Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2329: Substitution Under the Nose of Heaven (One)

“What? Get the artifact spirit of the saint artifact to devour the remaining power of the Tower of Radiance and make it become the new artifact spirit? Can artifact spirits devour and fuse with each other?” Jian Chen jumped in fright from Qing Suo’s words; this information was just too shocking. It surprised even Jian Chen.

After all, this was basically stealing a peak god artifact, and it was robbery within the sacred hall that had the strictest security in the entire Tower of Radiance. Such a matter was completely reckless.

But soon afterwards, excitement sprang up in Jian Chen’s heart silently. He suddenly realised that if the artifact spirit of the saint artifact really became the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance as Qing Suo had said, he would basically become the new master of the Tower of Radiance.

If that happened, he could control the Tower of Radiance through the artifact spirit. He would be able to take whatever he wanted from the tower.

“Qing Suo, getting the artifact spirit of the saint artifact to replace the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance shouldn’t be that simple, right? After all, the difference in strength is just too great. They’re on two completely different levels.” Jian Chen calmed down very soon. He knew that replacing the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance would not be easy.

If the replacement could be performed so easily, the Tower of Radiance probably would have fallen into the possession of the past leaders already.

“That’s right. It’s indeed very difficult, difficult to the point where basically no Grand Prime can achieve anything like this. However, that doesn’t mean Zi Ying and I can’t do this. Master, you can’t forget that Zi Ying and I are spirits transformed from single strands of yin and yang Qi when chaos split. We possess our unique aspects. We might never be able to grasp the techniques of some Grand Primes, but we also have some techniques that even Grand Exalts who have basically become a part of the ways cannot grasp,” said Qing Suo.

Zi Ying thought about something for a while and added, “If the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance was only injured, replacing him would have been impossible. However, his situation right now is horrendous. He has collapsed, and his consciousness has almost dispersed. He isn’t even self-aware now. He’s just a ball of the most basic power. You can basically interpret him as dead. Even if he recovers, he’ll develop a completely new consciousness. He won’t possess his past memories.”

“You can say that there are extremely strict conditions to replacing spirits of the universe. First, the artifact spirit must end up in a state like the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance, and secondly, they must be replaced by something of the same origins.”

“The artifact spirit of master’s saint artifact evolved from a strand of Radiant Saint Force origin energy through a complicated process. Even though he’s at an extremely low level, he just happens to share the same origins as the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance, so this condition is fulfilled.”

“Thirdly, the Origin of Ways left behind by Grand Exalts passing away in cultivation is required. During the replacement process, the Origin of Ways can create harmony and promote the fusion of the two artifact spirits.”

“Lastly, there needs to be a reversal of yin and yang and a disruption of laws. We need to elude the heavens before finally completing the substitution…”

“But where are we going to find the Origin of Ways…” Jian Chen became pained when he heard them mention the Origin of Ways. He happened upon the Origin of Ways from when the ancient Skywolf had passed away in cultivation on a desolate planet. However, he had already absorbed it, leaving not a single strand behind.

“Master, Qing Suo and I also collected some of the Origin of Ways from the ancient Skywolf. We have always been holding onto this Origin of Ways. Originally, we prepared it for master’s breakthrough to a supreme realm of cultivation, but it looks like we can’t wait until then. We can only let the artifact spirit of the saint artifact benefit from the Origin of Ways we collected back then.” Zi Ying’s voice rang out, “Although the Origin of Ways is precious and basically something that can only be found through luck, if the artifact spirit really succeeds, it won’t be a waste.”

“We already have the Origin of Ways. As for the reversal of yin and yang and the disruption of laws needed to complete the secret substitution, leave that up to Zi Ying and me. However, Zi Ying and I still haven’t recovered our power, so we’ll still need master’s help when the time comes. We won’t be able to perform it alone. Of course, whether the artifact spirit succeeds in the replacement will be up to its own fortune. If he succeeds, the artifact spirit will undergo an evolution from its very core and reach a whole new level, truly becoming the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance. However, if he fails, he will die and truly disperse.” Zi Ying became stern towards the end.

Jian Chen pondered about it and said, “I’ll ask the artifact spirit. Whether we attempt this or not will be up to him.” Afterwards, Jian Chen immediately communicated with the artifact spirit of the saint artifact, telling him the sword spirits’ thoughts.

As soon as the artifact spirit heard Jian Chen’s suggestion, he agreed excitedly. He did not hesitate at all.

For him, becoming the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance was equivalent to a puny cultivator suddenly gaining a body that was basically invincible. This temptation was just too great. Even if just the slightest carelessness would doom him forever, he was unable to suppress his urge to become powerful.

“Chang Yang, what’re you staring there for? Do you feel uncomfortable?” At this moment, Donglin Yanxue’s voice rang out from beside Jian Chen.

Donglin Yanxue could not help but ask in concern when she saw how Jian Chen stood there blankly.

Jian Chen shook his head gently and replied, “I’m fine. I just want to walk around and find my own fortune.”

“I’ll accompany you,” Donglin Yanxue said gently.

“There’s no need. I want to walk around by myself,” Jian Chen declined the offer without any hesitation at all. With that, he used the Radiant Wings to leave, vanishing into the dense mist in the blink of an eye.

Donglin Yanxue remained where she was, blankly staring in the direction that Jian Chen had vanished into. She was gloomy, unable to hide her depression.

As for Jian Chen, he no longer held back after leaving Donglin Yanxue. He unleashed his full speed and headed towards the depths of the sacred pavilion.

He knew that once the sword spirits truly began the process to replace the artifact spirit, there would be a huge disturbance. No one knew what would happen. As a result, he needed to travel far away enough from Donglin Yanxue and the eight protectors to stop them from coming over and exposing his identity.

After all, exposure at such a time would not be as simple as revealing his ability to wield Martial Soul Force. It would be revealing the existence of the sword spirits.

As a result, he could not allow anyone to witness the sword spirits performing the substitution.
