Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2328: Undying

Jian Chen did not answer her. He closed his eyes and sensed what he had received and said, “I just obtained a Radiant Arte called the Sword Transformation Technique from the ancient imprint. However, it’s not of a particularly high grade. Once I surpass Godking, the Radiant Arte will become completely useless. Do you have any method for me to obtain cultivation methods and Radiant Artes of higher grade?”

Donglin Yanxue sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed down her palpitating heart. She said slowly, “The ancient imprints floating here have all been prepared for disciples below Godking because the contents of the imprints just happen to suit disciples of such a level.”

“However, there’s a sacred pavilion within the depths of the Tower of Radiance. The sacred pavilion is the true spirit of our Radiant Saint Hall; it is the place where all the legacies reside. That’s because all the cultivation methods, Radiant Artes, and so on have been left behind by past experts who have condensed soultrees.”

“There’s even a legend that the sovereign of the world who stood on par with Grand Exalts, the person who created this Tower of Radiance, had left his cultivation method in the sacred pavilion as well. Of course, no one has been able to obtain this cultivation method throughout the history of our Radiant Saint Hall, including all the leaders.”

“As a result, the Tower of Radiance possessing a Grand Exalt’s cultivation method has always remained as a legend. No one can prove that it truly exists...”

“A Grand Exalt’s cultivation method!” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up with undisguised desire. Clearly, he was unable to resist the temptation of the Grand Exalt’s cultivation method either.

After all, this was not a cultivation method for fighters. If it were a cultivation method for fighters, he would not become interested at all even if it were more powerful than the cultivation methods of Grand Exalts.

This was because he cultivated Chaotic Force. He had embarked on a completely different path of cultivation. It had already taken shape such that it was impossible for him to switch to other cultivation methods.

However, Radiant Saint Force was different. The exact thing he lacked right now was a cultivation method for it. As a matter of fact, it was because of this that he had gone to such great lengths to enter the Tower of Radiance.

“Let’s go to the sacred pavilion,” Jian Chen said. The sacred pavilion was where he truly wanted to go.

Donglin Yanxue looked at him in worry and tried to persuade him, “The sacred pavilion is in the depths of the Radiant Saint Hall. It’ll take some time to reach that place. Although you’re already a Hallowed Saint Master, you only have a one-colored soulcore after all. Under the corrosion of the mist, you won’t be able to last for very long.”

“Chang Yang, although the things recorded in the ancient imprints out here are not of particularly high quality, it’s enough for you with your current strength. If you want to go to the sacred hall, I’ll come with you once you raise your strength some more. I have a total of three chances to enter the Tower of Radiance during this thousand year period. I can leave the remaining two chances up to you.”

Donglin Yanxue spoke very softly. There was a deeply hidden tenderness in her gaze.

After she learned that Jian Chen was a deviant that appeared once every million years, his status in her heart was no longer the same as before.

“You don’t need to worry about me. I’m not as frail as you imagine me to be. Let’s go,” said Jian Chen. He did not take the mist here seriously at all.

Donglin Yanxue felt helpless. She could only lead the way, taking Jian Chen to the sacred pavilion that resided in the depths of the Tower of Radiance.

“Is this the sacred pavilion?” Three days later, Jian Chen stood outside a small building completely built out of white rock and asked Donglin Yanxue.

Donglin Yanxue stared at the small building, and a sliver of rarely-seen seriousness appeared on her face. She said, “That’s right, this is the sacred pavilion. Don’t get fooled by its external appearance. Although it seems like nothing special from the outside, basically an ordinary stone hut, it has its own world inside.”

“Even the Radiant Origin Pearls from the World of Moon and Star come from within the sacred pavilion. The sacred pavilion is the centre of the Tower of Radiance, and it is where the spirit of the Tower of Radiance resides,” Donglin Yanxue explained to Jian Chen patiently before urging him, “The eight protectors should have entered the sacred pavilion. Let’s go in as well. We stand in the mist at all times, so our time here is extremely limited. We can’t waste it.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue entered the sacred pavilion together.

Jian Chen immediately felt like he had entered a whole new world when he set foot in the sacred pavilion. However, the world within the sacred pavilion seemed no different from the outside world. It was also enveloped by thick, grey mist. The artifact spirit’s resentment was everywhere.

Jian Chen’s heart jumped slightly. When he entered the sacred hall, he could clearly sense a mental pulse from the sword spirits. They actually awoke from their slumber slowly.

“We sense the presence of a being similar to us. Master, where is this place?” Zi Ying’s voice rang out inside Jian Chen’s head.

“This is the Tower of Radiance...”

“So this is the Tower of Radiance. The artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance is the same as us, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall, and the artifact spirit of the Anatta Tower. We all originate from a strand of power from chaos. We’re all undying existences. But it seems like the fate of the artifact spirit here was a little too miserable. Not only did he collapse, but even his consciousness had almost been dispersed,” Zi Ying said in amazement. The sword spirits hid within Jian Chen’s body and sensed the situation outside.

“The artifact spirit here has suffered a fate even worse than ours. He’s the most miserable out of all the ones we’ve seen. If he were no undying, he would have dispersed long ago,” Qing Suo also said sympathetically.

Jian Chen was shocked by that and asked, “Are you saying that the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance isn’t truly dead?”

“Of course not. Qing Suo and I, along with the artifact spirits of the Anatta Tower and the Primeval Divine Hall that master has seen before, are the same as the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance. We’re all undying existences. Even Grand Exalts can’t kill us. They can only suppress or seal us, weakening us greatly.”

“It’s just that the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance has suffered the most miserable fate we’ve seen so far. He must have endured the most terrifying attack from a Grand Exalt in the past, causing him to collapse and his consciousness to begin dispersing. Although it’s not truly death, who knows how long he’ll take to recover in his current state. And after he recovers, he’ll probably lose all of his past memories. He’ll develop a new consciousness and become the second artifact spirit,” Zi Ying sighed gently.

“But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Master, before you is a huge fortuitous encounter,” Qing Suo suddenly said excitedly.

“A huge fortuitous encounter? What fortuitous encounter?” Jian Chen asked curiously.

“The artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance has already collapsed, and its consciousness has begun dispersing. However, its power still remains within the Tower of Radiance. Didn’t master obtain a radiant saint artifact in the lower world back then? The artifact spirit evolved from a strand of Radiant Saint Force origin energy after a complicated process. From a certain sense, he shares the same origins as the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance. As a result, we can make him fuse with the power and remaining consciousness from the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance, replacing the artifact spirit with the artifact spirit of the radiant saint artifact through a secret substitution such that he becomes the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance,” Zi Ying said excitedly.
