The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: Safe Haven

Su Ji naturally would not believe Xiao Ying’s words that Jing Yan is not in Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

”Jing Yan truly is not in Luo Jiu Divine Palace. He left not long ago,” Xiao Ying said.

”It seems Palace Master Xiao Ying is forcing me to act. In that case, I can’t be blamed,” Su Ji spoke, while taking out the Dead Spirit Sacred Order.

A pressure emanated from the Dead Spirit Sacred Order, causing everyone present to turn pale.

”Su Ji, if you don’t believe, you can investigate for yourself. I have already disabled all the restrictions inside and outside Luo Jiu Divine Palace. You can easily use your Divine Thought to inspect the entire Nine Palaces. After that, you will naturally know whether my words are true or false,” Xiao Ying had long anticipated that Su Ji wouldn’t easily believe that Jing Yan had left, so before leaving Luo Jiu Divine Palace, he disabled all space restrictions within it.

”Oh?” Su Ji felt a bad premonition arise in his heart.

Could it be that Xiao Ying is telling the truth?

However, when he arrived at Luojiu City, Jing Yan should have still been inside Luo Jiu Divine Palace. Upon reaching Luojiu City, he immediately sealed off the entire city; where could Jing Yan possibly hide?

Looking at Xiao Ying’s demeanor, Su Ji actually believed Xiao Ying’s words somewhat; Jing Yan might indeed not be inside Luo Jiu Divine Palace now.

He had already grasped Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Aura, meaning that even if Jing Yan hid within a small, mobile world, his Divine Thought could still sense Jing Yan by passing through that small world.

Though he held some belief in Xiao Ying’s words, Su Ji still immediately released his Divine Thought to investigate the entire Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

With the restrictions in Luo Jiu Divine Palace disabled, his Divine Thought could traverse freely without any obstructions, investigating the upper and lower Nine Palaces without wasting much time.

After one round of investigation, Su Ji’s face darkened slightly; he surprisingly couldn’t sense Jing Yan’s aura.

Unreconciled, he investigated a second time, a third time, yet still came up empty!

”Damn it!” Su Ji’s eyes burned with anger as it showed on his face.

Mountain Master had entrusted him with this task and even handed him the Dead Spirit Sacred Order for use, yet he seemed to have botched what originally appeared to be a simple matter!

”Xiao Ying!” Su Ji yelled angrily!

”Do you even know what you’ve done? The person specified by Mountain Master, you dare let him go? Are you not afraid that Luo Jiu Divine Palace will be leveled and disappear forever from history?” Su Ji became anxious.

”Su Ji, no need to try and scare me! If that damn bastard truly intends to destroy Luo Jiu Divine Palace, let him come,” Xiao Ying sneered.

”You...” Su Ji’s breath caught.

In the next moment, Su Ji enveloped the entire Luojiu City with his Divine Thought, carefully searching inch by inch. If Jing Yan had left Luo Jiu Divine Palace and was hiding within Luojiu City, he was confident he could find him, though it would take some additional time. The formation defenses of various sizably influential forces within Luojiu City presented some resistance to his Divine Thought penetration but merely as obstructive forces, incapable of completely barring his Divine Thought.

Several days later, Su Ji had to give up.

He had swept the inside and outside of Luo Jiu Divine Palace and Luojiu City multiple times, still unable to find any trace of Jing Yan.

Though angry, he had no better method against Xiao Ying. The relationship between his master and Palace Master Xiao Ying was beyond his influence. Without understanding his master’s decision, he dared not act rashly against Xiao Ying or Luo Jiu Divine Palace, especially having confirmed that Jing Yan was not within Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

”You will regret this!” Su Ji left this parting remark and departed Luojiu City, returning to Dead Spirit Mountain to await Mountain Master’s next projection from Chaos and report this news.

...

In the God Realm, Endless Void!

Swoosh!

Jing Yan’s figure suddenly appeared amidst a dazzling aurora.

Jing Yan quickly activated his Divine Power, enveloping his body. In the space, waves of Void Yin Wind raged.

The Endless Void is extremely perilous. Not least of all, the Void Yin Wind alone is enough to trouble martial artists in the True God Realm. These Void Yin Winds can easily obliterate the physical body of a martial artist in the True God Realm. If the physical body is destroyed, the Divine Soul in such an environment wouldn’t last even the blink of an eye before being utterly extinguished.

Jing Yan’s Daluo Immortal Body has strong endurance, but if he doesn’t utilize Divine Power, his Daluo Immortal Body would still be quite painful in the Void Yin Wind, so Jing Yan activated Divine Power to resist the erosion of the Void Yin Wind.

Where Jing Yan was located, the Void Yin Wind was not too intense; this place could be considered a safe haven within the Endless Void, a relatively safe spot in the Endless Void.

In a safe haven, typically, even martial artists at the Void God level can hold out for quite a long time.

After identifying the direction, Jing Yan began traveling within the Void.

The void shelter of a Divine Domain is quite expansive.

At the center of the safe haven, there would be a Void City. Within Void City, there is a Waterway Pier. To reach Emperor Extreme Divine Palace, Jing Yan needed to head to the Waterway Pier to take a Void Divine Ship.

The only mode of transportation between Divine Domains is by Void Divine Ship.

Just as Su Ji traveled from Dead Spirit Mountain to Luli Divine Domain, it was likewise done by Void Divine Ship. Even martial artists of the Main God Realm level lack the capability to traverse the Endless Void autonomously, moving between Divine Domains.

Several days later!

”Phew!” A glint of light suddenly flashed in Jing Yan’s bleak eyes.

”Ahead...should be a safe haven transmission point!” Jing Yan saw a cluster of black buildings within his sight.

The scale of these buildings was not large, leading Jing Yan to believe it was not a Void City but a transmission point within a safe haven. Via the transmission point, one could directly transport to Void City.

The Endless Void was a place of dead silence, as if nothing existed beyond the Void Yin Wind. Although only days had passed since he began flying, Jing Yan already felt its oppressiveness.

Now having sighted the transmission point, Jing Yan’s mood, of course, began to lighten.

Seeing the transmission point, Jing Yan accelerated his pace flying towards it.

The transmission point hosts martial artists residing there long-term; although the numbers aren’t vast, a typical transmission point in a safe haven usually hosts tens of thousands of martial artists, gradually forming a small town.

Upon reaching proximity to the transmission point, Jing Yan reduced his speed.

At this moment, he could see several characters as if engraved in the Void above the transmission point.

”White Sand Divine Domain!” Jing Yan softly recited.

”It appears this is a transmission point near the White Sand Divine Domain in the void shelter,” Jing Yan silently pondered.

The White Sand Divine Domain is relatively close to the Luli Divine Domain, with the two domains being adjacent. However, despite their proximity, constructing a Void Channel from Luo Jiu Divine Palace to the White Sand Divine Domain safe haven, by Senior Brother Xiao Ying, likely would have consumed enormous Heart Power.

Jing Yan mused contemplatively.
