Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3375: Divulging the Secret

Chapter 3375: Divulging the Secret

Jian Chen’s expression changed immediately when he heard what the artifact spirit said at the end.
Before the Wood Spirits truly grew in strength, he would have to stay here forever without leaving?
Jian Chen obviously understood how much the artifact spirit was referring to when it said “grow in strength”. That was producing late Grand Primes or even Ninth Heavenly Grand Primes. Only then could they be considered as truly powerful.
After all, the Wood Spirits possessed a sovereign god artifact. That was a supreme treasure that all the peak organisations in the Saints’ World desired. Without a late Grand Prime or even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime present, they were completely incapable of keeping the sovereign god artifact in their possession.
But with the Wood Spirits’ current strength, who knew how long it would take to produce even a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, let alone a late one.
How long would he have to remain in the Wood Spirits World?
“You really are planning to keep me trapped here?” Jian Chen said in a troubled manner.
“Of course!” The Source of Life’s artifact spirit raised its head rather proudly. Its figure was very faint, condensed from energy. It seemed like a youthful woman in her twenties with an extraordinary aura.
It strode through the air and directly arrived before Jian Chen, staring at him closely with its jade-green eyes. “However, you still have to tell me exactly how you entered the place where the Wood Spirits rest and why you came here.”
Before Jian Chen could answer it, the artifact spirit said, “You better not say you entered here through a coincidence. The Wood Spirits has a law set that will kill all outsiders, yet your body contains a hint of presence that belongs to the Wood Spirits. It’s exactly because of this presence that prevents you from being erased by the laws.”
“As a result, you entered the Wood Spirits World deliberately.”
When they heard that, the expressions of the Heaven Fighting Ruler and the seven newly-broken-through experts changed once again.
In the past, many of them were left in the dark, but now that the artifact spirit had exposed Jian Chen’s origins and secrets, they became even more certain that Jian Chen had an ulterior motive.
Jian Chen sighed gently and said, “I didn’t expect senior to be so sharp. Looks like it’ll be very difficult for senior to believe me if I don’t explain everything.”
“So be it. You would find out about this sooner or later. Since that’s the case, I’ll just tell you about it sooner.”
The artifact spirit said nothing and simply started at Jian Chen.
The Heaven Fighting Ruler, the Jade Heaven Ruler, and the others all listened closely too. They gathered their attention on Jian Chen.
In particular, the Jade Heaven Ruler’s gaze flickered with some eagerness, uneasiness, and some fear.
Jian Chen began his narration.
“In the Saints’ World, due to some particular reasons, I was slain by a sovereign of the Saints’ World. As a result, I was already dead by then, strictly speaking.”
“But afterwards, I was revived by another sovereign of the Saints’ World. No, he can’t be called a sovereign of the Saints’ World. He should be called a sovereign of the Spirits’ World.”
However, as soon as he reached there, the artifact spirit was surprised, interrupting Jian Chen with a cry, “What? A sovereign of the Spirits’ World? The Spirits’ World has a sovereign?”
It obviously understood what Jian Chen meant by sovereign. Despite the name varying across different aeons, they all referred to the same thing.
“That’s right. The Spirits’ World already has a sovereign, and I just happened to have some connections with this sovereign, which was why he revived me.”
“I managed to survive, but I sustained unimaginably heavy injuries. The sovereign was unable to help me with these wounds either. I could only rely on myself, so he sent me here.”
“My primary objective for coming to the Wood Spirits World is to heal.”
Jian Chen shortened everything he had experienced as well as his intentions and explained them to the artifact spirit honestly.
He had no other choice either. The artifact spirit of the Source of Life was extremely clever and extremely cautious. If he tried to hide anything any further, he might very possibly dig his own grave.
“The Spirits’ World finally has a sovereign?” The artifact spirit entered a daze. It seemed to recall the bloody battles between the assembly of races from the Spirits’ World and the experts of the Saints’ World, becoming momentarily overcome with mixed feelings.
“Peace Ruler, you said you were sent in here by a sovereign. Doesn’t that mean that sovereign has already found where our Wood Spirits World is located?” the Deadwood Heavenly King said extremely sternly.
“That’s right!” Jian Chen said.
“T-t-t-then if that sovereign happens to develop ulterior motives towards our ancestral god artifact, w-wouldn’t we be completely at his whim?” The Deadwood Heavenly King became rather pale.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Experts of that realm have their own sense of pride. Normally, they would not try and steal the treasures of juniors. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the sovereign god artifacts left behind by past sovereigns all end up in their hands? Not to mention the fact that he’s a sovereign of our Spirits’ World,” the artifact spirit was unconcerned, replying calmly.
Afterwards, it turned towards Jian Chen. “I can tell that you have a hint of a curse from a sovereign. You want to use my power to remove that curse in your body, don’t you?”
“That’s right!” Jian Che admitted without hesitation.
The artifact spirit smiled scornfully. “I’ve only just awakened. I’m nowhere close to my prime condition and my power has been greatly weakened, so I won’t be able to help you with that.”
“However, considering how many people of the Darkstar race you’ve killed, I can spare some power to help you suppress it momentarily.”
“If you want it completely removed, you better not rely on me. You better try and come up with another idea instead.”
As it said that, a tremendous amount of life energy was channeled in Jian Chen’s body, suppressing the curse back into his legs.
Afterwards, the artifact spirit shifted its attention from Jian Chen and turned towards the Chaotic Primes of the Wood Spirits.
“Come over here. Because your predecessors have all perished here, some central legacies of the Wood Spirits have already become lost. Since I’m awake now, I should pass some of them onto you.”
At the same time, an old man in a simple gown sat in the silent space outside the Wood Spirits World. His gaze remained fixed on the space before him.
That just happened to be where the Wood Spirits World stood.
However, since it was hidden extremely deeply, even passing Grand Primes would fail to notice its existence.
Not only had the old man discovered the Wood Spirits World, but he even seemed to be able to see everything that happened there.
“Neither Jian Chen nor the little juniors of the Wood Spirits have been chosen by the Source of Life. Looks like I can only give them a push,” the old man suddenly murmured. He extended his finger gently and a few strands of presence from the Source of Life appeared.
In the next moment, the presences shot through the air and immediately arrived in the Saints’ World before becoming wrapped in laws. The presence was completely sealed in by the laws, such that none of it leaked out.
Afterwards, the strands of presence from the Source of Life shot off in different directions, dissipating after crossing a tremendous distance and merging with a few laws.
On the Skyfire Plane, in the depths of the greatest peak organisation, the Fire Fiend sect, an old man in red clothes cultivated within the raging flames.
The old man was the ancestor of the Fire Fiend sect, as well as the greatest expert on the Skyfire Plane, the Poisonous Flame Ancestor.
Suddenly, the Poisonous Flame Ancestor sensed something and immediately roused from cultivation. His eyes that seemed to contain the raging flames began to shine as he tried to deduce what was going on. His expression gradually became excited.
“It’s a sign from the heavenly secrets! This presence! Hahaha! It’s a great opportunity! A great opportunity has appeared!” The Poisonous Flame Ancestor instantly vanished, having left the Skyfire Plane and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky already.
On the Star Brilliance Plane, in the Myriad Rivers sect that ranked third, the ancestor of the Myriad Rivers sect, the Ocean Convergence Elder, also roused from cultivation. He looked towards the vast cosmos and furrowed his brows. “That’s strange. I was just cultivating, so why did my heart skip a beat, making me rouse uncontrollably?”
“Don’t tell me something major to do with me is about to happen?” When he thought of that, the Ocean Convergence Elder immediately formed a seal with his hands. His soul merged with the universe as he began to peer into the heavenly secrets.
Suddenly, the Ocean Convergence Elder shuddered before immediately ravishing with joy. He cried out uncontrollably, “This presence- this presence is actually from the Wood Spirits’ Source of Life!”
After a moment of silence, the Ocean Convergence Elder suddenly laughed aloud. “Hahahaha, the Spiritsages may have the Wind Sovereign, but the two Wood Spirits who branched away from them have not returned to the Spiritsages. They don’t count as Spiritsages. And I’ve managed to find the Source of Life that does not have a master.”
“A sovereign god artifact without a master will obviously go to the one who’s destined to possess it.”
The Ocean Convergence Elder stood up. He looked off in two other directions within the Myriad Rivers sect in hesitance.
Those were where the other two Grand Prime ancestors cultivated.
“So be it. I won’t let the two of them know for now. Just me alone is enough. The Source of Life will definitely be mine.”
