Chapter 3388: Great Completion of Sword Immortal (1)

After all, no cultivator could resist the temptation of increasing their strength and striving towards higher realms.

The experts of the Wood Spirits were no different. The temptation of mid Chaotic Prime, late Chaotic Prime, or even Grand Prime was far too captivating to them.

“But we’ve already left the Spiritsages for too long. M-moreover there’s been some unpleasant matters that happened during the first ancestor’s era. Will the Spiritsages accept us after all that has happened?” The Deadwood Heavenly King voiced his worries.

“Don’t worry, the Spiritsages aren’t that narrow-minded. You’re still a part of the Spirits’ World after all. They will accept you.” Jian Chen guaranteed it.

Several hours later, the experts gathered there left the Divine Palace of Peace with mixed emotions. They had a great deal of matters to tend to next. Not only did they have to spread this news across the Wood Spirits World, but they even had to deal with their various possessions and businesses in this world.

Under Jian Chen’s arrangements, the Jade Heaven Ruler also formally accepted Bai Yurou as her disciple. With her protection, at least no one from the Wood Spirits would still try to offend Bai Yurou or the people of the White Emperor’s branch.

Jian Chen planned on letting Bai Yurou deal with her grievance with the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King and ancestor Zong herself.

All he could do was find a shelter for her before she had completely matured.

Everyone else left as well. In the end, only the ancestor of the Yongxi clan, Yongxi Lantian, was told to stay behind by Jian Chen.

“Yongxi Lantian, you seem to be extremely unwilling to accept this.” Jian Chen arrived before him. His sharp gaze made Yongxi Lantian lower his head subconsciously, afraid to meet his eyes.

“Peace Ruler, you may have assisted me in reaching Chaotic Prime and have shown me great kindness, but it can never compare to the ancestral god artifact. The ancestral god artifact should have been mine. It should have been a great opportunity belonging to me, but you stole it in the end, so of course, I’d resent you,” Yongxi Lantian said with his head lowered.

“Looks like you still refuse to come to your senses and understand what really happened.” Jian Chen shook his head. He could not be bothered with wasting words on a stubborn old man like Yongxi Lantian. He directly called for the artifact spirit of the Source of Life.

Boom!

However, as soon as the artifact spirit of the Source of Life appeared, a great energy burst forth. It directly suppressed Yongxi Lantian without saying anything at all, conjuring an illusionary mountain with energy and pressing him firmly against the ground.

Blood sprayed out from Yongxi Lantian’s mouth. He lay on the hard ground with his limbs outstretched, suppressed to the point where he could not even budge a finger.

“Old man, with such inferior talent, you’re still dreaming about becoming my master?” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life appeared as a young woman around the age of twenty. She was charming and gave off a sense of undisguised arrogance.

She gazed down at Yongxi Lantian from above with her hands on her hips. She spoke with a mocking tone, “Pah! Why don’t you have a good look at yourself first. Just the likes of you wants to become my master?”

“Let alone your inferior talent, even that little girl Jade Heaven who exceeded you in every single aspect isn’t enough to raise my attention.”

Yongxi Lantian’s face had already become purple. He still refused to give up. “B-but in the small world, y-y-you clearly chose me at the end.”

“You idiot, do you still not understand? I ran out of options. I had to rely on your power to take the Wood Spirits away to preserve the bloodline of the Wood Spirits. I’m still just an object after all. There are many things that I can’t complete myself. Even if I recognised you as my master then, I’d still be able to leave you after we were out of danger.”

“You’re all too weak after all. Even your cultivation method has to come from me. If I wanted to leave you, none of you could stop me.”

“Let alone you, even Jian Chen can’t tie me down. If I want to leave, he can’t stop me either.” When it mentioned this, the artifact spirit of the Source of Life was filled with pride.

However, it soon seemed to remember something and immediately became aggrieved, pouting. “However, he has the support of a Saint. I have an agreement with that Saint, so I can’t leave him until the time is up.”

......

…

Jian Chen did not pay attention to what unfolded between the Source of Life and Yongxi Lantian. Instead, he directly arrived in the secret room built deep underground in the Divine Palace of Peace to cultivate.

In the gloomy secret room, Jian Chen sat with his legs crossed as a sword-shaped jade talisman the size of a thumb hovered in his hand. It gave off an aura of antiquity.

He had obtained the sword-shaped jade talisman from the ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan after leaving the Darkstar race. It was the imprint of the Way of the Sword that contained an expert of the Way of the Sword’s comprehension.

Now, his Way of the Sword had already reached the major achievement of Sword Immortal, and he had reached the end of his current path. He was only a step away from the great completion of Sword Immortal.

“I’m about to leave the Wood Spirits’ World, while the Saints’ World is no longer a place I can stay in for long. After all, my true identity has already been exposed.”

“Even though I no longer exist according to everyone’s memories, I’ll face the pursuit of a great gang of late Grand Primes as soon as I show myself in the Saints’ World again. As a result, I need to venture to the Immortals’ World as quickly as possible once I leave here.”

“Before I go to the Immortals’ World, I need to increase my strength as much as possible,” Jian Chen murmured softly as he planned ahead. However, as he said that, he could not help but recall the Anatta Grand Exalt’s figure, which immediately sent him into a daze.

On one hand was the cold sovereign of the Saints’ World.

And on the other side was the wife that had spent every single day by his side in the century-long dream, Zhen.

The two figures of vastly different personalities crossed together in his head, which immediately left Jian Chen with extremely mixed emotions.

“Zhen, when you see me again, will you try and kill me a second time?” Jian Chen murmured. He felt a heart-wrenching pain.

He sat in the gloomy secret room for a very long time before finally dismissing his thoughts and gathering his focus, beginning to comprehend the imprint of the Way of the Sword.

Immediately, the sword-shaped jade talisman shone brightly. Powerful Laws of the Sword permeated from it, filling the entire secret room.

Not only were the Laws of the Sword powerful, but they were at an extremely high level too. They had been left behind by a mid Grand Prime at the very least.

Of course, it had existed for far too long, leading to a large loss of the Laws of the Sword in there, but the remaining amount was still of great assistance to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s mind had already entered the sword-shaped jade talisman. He was completely submerged in comprehending the Way of the Sword.
