Chaotic Sword God

Afterwards, Jian Chen asked a few more questions before leaving the Pavilion of Alchemy.

He did not obtain any more useful information from Dan Chenzi. Dan Chenzi did not even seem to know how many experts there were in the sect or what other treasures and weapons they were hiding.

He had been imprisoned in the Pavilion of Alchemy, and it had been many years since he set foot outside. The senses of his soul were unable to leave the vicinity of the Pavilion of Alchemy. He only had long-term contact with the same Immortal Emperors, and they were all early Immortal Emperors.

Dan Chenzi had never met any of the late Immortal Emperor great elders of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, not even once.

Jian Chen covered his tracks with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and began to comb through the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants carefully.

The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was extremely large. Unable to use the senses of his soul, he would have to spend a very long time if he wanted to search through the entire sect.

During this time, his Chaotic Force was being steadily depleted. The Divine Armour of Heavenflight took far too much energy to maintain. Without energy like his Chaotic Force, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors would fail to maintain the god artifact’s ability.

Before long, Jian Chen stopped before a lake surrounded by mountains. The lake before him was extremely large, a hundred kilometres across. The surface of the lake surged with spiritual Qi, producing rainbow arcs. He could tell with a single glance that it was treasured land.

As a matter of fact, since the spiritual Qi here was far too dense, it had condensed into spiritual fluid that fell as rain.

“There are probably several dozen spiritual veins under the lake.” Jian Chen was surprised by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ wealth once again.

Suddenly, he discovered something. He stared straight at the centre of the lake.

A golden shadow appeared under the water there, inhaling the spiritual Qi in the surroundings.

It was a fish around ten metres long, glistening with golden light. Each scale seemed to be forged from gold. It floated to the surface and sucked in with its mouth. The mist gathered on the surface of the lake surged violently, swallowed by the fish in large gulps.

“This is a Dragon Blood Fish. Legend has it that it is a creation from a droplet of the ancestral dragon’s essence blood. Even I have only read a simple introduction to Dragon Blood Fish in an ancient record. I thought that they had gone extinct a long time ago, but I never expected to see one here.” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. He could not help but recall the introduction regarding Dragon Blood Fish that he saw in the ancient record.

They were an extremely rare species. Even though the shred of the ancestral dragon’s essence blood had already become extremely thin after breeding for countless generations, it still was not enough to hide its value and preciousness.

Ancestral dragons were extremely powerful existences. They were said to be the only supreme sovereign that could rival the warring gods.

Its value was as clear as day for it to be connected to an existence like that.

Suddenly, another Dragon Blood Fish floated up to the surface, playing around in the water with the other Dragon Blood Fish and creating great splashes.

“There are two Dragon Blood Fish, a male and a female!” Jian Chen’s eyes shone as his heart burned with interest.

He recalled the various legends regarding Dragon Blood Fish. It was said that any sect that obtained a Dragon Blood Fish would definitely soar aloft and attain new heights.

Dragon Blood Fish were the fortune of a sect, as well as the misfortune of a sect.

They were misfortune because Dragon Blood Fish were far too precious, leading to the competition between many peak organisations. Without sufficiently great strength, even certain peak organisations could perish because of them.

They were fortune because Dragon Blood Fish were basically covered in treasures. If they used their blood for alchemy, not only would it amplify the effects of the pills by several fold, but it would also endow the pills with the presence of ways.

Apart from their blood, their skin and scales that could be replenished were all superior materials for alchemy and smithing. They were all rare heavenly resources.

Without any exaggeration, possessing a Dragon Blood Fish was basically equivalent to possessing an endless supply of heavenly resources.

That was because the Dragon Blood Fish could regenerate all of these parts.

Meanwhile, ingesting their flesh came with boundless benefits too. It could accelerate the process of cultivation drastically.

However, while Dragon Blood Fish were precious, keeping them alive came at an extremely significant price as well.

Jian Chen stood on the shore and admired the Dragon Blood Fish before leaving quietly.

He understood that he still could not touch them yet.

Jian Chen continued to search through the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. As he ventured deeper, more and more precious resources appeared.

Only now did Jian Chen realise that the heavenly resources in the five medicinal gardens were only part of it. On the top of these mountains, he discovered several other smaller medicinal gardens. They only had a few dozen heavenly resources each, but all of the heavenly resources planted here were treasures.

There were either dwellings or divine halls standing near these medicinal gardens. He could vaguely sense the presence of Immortal Emperors.

Jian Chen could tell from a single glance that they were the private possessions of these Immortal Emperors.

Along the way, Jian Chen had already discovered over a hundred Immortal Monarchs and over a dozen Immortal Emperor great elders. That was not even all of them. The number of experts the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants possessed had already surpassed his expectations.

Before long, Jian Chen found the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ treasury. It was built into a mountain. Its entrance was at the top and labelled with simple, large words engraved into the stone, radiating with aura.

The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ security for such an important place of the sect was extremely tight. The entire mountain was enveloped by a powerful formation. Even when compared to the protective formation of the sect, it came close in terms of strength.

There were even two Immortal Monarch elders stationed beside the entrance all year round.

A divine hall levitated in the area behind the treasury, located in the further depths of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, shining with dazzling light.

The divine hall was like a sun to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Its rays virtually reached the entire sect.

“A high quality god artifact!” When Jian Chen saw the divine hall, he immediately recognised its quality.

With the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength, they definitely possessed many high quality god artifacts, but this divine hall was the only high quality god artifact that he had discovered outside.

Further behind the levitating divine hall stood seven tall towers. Even though the towers seemed to be constructed from regular rock, Jian Chen could feel a heavy pressure from them.

That was the pressure of Immortal Exalts!

The Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had already been gone for many years, but they clearly spent long periods of time cultivating in seclusion there. As a result, they left behind their presence in the seven towers.

“The seven towers all have the lingering presence of Immortal Exalts!” Jian Chen was stern. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants actually possessed seven Immortal Exalts.

“I didn’t expect the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength to grow instead of decline after three million years,” said Qing Suo slowly while remaining hidden inside Jian Chen. She was speechless.

“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength has managed to grow rapidly probably due to the Dragon Blood Fish.” Zi Ying also appeared, clearly having sensed the residual presence in the seven towers.

Even if he ignored the individual cultivations of these Immortal Exalts, just their number alone gave them absolute dominance.

The count already neared the number of Immortal Exalts that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possessed during their prime.
