Chapter 3576: Conversation

“Great elder Xiong, don’t tell me you recognise senior daemon orchid?” Jian Chen stared at great elder Xiong in surprise. He had never expected this.
“Of course I do!” Great elder Xiong fell silent for a moment. Reminiscence filled his eyes as he recalled the various things that occurred in the past before letting out a long sigh. He began to explain slowly, “In the past, I was also a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens back then was extremely powerful in the Immortals’ World. No organisations dared to provoke them. It was no exaggeration to call them the greatest organisation in the Immortals’ World.”
“That was the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ most glorious and prosperous time. Everyone took pride in joining the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
“The Sword realm was a miniature world created by the Star Clustered Ancestor. Both danger and opportunities lurked there. It was one of the miniature worlds specially prepared to train the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. I met senior daemon orchid in the Sword realm.”
“Senior daemon orchid saved my life and granted me an opportunity, so I have a very deep impression of senior daemon orchid. However, senior daemon orchid probably has no impression of me whatsoever. Back then, I was only one of the many Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that took part in the training, while senior daemon orchid was already an Immortal Emperor.”
Jian Chen, elder Nong, and Chen Shifang exchanged glances when they heard that. They were all extremely surprised.
Great elder Xiong sighed again and continued, “Afterwards, because I broke a sect rule, I was expelled by the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As a result, from that moment onwards, I had left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. In an unexpected turn of events, I then joined the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords.”
“As a result, I never saw senior daemon orchid again after that. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens then experienced numerous upheavals, and I heard that senior daemon orchid perished as well. Only today did I find out that senior daemon orchid is actually still alive.”
Gazing at how excited and emotional great elder Xiong was, elder Nong and Chen Shifang faltered multiple times. They felt extremely conflicted.
Apart from Jian Chen, only the two of them in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens knew that the Immortal Devouring Orchid was not the same one that the Star Clustered Ancestor had raised, but great elder Xiong clearly was unable to tell the difference. As such, he directly thought the Immortal Devouring Orchid raised by Jian Chen was the same as the one from the past.
The two of them wanted to tell this truth to great elder Xiong very much, just in case great elder Xiong continued to believe in this misunderstanding. However, when they saw how excited great elder Xiong was when he saw the Immortal Daemon Orchid, they were afraid that telling him the truth would devastate him and make him develop a poor impression of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
As a result, after thorough consideration, elder Nong and Chen Shifang chose to stay quiet in the end. They said nothing at all.
Jian Chen stared at great elder Xiong quietly. He knew that great elder Xiong did not have any doubts about the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s identity.
However, it did make sense. The Immortal Devouring Orchid raised by the Star Clustered Ancestor in the past had reached Immortal Emperor in the end, while the Immortal Devouring Orchid before them was also at Immortal Emperor.
Most importantly, his Immortal Devouring Orchid had emerged from the miniature world created by the Star Clustered Ancestor before all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
With how well everything matched up, no one would think that the Immortal Devouring Orchid in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now was actually foreign.
Even if the Immortal Devouring Orchid was a little different from the past, the changes could easily be attributed to some kind of mutation or evolution.
As a result, Jian Chen’s Immortal Devouring Orchid completed a perfect change of identity.
After paying his respects to the Immortal Devouring Orchid, great elder Xiong arrived in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens under Jian Chen’s invitation.
Jian Chen did not take the sect master’s throne in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Instead, he set up a great round table in the centre of the main hall. He sat down around the table with elder Nong, Chen Shifang, and great elder Xiong.
By now, great elder Xiong had already calmed down. He gave off the faint presence of an Immortal Emperor and looked at Jian Chen in a rather strange manner. “Jian Chen, it’s probably the organisation behind you that’s responsible for the eighty-one deceased Immortal Monarchs and ten dead Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, right?”
Jian Chen avoided the questions and did not give a clear answer. “With so many experts dead, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will place the blame on our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the end regardless. With the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength, we stand absolutely no chance at fending them off with the puny strength of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. They will move against the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens sooner or later.”
“You’re completely correct. The experts that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has lost this time is equivalent to a third of their sect’s entire force. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants definitely won’t just let this be given such a huge loss. And, most importantly, it’s provided the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with a very good excuse. When the time comes, even with the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s warning that prevents the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants from truly destroying the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, they can still make the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens pay a certain price with this as an excuse.” Great elder Xiong nodded.
“Great elder Xiong, I want to understand the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords’ current attitude towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. When the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens faces tremendous danger, is there the possibility that the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords will lend a hand?” Jian Chen asked.
Great elder Xiong shook his head and looked at Jian Chen like he was far too naive. “Your thoughts are very simple. I think the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has already realised just how our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords feels about you given the situation you’ve been over all these years. Think about this. If our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords truly wanted to protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, would the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens have declined to such a point?”
“After all, our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords is still one of the twelve courts of heaven. Among the twelve courts of heaven, our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords stands the strongest apart from the Daowei clan that has already left the ranks.” Great elder Xiong’s voice was filled with a strong sense of pride.
“If that’s the case, why did you make Chen Feng infiltrate the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Jian Chen asked.
Great elder Xiong sighed. “Including me, there are many people in the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords that still think about the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. We sent Chen Feng here only to use his special trait of the twin souls of heaven and earth to better understand the situation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ betrayal in the past did leave us greatly disappointed, but we must admit that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had made tremendous contributions during the war three million years ago. Even to this day, some organisations have not forgotten about it.”
“But that’s all to it. Our attitude towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens can only be considered as a form of observation at most. As for assisting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens…” Reaching there, great elder Xiong shook his head gently and did not continue.
But very soon, great elder Xiong’s gaze gradually sharpened. He stared straight at Jian Chen and said, “There is something that I’m extremely curious about. Who exactly are you and which organisation are you from? What are your objectives for coming to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”
Jian Chen smiled. He was composed as he said steadily, “Great elder Xiong, I still can’t tell you about my origins for now. I’m certain that you’ll find out about who I am before long.”
“As for my objectives for coming to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, that’s obviously to reinvigorate the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and let the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens escape from suffering.”
“You’re not reinvigorating the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. In my opinion, you clearly find that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is not in enough trouble. You’re making new trouble for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and bigger trouble as well.” Great elder Xiong’s tone gradually turned cold.
