Chapter 3515: Opening the Space (1)

Jian Chen did not receive the special formation that elder Nong taught everyone. Perhaps because he was the young sect master, elder Nong had no plans on making him do something so arduous.

As all the core disciples comprehended the formation arduously, Jian Chen remained with Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui, gathered in the main hall of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens.

“Sect master, you need to make the hall spirits of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens keep a close watch on these core disciples, just in case they pass any information onto the outside world,” elder Nong said cautiously to Chen Shuzhi.

“Elder Nong, don’t you trust them?” Chen Shuzhi was stern.

“There’s nothing wrong with being a little cautious. Some of them probably aren’t as simple as they seem to be on the surface.”

“Looks like you’re planning on opening the secret space left behind by the Star Clustered Ancestor. The formations you just taught them must have been a critical key to opening the secret space.” Chen Shuzhi stared at Nong Fugui with interest and asked, “May I ask if elder Nong managed to find an Immortal Emperor skilled in the Laws of Space?”

Elder Nong nodded. “I’ve already found someone for a third of everything we find in the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space. As long as we’re ready, this senior can come at any time.”

“Is this senior reliable?” Chen Shuzhi asked.

“Apart from him, I really can’t think of anyone else. Of course, we have to prepare for the worst, so when the time comes, we need to make some other arrangements. We have to show off the existence of the Immortal-destroying Thunder slightly, and we have to mention the young sect master’s master. In short, we need to make full use of our advantages to strike fear into him, just in case he decides to consider doing something else.” Nong Fugui looked at Jian Chen and said, “Young sect master, do you have any objections to us mentioning your master?”

“Go ahead, elder Nong. I have no objections as long as my master doesn’t have to do anything, much less appear. I’m sure you understand this, elder Nong.” Jian Chen shook his head. However, he sighed inside. Inviting an outsider Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor at such a great cost actually made the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens so unsettled and uneasy, even having to act carefully around him. That filled him with a sense of helplessness.

During the next period, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was quiet. Even though all the core disciples had temporarily vanished, that did not raise the attention of too many disciples. The auxiliaries they recruited externally anticipated such peaceful days quite a lot too.

During this time, the fact that the Immortal Sect of Three Yang had lost two great elders was kept a close secret. However, the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, the High Yang Master, was very active. He consulted the Immortal Emperor ancestors from the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset, and the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes multiple times.

At this moment, four figures levitated in the air in seated positions in the forbidden grounds behind the Immortal Sect of Sword Control. They gave off the tremendous presence of Immortal Emperors.

The four of them were the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset, the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, and the Immortal Sect of Three Yang.

“I’ve already confirmed with certainty that the two great elders of my Immortal Sect of Three Yang are already dead. I’ve yet to find out about the person behind it,” the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang said sternly.

“During all these years that we targeted the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, we’ve yet to encounter a situation where Immortal Monarchs have perished, yet two of them have died all of a sudden. At the same time, the two of them died when they were on their way to punish Nong Fugui. Someone is clearly protecting him,” said the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes.

The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes was a mature woman of charms and curves. Every action she made was very seductive. Those without mental fortitude could fall to her charms extremely easily and become manipulated by her.

She was the only Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes. She was not in secluded cultivation for a breakthrough. The earlier news was merely an excuse to further oppress the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has gained a young sect master recently. His name is Jian Chen. Not only is his strength exceptional, but he even possesses an Immortal-destroying Thunder that can threaten Immortal Emperors. He must be of significant origins. Do you think the person who killed the two great elders of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang is connected to the organisation behind Jian Chen?” the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control asked sternly.

When they heard that, the three other ancestors fell silent. After quite a while, the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset said, “It looks like we need to further oppress the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. If the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens really does have the support of a mysterious organisation, then we need to try everything we can to make them show themselves. Is there any news from above?”

“There has been no response from above, but it’s not like we don’t understand their intentions. Unless the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens truly receives powerful external support, those up above won’t take action. Those up above are even less concerned with the two great elders lost this time,” said the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang. His face was rather sunken. Losing two Immortal Monarchs this time made him bleed inside.

At this moment, another Immortal Emperor arrived with a flash, appearing before the four ancestors silently.

“Fellow Lei Ba, you’re finally here!”

When they saw who it was, the four ancestors all stood up and bowed with their hands cupped. They were extremely polite.

The fifth Immortal Emperor was the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Lei Ba, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

The ancestors of the four organisations were all early Immortal Emperors, so Lei Ba’s arrival immediately caused them great pressure.

“If you want to further oppress the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you need to find a way to eliminate the Immortal-destroying Thunder. The Immortal-destroying Thunder’s power is nothing but extraordinary,” Lei Ba said sternly.

“Fellow Lei Ba, you had close contact with the Immortal-destroying Thunder back then. What was the exact strength of the Immortal-destroying Thunder?”

As he recalled what had happened back then, Lei Ba gradually became stern. “That’s an Immortal-destroying Thunder forged from the tribulation lightning of an Immortal Exalt. It even makes me jump. As a result, the Immortal-destroying Thunder is definitely capable of threatening mid Immortal Emperors. As for early Immortal Emperors, they probably stand no chance at all.”

“This is only my conservative estimate too. After all, I only sensed its presence. I can only know its true power after it is detonated. However, there is something that is clear. If the Immortal-destroying Thunder exploded in any of your sects, it would instantly annihilate your entire sect.”

The expressions of the four ancestors all changed when they heard that.

“Inform those above about the Immortal-destroying Thunder. It’s best if we can get the people above to take action to investigate who exactly Jian Chen’s master is. That person actually gave such a precious Immortal-destroying Thunder to a mere Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. His cultivation is probably extremely impressive, far beyond what us Immortal Emperors can fathom.”

Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes in the young sect master’s residence within the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He smiled mysteriously. “You want to investigate my master…”

......

…

In the blink of an eye, three months had already passed. After several months of comprehension, the core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had completely grasped the secret formation that elder Nong had taught them.

On this day, elder Nong gathered all of the core disciples on the main peak. Chen Shuzhi and Jian Chen were present too.

The entire main peak was enveloped in a formation. It could not stop experts, but it could shield them from the eyes of the other disciples in the sect and the auxiliaries.

That was because only core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possessed the right to know what would happen next.

In front of all the core disciples, elder Nong slowly crushed the jade slip that the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor had handed to him.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was located extremely far away from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Several immortal regions separated them. Even with elder Nong’s speed, it took him several days to cover this distance.

However, not only was the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, but he had also grasped the Laws of Space, so he was obviously extremely fast.

As a result, soon after elder Nong had crushed the jade slip, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor silently appeared in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

He was dressed in flowing white clothes and had a gentle and scholarly bearing. Behind him, he held a book in one hand. He seemed to be extremely easygoing. Even as he faced a group of immortals far weaker than him, there was not a single hint of arrogance from the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor.

“Greetings, senior!”

Elder Nong immediately led the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to bow to the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor.

“Are you ready?” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor looked at Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong and said softly.

However, as soon as he said that, he suddenly frowned and said gently, “You’re actually spying on me? Don’t you know any manners?” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor suddenly swung out with his hand that held the book. The book shone with dazzling light and radiated with the profound power of ways that merged with the space there, gradually warping the surroundings of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

Instantly, the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was enveloped by a powerful spatial barrier.

After doing all that, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor looked at Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui again. He said sympathetically, “Your Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has become so miserable. The four Immortal Emperors in the surroundings can easily envelope your entire sect with the senses of their soul. As long as they want to, they can constantly observe everything that you do.”

“If we could use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would be abundant with spiritual Qi, and we’d obviously be able to protect ourselves with the sect formation. However, our spiritual Qi is extremely lacking right now. The sect formation has basically been reduced to a mere symbolic gesture,” Nong Fugui said wryly.

“These are extraordinary circumstances. We can’t afford to be conservative. Elder Nong, let’s use all of our resources and activate the formation,” said Chen Shuzhi.

Very soon, the protective formation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens began to operate at full strength, erupting with power that could stop Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors.

That was virtually the limits of the protective formation.

The immortal crystals that powered the formation were all a part of Jian Chen’s previous donation to the sect.
