Chaotic Sword God

“Value on par with a high quality god artifact…”

“Can kill Immortal Emperors…”

Chen Shuzhi fiddled around with the Immortal-destroying Thunder in his hand constantly. Whenever he thought of the might of the Immortal-destroying Thunder, his emotions surged with excitement.

There were no newly-broken-through Immortal Monarchs who could control their emotions when they suddenly obtained a great weapon that could kill Immortal Emperors.

“I used just the mere title of a young sect master to exchange for such a precious Immortal-destroying Thunder. I never expected such a great bargain.” When he thought of that, Chen Shuzhi was unable to repress his inner joy anymore. He could not help but smile brilliantly.

From his perspective, the title of young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was truly worthless. After all, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already declined so much. The wealth of the sect had vanished a long time ago. Even if he sold off the entire sect, he probably could not exchange it for an Immortal-destroying Thunder that could kill an Immortal Emperor.

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens still had some legacies of Immortal Monarchs and letters of Immortal Emperors, but their value was limited. They were nowhere close to the value of the Immortal-destroying Thunder.

Coupled with the precarious situation that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens currently faced, the position of young sect master was definitely an arduous position that came with no benefits.

However, as Chen Shuzhi celebrated inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, he was completely unaware that Jian Chen was observing every action that he made.

How could a low quality divine artifact stop the senses of an Immortal Emperor’s soul?

“It’s just an Immortal-destroying Thunder that can kill an Immortal Emperor, yet it’s left you this happy?” Jian Chen wanted to laugh when he saw Chen Shuzhi’s response. After all, the Immortal-destroying Thunder basically did not have much use in his eyes.

“In your eyes, you think it was a tremendous bargain to exchange the empty title of a young sect master for an Immortal-destroying Thunder, but to me, I’m the one who got the bargain. After all, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is no regular sect. It may have declined, but it’s still the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Jian Chen sneered inside. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in his eyes were worlds apart from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in Chen Shuzhi’s eyes.

Afterwards, Jian Chen got a new dwelling for cultivation. As the young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, his status was vastly different from before. His dwelling had been moved to near the main peak, on quite a nice hill. Afterwards, a supreme quality immortal artifact divine hall was placed there as the young sect master’s residence.

Over the next few days, there was an endless stream of people that visited Jian Chen. There were the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, as well as the auxiliaries recruited externally.

After busying around for almost half a month, Jian Chen finally obtained some peace.

Afterwards, Jian Chen spent all of his time in his residence thinking. His mind was full of thoughts regarding how the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could break free from its current predicament and embark on the path of revival.

Expose his strength? It was not something he had not considered before. With his current strength, he could easily destroy the four surrounding organisations and the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.

But what came after destroying those organisations?

If it were just these organisations, then it was still within Jian Chen’s range of control.

However, once the organisations behind them began to take action personally, everything would become unpredictable.

“Looks like I can only handle this one step at a time.”

“I need to wait until the Primeval Divine Hall awakens at the very least. The biggest obstacle preventing the rise of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is the lack of an expert who can fend off Immortal Exalts on our side.” Jian Chen sighed inside. He checked the Primeval Divine Hall again and discovered that there was still no activity.

Last time, he had used a Grand Exalt’s essence blood to awaken it from its slumber, but now, he did not have a single droplet of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood on him anymore.

“Jian Chen, we’re holding an important meeting today. As the young sect master, you can’t be absent. Come to the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens immediately!” At this moment, Chen Shuzhi’s voice penetrated Jian Chen’s residence and rang out in his ear.

Upon receiving the message, Jian Chen immediately stood up and left the residence, entering the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens very soon.

Sect master Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong Fugui sat in front of everyone in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Basically all the core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had assembled below. Only Jin Sang was missing due to his injuries.

“Greetings, young sect master!”

All the core disciples in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens stood up and bowed to Jian Chen.

“There’s no need to be so polite, everyone!” Jian Chen clasped his fist towards everyone with a smile before directly making his way over to the young sect master’s seat and sitting down.

His seat was in front of all the core disciples, only beneath the sect master and elder’s.

“We’ve gathered everyone here today primarily to discuss a matter regarding the future developments of the sect. Everyone is free to speak their mind. You can mention whatever opinions you have,” said Chen Shuzhi.

“Sect master, I suggest that we ignore the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes and directly activate the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. After all, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens only has a century of time. If we still can’t hand over a Seven-coloured Sword Lotus after a hundred years, the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder will definitely move against us. We might have an Immortal-destroying Thunder, but a single Immortal-destroying Thunder is still not enough to fend off the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.”

“With the Immortal-destroying Thunder, the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes will definitely have second thoughts. They won’t be bold enough to stop us from activating the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.”

“That might not be a good idea. What if the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes actually sacrifices an Immortal Monarch to eliminate our Immortal-destroying Thunder? What are we supposed to do then?”

“In my opinion, we might as well sell the Immortal-destroying Thunder in the Observance Heaven city. We can use the funds from that to purchase a large amount of resources to sustain the sect’s development.”

“I suggest that we use the Immortal-destroying Thunder to hire an Immortal Emperor to protect our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As long as we have an Immortal Emperor, we’ll have it much easier.”

......

…

The core disciples gathered here all spoke their opinions, but after quite a long dispute, none of them came up with an effective idea.

After all, the Immortal-destroying Thunder was a consumable. It was powerful, but it came with very great downsides too. It was gone once it was used.

“Let’s end the discussion here for today. You can all go back. Jian Chen, you stay.” At this moment, elder Nong waved his hand in a rather tired manner.

Very soon, all the core disciples in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens were gone. Only Jian Chen, Chen Shuzhi, and Nong Fugui remained.

“Elder Nong, what ideas do you have?” Chen Shuzhi looked at Nong Fugui and asked calmly.

Elder Nong sighed gently and said, “Looks like we can only try this now.”

Chen Shuzhi’s eyes flashed when he heard that. He asked curiously, “Try what?”

“Open the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space!” Elder Nong said sternly.

“The Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space? Elder Nong, the Star Clustered Ancestor left some things behind?” Chen Shuzhi was surprised.

“The Star Clustered Ancestor was one of the three ancestors that survived, as well as the last ancestor of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to perish.” Elder Nong’s eyes became melancholic, seemingly sinking deep into his memories as he recalled the distant past. “Actually, when the last two ancestors died one after another, the Star Clustered Ancestor had already suspected that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would face an unprecedented tribulation. As a result, the Star Clustered Ancestor spent all of his final moments preparing silently. He attempted to build up some things that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could fall back on.”

“It was also at that moment that the Star Clustered Ancestor merged one of the eighteen Energy-gathering Divine Mountains of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with the space through his exceptional abilities, such that the divine mountain could not be taken away so easily. He made it similar to the Observance Heaven city.”

“Apart from the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, the Star Clustered Ancestor prepared some other things. As for how much he prepared and how much assistance they can offer to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, I am uncertain, as the Star Clustered Ancestor placed all of these items in the secret space he carved open himself.”

“However, when the Star Clustered Ancestor perished in the end, he was still clutching firmly onto a treasure that he had not finished forging. As a result, even I cannot say whether the things he left behind for the sect were complete or not.”

“Elder Nong, why do you know that the Star Clustered Ancestor left some aid behind? And why am I completely unaware of this as the sect master?”

“The Star Clustered Ancestor told me all of this in the past. Let alone you, even all those Immortal Emperor great elders were unaware of this.” When elder Nong said that, Chen Shuzhi and Jian Chen’s eyes immediately narrowed. The way they looked at elder Nong immediately changed.

“Don’t ask me why. I don’t know why the Star Clustered Ancestor told me this information in the past either. After all, I was only a lowly disciple who handled miscellaneous affairs in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens back then. I wasn’t even an external disciple.”

“If you really want an explanation, then perhaps the Star Clustered Ancestor had already calculated back then that I would be the longest-living disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Elder Nong smiled wryly.

“Elder Nong, since you know the Star Clustered Ancestor prepared all this, why has the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens never touched it after all these years?” Jian Chen asked in confusion.

“That’s because the Star Clustered Ancestor sealed up my memories. My memory of the secret space was only unsealed in the recent tens of thousand years. However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was no better than right now several tens of thousand years ago. Even if I mentioned what the Star Clustered Ancestor prepared for us, it would probably fail to resolve any issues at all. Instead, it would lead to an even greater loss for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“After all, not only does the secret space left behind by the Star Clustered Ancestor require a corresponding secret technique used by the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but it also requires the assistance of an expert skilled in the Laws of Space to open it up. On top of that, the Laws of Space must reach the levels of Immortal Emperors.”

“With the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ back then, if we really invited an Immortal Emperor over, wouldn’t we be inviting trouble? By the end of it all, we would probably obtain nothing at all.”

“You can use this time as an example. If Jian Chen had not suddenly appeared, I would rather lose the sect here and leave everything that the Star Clustered Ancestor prepared hidden forever than bring it up.”

“It’s exactly because we have the Immortal-destroying Thunder, a method to fend off Immortal Emperors, that I found the courage to divulge this secret.”
