Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2509 - A Happy Pair

Chapter 2509: A Happy Pair
The powerful barrier remained erected over the Cloudmoon Peak, concealing everything happening in there from the regular disciples of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.
Jian Chen, Shangguan Mu’er, Deng Wenxin, and the Wind Ancestor stood in the air within the barrier. The atmosphere was no longer as nervous before, where battle could break out at any moment. It clearly seemed very peaceful.
The Wind Ancestor looked at Shangguan Mu’er gently. Her gaze contained a sliver of mixed emotions.
She thought of her talented, clever junior who had pushed the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound to a glorious peak alone.
Shangguan Mu’er’s talent was extraordinary. She had only come to the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound recently, yet she had already reached peak Godking. She even possessed the power to harm Infinite Primes, and she was the only successor of her junior.
The Wind Ancestor became absent-minded over this. It was as if she was witnessing her junior during her growth again. Shangguan Mu’er was a splitting image of what her junior went through as she matured.
“Mu’er, the responsibility for all that you went through during these years in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound is on me. It’s all because I spent all of my time in seclusion and rarely paid attention to the matters of the sect that this happened. May I ask if you’ve ever resented the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound?” The Wind Ancestor asked softly. Due to the Zither of the Demonic Cry, she treated Shangguan Mu’er just like her junior.
She and her junior, the Third Ancestor, were extremely close, just like sisters. The death of the Third Ancestor had filled her with grief and sorrow as well.
Now that so many years had passed, and her junior’s only successor had appeared, conjuring up an image of the past Third Ancestor, the Wind Ancestor treated Shangguan Mu’er differently.
Shangguan Mu’er shook her head and replied, “The Daoist Sect of Divine Sound has remade me. I don’t want personal grievances to affect the entire sect.”
Originally, Shangguan Mu’er had completely given up on the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, but the Wind Ancestor’s behaviour had lit up a sliver of hope in her.
After all, Lian Qi was not the one in charge of the sect. The Wind Ancestor was the person truly in control.
“As long as you think like that, I don’t have to worry.” The Wind Ancestor smiled as if all her worries had finally vanished.
At this moment, the Wind Ancestor became serious and continued, “Mu’er, matters about you have already spread across the Saints’ World. Your identity as the successor of the Third Ancestor has raised the attention of many peak sects in the Saints’ World. Even a few archean clans have become interested, so the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound really isn’t an appropriate place for you to stay in.”
“The sect is just far too puny in the eyes of those peak organisations or even archean clans. It’s very difficult for the sect to protect you, so you can leave the sect temporarily, but you can’t break away from the sect.”
Afterwards, the Wind Ancestor looked at Jian Chen and said, “Jian Chen, I’ll leave Mu’er to you now. I believe that you can protect her well…”
“Senior, don’t worry. I will definitely protect Mu’er. Even if archean clans become interested in her, I won’t let anything happen to her,” Jian Chen swore. He still had a lot of merit with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, so he could directly send her there if worst came to worst.
The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng had the first majesty, so even the archean clans would not turn on the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng over a small matter like this.
Besides, Jian Chen could sense the Wind Ancestor’s treatment of Shangguan Mu’er from what she said. It was sincere concern, which changed his impression of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound slightly.
After the Wind Ancestor’s stern warning, Jian Chen clasped his fist and bid farewell before leaving the sect with Shangguan Mu’er.
Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er held hands as they flew steadily in the air. They directly approached a nearby interplanar teleportation formation.
Jian Chen faced the wind as the landscape below him receded rapidly. He looked at the beauty beside him as he felt calmer than he had ever felt in the past.
After they separated on the Cloud Plane, many years had passed before he finally arrived on the Skyfire Plane through his own strength, fetching Shangguan Mu’er from the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.
It was like removing something that weighed on his heart, which made him feel at great ease. He felt like a missing part of his mind had been filled up, making him gradually feel complete again.
Suddenly, Jian Chen’s soul shuddered. At that moment, a sliver of understanding suddenly appeared in mind like a flash of an idea, allowing him to grasp something immediately.
Afterwards, Jian Chen’s soul rapidly swelled and strengthened. His comprehension of the Way of the Sword rapidly deepened as well.
“Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal. What is immortal? Immortal is freedom and liberation. Immortal is also the world, this universe…” Jian Chen understood. In that instant, his Way of the Sword grew. Even though he did not break through, he had reached the peak of the minor achievement of Sword Immortal. He was only a step away from the partial achievement of Sword Immortal now.
Reuniting with Shangguan Mu’er and fetching her was a simple matter, but it had filled up a hole in Jian Chen’s heart, allowing him to make a small breakthrough.
Now, his comprehension of the Way of the Sword was even deeper, having surpassed what he possessed when he fought Lian Qi in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. He was extremely close to the partial achievement of Sword Immortal now.
“It’s just a pity that I’m a step off. If I could reach the partial achievement of Sword Immortal, I wonder if I’ll be able to make progress with my Chaotic Body again.” Jian Chen felt a slight tinge of pity.
He was currently at the fourteenth layer of the Chaotic Body. He was very eager for the battle prowess of the fifteenth layer.
Unfortunately, he did not reach the partial achievement of Sword Immortal in the end. Restrained by his comprehension, he would not be able to break through with the Chaotic Body.
“Jian Chen, you’ve broken through again?” Shangguan Mu’er sensed Jian Chen’s abnormality.
“I’ve made some progress.” Jian Chen nodded. It could be considered as instantaneous comprehension this time, completed in a single moment. It did not take up any time at all.
“Mu’er, let’s return to the Cloud Plane, to the Tian Yuan clan. That’s where our first home in the Saints’ World stands,” Jian Chen held her hand and said softly.
Shangguan Mu’er nodded. Jian Chen had single-handedly created the Tian Yuan clan in the Dong’an province, so she also held special feelings towards the Tian Yuan clan.
This feeling was the feeling of home.
At the same time, a sense of belonging.
“Yeah. Let’s go home,” Shangguan Mu’er said gently.
Within the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, Lian Qi stood on a mountain as his eyes shone with a stunning light. He stared right outside the sect. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through space, allowing him to see Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er clearly.
“You killed my disciple. Jian Chen, this debt definitely won’t just end here,” Lian Qi said through gritted teeth. His face was extremely sunken and killing intent filled his eyes.
