Chapter 1705: Mid Deity
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Shen Jian severed Mo Yun’s arm. Although Shen Jian had not formally become the seventh elder of the Mo clan, all the elders in the clan held him in high esteem after he revealed his shocking strength. Everyone became clearly more enthusiastic towards him, and they even possessed more admiration and politeness.
With the increase in his status, the elders in the Mo clan would often visit the seventh hall to see him, but without any exceptions, they all failed to see Shen Jian. Even Jian Chen rarely appeared in the Mo clan. Both of them had entered secluded cultivation, so the visiting elders could only leave without seeing anyone.
Among the people of the Mo clan, only the patriarch and the ancestor of the Mo clan knew just how powerful Jian Chen and Shen Jian were. Only they understood that Jian Chen, who always maintained a low profile, was the strongest.
However, the patriarch and the ancestor guarded this secret extremely tightly. They did not tell a third person, not even Xi Yu.
This was because the existence of Jian Chen and Shen Jian had become the greatest trump card of the Mo clan. They were their greatest source of confidence, as well as what they would rely on the most against the Lu family and the Ando clan.
Shen Jian had remained in secluded cultivation for the entire month, working towards mid Deity. As for Jian Chen, he had entered seclusion to comprehend the Way of the Sword as he could not make any progress with his Chaotic Body.
“I can refine the first strand of Profound Sword Qi at the major achievement of Sword Origin and the second strand at great perfection. I can refine the third at the major achievement of Sword Spirit, the fourth at the great perfection of Sword Spirit, the fifth at the major achievement of Sword Immortal and so on. However, if I want to refine all nine strands, I’ll have to reach Sword God.” Jian Chen’s calm eyes shone sharply like swords as he sat within the room. Just his gaze had illuminated the gloomy room slightly.
“The sword spirits said that Sword God is no longer divided into minor achievement, partial achievement, and major achievement. Sword God is the limits of the Way of the Sword. Countless powerful immortals across the entire Immortals’ World use swords, but only the old master of the twin swords and the Nirvanic Sword Immortal were able to reach Sword God. Looks like Sword God is equivalent to a hundred percent of the laws in the Saints’ World,” Jian Chen thought. Comprehending a hundred percent of the laws was reaching the limit. Someone who could achieve that would have already fused with the way itself, becoming part of the world and representing the way. They would be supreme, an extremely terrifying existence.
“Sword God is still too distant for me. I only wish to reach the great perfection of Sword Origin right now. Once I reach that, I’ll be able to refine the second strand of Profound Sword Qi. Not only will it strengthen the first strand I possess right now, but I’ll be able to use the Profound Sword Qi twice as well. Back then, the ancestor of the Lu family had only managed to survive my first strand of Profound Sword Qi with his strength at early God and after wasting away several defensive treasures. If he did not possess those defensive treasures, my first strand of Profound Sword Qi might have slain him. If I reach the major achievement of Sword Origin, the Profound Sword Qi will become powerful enough to deal with the ancestor of the Lu family. Even if he has defensive treasures, they won’t be able to stop my Profound Sword Qi as long as they’re not astoundingly great. If I use both strands, I might even be able to kill mid Gods,” Jian Chen thought. He was filled with eagerness. Under the situation where he could not make any progress with his Chaotic Body, the only way for him to become stronger was to break through with his comprehensions of the Laws of the Sword.
If he reached the great perfection of Sword Origin and refined the second strand of Profound Sword Qi, there would be less than a handful of people left in the Dong’an province that could threaten him.
“I’ve already remained at the major achievement of Sword Origin for quite some time now. Great perfection is only a step away, so I’ll be able to reach it as long as I have some more time.” Jian Chen’s eyes became extremely deep and profound. It was extremely difficult for other people to make any progress in the comprehension of laws, and they would require lengthy periods of comprehension. However, Jian Chen only needed a period of time that seemed insignificant to other if he wanted to make any progress in the Laws of the Sword.
After all, Jian Chen’s talent was exceedingly great. He was extremely compatible with the Way of the Sword, basically making him a natural expert of the sword.
At this moment, a powerful presence suddenly appeared nearby. At the same time, the origin energy in the surroundings began to churn, forming a tremendous whirl of origin energy before long around the seventh hall in the Mo clan.
“Shen Jian has broken through!” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up and he immediately emerged from seclusion.
At the same time, the eyes of the six other elders all snapped open at the same time in their own residences. They looked towards the seventh hall, and they were all shocked.
“This is Shen Jian’s presence. He actually broke through again?”
“How does Shen Jian cultivate so quickly? He only reached early Deity a few months ago, yet he has broken through to mid Deity already.”
“How does Shen Jian cultivate? It has only been a few months, yet he has gone from early Deity to mid Deity. If this continues, it won’t be long before he reaches God. How is his talent even more impressive than Xi Yu’s?”
