The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000 Not Interested

Jing Yan frowned and stared at Jin Guang.

At this time, outside the Wanbao Hall, there were quite a few people. Especially after hearing Jin Guang’s challenge to Jing Yan, more people stopped to look over.

Among them, there were many chiefs from various departments of the First Palace and martial artists with high rankings in the ranking battle.

”Jing Yan, do you dare to face me in a duel?” Jin Guang waited for a moment, seeing Jing Yan did not respond, he added another sentence, his tone even sharper. Surrounding his body, divine power subtly flowed, with overwhelming fighting intent.

”Jin Guang challenges Jing Yan?”

”Hmm, he is initiating a challenge. I wonder if Jing Yan dares to accept it; Jin Guang is a genius martial artist ranked high on the Celestial List.”

”But Jing Yan isn’t weak either! He even defeated Kuo Shen. Since he’s being challenged by Jin Guang in public, he should accept it, right?”

”It seems there’s going to be a spectacle.”

The voices of discussion around slowly spread out.

Jing Yan simply chuckled, ”Sorry, I’m not interested.”

If he encounters this Jin Guang in the ranking battle, Jing Yan would naturally fight him. But now, accepting Jin Guang’s challenge and defeating him, what does it matter? Moreover, Jin Guang’s strength might be stronger than Kuo Shen; yet in Jing Yan’s view, defeating Jin Guang doesn’t mean much.

During the duel with Kuo Shen, Jing Yan didn’t even use the Divine Artifact Colorful Cloud Sword or the Nihility Divine Ability, yet he easily crushed Kuo Shen. Could this Jin Guang crush Kuo Shen?

”Are you afraid to face me in a fight?” Jin Guang was slightly taken aback upon hearing Jing Yan’s refusal, then spoke again in a forceful tone.

”I said, I’m not interested in fighting you.” Jing Yan shook his head, ”Director Gong Luo, let’s go.”

”Alright!” Gong Luo responded.

The three turned and walked away.

Jin Guang gnawed his teeth, staring at the departing back of Jing Yan. Jing Yan refused his challenge, and he couldn’t attack directly. Although he had just joined Luo Jiu Divine Palace, he was aware of the rules here.

In such a powerful place, random killing is certainly not allowed, or wouldn’t it be chaotic? Random killing, what’s the difference from the wilderness outside Luojiu City?

”Jing Yan actually refused Jin Guang’s challenge?”

”It seems he is timid, afraid of not being Jin Guang’s match.”

”Hmm, surely he doesn’t dare.” Most of the voices around believed Jing Yan didn’t dare to fight Jin Guang.

...

”Director Gong Luo, as you know, I ascended from a low-class world. I really want to know if there are any natives from the same low-class world as me within our Luo Jiu Divine Palace?” Jing Yan asked Gong Luo while walking.

Jing Yan believed that there should be many martial artists from his low-class world who ascended to the God Realm. Especially before the Human God Battle, those in the Saint Realm and Half-step Void God martial artists, wouldn’t they have come to the God Realm through the Void Channel?

So, it is very likely that within Luo Jiu Divine Palace, there would be martial artists from the same low-class world as him. If there are, Jing Yan would want to connect with them.

”Martial artists from the same low-class world as you?” Gong Luo frowned, ”I really don’t know. There are too many low-class worlds. In Quicksand Divine Domain, there are tens of thousands of space nodes, each node connected to ten thousand low-class worlds.”

While speaking, Gong Luo’s eyes flashed, ”However, you can check and see. Let’s visit Elder Bao Tong in the personnel department.”

Bao Tong was the elder previously responsible for the registration site. The selection and assessment had ended, so the registration site naturally didn’t exist temporarily. Bao Tong’s other identity was the personnel department elder.

”Can it be checked?” Jing Yan’s heart moved slightly.

”We’ll try. If there truly is someone in our Luo Jiu Divine Palace from the same low-class world as you, there should be recorded information. We could trace and find clues. But this might take some time. After all, there are too many martial artists in our Luo Jiu Divine Palace.” Gong Luo said.

”That will have to trouble Elder Bao Tong then.” Jing Yan nodded.

”I’m familiar with that old guy Bao Tong, no problem. If he doesn’t help, I wouldn’t agree.” Gong Luo chuckled.

He was able to contact Jing Yan in advance because Bao Tong provided him with exclusive information.

”Director Gong Luo, there is one more thing.” On the way to the personnel department, Jing Yan looked at Mei Qing and then at Gong Luo, ”I want to know what the minimum requirements are for the members recruited by the Qingmu Department, does Fellow Daoist Mei Qing have any hope of joining Qingmu Department?”

Though they haven’t known each other for long, Jing Yan still wanted to do something for Mei Qing.

Gong Luo also looked at Mei Qing, he shook his head and said, ”As it stands, it’s not very likely. The First Palace Ninety-nine Departments have strict requirements for recruiting members. Generally, each department will only recruit two or three members in each selection assessment. Mei Qing’s ranking is a bit low.”

Mei Qing didn’t even make it into the top 3200.

The Ninety-nine Departments recruit two or three people per department, totaling only two or three hundred newbies.

Hearing this, Jing Yan naturally understood.

”Brother Jing Yan, I’m certainly not qualified to enter the Qingmu Department right now. But I will train hard and when I become strong enough in the future to meet the recruitment requirements of Qingmu Department, I’ll join then.” Mei Qing said on the side.

She looked at Jing Yan with eyes full of admiration.

”Fellow Daoist Mei Qing, you must work hard.” Jing Yan smiled.

”Although Mei Qing temporarily cannot join Qingmu Department, I can still help. Hmm, I’ll ask Bao Tong to find a job in the personnel department that Mei Qing can handle.” Gong Luo considered for a moment then said.

”Isn’t this inappropriate?” Jing Yan said.

”It’s no big deal, the personnel department requires a lot of manpower anyway. The important thing is that the rewards for working in the personnel department are not low, not much less than joining the army. Plus, working in the personnel department is very safe, unlike in the army where one has to take risks.” Gong Luo said carefreely.

The personnel department indeed needed a lot of manpower, but getting a job there without connections would be very difficult.

Most of the members of the First Palace do not have this opportunity. A good job is not easy to obtain.

In the personnel department, Jing Yan and the other two met Bao Tong. After explaining their purpose, Elder Bao Tong agreed to help without any hesitation. Bao Tong knew which low-class world Jing Yan ascended from. Furthermore, Bao Tong arranged a job for Mei Qing in the personnel department, handling document sorting.

Jing Yan continuously expressed gratitude, afterward leaving with Director Gong Luo, while Mei Qing stayed in the personnel department. Jing Yan and Mei Qing exchanged communication crystal stone divine soul imprints so they could contact each other directly in the future via communication crystal stones.

”Jing Yan, once there is news, Bao Tong will inform me immediately.” Gong Luo said.

”Hmm, no rush.” Jing Yan nodded.

The two arrived at Qingmu Department, which was in a nicely located estate. Members of the First Palace Qingmu Department all resided here.
