Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3775: Broken Sword

Chapter 3775: Broken Sword

After seeing off the city lord of the Azure Afterglow City, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sat down on his throne in thought. His expression changed a few times.

After a while, he let out a long sigh. He murmured to himself, “I never thought that I’d have a falling out with the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire over these spots. The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire will probably bear a grudge against me from now onwards.”

“I may have resolved all those years of enmity with the Void-perceiving sect for good, but now, my relations.h.i.+p with the Yi Immortal City has instead suffered. Life truly is unpredictable.”

“The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire is not worthy of any concern. He grasps the Laws of Fire, which are still weaker than the Laws of the Sword at the end of the day. However, his seventh son who has already joined the Courtyard of Ways will be quite a problem.”

As soon as he thought of the Courtyard of Ways, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu struggled to find any solace.

“City lord, I have something to report!” At this moment, vice city lord Qiu Wanqian’s voice rang out from outside.

“Come in.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu set aside his thoughts and looked at the entrance.

In the next moment, Qiu Wanqian entered the hall. He clasped his fist at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and said, “City lord, we’ve already discovered experts from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment near our Immortal Rising City. In particular, in the barren mountains ten million kilometres away from our city. According to our scouts, there are many disciples of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment active there.”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was not surprised. “The Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment lost two high quality G.o.d artifacts at the same time, so of course, they would take action. However, they’re even more cautious than I imagined they would be. To think that they didn’t actually come and find me immediately. Looks like they’ve also developed qualms over the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s sudden disappearance.”

After a moment of silence, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu waved his hand at Qiu Wanqian and said, “You can go. Keep an eye on the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment’s movements. Inform fellow Yang Yutian about this as well.”

“Watch your tracks. Don’t create trouble for fellow Yang Yutian prematurely.”

“Yes, city lord!” Qiu Wanqian answered and left the hall.

Afterwards, Qiu Wanqian left the city lord’s estate and erased his presence. After intentionally disguising himself, he silently arrived at Jian Chen’s temporary abode without raising any attention. He told Jian Chen about the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

“It has already been several days since the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master perished. The Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment has only just begun mobilising people. They’re much slower than I thought they would be.” Jian Chen smiled after hearing that. He was not concerned.

In his knowledge, the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment only possessed a few high quality G.o.d artifacts. Now that they had lost two all of a sudden, they obviously would not simply drop the matter.

“The person behind the Tiger Roar clan is one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Transcension Ancestor, a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. If the Transcension Ancestor is not eliminated, countless female cultivators in the Immortals’ World will suffer, so I must eliminate him.”

“It’s unavoidable for conflict to occur between me and the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, except it’s still disadvantageous for me to clash against them too early. In short, the longer I can drag this out, the more advantageous it will be to me.” Jian Chen calculated. He could only come up with a single idea right now to deal with the Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Transcension Ancestor. He needed to annihilate him with the Divine Formation of the Heavens.

“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has more and more Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals now, and the power of the Divine Formation of the Heavens is constantly increasing. Before long, the power of the Divine Formation of the Heavens will rise to the terrifying level of being able to kill Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. All that is missing right now is time.”

“Master… master…” At this moment, Jing Mumu ran over joyfully. Her excited little face was glowing. She said hopefully, “Master, an appraisal fair is going to be held in the Immortal Rising City tonight. I heard all sorts of strange treasures will appear there. I want to go and take a look.”

Jian Chen looked at Jing Mumu and smiled gently. “Most of the items that appear in places like that are low level, unworthy of any attention. Are you sure you still want to go?”

“Master, I want to increase my knowledge, and it’s already been a very long time since I’ve gone outside.” Jing Mumu was basically pleading with him.

Faced with Jing Mumu’s hopeful gaze, Jian Chen immediately sighed and said rather helplessly, “Since you want to go, then go. Go with your grandfather. You have to listen to him when you’re outside.”

“Okay! Thank you, master. I knew you spoilt me the most!” Jing Mumu cheered excitedly.

“Take this s.p.a.ce Ring with you. There are a few immortal crystals inside. You can buy whatever you end up liking.” Jian Chen casually pa.s.sed a s.p.a.ce Ring over to Jing Mumu.

“Thank you, master!” Jing Mumu accepted the s.p.a.ce Ring happily. She subconsciously checked it with the senses of her soul before her jaw dropped. She was dumbstruck.

A mountainous pile of supreme grade immortal crystals stood inside the s.p.a.ce Ring. The quant.i.ty reached the tens of millions.

Jing Mumu had never seen so many supreme grade immortal crystals before. For a moment, she became stunned.

......

…

Only Jian Chen remained in the large courtyard, but he did not idle around. Instead, he locked himself in a secret room to quietly comprehend the Laws of the Sword.

The appraisal fair in the Immortal Rising City would be held once every one thousand years. It seemed no different from a regular market. The greatest difference was the items that appeared in the appraisal fair. It mostly consisted of bizarre objects and some special materials that could not be found in regular stores.

As for the bizarre objects, some of them seemed to be extraordinary, but they did not actually have any use.

On the other hand, some items seemed completely ordinary, but they could actually be extremely precious G.o.d Tier materials.

Items being sold for the wrong prices, whether for the better or for the worse, regularly occurred at appraisal fairs. Whether they could benefit from the trade was a test of an individual’s insight and luck.

The appraisal fair was bustling with people, raising a great hubbub. Jing Mumu moved through the crowd happily and stared at each stall with great interest. Her naive face oozed with smiles, filled with excitement and joy.

On this day, she basically spent money like it was worth nothing. Her s.p.a.ce Ring had already become filled up with a great variety of items. They were all goods that seemed more attractive than useful.

Jing Feng stuck close to her side, following behind Jing Mumu helplessly. He seemed like he had already given up completely.

“Little girl, this Fire Phoenix pin is forged from the bones of an Immortal Emperor phoenix. It contains an extremely abundant power of the Laws of Fire. If you wear it, you’ll be able to comprehend the Laws of Fire with far greater ease…” When Jing Mumu arrived at one of the stalls and picked up a fiery-red pin to study, the old man manning the stall immediately advertised it to her.

“How much for the pin?” Jing Mumu immediately took a liking to the pin.

“It will be… a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals only.” The stall owner studied Jing Mumu before giving a price after hesitating.

“The material used for this pin only comes from a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal beast. How is it crafted from the bones of a phoenix?” Jing Feng walked over. He glanced at the red pin and sneered. “It’s just a regular item. It can only barely be considered as an ornament. How is it worth a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals?”

After a series of exchanges, Jing Mumu ultimately bought the pin for a thousand supreme grade immortal crystals.

“Hmm?” Jing Mumu’s gaze was drawn over by another item offered by the stall—the pitch-black tip of a sword. It was only two fingers wide and as long as a hand.

She subconsciously picked up the broken tip. She did not recognise its material, but she noticed that it was cool to the touch and as light as a feather.

“This is Dull Star metal, a low grade G.o.d Tier material. It’s usually added to low quality G.o.d artifacts, so this broken sword should be a low quality G.o.d artifact.” Jing Feng immediately recognised what the broken sword was made out of. He could not help but sigh gently. “Unfortunately, the sword has already shattered. It’s just a fragment of a low quality G.o.d artifact. It’s mostly useless.”

“Impressive insight, fellow. You actually recognised it as Dull Star metal instantly. However, Dull Star metal is at the G.o.d Tier after all. If you could extract the Dull Star metal in the sword, it should be quite valuable,” said the stall owner.

“Sir, how much for the tip of the sword?” Jing Mumu suddenly looked at the stall owner. Her eyes flickered with interest.

“A hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals for the tip of the sword.” As soon as the stall owner stated the price, he elaborated in a hurry, seemingly afraid of scaring Jing Mumu with the price. “Little girl, it’s not overpriced. If the low quality G.o.d artifact were undamaged, its value would be a hundred times more. It’s exactly because it’s damaged that I’m selling it for this price.”

Jing Feng furrowed his brows. “Mumu, don’t tell me you want to buy the tip of this sword? This item is useless to you.”

“Grandpa, I feel a connection to it,” Jing Mumu said to Jing Feng.

When he heard that, Jing Feng was left exasperated. He scolded her. “A connection? Tell me, out of all the items you bought so far, were there any ones that you did not feel a connection to? Mumu, you can’t spend the immortal crystals that your master gave you like this.”

However, before Jing Feng could finish talking, Jing Mumu had already fished out a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals and paid the stall owner, buying the tip of the sword. She left Jing Feng absolutely fuming.

The stall owner accepted Jing Mumu’s hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals happily and handed the tip of the sword over to her extremely enthusiastically. “Little girl, this is now yours. Please take it.”

He had excavated the tip of the sword when he was building a dwelling in the wilderness. He had already possessed it for several tens of thousand years now. It was truly unexpected that he could sell it for a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals

“Dull Star metal can only be considered as a cheaper low grade G.o.d Tier material, and the tip of the sword only contains a thin layer of Dull Star Metal, making it extremely difficult to extract. Basically no one can achieve that. I’ve made a tidy sum selling it for a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals.” The stall owner secretly rejoiced.

Jing Mumu accepted the broken tip of the sword and studied it curiously in her hand. She became more and more intrigued.

When she first saw the tip of the sword, she developed an indescribably strange feeling, which was the reason why she bought it.

Now that she held it in her hand, the feeling grew stronger and stronger.

The tip of the sword was extremely sharp. As Jing Mumu fiddled around with it, she accidentally cut herself and drew blood. One droplet happened to land on the tip of the sword. Surprisingly, it absorbed the blood immediately.

Crack!

Suddenly, with a crisp sound, the tip of the sword became covered in fine cracks. Before Jing Mumu could respond, surging sword intent was released from the tip of the broken sword in her hand.
