Chaotic Sword God-Chapter 3698: Mysterious Figure
“However, the Dragon Blood Fish have already developed intelligence. Even though they’re not powerful, they completely witnessed everything that occurred here, so their intelligence cannot remain,” Jian Chen said. Shortly afterwards, he extended a finger, and two streaks of resplendent light pierced the water and continued right to the bottom of the pool.
Spurt! Spurt!
The two strands of sword Qi pierced the heads of the Dragon Blood Fish. It did not kill them, but it did shatter their intelligence and memories, leaving them in an ignorant and simple-minded state.
“Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, you’re an expert in this field. Check them personally. We can’t let these Dragon Blood Fish maintain any memories,” Jian Chen said to the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt nodded before turning into a black cloud that dove into the bodies of the Dragon Blood Fish, wiping out the final, residual memories left in them.
Several seconds later, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul returned. “Alright, we’re completely safe now. I can guarantee you that even if a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt interfered, they would not find even a fragment of a memory from these Dragon Blood Fish.”
Having lost all their memories and intelligence, the Dragon Blood Fish were like wild beasts that had not achieved self-consciousness yet. Their eyes were unfocused, completely surviving based on their instincts.
“However, the terrifying presence from the fusion of the twin swords still lingers in the surroundings. How do you plan on dealing with it?” the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt asked.
“You don’t have to worry about this. I have my methods. Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, there’s no more business here for you anymore. You better return to the Primeval Divine Hall. Use whatever heavenly resources you need to use and return to peak condition as soon as possible.”
Afterwards, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt returned to the Primeval Divine Hall and began using the resources he had obtained from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to rebuild his body and heal his soul.
Jian Chen took out the powder he had shaved off from the Fortune God Jade. Each grain of dust shimmered with faint light, varying in colour.
He split his soul into millions of strands. Each strand controlled a grain, making them float before spreading out thirty metres apart. He filled the space with the grains.
The powder possessed part of the Fortune God Jade’s power. It silently interfered with all the laws within a radius of thirty metres, slowly purifying all the presence and traces that lingered within its vicinity.
After a dozen or so days, all of the traces and presences within the vicinity of the powder had been completely purified.
Jian Chen began moving the powder, continuing onwards to the next region.
Just like that, Jian Chen busied about for a total of one and a half years and finally erased all of the lingering presence in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
By now, it was no longer possible to sense any of the traces left behind by the twin swords when they fused together.
The area had already been cleansed by the ways. Even after merging one’s soul with the surroundings and achieving a deep connection with the ways, it was not possible to see the past here.
During this period, Jian Chen also attempted to find the sovereign god artifact of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Disc of Sun and Moon. He knew the Disc of Sun and Moon was hidden in the space in the surroundings, but despite everything he tried, he was still unable to find the sovereign god artifact. Even closely sensing the space there with the power of the Spatial Insect Emperor’s soul failed.
As a result, Jian Chen could only give up on the damaged sovereign god artifact.
“I can finally leave without worry. There’s still a year before the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants return. I sure do want to see how they respond then.” Jian Chen hovered in the air and glanced at the bleak sect one last time before taking out the five tablets and activating them with the method that the Heavenly Talisman Venerable had told him. He opened the protective formation around the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and left calmly.
With Jian Chen’s departure, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants sank into deathly silence. There were no longer any signs of life.
However, the deathly silence only lasted for a few seconds before breaking. A blurry figure silently appeared in the sky. It was an illusionary figure, where their facial features were obscured, so it was impossible to discern their gender.
They seemed to have merged with the surroundings, becoming a part of the ways, where each move they made possessed endless power.
Suddenly, the illusionary figure raised their hand gently. Ripples appeared in the sky over the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, producing waves after waves like a rock hurled into the water.
The hand seemed to reach into space and time, crossing through endless worlds. It moved across immeasurable distance, through the past and the future. It reached towards somewhere unbeknownst to all.
Gradually, something illusory slowly appeared in their hand. The item did not seem to exist in this world. It only seemed to exist in the past and the future, having been forcefully retrieved through the long river of time by a force that could shape universes.
The item was the damaged sovereign god artifact of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the Disc of Sun and Moon.
The Disc of Sun and Moon faded into existence before the illusionary figure grabbed it.
At this moment, the Disc of Sun and Moon was dim. Its pressure as a sovereign god artifact was all but gone, as it had not been replenished with energy. As a result, its glow as a sovereign god artifact was not awakened either.
However, when the Disc of Sun and Moon entered the hand of the illusionary figure, multiple scenes immediately sprang forth from the artifact.
The scenes recorded everything that had occurred in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. It was like a video camera, hiding in the shadows and taking record of everything.
It was not just the scenes of Jian Chen’s battle. There was also everything that occurred in the past million years within the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants before Jian Chen arrived.
The records seemed to be a result of a natural function of the Disc of Sun and Moon. Even without abundant energy, its ability to record remained unhindered.
At this moment, the illusionary figure’s hand trembled gently. With that, part of the scenes recorded by the Disc of Sun and Moon immediately shattered.
All of the images and all of the scenes that occurred in the past ten thousand years had been erased.
The illusionary figure let go of it, and the Disc of Sun and Moon seemed to pass back through the past and the future, going back into hiding.
In the next moment, the illusionary figure silently appeared above the pool where the Dragon Blood Fish lived. They hovered three metres above the water.
They closed their hand gently. Countless specks of light immediately gathered from the rippling pool surface, the surrounding shore, and even some of the barren mountains in the distance.
In the end, the light gathered before the illusionary figure, turning into two illusionary fish.
That was part of the Dragon Blood Fish’s intelligence. They were very clever. As if they knew the fate awaiting them, they prematurely stripped away part of their intelligence, scattering it in the wilderness to evade Jian Chen and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s search.
But at this moment, the pair of illusionary Dragon Blood Fish’s eyes were filled with fear, constantly bowing their heads and pleading before the illusionary figure like they were people.
The illusionary figure did not do anything more as they silently gazed at the intelligence of the Dragon Blood Fish, reluctant to destroy it.
Several seconds later, the illusionary figure let out a gentle sigh. They still raised their hand in the end and waved it through the air casually.
With that, the intelligence of the Dragon Blood Fish immediately collapsed, dispersing in the surroundings.
