descended. He condensed a God Tier Battle Skill in an instant.

“Try to stop my God Tier Battle Skill with your ability!” The Celestial Sword Saint turned around and stared at Jian Chen in shining interest.

Without any hesitation, Jian Chen unleashed the sword intent, and it immediately turned into an invisible blade. It slashed at the Celestial Sword Saint’s God Tier Battle Skill along the vague feeling he found.

Immediately, the Celestial Sword Saint’s God Tier Battle Skill deflated like a balloon, collapsing instantly. All of its might from the world vanished, turning into a ball of tremendous energy that disappeared into thin air.

The Celestial Sword Saint was thrown into a daze. He stared straight at Jian Chen. In the depths of his eyes was a smear of undisguised astonishment.

“Jian Chen, how did you discover that you possessed the ability to stop God Tier Battle Skills?” the Celestial Sword Saint asked.

“I unintentionally discovered it during a battle,” Jian Chen answered honestly.

The Celestial Sword Saint’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. He stared straight at Jian Chen, and after a moment of silence, he said, “I possess the Three Lives Sword God’s complete legacy, so I know many secrets regarding that realm. Apart from the seven Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World, it’s impossible for anyone to possess this ability.”

“Your ability to destroy God Tier Battle Skills has indeed surpassed the range of the Ultimate Way of the Sword already. Instead, it’s an extremely high-level will. Even though the will is still very feeble on you, only those sovereigns who have become embodiments of the heavenly ways possess that will.”

“Then senior, apart from destroying God Tier Battle Skills, what else can this will of mine do?” Jian Chen asked modestly.

“If your will is powerful enough, then that’s equivalent to grasping part of the abilities that sovereigns possess. Unfortunately, your will is far too weak. It’s nowhere near enough to use against enemies. Even against opponents of the same level, it can’t harm them.”

“As a result, the greatest assistance that this will can bring you right now is to destroy God Tier Battle Skills, severing the connection between your opponents’ God Tier Battle Skills and the ways.”
