Chaotic Sword God

“You don’t have to ask any further. I’m giving the Heaven-splitting Divine Force to you. You can use it to begin a new way, or you can add it to that weapon. It should lead to some unexpected effects,” said the Anatta Grand Exalt.

At this moment, the Heaven-splitting Divine Force hovered before the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths silently. There was not a lot, just five strands.

Although it was only five strands, the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths was still extremely excited. He behaved like he had just obtained treasure.

“Heaven-splitting Divine Force is even rarer than Ancient Chaos Qi. We can still gather some Ancient Chaos Qi from the chaotic space, but Heaven-splitting Divine Force only appears with the formation of larger worlds. There are just far too few large worlds that can produce Heaven-splitting Divine Force.” Gazing at the Heaven-splitting Divine Force before him, the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths was amazed. Let alone him, probably a good handful of the sovereigns born throughout history had not seen Heaven-splitting Divine Force before.

The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths accepted the Heaven-splitting Divine Force without hesitation. “The Heaven-splitting Divine Force can begin a new way for me, but unless I comprehend it to the limit, it’s not of much help to me. As a result, I plan on merging all of the Heaven-splitting Divine Force into the weapon. Hopefully, that will make it even more powerful.” The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths glanced at the Anatta Grand Exalt deeply. He clearly realised that the Heaven-splitting Divine Force the Anatta Grand Exalt had used to complete the Way of Love in such a short amount of time must have been extremely shocking.

“Now, are you really going to…” the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths said, but he stopped half way and did not continue. He glanced at the Anatta Grand Exalt with a complicated gaze before leaving with the Heaven-splitting Divine Force. He heaved a gentle sigh.

After the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths had left, another cluster of Heaven-splitting Divine Force appeared in the Anatta Grand Exalt’s hand, but it was not a few strands, but an entire ball this time.

Gazing at the ball of Heaven-splitting Divine Force, the Anatta Grand Exalt murmured, “The true wonders of Heaven-splitting Divine Force can only be properly released by those who have comprehended the laws to the limit. When combined with Chaos Fruit of Ways, they can even complement one another.”

“It’s instead an utter waste for those below Grand Exalt to absorb Heaven-splitting Divine Force.”

Time flew like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, it had already been an entire century since Jian Chen began opening up a space in his soul in the Darkstar World.

In the century’s time, he did not take a single step away from the peak of the mountain. Apart from brewing Comprehension Tea, he spent all of his remaining time on opening the space in his soul.

During the century, Jian Chen’s strength did not increase at all while he drastically depleted the Comprehension Tea he had gathered from the Xuanhuang Microcosm.

The space in his soul served an extremely great purpose to him. Jian Chen recognised its value with a single glance, which was why he went so far with comprehending the secret technique.

Suddenly, Jian Chen, who sat like a stone statue, quivered. At that moment, there was a rumble in his soul, blurring his entire consciousness temporarily.

Vaguely, Jian Chen sensed a tiny space silently appear in his soul.

Very soon, Jian Chen’s consciousness cleared up again. He immediately noticed how his soul had changed. A tiny space that resembled a speck of dust had appeared in his soul.

Jian Chen instinctively sent his focus inside, diving into the tiny space. Immediately, a colossal space appeared in his senses.

The space in his soul seemed as tiny as a speck of dust from the outside. It was very inconspicuous and very difficult to notice. However, it was much larger on the inside, so vast that it basically resembled a miniature world.

“Is this the soul space?” Jian Chen studied the soul space carefully with a sense of novelty. At the same time, he eased up inside. After spending a century, he had finally opened up the soul space as he had wished.

“The soul space seems to be continually expanding and growing larger. The space should be proportional to the strength of the soul.” Jian Chen studied the soul space before diverting his focus from it.

He did not care about the size of the space. Just being able to use it was enough.

With the soul space having taken shape, Jian Chen moved the items in his Space Ring into the soul space eagerly. Very soon, he had placed all his valuables inside. He only kept a small number of resources that he used on a daily basis in his Space Ring.

“I’ve already placed the ten droplets of essence blood and the spine of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits in the soul space. Even Grand Primes can forget about stealing them from me now. No, they won’t even notice that I’m carrying these treasures.”

“The soul space really is as the Darkstar Emperor said. It’s much more well-hidden than Space Rings. It’s a good place to hide items.”

Jian Chen smiled in satisfaction. “I’ve already gotten the ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood, and I’ve opened up the soul space. It’s time for me to leave the Darkstar World.”

“However, before I leave, there’s still one last thing I need to do.”

Jian Chen vanished as soon as he thought of that. He immediately arrived in the Darkstar Divine Hall through the Laws of Space and returned the plate of black jade that recorded the secret technique to the Darkstar Emperor.

“You’ve already developed a space in your soul?” The Darkstar Emperor was surprised as he accepted the black plate. He had checked its contents before, so he understood just how difficult it was to practise the secret technique.

Jian Chen nodded.

The Darkstar Emperor immediately gasped upon receiving confirmation. He said in amazement, “You’ve actually mastered a secret technique that takes ten thousand years at the very least to achieve success in just a century. Even if you had the assistance of Comprehension Tea, you couldn’t have been that fast.”

The Darkstar Emperor’s eyes shone brightly. “Right now, the hopes I see on you are only growing with each passing day. Our Darkstar race is wagering all of our hopes to break free on you.”

Jian Chen smiled and said, “I’m about to leave here, but before I go, there’s something else I want to discuss with you. Has your Darkstar race considered re-establishing trade with the outside world?”

When he heard that, the Darkstar Emperor became serious. After a moment of thought, he said slowly, “Some of the resources from the outside world are extremely important to us. I’ve always been considering re-establishing trade with the outside world over the past few years. It’s just that the incident in the Hundred Saint City back then during the great ceremony has left us all highly vigilant.”

“Restarting trade is possible, but we’ll definitely set down new rules that all outsiders must obey. We’ll never allow a second city like the Hundred Saint City.”

“Darkstar Emperor, I hope you can prioritise trade with the Heavenly Crane clan. If it’s possible, please make the Heavenly Crane clan the sole provider to your Darkstar race,” Jian Chen said with a smile.
