Jian Chen sat boldly on the sect master’s throne in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens as if he was waiting for something.
Very soon, a streak of light reached the main peak. Chen Feng dressed in the uniform of a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens entered the main hall.
He was still one of the few core disciples in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. His true ident.i.ty had not been made public within the sect.
Chen Feng only stopped when he reached the centre of the main hall. As he gazed at Jian Chen who peered down on him from the sect master’s throne, a hint of displeasure flashed through the depths of his eyes.
“If this Jian Chen didn’t know my ident.i.ty, then so be it, but since he does know, isn’t he getting too ahead of himself by still treating me like I’m inferior to him?” Chen Feng was secretly annoyed.
He knew that Jian Chen had a background, but he was extremely confident that his background was even stronger than Jian Chen’s.
Even if they ignored their backgrounds, he was still an Immortal Monarch after all. In terms of strength, Jian Chen came nowhere close to him as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.
“I heard from elder Nong that you’re looking for me?” Chen Feng stood below with his arms crossed as he asked with a hint of indifference.
Jian Chen was unconcerned with Chen Feng’s att.i.tude. He said calmly, “That’s right, I did indeed call you here. Something happened with the Immortal Devouring Orchid earlier. I don’t know if you sensed it or not.”
“I did sense something. If I’ve guessed correctly, the people from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants have probably gone after the Immortal Devouring Orchid,” said Chen Feng.
“That’s right! It was them,” said Jian Chen.
Chen Feng smiled faintly in response to that. “The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants found out about the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s true strength a long time ago. Since they’re bold enough to take action, they must have made all the preparations possible. The Immortal Devouring Orchid is probably done for this time.” Chen Feng paused after reaching there. “Jian Chen, are you telling me this because you want help from our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords?”
“I don’t exactly want help. As long as the Immortal Exalts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants don’t take action, they can’t threaten the Immortal Devouring Orchid. The Immortal Devouring Orchid has already fended off the danger and returned to the sect peacefully.” Jian Chen smiled faintly.
“It’s actually escaped from danger so quickly?” Chen Feng was surprised as if he had never expected this.
“Chen Feng, have there been any developments with regards to what we discussed earlier? Does your esteemed sect have any experts who are willing to meet with me?” Jian Chen looked at Chen Feng with s.h.i.+ning eyes.
“Don’t worry. Since I agreed to it, I would definitely do it. I’ve pa.s.sed your request onto a great elder of the sect already. As for what comes afterwards, that’s not something that I have an idea about,” said Chen Feng.
“Then please provide the experts of your esteemed sect with another piece of news. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants mobilised a total of eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and ten Immortal Emperors in their ambush against the Immortal Devouring Orchid-”
“H-hold on, what did you say? The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants mobilised eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and ten Immortal Emperors?” Before Jian Chen could even finish what he was saying, Chen Feng had already become dumbstruck.
That was a force so powerful that it left his heart thumping.
“That was the case. On top of that, one of the ten Immortal Emperors had already reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer. However, they’ve all perished to the Immortal Devouring Orchid already.” Jian Chen’s words were like a bombsh.e.l.l, leaving Chen Feng’s head ringing.
“A Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? The entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants only has three people like that…” Chen Feng was shocked. He was deeply impacted by the news.
“Please pa.s.s on this news to the high-ranking members of your sect,” said Jian Chen as he sat back in the sect master’s throne with his eyes closed.
Even Chen Feng himself had no idea when he had exited the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. He seemed a little shaken up as he murmured, “Eighty-one Immortal Monarchs, ten Immortal Emperors… if the news of their deaths is true, t-t-then that would truly be tremendous…”
Chen Feng returned to his dwelling blankly before sitting down on a stone bed.
A colossal sword hovered quietly in the vast outer s.p.a.ce of the Immortals’ World, giving off a presence of time like it had existed since time immemorial.
There were also many s.p.a.ce beasts that lived in the Immortals’ World, but despite all this time, none of them dared to approach the colossal sword.
That was because the colossal sword would give off a wisp of tremendous pressure every now and then. Before this pressure, all s.p.a.ce beasts would tremble inside regardless of how powerful they were.
Even the s.p.a.ce beasts that had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt were no exception.
That was because this colossal sword was a sovereign G.o.d artifact!
On top of that, it was a complete sovereign G.o.d artifact that retained all of its might!
From afar, the sovereign G.o.d artifact seemed like a divine sword floating in s.p.a.ce, but up close, it was no sword at all, but a colossal piece of land in the shape of a sword.
From the tip of the sword to the hilt, the piece of land was almost a hundred kilometres long. It was several million kilometres wide as well. The land was expansive, criss-crossed with mountains and rivers. It was teeming with life everywhere.
Billions of mortals lived on this expansive, sword-shaped land, founding numerous mortal kingdoms there too.
There were also many cultivators above the mortals, founding numerous cultivation sects.
But without any exceptions, there was only one kind of weapon wielded by the mortals and cultivators on the sword-shaped continent—the sword!
This seemed like a world of swords!
The sword-shaped land was where one of the twelve courts of heaven of the Immortals’ World, the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, resided!
The Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords ruled over the entire land. They were a paramount existence. The billions of lives that lived here all had joining the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords as their greatest goal.
At this moment, there was a young man around twenty years old. He had a very ordinary appearance and sat on the surface of a pool of water in the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords. His eyes were firmly shut as if he was cultivating.
His name was Chen Feng, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, as well as one of the many elders of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.
Suddenly, Chen Feng opened his eyes slowly. There were mixed emotions and amazement in his eyes. After sitting there quietly for a good moment, he abruptly stood up and made his way towards a ridge in the distance.
As an elder, he could obviously move through the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords unhindered. Along the way, all of the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords he encountered clasped their fist and bowed towards him politely, looking at him enviously.
Very soon, Chen Feng arrived on the top of a mountain. Mist curled around the top, making it glow with multiple colours. It seemed like a living paradise.
An old man in white robes sat before him. He held a handkerchief woven from golden threads as he carefully wiped the sword in his hand.
“Greetings, great elder Xiong!” Chen Feng stood before the old man and said politely.
“So it’s Chen Feng. Is there more important news?” Great elder Xiong’s eyes were fixed on the sword in his hands. His elderly voice was filled with vigour.
“It’s with regards to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The sect master that appeared out of nowhere has once again suggested meeting with the seniors of the sect. This time, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has completely offended the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. You could call it a blood feud,” said Chen feng.
Great elder Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly at that. “A blood feud? Tell me in detail.”
Chen Feng sucked in a deep breath and said slowly with a stern voice, “It’s the Immortal Devouring Orchid. It killed eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and ten Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. One of these Immortal Emperors was even at the Ninth Heavenly Layer!’
“What did you say?” Great elder Xiong was startled. He finally s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from his sword, staring at Chen Feng sharply. “Are you certain? The Immortal Devouring Orchid left behind by the Star Cl.u.s.tered Ancestor in the past is really capable of something like that?”
“The sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens might not be particularly powerful, but his background is extraordinary. Since he told me personally, it must be true. However, I’m guessing that it probably wasn’t all due to the Immortal Devouring Orchid. The Immortal Devouring Orchid is probably just a cover. The person who truly took action and annihilated the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants must be someone behind Jian Chen,” said Chen Feng.
Great elder Xiong became stern. He murmured, “He’s making trouble for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Eighty-one Immortal Monarchs and ten Immortal Emperors. That’s almost a third of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ battle prowess.” Great elder Xiong’s eyes shone as he murmured, “Looks like I need to pay a visit to the Reverent Observance Heaven in person.”
“Great elder Xiong, should we discuss this with the other great elders?” Chen Feng asked carefully.
“It’s best if they don’t find out. After all, quite a few of them have quite an opinion about the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. After all, what happened in the past had far too great of an impact. Many people were left disappointed.” Great elder Xiong shook his head.
