Chapter 3541: Setting Off for Observance Heaven City
In the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens, many core disciples had mixed expressions. In a sect as lacking in resources as the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, it had obviously taken them an extremely long time to reach Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. As a result, everyone present apart from Jian Chen was familiar with Chen Shifang who had appeared over a hundred thousand years ago.
“Of all the times that news about Chen Shifang could reach us, it just happens to be now. Is this a set up?”
After a moment of silence, a core disciple raised the question.
“This is fishy. Sect master, elder Nong, be careful of this being a trap.”
“Chen Shifang’s enemies have even reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Monarch. Doesn’t that mean that Chen Shifang is an Immortal Monarch now? If our sect gains an Immortal Monarch, it’ll strengthen us drastically.”
“We can’t count our chickens before they hatch. We aren’t even certain whether this Chen Shifang even exists.”
......


The core disciples present spoke up. All of them remained doubtful about the news regarding Chen Shifang. There were also people who were more hopeful about it. They believed that with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ current strength, there was completely no need for them to fear any Immortal Monarchs anymore.
“Elder Nong, what are your thoughts regarding the news about Chen Shifang?” Sect master Chen Shuzhi looked at elder Nong as his eyes shone.
“It’s still difficult to tell whether it’s a trap or not, but the presence inside the jade slip does indeed belong to Chen Shifang, and it was definitely left behind quite recently,” elder Nong said sternly. His eyebrows were already firmly locked together.
“Elder Nong, could I take a look at the jade slip?” Jian Chen suddenly asked.
Elder Nong tossed the jade slip over to Jian Chen without uttering a word. Jian Chen grabbed it and immediately sent the senses of his soul inside.
Chen Shifang was a young man in his late twenties. He had white hair, dressed in white clothes. His face was stern with a pair of long, straight eyebrows. His gaze was like swords, giving off a sense of sharpness.
Jian Chen could not help but furrow his eyebrows when he saw Chen Shifang. Chen Shifang’s appearance was extremely unfamiliar to him, but he did sense a hint of familiarity from the presence in the jade slip.
It was as if he had sensed this presence somewhere before, but he never took particular note of it. As such, he did not have a particularly deep impression.
“This presence indeed belongs to an Immortal Monarch, but I’ve only come to the Immortals’ World recently. I’ve only encountered so many Immortal Monarchs along the way from the Grand Sovereign Heaven to the Reverent Observance Heaven. I should be able to recall them all. He’s definitely one of the Immortal Monarchs I encountered along the way,” Jian Chen thought as he sorted through all the Immortal Monarchs he had met so far.
At this moment, Jian Chen shuddered slightly inside. He finally recalled exactly where he had sensed this familiar presence.
“It’s actually the Observance Heaven City. Yes, when I first entered there, I sensed the presence of a few Immortal Monarchs, but I never took particular note of it. Chen Shifang’s presence was one of the Immortal Monarchs I had sensed inside the Observance Heaven City.”
“When I first set foot in the Observance Heaven City, he was already there.”
For a moment, Jian Chen’s heart surged. As he already knew that an Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would set up a trap against elder Nong, he immediately knew that this was the trap of Chen Shuzhi’s great uncle when Yan Yun came to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with Chen Shifang’s news.
Obviously, he assumed that Chen Shifang was not someone who existed.
But looking at it now, perhaps the situation was quite different from how he imagined it to be.
Just as Jian Chen sank into his thoughts, elder Nong suddenly stood up and said, “Gather the auxiliaries and activate the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain!”
Very soon, all of the core disciples and auxiliaries gathered on the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
“Assemble the Constellation Formation!”
Under elder Nong’s orders, the core disciples immediately assembled the formation, summoning the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain hidden in the space there.
“We’re actually summoning the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain again? Didn’t the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens just destroy the four organisations and inherit all of their resources? They’re not lacking immortal crystals at all right now, so why did they summon the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain again?”
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is very wealthy right now. Not only do they possess many coloured divine crystals, but they even have several immortal crystal mines. The immortal crystals they gather each day is already more than they can use, so I struggle to imagine why they would still go to such lengths to summon the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.”
“Activating the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain is a laborious job. Each activation uses up over eighty percent of my energy.”
Gazing at the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain that appeared out of nowhere, the auxiliaries who had already grown accustomed to the peaceful days immediately became pained. None of them were particularly happy about this.
In the next moment, under everyone’s combined efforts, they powered a high quality god artifact, the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain!
Immediately, they activated the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, causing spiritual Qi to surge violently from the surroundings.
With a swing of his hand, twenty dim jade swords appeared above the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.
The tremendous amount of spiritual Qi drawn over by the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain split into twenty strands that all entered the small jade swords.
Elder Nong was clearly replenishing the Great Spatial Sword Formation’s energy.
Without the four organisations stopping them, they could activate the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain as they pleased without any worries.
“Elder Nong, the sect no longer lacks immortal crystals. Are we unable to replenish the Great Spatial Sword Formation’s energy through immortal crystals?” Chen Shuzhi asked in confusion as he gazed at the small jade swords that furiously absorbed energy.
Elder Nong glanced at Chen Shuzhi. Despite being unhappy with him, he still spoke up to explain, “The Great Spatial Sword Formation is incomplete. It’s lost many of its functions. I’ve tried many methods, but it’s impossible to use immortal crystals to replenish its energy. Right now, I’m only aware of two methods. One of them is to assemble the Great Spatial Sword Formation and let the sword formation recover by itself. The other is to use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.”
“However, the Great Spatial Sword Formation and the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain are highly compatible with one another. Using the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain to replenish the Great Spatial Sword Formation is the fastest method that I know.”
“Sect master, give them some recovery pills. We’ll be activating the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain for several days at the very least this time.”
Several days later, elder Nong left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens alone with the Great Spatial Sword Formation and the stone golem, setting off for the Observance Heaven City.
Before he left, a core disciple had suggested that elder Nong could ask the Immortal Devouring Orchid to go with him, but the core disciple was denied by Chen Shuzhi under the reason that it needed to protect the sect.
After elder Nong left, Chen Shuzhi stood inside the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens and stared blankly in the direction that elder Nong had departed in. His face was extremely mixed.
After quite a moment of silence, he let out a gentle sigh in the end and murmured, “Farewell, elder Nong
