Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3214: Opening the Altar (Two)

After distributing the final batch of Godking pills, the Darkstar Emperor waited another three years before finally passing the orders, making the twenty or so major cities that had just recovered their strength to formally choose the thirty-six lords and hundred and eight kings.

Immediately, great platforms were erected in those cities. Under the watch of thousands, the competition formally began. Many Godkings clashed intensely on the platform, beginning a fierce struggle for the positions of the thirty-six lords and hundred and eight kings.

Without any exception, all the competitors were members of the Darkstar race raised by Godking pills. It had been several hundred years since the first batch of people consumed Godking pills compared to the last batch.

However, to the Darkstar race whose strength grew extremely slowly, even a few extra centuries made no major difference.

They fought over the empty positions fervently.

Meanwhile, Jian Chen and the Darkstar Emperor sat within the Darkstar Divine Hall, sipping tea as they waited for the positions to be filled.

“This tea seems to be the legendary Comprehension Tea. This tea even possesses a unique presence and power. That should be the legendary Xuanhuang Qi.” Gazing at the steaming cup of tea before him, the Darkstar Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was surprised.

“I didn’t expect you to know about Comprehension Tea and Xuanhuang Qi despite all this time in the Darkstar World.” Jian Chen glanced at the Darkstar Emperor in quite some surprise before drinking his cup. He shut his eyes slowly and said, “Drink it while it’s hot, or the presence of ways will constantly disperse, reducing its efficiency.”

“We may have been trapped here for countless years already, but we do have many records passed down through the times after all. We obviously have plenty of records about Comprehension Tea and Xuanhuang Qi that regular cultivators do not come into contact with.”

“However, these items are only legends to us. No one has seen it for themselves. You may be from the Saints’ World, so you can find these items as long as opportunity permits, but the organisations from the Saints’ World will never wish to see our strength grow. As such, they will never allow any heavenly resource with Xuanhuang Qi to end up in the Darkstar World.”

“As a result, even for me, this is the first time I’ve seen Comprehension Tea and Xuanhuang Qi.” As he said that, the Darkstar Emperor drank the tea in his cup. Extremely dense laws immediately filled his face.

The Darkstar Emperor immediately found the laws of the world that originally seemed to be misted over clear up.

Under this state, comprehending the laws of the world would become several times easier.

The Darkstar Emperor shut his eyes and experienced the sensation closely. He had an expression of intoxication as he murmured, “Comprehension Tea truly is a rare item that assists people in comprehending the ways. Comprehension through Comprehension Tea truly is much easier.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

“However, it’s useless for me.” When he reached there, the Darkstar Emperor sighed gently and said, “I’ve already remained at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime for an extremely long time now. Just in terms of my age, most Grand Primes from the Saints’ World can only be considered as my juniors.”

“If it were not for the laws set down by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits, why would I have been stuck at my realm of cultivation for so long? Under the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits, I won’t be able to reach Chaotic Prime even with the assistance of Comprehension Tea.”

The Darkstar Emperor’s voice was filled with a deep sensation of powerlessness.

“Apart from the great ceremony, is there really no other way that can assist you in breaking through?” Jian Chen asked.

The Darkstar Emperor shook his head and said, “Unless a sovereign of the Saints’ World personally takes action and destroys the prison around us, we can only rely on the great ceremony.”

“However, not only does this prison possess the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits, but it also possesses the power of the Grand Exalt of our race. Once sovereigns of the Saints’ World take action, that’s equivalent to facing the combined attack of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits and the Grand Exalt of the Darkstar race.”

“Under the power of two Grand Exalts, even sovereigns of the Saints’ World may end up heavily injured, so very few sovereigns of the outside world bother with our matter. With their lofty status, why would they endure such a heavy cost just to free us?”

“Of course, the most important reason is that the fate of our Darkstar race has nothing to do with the sovereigns of your Saints’ World. There’s nothing that we possess that can interest sovereigns either,” the Darkstar Emperor said.

Jian Chen nodded in agreement. He knew the Darkstar Emperor was absolutely correct about this. With the heights that Grand Exalts had reached, very few items in the world still interested them. If there were no benefits, sovereigns of the Saints’ World obviously would not risk becoming heavily injured or pay a tremendous price to do something that was completely meaningless to them.

He also understood that while the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World seemed aloof, that was not actually true. Once their interests became significant enough, even sovereigns of the world that had become embodiments of the heavenly ways would throw their lives at one another like regular people.

The Neptunean Divine Palace of the past was an example. In order to prevent the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths of the Saints’ World from forging a weapon of startling power, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt of the Immortals’ World stooped low enough to lay his hands on the Daoist Sect of Neptunea.

In the end, the Daoist Sect of Neptunea that enjoyed its age of prosperity and possessed a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime simply met its end, unable to put up any resistance.

The resources in the Darkstar race could attract various peak organisations like the ones that formed the Hundred Saint City, but it could not interest organisations with Grand Exalts.

Afterwards, Jian Chen took out some first or second grade God Tier Comprehension Tea to receive the Darkstar Emperor. With his current cultivation, first or second grade God Tier Comprehension Tea no longer had much of an effect on him. He could only treat it as a luxury.

Just like that, the two of them enjoyed the tea as they waited for the birth of the thirty-six lords and the one hundred and eight kings.

That wait lasted half a month. Half a month later, the twenty-odd cities that had recently recovered their strength had chosen their thirty-six lords and hundred and eight kings.

With the matter settled, the Darkstar Emperor immediately passed an order, mobilising the power of the thirty-six major cities again to open the altar.

No one dared to defy the Darkstar Emperor. In the Darkstar race, the Darkstar Emperor was a paramount monarch. Every single word he uttered could decide the fate of the entire race.

With the Darkstar Emperor’s order, the capital city immediately became busy. In the air, the ten divine halls had already switched positions, forming a tremendous formation.

Beneath the ten divine halls were the thirty-six lords and one hundred and eight kings from each of the thirty-six major cities. Under the lead of the various city lords, they established many formations.

Jian Chen sat in the air nearby. The Laws of Space pulsed around him, such that he seemed like he resided in a different space. No one could notice him.

He sat there alone and waited silently.

They were only opening the altar this time and not holding the great ceremony like before, so the preparatory work and steps involved were much simpler.

Very soon, the Darkstar Emperor’s dignified voice rang out from the Darkstar Divine Hall, “Open the altar!”

With that, the thirty-six city lords all became solemn. They formed various seals and used secret techniques. At the same time, a series of resounding voices echoed through the surroundings.

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Windless City...”

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Darkhell City...”

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Duoye City...”

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Darknight City...”

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Blacklight City...”

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Dark Phoenix City...”

“Opening the sacrificial altar—drawing the power of the Soul Severing City...”

......

...

As the voices of the thirty-six city lords rang out, powerful columns of energy immediately rose up from the major cities scattered in the distance. They emitted dazzling light as they crossed through the air before directly descending onto the capital city.

In the next moment, all of the city lords, thirty-six lords, and hundred and eight kings formed seals. Pouring their strength together, they condensed a formation that could control the power of the various cities before directing the thirty-six columns of light directly into the air.

The thirty-six columns of light were like thirty-six keys that opened a sealed door. When the columns of light reached ten thousand metres into the air, a colossal crack immediately opened up in the empty space there. An altar was gradually exposed from the crack.
