Chaotic Sword God

After finding someone to take care of Bi Lian, Jian Chen visited Nubis.

When Jian Chen saw him, Nubis was laying in a seat lazily, basking in the sun. He seemed extremely relaxed and satisfied, in great leisure.

However, Jian Chen knew that this was merely his external appearance. In reality, the depths of Nubis’ heart had already become very gloomy, like an old man who had lost his youthful liveliness and approached the end of his life. He was without any vigour at all.

As the wounds he had sustained in the past were far too severe, damaging his bloodline, it was completely impossible for Nubis to make any more progress with his cultivation anymore. That was why he possessed none of his spirit from before. As a result, he basically stayed in the Tian Yuan clan over the recent years like he was in retirement, ready to live out the rest of his life in peace.

Jian Chen did not hide himself. His footsteps disturbed Nubis, which made him lift his head subconsciously. He immediately saw Jian Chen walking over.

“Jian Chen, you’ve returned? How is the Tian Yuan Continent?” The depths of Nubis’ eyes were quite hollow as if he had already accepted his fate, wasting away his life willingly without any hopes at all.

Jian Chen had swore that he would bring back a Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon Fruit before he ventured to the lower world, but Nubis did not take that to heart.

Over the years, he had read through a large number of records in the clan. Even though he did not find too much information regarding the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God, he could tell roughly how rare it was from the fragments of information he could find.

How could such a rare fruit be obtained so easily?

“Everything is well on the Tian Yuan Continent. It’s flourishing even more than the age when we were there…” Jian Chen gave a rough description of the Tian Yuan Continent’s current state.

He stood before Nubis and gazed at the hollowness in the depths of his eyes, as well as the presence of despondence he gave off, which made him sigh inside.

He understood Nubis’ feelings extremely well, as losing all of his abilities in a dangerous environment like the Saints’ World was an extremely heavy mental blow to anyone.

Jian Chen slowly opened his hand. In there sat a box crafted from high quality jade. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, “Nubis, I’ve already found the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God for you. Your damaged bloodline and vital essence have hopes of recovering.”

When he heard that, Nubis suddenly stiffened up. He became completely stunned.

Jian Chen handed the jade box to Nubis. “The Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God is extraordinary. Not only is its quality extremely high, but it’s even been contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi as well. Its effects are so powerful that it even surpasses other Sovereign Fruits of the Dragon God from the outside world.”

“As a result, not only can this Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God allow you to make a complete recovery, but it’ll even strengthen your bloodline tremendously too, such that it advances by leaps and bounds.”

Nubis lay in the seat without budging. His face was blank like he was a statue.

Only after several seconds did his body begin to tremble. He slowly shifted his gaze over and stared at Jian Chen in disbelief. He said with a trembling voice, “B-brother, w-w-what did you say? Y-y-you already found a Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God? T-t-t-the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God… is right in here?”

Gazing at Nubis’ expression of excitement and disbelief, Jian Chen could not help but feel slightly pained. He opened the jade box slowly, and the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God was clearly revealed before Nubis.

“Look, this is the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God.”

Nubis’ gaze was glued to the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God. He was unable to look away from it anymore. Even his lips trembled in excitement, having begun shedding tears of gratitude already.

……

Afterwards, Nubis ingested the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God and immediately entered secluded cultivation.

Jian Chen did not idle around either. He also locked himself up in a secret room and got to work with refining high grade Godking pills.

At this moment, in a secret room deep below the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen sat before a pill cauldron and used flames conjured from Chaotic Force to refine Godking pills.

Jian Chen had already completely familiarised himself with the method and steps to refine high grade Godking pills. On top of that, after absorbing the Heaven-splitting Divine Force from the Xuanhuang Microcosm, he had made another breakthrough with his comprehension of the Laws of Alchemy, reaching a higher level.

As a result, not only was Jian Chen much faster compared to before, but his control over the entire process was even better too.

With his current mastery over the Way of Alchemy, it was much easier for him to refine high grade Godking pills.

With Xu Ran’s assistance, the first cauldron of high grade Godking pills were completed very soon. At this moment, Jian Chen added a few droplets of Xuanhuang spiritual fluid into the cauldron.

Immediately, a profound presence seeped out of the cauldron.

“This is… Xuanhuang Qi.” Xu Ran’s eyes shone. Surprise immediately filled her wrinkly face.

After adding in a few droplets of spiritual fluid that had been contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi, the cauldron of high grade Godking pills that Jian Chen refined immediately seemed a little more surreal. Faint Xuanhuang Qi permeated them.

The Xuanhuang Qi was not bound by the laws of the world. Even the three thousand ways could not restrict it.

That was because it had surpassed the three thousand ways.

A minute later, Jian Chen suddenly slammed the cauldron, and the medium quality god artifact immediately produced a deep rumble. The newly-refined high grade Godking pills rushed out of the cauldron with scorching heat. Jian Chen caught them with a single swipe.

Gazing at the slightly-yellow Godking pills in his hands and sensing the slightly surreal presence that had become rather difficult to grasp, Jian Chen finally smiled faintly. He murmured, “Now, high grade Godking pills will no longer be affected by the restraint. After all, it’s been contaminated by Xuanhuang Qi. The wills and laws set down by Grand Exalts don’t apply to Xuanhuang Qi.”

“I’m running out of time. I need to get refining.” Afterwards, Jian Chen began to refine pills like a madman, truly seizing every moment and refusing to waste even an instant.

His Laws of the Sword had already reached the Major Achievement of Sword Immortal. He could refine the fifth strand of Profound Sword Qi if he wanted to.

However, he could not be bothered with that. He devoted all of his time to refining pills.

Time trickled by silently. Very soon, two decades had passed.

After twenty years of refining pills like a madman, Jian Chen had successfully refined over ten thousand high grade Godking pills.

However, Jian Chen knew that while over ten thousand high grade Godking pills seemed to be quite a lot, it was a drop in the ocean to the Darkstar race with how numerous they were.
