C.3491: An Impoverished Situation
Under the envious gazes of the other auxiliaries, the woman in black was brought to see the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. A disciple led her there without any obstructions.
Jian Chen had already explored the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with the senses of his soul. He understood the entire situation of the sect. There were no secrets that could escape the senses of his soul.
In the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens right now, the strongest formation was the protective formation on the level of First Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors.
The strongest divine hall was only a low quality god artifact.
As a result, the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was basically transparent in Jian Chen’s eyes.
“The person cultivating inside the divine hall should be the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.”
“Apart from the sect master, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch as well.”
“There are a total of two Immortal Monarchs here, both early Immortal Monarchs.”
“There’s not a single Immortal Emperor.”
“Apart from the twenty auxiliaries recruited this time, there are only around thirty Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. From their cultivation methods, many of these people aren’t actually disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. They should also be auxiliaries recruited from outside.”
“There are around a hundred Xuan Immortals.”
“Around two hundred Daluo Golden Immortals.”
“Around two hundred Golden Immortals.”
“And thirty thousand disciples in total beneath Golden Immortal.”
“On top of that, the heavenly resources planted carefully in the medicinal garden of the sect are all below God Tier in terms of quality. The garden itself is not particularly large.”
Jian Chen sighed inside over the current situation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. In the Immortal Region of Green Plains on the Grand Sovereign Heaven, he had communicated with Immortal Emperor Taihang, one of the three great elders of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Back then, he had already gained a rough understanding of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ strength.
During that age, including Immortal Emperor Taihang, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had a total of three Immortal Emperors and numerous Immortal Monarch elders. They obviously had even more Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.
But looking at the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens now, let alone Immortal Emperors, they only had two remaining even when it came to their Immortal Monarchs.
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has been oppressed far too miserably.” Jian Chen thought of when the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens recruited disciples. The Immortal Sect of Sword Control had watched like a hawk, taking away any talented disciples without any hesitation. As time went on, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was unable to recruit any talented disciples, so they obviously struggled to produce any experts. As time went on, they faced decline.
“With the message from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, no one’s bold enough to destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but under this oppression, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has struggled to achieve anything. They probably don’t even need any external organisations to do anything, and the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will face destruction by itself before long,” Jian Chen sighed inside. The Immortal Sect of Sword Control was right near the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The place where their sect stood had once been the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ territory too.
As a result, the senses of his soul had infiltrated the interior of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control a long time ago. He observed the complete situation there.
The Immortal Sect of Sword Control was not particularly powerful. They were not even as great as the three organisations from the Immortal Region of Green Plains. Their strongest expert was just a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
It was completely impossible for an organisation that only had a single Immortal Emperor to offend the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in such a brazen fashion, so he was extremely certain that an even more terrifying existence stood behind the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, secretly controlling everything.
“There are four organisations scattered around the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The Immortal Sect of Sword Control is only one of them. The others are the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset.”
“The strengths of these four sects are roughly equivalent. They all have an Immortal Emperor. Together, they form an encirclement around the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
“However, I can be certain that these four organisations are only puppets. Then who are the people controlling them? Is it the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?”
“There’s also the Mistress of Contrary Winds from the Wind clan and the Immortal Feather sect of the twelve courts of heaven.”
“Sigh, looks like there’s a long path ahead of me to revive the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Jian Chen sighed inside.
If the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ enemies were just the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, then he could destroy them with a flip of his hand.
Let alone the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, even the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset were not enough to raise his attention.
The issue was destroying these sects would draw out the larger organizations behind them.
He still could not afford to offend any tremendous organisations with Immortal Exalts right now.
“Fellow Jian Chen, this is where you can cultivate in peace now. I’ll send a female disciple over if you have any instructions,” Jin Sang brought Jian Chen over to a wooden hut and said to him extremely politely.
After a simple conversation, Jian Chen entered the wooden hut, and Jin Sang left with the dozen or so other auxiliaries.
The wooden hut was very simple. There were no fancy decorations, only the heavy smell of plants from the mountains.
Perhaps the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already declined to the point where they could not even spare an immortal artifact palace.
However, Jian Chen was content with it. He made his way straight in and sat down.
At the same time, a low quality god artifact divine hall stood in the depths of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shuzhi, formally received the woman in black.
“I am a disciple of the Black Demon Palace from the Taiji Heaven. Greetings, sect master.” The woman stood before the sect master and bowed before taking out a Space Ring and passing it over. “These are some resources that my master specially told me to bring with me. It is master’s good intentions, as well as the Black Demon Palace’s good intentions. Please accept it, sect master!”
Chen Shuzhi was a scholarly middle-aged man. He gave off a sense of righteousness, seeming incorruptible. He looked at the woman in black at eye level before turning his attention to the Space Ring. He sent the senses of his soul inside and immediately discovered many resources that could even tempt Immortal Monarchs.
The sect master let out a great sigh and said, “Over the years, many disciples from your Black Demon Palace have come to my Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Every time, you bring with you a tremendous amount of resources, alleviating the dire problems that our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens face. I must thank your seniors from the Black Demon Palace.”
“You’re too kind, sect master. Master once said that the old palace master of the Black Demon Palace had been saved by the Grand Exalt of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. If it were not for the Grand Exalt, the Immortals’ World would probably no longer have a Black Demon Palace. As a result, regardless of what happens to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, our Black Demon Palace has always stood resolutely with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. However, given the current circumstances, our Black Demon Palace is unable to directly stand forward and assist the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. We can only deliver some resources secretly, so please forgive us for this, sect master!” Jing Yao said politely.
“It’s not a problem, it’s not a problem. The seniors of your Black Demon Palace have done all that they can.” The sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens accepted the Space Ring. Afterwards, he called over a core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and directly passed the Space Ring over to him. “Go and split the resources in the Space Ring. Leave part of them to maintain the protective formation and allocate the rest between the disciples.”
“Yes, sect master!”
......
…
Several hundred kilometres away, Jian Chen, who sat in the wooden hut, was slightly sorrowful. He murmured, “Ten blocks of supreme grade immortal crystals, several thousand heavenly resources, and several hundred pills that haven’t even reached God Tier. Has the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens declined to the point where they even need these resources provided to them?”
In the next moment, Jian Chen split the senses of his soul into thousands of strands. Each strand was like a needle, piercing the Space Rings of all the disciples in the sect.
In the end, his heart convulsed viciously because he discovered that all the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that belonged to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were basically impoverished. They did not have a lot of resources in their Space Rings.
Meanwhile, any single auxiliary that they had recruited externally possessed far more cultivation resources than any of the core disciples.
