The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Flicking Finger 100 Years

From the moment Jing Yan left Guangzhong Hall safely, it was clear to outsiders what Palace Master Xiao Ying’s attitude towards Jing Yan was.

When Yin Tianhe attacked Jing Yan, the Palace Master suddenly ordered Elder Yongming to take Jing Yan to Jidao Palace. Jing Yan stayed at Jidao Palace for a few hours and left unharmed. Even someone a bit slow-witted could see that the Palace Master intentionally wanted to protect Jing Yan.

Yin Tianhe naturally understood this too.

Although he had an overwhelming hatred for Jing Yan, he had no choice but to suppress it for now. Because if he continued to target Jing Yan, it would be a slap in the face to Palace Master Xiao Ying. If he wanted to continue staying at the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, he couldn’t do that.

Palace Master Xiao Ying was the controller of Luo Jiu Divine Palace, its master, standing at the top of the Luli Divine Domain as a Main God-level powerhouse.

”Wait!”

”There will definitely be an opportunity. The revenge of destroying my son’s Dao Palace—I, Yin Tianhe, will never forget!” Yin Tianhe gritted his teeth fiercely, his ashen face filled with a twisted expression.

While Yin Tianhe suppressed his hatred, Chief Guan Lun of Qingmu Department was happy. He had actually been a bit worried for Jing Yan earlier.

He and Yin Tianhe had torn faces. With his ability, trying to protect Jing Yan was indeed somewhat strenuous. Besides, even if he could protect Jing Yan temporarily, he could not protect him forever. How long it would take for Jing Yan to grow to the point where he could fight Yin Tianhe was unknown.

In short, before the Palace Master appeared, protecting Jing Yan was extremely difficult. But now, all difficulties no longer existed.

Yin Tianhe, the old rascal, absolutely dared not lay a hand on Jing Yan again; at least, he didn’t have the guts to kill Jing Yan openly. Not just Yin Tianhe, but others within Luo Jiu Divine Palace who disliked Jing Yan would surely have to put away any small thoughts.

Luo Jiu Divine Palace, Sixth Palace.

”Jing Yan, I’ll take you to here.” Yong Ming looked at Jing Yan with a smile.

”Thank you, Elder Yongming.” Jing Yan turned around and cupped his hands to Yong Ming.

”Why be so polite with me! I remember when we first met at the selection assessment, I thought you were extraordinary and would have great prospects in the future. Now it seems my judgment isn’t bad.” Yong Ming said with a sigh.

”Hehe...” Jing Yan chuckled.

”Well, I won’t say much more, farewell.” Yong Ming said and turned back to the Ninth Palace.

Jing Yan watched Yong Ming leave and turned again, flying towards the Green Wood Bureau Manor.

Director Xu Yan of Qingmu Department’s Sixth Palace was delighted to see Jing Yan return.

”Jing Yan, you’re back?” Xu Yan quickly approached.

”Yes, it was thrilling but safe return.” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”Good to be back, good to be back.” Xu Yan nodded.

Regarding why the Palace Master summoned Jing Yan, Xu Yan did not ask much. Her level was still somewhat low, and such matters were not for her to ask. Moreover, she and Jing Yan’s relationship was not close enough to talk about everything.

Of course, seeing Jing Yan return alive, she was genuinely happy.

After a few pleasantries, the two parted ways.

A few days later, senior officials from the Assessment Department and Human Resources Department of the Seventh Palace came to the Green Wood Bureau Manor in the Sixth Palace, politely handing the Identity Token of the Seventh Palace member to Jing Yan. Jing Yan didn’t need to pass the promotion assessment of the Seventh Palace, directly becoming a member of the Seventh Palace of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

Jing Yan could enter the Seventh Palace at any time.

When the news of Jing Yan becoming a member of the Seventh Palace spread, it naturally caused an uproar.

”The Palace Master really values Jing Yan!”

”Yes, he doesn’t even need to participate in the promotion assessment, directly promoted to the Seventh Palace member.”

”But, Jing Yan is indeed remarkable. Young in age, yet able to defeat a powerhouse like Yin Hua. With such strength, even if he participates in the Seventh Palace promotion assessment, he could pass.”

”Jing Yan’s ranking on the Tianhua List has risen again, from seventh to fourth. Among the top ten Martial Artists on the Tianhua List, Jing Yan is the youngest. The three ranked above him are all over three thousand years old.”

”Yes, with this momentum Jing Yan may soon reach first place on the Tianhua List. Perhaps, he could occupy the top spot for thousands of years!”

The discussions were buzzing inside Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

There were, of course, many envious people. But being envious was useless since now everyone knew that the Palace Master was shielding Jing Yan. Anyone wanting to take action against Jing Yan would be going against the Palace Master. In Luo Jiu Divine Palace, going against the Palace Master was suicidal.

The day after receiving the Seventh Palace member Identity Token, Jing Yan left the Sixth Palace and entered the Seventh Palace, still joining Qingmu Department.

As Palace Master Xiao Ying stated, in the Seventh Palace’s Qingmu Department, Jing Yan could freely use Divine Spring Hall for cultivation. Meaning, he could cultivate in Divine Spring Hall for a thousand or ten thousand years without any objections.

Of course, in the Seventh Palace’s Qingmu Department, currently only Jing Yan enjoys such favorable treatment. Other members, at best, can only cultivate in Divine Spring Hall for four months a year.

Entering the Seventh Palace’s Qingmu Department, after a few days of preparation, Jing Yan entered Divine Spring Hall to start cultivating.

Refining Elixirs, comprehending Law, mental method cultivation among others, all took place within Divine Spring Hall. Except when refining Elixirs, Jing Yan did not operate Moro Time Tower, it ran continuously during other times, maintaining a tenfold time flow.

Jing Yan refined thirty furnaces of Daozhen Pill and gained as many as thirty extremely precious Elixirs.

Refining thirty furnaces of Daozhen Pill exhausted ten drops of Daozhen Stone Milk once again. Jing Yan still had twenty drops of Daozhen Stone Milk left.

Jing Yan planned not to continue refining Daozhen Pill in the short term, saving the remaining Daozhen Stone Milk for emergencies.

As for Vermilion Pill, it was partially refined for cultivation consumption, partially sold for Divine Crystals.

Time passed day by day, month by month, year by year.

Twenty years later, Jing Yan advanced to the two-star True God realm. Eighty years later, he reached the three-star True God realm.

Under Moro Time Tower, Jing Yan’s cultivation time was roughly six hundred years.

Jing Yan’s Source Power had transformed to level six.

After reaching level six Source Power, Jing Yan continued purchasing vast quantities of Source Power for the Body Origin Power to devour, but the Body Origin Power never further transformed. Over a hundred thousand Source Power was devoured, still unable to transform the Body Origin Power to level seven.

Of course, after devouring so much ordinary Source Power, the Body Origin Power’s potency became increasingly strong.

Besides, Jing Yan also spent nearly three billion first-level Divine Crystals purchasing a High-grade Defense Divine Artifact.
