The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Failed

The Domain Lord’s Mansion has many vacant guest rooms.

Hao Yuntian, being the Domain Lord of the Divine Domain, naturally has numerous visitors. Without preparing enough guest rooms, should the visitors be left to find accommodation outside?

Jing Yan didn’t have any special requirements for his lodging, moreover, he was just staying temporarily until the Upper Pure Secret Realm opened, after which he would leave.

”Brother Yan, you mentioned you could refine the Nine Glories Pill. I was indeed shocked, but I truly believe you,” Hao Yang said to Jing Yan, speaking earnestly in the room.

Initially, when Jing Yan mentioned he was a High-level Divine Pill Master, Hao Yang was genuinely taken aback. With his Taiching Daoxin Method, he could sense Jing Yan’s approximate age and knew that Jing Yan was not over a thousand years old. To become a High-level Divine Pill Master before the age of a thousand was indeed astonishing.

However, Hao Yang did trust Jing Yan and did not think he was speaking carelessly. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Hao Yang trusted Jing Yan from the bottom of his heart.

The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, always someone better out there. Even if one had never heard of a High-level Divine Pill Master under a thousand years, that doesn’t mean such a talent absolutely never exists in the Divine Realm.

Jing Yan looked into Hao Yang’s eyes as if he could see into the depths of Hao Yang’s soul.

Hao Yang’s words made Jing Yan feel very grateful. If even Hao Yang did not believe in him, then everything he said before would have truly meant nothing.

Jing Yan smiled and nodded firmly at Hao Yang.

”Alas, it’s just my father...” Hao Yang sighed with a bitter smile and shook his head, ”Because my father and Mr. Guang Luo are old acquaintances, he might be more inclined to trust Mr. Guang Luo’s alchemy skills. Brother Yan, I hope you don’t overthink it.”

”It’s alright, I have a broad mind. Besides, it’s normal for the Domain Lord not to believe in my ability to refine the Nine Glories Pill on our first meeting,” Jing Yan patted Hao Yang’s shoulder.

”Yes. Brother Yan, during this time before we head to the Upper Pure Secret Realm, please feel at home. If you need anything, just come to me. I believe in about a year and a half, we will set off. My father will personally lead fifty of us there,” Hao Yang added.

”A year and a half?” Jing Yan furrowed his brow, ”Wasn’t there word from the Demon Hunting Hall that in seven days they would stop recording Demon Hunting List points?”

”Yes, that’s correct in terms of the Demon Hunting Hall. But the exact time of departure to the Upper Pure Secret Realm still waits on news from the East Jade Stream Divine Domain. After all, the Upper Pure Secret Realm is within their divine domain,” Hao Yang explained with a smile.

”I see,” Jing Yan pursed his lips.

Three months later!

”Mr. Guang Luo, how did it go?”

Seeing Guang Luo emerging from the room, Hao Yuntian immediately flashed over, with a look of anticipation as he inquired.

Three months earlier, he had handed over the materials for the Nine Glories Pill to Guang Luo, who had immediately begun the alchemy process. Ever since Guang Luo started, Hao Yuntian had been closely observing any movements in Guang Luo’s room every day.

”Domain Lord Yun Tian, alas, it’s my incompetence, the alchemy failed,” Guang Luo shook his head, with a tone that seemed mildly self-reproachful.

However, in truth, Guang Luo did not feel too guilty. After all, before beginning the refinement, he had already explained clearly that he had only a thirty percent chance of success with the Nine Glories Pill, while there was a seventy percent chance of failure.

With only one set of materials for the Nine Glories Pill, failure was, of course, quite normal. If Hao Yuntian could provide four or five sets of materials, and he failed entirely, only then would he genuinely feel ashamed.

Hearing Guang Luo’s words, Hao Yuntian’s heart sank to the bottom. Even though he was prepared for failure, when his last hope was shattered, it was still hard to avoid a chill in his heart.

It failed, after all, it still failed.

After spending countless resources, after spending over ten thousand years, finally gathering one set of materials, it ultimately failed.

”It seems, my son is destined only to be a Quasi Main God,” Hao Yuntian gazed solemnly into the distance, ”Well, everything is predetermined, it cannot be forced.”

”Domain Lord....” Guang Luo stood aside, feigning a willingness to comfort.

”Mr. Guang Luo, I am alright, don’t worry. Hao Yang becoming a Quasi Main God is not bad at all. In the Divine Realm, reaching the Quasi Main God level is something countless martial artists can only dream of,” Hao Yuntian waved his hand, ”I shall inform Hao Yang of the situation.”

Subsequently, Hao Yuntian called Hao Yang over to divulge the news.

Hao Yang, with a wry smile, felt unwilling but helpless.

After leaving his father, Hao Yang remained in the courtyard, stamping his feet for a long time.

”I need to find Brother Yan to drink with! Today, I want to get thoroughly drunk!” Hao Yang murmured before striding towards the guest room where Jing Yan resided.

During these three months, Jing Yan was not idle.

Meanwhile, Little Black, after further devouring some Xuanqing Spirit Bodies, evolved to level eight. From level seven to level eight, Little Black did not once again fall into slumber. At level eight, Little Black’s power increased significantly. If Little Black were to venture into the Flame Demon Space now, its speed in hunting Flame Demons would undoubtedly surpass its speed at level seven by far.

”Brother Yan!” Jing Yan was meditating in his room with closed eyes when he heard Hao Yang’s voice coming from outside.

”Brother Hao Yang!” Jing Yan left the room, greeted Hao Yang with a cupped hand salute.

”Brother Yan, come, drink with me,” Hao Yang said, pulling Jing Yan as if to drag him along.

”Hmm?” Jing Yan furrowed his eyebrows, sensing that today Hao Yang’s spirit was off. He seemed quite dispirited, and his complexion was somewhat haggard, ”Brother Hao Yang, what happened?”

”It’s nothing much. Just earlier, Mr. Guang Luo emerged from seclusion, and the refinement of the Nine Glories Pill failed. My father told me that upon returning from the Upper Pure Secret Realm this time, I would... use the power of another Divine Core to condense a Fake God Core and step into the Quasi Main God Realm. Haha, becoming a Quasi Main God would significantly increase my power. By that time, I should be able to rival you, Brother Yan,”

With Hao Yuntian’s capability, obtaining a Fake God Core wasn’t too difficult.

”Condense a Fake God Core?”

”Becoming a Quasi Main God would mean reaching the end of the path of cultivation,” Jing Yan said, furrowing his brow.

”There’s nothing that can be done about it. Though my father is the Domain Lord of the Beibi River Divine Domain, he’s ultimately not a Great Ability. To prepare one set of materials for the Nine Glories Pill, my father spent an unimaginable cost,” Hao Yang said with a bitter smile, ”Forget it, let’s not talk about these disheartening things. Brother Yan, let’s drink to our heart’s content today, not stop until we’re drunk!”

”Brother Hao Yang, wait a moment!” Jing Yan stopped in his tracks, not letting Hao Yang lead him out.

”Hmm?” Hao Yang looked at Jing Yan.

”Brother Hao Yang, I wish to see the Lord Domain once more. There are some things I need to say again,” Jing Yan said with determination.

”Alright, I’ll take you there. After seeing my father, we can go for drinks,” Hao Yang readily agreed.

The two quickly walked out, heading towards the villa where Hao Yuntian resided.
