Chapter 3451: The Starfall Mountains

The Grand Sovereign Heaven spanned an extremely large area; this expansive area was dotted with many immortal regions of various sizes.

The Immortal Region of Green Plains was only a tiny corner of the entire Grand Sovereign Heaven. It definitely did not rank towards the top, but it did not exactly rank towards the bottom either.

That was because the Immortal Region of Green Plains had three organisations, the Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of Yuqing, and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds!

These three organisations all had Immortal Emperors, which were equivalent to Chaotic Primes in the Saints’ World.

The Immortal Region of Green Plains had an extremely famous mountain range as well, the Starfall mountains!

The Starfall mountains had already existed for a very long time. The area possessed no renown until an Immortal Emperor perished there, which immediately elevated it to the centre of attention, attracting various organisations of different sizes.

Even though an Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum was nowhere near enough to shake up the entire Grand Sovereign Heaven, many immortals from the neighbouring immortal regions did come to investigate.

At this moment, in a formation that sealed up some land in the depths of the Starfall mountains. There was only a single tunnel for people to pass through.

There were three passes in the tunnel. Each pass was watched by one of the three great organisations of the Immortal Region of Green Plains. All the immortals that passed through had to pay a hefty toll.

After all, this was the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum.

People moved to and fro through the mausoleum. Some people were overjoyed as if they had found something, while others returned empty-handed with a frown on their faces.

There was an endless stream of immortals who entered after paying the hefty sum of immortal crystals.

“The sword technique I was comprehending a century ago was close to success. I’m just lacking one last push. I’ve prepared a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals this time. It’s enough for me to stay inside for an entire decade. I’ll definitely be able to grasp this sword technique in that time” a middle-aged man among the many immortals entering the mausoleum said excitedly, filled with anticipation.

“Then congratulations, master Lanhua. I’m certain your strength will only climb higher after grasping the sword technique inside.”

“Hahaha, master Lanhua, once you grasp the sword technique from the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum, I’m certain your old enemies won’t provoke you so often anymore.”

The companions beside the middle-aged man all congratulated him with smiles.

“Hahahahaha. Five hundred years. I’ve spent five hundred years comprehending arduously before finally grasping this sword technique. Hahahaha, the five hundred years of effort were well worth it.” At this moment, an old and hoarse laughter rang out from the mausoleum. A short old man emerged from outside. His emotions poured into his words.

As soon as the short old man left the vicinity of the mausoleum’s formation, he formed a seal with his hands. With a bellow, he immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and vanished into the horizon.

“What startling speed…”

The immortals nearby all looked at him with envy and jealousy.

“It’s the Immortal of Drunken Island. I didn’t expect the Immortal of Drunken Island to succeed as well and grasp a powerful sword technique.”

Jian Chen silently appeared above the Starfall mountains. He looked in the direction that the Immortal of Drunken Island had vanished into, and his face became slightly sunken. He murmured, “The Linear Lightning Release! First the Daluo Sword and now the Linear Lightning Release from this Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum. These two sword techniques both come from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“Looks like it’s extremely likely for the person buried in the mausoleum to be an expert of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Jian Chen’s face darkened slightly. If an Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens perished, it would logically be impossible for them to be buried in the wilderness. They would be sent back to the sect for burial.

Yet right now, not only was an Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens buried in the wilderness, but other organisations had even rounded up the mausoleum. They set up passes and turned it into a place where low-level immortals came to try their luck, turning it into an avenue of profit.

This was basically an insult for an Immortal Emperor of the mighty Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to suffer such treatment after death.

It could even be regarded as humiliation!

“Only those who report their origins, names, and pay the corresponding toll can enter the mausoleum…”

The disciples that the Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of Yuqing, and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds had allocated here yelled out from above the gates to the mausoleum.

There was a huge stone tablet on the side, protected by a formation, which detailed various fees and time lengths.

It was quite obvious from the enormous stone tablet that the mausoleum was divided into several regions. Each region had different sword techniques or some wondrous imprints relevant to comprehension and cultivation.

The price to enter each region ranged from ten thousand supreme grade immortal crystals to a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals a year.

Most of the immortals that entered the mausoleum were at Godhood. Very few Immortal Monarchs, which were on par with Infinite Primes, entered this place.

Jian Chen’s face remained sunken the entire time. With a step, he immediately vanished.

When he appeared again, he had already passed through the formation set down by the three organisations of the Immortal Region of Green Plains, directly entering the mausoleum.

He expanded the senses of his soul, and the entire situation in the mausoleum was clearly presented before him. In the next moment, he appeared inside a huge cavern.

The entrance of the cavern was guarded by a formation. Only those who had paid the corresponding toll in exchange for a special jade talisman could enter through here, but the formation was not of any impressive quality, so it could not stop him. He used the Laws of Space at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime to twist space, stepping inside with ease.

There were several hundred immortals, on par with Godhood cultivators, sitting in the cavern, staring straight at the ancient stone tablet in front of them and comprehending the details.

“The Daluo Sword!” Jian Chen’s gaze landed on the stone tablet, immediately recognising what it was. However, the sword technique was not called the Daluo Sword here but the Eternal Sword Qi.

Very soon, Jian Chen entered the next region. There were also immortals comprehending the technique in that region, except the sword technique there was the Linear Lightning Release.

However, the name had been changed to the Momental Movement!

Afterwards, Jian Chen visited the other regions in the mausoleum. He discovered that all the sword techniques and cultivation methods originated from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, except their names had been changed.

But without any exception, all the sword techniques that existed here were limited to the level of Godkings. After reaching Immortal Monarch, which was equivalent to Infinite Prime, these sword techniques all became useless.

“These all belong to the Sword Sect of Violet Heaven, b- but why is it like this? Has the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens really declined to the point where they can’t even protect their cultivation methods?” The sword spirits also noticed the situation here, leaving them depressed.

There were no powerful organisations that would allow any of their techniques or cultivation methods to become widespread, as it would lead to drastic effects on the organisation. Let alone that, they would struggle to protect even their dignity.

Yet right now, the sword techniques and cultivation methods of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had been reduced to the point where simply spending some immortal crystals was enough to comprehend them, and these immortal crystals even ended up in the hands of other organisations.

Even though these were all mid to low level sword techniques and cultivation methods, it was still a huge insult to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

In the end, Jian Chen arrived in the very depths of the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum. A palace stood there silently. It was a medium quality god artifact.

A powerful sword formation operated around the palace without any signs of stopping, releasing a sharp sword intent.

The sword formation was quite powerful. Even some early Chaotic Primes would struggle to breach it.

Jian Chen studied the sword formation and the divine hall inside. Every single region outside had been examined by countless people already. Apart from those sword techniques, cultivation methods, and cultivation summaries engraved on the stone tablets, there was basically nothing of value.

However, the palace that stood in the very depths was the only region that was properly maintained, forbidding all entry.

Perhaps due to the protection of the sword formation, everything inside remained untouched.

“This is the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation. The person who set up this formation was definitely a great elder of the Sword Formation of Violet Heavens!” The sword spirits emerged from Jian Chen’s body and studied the sword formation sternly. “The gate of life and gate of death have already been sealed off by the person who set up the formation. Once those two gates are sealed off, the formation can’t be destroyed by force. Attacking the formation and pushing it past its limits would make it blow up automatically, ensuring mutual destruction with the enemy.”

The sword spirits slowly looked at the formation inside it. After close observation, they said sternly, “On top of that, this Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation has already merged with the divine hall. Once the sword formation detonates, it’ll blow up the divine hall as well.”

Jian Chen frowned when he heard that. He murmured, “The sword formation and the divine hall will both be destroyed if the formation is destroyed by force? No wonder the divine hall’s remained intact until now and the three organisations that control this place do not dare to destroy the formation. Perhaps they have the ability to get through the formation, but they want what’s inside, which is why they’ve waited until now.”

“In the past, if a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens perished outside, even a scrap of their clothing would be delivered to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens respectfully. Yet right now, a mighty Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens actually has to resort to methods of mutual destruction to protect this place. Sigh.” The sword spirits sighed deeply. They were already preparing for the worst inside.
