Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3992: Future Danger

Vice pavilion master Liao Chen nodded, his thoughts deep in contemplation. Soon after, a recollection surfaced, bringing with it a wave of worry. “In recent years, when I’ve communed with the Dao during my cultivation, I’ve regularly sensed a tremendous danger emanating from a distant location. This sense of peril can genuinely be described as world-ending, potent enough to completely overturn the legacy and heritage of our entire Immortals’ World.”

“Despite our Immortals’ World possessing the Dominion’s Brush and the Book of the Populace, I still feel that these two artifacts are insufficient to contend against the potential future apocalypse.”

“Should we fail to avert this apocalypse, then even our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, situated within Observance Heaven City, will not escape utter destruction.”

“The only means of contending against this looming apocalypse that I can conceive of is the Hole of Reincarnation…”

As the Hole of Reincarnation was mentioned, an unusual light flickered in Liao Chen’s eyes, revealing a profound curiosity intertwined with a profound entrustment of hope.

The pavilion master sighed softly, stating, “The danger you sense originates from the Saints’ World. The Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths from that realm is currently forging an ultimate god artifact of astonishing power. It is rumored that upon its completion, this artifact will possess the capability to fundamentally alter the destiny of a major world, rendering it invincible.”

“However, our Immortals’ World is presently at a disadvantage compared to them. Even with the Grand Exalt born from the Waymight clan, we cannot bridge the gap with the Saints’ World. As for that ultimate god artifact, we are currently powerless in its regard.”

“If a second individual were to emerge from the Hole of Reincarnation, then perhaps we might alter this unfavorable situation,” Liao Chen remarked softly.

The pavilion master responded with resignation, “Daowei Chengqing asserted that the Hole of Reincarnation can only be entered once. Should he attempt a second entry, he would be unable to return, unlike others. Otherwise, we could have instructed him to enter again and ascertain if he could retrieve anything enigmatic.”

“What if he lied? The Waymight clan has already ascended, becoming a clan with a sovereign. In the current Immortals’ World, who possesses the might to compel them to act against their will?” The pavilion master paused, his gaze deepening as he continued, “However, there is indeed something true. Ever since Daowei Chengqing underwent rebirth, he has not entered the Hole of Reincarnation a second time, nor has he even approached the vicinity. Perhaps he is indeed telling the truth, that it can only be entered once.”

“As for Jian Chen…” When the pavilion master mentioned Jian Chen, he couldn't help but pause, his eyes reflecting a complex mix of emotions. Ultimately, he let out a gentle sigh and declared, “Regardless of whatever peculiar attraction the Hole of Reincarnation holds for him, he must not be permitted to set foot inside.”

“He is the inheritor of the twin swords, and he carries the hope for the revival of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. His obligations and responsibilities ought to be centered on the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens; he should not be preoccupied with this future cataclysm.”

“After all, he is merely an Immortal Emperor at present, pursued by numerous Immortal Exalts across the Immortals’ World. Certain burdens are not meant for him to shoulder…”

“The Immortals’ World has already faltered in its duty to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Now that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has finally cultivated a promising prodigy, one who embodies the hope of their resurgence, how can we possibly allow this seedling to be claimed by the Hole of Reincarnation…”

Within the inn, Jian Chen stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the bustling streets below, lost in contemplation. He continued to ponder the inexplicable influence exerted on his emotions by the presence emanating from the Hole of Reincarnation. It seemed he would find no inner peace until he uncovered its secrets.

Yet, ultimately, no matter how intensely he furrowed his brow or how diligently he sought answers, he found nothing.

This situation was intrinsically linked to the Hole of Reincarnation itself, a place of such profound mystery that even Grand Exalts could not fully comprehend it. Without personally entering, gaining further insights would remain an elusive goal.

In the blink of an eye, another half-month elapsed. During this period, Jian Chen observed that the repercussions of the Skyscraping World incident were spreading with increasing momentum. Although he lacked a precise understanding of the external situation, awareness of these events was no longer confined to the principal disciples of major organizations within Observance Heaven City. Mid-tier organizations had also become privy to the news. In fact, even clansmen of lesser importance within these organizations had heard whispers of the affair.

A direct attempt at suppression would surely incite a fierce backlash. The events within the Skyscraping World were now beginning to spiral out of control. Even with the combined efforts of the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect to quash the information, their efforts were bound to fail eventually.

News of a sovereign god artifact capable of infinite healing, the confrontation between the two heavenly emperors of the Immortal Feather sect and the Heavenly Star Palace beyond the Skyscraping World, and even the personal appearance of the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords—any one of these occurrences, if revealed, would send shockwaves through the entire Immortals’ World. The fact that they all happened concurrently amplified their impact to an unimaginable degree.

Their collective influence was clearly beyond comprehension.

“Four heavenly emperors personally appeared, and it even resulted in a clash between the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor. Who would have ever imagined that the one who set all this in motion was once merely a Thousand Immortal General from our Observance Heaven City…”

“Indeed, who would have thought an Immortal Emperor could cause such a massive disturbance…”

“I heard the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor went to extraordinary lengths to protect Chang Yang, far more than he would for any ordinary descendant. Considering Chang Yang’s enigmatic identity and background, some within the Immortals’ World even speculate that Chang Yang might be the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor’s illegitimate son…”

“In my estimation, the primary reason the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor would shield Chang Yang is likely due to the sovereign god artifact he possesses as well…”

......

…

Jian Chen could now overhear such discussions everywhere within Observance Heaven City. Everyone was participating in these conversations, with rumors escalating in their exaggeration.

“So that’s how it is,” Jian Chen mused. At this very moment, a flicker of enlightenment dawned in his mind. Unbeknownst to him, his Hundred Superimposition Sword technique had advanced once more, successfully reaching the eighth layer.

Each superposition amplified the power by a factor of eight. He could distinctly feel his combat strength surging.

“Alas,” Jian Chen sighed inwardly. He had temporarily set aside the matter of the Hole of Reincarnation, compelled to accept a harsh and unavoidable reality. Any inquiries regarding the Hole of Reincarnation were currently beyond his ability to resolve.

“Major news has just broken! A supreme ancestor from the Immortal Feather sect personally journeyed to Cloud Extent Heaven and annihilated the physical body of an Immortal Exalt belonging to an organization there. More than a dozen Immortal Emperor great elders suffered severe injuries…”

“It’s not limited to just Cloud Extent Heaven. A significant event has also transpired on Venerated Aptitude Heaven. The Heavenly Star Palace, one of the twelve courts of heaven, dispatched an Immortal Exalt ancestor to Venerated Aptitude Heaven. They deployed a supreme formation of immense power, successfully trapping a leading organization on Venerated Aptitude Heaven. Rumor has it they intend to keep the sect confined for a hundred thousand years…”

“I heard that the events of the Skyscraping World were revealed against the express, personal orders of the two heavenly emperors…”

“The courts of heaven must be obeyed. These two organizations defied the will of the Heavenly Star Palace and the Immortal Feather sect, which is why they faced such severe retribution…”
