Chaotic Sword God

The news that the Heaven-splitting Ancestor was suppressed by the Wind Sovereign and that the clan under his rule had been massacred by a former enemy immediately spread throughout the entire Saints’ World like wildfire. All of the peak organisations learnt about it.

Due to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, the Heaven-splitting clan had already stood at the peak of the Saints’ World for many years. They were an immense organisation only second to archaean clans.

Yet in the end, even such a powerful organisation had been destroyed in the blink of an eye. That obviously led to a great uproar in the Saints’ World.

Through everyone’s discussions, the fact that the Heaven-splitting clan had faced the punishment of the Wind Sovereign because they claimed a supreme treasure of the Spiritsages for themselves also made rounds in the Saints’ World. All the various organisations gradually learnt about that.

Immediately, many tremendous organisations that stood at the peak of the Saints’ World shivered. As a matter of fact, the organisations that had experienced some small conflicts and skirmishes with the Spiritsages in the past all began to question themselves, worrying whether the treasures they gave the Spiritsages in the past were enough to settle these grievances.

On a certain planet in the Saints’ World, several dozen experts sat together in a majestic hall in a renowned peak organisation.

All of them were Primordial realm experts and currently stern. The two old men at the front were both Grand Primes, one early Grand Prime and one mid Grand Prime.

Everyone sat in silence. In the end, the mid Grand Prime ancestor said sternly, “Let’s return our clan treasure to the Spiritsages.”

When he said that, everyone’s faces changed drastically.

“Ancestor, we mustn’t do that. Once we lose the clan treasure, our status will plummet.”

“Ancestor, our clan treasure was obtained by our predecessor accidentally. It belongs to the Spiritsages, but we obtained it through pure coincidence. We didn’t steal it from the Spiritsages. There’s no reason for us to return it.”

“Ancestor, the implications of this are significant. We must give it thorough consideration.”

Many experts spoke up in the majestic discussion hall.

“At least it’s better for us to return it proactively than for experts of the Spiritsages to come knocking. It’s not like you don’t know what happened to the Heaven-splitting clan of the Nine Clouds Plane. Is our clan supposed to follow the same footsteps as them? After all, we also have quite a few enemies in the Saints’ World,” said the mid Grand Prime.

……

…

At the same time, on the Devour Plane of the seven sacred planes, a peak organisation powerful enough to be ranked among the top third also had a gathering of their upper echelon to discuss an important decision.

“Our clan did spend a tremendous amount of resources to purchase these three treasures from an auction, but the Spiritsages might not recognise this. After thorough consideration, it’s best if we return these three treasures to the Spiritsages. It will be a tremendous loss for us, but it’s better than annihilation,” a Grand Prime ancestor sitting at the front said painfully.

“Ancestor, this is the Devour Plane, the Devour Plane watched by the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. Surely the Spiritsages aren’t bold enough to make trouble here? After all, we purchased those three items. We have no grievances with the Spiritsages either,” said a Chaotic Prime seated below. It was not that he did not understand the severity of the issue. The three treasures truly meant far too much to their organisation.

Losing them would be a heavy blow.

“Why would the Bloodtear Grand Exalt oppose the Wind Sovereign for us?” The ancestor sighed. He felt extremely powerless inside. The Spiritsages now had a sovereign, so they could not help but be very careful whenever they made contact with the Spiritsages.

In particular, after what had happened to the Heaven-splitting clan, anything involving the Spiritsages, whether big or small, required utmost caution.

The Wind Venerable suppressing the Heaven-splitting Ancestor had already set off a chain reaction in the Saints’ World.

The Spiritsages were still the remnants of a major world after all. They had migrated to the Saints’ World countless years ago and lost numerous treasures to the organisations of the Saints’ World through conflicts with the native experts.

They even had their sovereign god artifacts stolen before.

Many of these lost treasures had already been returned after the Wind Venerable became a sovereign, but there were still organisations that believed that they had obtained the treasures rightfully. They refused to return them and continue to treat them as their own.

However, after what had happened to the Heaven-splitting clan, the organisations who refused to return the treasures all changed their minds without hesitation, parting with the treasures reluctantly and returning them to the Spiritsages.

It was a string of unintended consequences. The Wind Venerable’s actions had helped the Spiritsages recover a number of treasures!

However, as the reason for all of this, the Wind Venerable was completely unconcerned. He was not an unreasonable person. He was also aware that the people who possessed some of the lost treasures now had obtained them through proper avenues at great costs. He did not try to recover them.

Many of the treasures could no longer interest the Wind Sovereign after all. The real reason why he personally retrieved the saint cores this time was not because they held any significance to the Spiritsages, but because Jian Chen happened to need them for forging the twin swords.

In a forbidden ground within the Spiritsages, the Wind Venerable created an independent space with the fetal membrane of the world. In this independent space, the current clan leader of the Spiritsages, Ling Tong, focused on forging the materials. He selected them through a careful process before refining and purifying them of any impurities, preparing them for forging the swords.

At this moment, the Wind Venerable’s expression changed. In the next moment, three dazzling saint cores appeared in the fetal membrane of the world.

Gazing at the three saint cores, the Wind Venerable smiled. “These three saint cores were originally in the possession of two archaean clans. I didn’t plan on recovering them, yet they’ve delivered them to me instead. All five of the remaining saint cores have all been returned to the clan now.”

Hearing that, Ling Tong, who was currently refining the materials, raised his head slightly. When he saw the three saint cores, his expression could not help but become mixed. He understood that the old clan leader had probably forgotten about the saint cores already. It probably never even crossed his mind to recover them.

The people or organisations that possessed the saint cores were no longer the same people as before. All of the saint cores had exchanged hands several times already, ending up in the hands of their current owners through different ways. Who knew how many owners they had been through along the way.

As a result, every saint core they recovered was equivalent to forcefully taking them from an organisation.

Meanwhile, the old clan leader had never been an unreasonable person.

If it were not for Jian Chen, the old clan leader probably never would have done something like this.

“Jian Chen’s importance to the old clan leader has actually reached such a level. Sigh, how unbelievable.” Ling Tong sighed to himself. He struggled to imagine what kind of relationship existed between Jian Chen and the old clan leader.
