Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3951: Returning to the Immortals’ World

“Uncle Illusion-condensing, he is a formal guest of our Heavenly Star Palace!” Xing Caijian declared, meeting the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s eyes without flinching.
The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster knit his brows as he faced Xing Caijian’s resolute expression. He spoke with a stern tone, “A guest of the Heavenly Star Palace? Are you being serious, Xing Caijian? He is responsible for the deaths of Great Elders from the Immortal Feather Sect. Are you aware of the gravity of the consequences if you persist in this association?”
“I am fully aware, but a guest remains a guest. It is against the principles of our Heavenly Star Palace to turn away visitors simply because they have crossed the Immortal Feather Sect. If such news spread, the world might assume our Heavenly Star Palace lives in fear of them,” Xing Caijian countered.
The gaze of the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster grew heavy. Xing Caijian’s protective stance toward Jian Chen felt suspicious. For the first time, he truly scrutinized Jian Chen, his sharp eyes attempting to pierce through the young man’s every secret. His penetrating stare was like a blade, seeking to unravel Jian Chen's true nature.
Deep within the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s pupils, the light of divination began to swirl. He merged his soul into the fabric of the world, harmonizing with the Dao to peer into the hidden truths of the universe.
Under this intense observation, Jian Chen felt a sudden sensation of being completely exposed.
However, that was merely a feeling. As his Cultivation had progressed, his concealment techniques had strengthened. Protected by the mask of the Illusionary Daemon race, even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt would find it difficult to see through him, barring exceptional circumstances.
The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster soon retracted his gaze, a flicker of genuine shock crossing his face. He found himself unable to see through this junior at all, nor could his divination reveal a single detail. Such an occurrence was exceedingly rare.
“Princess Xing Caijian, it is truly unwise to provoke the Immortal Feather Sect for the sake of a sovereign god artifact. I urge you to reconsider…” From a distance, a grey-robed old man spoke up, his voice slow and persuasive.
This was Elder Bai, a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Though his personal strength was not the highest present, his status was immense. No one dared to treat him with anything but respect.
Elder Bai hailed from the Courtyard of Ways. He had arrived specifically to protect the students of the Courtyard of Ways and had been waiting patiently outside the entrance.

Nearby, the various Immortal Exalts engaged in hushed, profound discussions. Glints of avarice appeared in their eyes periodically, though they cast wary glances toward the ancient sword cradled in Xing Caijian’s arms.
They had already received reports regarding the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.
Suddenly, the space in the area began to warp violently. Massive fissures erupted, spreading across the void like a colossal spider web.
Through these gaping spatial rifts, one could catch glimpses of brilliant starlight and magnificent galaxies, forming a breathtaking celestial map in the distance.
Simultaneously, more than a dozen figures were seated near the Skyscraping World’s exit. The invisible pressure they exerted was so immense that the local space seemed frozen, and even the spiritual Qi ceased to flow.
Each of these figures possessed world-shaking power, capable of commanding the elements or obliterating realms with a single gesture. Even without intentionally releasing their aura, the mere leaks of their presence altered the surrounding environment.
Among them were many owners of the medicinal gardens within the Skyscraping World!
The figures suddenly sensed a change. Their eyes snapped open, looking toward the horizon.
“The Skyscraping World has finally sealed shut. I didn't expect the exit to shift so significantly this time…”
“The entrance is so far from its usual spot. My preparations here were for nothing,” someone muttered softly.
Meanwhile, the Scholar Capital Master, who had been waiting for years, had reached the end of his patience. His eyes were filled with anxiety and restlessness, fearing that the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing had already been consumed.
In a flash, the Scholar Capital Master vanished, racing toward the exit at his maximum speed.
Various formation discs and banners hidden in the void were recalled by their masters. Once they had retrieved their treasures, they too hurried toward the entrance.
“Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation, manifest!” A thunderous roar shook the area as surging energy erupted. Nine massive golden cauldrons appeared from the void, radiating a blinding radiance.
As they emerged, the nine golden cauldrons looked like nine miniature suns, casting their light across the entire cosmos.
The cauldrons vanished in an instant. When they reappeared, they had traversed billions of kilometers, arriving at the Skyscraping World’s entrance ahead of everyone else.
Near the exit, Jian Chen felt the environment shift. As the familiar spiritual Qi washed over him, he realized he had returned to the Immortals’ World.
Jian Chen immediately grew vigilant. Inside the Primeval Divine Hall, the Divine Formation of the Heavens was primed to strike. He also engaged the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, causing his form to vanish instantly.
The Illusion-Condensing Swordmaster, who had never taken his eyes off Jian Chen, was stunned to see him disappear. He stared at the spot where Jian Chen had been, feeling a sense of disbelief.
With his level of Cultivation, he was actually unable to detect Jian Chen’s presence at all.
“Yang Yutian, you committed countless crimes in the Skyscraping World and plundered the medicinal gardens. You won't escape today!” A Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt roared. He unleashed a terrifying strand of sword Qi that tore through the sky. Before it even reached Jian Chen’s last known position, it detonated, creating a massive storm that ravaged the area.
The space of the Immortals’ World was far less stable than that of the Skyscraping World. The explosion of sword Qi caused the space to collapse, creating spatial rifts that spanned tens of millions of kilometers. The scale of destruction far exceeded anything seen inside the trial grounds.
This Immortal Exalt knew Jian Chen’s tricks. The purpose of the attack wasn't a direct hit, but to disrupt the space and prevent Jian Chen from fleeing.
“Old Freak Tao, have you lost your mind? If my disciples are harmed, I will make you pay!”
Outraged cries filled the air as the other Immortal Exalts moved to protect their disciples from the violent shockwaves of the sword Qi.
However, the tactic worked. The violent spatial turbulence forced Jian Chen out of hiding. The warping space interfered with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, making it impossible to remain concealed.
It was only a momentary delay, but it was enough. In that split second, the nine golden cauldrons descended, releasing a crushing pressure as they formed a massive array that trapped everyone within the vicinity.
