Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2589: Something Major

Xuan Zhan knew that Yu Chen had already made up his mind. As such, no matter what he did, he would not be able to stop Yu Chen from leaving the Desolate Plane. He could only let out a long, helpless sigh.

He understood Yu Chen. He knew that Yu Chen had no desire to rule. The Radiant Saint Hall was his home. As long as this home was fine and could grow in prosperity, he would be satisfied. Whether he was in charge did not seem all that important.

Stepping down as leader gave Yu Chen a sense of liberation.

He took on the position in the past because the Radiant Saint Hall needed him. They needed an expert like him.

Now that the Radiant Saint Hall had their protectors, it was no longer necessary for him to watch over it.

“Brother Yu Chen, take care!” Xuan Zhan clasped his fist towards Yu Chen and bid him farewell.

“Xuan Zhan, you take care too. You have to pay more attention to the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance once I leave. As soon as the artifact spirit awakens, you have to get to the bottom of the matter with the Martial Soul lineage.” This was the last thing that Yu Chen said. With that, he turned into a streak of white light and shot off into the horizon, vanishing in an instant. He left the Desolate Plane alone, without any reluctance.

Xuan Zhan remained where he stood. He stared in the direction that Yu Chen had left in for quite some time before gradually returning to his senses.

However, he seemed lonely at that moment.

“Gongsun Zhi,” Xuan Zhan uttered Gongsun Zhi’s name. He ground his teeth as his eyes were filled with coldness.

But very soon, he calmed down. He returned to normal, returning to the Radiant Saint Hall like nothing had happened at all.

However, when Xuan Zhan returned to the Radiant Saint Hall, Gongsun Zhi was already sitting down on the throne for the leader eagerly. He was in high spirits, and he seemed like he looked down upon the world.

“Xuan Zhan, where is Yu Chen?” Gongsun Zhi immediately asked in an arrogant manner like he was in charge when he saw Xuan Zhan return.

“He has already left the Desolate Plane,” Xuan Zhan said emotionlessly.

“What? Yu Chen has left? He has left the Desolate Plane? Really?” Gongsun Zhi beamed. He immediately lightened up with that news. He felt at ease.

Yu Chen had assumed the position as leader quite some time ago, so he held great influence in the Radiant Saint Hall. That made Gongsun Zhi worry very much. He was worried that Yu Chen’s existence would threaten his position one day. Now that he had left, Gongsun Zhi became completely fearless.

“Xuan Zhan, I’ve never found Gongsun Zhi pleasing to the eye. Now that he has become the leader, I oppose this all the most. Why don’t you take us and leave the Radiant Saint Hall? We can found our own organisation,” Mo He of the eight vice-leaders said to Xuan Zhan secretly at this moment.

“That’s right. Xuan Zhan, we’re willing to found our own organisation with you as the leader...”

“Xuan Zhan, I would hate to see that bastard Gongsun Zhi order us around. Hmph, does he really think he’s a big deal? If he doesn’t have a protector sword, I could crush him with a single finger. Who cares what bloodline he possesses? If he angers me, I’ll kill him even if he’s a direct descendant of a Grand Exalt...”

...

The other vice-leaders all added secretly after Mo He. They were unwilling to yield to Gongsun Zhi’s rule. They would much rather leave with Xuan Zhan.

After all, not only was Xuan Zhan the leader of the eight vice-leaders, but he was also a straightforward person that garnered respect. He was also a wielder of a protector sword, so the other vice-leaders were completely willing to follow him.

Xuan Zhan shook his head gently. He stopped the vice-leaders. He did not wish for the Radiant Saint Hall to just be torn apart like this.

“In three days, I, Gongsun Zhi, will formally hold the ceremony for ascending to power. I will invite the leaders of all the major organisations on the Desolate Plane to celebrate with me. Afterwards, I will personally lead everyone to the Cloud Plane to take back the Method of the Exalted Saint...”

...

Jian Chen remained within his residence in the Tian Yuan clan. He looked at an extremely beautiful flower that stood at only two metres tall before him with great eagerness.

The flower was very special. It was not rooted to the ground. Instead, it hovered in the air, and its roots moved around and extended casually like living tendrils. They seemed to glisten with light, and they would emit powerful pulses of energy from time to time.

It was evidently trying to conceal the energy to the best of its ability, but it was clearly unable to present itself in its most basic form. A sliver of energy would always leak out accidentally.

The flower was the Immortal Devouring Orchid that Jian Chen had been raising.

“Late Godking already. It looks like the corpses of Primordial realm experts really are great nourishment for you. If this continues, you’ll probably break through again and reach the Primordial realm before long,” Jian Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

As if it could understand Jian Chen, the Immortal Devour Flower unfurled every one of its petals like it was smiling in its own way. At the same time, it gave off a mental pulse that was filled with joy.

Ever since it became a Godking, the Immortal Devouring Orchid could communicate mentally with Jian Chen.

However, perhaps as a result of natural restrictions, it still could not assume a human form.

“Once you reach the Primordial realm, you might be able to assist me,” Jian Chen added. He became more and more eager about the future.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid grew at a rate that was far too astonishing. It was as if as long as it had sufficient nourishment, it could continue to grow without any obstruction. It was like no bottlenecks existed for it at all.

Jian Chen had a strong feeling that the Immortal Devouring Orchid really might be of great help to him in the future. It might surpass him with its current rate of growth.

Moreover, this feeling became more and more intense as the Immortal Devouring Orchid grew.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid swayed gently in the air. It bent down and nudged Jian Chen’s arm gently. It seemed extremely close to Jian Chen.

It was as if being able to help Jian Chen was the happiest thing it could do.

“A war is coming. I don’t have time to accompany you. Work hard on cultivation. You’ve already consumed several Infinite Prime corpses. I think the effects of the Infinite Prime corpses will decrease once you reach the Primordial realm. It looks like I need to prepare some corpses of Chaotic Primes for you,” Jian Chen said softly. He said that easily, but if anyone else heard his words, they would be utterly frightened.

Chaotic Primes were basically all figures equivalent to great elders in any peak organisation. They possessed great authority and exceptional abilities, yet he treated them as simply nourishment.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid wrapped around the two Infinite Prime corpses Jian Chen had given it before entering Jian Chen’s Watercloud Hall. It continued to cultivate.

After the Immortal Devouring Orchid vanished, Jian Chen stood up and made his way out. He looked into the distance and murmured, “It looks like the Four Symbols Alliance is about to do something major this time.”
