Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3506: The Sword Sect’s Sect Register

Afterwards, Jian Chen continued to secretly observe all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Everything that the several tens of thousand disciples across the sect did were within his grasp.

Although he had discovered some disciples with issues with their identities through this spying, Jian Chen firmly believed that probably only a part of them were exposed right now.

That was because he would only discover these disciples when they passed information onto the outside world. However, if there were some disciples not in a hurry to do so, he obviously would not discover them.

“There are some other disciples who don’t seem to react particularly normally,” thought Jian Chen. Only after the battles in the ring did he personally experience just how much of a mess the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was in.

“However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has already declined to such a level. When it comes to legacies, they have no legacies. When it comes to resources, they have no resources. Since they’re already so miserable, why do the peak experts still cling onto the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”

“Don’t tell me they want the twin swords? And that they’re secretly spying on the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to obtain the information on the twin swords as soon as possible?”

“Or perhaps some of these organisations are the same as the Mistress of Contrary Winds, possessing great grievances with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and only wishes for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to be destroyed?”

Jian Chen secretly analysed his current discoveries while becoming even more certain about hiding the secret of the twin swords.

However, when he thought about it, it did make sense. The twin swords were peak god artifacts that had slain Grand Exalts after all. Their strength obviously needed no further explanation. It made perfect sense for them to be coveted by various people.

After all, the twin swords would form a colossal source of deterrence even if they did not use them, such that their enemies would not act against them carelessly.

Jian Chen spent several days in secluded cultivation inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Only after ingesting several low grade God Tier pills basically in the face of the artifact spirit of the divine hall did his “wounds” finally recover.

“Jian Chen, since you’ve healed, come to the discussion hall. We’ll hold your formal induction ceremony for joining the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens,” Chen Shuzhi’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s ear.

Very soon, Jian Chen appeared in the discussion hall. Many core disciples had already gathered there. The remaining core disciples were all on their way over. Only Jin Sang was destined to be absent due to his rather heavy injuries.

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens seemed particularly lively today. Many disciples had already gathered on the main peak. The core disciples stood in the discussion hall, while the Xuan Immortals, Daluo Golden Immortals, and those beneath all stood on the square outside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens.

All these disciples had gathered here for Jian Chen’s induction ceremony.

Due to his great contribution in the battles in the ring, coupled with Jian Chen’s strength, the ceremony was extremely grand.

“Sect master, all the core disciples, apart from Jin Sang and Luo Xi, are present.” A core disciple stood forward in the discussion hall and cupped his fist towards Chen Shuzhi.

Chen Shuzhi frowned when he heard that and said, “Jin Sang is severely injured, so he has a reason for why he can’t be present. But what’s the issue with Luo Xi? Why isn’t he here?” Chen Shuzhi immediately sent out the senses of his soul and directly arrived in Luo Xi’s dwelling. Shortly afterwards, he frowned and growled, “This is downright outrageous. He’s actually still sleeping at a time like this? Hmm? No.”

Chen Shuzhi’s expression changed slightly. Immediately, he stood up from the sect master’s throne. With a step, he vanished from the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, making his way straight towards Luo Xi’s dwelling.

However, Nong Fugui was even faster than him. As if he had teleported, he immediately barged into Luo Xi’s dwelling.

At this moment, the core disciple called Luo Xi laid quietly on his jade bed in an extremely natural state. His expression was peaceful. He seemed like he was sound asleep.

However, Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui realised with a single glance that he was already dead. He had stopped possessing any signs of life a long time ago.

Very soon, Jian Chen arrived as well. He stood behind Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui, staring at Luo Xi calmly.

Actually, he had wanted to visit Luo Xi’s dwelling from the moment he had perished so that he coulld use the Soul-viewing technique.

However, Chen Shuzhi and the artifact spirit of the divine hall were constantly observing him back then, so he was unable to leave the secret room. Otherwise, if no one discovered Luo Xi had died while he happened to be the one who discovered his corpse, it would obviously take quite the effort for him to explain everything.

Now that he had come with the sect master and elder Nong, he obviously would not raise any suspicions.

Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui focused on finding the cause of Luo Xi’s death as Jian Chen silently used the Soul-viewing technique.

The dwelling was where Luo Xi had perished, so Jian Chen easily found his lingering will through the Soul-viewing technique.

“What is this place? Where am I?” In an empty space, Luo Xi’s lingering will gathered together, letting out his confused voice.

Even at this moment, he had yet to realise that he was already dead.

“Luo Xi, you’re already dead. You were slain by the expert in the dream,” Jian Chen told Luo Xi.

“What? I’m already dead? That’s impossible. I was clearly alive and kicking. Why would I just suddenly die? And… and who are you?” Luo Xi said in a panic.

“I’m Jian Chen, the person who killed five Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder consecutively. You should still remember me.”

It took Jian Chen quite the effort before finally convincing Luo Xi of the fact that he was already dead. Luo Xi’s emotions immediately lost control. He was basically on the verge of collapsing. He began to sob loudly there.

“Tell me, who was the expert who connected with you through the dream? Tell me everything you know. Perhaps one day in the future, I might even be able to avenge you,” said Jian Chen. His voice boomed out like a bell, deeply shaking up the depths of Luo Xi’s lingering will.

At the same time, his voice seemed to possess an undefiable will to Luo Xi. Luo Xi was completely unable to stop the infiltration of this will with his strength as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. He could not help but follow Jian Chen’s orders and tell him everything that he knew.

“I don’t know who he was. When I was cultivating in my dwelling, I suddenly fell asleep without any reason. Afterwards, I met him in my dream. I don’t even know his name, much less who he is. He only made me tell him about everything important that had occurred in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

Jian Chen asked a few more questions, but he found nothing at all in the end. He found absolutely no information on the master of the dream.

Jian Chen ended the Soul-viewing technique. He could continue with the Soul-gathering technique to send Luo Xi into rebirth, but he did not choose to do so.

Luo Xi’s actions were already equivalent to betraying the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. A disciple that had betrayed the sect and become a spy for a foreign expert was not worthy of such treatment.

By now, Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui had finished searching Luo Xi’s corpse as well, but they obviously did not find much. They only knew that Luo Xi’s soul had vanished. He had perished through unknown means.

In the end, Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui left with sunken faces.

Luo Xi’s death under mysterious circumstances had drained some of the joy from Jian Chen’s induction ceremony.

After all, there were only a little over twenty core disciples that had reached Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal across the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Every single one of them was extremely precious, a symbol of the sect’s wealth. Now that one of them had suddenly perished without any proper reason, it obviously impacted the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to a certain degree.

The ceremony that seemed grand wrapped up very quickly, and Jian Chen’s name appeared in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ sect register for the first time.

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ sect register was a colossal jade tablet several dozen metres tall. However, it was better described as a colossal jade slip than a jade tablet. All of the information was engraved inside and could only be accessed through the senses of the soul.

However, when the senses of Jian Chen’s soul entered the jade tablet, he only discovered the names of several hundred thousand disciples. None of their cultivations were high. For example, Immortal Emperor Taihang from a million years ago and the Star Clustered Ancestor from an even older age did not appear in the register.

It felt like the Star Clustered Ancestor, as one of the ten great ancestors of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, had been removed from the sect register.

“Sigh, it’s completely impossible for us to engrave the names of our predecessors in the sect register because after their names are engraved, the sect register will explode before long.”

“Now, the predecessors recorded in the sect register are only Immortal Monarchs at most.” Nong Fugui stood before the giant register several dozen metres tall. He was both sorrowful and in despair.

Jian Chen’s face immediately darkened. He quickly realised that someone was causing trouble, clearly trying to prevent the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from recording down their glorious age of the past, preventing the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from learning about the sect’s past and trying to use the power of time to gradually bury the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“Elder, please engrave the names of the predecessors of the sect onto the sect register again.” Jian Chen cupped his fist towards Nong Fugui. He was an old man who had lived for three million years at the very least. He had personally experienced the glorious age of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As long as he was around, he would be the living history.

“It’s useless. It won’t last for too long. Given the sect’s impoverished circumstances, if the sect register is destroyed again, it can’t be repaired any time soon.” Elder Nong shook his head gently.

Jian Chen took out a Space Ring and passed it over to Nong Fugui. “Elder, there are some resources inside. Please treat it as my donation to the sect. Please engrave the names of the predecessors onto the sect register again.”

Elder Nong knew that Jian Chen’s background was powerful and he had a powerful master behind him, so he did not decline. He accepted the Space Ring in an extremely straightforward manner. Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

However, when he saw the resources inside, his elderly face stiffened. He instantly blanked out.

There were far too many resources in the Space Ring. Just the supreme grade immortal crystals reached over a hundred blocks.

A block of immortal grade divine crystal was equivalent to a million individual crystals. Over a hundred blocks of them was equivalent to over a hundred million individual crystals.

Apart from supreme grade immortal crystals, there were also pills and heavenly resources of various levels.

“Jian Chen, I thank your master for his bestowment on behalf of all the disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Elder Nong bowed deeply. He obviously treated the resources in the Space Ring as a bestowment from Jian Chen’s master.

That was because the resources in there could even tempt an Immortal Emperor.

“Sect master, with these resources, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens can finally catch a breath.” Shortly afterwards, Nong Fugui passed the Space Ring filled with resources over to Chen Shuzhi.

Boom!

At this moment, a rumble rang out from outside. A great hole was immediately ripped open in the protective formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

In recent years, the protective formation had always been maintained at a weaker level due to a lack of energy, unable to unleash its full strength. Let alone stopping Immortal Emperors, basically any late Immortal Monarch could breach it with ease.

Outside the hole in the formation, a colossal immortal vessel glided in slowly with a heavy pressure.

The immortal vessel belonged to the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder!

The tremendous presences of numerous Immortal Monarchs flooded out from the immortal vessel in a domineering manner. The strongest of them had already reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
