Chapter 3525: Lost and Regained
Everything that the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor stole from elder Nong and Chen Shuzhi had returned to Jian Chen’s hand.
Apart from the resources that originally belonged to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen even received two additional Space Rings, which belonged to the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor Xiang Shan from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
Everything in the possession of the two Immortal Emperors had gone to Jian Chen.
However, with Jian Chen’s current wealth, the riches possessed by Immortal Emperors could no longer interest him, so he only roughly scanned through the items inside the two Space Rings before stowing them away.
Afterwards, Jian Chen entered Immortal Emperor Taihang’s divine hall with the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s head. He directly made his way to the highest floor and placed the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s head before Immortal Emperor Taihang’s remains.
“Senior Taihang, probably even until the final moments of your life, you never suspected your sworn brother. In reality, your sworn brother that you trusted the most, Righteous Bearing, was the ultimate reason for your exposed identity…” Jian Chen gazed at Immortal Emperor Taihang’s remains and sighed gently.
“Senior Taihang and the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that perished here, you have nothing to worry about. Before long, you’ll be able to return to the sect properly,” Jian Chen muttered to himself as he faced Immortal Emperor Taihang’s remains. In the end, he bowed deeply towards Immortal Emperor Taihang before leaving the divine hall.
Afterwards, Jian Chen took out Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong’s Space Rings. With a flip of his hand, he took out the stone golem and studied it.
“This stone golem requires five-coloured immortal crystals to unleash its full strength. Its full strength should be on the level of Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors.”
“This stone golem can be described as a sect treasure to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now…”
Afterwards, Jian Chen took out the Great Expansion Sword Formation. All he saw were the fifty low quality god artifacts hovering in the air, shining with dazzling light.
He studied the Great Expansion Sword Formation roughly before confirming that the sword formation was not particularly useful to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now.
The formation required fifty Immortal Monarchs to unleash its might.
Right now, let alone fifty Immortal Monarchs, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could not even assemble fifty Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciples.
In the end, Jian Chen took out the twenty small jade swords from the Space Ring.
These small swords served as the foundation of the Great Spatial Sword Formation.
Since the Star Clustered Ancestor left the Great Spatial Sword Formation as his ultimate trump card on the ninth floor, it was obviously worth far more than the Great Expansion Sword Formation.
But unfortunately, the Great Spatial Sword Formation was incomplete. There were only twenty of the thirty-six jade swords required to establish the formation.
“The Great Spatial Sword Formation is not complete, but with these twenty small jade swords, you can still establish a simplified version of it. It’ll just be much weaker.”
“On top of that, it’s extremely convenient to use the Great Spatial Sword Formation. The wielder doesn’t need to be particularly powerful. They only need to have enough immortal crystals to provide energy. With that, the formation will demonstrate its might.”
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has an Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. With the rate at which the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain gathers spiritual Qi, it might not be enough to sustain a complete Great Spatial Sword Formation, but it should be enough for a Great Spatial Sword Formation that’s incomplete and much weaker.”
......
…
After studying the resources in the two Space Rings, Jian Chen removed the Great Expansion Sword Formation that was useless to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He did not touch the rest that were useful to the sect.
At this moment, the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was enveloped in a stern atmosphere. All of the high-ranking disciples had learnt about what had happened behind the great bronze door. After they learned that the tremendous amount of resources that the Star Clustered Ancestor had left behind for the sect was stolen by the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor, they all felt a heavy emotional blow.
At this moment, the entire sect was clouded in a bleak cloud of sorrow. In particular, elder Nong seemed to grow even older at that moment. He felt a deep sense of self-blame and regret.
“I’m a wretch. I’m the greatest wretch the sect has ever produced.” Elder Nong shed tears as he felt both grief and fury. He was the one who had invited the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor, yet he had actually just let trouble through the doors, not only getting nothing at all, but even using up the few remaining immortal crystals through activating the sect formation.
It was truly a double loss.
Chen Shuzhi sat in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. The fury on his face had already vanished. He seemed extremely calm. Only his deep eyes constantly shone. Who knew what he was thinking.
Right as the countless disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens wallowed in the tremendous loss, the great presence of an Immortal Emperor suddenly filled the surroundings.
The presence was so powerful that it had clearly reached the peak of mid Immortal Emperor or maybe even late Immortal Emperor already.
When the presence appeared, the expressions of the Immortal Emperor ancestors of the four neighbouring organisations all changed, as the tremendous presence that enveloped the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens even gave them great pressure.
“I’ve already learnt about what Righteous Bearing did. In consideration of how closely connected I was with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens back then, I specially chased the items back. As compensation, I will be taking the Great Expansion Sword Formation. I’ll return the rest to you. Hopefully, your Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will be able to use it effectively.”
A voice filled with dignity rang out in the sky. Shortly afterwards, two Space Rings fell down and arrived on the main peak, hovering in the air.
In the next moment, a streak of light shot out from the back mountain like a meteor. Elder Nong appeared on the main peak excitedly. Shortly afterwards, Chen Shuzhi emerged from the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. He was stunned.
“Thank you, senior. Thank you for retrieving what we lost. May we ask for your great name so that we can repay you in the future?” Elder Nong immediately bowed towards the sky. He was reinvigorated as his face was filled with gratitude.
With such a tremendous amount of resources suddenly lost and regained, elder Nong found it to be all so surreal. It felt like he was dreaming.
However, the voice in the sky did not ring out again. After leaving behind the two Space Rings, the tremendous presence that filled the sky vanished silently, clearly having left already.
That was obviously Jian Chen. He used the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race to disguise himself, returning the Space Rings under a disguise before leaving the Sword Region of Violet Heavens with the Laws of Space.
During this process, he did not go out of his way to cover his tracks. Only after travelling through several immortal regions did he suddenly put on the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. He vanished from the world, leaving behind no traces at all.
Using the cover from the armour, Jian Chen returned to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens without anyone knowing, directly appearing in the young sect master’s residence.
At the same time, the soul clone he left in the young sect master’s residence immediately returned to his body. Then he emerged from the residence and rushed over to the main peak with a face filled with surprise and joy.
At this moment, elder Nong who had just checked the Space Ring stood with a face full of smiles on the main peak, while sect master Chen Shuzhi’s face was rather ugly.
That was because the Great Expansion Sword Formation in his Space Ring had vanished.
“Come, come, come. Let’s split up these Immortal Tier pills first. There’s no rush. Everyone has a share.” Elder Nong was in a great mood. He took our bottles after bottles of Immortal Tier pills from his Space Ring and split them among the core disciples.
Many disciples throughout the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were overjoyed. Only an extremely small number of other disciples had rather strange expressions.
“Who exactly was that Immortal Emperor? He actually helped the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in such an open manner. Isn’t he afraid of getting caught in some colossal webs?” Jiang Nan from the Jiang family of the Polar Jade Heaven stared in the direction of the main peak from a nearby mountain and murmured to himself.
“With the strength of our Black Demon Palace, we can only provide the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with some slight help in secret, yet this expert is so bold. Who exactly is he? He’s actually not afraid of any big trouble. However, with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ current circumstances, can they really retain such a great collection of resources that they’ve obtained so suddenly?” Jing Yao from the Black Demon Palace stood on another mountain with her eyebrows furrowed. She was slightly worried.
