Chapter 3656: All Gathered

After ending his conversation with the Immortal Devouring Orchid, Jian Chen returned to the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and sat in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens alone, watching the sect through the senses of his soul and monitoring the situation with the sect’s migration.

When it came to migrating the sect, some of the disciples who had joined the sect recently obviously had no objections. From their perspective, it was the same no matter where they cultivated.

However, some of the original members of the sect that had been around for many years had quite the opinion about migrating the sect. Many of them even went to find elder Nong personally to object.

After all, no one in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could rival elder Nong’s prestige.

However, elder Nong also understood exactly what kind of danger the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was facing. He had already reached the same train of thought as Jian Chen. After explanations composed of both truths and lies, he finally managed to shut everyone up.

However, that also allowed Jian Chen to see some problems. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens still was not completely unified as one. Even when he had won everyone’s respect as the current sect master, that was only respect on the surface for this identity.

In reality, many of the disciples still looked up to elder Nong more than him, which was why some people would question the orders he passed.

However, Jian Chen also understood that if he wanted to establish his influence, he could not do so overnight. After all, in the eyes of many disciples, he had only just reached Immortal Monarch.

Afterwards, the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens busied about. Many disciples worked on moving bricks and tiles, dismantling the structures one by one. They did not spare anything of value as long as it could be taken away with them, not even a single brick.

The medicinal garden that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had devoted large amounts of spiritual Qi to set up was destroyed as well. Chunks after chunks of soil with spiritual Qi was dug up, and unripe heavenly resources were moved away.

“Sigh, the sect poured quite a lot of resources into these medicinal fields. Many of these medicinal herbs are about to evolve. With this, several hundred years of hard work has gone down the drain.” A core disciple responsible for watching over the medicinal garden sighed. His face was filled with pain.

Jian Chen was not unfamiliar with him. His name was Jin Sang. He had been heavily injured during the battle against a prodigy from the Sword Sect of Starling Thunder. After a thousand years of recovery, he had returned to his peak condition.

Jin Sang stood outside the medicinal garden as he stared at the disciples busying about helplessly. He could not help but think of Jian Chen who had joined the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as an auxiliary. He experienced very mixed emotions.

In the beginning, Jian Chen had joined the sect as an auxiliary. Afterwards, he had formally joined the sect to fend off the prodigies of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, becoming one of the core disciples. After that, he was elevated to the position of young sect master due to various reasons by the sect master at the time, Chen Shuzhi.

He did not remain as the young sect master for very long before he became the new sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens under the full support of the two Immortal Monarchs of the sect, elder Nong and elder Chen.

Jian Chen’s identity had changed in such an overwhelming manner in such a short amount of time, which felt quite surreal now that Jin Sang recalled all of this.

Now, with an order from Jian Chen, even the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had begun to make preparations to migrate. Several hundred thousand people throughout the entire sect busied about.

Despite the losses, they could not defy him.

That left Jin Sang sighing inside.

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens moved extremely efficiently. In just a few short days, the entire sect was cleaned out. The externally-recruited auxiliaries were all dismissed after receiving their compensation too.

Jing Yao from the Black Demon Palace, Jiang Nan of the Jiang family, and Chen Feng of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords all left the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

At this moment, Jing Yao, Jiang Nan, and Chen Feng stood outside the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with differing expressions on their faces.

“What’s wrong with the sect master’s head? Why are they migrating for no good reason?” Jing Yao was filled with indignation as she hovered in the air and complained.

Jiang Nan was indifferent. He said nothing. On the other hand, Chen Feng’s expression was mixed. He said sternly, “Perhaps it’s the best choice for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to migrate.” Reaching there, he suddenly sighed and said, “I didn’t think the sect master would actually chase me away at a time like this. Doesn’t he know that it’s better for me to remain in the sect?”

When he heard that, Jiang Nan looked over and glanced at Chen Feng in a puzzled manner. “Chen Feng, aren’t you a core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? Why have you been expelled?”

“That’s because I’m a disciple of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords,” Chen Feng said helplessly.

“The Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords? Which Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords? Don’t tell me it’s the one from the twelve courts of heaven?” Jiang Nan was astounded. He stared at Chen Feng in disbelief.

Jing Yao also covered her mouth. She was tongue-tied.

Chen Feng nodded. He stared deeply at the entrance of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens before turning around and sighing gently. “My mission is complete. It seems to be the time for me to return as well now.”

At this moment, almost three hundred thousand disciples gathered near the main peak with Space Rings filled to the brim. Afterwards, under Jian Chen’s orders, they all entered the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens.

The Divine Hall of Violet Heavens had become enormous at this moment. It was a low grade god artifact after all. The space inside was vast enough. When it came to holding disciples, it could even fit several million, let alone a measly three hundred thousand.

Several hundred thousand disciples flowed through the entrance of the divine hall in single file from weak to strong.

Jian Chen stood on the top of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. As he watched the disciples gradually decrease beneath him, the worries weighing on his heart seemed to slowly dissipate.

Afterwards, he looked at a certain space above the main peak and murmured, “Now, the only thing that can’t be taken away is the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain that’s merged with the space here.” Jian Chen had no better ideas for the time being regarding the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. He could only wait until he had assembled fifty thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals; then he could assemble a simplified version of the Divine Formation of the Heavens and use the power of the formation to forcefully sever the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain from the space here.

“Sect master, basically all of the disciples have entered the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Where are we headed off to now?” At this moment, the core disciples gathered together. After bowing towards Jian Chen, one of them spoke up.

It was possible to see their cluelessness towards the future on their faces.

Jian Chen did not say anything. He continued to stare at the space where the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain was hidden. Who knew what he was thinking.

Around five seconds later, he seemed to return to his senses. Looking at the core disciples before him, he said, “Gather the disciples, assemble the Constellation formation, and draw out the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain!”

“Yes, sect master!”

The core disciples looked at one another, but they answered together very soon.

Before long, twenty core disciples assembled the Constellation formation, opening up a spatial crack. The pressure of a high quality god artifact immediately radiated out.

The Energy-gathering Divine Mountain hidden in the space there slowly appeared.

At this moment, many core disciples raised their heads. Even elder Nong and Chen Shifang were no exception. Everyone was doubtful about what he was trying to do by activating the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain at a time like this.

Jian Chen did not give any explanation. Instead, he rose up in the air and hovered before the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain slowly. Afterwards, he planted both hands on the mountain and slowly channelled tremendous Chaotic Force into the mountain in an extremely discreet manner.

“The sect master is trying to refine the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain?”

“The Energy-gathering Divine Mountain is a high quality god artifact. You need to be an Immortal Emperor at the very least to refine a high quality god artifact, and you need an extremely great amount of time.”

“The sect master has only just reached Immortal Monarch. He’s nowhere near capable of controlling a high quality god artifact.”

“Sigh, even if he refines it successfully, we probably won’t be able to take the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain away with us.”

Some of the disciples seemed to notice what Jian Chen was after as they began to discuss.
