Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2257: Wondrous Usage of the Soul

“You’ve misunderstood. I have no interest in you, much less any presumptuous thoughts like that. I only want the position so that I can enter the Tower of Radiance,” Jian Chen explained with a bitter smile.

Some of the cautiousness and contempt in Donglin Yanxue’s eyes vanished. She asked, “There’s something that I don’t understand. Out of the five candidates, why have you chosen me, instead of Gongzheng Xin or Xin Bin, who are more likely to become the Chosen Saint?”

“It’s for a very simple reason. You’re the weakest out of the five of them, so you should be the one who is the least likely to become the Chosen Saint. If I can assist you so that you become the Chosen Saint unexpectedly, you will have more gratitude towards me, and my trip into the Tower of Radiance will be even smoother.”

“Of course, that’s only one of the reasons. The main reason is that I’ve heard about the five of you from my teacher. I know some of your past. Although my knowledge is incomplete, I do understand the five of you roughly. The feeling you give me is that you’re more reliable one compared to the four others,” said Jian Chen.

“Do you really just want to enter the Tower of Radiance, and there are no other reasons?” Donglin Yanxue looked at Jian Chen closely.

“Definitely.”

“Very well then. I’ll promise you. However, there are only two years until the selection, and Xin Bin and Gongzheng Xin have both made it to the peak of the mid four-colored soulcore. They will break through at any time. If I want to defeat them, I need to reach late four-colored soulcore.”

“Even though a puresoul is extremely precious and very effective, it’s extremely difficult for me to break through the two realms in such a short amount of time,” said Donglin Yanxue.

Jian Chen thought about it and said, “You don’t need to worry. Aside from the puresoul, I’ll give you a Thousand Leaf Lotus. Anyway, since I’ve chosen you, I will assist you with my greatest ability when you contend for the position of Chosen Saint.”

Donglin Yanxue’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard him mention the Thousand Leaf Lotus. She said, “The lord of the Sky Gazing Peak happens to have a Thousand Leaf Lotus. Gongzheng Xin and Xin Bin have visited him time and time again in hopes of getting the Thousand Leaf Lotus. But in the end, the peak lord bestowed the Thousand Leaf Lotus to a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore.”

Donglin Yanxue looked at Jian Chen in a strange light and said, “You should be Chang Yang, the person who defeated a three-colored soulcore Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore.”

Jian Chen nodded in confirmation. Then he stowed the puresoul and Thousand Leaf Lotus into a separate Space Ring and passed it to Donglin Yanxue. He said, “If you have any other needs or difficulties during this time, you can find me. As long as I can help you, I will do everything I can.” Jian Chen ignored the prices he had to pay for Donglin Yanxue to become the Chosen Saint so that he could enter the Tower of Radiance.

The Desolate Plane was already filled with experts. Even with Mo Tianyun’s mask that prevented most of them from seeing through him, every single one of them was capable of many different methods. As a result, he needed to enter the Tower of Radiance as soon as possible to get his cultivation method so that he could leave the Desolate Plane.

After passing on the items, Jian Chen left and returned to the Soaring Clouds Plane.

Donglin Yanxue remained on the rock. She held the Space Ring as she watched Jian Chen leave. The light in her eyes flickered as she wondered, “What is Chang Yang’s background to be able to casually take out a puresoul that even the elders can’t get their hands on?”

“Or does he have no idea about the true usage of puresouls?”

…

In the next few days, Han Xin remained in seclusion to heal, so he did not summon the three disciples every morning. As a result, Jian Chen’s life was extremely peaceful. He remained in his dwelling and rarely went out, cultivating daily.

His junior sister, Bai Yu, had become a frequent guest of his. She basically went to Jian Chen’s dwelling daily and would stay there for the whole day. She would go there in the morning and leave reluctantly after the sun had set.

Naturally, Bai Yu went there for Jian Chen to teach her about the usage of Radiant Saint Force. Towards his junior sister, Jian Chen naturally did not hold back at all. He passed on all his understanding and method of usage regarding Radiant Saint Force to Bai Yu in great detail. He truly hoped that Bai Yu could become stronger.

However, the end result was not favourable. No matter how Jian Chen demonstrated and explained, Bai Yu failed to grasp any of his almost-perfect control and usage of Radiant Saint Force.

“Sigh. Why is it so difficult? I’ve tried countless times, and it still doesn’t work. Senior brother, can you explain to me how you achieve it so easily? Is there some other secret technique?” Failing once again, Bai Yu gave up in dejection.

“Perhaps it has something to do with talent,” said Jian Chen. Now, he was certain that his almost-perfect control over Radiant Saint Force was not just because of how powerful his soul was. The strand of true Chaotic Force that had fused with his soul was the most important aspect.

It was because of this Chaotic Force that his soul underwent some kind of transformation, making him possess a closer affinity towards Radiant Saint Force and various laws than any ordinary person.

“Junior sister, I better explain the Laws of the Hallowed to you. I just happened to gain some new comprehension of the Laws of the Hallowed when teacher invoked it for me. I hope it can help you,” said Jian Chen before immediately explaining what he saw when he was comprehending the Laws of the Hallowed and his understanding of the laws.

The Laws of the Hallowed was one of the three thousand ways. It was a law of the world and extremely profound. It could not be explained clearly at all. The only way to grasp it was through personal comprehension.

Jian Chen did not expect Bai Yu to comprehend the Laws of the Hallowed in such a short amount of time. He only hoped that he could help Bai Yu gain an even clearer understanding of the Laws of the Hallowed so that she could avoid some winding bends in the future.

However, when Jian Chen explained his understanding of the Laws of the Hallowed, he seemed to feel his soul gradually become flexible and unpredictable. The omnipresent Laws of the Hallowed seemed to fuse with him, changing as he wished.

At this moment, Jian Chen was thinking of building a foundation for Bai Yu to the best of his ability so as to pave a clear path for when she became a Hallowed Saint Master in the future.

In the end, he clearly felt the omnipresent Laws of the Hallowed begin to break down slowly, presenting itself in the simplest form.

It was exactly the same as when Han Xin personally invoked the Laws of the Hallowed for Jian Chen, presenting the profound laws in the clearest fashion possible.

This method had the same effect as an imprint to pass on laws.

The only difference was that Han Xin needed to control his Laws of the Hallowed to change slowly when he invoked them, while Jian Chen had completely achieved this through his will. According to what he wanted, the surrounding Laws of the Hallowed automatically broke down, making it much simpler.
