Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3412: The Martial Soul Mountain

As soon as he heard mention of the Martial Soul Mountain, Jian Chen immediately thought of his seniors from the Martial Soul lineage. Upon closer thought, he realised that not only did he fail to make any contributions to the Martial Soul lineage ever since becoming their eighth successor, he seemed to create quite a lot of trouble for them too.

At the very least, just because of him, the entire Martial Soul lineage had been mobilised several times. There were even a few times when they faced colossal danger.

From beginning to end, the Martial Soul lineage had been silently and selflessly assisting him, truly treating him as one of their brothers, without any prejudice or alienation, much less being motivated by any personal interests. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

“Senior Feng, I want to go back to the Martial Soul Mountain and take a look,” said Jian Chen.

“The Martial Soul Mountain? Hmm, that place is special. Even Grand Exalts cannot see the depths of the Martial Soul Mountain or venture into it. You should be able to move around freely inside the Martial Soul Mountain without me covering you,” said the Wind Venerable. As soon as he said that, the colossal figure of the Martial Soul Mountain had already appeared before Jian Chen’s eyes.

With a single thought, they had crossed who knew how far and teleported over to the Martial Soul Mountain.

It was as if no matter how the Martial Soul Mountain moved through the sea of stars, it could not fool the senses of Grand Exalts.

In the next moment, the Wind Venerable took a step. With that, his foot had already landed on the Martial Soul Mountain. The many defensive formations that covered the Martial Soul Mountain were basically completely non-existent in the Wind Venerable’s eyes.

As the Wind Venerable had not disguised himself, Hun Zang and the others had already sensed it when he set foot on the Martial Soul Mountain.

In five seconds, the seven successors of the Martial Soul lineage under Hun Zang’s lead all appeared before the Wind Venerable, bowing towards him.

Compared to the past, the seven successors of the Martial Soul lineage no longer possessed the same confidence as before. They were dejected, with deep sorrow in the depths of all of their eyes. They felt extremely powerless.

Clearly, their low spirits were caused by the news of Jian Chen’s death.

Jian Chen gazed at them from within the Wind Venerable’s world membrane. His restless heart immediately settled down as if he had returned to his place of belonging.

The Wind Venerable said nothing. He nodded towards them with a smile before a force of the world emanated from his body, immediately covering the entire Martial Soul Mountain.

At that moment, none of the experts in the Saints’ World, even including the other sovereigns, could see the situation inside the Martial Soul Mountain.

Of course, while the Martial Soul Mountain was special, no one paid constant attention to it either.

After obscuring the Martial Soul Mountain, the Wind Venerable finally opened the world membrane and let out Jian Chen who had remained hidden there the entire time.

Hun Zang, Chu Jian, Yue Chao, Yun Ziting, Su Qi, Bai Rufeng, and Qing Shan all subconsciously shifted their gazes towards the figure that emerged from the world membrane.

When they recognised Jian Chen, all of them became stunned. They all stared at Jian Chen with widened eyes. Their brains stopped functioning.

“What’s going on? Is there something wrong with my eyes?” Qing Shan subconsciously rubbed his eyes as if he struggled to believe everything happening before him.

“Sir, who are you exactly? Why are you impersonating our eighth junior brother?” Jian Chen’s fifth senior sister, Su Qi, immediately frowned. She was slightly displeased.

But due to the Wind Venerable, she was forced to repress her anger and ask the question with feigned calmness.

Hun Zang, Chu Jian, and Yue Chao all looked towards the Wind Venerable with furrowed brows. They were perplexed.

Without any exception, none of them believed the person before them was their eighth junior brother, as they had already received certain news that Jian Chen was already dead.

Moreover, he had not even been killed by someone ordinary. Instead, he had become the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways, dying at her hand, which even gave her an additional way.

There was definitely no chance at survival.

Otherwise, the Anatta Grand Exalt would not have comprehended the Way of Heartlessness successfully.

The successful comprehension of the Way of Heartlessness was enough to prove everything.

The Wind Venerable began to laugh in response to their reactions. He told Jian Chen, “You can talk among yourselves for now. I’ll look around here first. Remember, don’t leave the barrier I’ve created with the force of the world.”

With that, the Wind Venerable had already vanished.

Jian Chen smiled happily as he faced the seven senior brothers and sisters standing there. He said nothing at all. He only condensed Martial Soul Force with a thought.

“Soul-destroying technique! H-how is this possible!?”

“Eighth junior brother, it really is eighth junior brother. Eighth junior brother is actually still alive…”

......

…

Hun Zang and the others were all startled. They all stared at Jian Chen in disbelief as their hearts churned.

There were countless secret techniques in the Saints’ World. Many secret techniques could modify a person’s presence and appearance, but there was only one thing that no secret technique could change or replicate.

That was Martial Soul Force!

Martial Soul Force was a power unique to the Martial Soul lineage. Apart from the Martial Soul lineage, no one possessed this power.

As a result, it was extremely easy for the successors of the Martial Soul lineage to verify each others’ identities. They only needed to use Martial Soul Force.

Now that Jian Chen had directly used a Martial Soul Force secret technique, there were obviously no longer any doubts about his identity.

After learning that Jian Chen was still alive, everyone from the Martial Soul lineage was overjoyed. They immediately set aside their caution and uncertainty and gathered around Jian Chen, demonstrating their joy.

“Senior brothers and sisters, I know you have many questions for me, but you can’t let the outside world find out that I’m still alive. As a result, for the sake of safety, let’s go inside before we talk.” Jian Chen suggested.

“Hahaha, alright. We’ll go into the Martial Soul Mountain first. To be honest, I’m extremely curious about how you managed to survive such a disadvantageous situation, where you even fooled the Anatta Grand Exalt.” Hun Zang laughed. In the next moment, they suddenly vanished from the Martial Soul Mountain.

As soon as they vanished, the Wind Venerable appeared. He sensed around carefully with furrowed eyebrows. Only after quite a while did he murmur, “I can’t sense where they went at all, nor are there any traces…”

“Even past Grand Exalts were powerless over the Martial Soul Mountain, unable to take it away with them. They could only let it drift aimlessly through space. Just how did the Martial Soul Mountain appear? Don’t tell me it really is connected to that vanished place?”

Inside the Martial Soul Mountain, Jian Chen sat together with the seven others and told them about everything he went through over the years.

Jian Chen had nothing to hide from the Martial Soul lineage. Not only did he tell them about his trip to the Wood Spirits World, but he even divulged the fact that he had obtained the sovereign god artifact of the Wood Spirits, the Source of Life.

The seven successors of the Martial Soul lineage were all left speechless when they heard Jian Chen’s experiences. Especially when they heard that Jian Chen had already obtained the Source of Life, they felt happy for him from the bottom of their hearts. They congratulated him sincerely.
