Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3390: Disciple of a Sovereign

Jian Chen turned towards the Jade Heaven Ruler. His gaze was mixed as he said, “Jade Heaven, once you go to the Spiritsages with the Wind Venerable, just stay there and cultivate. If the opportunity arises, we’ll see each other again.”

“Aren’t you coming with us? Where are you going?” The Jade Heaven Ruler looked at Jian Chen gloomily with a hint of reluctance.

“I should be leaving the Saints’ World very soon, to a very, very distant place.” Jian Chen gazed into the distance in a daze.

His identity had been completely exposed. The Saints’ World no longer had any place where he could stay, so he was forced to leave.

The Jade Heaven Ruler fell silent. She simply stared at Jian Chen in a trace. After a good while, she let out a lengthy sigh.

People who had cultivated for as long as her obviously understood many facts of life. They understood that many matters in life were already decided by fate and could not be changed.

Jian Chen suddenly bowed deeply towards the Wind Venerable and pleaded with him. “Senior Feng, I have one more unreasonable request. I hope you can take good care of Jade Heaven once she joins the Spiritsages.”

“Sigh, look at you. Didn’t I just say that there’s no need for us to be so polite with each other? Why are you acting like this again so soon?” the Wind Venerable said rather helplessly. Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, a gentle force immediately lifted up Jian Chen.

“Jian Chen, you have nothing to worry about. I’ve taken note of everything that’s occurred between you and this lass in the Wood Spirits World. Just the fact that this lass is willing to give up the Source of Life and directly give you the great fortune that could alter her entire life has touched even me.”

“Since this lass is willing to do so much for you, you owe her, so I obviously can’t just ignore this. As a result, let me pay her back what you owe her.”

The Wind Venerable did not treat Jian Chen as an outsider at all. He basically treated Jian Chen even more closely than he would a grandson.

As he said that, the Wind Venerable turned towards the Jade Heaven Ruler. Despite how kindly he treated Jian Chen, he immediately became solemn and said seriously, “I’m willing to accept you as my disciple. Lassie, would you like that?”

The Jade Heaven Ruler was taken aback. The rest of the Chaotic Primes in the Wood Spirits were taken aback as well. They were stunned.

In the Wood Spirits World, they were all lofty rulers, supreme existences that could make the world tremor from a stomp of their feet.

Meanwhile, the Jade Heaven Ruler was the strongest among them. Not only was she a Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, but she also possessed twelve ancestral imprints.

In terms of strength, they stood no chance against her even if they worked together, as the Jade Heaven Ruler had already given them a beating in the space of tests earlier.

Yet right now, someone wanted to accept the Jade Heaven Ruler as a disciple. As people who spent most of their lives standing above others, they struggled to adjust to such a great change, leaving them stunned.

Meanwhile, Jian Chen was shocked as well. He had never thought that the Wind Venerable would actually make an exception and take the Jade Heaven Ruler as his disciple because of him.

After all, that was the disciple of a sovereign. The significance behind that was far too great. That was a major event great enough to rock the entire Saints’ World and lead to congratulations from many peak organisations.

Throughout the Saints’ World, there were only so many sovereigns, so any word or action from them would draw the attention of countless.

Seeing how the Jade Heaven Ruler was still in a daze, Jian Chen immediately urged her. “What are you waiting for? Accept him as your master. Don’t you know what it means if you become senior Feng’s disciple? Your new identity will be so great that even the extremely powerful archaean clans won’t dare to touch you in the Saints’ World.”

“Moreover, the entire Wood Spirits race will rise up in status tremendously in the Spiritsages because of this identity.”

The Jade Heaven Ruler immediately gathered her thoughts and bowed towards the Wind Venerable.

However, she seemed extremely awkward throughout the entire process. She seemed extremely unnatural.

In the Wood Spirits World, she was a lofty ruler. She controlled the fates of billions, yet now, she was forced to bow to her master, which she struggled to adjust to.

She had yet to adjust her mentality from when she controlled the world.

“Alright. From now onwards, you are my disciple.” The Wind Venerable laughed, completely ignoring these details.

“Senior Feng, I want to see Shen Jian,” said Jian Chen.

“He’s currently at a critical juncture in his secluded cultivation and making a breakthrough for a minor realm of cultivation, so it’s inconvenient for you to disturb him.” The Wind Venerable smiled amicably towards Jian Chen and asked, “If I’ve guessed correctly, you want to find Shen Jian probably because of the servant who’s been following you for all this time.”

“You’ve guessed correctly, senior. It is indeed for him.” Jian Chen nodded. “Xia Jianming has helped me plenty during the time I spent in the Wood Spirits World. Now that I’m leaving, I want to find a fine place of belonging for him.”

“That’s easy!” The Wind Venerable laughed. Shortly afterwards, the force of the world flashed by, and Xia Jianming’s figure suddenly appeared there.

“I just happen to be in need of a servant to handle some miscellaneous matters. Xia Jianming, are you willing to follow me and help me with them?” the Wind Venerable asked.

Jian Chen blanked out with that. He was deeply touched once again.

He was well aware that neither the Jade Heaven Ruler nor Xia Jianming possessed the right to stand behind a sovereign.

The reason why the Wind Venerable treated them like this was completely for him.

Sovereigns never accepted disciples so easily, as the height that they stood at was far too great. They were virtually embodiments of the laws. Very few geniuses could raise their interest.

Similarly, they rarely took on servants. After all, why would they need any? Even if they did, just how many people were qualified enough to become their servants in the entire Saints’ World?

Yet in the end, because of him, the Wind Venerable had accepted Jade Heaven as a disciple first before accepting Xia Jianming as a servant. What kind of grace was that?

Jian Chen was deeply moved at this moment. The Wind Venerable had done far too much for him.

On the other side, Xia Jianming also began to tremble out of excitement. He had already learnt just how great the Wind Venerable was in the Saints’ World from Jian Chen.

Becoming a sovereign’s servant was an unparalleled honour to him.

Afterwards, the Wind Venerable left with all the clansmen in the Wood Spirits World. The Wood Spirits World immediately became empty.

Jian Chen did not leave with them. He remained there. He wandered through the Wood Spirits World aimlessly. He passed through the Peace region and wandered through the Scarlet Blood Domain, Jade Centre Domain, and Grand Heaven Domain. He saw a series of deserted cities.

In the end, he arrived in the ocean.

At this moment, the ocean was deathly silent as well. All the spiritual and sacred beasts that lived there were gone, having been taken away forcefully by the Wind Venerable.

At this moment, there were no organisms left apart from the trees and flowers.

Strolling through this empty world, Jian Chen was filled with melancholy.

After all, this was a place that he had stayed in for several centuries.

“I should leave here as well once I condense the sixth strand of Profound Sword Qi.” Jian Chen let out a sigh. Before he knew it, he had already returned to the Peace region. Afterwards, he found a large rock in the centre of the square in front of the Divine Palace of Peace and sat down on it. He began to condense the sixth strand of Profound Sword Qi.
