Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2224

It had already been some time since he left planet Tianming. The news that the Anatta Tower was on him had probably been leaked by now.

As a peak god artifact, the Anatta Tower’s value was enough to drive countless peak experts mad even if it was still damaged. What happened on planet Tianming was the best example.

As a result, when Jian Chen heard that Mo Tianyun wanted to strike a deal with him, he subconsciously thought of the Anatta Tower.

Apart from the Anatta Tower, he could not think of anything else he possessed that could catch Mo Tianyun’s attention.

“Senior, has the Anatta Tower caught your eye?” Jian Chen asked. The value of the Anatta Tower was far greater than a single puresoul. If Mo Tianyun really did want the Anatta Tower, what was he supposed to do?

Seeing how stern Jian Chen had become, Mo Tianyun could not help but smile bitterly, “The Anatta Tower is an object of desire. It’s not something that anyone can try to possess. If Yi Xin of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng decides to look into this matter, there’s basically no one who can maintain possession over it. What I want is for you to take action once.”

“You want me to take action?” Jian Chen was surprised by that. His expression became strange, and he said, “Senior Mo Tianyun, I might not be able to provide you with any assistance at all with my current strength.”

Mo Tianyun shook his head gently, “Never underestimate yourself. You have the sword spirits. Even if your current strength is very weak, even if the sword spirits have not recovered to their peak condition, fusing the two swords can still unleash startling power.”

Mo Tianyun stared at Jian Chen sternly, “And I happen to need you to use the two swords once.”

“No! Master, don’t agree to it!”

“Master, you must not! The backlash from fusing the two swords is so powerful that you should never do it unless you’ve run out of choices!”

Before Jian Chen could say anything, Zi Ying and Qing Suo objected. To the two sword spirits, the fusion of the twin swords had long since become a forbidden technique that they should never touch unless they were completely out of options.

This was because even their master who was a Grand Exalt died to the fusion of the twin swords in the end, so it was even more impossible for Jian Chen to survive.

Jian Chen remained calm. He looked at Mo Tianyun and said, “Senior Mo Tianyun, can you tell me the reason? Why do you need me to fuse the two swords?”

Mo Tianyun sighed gently. He stood up from his seat and stood in the overgrown grass around the cliff. He stared at the shining moon in the sky and said, “It’s fine if I tell you. What you are seeing right now is actually one of my nine major clones. My original body has been trapped in a powerful formation by an enemy.”

“The formation is tough, but it can’t keep me trapped forever. In just several tens of thousand years, I’ll be able to break free with my strength alone.”

“But recently, something happened on the Cloud Plane. Xiao Ling was taken away by the Heavenless Demon Exalt of the Tian Empire. The Heavenless Demon Exalt is a demonic cultivator, so Xiao Ling is in constant danger. As a result, my original body has to break free immediately.”

“What? Xiao Ling has been captured?” Jian Chen’s face changed drastically. Suddenly, he stood up, and his gaze became extremely sharp. Killing intent rose up in his heart.

He treated Xiao Ling as his own younger sister. He would never allow anything to happen to her.

“Senior Mo Tianyun, what cultivation does this Heavenless Demon Exalt possess?” Jian Chen asked gruffly with an ugly expression.

“He has just become a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. He’s not much weaker compared to the Azure Peng King who has been hunting you,” said Mo Tianyun.

Jian Chen’s heart sank when he learnt of the Heavenless Demon Exalt’s strength. He felt powerless. A Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime was an insurmountable existence in his eyes.

“You don’t need to worry. As long as my original body breaks free, the Heavenless Demon Exalt is no issue,” said Mo Tianyun. He spoke indifferently like he did not take the Heavenless Demon Exalt seriously at all.

“If that’s the case, let’s go right now. I’ll fuse the twin swords and assist you in destroying the seal,” Jian Chen said without any hesitation. He was panic-stricken, extremely worried about Xiao Ling’s safety.

“Master, the fusion is far too dangerous…”

“Master, you can’t act recklessly…”

The sword spirits continually tried to persuade Jian Chen. In their eyes, Jian Chen had no need to fuse the twin swords at all over this. The price was just not worth it.

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, you don’t have to say anything more. As long as I can save Xiao Ling, I don’t mind no matter how great the price is,” Jian Chen said firmly.

“You don’t need to worry too much. The fusion of the twin swords isn’t necessarily a bad thing to Jian Chen. Jian Chen cultivates the Chaotic Body, but according to my knowledge of Chaotic Force, even if he reaches the peak of Great Perfection, it still will not be the real deal. That power that split the heavens from the earth that appears when the swords fuse is true Chaotic Force.”

“The previous master of the twin swords died during the fusion because he never cultivated the Chaotic Body. He was unable to endure the impact of the Chaotic Force, but Jian Chen is completely different. If he fuses the twin swords, he can sense what true Chaotic Force is like,” Mo Tianyun said to the sword spirits.

The sword spirits immediately fell silent after that. They knew Mo Tianyun was right.

Then Mo Tianyun looked at Jian Chen and said, “I need to properly prepare before destroying the seal. There are some secrets that only the two of us know, and it should remain like that. Wait for me. I’ll come back for you in three days.”

Jian Chen nodded. Naturally, he understood what Mo Tianyun was referring to. It was the problem of their identity. Once their identity of being from the Immortals’ World was exposed, they would no longer be able to remain in the Saints’ World.

Afterwards, Mo Tianyun left. He left just like how he had come, silently and without leaving a single trace.

Jian Chen was in no mood to cultivate anymore. Xiao Ling had been captured, ending up in the hands of a demonic cultivator. No one knew how she was right now. Jian Chen became unsettled and unable to sit still, worrying for Xiao Ling very much.

“What is Ming Dong doing? Hasn’t he left for the Cloud Plane long ago? How did Xiao Ling end up being captured?” Jian Chen grumbled inside. At that moment, he even considered handing the Anatta Tower to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng immediately so that he could ask the first majesty to assist him. However, after thinking it over several times, he found that Mo Tianyun would be slightly more reliable.

After all, Mo Tianyun was the same as him. He was someone who truly cared for Xiao Ling.

In the following three days, Jian Chen truly understood how days could feel like years. During those three days, he was in no mood to cultivate at all. Whenever he saw Han Xin in the morning every day, he seemed like he was absent-minded the entire time.
