Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3419: The Two Secret Techniques

Chapter 3419: The Two Secret Techniques

“Father is already a Godking now. As for mother, it won’t be too much of a problem for her to reach Godhood at the very least with the full support of the Radiant Saint Hall. Once she reaches Godhood, she’ll be completely free from the restraints of lifespan and be able to thrive with the world.” Jian Chen smiled faintly. Everything developed in a fantastic direction. The situation of his parents had become his greatest source of comfort.
The reason why his father Changyang Ba could reach Godking in such a short time was obviously due to high grade Godking pills.
When he learnt Changyang Ba had come to the Saints’ World from the Wind Venerable, he immediately took out some high grade Godking pills and asked the Wind Venerable to pass them onto Changyang Ba and the others.
Of course, the Wind Venerable did not divulge the secret that Jian Chen was still alive to them. Even his parents were not an exception.
Afterwards, Jian Chen continued his secluded cultivation on the Martial Soul Mountain, but he did not comprehend the Laws of the Hallowed anymore. Instead, he appeared at the Martial Soul Mountain’s land of legacies.
The place of legacies recorded many secret techniques of Martial Soul Force. These secret techniques were left behind by their predecessors, amounting to a number great enough to dazzle his eyes.
The number of secret techniques involving Martial Soul Force that Jian Chen had grasped so far was still too little, so he planned on practising some of them here next.
“Many of the secret techniques are connected to the soul. However, I have the Profound Sword Qi, so I don’t really need any secret techniques that specially harm the soul.”
“Of course, what’s most important is with my Laws of the Hallowed at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime, no matter how impressive the secret technique is, it’ll struggle to threaten Chaotic Primes. It’s nowhere near as great as my Laws of the Sword and Laws of Space.”
“As a result, I don’t need to choose any offensive secret techniques this time. I should focus on auxiliary secret techniques.”
Jian Chen browsed through the secret techniques available carefully. He could not help but admit that every single secret technique left behind by the predecessors of the Martial Soul lineage was anything but simple. They all possessed unique abilities. As a matter of fact, some of the secret techniques were so wondrous and powerful that they even left Jian Chen shocked.
Unfortunately, due to his level of mastery over the Laws of the Hallowed, many of the secret techniques were unsuitable for Jian Chen. Even if he grasped them, they would be almost useless.
With his Laws of the Hallowed at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime, even if he grasped these secret techniques, so what if he could skip four or five minor realms of cultivation and kill early Chaotic Primes?
With his Laws of the Sword and Laws of the Space, he could even kill late Chaotic Primes with ease, let alone early Chaotic Primes.
Aside from that, these powerful secret techniques were riddled with difficulty when it came to comprehension because they were far too profound and mysterious. Even Jian Chen did not have any confidence in gaining a basic grasp over them in a few centuries’ time.
Compared to spending all that time to grasp these secret techniques that would not increase his battle prowess by much and were basically useless to him, he was better off learning some secret techniques of more practical use.
It was not that these secret techniques were not powerful, but Jian Chen’s Laws of the Sword and Laws of Space were too far ahead compared to his Laws of the Hallowed.
“The Soul-viewing technique allows you to see the lingering wills of perished experts and even communicate with them?” Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes lit up with a hint of disbelief.
Jian Chen was not unfamiliar with lingering wills because he had seen his fair share of cases, like the lingering will of the star beast from the Darkstar World and the many lingering wills inside the Source of Life.
But in the Saints’ World, only supreme experts had a certain chance at forming lingering wills after perishing. Unless there were special environments or external factors, it was very difficult for weaker cultivators to leave behind lingering wills.
In short, within the constant battles and feuds of the Saints’ World, many people perished every day, but only a tiny fraction of them left behind lingering wills.
But after learning about the Soul-viewing technique in detail, Jian Chen learnt that it was not just experts who left behind lingering wills after dying. Instead, all cultivators, regardless of strength, would leave behind lingering wills to a certain degree due to the various feelings they experienced before they perished as long as they did not leave the world peacefully.
However, because these lingering wills were not powerful, they were completely hidden in the space there, mixed in with the various energies and substances in the surroundings. As such, even sovereigns of the world who had comprehended ways to the limit were unable to find them.
However, the Soul-viewing technique allowed the user to see the lingering wills hiding in the space around them.
And even more impressively, the Soul-viewing technique could even establish a mental connection with these lingering wills for communication.
“The Soul-viewing technique is indeed an extremely useful secret technique.” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. Throughout the world, people died endlessly. After all, in almost everyone’s eyes, only dead people could keep secrets forever.
But before the Soul-viewing technique, all attempts at silencing people with death would become useless.
Even if they were already dead, he could still communicate with the lingering wills of the dead through the Soul-viewing technique and learn the truth.
“However, there are some conditions to using the Soul-viewing technique. It needs to be carried out at where the person died because lingering wills will only reside in the space within a certain range from where they perished.”
“And, these lingering wills won’t last forever. They’ll slowly dissipate with the passage of time. As a result, if they’ve been dead for too long, their lingering wills will disperse, and it’ll be useless even if you use the Soul-viewing technique.”
“Hmm? The Soul-gathering technique? Once cultivators perish, you can actually gather their lingering soul that scattered in the surroundings back together and send it into rebirth?” Jian Chen’s eyes shone brightly. This was also an impressive secret technique, virtually equivalent to reviving the dead.
That was because under normal circumstances, the soul would completely return to the world after being killed, completely erasing any possibilities of rebirth and starting over.
However, the Soul-gathering technique completely changed this. It could give those who had already died another life.
However, as soon as they entered rebirth, they would lose all of their past memories and start over with everything. Even whether they could reawaken their memories in the future was difficult to say.
Jian Chen immediately developed a deep interest towards these two secret techniques and began cultivating them in the place of legacies.
It was not like he could go anywhere right now. As soon as he left Martial Soul Mountain, he would face the risk of being exposed. As a result, he could only cultivate in the Martial Soul Mountain, a secret place that even Grand Exalts could not look into.
In the blink of an eye, another four hundred years passed. Everything in the Saints’ World remained peaceful. The Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World had not attacked either.
After those four hundred years, Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes as he sat on the ground. He smiled gently.
“The Soul-viewing technique and Soul-gathering technique are actually even more difficult to practise than I imagined they would be. It actually took me four hundred years before I completely grasped them.” Jian Chen exhaled the air built up in him and slowly stood up from the ground, leaving the place where he had spent many years in secluded cultivation.
In the next moment, he appeared on the outer layer of the Martial Soul Mountain, which was the region of rock.
As soon as he appeared there, the Wind Venerable appeared silently.
“You’ve finally emerged.” The Wind Venerable looked at Jian Chen and smiled gently. “I’ve brought you a piece of good news this time. Your mother Bi Yuntian has already reached Godhood under the Radiant Saint Hall’s full support.”
“Of course, the Tian Yuan clan you founded delivered many precious resources as well.”
“Mother has already become a Deity?” Jian Chen smiled freely when he heard that. Going from the Origin realm to Godhood was a great obstacle to both cultivators and Radiant Saint Masters. Once they overcame it, it would lead to a qualitative change and progression, freeing them from the limitations of lifespan.
“Your mother’s talent isn’t as poor as you imagined it to be. It’s expected that she could reach Godhood. However, the full support from the Radiant Saint Hall and the Tian Yuan clan allowed her to make this breakthrough much sooner.” The Wind Venerable smiled. Because of Jian Chen, he constantly kept an eye out for some of Jian Chen’s relatives as well.
After a moment of thought, Jian Chen said sternly, “Senior Feng, could you help me out?”
“Tell me. What do you need my help with?” the Wind Venerable asked.
Jian Chen pinched his fingers and a strand of sword Qi immediately materialised, turning into a sword-shaped imprint. “This imprint contains a message from me. I hope you can hand it over to the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance. The artifact spirit will learn that I’m still alive, but he definitely won’t sell me out.”
The Wind Venerable glanced past the sword-shaped imprint. His eyes narrowed slightly. “You want the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance to give a protector sword to your mother?”
“Jian Chen, the protector sword will greatly strengthen your mother, but inheriting a protector sword comes with its own series of karma. It’s difficult to tell whether it’s a curse or a blessing. Are you really going to do this?”
