Chaotic Sword God

“In the past, I already learnt from senior Samsaric that the situation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was not particularly optimistic, but I didn’t expect them to decline so much, such that even mighty Immortal Emperors of the sect can’t get any peace after death,” Jian Chen sighed deeply. He thought of the archaean clans of the Saints’ World, as well as the Spiritsages and the God clan from the past.

These organisations had declined already, but they still possessed quite a rich heritage and sturdy foundation. They were still substantial existences that ruled over a region.

“Perhaps the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens no longer even comes close to those organisations. I just don’t know how weak they’ve become,” Jian Chen thought.

“The three organisations that control this place basically deserve to die. They’ve probably changed the names of the sword techniques engraved on the stone tablets here because the Immortal Emperor from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would probably never do something like this,” the sword spirits said resentfully.

Jian Chen nodded slowly in response. “What I’m curious about right now is how this Immortal Emperor perished.” As he said that, Jian Chen shut his eyes, merging his soul with the surroundings and establishing a connection with the environment, trying to learn something from the world.

Unfortunately, he found nothing. This place had existed for far too long, and he could sense that much of the information and traces left behind had been erased.

Under these circumstances, even regular techniques of turning back time would not work.

Perhaps only experts with an extremely great mastery over the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time could find some matters of the past.

At this moment, an old man walked over slowly from afar. Dressed in white robes, he seemed very sagely. He studied the place as he walked over like he was a tourist, filled with curiosity about everything here.

The presence that the old man gave off was a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal’s, so a Godking in the Saints’ World.

However, Jian Chen noticed with a single glance that the old man had concealed his cultivation. He was actually an Immortal Monarch.

Immortal Monarchs corresponded with Infinite Primes of the Saints’ World.

Very soon, the old man arrived in the very depths of the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum. He stood before Jian Chen and also studied the sword formation in front of them. In the end, he looked at the divine hall protected by the sword formation.

“Fellow, looks like you’re curious about the things inside the divine hall as well. Forget about it. The formation around the divine hall is extremely powerful. Even the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of Yuqing, and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds are powerless over it, so you can only look at the things here. Forget about taking them for yourself.” The old man stared at the divine hall and shook his head with a sigh.

“What is there inside?” Jian Chen asked.

“What else could there be? An Immortal Emperor’s legacy, obviously.” The old man glanced at Jian Chen in a strange manner and said, “The most precious items of the mausoleum are all inside the divine hall. If you can pass through the formation, all of the treasures inside are yours. However, countless immortals have come here over the past several hundreds of thousand years. Countless immortals have attempted to pass through the sword formation, but all of them ended in failure. Who knows how many perished inside.”

The old man lamented. He paced around the sword formation and said, “It’s said that this sword formation has already entered a deadlock. All Immortal Monarchs that enter it will face death. Even when Immortal Emperors try to enter this formation, they might not necessarily be able to emerge safely.”

“That’s because this sword formation has claimed the lives of Immortal Emperors in the past!”

Reaching there, the old man became extremely stern. There was a hint of fear and fright in his eyes.

Jian Chen finally shifted his gaze away from the sword formation and divine hall. He slowly turned towards the old man beside him as his eyes shone with a strange light.

He had disguised himself as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal through the mask of the Illusionary Daemon race, while the old man was a mighty Immortal Monarch. Normally, all Immortal Monarchs basically swaggered around in front of Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, yet he behaved so approachably with someone who was an entire realm of cultivation beneath him, which piqued Jian Chen’s interest.

“Fellow, why are you telling me all this for no reason? The information regarding Immortal Emperors doesn’t seem to be something that regular immortals should know,” Jian Chen asked indifferently.

The old man smiled and clasped his fist at Jian Chen. “If I’ve guessed correctly, your true cultivation should be far more than just a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. You should be an Immortal Monarch at the very least.”

A sliver of surprise appeared in Jian Chen’s eyes before he smiled gently. “How did you tell?”

“That’s because you don’t bear the immortal tablet from the three organisations. The mausoleum has been occupied by them but not everyone has to pay. Over the years, many disciples and experts from large organisations have come here. None of them have needed to pay any immortal crystals to the three organisations, so they obviously did not carry the immortal tablet.”

The old man studied Jian Chen with a smile and continued, “However, these disciples and experts from large organisations basically all just took a stroll before leaving. Low level immortals would never think of the divine hall, while true experts will notice the wonders and strength of this formation and be forced to leave as there is nothing else that they can do.”

In the end, the old man clasped his fist at Jian Chen and smiled. “I come from the Water-splitting sect of the Immortal Region of Green Plains. I’ve proactively told you all this because I’m worried that you might barge into the formation rashly without knowing the dangers. If what I’ve said has been of any help, then please treat it as a gesture of friendship.”

With that, the old man left casually.

Jian Chen watched as the old man left. He was completely unperturbed. Instead, he secretly communicated with the sword spirits, “Zi Ying, Qing Suo, do you have any way to enter the sword formation? Since the owner of this place is an Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, he should be brought back to the sect and buried there.”

“Of course, we do. Since this sword formation comes from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens obviously possesses the method of entry. Even with the gate of life and the gate of death sealed, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens still has ways to bypass these gates. However, only core, high-ranking members of the sect will know this method,” said the sword spirits before telling Jian Chen how to enter the sword formation.

After learning the method of entry from the sword spirits, Jian Chen shut his eyes and sank into his thoughts for a moment before smiling gently.

In the next moment, he took a step and directly entered the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation.

Immediately, killing intent radiated outwards as the formation began to surge. Thousands of strands of sword Qi manifested, surrounding Jian Chen.

Right as the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation erupted, a middle-aged man looked in the direction of the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum from the forbidden grounds of the Immortal Sect of Luofu. Cold light flashed through his eyes. “Has another person gone to die? Hmph, the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has already sealed off its gate of life and gate of death. How can an outsider breach it? If they want to breach the formation or pass through it, only disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens have a slight possibility of it.”

“It’s just a pity that several hundred thousand years have passed and not a single disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has appeared here. The Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation is even located above an underground spiritual vein. It has an ample supply of energy, such that it’ll basically never run out.”

“Perhaps it’s not that no disciple from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has discovered this place. Instead, they don’t have the ability to pass through the formation or the courage to do so.”

The middle-aged man was the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Luofu, an Immortal Emperor!

It was not just the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Sect of Luofu. At the instant when the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation erupted, the Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Yuqing and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds also looked in the direction of the mausoleum at the same time.
