Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3966: Learning the Identity

All the cultivators who had come out from the Skyscraping World, including those who owned the medicinal gardens, were now completely silenced. They received strict orders not to reveal any information about the Skyscraping World.

Even figures like the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, Zuo Dao from the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens, and members of the Courtyard of Ways were urged to maintain absolute confidentiality on this.

This call for silence clearly irritated quite a few people there, yet upon recalling the source of the command, everyone fell quiet without protest.

The directive originated from the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Star Palace and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Feather sect!

These two heavenly emperors had clashed fiercely over Jian Chen, but they astonishingly united on the need to conceal this affair.

The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor sought this secrecy to safeguard Jian Chen's well-being. He certainly didn't want him drawing excessive scrutiny. Despite Jian Chen's remarkable talent for concealment, contingencies demanded such caution.

On the other hand, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor aimed to prevent leaks about Jian Chen's sovereign god artifact. If that spread, the Immortal Feather sect's bounty would lose all appeal.

......

…

A few medicinal garden owners inwardly heaved sighs. Their gazes blazed with intense eagerness. Suppressing the information aligned perfectly with their own desires.

Many among them yearned for as few people as possible to learn of it.

“We come from the Courtyard of Ways. We're on the same level as the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect. Who are they to boss us around like this…” grumbled an Immortal Monarch from the Courtyard of Ways, his tone laced with dissatisfaction.

Yet, right after those words escaped him, a senior figure from the Courtyard of Ways cut him off sharply. The Courtyard of Ways held no fear toward the Immortal Feather sect or the Heavenly Star Palace, but they chose compliance out of deference. They wouldn't leak details externally, though nothing stopped them from informing their superiors.

“” Meanwhile, Zuo Dao of the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens sent a transmission to the Heavenloss Master. Thanks to Jian Chen, the pair had journeyed side by side for an extended period. They moved in unison, as if bound by a pact.

The Heavenloss Master shook his head and replied, “”

At that point, the Heavenloss Master halted briefly. Memories of Jian Chen's words inside the Skyscraping World flooded back, stirring fresh uncertainties in his mind. He pondered aloud, “”

Zuo Dao cast a profound look at the Heavenloss Master and responded, “

Those words made the Heavenloss Master knit his brows faintly. He realized Zuo Dao possessed even fuller details about Yang Yutian than he did.

“” Zuo Dao transmitted further. He reflected on the intelligence gathered from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu within the Skyscraping World.

The Illusionary Ancestor of the Waymight clan appeared to view Jian Chen in an unusually favorable light.

In another location, the city lord of Yi Immortal City from the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, approached the city lord of Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. He carried himself with utmost humility, offering genuine remorse for his earlier actions.

The events unfolding beyond the Skyscraping World had shaken him to his core. Who could have foreseen that a simple Immortal Emperor would summon no fewer than four heavenly emperors? No matter Jian Chen's ties to these powerhouses—ally or adversary—the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt resolved to steer clear entirely. He moved swiftly to repair bridges with the Immortal Rising City.

His modest Yi Immortal City simply couldn't withstand such turmoil.

Beyond the Skyscraping World, as the assembled crowd began to scatter, the once-bustling area gradually regained its familiar peace.

Except for the Scholar Capital Master, who rushed back to the Modest Silence Heaven amid the ongoing conflict, the rest of the medicinal garden owners refrained from heading to their own domains. Rather, they trailed the path Jian Chen had taken, quietly probing as they went.

The Immortal Feather sect's reward held no sway over them, nor did the Heavenly Star Palace's safeguarding. This involved a sovereign god artifact, after all. Even braving conflict with entire courts of heaven seemed a gamble worth taking.

Certain chances justified staking one's very existence. They might forsake their sects, clans, and kin without a second thought.

The sovereign god artifact in Jian Chen's possession, capable of mending injuries without end, more than merited such a hazard.

Within a stunning garden deep inside the Heavenly Star Palace, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor strolled casually along a narrow trail beside the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance. An unseen force shrouded the whole garden, severing all ties to the outer realm.

The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor attended in the flesh, whereas the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance remained as a mere projection.

“What did you just say? He's the heir to the Azulet swords?” Before long, the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance grasped Jian Chen's actual identity from the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's revelation. A deep tremor shook him inwardly.

Even as a heavenly emperor, he found it hard to steady himself upon uncovering this hidden truth. His pulse raced uncontrollably.

Observing the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance's stunned reaction, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor chuckled and remarked, “This was verified directly by the artifact spirit of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. If doubt lingers, inquire with it personally.” With a mere flicker of intent, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star materialized. Its aura fully restrained, it appeared notably subdued.

The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance showed keen interest in the Azulet swords' successor. He engaged directly with the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star's artifact spirit, ultimately affirming the claim.

“After more than three million years, I never imagined the long-lost Azulet swords would resurface at last…” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance trailed off, releasing a heartfelt sigh brimming with complex feelings.

“No matter his background, the twin swords' selection marks him as the venerable elder's heir. Thus, we must extend our utmost support and shielding. Sword Radiance, what's your position here?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor regarded the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance intently.

“Our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords' resolve remains unwavering. Long before the elder's heir emerged, we'd already exerted maximum effort to defend the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Notably, Sword Heart clashed with Nanming Yuyan of the Vermillion Bird clan on the Reverent Observance Heaven to aid the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, suffering grave wounds in the process. Now, with the elder's successor revealed, our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords pledges full commitment to his safeguard,” declared the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance gravely.

“Your Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords' firm alignment reassures me greatly. Factoring in the rest, we'll nearly rally half the twelve courts of heaven solidly behind the twin swords' successor.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor visibly relaxed.

“Half?” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance shook his head. “That's perhaps overly hopeful. Over these years, their attitudes toward the twin swords' successor have grown uncertain for many. The Immortals’ World's obligations to the elder, along with his enduring legacy, have dimmed in the eyes of some.”

“In truth, numerous among them dismiss their debt to the elder outright. They may voice support or act superficially to silence external chatter and speculation. But faced with true sacrifice, they'll merely nod in agreement while taking no real steps.”

At those words, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's expression darkened abruptly. His eyes flashed with keen intensity.

“Moreover, the primary threat at present doesn't stem from the courts of heaven. Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor, do you realize whom I crossed paths with while chasing the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor?”

“Who?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor inquired, intrigued.

“The Waymight clan's second ancestor, Daowei Huanru!”

Upon hearing that from the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's features twisted in shock. Composure shattered, he exclaimed, “What? You met Daowei Huanru? That's impossible. Why would the Waymight clan concern itself with Skyscraping World affairs?”

“Beats me. But judging by appearances, Daowei Huanru learned of him ahead of even us.” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance let out a soft sigh.

“How could this be? The Waymight clan… the Waymight clan… He's in deep peril now. Considering Daowei Huanru's stature, her interest in a mere Immortal Emperor youth without cause—even intercepting the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor—means she surely knows Yang Yutian's true nature.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's countenance shifted. Unwittingly, his hands balled into tight fists.

The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance grew quiet for a moment. He meticulously reviewed his encounter with Daowei Huanru and stated, “Daowei Huanru's demeanor felt oddly peculiar. She… showed no signs of hostility.”
