In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed since Shen Jian had severed Mo Yun's arm. Although Shen Jian had not officially become the seventh elder of the Mo clan, all the elders in the Mo clan held him in high regard after he displayed his shocking strength. All of them clearly treated him much more warmly, and some of them even showed some respect and admiration.
As his status increased, the elders of the Mo clan would often visit the seventh elder's residence, but without any exception, none of them managed to see Shen Jian. Even Jianchen rarely appeared in the Mo clan. The two of them had entered seclusion together, so the elders who came to visit could only return empty-handed in the end.
Currently, only the patriarch and the ancestor of the Mo clan knew about the strength of Jianchen and Shen Jian. Only the two of them understood that Jianchen, who always kept a low profile, was the most powerful person in the Mo clan.
However, the patriarch and the ancestor kept this information extremely well guarded. They did not let a third person know about it. Even Xi Yu had no idea.
This was because Jianchen and Shen Jian had become the greatest trump card of the Mo clan. They were their greatest reliance. At the same time, they were their greatest trump card against the Lu family and the Ando clan.
During this month, Shen Jian remained in seclusion, working hard to reach mid Deity. Although Jianchen was unable to increase his Chaotic Body, he still comprehended the Laws of the Sword in the secret room.
"I can condense the first strand of Profound Sword Qi at the major achievement of Sword Origin, the second at the great perfection of Sword Origin, the third at the major achievement of Sword Spirit, the fourth at the great perfection of Sword Spirit, and the fifth at the major achievement of Sword Immortal. However, I need to be a Sword God to condense the ninth strand of Profound Sword Qi." Jianchen sat in the secret room as his calm eyes shone with a sharp light. Just the light from his eyes was enough to illuminate the gloomy room.
"The sword spirits said that there is no such thing as minor achievement, partial achievement, or major achievement in Sword God. Sword God is the limit of the Laws of the Sword. In the past, only the old master of the sword spirits and the greatest expert of the Immortals' World, the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, had reached Sword God. It looks like Sword God is equivalent to the hundredth layer of the laws of the Saints' World," Jian Chen thought. A hundredth layer of laws was the limit. A supreme figure like that had already fused with the laws, becoming an existence akin to the laws of the world. They represented one of the three thousand ways, becoming supreme and extremely terrifying.
"Sword God is still far too distant from me. I only hope to reach the great perfection of Sword Origin right now. Once I reach the great perfection of Sword Spirit, I'll be able to condense a second strand of Profound Sword Qi. Not only will it increase the power of my first strand of Profound Sword Qi, but I'll also be able to use two strands of Profound Sword Qi at the same time. Back then, the ancestor of the Lu family only managed to survive by using several defensive treasures to block my first strand of Profound Sword Qi with his strength as an early God. If he did not have those defensive treasures, he might have even been slain by my first strand of Profound Sword Qi. If I reach the great perfection of Sword Origin and the Profound Sword Qi becomes even more powerful, it'll be impossible for an early God like the ancestor of the Lu family to block a single strand of Profound Sword Qi as long as it's not something too extraordinary. If I use two strands of Profound Sword Qi, I might even be able to kill mid Gods directly, "Jian Chen thought. His heart was filled with eagerness and desire. Since he was unable to increase his Chaotic Body, the only way he could increase his strength was to make a breakthrough in his comprehension of the Laws of the Sword.
If he could reach the great perfection of Sword Soul and condense a second strand of Profound Sword Qi, there would be less than a handful of people who could threaten him even in the Dong 'an province.
"I've already reached the major achievement of Sword Soul for quite some time. I'm only a step away from perfection. I just need a little more time, and I'll be able to reach it." Jianchen's gaze deepened. Every single step that other people took to comprehend the Laws of the Sword was extremely difficult, requiring a long period of time. However, in Jianchen's eyes, he only needed a tiny bit of time that seemed insignificant to other people if he wanted to take a step further with the Laws of the Sword.
After all, Jianchen's talent was extremely great, and his affinity with the Laws of the Sword was extremely great. He was basically a natural master of the sword.
At this moment, a powerful presence suddenly appeared nearby. At the same time, the origin energy in the surroundings began to surge, forming a tremendous swirl of origin energy above the seventh hall a while later.
"Shen Jian has broken through!" Jianchen's eyes lit up as he immediately emerged from seclusion.
At the same time, the six elders who were in seclusion in the other six halls opened their eyes at the same time. They looked at the seventh hall, and all of them were shocked.
"This is Shen Jian's presence. Shen Jian has actually broken through again?"
"How can Shen Jian's cultivation speed be so fast? He's only been an early Deity for so long, yet he's already reached mid Deity."
"Just how does Shen Jian cultivate? In just a few months, he's gone from early Deity to mid Deity. If this continues, he won't need much longer to become a God. Why is his talent even more impressive than Xi Yu's?"
.....
None of the elders of the Mo clan were able to remain composed. They all stared at the seventh hall in shock. Only the patriarch remained the same as before, as if all of this was only natural.
The patriarch and the six elders had all gathered outside Shen Jian's hall. They had come to congratulate Shen Jian on his breakthrough.
There were only a few Godhood elders in the Mo clan. To them, every single step forward was an extremely difficult matter. As a result, whenever an elder broke through, it would be a joyous occasion in the Mo clan.
The white-robed Jian Chen stood in the centre of the hall with his hands behind his back. Although he did not give off any presence at all, he gave off the feeling that he had become a sharp sword. Jianchen's gaze was no longer as calm as before. Instead, it had become extremely sharp, like an unsheathed sword, shining with the sharpness it should possess.
He had already waited for several months for Shen Jian to break through to mid Deity.
Jianchen looked outside the main entrance. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the various obstructions, allowing him to see the patriarch and the six elders standing outside. His lips moved slightly, and he said to the guards at the entrance secretly, "Let them return. Say that Shen Jian is continuing his seclusion and is unable to receive guests."
A peak Reciprocity guard immediately hesitated when he heard Jian Chen's message. After all, these people were all the Godhood elders of the Mo clan. Even the patriarch of the Mo clan was present. However, the hesitation only appeared for a split second before vanishing from the guard's face. He left politely and passed on Jianchen's message to everyone.
The patriarch did not mind at all. After chuckling aloud, he clasped his fist towards the seventh hall before leaving with Xi Yu. He was not displeased at all.
The rest of the Godly State Elders also smiled embarrassedly and returned to their palaces.
"Shen Jian is even more arrogant than me …" Xi Yu followed beside the patriarch. She was rather displeased. If Shen Jian refused to see the other elders, she would not mind at all. After all, Shen Jian did indeed possess the strength to do so. However, he had even refused to see her foster father. That was a little too much.
After all, her foster father was the patriarch of the Mo clan.
"Yu 'er, don't be rude!" However, before Xi Yu had even finished speaking, the patriarch of the Mo clan suddenly stopped her.
The patriarch's face changed slightly as he walked beside him. He immediately scolded him sternly.
Xi Yu was stunned. She rarely saw such a serious expression on her foster father's face.
"Foster father?" Xi Yu was rather confused. Even if Shen Jian was very powerful, able to sever Mo Yun's arm with a single strike, there was no need for her foster father to act like this.
The patriarch was stern. He said to Xi Yu, "Yu 'er, you have to be polite to brother Jianchen and brother Shen Jian in the future. You have to be more respectful. You can't make the two of them unhappy. Do you understand?" With that, the patriarch directly left.
He had watched Xi Yu grow up, so he trusted her greatly. Although he could not directly tell her about Jianchen and Shen Jian's strength, he had already secretly expressed some things to Xi Yu through this method.
Xi Yu stared at her foster father's back as she thought about what her foster father had said before. She became surprised and doubtful.
