Chaotic Sword God

“It looks like Donglin Yanxue has not sensed this pulse that’s extremely similar to Radiant Saint Force. However, I can’t be too certain that this pulse is a Radiant Origin Pearl,” Jian Chen thought. He had already learnt from elder Mu Zhong that the Radiant Origin Pearl was something from the Tower of Radiance. It was extremely special and could not be discovered with the senses of the soul. Only those with great talent and affinity for Radiant Saint Force could sense their existence.

These people with great talent and affinity for Radiant Saint Force basically referred to the geniuses who were assigned stars.

Nine star geniuses were the greatest talents in the Radiant Saint Hall. They were the ones taking part in the competition for Chosen Saint this time.

“If this pulse really does come from the Radiant Origin Pearl, doesn’t that mean my talent is greater than Donglin Yanxue’s?” Jian Chen thought. He stared right ahead. The pulse he sensed came from a hundred kilometres away.

At this moment, their group was basically travelling in a straight line, directly towards the pulse’s location.

They hovered around twenty metres above the ground as they travelled. Even though everyone had slowed down for Jian Chen’s sake, a hundred kilometres was still nothing.

Very soon, their group arrived within a range of twenty kilometres from the pulse’s source. At this moment, Jian Chen began to take note of Donglin Yanxue’s reactions secretly, but he discovered no changes. She had not discovered the pulse.

When they were three kilometres from the pulse, the group’s direction shifted slightly, and they gradually drew further and further away from the pulse’s location.

Jian Chen stopped without any hesitation and said, “Wandering around aimlessly like this isn’t a good idea. Let’s take a break and discuss our plans first.” With that, Jian Chen dispersed the Radiant Saint Force around him and descended to the ground without anyone’s consent.

The eight protectors behind Donglin Yanxue immediately became troubled. They glanced at Jian Chen then back at Donglin Yanxue as they began to hesitate. They did not know whether they should continue onwards behind Donglin Yanxue or stop like Jian Chen.

The eight of them understood that although they were the protectors of the candidate, they obviously had to protect Jian Chen since vice-leader Xuan Zhan was bold enough to allow him into the World of Moon and Star with a one-colored soulcore.

In the World of Moon and Star, there were many vicious beasts, with many at the level of Godkings. They truly did not dare to leave Jian Chen alone. If an accident occurred, and the vice-leader came looking for the people responsible, it would not be a burden that they could bear.

However, Donglin Yanxue frowned slightly. She looked at Jian Chen with quite some displeasure and said, “The Radiant Origin Pearls are extremely difficult to find. All searching methods are useless. Finding the pearls is completely up to luck, so do you really think these useless plans can help to find Radiant Origin Pearls?”

“It’s better than running around aimlessly,” Jian Chen said casually. He glanced around and discovered a ten-meter-tall boulder three kilometers above the pulse’s origins.

Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. He said, “There’s a rock there. Let me sit down first and come up with a plan so that we can collect some Radiant Origin Pearls.” After saying that, Jian Chen directly flew towards the rock in the distance.

Donglin Yanxue could not help but become greatly displeased when she saw Jian Chen ignore the bigger picture and continue to act as he wished in the World of Moon and Star. Ever since her impression of Jian Chen shattered, she had started to view him in a completely different light. Jian Chen’s actions right now repulsed Donglin Yanxue very much.

From Donglin Yanxue’s perspective, Jian Chen’s current actions were basically a waste of her precious time.

After all, they only had one year to find the Radiant Origin Pearls. Every second was extremely precious.

Jian Chen had already arrived before the rock now. He sat on it leisurely. The pulse he had sensed earlier came from below the rock.

At such proximity, Jian Chen could sense with even greater clarity that the object producing the pulse was a milky-white pearl hidden beneath the soil.

“That should be the Radiant Saint Pearl,” Jian Chen had basically confirmed that this was the pearl they were looking for.

At this moment, Donglin Yanxue flew over with the eight protectors, feeling displeased and impatient.

Jian Chen sat on the rock and silently sensed Donglin Yanxue’s distance from the pearl. He wanted to learn how close she needed to be before she could sense the existence of the Radiant Saint Pearl.

Finally, when Donglin Yanxue was a kilometre away from him, her expression changed. In the next moment, surprise and joy flooded her eyes. She turned into a white streak of light and hurried towards the rock that Jian Chen sat on as quickly as she could. She called out to Jian Chen, “Chang Yang, move!”

“What?” As if he had been caught off-guard, Jian Chen stared at Donglin Yanxue blankly in bewilderment.

“I told you to move. I want to shatter that rock. If you still don’t move, don’t blame me for hurting you,“ Donglin Yanxue called out. The Laws of the Hallowed had already condensed around her. She created a Radiant Palm, sending it towards the rock.

Seeing this, Jian Chen’s expression finally ‘changed’. Without any hesitation, he directly leapt off the rock.

Although it was impossible for Donglin Yanxue to harm him, he had to play the role of a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore.

Bang!

Just when Jian Chen separated from the rock, the boulder loudly shattered from Donglin Yanxue’s strike. It was reduced to flying rubble.

A resplendent white light shone out from beneath the boulder. A thumb-sized, white pearl lay there quietly.

“A Radiant Origin Pearl!” Donglin Yanxue cried out. She took a step forward and picked up the pearl in joy.

“So that’s a Radiant Origin Pearl…”

“It can only be seen with the naked eye, and it’s impossible to detect it with the senses of the soul. The Radiant Origin Pearl is truly wondrous…”

…

At this moment, the eight protectors had also arrived. They all studied the Radiant Saint Pearl with curiosity as they clicked their tongues in admiration.

Suddenly, Donglin Yanxue looked at Jian Chen with suspicion and said, “Chang Yang, I sensed something from almost a kilometre away, while you were only ten meters away from the Radiant Origin Pearl. Didn’t you sense its existence from such a close distance?”

“Don’t forget that you’re a nine star genius, while I’m only a one star genius,” Jian Chen said helplessly. He did not want to expose his talent so soon.

“You can’t blame junior Chang Yang for this. The Radiant Origin Pearl is just too hard to sense. Even with my seven-colored soulcore, I could only sense it vaguely from around a hundred metres away…” A protector said after Jian Chen finished talking.

“Sigh. With my talent as a three star genius and my seven-colored soulcore, I could only vaguely sense its existence from ten meters away. It only makes sense for junior Chang Yang to fail to discover the Radiant Origin Pearl…” Another protector added shamefully, dispersing the doubts Donglin Yanxue had towards Jian Chen perfectly.

Donglin Yanxue’s doubts mostly subsided after she heard the two protectors’ words. She stowed the Radiant Origin Pearl away and said to Jian Chen, “Chang Yang, what good plans do you have? Hurry up and tell me; don’t waste too much time.”
