Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3652: Powerful Support

“This is a difficult decision that I’ve made after extremely careful consideration,” Jian Chen said seriously. He looked at the mountains that belonged to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and said slowly, “I’m also aware of the implications behind abandoning this place, but if we don’t leave, we won’t be able to escape the fate of complete destruction.”

“Sect master, is there really no other way?” Elder Nong still held onto a final ray of hope. He had resided in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens for several million years. He had personally witnessed the rise and fall of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As a result, he held extraordinarily deep feelings towards both the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and these familiar lands.

“Another way? There is no way unless the Samsaric Immortal Exalt returns safely. However, I suspect that even if the Samsaric Immortal Exalt returns to the Immortals’ World safely, that won’t necessarily mean our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will be truly safe,” Jian Chen said sternly.

Elder Nong hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. “Sect master, if we really run out of options, can we seek help from the Waymight clan? After all, many of our disciples joined the Waymight clan in the past, so we technically have some connections with the Waymight clan. Before the Waymight clan gained a Grand Exalt, they had assisted our sect, let alone now when they’re even greater than they once were.”

When elder Nong mentioned the Waymight clan, cold light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. “Elder Nong, do you know the exact reason behind why I said that even if the Samsaric Immortal Exalt returns safely, we won’t necessarily be truly safe?”

When he heard that, elder Nong’s expression changed slightly. He immediately realised something and said with an ugly expression, “Don’t tell me it’s because of the Waymight clan?”

“That’s right, it is indeed due to the Waymight clan. I’ve already received news that the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens who joined the Waymight clan through various methods in the past have already founded another sect. The name of the sect also happens to be the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Jian Chen gazed at elder Nong deeply and said, “Elder Nong, do you know what that implies?”

Elder Nong’s face darkened as he immediately said furiously, “They founded another sect outside, yet they never mentioned it to us. That is truly an act of rebellion.”

“These people have never left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, so in terms of identity, they’re still disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. At the same time, their cultivation environment is richly endowed in the Waymight clan. Coupled with their talent, I’m confident enough to say that they’ve already become far more powerful than us. They might not necessarily have any Immortal Exalts, but they will have several Immortal Emperors.”

“Elder Nong, if the orthodoxy on the Reverent Observance Heaven is destroyed, then wouldn’t the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens supported by the Waymight clan be able to use this opportunity to replace it as the orthodoxy?”

Elder Nong paled. There was a hint of despair. “If that really is the case, then it won’t just be our past enemies who are out to destroy us. There’ll be the Waymight clan as well. However, I struggle to understand why the Waymight clan would take an interest in our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens given their strength. Even if they wanted to scheme against our sect, do they really have to go to such lengths with their strength?”

“Perhaps they don’t want to give others any reason to oppose them. Perhaps they want to formally control the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, then formally obtain the twin swords. Of course, perhaps the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s deterrence is the reason why they’re not bold enough to take overly drastic measures.” Jian Chen analysed the situation.

Elder Nong and Chen Shifang immediately fell silent. They both became extremely solemn. They originally thought that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would welcome a glorious future now that they had an Immortal Exalt, yet they welcomed an abyss that was even darker and more despairing than before instead.

After all, compared to the Waymight clan, organisations like the Wind clan and the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants no longer seemed particularly terrifying.

“If we lose the halo of the sect, we’ll probably struggle to move around freely in the Immortals’ World.” Chen Shifang sighed gently. He was very heavy-hearted. He felt like the future that lay before him was dark.

“That might not necessarily be true.” Jian Chen smiled mysteriously and said, “Losing our ancestral grounds means we can go into hiding. The thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World are free for us to move between. We will become even more agile and even more elusive.”

Elder Nong and Chen Shifang were uncertain when they heard that. Neither of them understood why Jian Chen was so confident.

“In short, you don’t have to worry about the path before us. I have plans in mind. When we become powerful enough, we will return to the Reverent Observance Heaven sooner or later and reclaim the ancestral grounds of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens,” Jian Chen said confidently.

Afterwards, elder Nong and Chen Shifang immediately headed off to make arrangements for moving the sect.

Jian Chen did not leave. Instead, he sat beside the Immortal Devouring Orchid and sent his soul into the Primeval Divine Hall.

Jian Chen’s soul arrived at the top floor of the Primeval Divine Hall.

He resided in a large, gloomy space. He could vaguely see several dozen large figures seated on the ground. Their eyes were shut, and they did not budge as if they had fallen into an eternal slumber.

From their physical appearances, these creatures were not humans, but they were extremely similar to humans.

These figures were the generals who had fought alongside the previous master of the Primeval Divine Hall. Ever since the master of the Primeval Divine Hall perished, these generals left behind their bodies through an ancient secret technique, sealed away forever by the Primeval Divine Hall.

As a result, despite all of the time that had passed, the bodies of these generals were completely untouched. Even time could not leave a mark. They could truly exist for eternity.

Of course, all that remained of them were bodies that maintained their full strength. Their original souls had already perished in the long river of time.

Jian Chen slowly glanced past these generals. When he first saw these generals in the past, he was only a lowly Godking, so he could not completely see through their strength.

But now, he had already become a powerful Immortal Emperor. He could see their former strength with much greater accuracy.

“There are a total of fifty people. Ten of them are Immortal Exalts, while the remaining forty are Immortal Emperors!” For a moment, Jian Chen’s eyes began to burn with desire. If he could awaken all ten Immortal Exalts, that would already be enough to rival the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens during its most glorious period.

“None of the forty Immortal Emperors are weak either. Most of them are late Immortal Emperors. Even the weakest should correspond to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor.” Jian Chen slowly made his way between the generals. These generals were ordered from weakest to strongest. As he made his way towards the front, the generals became stronger and stronger.

“Artifact spirit, what is the strength of these five generals?” Very soon, Jian Chen arrived at the front of all these generals. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at five of them.

Of the ten Immortal Exalts, he could roughly gauge the strength of five. As for the other half, he was unable to see through them at all. Not even in the slightest.

“Master, the five of them are all late Immortal Exalts. Three of them are at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, one is at the Eighth Heavenly Layer, and one is at the Ninth Heavenly Layer!” the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall said.

“Three at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, one at the Eighth Heavenly Layer, and one at the Ninth Heavenly Layer?” Jian Chen smiled excitedly when he heard that. He could not help but think of Daowei Chengqing. Daowei Chengqing had three Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt servants accompanying him at all times.

In the blink of an eye, he had almost gained subordinates that were no worse than Daowei Chengqing’s.

“What are the conditions for awakening these generals?” Jian Chen asked.
