Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3478: Sudden Eruption

For a moment, Jian Chen sat blankly in outer space, gazing at the moist tears on his hand in confusion. Even his thought process seemed to freeze.

He had absolutely no idea what had happened. He did not know why the sense of sorrow had appeared in his heart, nor did he understand why he shed tears for no reason.

At his realm of cultivation, his mental fortitude was so great that it was truly impervious like a rock.

He had already grown accustomed to death and experienced far too many moments of sadness and joy, partings and reunions. He had already forged a steel will and an icy-cold spirit. No matter how great of an emotional impact he experienced, he definitely would not shed tears so easily.

But at this moment, he had actually shed tears, and he had shed them without reason. Even he himself was filled with confusion.

However, Jian Chen’s loss of composure lasted for a very short period of time. In just a few seconds, the confusion on his face vanished, and the trails of tears had evaporated. His gaze became determined again, staring straight at the Hole of Reincarnation with a shining gaze.

“The Hole of Reincarnation has actually interfered with my emotions and influenced my mental state!” Jian Chen was surprised. He became extremely stern, filled with caution.

Even with his strength, he had actually been silently influenced, like his soul had been enchanted. As a result, the Hole of Reincarnation immediately became terrifying in his eyes.

At this moment, the multicoloured haze at the Hole of Reincarnation’s entrance seemed to be triggered by something. It immediately began to surge like boiling water, churning violently and tossing and turning.

All the immortals in the surroundings immediately noticed the Hole of Reincarnation’s changes. Immediately, countless eyes gathered on it. Even the immortals who had sat in meditation with their eyes closed for a very long time snapped open their eyes, looking at the Hole of Reincarnation in surprise, joy, and anticipation.

“Something is happening to the Hole of Reincarnation. I’ve waited here arduously for over a thousand years. Finally, something is happening to the Hole of Reincarnation.”

“It’s responding. It’s responding. The Hole of Reincarnation is finally responding. This is a sign before an eruption.”

“The Reincarnation Qi only appears for three seconds. In such a short amount of time, you have to do everything you can to absorb as much as you can. Don’t even think about gathering the reincarnation Qi because you’ll get absolutely nothing that way.”

“This time, I’ll definitely use the effects of the reincarnation Qi to overcome this bottleneck and become an Immortal Monarch.”

......

…

The silent region immediately became noisy. Many immortals could not help but speak up. Their voices were filled with undisguised joy.

The three figures seated on the three stone pedestals in front of everyone also stared straight at the Hole of Reincarnation. They were stern.

They were not particularly burly and even seemed slightly thin, but as they sat there, they were like three towering mountains that could not be traversed, giving all the immortals present a heavy sense of pressure.

That was because these three people were Immortal Emperors!

“The eruption of reincarnation Qi seems to have moved forwards by quite a bit,” at this moment, one of the Immortal Emperors spoke up with some surprise.

“Every time the reincarnation Qi erupted in the past, it would always take around three thousand years before the next. This has occurred several dozen times, so it’s basically stabilised at this time frame. It has only been a thousand years since the last eruption, yet a new eruption is actually happening already. It has indeed moved forwards,” said the second Immortal Emperor.

“Regardless of whether it’s premature or delayed, all we can do is record the time it erupted. After all, the Hole of Reincarnation is something mysterious that even Grand Exalts can’t completely understand. Anything connected to the Hole of Reincarnation cannot be examined with usual logic.”

......

…

“I only have three seconds to absorb the reincarnation Qi?” Elsewhere, Jian Chen spread out the senses of his soul and captured even more information regarding the reincarnation Qi.

At this moment, everyone could clearly sense a unique energy surge out from the Hole of Reincarnation, instantly covering a range of ten thousand kilometres.

The energy was invisible and intangible, but they could clearly sense its existence. It was like wisps of invisible mist, curling through the region of ten thousand kilometres.

Basically as soon as it appeared, the countless immortals gathered in the area began using everything in them to absorb it.

“Is this reincarnation Qi?” Jian Chen also sensed the invisible energy that surged out from the Hole of Reincarnation. He sensed it slightly and did not find anything special about it.

After a moment of hesitation, Jian Chen began absorbing the reincarnation Qi!

However, when the first strand of reincarnation Qi entered his body, his soul immediately gave off a cool sensation as if it had just been elevated to an extreme level. His comprehension of the ways of the world directly reached a new height.

At that moment, Jian Chen even felt like the endless sea of stars before his eyes had changed. He no longer saw the cosmos but a partitioned world woven from the ways.

These ways were not the dozen or so he had comprehended. It was not several dozen or several hundred either.

Instead, there were over a thousand of them.

At that moment, he saw over a thousand ways of the world!

However, when Jian Chen tried to closely sense these ways, the image before his eyes shattered, and his elevated soul settled back down.

The reincarnation Qi had already vanished.

That just happened to be three seconds!

“It’s a pity that there’s only three short seconds. It’s far too short,” Jian Chen felt some pity inside. He had a very strong feeling that if he could remain in that state for a little longer, his Laws of the Sword would definitely reach a whole new level!

But now, not a single wisp of reincarnation Qi remained in the nearby space!

After the reincarnation Qi vanished, several unstable pulses of energy appeared in the surroundings.

There were immortals who broke through using the reincarnation Qi, reaching a new level of strength.

However, they were basically all Golden Immortals or Xuan Immortals.

Perhaps the momentary effects of reincarnation Qi could allow low level immortals to be freed from their restraints, undergoing a breakthrough, but to immortals that had reached Immortal Monarch, three seconds were nowhere near enough.

Jian Chen stood up. With a step, he arrived near the Hole of Reincarnation and stared straight at the swirl of energy woven from various colours. He felt a strong urge to step in there.

Jian Chen’s behaviour attracted a lot of attention. Many eyes gathered on him, with plenty of Immortal Monarchs among them.

Even the three Immortal Emperors paused on Jian Chen for a slight while.

But shortly afterwards, these people shifted their gazes, having lost interest. Clearly, they were already accustomed to this.

“Master, what are you trying to do? You can’t act foolishly out of impulse. Once you enter the Hole of Reincarnation, you won’t be able to leave again.”

“Master, you carry the great burden of bringing glory back to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has already declined so much. Whether it can continue to survive in the Immortals’ World will be entirely up to you, master.”

“Master, you are the only hope of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

Jian Chen’s actions made the sword spirits leap in fright.They both cried out frantically and tried to convince him otherwise, afraid that he throw himself into the Hole of Reincarnation out of impulse.
