Chapter 3640: Origin Force

Chapter 3640: Origin Force

Jian Chen’s eyes shone with interest. He nodded gently before extending a finger, pressing it against the jade bottle slowly. In the next moment, Chaotic Force channelled into the jade bottle through his finger as it radiated with a violent and destructive presence.

Immediately, the entire jade bottle began to shine brightly, enveloped in a hazy glow. The second layer of patterns engraved on the jade bottle also began to shine, emanating with a profound presence.

Jian Chen and Ye Qingyun shuddered inside. They were both shocked.

When the second layer of patterns was activated, both Jian Chen and Ye Qingyun seemed to see the birth of the universe, when the ways manifested and the three thousand laws wove together.

At that moment, the two of them seemed to reside within a vast space of darkness. They could see the world swell, the world being born, and the many lifeforms evolving.

“W-what exactly are the origins of this jade bottle?” Jian Chen was extremely shocked inside. Just the presence alone gave him such an intense feeling. The wonders of the bottle had already surpassed his imaginations.

Ye Qingyun was startled as well. He only knew that the jade bottle could gather Stainless Qi, but he did not know that he could even witness the birth of a universe through the jade bottle.

Treasures that were related to the birth of the universe were without a doubt impressive treasures of utmost value.

At the very least, many treasures on par with sovereign god artifacts did not have this kind of effect.

“The power of ways manifesting from the world doesn’t seem to be complete, so they can’t be used for comprehension,” Ye Qingyun said with some disappointment. He tried comprehending the laws through them, but there was only a severed path before him.

Jian Chen nodded. He also noticed that the power of the second layer of the body only presented a rudimentary form of the birth of the universe. It was still lacking compared to the real deal.

“We can’t use it for comprehension, but after activating the second layer, I can clearly sense that the jade bottle’s ability to gather Stainless Qi has become much stronger.” Ye Qingyun at least found some comfort.

At this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed and shone brightly. He stared firmly at the jade bottle, studying it. Through the second layer of patterns activated by Chaotic Force, he discovered a third layer of patterns slowly floating up.

“Hmm?” Ye Qingyun let out a gasp of surprise. Clearly, he had noticed the third layer of patterns as well, studying the jade bottle closely.

Very soon, Jian Chen sensed an extremely familiar presence from the third layer of the patterns. His eyes immediately began to flicker.

From the third layer of patterns, he sensed the presence of Xuanhuang Qi.

“Don’t tell me the third layer needs Xuanhuang Qi to activate?” Jian Chen thought, leaving him very surprised. Most of the heavenly resources with Xuanhuang Qi in his possession had already ended up with the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City. He only held onto a very small portion of higher quality heavenly resources.

“This presence… seems to be… Xuanhuang Qi. The third layer actually requires power like this. What exactly are the origins of the jade bottle?” At this moment, even Ye Qingyun, the owner of the jade bottle, was shocked.

If it required Chaotic Force for the second layer, then so be it, but it even required Xuanhuang Qi, which was far too startling.

The artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City silently appeared over their heads. It stared at the jade bottle with its eyebrows firmly locked together as if it was trying to recall something.

“It requires Chaotic Force and Xuanhuang Qi… I think I’ve heard of something like this before…” the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City murmured. It continued to try and recall what it was.

“Senior artifact spirit, why don’t you try a strand of Xuanhuang Qi?” Jian Chen raised his head at the artifact spirit. The artifact spirit had exchanged a large number of heavenly resources with Xuanhuang Qi from him. If it stripped the heavenly resources of the Xuanhuang Qi, it should have quite a lot.

Ye Qingyun also raised his head and looked at the artifact spirit. There was undisguised respect on his face as his eyes were eager.

The artifact spirit lowered its head quietly. A while later, it flicked its finger, and a strand of Xuanhuang Qi was sent into the jade bottle.

Immediately, the third layer of patterns on the jade bottle shone brightly. An even denser presence of ways emanated from the bottle.

Jian Chen and Ye Qingyun felt the ways of the world before their eyes become even clearer like the severed path before them had been extended.

However, this extension only amounted to a section. It still had not reached its final destination.

However, beneath the third layer of patterns, they saw the fourth layer.

However, neither Jian Chen nor Ye Qingyun had ever felt the presence of the fourth layer of patterns before.

At this moment, the strand of Xuanhuang Qi that the artifact spirit had sent into the jade bottle dissipated, so the fourth layer of patterns vanished. The third layer of patterns stuck to the surface of the bottle dimly.

“The fourth layer is the power of origin. Origin Force is an accompanying power that appears through a series of complex evolutions as the living beings come into existence. The chances of it appearing are extremely, extremely low…” the artifact spirit murmured. Then it fell silent for a while before saying slowly, “It requires Chaotic Force, Xuanhuang Qi, and Origin Force to power… I think I’ve heard of this object from somewhere before, but it’s been far too long, such that even I can’t recall it clearly. I only know that it’s from the same age as when I followed my master…”

“However, there is something that I can be certain about. After Origin Force, it will require many other extremely rare and special powers, so even if there is enough Xuanhuang Qi and even if you find Origin Force, that still won’t be enough.”

“Isn’t Chaotic Force the strongest? Don’t tell me the powers that come afterwards can rival Chaotic Force? Also what quality is this jade bottle? Considering how it actually needs Chaotic Force as a key,” Jian Chen said curiously.

“Chaotic Force is indeed the strongest power in the world, but what you grasp is only pseudo Chaotic Force.” The artifact spirit looked at Jian Chen and said, “Only the power created by the fusion of the sect treasures of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the Azulet swords, can be regarded as true Chaotic Force.”

Jian Chen fell silent, but he quietly communicated with the sword spirits, asking them if they knew about its origins and history.

However, only with that did he discover that the sword spirits knew even less than the artifact spirit.

The age in which the artifact spirit had been born was extremely distant. Its master was even more ancient than the Grand Exalt of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. When the Grand Exalt of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens dominated the Immortals’ World, who knew how many aeons the Observance Heaven City had already stood for. They were not from the same period of time at all.

Across different aeons, a lot of information would definitely be lost, and many ancient records would be eroded away by time. Probably only one-in-ten-thousandth of everything managed to survive in the end.

When it came to some matters, even Grand Exalts might not be able to recover the information when they merged their souls with the world and ways.

“Artifact spirit, could you tell me what the names of the other powers that the jade bottle requires afterwards are?” Ye Qingyun looked at the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City. He showed respect, as well as great desire and anticipation. “I am aware that I might not necessarily be able to collect these powers in my life, but I did obtain this jade bottle through luck after all. I only want to understand what it is.”

“Even I can’t recall what the later powers are. It’s been far too long after all. Even to me, many of my memories from back then have gradually blurred.” The artifact spirit locked its brows in thought as if it was still trying to recall its memories. Shortly afterwards, it seemed to finally remember something. A streak of strange light flashed through its eyes as it said to Jian Chen, “I seem… to have remembered something regarding the previous lives of the sword spirits…”

Only Jian Chen and the sword spirits could hear that. Ye Qingyun sensed nothing at all.
