Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3954: Made Public

The Immortal Exalts who had just exited the Skyscraping World felt a collective shiver run down their spines. Death's cold aura loomed over them, triggered by the Scholar Capital Master’s devastating strike.

However, despite the overwhelming power behind the Scholar Capital Master’s move, the Immortal Exalts from the Skyscraping World showed no signs of concern for Jian Chen’s safety.

Just as the torrent of energy from the Scholar Capital Master’s palm was about to collide with Jian Chen, a sharp, clear sword hum vibrated through the air. A blinding beam of sword Qi erupted from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star resting in Xing Caijian’s arms. It cleaved through the void instantly, flashing past the Scholar Capital Master’s hand.

As the sword Qi manifested, a suffocating and terrifying pressure saturated the area, leaving the masters of the medicinal gardens paralyzed with shock.

“T-this aura… It is the presence of a sovereign god artifact…”

“A sovereign god artifact has actually appeared here…”

......

…

Exclamations broke out among the medicinal garden owners. Their expressions shifted dramatically as every gaze locked onto Xing Caijian.

As the sword Qi from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star streaked past the Scholar Capital Master’s hand, his gathering energy immediately dissolved. Simultaneously, a sharp, stinging pain flared in his limb.

He looked down reflexively to inspect his hand. A bloody laceration had appeared; though the wound was shallow, it resisted all attempts at healing.

The Scholar Capital Master’s fury vanished, replaced by instant caution. He retreated instinctively, his gaze fixing upon the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star held by Xing Caijian with unprecedented gravity.

As a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, he recognized that aura immediately—it belonged to a sovereign god artifact. He also realized that the sword Qi had no killing intent. Had the artifact intended to harm him, the power it displayed would have resulted in much more than a simple scratch.

“Who are you?” Having retreated a significant distance, the Scholar Capital Master questioned her while staring intensely at Xing Caijian. Most of his focus, however, remained on the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. Deep within his eyes, a flicker of nearly uncontrollable greed sparked.

A sovereign god artifact of such immense power was vastly superior to the Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul he currently wielded.

In fact, "superior" was an understatement. They were incomparable, existing on entirely different planes of existence.

Yet, for all his desire, the Scholar Capital Master lacked the bravery to attempt a seizure. The chilling display of power from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star had already filled him with dread.

In that moment, Xing Caijian became the focal point of the entire region. Every cultivator present, regardless of their cultivation level, turned their eyes toward her.

“Scholar Capital Master, this is Princess Caijian of the Heavenly Star Palace!” An Immortal Exalt who had followed her out of the Skyscraping World took the initiative to introduce her.

“Princess?” Doubt flickered in the Scholar Capital Master’s eyes. The Heavenly Star Palace was among the twelve courts of heaven, and the title of "Princess" was not a term used lightly for common members of such an organization.

But a sudden realization struck the Scholar Capital Master, causing his heart to thump in surprise. His perception of her shifted instantly. “You are the daughter of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and Venerable Caijian—Xing Caijian?”

The masters of the medicinal gardens were only now learning Xing Caijian’s true identity, and the revelation left them stunned.

The daughter of a Heavenly Emperor held a status that was anything but ordinary.

“Yang Yutian is an honored guest of our Heavenly Star Palace. If anyone intends to target him, you must first pass through me,” Xing Caijian declared. Her tone was calm, yet it carried a weight of absolute, undeniable resolve.

It was a surreal sight: a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor speaking so boldly to a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt like the Scholar Capital Master.

Given his cultivation, he was a supreme being even within a court of heaven, holding a position of immense prestige. Unless there was a blood feud that could not be resolved, even the courts of heaven preferred not to antagonize such powerful experts.

The Scholar Capital Master ignored her perceived insolence, his eyes remaining glued to the ancient weapon in her arms.

Xing Caijian reached down and slowly unwrapped the rough cloth covering the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. It revealed a breathtakingly beautiful sheath of silvery-white. It shimmered with innumerable points of light, resembling a vast, glittering galaxy of stars.

This marked the first time the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star had been fully unveiled during their journey to the Skyscraping World.

Only the hilt and sheath were visible, and the overwhelming pressure of a sovereign god artifact was currently absent.

The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star was deliberately suppressing its power, refusing to show its true edge until the moment of combat.

The Scholar Capital Master took a sharp breath. While the power of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star made his heart burn with longing, he lacked the courage to pursue such a weapon. His thoughts returned to his own Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul.

“The Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was my life’s work, yet this individual destroyed it. I demand an explanation,” the Scholar Capital Master stated icily.

“The Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was originally planted by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable. It matured by consuming the spiritual Qi of the Skyscraping World. Since when has it belonged to you?” Xing Caijian countered.

“Xing Caijian, I will not quarrel with you out of respect for the Heavenly Emperor. However, if I am not given satisfaction regarding the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, I will not let this go. Surely your Heavenly Star Palace does not wish to provoke a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt over a single fruit?”

“Your Heavenly Star Palace may be one of the twelve courts of heaven, and the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor is indeed a figure of great renown throughout the Immortals’ World, but let me be blunt. Within your entire palace, there are only two or three individuals capable of threatening me.” The Scholar Capital Master was prepared to risk everything, as the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was vital to his path.

Xing Caijian’s brow furrowed. She was aware that his claim was accurate. Experts of the Sixth Heavenly Layer were rare even in the vast Immortals’ World. Some of the lesser heavens lacked such masters entirely. Even the twelve courts of heaven combined only possessed a small number of experts who could truly suppress someone of the Scholar Capital Master’s caliber.

Nevertheless, Xing Caijian remained undaunted. “It appears the Scholar Capital Master is intent on making an enemy of the Heavenly Star Palace over a fruit that was never yours.” Xing Caijian looked down at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star and spoke in a cold, measured voice, “Senior Heavenly Star…”

The Scholar Capital Master’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her call upon the artifact. He quickly shouted, “It would be simple for the Heavenly Star Palace to resolve my grievance with this boy! You only need to facilitate an exchange with the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords for a Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing of equal quality to the one from the Skyscraping World. Agree to this, and I shall depart at once.”

“”

At that moment, a mysterious voice drifted through the air. It was clearly transmitted via a secret technique, one so profound that even mid-level Immortal Exalts could not trace its origin.

While the experts from the Skyscraping World were already aware of the sovereign god artifact, the garden owners outside were not. Hearing this voice caused them to tremble with inner dread.

“” The voice echoed again, sounding as if it were intentionally inciting conflict. It proceeded to expose every detail of Jian Chen’s actions within the Skyscraping World.
