Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3986: Returning to the Reverent Observance Heaven
Previously on Chaotic Sword God...
Right after the Worldless Immortal Exalt, the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion ceased her concealment and stepped forward openly.
His gaze gleamed as the Myriad Gold Ancestor looked toward the Worldless Immortal Exalt and the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion. “I didn’t expect the two of you to show up here too. That’s truly caught me by surprise.”
A quick glance was cast by the Worldless Immortal Exalt at the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion standing quietly off to the side. A subtle trace of severity flickered deep within his eyes. He then turned to the Jade Lotus Master and stated, “You can tell us now.”
Confronted by two Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts and a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Jade Lotus Master lacked the daring to conceal any details. She promptly recounted all that had transpired in this place. Yet, nearing the subject of the Illusionary Ancestor, she treaded with utmost caution, offering no further specifics.
Having laid out the full story, a wave of bewilderment washed over the Jade Lotus Master. No traces of anger or malice appeared in the eyes of the Myriad Gold Ancestor, Worldless Immortal Exalt, or first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion. In reality, sparks of thrill and delight danced within their gazes.
“Fellows, have you really come for the Master of Profound Secrets’ death?” Hesitation colored the Jade Lotus Master’s words. Something felt off to her.
“Of course!” A cryptic smile curved the Worldless Immortal Exalt’s lips as he replied, “Thank you for the information. The three of us still have other matters to deal with, so we’ll be taking our leave.”
Even as he spoke, the Worldless Immortal Exalt sent secret transmissions to the Myriad Gold Ancestor and the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion, then departed swiftly. In a flash, he vanished completely.
The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion and the Myriad Gold Ancestor lingered briefly before they too departed.
The Jade Lotus Master observed the three powerhouses fade away. Uncertainty and complexity twisted her features.
“The three of them didn’t come for the Master of Profound Secrets’ death, as they’re completely unfazed by his death,” the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt slowly drifted closer while musing aloud.
The Jade Lotus Master nodded her agreement. Her stern gaze fell upon the endless chasm at the Azure Light Mountain’s core as she remarked, “I sensed it too. They don’t care about the Master of Profound Secrets’ fate, but they seem to be very interested in the traces here.”
A momentary pause gripped the Jade Lotus Master as a realization struck. With uncertainty in her voice, she questioned, “Don’t tell me they’ve come for Yang Yutian?”
“Yang Yutian? Yang Yutian yet again? Our understanding of this man remains woefully insufficient. We must investigate him thoroughly…”
High above a barren desert far removed from the Azure Light Mountain in Jade’s End Heaven floated the Worldless Immortal Exalt, Myriad Gold Ancestor, and first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion.
“Worldless Immortal Exalt, if you’ve got something to say, spit it out. I haven’t got time to dawdle,” the Myriad Gold Ancestor stated flatly.
A smile played on the Worldless Immortal Exalt’s face as he asked, “Have you considered teaming up?”
“I haven’t! Teaming up could breed even more complications,” the Myriad Gold Ancestor shot back without pause.
The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion stayed silent, merely hovering there without a word.
The Worldless Immortal Exalt’s smile persisted as he pressed on. “Right now in the Immortals’ World, we three aren’t the only ones hunting Yang Yutian. Heavenly emperors might be maneuvering in secret too. With knowledge of Yang Yutian’s trail on Jade’s End Heaven, we hold a clear lead over the rest. Seizing this chance to collaborate would skyrocket our odds of capturing him.”
“But my call for alliance isn’t solely about locating Yang Yutian. His cultivation may seem trivial, yet handling him is no easy feat. One slip could prove fatal. After all, you’ve both seen the formation’s terrifying prowess.”
The Myriad Gold Ancestor averted his eyes downward while sternness gripped the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion. Visions of the Azure Light Mountain’s cataclysmic destruction replayed in their minds, its sheer force leaving them shaken once more.
Though profound wariness filled them toward this formation’s might, it failed to instill fear. On the contrary, their craving for it grew fiercer.
Provided they evaded the formation’s annihilating blow, Immortal Emperors would appear as insignificant ants before them.
The Worldless Immortal Exalt went on, “The illusionary body of the Path of Truth and Illusion’s first master can fool anyone completely, making it perfect to overcome his formation. He’ll waste it on the fake body. At the same time, brother Myriad Gold’s Nine Dragons Prison Cauldron Formation seals space entirely. Once Yang Yutian is inside, he’ll stay trapped no matter how well he conceals himself.”
“Regarding myself, I command the Laws of Space; surely you both know the edges it gives. No need for more words. Thus, uniting our strengths, we can support each other. Sure, there could be doubts and the need to watch one another, yet the gains far exceed the risks.”
“How do we divide the spoils?” asked the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion.
“Naturally, it’ll depend on our respective strengths after catching Yang Yutian. Alternatively, we could devise a fair split where all gain something and none leave bare-handed,” replied the Worldless Immortal Exalt with a grin.
The Myriad Gold Ancestor and the first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion fell deep into contemplation, seemingly balancing pros and cons.
“Very well. I consent to this alliance.” After moments of deliberation, the Myriad Gold Ancestor reached his verdict.
The first master of the Path of Truth and Illusion offered no objection. Following brief reflection, she committed as well.
......
…
In the vast outer space, Jian Chen sped along swiftly via the Laws of Space, shielded by the Illusionary Daemon race’s mask and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight.
His mastery of the Laws of Space had now hit the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor. Boosted by the Spatial Insect Emperor’s innate gifts, Jian Chen’s control and command of the Laws of Space outshone peers at his realm. Teleportation formations were no longer essential for his cosmic journeys.
The starry sea brimmed with unrest. Deadly threats prowled everywhere, some fierce enough to endanger even Immortal Exalts, far beyond Immortal Emperors.
Thus, Jian Chen witnessed countless clashes among cultivators en route. Immortal vessels chased each other fiercely, while star beasts stalked prey amid the void.
To conceal his presence, Jian Chen steered clear of every conflict. The Illusionary Daemon race’s mask paired with the Divine Armour of Heavenflight let him evade them all flawlessly.
At last, after days of travel spanning immense distances, Jian Chen reentered the Reverent Observance Heaven.
His sole purpose upon return was to reclaim the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens!
“” Jian Chen inwardly sighed while staring at the floating land fragment ahead. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had obliterated these groups. In a way, their doom traced back to him.
Yet Jian Chen felt helpless about it. He couldn’t abandon the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ vengeance or halt his pursuit of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants merely because innocents would suffer.
Soon enough, Jian Chen reached a towering, grand city. It was Observance Heaven City.
