Chapter 3738: The Crown Prince’s Scheme

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Shortly afterwards, Daowei Chengqing left the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with his three servants and arrived at the ancestral grounds of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

At this moment, he stood on the ground and walked around slowly like a mortal around the ruined entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The three servants followed behind him quietly.

“I have a feeling that he will return again.” Suddenly, Daowei Chengqing looked at the sky above the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, directly locking onto the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain hidden in the space there. He smiled eerily.

“Master, is that person really worth all this attention?” a servant behind him asked in confusion.

“He is. He very much is.” Daowei Chengqing thought of something. An almost undetectable burning desire flickered through the depths of his eyes. “In the beginning, I only thought this person had extremely good fortunes, which was why he received the recognition of sovereign god artifacts. However, as I deepened my investigation of this person, I gradually discovered more things.”

“This person has willingly taken on the burden of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, which means he’s closely connected to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. When he contended for the position of Thousand Immortal General in the Observance Heaven City, he even received the care of the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City, receiving all of the byes.”

“It’s anything but easy to get the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City to behave like that, so I suspect that the twin swords which vanished from the Immortals’ World three million years ago are with the new sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen.”

“He received the special care of the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City because of the twin swords.” Daowei Chengqing’s gaze immediately deepened.

“Master, you don’t even care about the Dominion’s Brush or the Book of the Populace. Don’t tell us you care about the twin swords?” a servant asked in surprise.

“The twin swords aren’t as simple as you imagine them to be. They fuse and turn into chaos. Across the six worlds, if there is any power that can suppress the Book of the Populace and the Dominion’s Brush, then it would be the twin swords.”

“However, the twin swords aren’t weapons that any regular person can possess. Otherwise, even Grand Exalts will perish from the backlash, without any possibility of rebirth.”

“Without any possibility of rebirth? Don’t tell me the Grand Exalt of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has completely perished?” The three servants looked at one another.

“Obviously.” Daowei Chengqing nodded and continued, “But unfortunately, Jian Chen has that mask disguising him. Unless he appears before me, I can’t find him either. Otherwise, I really do want to find him soon.”

“Since master wants to find Jian Chen so urgently, why not ask the ancestor for assistance? The senses of the ancestor’s soul can engulf the entire Immortals’ World. It’s not difficult for him to find this person.” A servant suggested.

Daowei Chengqing shook his head. “No, we can’t let the ancestor know about this, nor can we let him know that the twin swords have already returned to the Immortals’ World, as he’s also after them.”

A strange ripple appeared around Daowei Chengqing, erasing all of the traces in the surroundings. Even Grand Exalts would not be able to recover his words or actions.

“Sigh, how regretful.” Daowei Chengqing demonstrated a hint of pity and said, “Back then, I sensed that he possessed several sovereign god artifacts on him in the sacred land of the Observance Heaven City, but I never imagined it would include the twin swords, or why would everything be this difficult?”

“If they were regular sovereign god artifacts, they’d really struggle to interest me, so I only wanted to make that person serve me back then.”

“If only I knew he had the twin swords on him back then. It’s too late for regret now.”

“Master, don’t tell me sovereign god artifacts vary in strength as well?” a servant asked curiously.

“Obviously, or why would the Dominion’s Brush and the Book of the Populace be so powerful? Even I do not know just how startling the full power of those two god artifacts are, but I am certain about one thing—the two artifacts have not even revealed the tip of the iceberg in terms of strength.”

“But despite that, their strength has completely surpassed all sovereign god artifacts,” said Daowei Chengqing.

“Master, don’t tell me the twin swords can rival the Dominion’s Brush and the Book of the Populace?” a servant asked in shock.

“That would be the case if the twin swords return to their true peak and after they fuse and turn into chaos. Of course, that’s assuming they have powerful enough vessels. If their vessels are not powerful enough, their strength will be greatly reduced even if they fuse into chaos.”

Reminiscence appeared in Daowei Chengqing’s eyes. “Actually, the vessels of the twin swords in the past were not two swords but a mirror. The mirror had two sides, which represented yin and yang. When yin and yang fused together and demonstrated the heaven-splitting might, it could indeed overwhelm the Dominion’s Brush and the Book of the Populace.”

“But afterwards, the mirror shattered, and yin and yang Qi escaped. It was obtained by those with good fortune. They were then forged into various god artifacts, including a great array of weapons and all sorts of strange vessels. Only when they were obtained by their previous master were they forged into a pair of swords.”

“However, the quality of the two swords were too low, unable to withstand the backlash of fusing together, which led to their shattering. Their master perished in the process as well.”

“Master, probably even some Grand Exalts aren’t aware of the history of the twin swords. Don’t tell me you learnt about this in the Hole of Reincarnation?” a servant asked.

“Yeah, I discovered all of this in the Hole of Reincarnation.” Daowei Chengqing smiled.

“Since the twin swords are so important, why don’t we remain on the Reverent Observance Heaven and wait until he returns?” A servant suggested.

Daowei Chengqing shook his head and said, “That won’t work. If we really do that, the ancestor will definitely notice that something is amiss. As a result, in order to avoid raising the ancestor’s attention, not only are we unable to stay on the Reverent Observance Heaven for too long, but we actually have to leave as soon as possible.”

“This is also why I arranged for Space-splitting to stay behind, as the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants already has grievances with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Making Space-splitting keep an eye on the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens on the Reverent Observance Heaven, or even making him go after the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, won’t raise anyone’s attention.”

……

…

In the vast sea of stars of the Immortals’ World, a meteor shot through the darkness at a steady speed, travelling off in an unknown direction along a straight trajectory.

In the endless sea of stars, there were similar meteors that filled the entire place, countless of them. The meteor was just one of them.

But at this moment, the Primeval Divine Hall sat on the regular meteor’s surface like a grain of dust. Under the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall’s intentional disguise, all of the divine hall’s glow and pressure had been withdrawn. It did not give off a single ripple of energy.

Jian Chen sat on the Fortune God Jade in a secret room within the Primeval Divine Hall as he cultivated. A sharp presence gathered around him.

It was the Laws of the Sword. At this moment, everywhere around him was permeated with a thin layer of the Laws of the Sword.

During the years he spent in secluded cultivation in the Primeval Divine Hall, Jian Chen had already replenished all the Chaotic Force he depleted through the resources he obtained from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. This period directly polished off a good number of God Tier pills and heavenly resources he had obtained.

After recovering his lost energy, he began to comprehend the Laws of the Sword through the special function of the Fortune God Jade.

However, given the height of cultivation that Jian Chen stood at, each increase was difficult. Arduous cultivation alone did not guarantee progress.

As a result, even with the assistance of the Fortune God Jade, Jian Chen made insignificant progress over these years of cultivation and comprehension.

That did not mean the Fortune God Jade was not powerful. Instead, after reaching Immortal Emperor, the time required for breakthroughs with the Fortune God Jade even when there was sufficient talent was measured in the tens of thousand years.

Breaking through a minor realm of cultivation in just a few decades or centuries was impossible no matter how impressive the Fortune God Jade was.

As a result, after a short few decades of cultivation, Jian Chen’s increases were negligible.

One day, Jian Chen was roused from his cultivation by a message.

The message came from hall leader Dan Chenzi of the Hall of Alchemy.
