Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3967: Xing Caijian’s Gift

“Given her status, it’s impossible for her to harbor any grudge against a junior Immortal Emperor. In the end, their interest lies solely in the twin swords.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor shook his head in disagreement.

“By the way, did Yang Yutian ultimately escape the grasp of the Illusionary Ancestor?”

“He managed to flee successfully thanks to your assistance. The Illusionary Ancestor chose not to pursue him,” replied the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.

“She let him go? It seems they haven’t discovered a valid excuse yet. After all, as a sovereign clan in the Immortals’ World now, they must uphold their reputation. Thankfully, they’re showing some restraint. If they shamelessly attempted to seize it by force, no one could stand in their way.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor let out a soft sigh. “What a unfortunate moment this is. The successor to the old senior has surfaced at the worst possible time. Senior Samsaric faces peril with his destiny unclear. Without Senior Samsaric to counter the Waymight clan, how can mere courts of heaven like us possibly resist them?”

With those thoughts, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor felt a heavy burden in his chest. Maintaining his earlier hopeful demeanor became challenging in light of the Waymight clan’s involvement.

The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance also grew quiet. Had the Waymight clan not detected the successor of the twin swords, the courts of heaven could have offered him shelter without issue. Even if direct protection proved impossible, they might have concealed him until the moment was right to unveil him.

Yet, now that the Waymight clan had taken notice, handling the situation grew exceedingly complicated.

Top experts in the Immortals’ World had long discerned the Waymight clan’s hidden desires. In truth, this knowledge was no longer concealed among the elite circles.

“Years ago, the Waymight clan employed diverse tactics to draw in certain disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Today, those individuals retain their status as Sword Sect of Violet Heavens disciples on paper, but in reality, they’ve fully integrated into the Waymight clan.”

“The Waymight clan started plotting for the twin swords ages ago. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens disciples they initially absorbed are poised to supplant the primary lineage when the opportunity arises. Once that happens, they’ll claim the twin swords legitimately. Should the Waymight clan-backed main lineage acquire the twin swords, it amounts to the Waymight clan securing possession of them.”

“Previously, with the twin swords absent, the Waymight clan’s supported disciples remained inactive. But now, with the twin swords’ successor revealed, the Waymight clan will undoubtedly act swiftly,” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance mused.

Upon hearing this, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s gaze sharpened with chill. He uttered bitterly, “At that time, Daowei Fatian hadn’t ascended to Grand Exalt status yet. I never imagined he was already eyeing the twin swords. Had I uncovered his schemes sooner, I would have allowed the Saints’ World experts to end him right there.”

“Such aspirations aren’t unique to the Waymight clan. The twin swords hold such immense power—who in the Immortals’ World wouldn’t covet them? Even without fusing them, simply brandishing them provides a formidable deterrent.”

“Still, debating this serves no purpose anymore. We should focus on safeguarding the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ original lineage,” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance suggested.

The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor knitted his brows deeply and responded, “Besides Daowei Fatian, the only other figure in the Immortals’ World is the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound. If all else fails, we’ll seek him out. The Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound may hesitate to provoke Daowei Fatian by aligning with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but it’s our sole viable path.”

Gently shaking his head, the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance said, “Though the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound has held that rank far longer than Daowei Fatian, the latter wields the Book of the Populace, granting him power that surpasses what the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound can challenge. This approach wouldn’t work.”

“Do you have a superior plan, then?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor eyed the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance.

“Haven’t I mentioned it? The Waymight clan still values their image ultimately. As long as they avoid outright force, opportunities for negotiation exist. This is just a short-term measure, but we’ll prolong it as much as possible…”

......

…

Under the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s formidable energy, Jian Chen crossed nearly half the Immortals’ World at an astonishing pace before coming to a halt in an unknown stretch of space.

Freed from the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s binding force, Jian Chen regained his mobility. He donned the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, merging seamlessly into the surrounding void.

Yet, right after these actions, Jian Chen’s eyes tightened. His gaze fixed intently on his palm.

Unbeknownst to him, a Space Ring had materialized there.

After rummaging through his recollections, he pieced together that the Space Ring had been slipped into his grasp covertly just before the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s overwhelming might immobilized him and propelled him away from the area.

His focus had been diverted, and his form held fast, so the transfer escaped his notice at first.

Jian Chen lacked the leisure to inspect the Space Ring immediately. Uncertain if any powerhouses had followed the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s energy to track him, he promptly departed the region, concealed by the dual disguises of the Illusionary Daemon race mask and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight.

Following that, Jian Chen harnessed the Laws of Space to navigate the starry expanse. He altered directions repeatedly, wandering without purpose like a fly without a head.

Ultimately, following three days of ceaseless movement, Jian Chen alighted upon a rugged meteor.

“I’ll devote the coming days to undisturbed cultivation here.” Jian Chen located a natural cavern. He stepped inside, settled down, and crossed his legs. His recent breakthrough in the Laws of the Sword had boosted his total prowess immensely, demanding time for solid consolidation.

In truth, Jian Chen hadn’t spared a moment to examine the Space Ring’s contents. He dove straight into pondering the Laws of the Sword.

The lingering essence from the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s seed of ways hadn’t fully vanished. Traces of Sword Dao insight persisted. These way fragments faded and scattered progressively, urging him to grasp every instant and assimilate as much insight as feasible.

Although the residual seed of ways energy fell short of enabling another breakthrough for Jian Chen, it offered a swift surge in understanding, one he refused to squander.

After seven days, the seed of ways’ energy fully dissipated. Those seven days of practice yielded gains equivalent to over a hundred years of Jian Chen’s typical, grueling efforts.

Jian Chen gradually parted his eyelids and turned his attention to the Space Ring clutched in his hand. It featured a delicate, womanly craftsmanship. A subtle floral scent clung to it still.

Gazing at the Space Ring, a spark of realization lit Jian Chen’s eyes. He recognized its owner without doubt.

In an instant, he extended his soul sense into the Space Ring. The contents within promptly stunned him, stirring a whirlwind of emotions.

Heaps of heavenly resources crammed the Space Ring. Spanning various grades, they numbered in the hundreds of thousands altogether.

One look told Jian Chen these heavenly resources originated from the Skyscraping World’s medicinal gardens. Their vast assortment catered to countless applications.

Xing Caijian had gathered every heavenly resource she obtained in the Skyscraping World and bestowed them all upon Jian Chen.
