Chaotic Sword God - Chapter 3455

Chapter 3455: Great Elder
After several attempts, Jian Chen was still unable to communicate with the lingering wills of these disciples. With no other choice, he could only leave the state of the Soul-viewing technique. He muttered, “The Immortal Sect of Luofu. The Immortal Sect of Yuqing. The Immortal Sect of White Clouds. The lingering wills of the disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens are filled with hatred towards them. Looks like their deaths probably had something to do with these three organisations.”

Undisguised killing intent shone in Jian Chen’s eyes. Several thousand disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had passed away in meditation in the divine hall. The three organisations had also occupied the Immortal Emperor’s dwellings. All of these clues allowed him to roughly deduce everything that had happened.

Standing exactly where he was in silence for a while, Jian Chen shut his eyes once more. When he opened them, they became pitch-black again as if something was lurking within the two black holes.

He was using the Soul-gathering technique!

The Soul-gathering technique could gather the souls of the deceased as long as their strength was below the caster. Then the caster could send them into rebirth.

He wanted to try and see if he could gather some lingering souls here and send these disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens back into rebirth, giving them a chance at a second life.

But unfortunately, because far too much time had already passed, these lingering souls were all gone. Jian Chen failed to achieve anything with the Soul-gathering technique.

“Sigh, looks like the owners of the souls that I gather with the Soul-gathering technique can’t have perished for too long. Otherwise, once too much time has passed, everything will disperse, whether it’s lingering wills or lingering souls.” Jian Chen sighed gently. He took one last glance at the several thousand skeletons in the divine hall before making his way higher up.

These disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were located on the second highest floor of the divine hall. Above was the last floor.

Very soon, Jian Chen arrived at the highest point in the divine hall. Just as he had suspected, he found a skeleton there.

The owner of the skeleton was already dead, but his remains continued to give off a powerful pressure.

The person was an Immortal Emperor when they were still alive, equivalent to a Chaotic Prime of the Saints’ World.

On the ground beside the skeleton was a series of scattered items. There were bottles for pills, as well as an identification tablet from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

Reaching out, the identification tablet immediately entered Jian Chen’s hand, except it was very different from the tablets of the disciples below. There were a pair of life-like divine swords carved on it.

They were identical to how the twin swords were originally!

“This is a great elder’s tablet!” The twin swords’ voices rang out. They stared straight at the skeleton with a faint sense of sorrow.

The skeleton was slightly green and shone with a faint green light, clearly having perished from the Laws of Curses.

However, the Laws of Curses was not the only reason for his death, as many parts of the skeleton had shattered. The skull had suffered horrific wounds, while the area near the ears had been pierced by blades. Even the top of the head had been damaged. The entire skull was cracked.

On top of that, the skeleton had already lost both its arms, with only a single leg remaining.

Many parts of the remaining leg were covered in wounds too, which made it seem like it had almost been cut off as well.

Jian Chen began to tremble all over, clutching his fists firmly as he stared at the skeleton in ruins. His fingernails dug deeply into his skin.

At this moment, his killing intent and fury turned into surging waves, bubbling violently in his heart.

He did not know who this person was. He had not even met him before. However, since he was a great elder of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, then they belonged to the same sect.

Now that he saw someone from his own sect in such a horrible condition, Jian Chen obviously felt like grinding his teeth.

In particular, when he saw the scattered bottles in the surroundings, Jian Chen could basically imagine that the Immortal Emperor had tried many methods before his death to heal himself, but unfortunately, even after using all the pills on him, he was unable to avoid death.

“Soul-viewing technique!”

Jian Chen used the secret technique without any hesitation. Immediately, the skeleton and the divine hall vanished from his eyes. He saw an eerie space of endless darkness.

He saw an old man with white hair, eyebrows, and beard sitting in this space with an amicable appearance.

The old man was the lingering soul that the great elder of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had left behind after death, or it could be called a lingering will.

However, this lingering soul was different from other souls. This wisp of soul could only be seen through the secret techniques of Martial Soul Force. It was also the secret techniques of Martial Soul Force that allowed communication with it under some special circumstances.

Without the secret techniques, even Grand Exalts who had become embodiments of the heavenly way could not see this wisp of soul.

Grand Exalts were capable of almost everything, but they were not truly omnipotent.

Jian Chen finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing the old man. Fortunately, he could see the lingering will from the Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

That also meant he could communicate with him and learn some information from the dead man.

At this moment, the old man opened his eyes slowly. He looked at Jian Chen blankly in confusion.

“Fellow, w-who are you? And where is this place?” The old man looked around, but all he saw was eternal darkness. The only bit of colour that existed here was Jian Chen.

“Don’t tell me that this is the world after death?” the old man asked.

“I am Jian Chen, a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, as well as the current master of the twin swords!” Jian Chen said.

“What? The master of the twin swords?” The old man was surprised. “Don’t tell me the twin swords have emerged again? But how am I supposed to believe that you’re the master of the twin swords?”

“You don’t need to believe that I’m the master of the twin swords. Senior, you’re also aware that you’re already deceased. I’m currently communicating with your lingering will or lingering soul through a secret technique. I want to know how you died,” Jian Chen said.

“Is how I died still important? After all, with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ strength, it’s impossible to get revenge. They don’t have the strength to avenge me,” said the old man.

“If you don’t tell me and don’t let others find out about the truth, how are you so certain that they can’t avenge you?” Jian Chen asked.

Only after a moment of silence did the old man say slowly, “The people who killed me were from the three great organisations of the Immortal Region of Green Plains. They are the Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of Yuqing, and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds.”

“Just those three? There weren’t any other organisations that interfered?” Jian Chen asked in surprise.

“I didn’t notice any other organisations, but with the strength of their three Immortal Emperors, they don’t need any assistance from other organisations to kill me. I only reached Immortal Emperor recently, while the Immortal Emperors of the three sects were all mid Immortal Emperors. Let alone working together, even if they faced me alone, I would not be their opponent,” said the old man.

“What grievances did you have with them?”

“There were no grievances. They were only after some legacies from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
