Chapter 1248: Sword Thief

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the end, Life and Death Lightning Tribulation descended. Jiang Chen felt as if he was falling endlessly into a netherworld. The feeling became even more intense when Jiang Chen discovered that his body was dying.

“You didn’t prepare well. Yet, you still wanted to cross Life and Death Lightning Tribulation.” The voice, which had warned Jiang Chen previously, echoed once again, and it seemed flustered and exasperated. Even though Jiang Chen had received a warning, he had acted belatedly and wasn’t able to turn the tide.

When Jiang Chen’s name was about to be added to the list of people who had been killed by Life and Death Lightning Tribulation, the Doctrine Heart inside his body started throbbing. It gave rise to a chain reaction, and the Heavenly God Lightning erupted. The falling feeling disappeared, and Jiang Chen was taken aback by this for a moment. Then his eyes started shining brightly. His body turned into lightning, and he thrust his fist forward, which gave rise to a loud, rumbling sound. At this, the world descended into silence, the scenery around him returned to normal, and he reappeared in the Blood Sea Realm. Jiang Chen was back!

…..

Jiang Chen stroked his chin while wearing a pensive look. All ten of his Constellation Palaces in his Starry Sea became connected and formed a long line. If one had been able to observe them carefully, one would have noticed that the Constellation Palaces formed a bridge leading to the Martial Dais. The Martial Dais was the brain of cultivators.

When one was in the Star Venerable Realm, one’s ten Constellation Palaces’ energy would flow into the Starry Sea and would be released from it. But now, the ten Constellation Palaces’ energy was flowing into the Martial Dais. A Martial Emperor could use the Martial Dais to obtain martial techniques and Doctrine Methods and to release divine might. Everything originated from one’s will and thoughts—in other words, the brain. When a Star Venerable used martial techniques, the brain controlled the body while the Starry Sea became the energy source. But the appearance of the Martial Dais changed this order, and everything went through a qualitative change.

I have succeeded! Since Jiang Chen possessed a Martial Dais, this meant that he was already a Martial Emperor. The four martial-grade Realm System existed because of the Martial Dais.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, it’s unexpectedly an Immortal Dais—as expected of a person I have taken a liking to.”

As Jiang Chen was feeling overjoyed, the voice that had warned him previously echoed out once again, and it was filled with malice.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically. He was now able to detect where this voice came from. It was from one of his magical clones. A connection had been forcefully established between his main body and the magical clone’s mind, and someone wanted to use this connection to occupy and control Jiang Chen’s brain. It’s body possession!

Jiang Chen had become a Martial Emperor only with great difficulty, and there was no way he would offer everything he had to someone else. But he was having trouble finding a way to defend against this magical clone. His opponent’s body possession technique was quite superior and brilliant. Jiang Chen figured out that what he needed to do was not to resist him, but to find a way to survive so that he wouldn’t be wiped out by his opponent.

“It’s useless. It isn’t a question of the disparity between us, but the fact that you don’t know any way to deal with this.” That evil voice spoke complacently.

Even though Jiang Chen wasn’t willing to admit this, he was still aware that his opponent wasn’t mistaken. “That may not be necessarily true.” Jiang Chen didn’t resign himself to his fate. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and started reading the Solar Tathagata Scripture. As Jiang Chen started using the scripture, a Buddhist Halo appeared behind his head.

“Ahhh!” The magical clone started crying out in pain. The Buddhist Sacred Scripture was the bane of all evil beings.

Jiang Chen managed to get the upper hand and started erasing his opponent’s consciousness. He also managed to get his opponent’s memory through this process. The magical clone was a Blood Clan Hibernator—in fact, a Blood Emperor. The Blood Emperor didn’t want to stay trapped, so he turned into an evil spirit that wanted to steal and possess a Sacred Lord’s body and use it to leave this place. When the Blood Emperor sighted upon the defenseless magical clone, he couldn’t contain himself any longer, and he possessed it. It was only after he had succeeded that he realized that it was just a magical clone. The main body would need just a single thought to erase the magical clone, and it was also the case for the being who had stolen such a body.

This was why the Blood Emperor had gotten rid of restrictions and started trying to get in contact with the main body. However, he didn’t expect at all that the main body would be crossing a Life and Death Lightning Tribulation. This was why he didn’t dare to attack him. When the evil spirit witnessed that the main body was about to be killed by the Lightning Tribulation, he was forced to speak and warn him.

Jiang Chen was surprised to discover that it wasn’t a single Hibernator who had done this, and he could see that many Blood Clan members had turned themselves into evil spirits.

“My clan is eternal!” When the Blood Emperor realized that his memory was being examined, he decided to burn up his consciousness so that Jiang Chen couldn’t continue looking into his memory.

After Jiang Chen had dealt with such a thorny problem, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then he noticed another grave issue. “Where are my swords? Jiang Chen discovered that his two swords had disappeared. However, it was fortunate that he could still detect the two swords’ approximate locations, and he could guess that they had been stolen.

“Jiang Chen, are you all right?” The Azure Demon and Black Dragon showed themselves. Since Jiang Chen had recited a Buddhist Scripture, the spiritual and draconic beings managed to detect it.

“I’m fine, and I have just run into an evil spirit who wanted to imitate you,” Jiang Chen said.

“He wanted to snatch your body?” When the Azure Demon had run into Jiang Chen for the first time, he also intended to steal his body. But he also failed due to the Buddhist Scripture. It was for this reason that Jiang Chen could be considered experienced in these matters.

“An Immortal Dais?” Jiang Chen recalled what the evil spirit had said, and a pensive look appeared on his face. Just as Star Venerables had four different Qi, it was also the case for Martial Daises. They were divided into human, spirit, earth, heaven, and immortal ones. The Human Clan’s divine body needed to cross a Life and Death Lightning Tribulation, and the one that had gotten by him was obviously the most outstanding one.

It’s a whole new world. What Jiang Chen needed to do now was to get familiar with the Immortal Dais and improve himself.

But first, let’s go to retrieve the swords.

A magical clone detected the swords’ locations and went to look for them. But, worth mentioning, the magical clone was still a ten-star expert because it didn’t cross the tribulation. However, if Jiang Chen erased this magical clone and created another one, it would possess a Martial Emperor’s power. However, Jiang Chen was absorbed in his Immortal Dais and didn’t consider this matter thoroughly. By the time he recalled it, the magical clone had already been flying for an hour.

Fine, fine. As Jiang Chen pondered it, he realized that he would need to erase this magical clone sooner or later, and that was why he just let it continue traveling. Moreover, since he could detect the Doctrine Swords’ locations, he didn’t need to bother with ascertaining if the clone was going in the right direction.

The second area? After Jiang Chen had been flying for a while, he discovered that he had reached the edge of the Blood Sea Realm. If he proceeded farther, he would reach the second area, where external power couldn’t be used. He didn’t consider this matter too much and entered the second area, getting closer to his two Doctrine Swords.

It’s fortunate that they are still together. Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be glad that his Doctrine Swords weren’t in different locations. It would have been problematic for him if one was in the east and the other in the west.

…..

When people appeared in front of him, Jiang Chen observed the situation carefully, and he quickly discovered that he didn’t need to look for the thief very far because he immediately saw the person holding his swords. This person was in a group, and they were now fighting other people. These other people included someone whom Jiang Chen had desired to see even in his dreams.

“You say that those swords are yours. You obviously stole the swords.”

The person holding the Heavenly Fault Sword was a woman, and she was a primary-stage Martial Emperor. This was also the average level of her team members.

“One of those swords is called Heavenly Fault, while the other is called Red Cloud.” The person opposing the thief was also a woman, and she was beautiful and aloof and seemed like a celestial immortal. This was Ye Xue, and there were both Star Venerables and Martial Emperors with her.

“If you say that is the case, how do I know it’s true? You can make up anything you like.”

The person holding the Red Cloud Sword was a youth. He coveted Ye Xue for her beauty, so he was making fun of her. At this moment, he still wasn’t aware that he had already taken a step into the gates of hell.

Disgust appeared on the face of Ye Xue, and the ambiance became quite tense.
