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

“Uncle Illusion-condensing, this man is a 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 together as he met her stubborn stare. He spoke with a stern tone, “A guest of the Heavenly Star Palace? Xing Caijian, do you realize what you are saying? He has slaughtered Great Elders of the Immortal Feather Sect. Have you considered the gravity of the fallout if you persist in associating with him?”

“I am fully aware, but a guest remains a guest. It is not the way of our Heavenly Star Palace to turn our backs on guests simply because they have crossed the Immortal Feather Sect. If such news spread, the world would believe 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 was highly unusual. For the first time, he shifted his focus to Jian Chen, inspecting the youth with absolute seriousness. His profound eyes seemed capable of piercing through any facade, attempting to strip away Jian Chen’s secrets.

Furthermore, a glimmer of divination sparked deep within the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s pupils. He merged his soul into the world at that moment, seeking resonance with the Dao to uncover truths hidden in the primal depths of the universe.

Under this intense scrutiny, Jian Chen felt a sudden sensation of being completely exposed.

However, that was merely a feeling. His capacity for concealment had only strengthened alongside his rising cultivation. Protected by the mask of the Illusionary Daemon race, even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt would find it challenging to see through his disguise.

Before long, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster withdrew his gaze, a trace of shock flickering in his expression. He found himself unable to perceive the junior’s true nature, and even his divination yielded nothing. Such an occurrence was incredibly 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 think this through…” In the distance, a grey-robed old man spoke up in a slow, persuasive voice.

This was Elder Bai. Although he was merely a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, his status was far from ordinary, and no one present dared to treat him with anything but respect.

Elder Bai hailed from the Courtyard of Ways. He had traveled there specifically to protect the students of the Courtyard of Ways and had been waiting outside for their return.

…

The gathered Immortal Exalts engaged in hushed, serious discussions. While glints of avarice and temptation occasionally sparked in their eyes, they also cast wary glances at the ancient sword cradled in Xing Caijian’s arms.

They had already received word concerning the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star.

Suddenly, the surrounding space began to warp violently. Massive fractures erupted, spreading across the void like a jagged spider web.

Through these gaping spatial rifts, one could catch glimpses of brilliant starlight and magnificent galaxies in the distance, forming a breathtaking celestial map.

Simultaneously, more than a dozen figures were seated near the exit of the Skyscraping World. The invisible pressure they exerted was so immense that the local space seemed frozen, and even the flow of spiritual Qi was halted.

Each individual was a powerhouse of immense scale, capable of commanding the elements and shattering worlds at will. Even without intentionally exerting their presence, the mere wisps of power they leaked were enough to warp the environment.

Many of these figures were the true masters of the medicinal gardens within the Skyscraping World!

Abruptly, these figures sensed a change. Their eyes snapped open, looking toward the horizon.

“The Skyscraping World has finally sealed shut. To think its position would shift so drastically…”

“Why has the entrance appeared so far away this time? My preparations here were for nothing,” someone muttered under their breath.

Meanwhile, the Scholar Capital Master, who had been waiting for years, had long since lost his calm. His eyes betrayed deep anxiety and unease. He feared more than anything that the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing had already been consumed.

In a flash, the Scholar Capital Master vanished, racing toward the exit with everything he had.

Various formation discs and banners hidden in the void manifested, returning to the hands of their owners. Once their tools were retrieved, they too surged toward the entrance.

“Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation, emerge!” A thunderous roar shook the area as surging energy erupted from the void. Nine massive golden cauldrons materialized, radiating a blinding radiance.

These nine golden cauldrons looked like nine miniature suns from a distance, casting a brilliant light across the cosmos.

The cauldrons vanished in an instant, reappearing billions of kilometers away as they reached the entrance of the Skyscraping World ahead of everyone else.

Near the exit, Jian Chen felt the environment shift. As the familiar spiritual Qi of the Immortals’ World reached him, he knew he had returned.

Jian Chen immediately tensed, ready for battle. Inside the Primeval Divine Hall, the Divine Formation of the Heavens was primed to strike at a moment's notice. He also engaged the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, causing his form to vanish instantly.

Watching him closely, the Illusion-Condensing Swordmaster was struck with shock. He stared at the spot where Jian Chen had been, feeling a sense of disbelief.

Even with his high cultivation, he could find no trace of Jian Chen’s presence.

“Yang Yutian, you have committed countless crimes in the Skyscraping World and plundered those gardens. You will not escape!” A Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt roared in fury. He unleashed a devastating strand of sword Qi that tore through the air. Before it even reached Jian Chen’s last known position, it detonated, creating a chaotic storm that ravaged the space.

The space of the Immortals’ World was far less durable than that of the Skyscraping World. The explosion of sword Qi caused the area to collapse into turbulence, with spatial rifts stretching for tens of millions of kilometers. The scale of destruction was far beyond anything seen inside the Skyscraping World.

The Immortal Exalt knew Jian Chen’s tricks well. This attack was designed to force him out of hiding and cut off his retreat.

“Old Freak Tao, have you lost your mind? If you harm my disciples, I will make you pay!”

Furious shouts erupted as various Immortal Exalts moved to shield their disciples from the violent shockwaves.

However, the maneuver worked. Jian Chen was forced back into the visible world as the surrounding space warped and shattered. The Divine Armour of Heavenflight’s concealment was disrupted, leaving him exposed.

That single moment of hesitation was all that was needed. In the next heartbeat, the nine golden cauldrons descended, releasing a crushing pressure as they formed a massive array that trapped everyone within the vicinity.
