Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3966: Learning the Identity

Simultaneously, every cultivator who had exited the Skyscraping World, along with the medicinal garden owners, found themselves bound to silence. They were under strict orders not to reveal a single detail about the Skyscraping World.

In addition, 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.

This call for secrecy clearly irritated numerous individuals on site, yet upon recalling the source of the command, everyone fell silent immediately.

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 surprisingly united on the issue of concealing this information.

The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor sought this for Jian Chen's protection. He certainly didn't want him drawing excessive scrutiny. Despite Jian Chen's remarkable concealment skills, contingencies for the worst had to be considered.

On the other hand, the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor aimed to prevent leaks about Jian Chen's sovereign god artifact. If that spread, who would bother with the bounty offered by their Immortal Feather sect?

......

…

Internally, several medicinal garden owners let out sighs. Their gazes blazed with intense eagerness. Suppressing the news aligned perfectly with their own desires too.

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

“We represent the Courtyard of Ways. We hold equal standing to the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect. What authority do they have to command us like this…” an Immortal Monarch from the Courtyard of Ways grumbled discontentedly.

Yet, right after those words escaped him, a senior figure from the Courtyard of Ways hushed him. The Courtyard of Ways held no fear toward the Immortal Feather sect or the Heavenly Star Palace, but they chose compliance out of deference. While they wouldn't leak it externally, 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 formal pact.

The Heavenloss Master shook his head and replied, “”

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

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

Upon hearing this, the Heavenloss Master creased his brow faintly. It struck him that 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 regard Jian Chen in an unusually special manner.

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 previous actions.

The events unfolding beyond the Skyscraping World had thoroughly alarmed him. Who could have foreseen that a simple Immortal Emperor would summon no less than four heavenly emperors? No matter Jian Chen's ties to these powerhouses—be they allies or adversaries—the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt resolved to steer clear entirely. He rushed to repair bridges with 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 bustling area gradually regained its familiar peace.

Except for the Scholar Capital Master, who dashed back to the Modest Silence Heaven amid the ongoing conflict, the rest of the medicinal garden owners largely stayed away from their home grounds. Rather, they trailed the path Jian Chen had taken, quietly probing as they went.

The Immortal Feather sect's bounty meant nothing to them, nor did the Heavenly Star Palace's safeguarding, since a sovereign god artifact hung in the balance. Even clashing with entire courts of heaven seemed a risk worth taking.

Certain chances justified staking one's very existence. They might even forsake their sects, clans, and lineages for it.

The endless wound-healing sovereign god artifact tied to Jian Chen made such stakes entirely justifiable.

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 barrier shrouded the whole garden, severing all links to the outer realm.

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

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

Even as a heavenly emperor, maintaining composure proved challenging after 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 remarkably subdued.

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

“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, chosen by the twin swords, he must be the venerable elder's heir. Thus, we must extend our utmost support and shielding. Sword Radiance, what's your view here?” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor regarded the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance intently.

“Our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords' position remains unwavering. Long before the venerable elder's heir emerged, we'd already exerted maximum effort to safeguard the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Notably, Sword Heart clashed with Nanming Yuyan of the Vermillion Bird clan on the Reverent Observance Heaven to defend the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, suffering severe wounds in the process. Now, with the heir revealed, our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords will spare no resource in his defense,” the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance declared resolutely.

“Your Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords' commitment bolsters my assurance greatly. Factoring in the rest, we'll nearly gather half the twelve courts of heaven solidly behind the twin swords' successor.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor relaxed visibly.

“Half?” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance shook his head. “That's perhaps overly hopeful. Across these years, their attitudes toward the twin swords' successor remain unpredictable. The Immortals' World's obligations to the venerable elder, along with his enduring legacy, have steadily diminished for certain parties.”

“In truth, many treat their dues to the venerable elder lightly. They may voice support or act superficially, merely to silence external whispers and tales. Faced with true demands for sacrifice, they'll nod along outwardly while dragging their feet in reality.”

Those words darkened the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's expression abruptly. His stare grew piercing.

“Moreover, the primary threat doesn't stem from the courts of heaven presently. 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 with keen interest.

“The second ancestor of the Waymight clan, Daowei Huanru!”

At the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance's utterance, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's visage shifted dramatically. Composure shattered as he exclaimed, “What? You met Daowei Huanru? That's inconceivable. Why would the Waymight clan concern itself with Skyscraping World affairs?”

“Beats me. Yet, it seems Daowei Huanru knew of him prior to our discovery.” The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance exhaled softly.

“How could this be? The Waymight clan… the Waymight clan… He's in grave peril now. Considering Daowei Huanru's stature, why target an Immortal Emperor youth without cause, even halting the Universe Breaching Heavenly Emperor? She must recognize Yang Yutian's true nature.” The Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor's features twisted. Unwittingly, his hands balled into fists.

The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance quieted briefly. He meticulously replayed his encounter with Daowei Huanru and noted, “Daowei Huanru's demeanor felt oddly peculiar. She… appeared devoid of hostile intent.”
