Chaotic Sword God

Everyone who witnessed this was amazed.

However, the most heavily affected ones without a doubt elder Nong and Chen Shifang.

The former took a million years before reaching Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, while the latter still used several tens of thousand years despite his outstanding talent.

Yet right now, they had just watched a disciple of extremely low cultivation reach Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal in less than a decade, so it went without saying what kind of impact that had on them.

The first disciple who broke through to Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal immediately arrived before Jian Chen, dropping down to his knees and saying emotionally, “I’ve lived up to the sect master’s expectations and successfully reached Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. Thank you for the bestowment, sect master, thank you for the bestowment…”

Jian Chen nodded with a smile. “The development and strengthening of the sect will always be closely tied to the mainstay like you. I hope you can contribute to the sect in the future as well.”

“Everything that I have is a bestowment from the sect master, a bestowment from the sect. From today onwards, my life completely belongs to the sect. I completely belong to the sect. I swear to prosper and perish with the sect.” The disciple immediately swore an oath, demonstrating great sincerity.

The disciple’s sincerity filled Jian Chen with gladness as well. After assisting the disciple with breaking through to Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, the high grade Godking pill had also managed to win him over completely. Jian Chen had gained his complete loyalty.

Being able to go from a lowly Saint Emperor to a Godking in under a decade was definitely an unbelievably great fortune. Anyone who had the slightest bit of conscience and knew to repay others would remember this debt of kindness.

“You can go and familiarise yourself with your current cultivation for now!” Jian Chen said.

“Yes, sect master!” the disciple answered politely. Shortly afterwards, his expression suddenly changed. Some fright and panic appeared in his eyes.

“Oh no, sect master. I can sense my heavenly tribulation. W-w-why is it so bad?” The disciple’s face suddenly changed.

“Going from Earthen Immortal to Heavenly Immortal requires a tribulation. Going from Heavenly Immortal to Golden Immortal requires a tribulation. Breaking through each major realm of cultivation afterwards requires a tribulation as well.”

“Each tribulation requires a century of buffer time, yet I’ve broken through so many cultivation realms in just a decade, which has made all the heavenly tribulations accumulate together, leaving it with unimaginable might.” The disciple paled. His great joy from breaking through to his current realm of cultivation was immediately replaced with despair.

“Don’t worry. The sect has so many experts. The heavenly tribulation won’t harm you,” Jian Chen said without concern. He had already learnt that the Immortals’ World and the Saints’ World was rather different.

When cultivators of the Saints’ World broke through, there was no such thing as heavenly tribulations.

However, when the immortals of the Immortals’ World broke through major realms of cultivation, they needed to face heavenly tribulations.

If they survived the heavenly tribulation, then the world was their oyster.

If they could not, then annihilation awaited them.

Immortal-destroying Thunders were forged by experts from the tribulation lightning of immortals.

As for the method and technique for facing tribulations, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already accumulated very rich experience over all these years.

“Sect master, I’m skilled in the Way of Smithing. When these disciples undergo their tribulations, perhaps I can forge their heavenly tribulations into Immortal-destroying Thunders!” At this moment, an Immortal Emperor stepped forward behind Jian Chen.

“I grant you permission. I’ll leave the lot of you to deal with the heavenly tribulations of these disciples. You have to ensure that they undergo the tribulations successfully,” Jian Chen said to the Immortal Emperors behind him. Then he instructed Dan Chenzi to prepare some healing pills for the disciples as they faced their heavenly tribulations.

Elder Nong was responsible for allocating supreme quality immortal artifacts to these disciples that had ingested Godking pills.

Afterwards, years came and went. During this time, a large number of disciples would successfully reach Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal each year.

Gazing at the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that emerged from the spatial barriers one by one, elder Nong, Chen Shifang, Dan Chenzi, and the others all became rather numb.

By now, fifteen years had already passed since the high grade Godking pills had been distributed. Over six thousand of the eleven thousand disciples had already broken through successfully. All of them became Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. Not a single one of them failed.

Apart from Jian Chen who had already grown accustomed to this, everyone behind him was deeply shocked by the success rate.

Finally, after two decades, all of the disciples completed their breakthroughs.

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had gained over ten thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals all of a sudden. Their strength increased in a qualitative manner in an extremely short amount of time.

Of course, this was only an explosion in the strength of the mainstay. Their higher battle prowess remained the same as before.

Jian Chen did not choose to make the emergence of these Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals public to the sect. Instead, he hid them all away. He independently opened up an area in the Primeval Divine Hall to give them special training.

Afterwards, he mobilised all of the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He did not even spare the Immortal Monarch elders of the Hall of Alchemy. He made them provide one-on-one guidance to these Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, helping them familiarise themselves with how to use their powers.

These disciples had suddenly gained such great power, so basically all of them could not use it properly. They obviously required a period to become accustomed to it.

Apart from that, they all had to start from the very beginning with battle techniques, the usage of immortal artifacts, and so on.

Jian Chen did not personally attend to these miscellaneous matters. He delegated it all to these Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors.

“Now, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has over eleven thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. As for Immortal Monarchs, the Hall of Alchemy has over twenty, and I rescued eight from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If I include elder Nong and elder Chen, that’s around thirty in total.”

“As for Immortal Emperors, there is Lin Sen from the Divine Wood clan, Dan Chenzi of the Hall of Alchemy, and the seven I rescued from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. That’s nine if I don’t include myself.”

“For Immortal Exalts, I have the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid…”

“I wonder just how much power of the Divine Formation of the Heavens I can unleash with an arrangement like this.”

Jian Chen returned to his secret room alone. He calculated the forces he currently possessed. He was very tempted.

He opened his hand. An ancient scroll appeared, hovering three inches above his palm. It radiated with a tremendous presence and an aura of age.

The scroll had clearly existed for countless years already.

It was the Divine Formation of the Heavens that he had obtained from the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City.

Afterwards, Jian Chen began comprehending the Divine Formation of the Heavens.

Ever since he obtained the Divine Formation of the Heavens, he had investigated its wonders numerous times, carefully studying the features of the formation. He had basically committed it to memory already.

But right now, he was about to set up the Divine Formation of the Heavens. In order to prevent any unexpected mistakes, he closely studied the formation once again as he tried replicating it in his mind. He wanted to avoid missing anything.

This lasted for three years.

After those three years, the disciples who ingested the high grade Godking pills had already gained a basic grasp over their drastically strengthened powers under the guidance of the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs.

Moreover, they were each assigned at least two high quality immortal artifacts, one for offence and one for defence.

Jian Chen was particularly generous with them. He gave away all of the supreme quality immortal artifacts for free. Meanwhile, other disciples in the sect needed to make contributions to the sect to exchange for important resources.

After three years of secluded cultivation, Jian Chen emerged from the secret room, appearing before the disciples.

At this moment, all of the disciples stood in neat rows. The Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens stood before them.

All of them faced Jian Chen, standing quietly.

Jian Chen glanced past the disciples and nodded before looking in a certain direction and saying, “Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, it’s time for you to emerge too.”

As soon as Jian Chen said that, demon Qi suddenly began to surge from the distant horizon. The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt turned into a huge, black cloud, rapidly approaching them as he radiated with demon Qi.

His pressure as an Immortal Exalt filled the surroundings, immediately making the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals pale.

“Withdraw your pressure. There are so many sect disciples here.” Jian Chen scolded him.

In the next moment, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt immediately withdrew all of his pressure and presence. The demon Qi that filled the surroundings vanished as well, revealing his true appearance.

He was a burly middle-aged man who stood nine metres tall. He had a fearsome appearance, radiating with a heavy sense of wickedness. In particular, his eyes seemed to hide worlds filled with corpses and blood. It was difficult to even meet his gaze.

“Hmm? Where did all these Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals come from? Sect master, where did you find these people?” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt arrived before Jian Chen. His frightening eyes were filled with surprise.

“How has your recovery been going?” Jian Chen stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and answered with a question.

“I’ve already reconstructed my body, but it’s still too soon. I’ve yet to recover my peak strength. I’m only around half way there,” said the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. His gaze remained fixed on the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, studying them again and again. He seemed to notice something, and his face was gradually filled with disbelief.

The disciples could not help but lower their heads. The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had already withdrawn all of his presence, so he seemed no different from a regular person. However, they still did not have the courage to meet his eyes.

“Dan Chenzi, how have the elders of your Hall of Alchemy been recovering?” Then Jian Chen looked at Dan Chenzi.

“Sect master, under your generous bestowment, the elders of my Hall of Alchemy have basically all recovered. Some elders might not be completely healed, but it won’t impact them very much,” Dan Chenzi clasped his fist and said.

Shortly afterwards, Jian Chen glanced at the other Immortal Emperors. Apart from Lin Sen from the Divine Wood clan, the seven other Immortal Emperors were still in a sickly state.

They had been imprisoned by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, and the treatment they received was even worse than the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi’s. As such, they struggled to return to their peak condition in such a short amount of time.

However, Jian Chen clearly could not afford to wait that long. With a wave of his hand, the formation scroll of the Divine Formation of the Heavens immediately appeared in the air.

Jian Chen formed seals with both hands and unfurled the formation scroll with a secret technique.

As the formation scroll unfurled, a tremendous and mighty pressure emanated, immediately filling the area.

“W-what is this?” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s expression changed again and again. His face was filled with fear. He stared straight at the formation scroll in the air as his heart surged.

He could clearly sense a stifling pressure from the formation scroll.

All of the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens stared at the formation scroll blankly as well. They were shocked.

The pressure of the formation was far too great. It had already completely surpassed the pressure of some Immortal Exalts. In particular, the tremendous presence it gave off was earth-shaking.

“This is the Divine Formation of the Heavens. For a very long time into the future, the Divine Formation of the Heavens will serve as our sect treasure. However, the formation is extremely profound. We need to familiarise ourselves with the formation to unleash its power. Everyone, enter the formation right now!” With Jian Chen’s call, the formation scroll immediately projected a screen of light, clearly revealing various formation positions to everyone.
