Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2318: Martial Soul Mountain

“I’m wanted by quite a few powerful experts right now. If you let me become a member of the Martial Soul lineage, aren’t you afraid of me bringing you trouble?” Jian Chen asked. He knew Qing Shan would be able to understand what he was hinting at and the matters that were involved.

With Qing Shan’s wit, he had already realised Jian Chen’s true identity when they fought.

“Although members of our Martial Soul lineage cannot breakthrough to Grand Prime, you must never underestimate us. We only have seven people, but we fear no one on the Desolate Plane aside from the Celestial Sword Saint. None of them can threaten us. Even if all the peak experts band together, we can just camp on the Martial Soul Mountain. As long as we stay there, even the Celestial Sword Saint won’t be able to do anything to us.”

“Let alone the Celestial Sword Saint, even existences slightly more powerful than him won’t be able to enter the Martial Soul Mountain. I think you’ll be in dire straits once you become surrounded by the peak experts of the Desolate Plane because of the Anatta Tower, and even if you flee the Desolate Plane, they’ll search for you endlessly. However, as long as you reach the Martial Soul Mountain, they won’t be able to do anything to you,” Qing Shan guaranteed with great confidence.

“How powerful is the Martial Soul Mountain? How can it stop the Celestial Sword Saint or even existences greater than the Celestial Sword Saint?” Jian Chen’s face changed. The Celestial Sword Saint was an existence that deterred even the Azure Peng King from setting foot on the Desolate Plane.

“The Martial Soul Mountain is where members of our Martial Soul lineage reside safely. It’s exactly because of the Martial Soul Mountain that our lineage is able to exist throughout history and not perish. The only problem is that the Martial Soul Mountain can only be treated as our last line of defence. It protects our lineage from perishing, but it cannot be taken around by us.” Qing Shan looked at Jian Chen with undisguised admiration and continued, “I know you’ve joined the Radiant Saint Hall under a fake identity and protected Donglin Yanxue during the trial between candidates to enter the Tower of Radiance.”

“Indeed, the Tower of Radiance is a supreme treasure of the Radiant Saint Hall. It was left behind by a sovereign of the world from the Radiant Saint Hall who had become on par with a Grand Exalt. It hides a great fortune for Radiant Saint Masters, and all the cultivation methods and Radiant Artes that have existed come from there. Even everything that the leader and vice-leaders of the Radiant Saint Hall know come from the Tower of Radiance. It’s an endless treasure trove and a place that can alter the fate of any and all Hallowed Saint Masters. But I must tell you that the great organisations gathered on the Desolate Plane have already begun to look for you through blood tests, so as long as you remain on the Desolate Plane, you will be found sooner or later. If you return to the Radiant Saint Hall with Donglin Yanxue, you will face the risk of being exposed.”

“Once you’re exposed, I think you know very well just what you will be facing.”

“Do you have a better way for me to enter the Tower of Radiance?” Jian Chen remained calm. He had been expecting this.

“Our Martial Soul lineage opposes the Radiant Saint Hall. This is a grievance that has accumulated from our seniors with each generation. We can no longer reconcile, so I can’t help you enter the Tower of Radiance. However, as the eighth successor of the Martial Soul lineage, what you truly should be controlling is Martial Soul Force. You don’t need those cultivation methods in the Tower of Radiance. Although some cultivation methods in there are extremely powerful, enough to be described as world-shaking, you’re not a regular Hallowed Saint Master in the end. And the successors of our Martial Soul lineage cannot break through to Grand Prime even with the greatest cultivation method from the Tower of Radiance, so there’s no need for you to take all this risk to enter that place. Leave with me and return to the Martial Soul Mountain. That would be the safest and most reliable thing to do.” Qing Shan looked at Jian Chen with shining eyes and did his best to persuade him, “The cultivation methods and knowledge on comprehension from the past seniors of the Martial Soul lineage are there. They’re the greatest treasure of our Martial Soul Mountain. They can allow you to gain a clearer recognition of Martial Soul Force and allow you to grasp the method to make Martial Soul Force grow. You’ll be able to use these resources as you wish if you return to the Martial Soul Mountain with me.”

Jian Chen immediately became tempted. As he had never found a suitable cultivation method for Martial Soul Force, his Martial Soul Force remained at a rudimentary level. It was so weak that it posed no threat to Godkings at all. He had considered creating his own cultivation method for Martial Soul Force, but that would require lengthy experiments and verification. It was easier said than done.

The time he had used to grow up to his current level was extremely short. It had only been a few hundred years. He had basically spent all of that time on his Chaotic Body and the Laws of the Sword. He had no placed no time or effort into creating his own cultivation method for Martial Soul Force.

As a result, his Martial Soul Force remained the same as before. It had not grown at all.

But now with Qing Shan’s appearance, he finally obtained an opportunity to make his Martial Soul Force grow. Naturally, it was a tempting offer.

But in the end, Jian Chen still shook his head gently. He turned down Qing Shan and said, “I’ve spent so much effort hiding in the Radiant Saint Hall just to enter the Tower of Radiance. Now that the Tower of Radiance is basically a step away from me, how can I just give up on it? I won’t give up on the Tower of Radiance.”

Qing Shan did not try to persuade him anymore after seeing how Jian Chen had made up his mind. He said, “I’ll teach you a technique. When you want to come to the Martial Soul Mountain, you can use this technique to sense its location. Our Martial Soul Mountain isn’t located on the forty-nine great planes or the eighty-one great planets. Instead, it drifts through the vast outer space. It’s very difficult to find the Martial Soul Mountain without its precise location given your strength.”

“As our Martial Soul lineage has extremely few people, each addition is a huge matter. As a result, I must let my six seniors know about your appearance. As for the legacies for Martial Soul Force, they’re all mental imprints. You can only accept them on the Martial Soul Mountain, so I can’t help you with it…”

With that, Qing Shan left. He ripped open the space of the World of Moon and Star through a special method, forming a spatial tunnel. He vanished through it.

Jian Chen did not leave immediately. He sat down to properly digest everything he had learnt from Qing Shan. Only then did he return to the cave where Donglin Yanxue was.
