Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3842: Enemies

Jing Mumu immediately smiled resplendently. She said happily, “Master, I’ve obtained the Nine Limits Saint’s legacy, but I can only accept a part of the legacy due to my limited strength. I’m still unable to obtain the deeper knowledge.”

“Most of the legacy consists of the Nine Limits Saint’s cultivation experience and comprehension, as well as some cultivation methods and secret techniques. The comprehension of the Way of the Sword on the stone tablet here is exactly what I lack right now.”

Jing Mumu glanced past the stone tablet as her eyes burned with interest. “Master, if I can comprehend the Laws of the Sword on the stone tablet, my strength will definitely reach a whole new level.”

Jian Chen nodded and said, “There are many legacies of the Way of the Sword left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable here. There is definitely much more than just one stone tablet. Dear disciple, you’ll move around alone for now. How much you can benefit will be entirely up to you.”

“Remember, not a lot of people have entered here, but there are many peak experts. Only move around at the base of the mountain. It’s best if you don’t ascend past its waist. Do you understand?”

“As you wish, master.” Jing Mumu obeyed.

Jian Chen slowly raised his arm. From inside his wide sleeves, a tiny green vine quietly slid out.

“Little Grass!” Jing Mumu’s eyes lit up as she cried out.

The green vine was the Immortal Devouring Orchid that had stowed away in the Primeval Divine Hall.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid left Jian Chen’s wrist and appeared on Jing Mumu like it had teleported. Then it wrapped around her wrist like a bracelet.

“The Immortal Devouring Orchid will stay by your side during the time you are in the Skyscraping World. That way, I can worry a little less. After all, all of the people here are beyond what you can handle.” As he said that, Jian Chen looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid and sighed inside.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid grew far too quickly. The last time he saw it, it had already reached the peak of the First Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. It was already close to breaking through to the Second Heavenly Layer.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid’s strength grew much more slowly after reaching Immortal Exalt.

However, even with this slower pace, its growth rate still left him speechless.

Apart from those supreme experts who had reincarnated and awakened their memories, probably no one across the six worlds could rival the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

After issuing these simple instructions, Jian Chen left Jing Mumu and departed alone.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid also concealed its presence, hiding on Jing Mumu quietly.

It also understood that it was a stowaway, so it tried its best to avoid the detection of others.

Jian Chen travelled through the Skyscraping World alone. He did not move quickly, stopping and going from time to time. He carefully sensed every region he passed by, observing carefully.

That was because sometimes, the senses of the soul were even beneath the naked eye here. He needed to check visually often, just in case he missed out on anything.

Finally, after three days, Jian Chen found a second stone tablet on a boulder. These were no imprint of a sword, just the traces left behind by a strand of sword Qi.

The traces shone with blinding light from inside as if they contained endless sword intent. When Jian Chen looked over, he even felt his eyes prick as if the sword Qi was thrusting into his soul, shaking it up and leaving it extremely unstable.

Jian Chen shut his eyes in a hurry and sat down in the air, carefully and cautiously sensing the invisible sword intent that filled the air.

However, right when he was about to comprehend it, his expression suddenly changed. He snapped open his eyes. In the next moment, he silently vanished, without leaving any trace or presence behind.

Several seconds later, two figures appeared. They were both middle-aged men, giving off the presence of Immortal Emperors.

One of them was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, while the other was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

“There was a disturbance just now as if someone was here,” the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor glanced around and said quietly.

“Perhaps it’s activity from the stone tablet. The sword intent it contains is too powerful. Even I can’t get too close to it,” said the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. He looked at the stone tablet sternly.

Jian Chen’s eyes turned cold as he concealed himself with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. He recognised the two Immortal Emperors. He did not know their names, but he did know that they were from the Wind clan, a peak organisation on the Fierce Gales Heaven.

The Wind clan had sent three people this time. The strongest was a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt ancestor, while the two here were the late Immortal Emperor great elders.

“I didn’t think I’d encounter people from the Wind clan so soon.” Killing intent surged inside Jian Chen. The Wind clan was one of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ enemies. Following the war, one of the three remaining Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had died by the hand of the Mistress of Contrary Winds of the Wind clan.

For several million years after that, the Mistress of Contrary Winds never turned her attention away from the declining Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even when she did not have the courage to move against the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens openly, she secretly controlled the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder to constantly oppress the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

It was as if the Mistress of Contrary Winds refused to stop until the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had been annihilated.

At this moment, the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor from the Wind clan took out a compass. He looked at it and said, “The Divine Fruit of Yin Gales that the ancestor planted in here should be nearby. We better hurry over to it.”

“There’s no rush. We both grasp the Laws of the Sword. Although the ancestor sent us into the Skyscraping World, it is not simply to harvest the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales. We’ve also been presented with an opportunity to find our own fortunes. Now that we’ve encountered one of the fortunes that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable left behind after so much difficulty, we obviously have to comprehend it,” the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor said.

“Fair enough. The Skyscraping World has only just opened, so we have abundant time. Let’s stay here and comprehend it for some time.” The other Immortal Emperor nodded.

Shortly afterwards, the two great elders from the Wind clan set up a simple formation before sitting down in the air and comprehending the Laws of the Sword here.

“Divine Fruit of Yin Gales? Now that is something good. It’s said that in order to grow this fruit, not only are there extremely stringent requirements on the environment, but the resources it consumes when growing is startling as well. If it ripens completely, it is a high grade God Tier heavenly resource. Even among all high grade God Tier heavenly resources, the Laws of Wind it contains ranks towards the top. It is priceless.”

“The Divine Fruit of Yin Gales seems to have been planted in the Skyscraping World many years ago by an ancestor of the Wind clan. Since they’ve sent someone to harvest it now, it must be completely ripe.”

Jian Chen’s eyes flickered. He stowed the Heaven-lifting sword away and smiled mysteriously. Then he backed away a certain distance without any trace, waiting patiently nearby.
