The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Cannot Miss

Over a hundred years ago, when Senior Brother Xiao Ying met Jing Yan, he mentioned that Luo Jiu Space would open after a century.

Calculating the time, it truly is about time.

”Please come inside, everyone!” Jing Yan invited Guan Lun and the others into the room.

Every time Luo Jiu Space opens, the quotas for cultivation inside are very limited. In the Qingmu Department, there is only one fixed quota to enter Luo Jiu Space. If it weren’t for the personal recommendation from the Palace Master, the chance of this quota falling to Jing Yan would truly have been slim.

Guan Lun and others subsequently entered Jing Yan’s room and sat down one after another.

”Brother Jing Yan, Luo Jiu Space is a cultivation sacred land of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace; it is incomparable to the Divine Spring Hall. However, every time Luo Jiu Space opens, it cannot accommodate too many people. According to regulations, our Qingmu Department has only one quota for entering Luo Jiu Space this time. Several days ago, the Palace Master transmitted a message to me, instructing me to give this quota to you,” Guan Lun said to Jing Yan directly after sitting down.

Jing Yan noticed Guan Lun’s expression seemed a bit unnatural. He couldn’t help but wonder, does Chief Guan Lun really not want to give this quota to me?

Jing Yan thought that his relationship with Guan Lun should be quite solid. On the day he eliminated the Yin Hua Dao Palace, when Yin Hua’s father Yin Tianhe attacked him, Guan Lun did not hesitate to fall out with Yin Tianhua in order to protect him. Jing Yan did not forget this kindness.

”Chief, how many people can enter Luo Jiu Space each time it opens?” Jing Yan pondered for a moment before asking.

”There are always one hundred fifty people who enter Luo Jiu Space each time,” Guan Lun said.

”Only one hundred fifty can enter?” Jing Yan furrowed his brow.

Only one hundred fifty quotas, that really is quite little. No wonder the Qingmu Department only has one quota to enter Luo Jiu Space.

”Indeed. This is out of necessity. Luo Jiu Space is a special secret realm that even the Palace Master cannot completely control. One hundred fifty entrants is already the limit. Not even one more person can enter. Luo Jiu Space maintains itself with mysterious order, and even the Palace Master cannot alter it,” Guan Lun sighed lightly.

Hearing Guan Lun’s explanation, Jing Yan understood. It is not that the Luo Jiu Divine Palace does not want more people in Luo Jiu Space; it simply cannot allow more to enter.

”Our Qingmu Department has only one fixed quota; what about the other departments?” Jing Yan nodded and asked again.

”Departments like the Water Moon Department have two quotas. Of the Ninety-nine Departments, there are altogether one hundred twenty quotas. The remaining thirty are flexible quotas, and members of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace must compete for them,” Guan Lun explained.

”Thirty flexible quotas... then the competition must be fierce,” Jing Yan instinctively nodded.

”It’s extremely fierce; even the Chief Officers of the Eighth Palace will be vying for these thirty flexible quotas,” the Qingmu Department Director added.

”Brother Jing Yan, to be honest, my original intention was not to allocate Qingmu Department’s quota to you. Based on previous situations, the ideal candidate to enter Luo Jiu Space is a Six-star True God. A Six-star True God entering Luo Jiu Space once has a significant chance to advance to a High-level True God. You are currently only a Low-level True God; entering Luo Jiu Space at most might only elevate you to an Intermediate True God,” Guan Lun shook his head as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yan understood why Guan Lun’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

If not for Palace Master Xiao Ying’s transmission, Guan Lun truly did not plan to give this quota to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan could understand Guan Lun; the quota is extremely precious. If given to a talented Six-star True God within the Qingmu Department, there would be a significant chance of elevating a High-level True God.

Because he understood, Jing Yan did not harbor any dissatisfaction towards Guan Lun. Guan Lun’s openness in sharing his thoughts with Jing Yan indicated he had no personal agenda and sincerely aimed to strengthen the Qingmu Department.

Only due to the Palace Master’s order, he had to give this quota to Jing Yan. He came this time simply to notify Jing Yan to prepare himself to enter Luo Jiu Space in half a year.

”Chief, I want to know about the situation in competing for flexible quotas,” Jing Yan thought for a moment before speaking.

”The competition for the thirty flexible quotas will take place in about three months. The application process has already begun. The application lasts a month and has commenced a few days ago. There are twenty-plus days left before the application concludes. All member’s names who apply to compete for cultivation inside Luo Jiu Space will be sent to the Jidao Palace for the elders to review. This review takes about two months, and after it concludes, those who pass the review will compete using martial combat to obtain one of those thirty quotas,” Guan Lun explained.

”Then... I am applying to compete for the flexible quotas,” Jing Yan said with a gleam in his eye.

”What?”

”Jing Yan, you want to compete for a flexible quota?”

Guan Lun and the others were slightly taken aback. Jing Yan’s words totally surprised them.

The Palace Master himself had spoken, instructing Guan Lun to give this permanent quota to Jing Yan, meaning Jing Yan had absolutely no need to participate in the flexible quota competition.

The key point lies in the fierce competition for these flexible quotas, which will involve numerous Six-star True Gods. What does Jing Yan have to compete with them for one of those thirty quotas?

”Yes, I want to give it a try,” Jing Yan smiled and said.

”Jing Yan...” Guan Lun chuckled bitterly, ”These thirty flexible quotas are incredibly difficult to obtain.”

He implied that Jing Yan simply stood no chance of acquiring one of the flexible quotas.

”Yes, historically without the cultivation of a Six-star True God Realm, there’s no hope of obtaining a flexible quota,” the Qingmu Department Director added.

The two Chief Officers also looked at Jing Yan with an expression of helplessness. Both of them were planning to compete for the flexible quotas, and both were Six-star True Gods.

”I know it’s difficult, but what if I succeed? If I manage to obtain one flexible quota, then I can give one quota back to Qingmu Department. If I fail, I will still use the fixed quota from Qingmu Department,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

Jing Yan certainly has his personal motives.

Entering Luo Jiu Space is very important to him. He isn’t willing to give up this opportunity easily. If the competition for flexible quotas fails, he will still use the fixed quota from the Qingmu Department. Regardless of the results of the competition in three months, Jing Yan will undoubtedly enter Luo Jiu Space. If he misses this chance, who knows how long it will be before he reaches the High-level True God Level.
