Chaotic Sword God

For a moment, Xing Caijian’s identity struck fear into all of the experts present.

Her mother, Venerable Caijian, was already enough to strike fear into ninety-nine percent of the peak organisations present. She was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Meanwhile, there was also the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor. His name alone roused dread in the hearts of many Immortal Exalts.

In the present Immortals’ World, only the greatest expert of a court of heaven could bear the title of heavenly emperor. He was the greatest leader of a court of heaven, as well as their spiritual pillar, the basis of their foundations. His status was so great that it was only second to Grand Exalts.

Children of heavenly emperors were even rarer in the Immortals’ World. Even describing them as mythical existences was an understatement.

That was because some heavenly emperors were devoted to the ways. They spent their entire lives alone, without any partners, so they obviously would not have any direct descendants. Those who continued the bloodline were other members of the clan.

There were also some heavenly emperors who lived for an extremely long time, but their children all perished for various reasons, only leaving behind great grandchildren countless generations apart.

As a result, the status of a child of a heavenly emperor like Xing Caijian was so great that very few people in the entire Immortals’ World even came close.

The appearance of a heavenly emperor’s daughter drowned out the glow of all of the prodigies. As a result, all of the supreme prodigies from the peak organisations, all of the experts of extraordinary backgrounds, lost the halo they were supposed to possess.

Xing Caijian’s actions also pulled Jian Chen into the centre of attention of many experts despite previously being extremely discreet. Many had not even noticed him before. Now, they began to keep an eye out for him.

Just how aloof was the daughter of a heavenly emperor? Apart from the renowned Illusion-condensing Swordmaster who was a supreme expert himself, no one else struck up a conversation with her, yet she instead proactively approached Jian Chen.

That was without a doubt a demonstration of how extraordinary Jian Chen was.

“A Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, yet he’s able to raise the attention of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor daughter of a heavenly emperor. Is this person really an independent cultivator?”

“Even if he really is an independent cultivator who wanders the Immortals’ World, he probably isn’t simply that…”

“Looks like I better keep an eye out for this Immortal Emperor called Yang Yutian. Perhaps he’s hiding quite the secret.”

……

…

Many Immortal Exalts and even Immortal Emperors began to secretly make guesses about Jian Chen.

As a matter of fact, some Immortal Exalts from larger organisations arrived before Jian Chen. They sincerely invited him and Immortal Exalt Tan Yu to travel with them and watch each others’ backs.

“Scarlet Fire, do you know about the origins of the Immortal Emperor next to Tan Yu?” the Profound Spirit Master of the five ancestors of the Heavenly Palace of Scaling Heights asked the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt secretly.

The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt glanced at Jian Chen. There was a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes, but he soon told everything he knew about Jian Chen to the Profound Spirit Master.

“Even a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt had perished because of him?” After learning about what had occurred on the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Profound Spirit Master narrowed his eyes. He was stern.

“It’s not without reason why the daughter of the heavenly emperor, Xing Caijian, would turn her attention towards him. Either this person’s background is frighteningly large, or he’s hiding some great secret,” the Profound Spirit Master thought as his eyes flickered with uncertainty.

The people here waited for several years before all one hundred and eight pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture were gathered. Over three thousand people had amassed in this region.

Some of these people had come here to sell information regarding the precise location of certain precious heavenly resources in the Skyscraping World, while others had come to escort some disciples from their sects like the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster.

“Since all the pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture are here, let’s merge them together and formally open the dwelling that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable created.” At this moment, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt old man stood forward. He looked around at first. When he saw how there were no objections, he turned to one side and immediately demonstrated great respect. He clasped his fist and said, “Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, in order to avoid any unnecessary troubles, we can only ask you to handle the matter of merging the pages.”

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster currently sat on a small immortal vessel, meditating. When he heard that, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled gently. “If you all trust me, I’d obviously be happy to do this for you.”

“The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster possesses great faith, virtue, and righteousness, which we all admire. I’m sure no one has any objections to the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster overseeing the merging of the pages.”

“With the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s identity, it is our honour that you will handle such a trifle for us.”

……

…

After the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster said that, many of the Immortal Exalts present spoke up immediately. All of them were filled with deep respect.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster smiled gently. He seemed very friendly and approachable, without any of the aloofness and coldness of a supreme expert. He stood up from his immortal vessel and strode through the air, making his way towards the centre. “Since everyone trusts me, please hand your pages over.”

After saying that, pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture flew over from all directions, shining with dazzling light as they arrived by the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s side.

Merging the pages required all of them at the same time. This step was usually completed by an expert of high prestige that everyone trusted. Only then could they guarantee that the pages would return to their respective owners’ hands after the fusion was complete and would not become lost for good.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster was without a doubt the best choice here.

Gradually, more and more pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture hovered around the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster. Even Jian Chen tossed over his page without any hesitation.

Very soon, all one hundred and eight pages were gathered by the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s side.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster extended his hand steadily, bringing two fingers together gently in the air.

In the next moment, the one hundred and eight pages that hovered around rapidly joined together, instantly forming a complete book that lay between the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s two fingers.

A sharp and brutal sword intent radiated from the palm-sized book. It was extremely powerful, enough to shake up the surroundings. Even many of the Immortal Exalts in the surroundings struggled to withstand the terrifying pressure it gave off, forced back as a result.

This was the supreme sword intent left behind by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Even a wisp of his sword intent possessed the might to shatter space and annihilate entire galaxies.

However, as the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster held the book between his two fingers, his scholarly figure seemed particularly tall and straight. Regardless of how powerful the sword intent was, he remained unmoving. He gave off a sense of unshakable strength.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster had comprehended two laws to the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. His strength was no less than a regular Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt who had comprehended a single law, so the sword scripture left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable obviously could not threaten the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster.
