Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2270: The Mysterious Rock (Two)

“So you were sent by Gongzheng Xin. Tell me, what has Gongzheng Xin offered you? I’ll give you ten times the amount.” Jian Chen remained composed and said calmly, “You’re working for Gongzheng Xin for the various cultivation resources he’s offering. I can give you whatever Gongzheng Xin can give you such as this divine hall.” With a flip of his hand, a hand-sized divine hall appeared from his Space Ring.

The two middle-aged men who had come to kill Jian Chen never took him seriously from the beginning. However, when they saw the divine hall in Jian Chen’s hand, their eyes narrowed as they became overjoyed.

“Ninth grade of the Truth Tier. It’s actually at the ninth grade of the Truth Tier…”

“You actually have a treasure like that on you…”

The two middle-aged men were extremely surprised. The divine hall was something they could not resist. Greed immediately filled their eyes as they lunged at Jian Chen as quickly as they could. They wanted to take the divine hall for themselves.

Jian Chen’s lips could not help but curl up into an undetectable sneer as he watched the two middle-aged men rushed towards the divine hall. In the next moment, a pair of hands suddenly extended out from the divine hall, reaching towards the two of them with speed that seemed indescribable to the middle-aged men.

The sudden occurrence made the expressions of both men change. However, it was already too late. The two hands grabbed their necks with lightning speed, and under their horrified gazes, it forcefully wrenched them into the divine hall.

“Gongzheng Xin sure does have a high opinion of me. He actually sent two early Godkings to deal with me, who’s supposed to only be equivalent to a Receival fighter,” Jian Chen sneered as he looked at the divine hall in his hand. Afterwards, he said to the structure, “Hei Ya, I’ll leave the two of them to you.” Jian Chen’s voice sounded in the divine hall clearly.

“Yes, master,” Hei Ya responded politely from within the divine hall.

“Master, I feel like I’m going to break through soon,” Hei Ya said after a slight pause.

“You’re going to break through? This soon?” Jian Chen was surprised. Once Hei Ya broke through, he would directly reach the Primordial realm.

A Primordial realm expert had once been an indomitable existence in his eyes. Now, one of his retainers was about to become a Primordial realm expert, which amazed Jian Chen.

“It’s all because of master’s Flower of Ways. If it were not for the Flower of Ways and the various heavenly resources, I would have never touched on the boundary of the Primordial realm so soon,” Hei Ya said in deep gratitude.

After a moment of consideration, Jian Chen said, “The divine hall can’t endure the disturbance you make when you break through. The situation is special right now. It’s not a good time to break through. Hei Ya, suppress your breakthrough temporarily.”

“Yes, master!”

Afterwards, Jian Chen checked the surroundings. After he discovered that he had left no traces behind, he was about to leave.

But at this moment, an extremely vague and mysterious presence appeared from the swamp below him.

The presence was extremely weak and vague. If it were not for the fact that Jian Chen’s soul had fused with a sliver of true Chaotic Force, making it extremely powerful and sensitive, he would not have been able to sense the mysterious presence at all.

This was because it was just too vague, so vague that even the senses of Primordial realm souls would not be able to discover it.

Jian Chen suddenly looked at the swamp below him, and after a moment of hesitation, he dived in.

A layer of milky-white light formed a white, airtight barrier around him. The water and mud around him were pushed aside by Radiant Saint Force along the way, allowing Jian Chen to dive in.

As he dived deeper and deeper, Jian Chen became more and more astonished. The swamp was far deeper than he had imagined it to be. He felt that he had dived several dozen kilometres at the very least, but he still had not reached the bottom.

The ordinary swamp seemed to lead straight into the ground.

And the deeper he dived, the greater the pressure in the surroundings became. In the end, Jian Chen was unable to keep up the barrier with Radiant Saint Force alone, so he just dispersed all the Radiant Saint Force. He did not use any energy at all, using his body to endure the pressure from the depths.

In the end, after who knows how long, Jian Chen dived several tens of thousand kilometres and finally hit solid ground. He arrived at the very depths of the swamp.

There was a layer of extremely tough rock at the bottom of the swamp. Jian Chen sensed around with his soul and finally found the thing responsible for the mysterious presence.

It was actually a rock four feet wide.

Jian Chen expanded the senses of his soul in an attempt to investigate the contents of the rock. However, to his surprise, the senses of his soul told him the rock that was clearly right in front of him did not exist.

“It can only be discovered with the naked eye. This rock is not simple,” Jian Chen rubbed the rock gently. Afterwards, he shot out a strand of sword Qi from his fingertip, scraping off a thin layer of powder from the surface of the rock. Afterwards, he took out the divine hall from his Space Ring and spread the powder on it. He thought, “This powder should be able to conceal the divine hall and prevent people from finding it with the senses of their souls.”

Very soon, the tiny divine hall was covered with a thick layer of powder. Afterwards, with a thought, Jian Chen vanished along with the rock. Only the divine hall covered in rock powder stood at the bottom of the swamp quietly.

Jian Chen silently appeared within the divine hall with the rock. He cleaned off the dust around the rock and began to study it carefully.

The rock was cubical, four feet in length, width, and depth. It was dark red and extremely tough. Even with Jian Chen’s current strength, he was unable to shatter it.

From the surface, it seemed ordinary. Apart from being tough and undetectable with the senses of the soul, it did not stand out in any way. It did not even give off any pulses of energy.

However, Jian Chen was able to discover slivers of extremely obscure and mysterious presences radiating from the rock thanks to the extraordinary senses of his soul.

He believed that no one else aside from himself could sense this presence. That even included the peak experts.

“Hei Ya, do you recognise this?” Jian Chen called Hei Ya over to identify the rock.

But very soon, Hei Ya shook his head. He had never seen or heard of a wondrous rock like this.

Jian Chen stared at the rock in thought for a while before making up his mind in the end. Sword Qi flashed from the tip of his finger as he cut off a thin layer of rock with quite the effort. He studied it carefully in his hand.
