Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3808: The Skyscraping World Opens

Afterwards, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu explained a few other matters worthy of attention regarding the Skyscraping World to Jian Chen before preparing to take his leave.

“Oh right, I have something that I’d like to ask you.” Jian Chen remembered something and suddenly stopped Immortal Exalt Tan Yu who was about to leave.

“Please ask away, fellow. I’ll definitely tell you everything that I know.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu smiled.

“Do you know about puresouls?” Jian Chen asked.

“Puresouls?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu furrowed his brows. “I’ve obviously heard about them before. It’s said that each puresoul is forcefully refined from a soul, erasing all of its owner’s intelligence and memories, refining away all impurities until only the purest power of the soul remains.”

“However, this is a secret technique of the Demons’ World. It’s said that even in the Demons’ World, there’s only a small handful of people that know the technique of refining puresouls. May I ask why you’re asking about this, fellow?”

“I want to know where I can purchase puresouls.” Jian Chen looked at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu in interest, without any attempt to avoid this taboo.

“In the Immortals’ World, there are some members of the orthodox cultivation traditions that oppose the existence of puresouls, so they’re very difficult to purchase openly. However, puresouls do appear from time to time in underground black markets. Although many experts of the Immortals’ World appear to be righteous members of the orthodoxy on the surface, they will secretly consume these items under extreme circumstances.”

“When it comes to this, the deeds of many experts of the Immortals’ World are actually beneath the Demons’ World. Although some people of the Demons’ World commit vicious deeds, at least they’re open about it. However, there are many righteous figures in the Immortals’ World who shout slogans about purging demons and enforcing justice, opposing all demonic deeds. In reality, once the need arises for themselves, they’ll often secretly scheme to gather everything beneficial to them. When it comes to that, they no longer care about what is right or wrong.”

“Puresouls are one of those items! On top of that, that’s a rare and extremely popular item in our Immortals’ World. As long as the price isn’t absurd, they’re sold out basically the moment they appear.”

“That’s because they greatly benefit the soul.”

“Moreover, when it comes to refining some pills beneficial to the soul, adding in puresouls will greatly strengthen their effects and often lead to wonders.”

“However, these underground black markets can’t be accessed on a whim. If you require puresouls, I can send some people to investigate.”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu smiled.

“Then I’ll have to trouble the city lord with investigating this! However, I would like puresouls that have reached the level of Immortal Emperors at the very least!” Jian Chen clasped his fist with a smile. He did not hide anything.

At this moment, he could not help but think of Mo Tianyun. If senior Mo Tianyun were around, obtaining puresouls would not be this troublesome.

He wanted to see if puresouls could heal his soul.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu agreed without hesitation. After returning to the city lord’s estate, he immediately called over vice city lord Qiu Wanqian. He told Qiu Wanqian to personally visit the underground black market and ask about puresouls.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu did not make Jian Chen wait for too long. In just three days, he visited again with news regarding the puresouls.

“Right now, there’s only one puresoul for sale in the underground black market. It’s refined from the soul of an Immortal Emperor. However, the price is extremely high as well. They want one and a half million five-coloured immortal crystals,” said Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

“What? They want one and a half million five-coloured immortal crystals for an Immortal Emperor puresoul?” Jian Chen leapt in fright when he heard the price. After all, it was not supreme grade immortal crystals but five-coloured immortal crystals.

“There has always been more demand than supply for puresouls in the Immortals’ World. As long as it’s not too expensive, they’re sold the moment they appear. All the ones that remain have prices that reach unacceptably absurd levels, which is why this Immortal Emperor puresoul is still available on the market,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said helplessly.

Jian Chen could only give up on it given the price. Let alone the fact that he no longer possessed that sum even if he took all of his immortal crystals into account after purchasing so many heavenly resources from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, he would not spend that much for an Immortal Emperor puresoul even if he did have enough immortal crystals.

After Immortal Exalt Tan Yu left, Jian Chen entered secluded cultivation again to comprehend the Laws of the Sword.

This lasted for twenty years!

However, Jian Chen made insignificant progress on the Laws of the Sword during these twenty years of secluded cultivation.

At his realm of cultivation, each breakthrough was calculated in tens of millennia. If his fortunes had not aligned, even millions of years were not enough to make progress.

The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it was to break through!

“Fellow Yang Yutian, the Skyscraping World will open in ten years’ time, but we have quite a journey ahead of us. We need to set off early.” On this day, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head, interrupting his cultivation.

“Is it finally going to open?” A hint of eagerness appeared in Jian Chen’s eyes. In the next moment, he vanished from the secret room and instantly appeared outside. He gazed into the distance and beckoned softly, “My dear disciple, your training is over. You can come back!”

Hundreds of million kilometres away from the Immortal Rising City, a girl in tattered clothes sat within a dim and damp cave, ingesting some low grade Immortal Tier pills to heal.

She had many wounds on her. A few had even penetrated her entire body. They were terrifying and extremely horrific.

This person was Jing Mumu!

During the thirty years of training, Jing Mumu had undergone an upheaval of emotions. She faced tests of life and death again and again, witnessing the merciless betrayal of close friends and also understanding the complexity of the human heart.

During these thirty years, she was away from her seniors with no one to rely on, roaming the world with only a small number of resources. The experiences she went through, the sweetness and bitterness she encountered, was more than all she had gone through previously combined.

Jing Mumu seemed to be reborn through the thirty years, undergoing a complete metamorphosis. Her strength had not increased much, but her mind was like tempered steel.

Although she still came nowhere close to those ancient freaks who had lived through eons, she had truly matured at least. She had grown accustomed to this brutal world.

As for Jing Mumu’s cultivation, she had successfully reached Golden Immortal!

Golden Immortal in the Immortals’ World was equivalent to Deity in the Saints’ World!

“My dear disciple, your training is over. You can come back!”

At this moment, a voice that Jing Mumu found to be extremely familiar seemed to traverse through space and time, echoing through the cave she was hiding in extremely clearly.

Her eyes had already developed a layer of coldness, but the nostalgic voice filled Jing Mumu’s eyes with mixed emotions.
