Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3454: Inside the Divine Hall

The Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation did not vanish with Jian Chen’s entry. It continued to operate as normal behind him, obstructing the thousands of immortals.

“He’s in. He’s actually made it in. The sword formation has existed for several hundred thousand years at the very least. During this time, countless Immortal Emperors have been stopped by it. Today, someone has finally made it through.”

“Only Immortal Emperors can survive inside the sword formation because only experts at that level can withstand the killing intent from the sword formation. However, if they know the method to enter the formation, then it will have nothing to do with cultivation. Probably even a regular Golden Immortal could enter.”

“In other words, the person who entered the sword formation isn’t necessarily an Immortal Emperor. It’s also possible for them to be a lower immortal who’s weaker than us, who just happens to have the correct method that prevents the sword formation from harming them.”

Gazing at the figure that had already passed through the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation, the countless immortals blocked outside immediately erupted into an uproar. At that moment, everyone’s eyes became fixed on Jian Chen. Their eyes shone with undisguised madness and fervency. They made no attempt to hide their greed.

There had always been a rumour within the mausoleum that the divine hall contained the full legacy and wealth of an Immortal Emperor. An Immortal Emperor’s legacy obviously possessed irresistible temptation to the low level immortals who even drooled over the mid to low level sword techniques in the mausoleum.

The old man from the Water-splitting sect fell silent. His eyes shone with some uncertainty. He was not sure whether the person in the sword formation was an Immortal Emperor or not.

If he had not passed through the sword formation and had retreated from there alive, he would definitely be an Immortal Emperor.

However, he had passed through the sword formation successfully and unbelievably.

Passing through the sword formation had nothing to do with strength because it already had its gate of life and gate of death blocked. It meant that there was no longer a path through it. Even experts who possessed extremely great mastery over formations would struggle to breach it.

There was only one situation where it was possible to still pass through the sword formation successfully. The person in question had to possess a unique method to make their way through it.

“This person definitely has some unknown connection with the owner of the mausoleum. Sigh, he’s far too reckless. The three organisations of the Immortal Region of Green Plains have watched the mausoleum for several hundred thousand years. They viewed the mausoleum as their own a long time ago. If he doesn’t have a back-up plan, he probably won’t be able to leave the Immortal Region of Green Plains alive seeing how rashly he’s entered the formation.” A while later, the old man from the Water-splitting sect sighed gently and shook his head with some pity.

Inside the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation, Jian Chen studied the divine hall for a while. He saw that the divine hall was a medium quality god artifact, which did match the status of an Immortal Emperor.

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, do you recognise this divine hall? Does it belong to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Jian Chen secretly communicated with the sword spirits. However, not only did the sword spirits fail to recognise the divine hall, but they could not even tell who the owner was.

“Far too much has changed in three million years. We don’t even know how many important members of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from the past are still alive.” The sword spirits sighed gently.

“That’s not a problem. Once I enter the divine hall, I should be able to tell who the owner of it is,” Jian Chen said gently, directly making his way towards the divine hall. He entered it effortlessly.

The space within the divine hall was extremely large, but most of the rooms were empty. Jian Chen hurried through it. When he approached the highest level, he finally discovered some remains in a majestic room.

A total of several thousand skeletons sat on the ground. Their flesh had already rotted away, leaving behind white bones.

Beside the skeletons were a series of scattered violet tablets.

The illusionary figures of the sword spirits emerged from Jian Chen. They stared straight at the violet tablets and said sternly, “T-these are all identification tablets of disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Master, these people… they’re all disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

Jian Chen’s eyes immediately erupted with a frightening light when he heard that. He reached out and an identification tablet immediately entered his hand. He stared straight at it with a sunken face.

A total of several thousand disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had perished here, reduced to white bone. That immediately ignited Jian Chen’s fury and killing intent.

“Most of these disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens died from reaching the end of their lives. They’re restricted by lifespan, which means that when they were still alive, they had yet to become Golden Immortals,” Jian Chen said sternly. Heavenly Immortals were equivalent to the Origin realm of the Saints’ World. Cultivators of that realm normally had a lifespan of a hundred thousand years.

Only after reaching Godhood, or the Golden Immortal realm from the Immortals’ World, could they break free from the restraints of lifespan and thrive with the world.

However, in order to become disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, their talent obviously would not be lacking. How did they spend a total of a hundred thousand years without breaking through to Golden Immortal?

Most importantly, they had actually remained in this divine hall all the way until the end of their lives, passing away in their sleep. New chapters are publɪshed on (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Jian Chen scanned past the remains on the ground before settling on the several hundred corpses at the very front. His face darkened even further.

“The power of the Laws of Curses!” Jian Chen muttered. He immediately appeared before the corpses and glanced past them. He said sternly, “These people were all Golden Immortals or higher in the past. They were freed from the restraint of lifespans, yet there are remnants of the power of the Laws of Curses in their remains.”

“These disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens didn’t die naturally. They were cursed to death by the Laws of Curses. An expert skilled in the Laws of Curses used their curses to kill them through the divine hall and the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation,” Jian Chen said frigidly. He also possessed respectable accomplishments with the Laws of Curses, so he realised what had happened with a single glance. _{Google search i????????r????????????． ????????m}

Shortly afterwards, he shut his eyes slowly. Surging Martial Soul Force erupted from his forehead. He began using the Soul-viewing technique!

The Soul-viewing technique was one of the two secret techniques of Martial Soul Force he had grasped recently. Through the technique, he could see the souls of people after death. If any lingering wills remained, he could even communicate with them.

“Hopefully, I can see them,” Jian Chen prayed inside. Although lingering wills would remain after death, these disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had been dead for far too long after all. With their measly strength when they were still alive, even if they had any lingering wills, it would not be particularly powerful. It would be very difficult to last very long.

Unless they were under the influence of some special powers, protected by some special environment, or possessed extremely great strength when they were still alive, the lingering wills would disperse as well once too much time had passed.

When Jian Chen opened his eyes, they had already become pitch-black, seeming like a pair of black holes. His irises had already vanished.

Under this state, the world before his eyes underwent an overwhelming transformation. The several thousand remains before him had vanished. He saw an eerie space of boundless darkness instead.

In this space, around a dozen specks of light flickered dimly. Each speck of light represented a lingering will that existed in obscurity after their passing.

Jian Chen knew that these were all lingering wills of the disciples. From several thousand disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, only around a dozen lasted until now in the very end. The others had all dispersed for various reasons.

He began to communicate with them, but these lingering wills had existed for far too long. Coupled with the various factors such as insufficient strength, these lingering wills had already become extremely feeble. It was as if they would disperse in the wind before long. As a result, Jian Chen was no longer capable of communicating with them.

However, through his mental connection with these lingering wills, he could vaguely sense the furious roars from some of them.

“The Immortal Sect of Luofu…”

“The Immortal Sect of Yuqing…”

“The Immortal Sect of White Clouds…”

The names of the three immortal sects constantly rang out from the lingering wills, filled with surging hatred and resentment.

It was also this hatred and resentment that turned into an invisible power, ensuring that these lingering wills could last until now.
