The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: An Explanation

When Jing Yan was climbing the seventeenth Immortal Bridge, he borrowed the power of Body Origin Power from Little Black. The dense Source Power aura of Little Black, of course, could not be hidden.

These present Main Gods and Masters of Ten Thousand Gods, although almost everyone was not proficient in Alchemy Dao, were not unfamiliar with Source Power.

”I also felt the fluctuation of Source Power aura there!” Kuai Rong nodded.

Their gaze turned to Jing Yan, who had already sat cross-legged on the seventeenth Immortal Bridge.

However, even though they felt the fluctuation of Source Power aura, their faces were still filled with deep confusion. They couldn’t understand why Yan Jin was able to rely on Source Power to ascend the seventeenth Immortal Bridge.

Even they, the two hosts of the Immortal Bridge Meeting, couldn’t understand. That goes without saying for the other Martial Artists in the various Great Halls.

Those Main God Warriors, even including many Great Ability users, had eyes full of deep confusion.

”Daoist Sun Zhao! Daoist Kuai Rong!”

A powerful voice resonated from within a Great Hall, with Divine Power that could penetrate heaven and earth. Clearly, the person speaking was a powerful being of the Master of Ten Thousand Gods level.

”Please, two Daoists, resolve the confusion as to why Yan Jin could rely on Source Power to ascend a higher Immortal Bridge.” This Master of Ten Thousand Gods spoke directly, and not through sound transmission.

It was evident that this person was somewhat angry. The tone even carried a slight hint of interrogation.

It should be known that both Sun Zhao and Kuai Rong were direct disciples of the Star Moon Valley Master. Regardless of their personal strength, just based on such a background, an ordinary Great Ability user wouldn’t dare to use an interrogative tone with them.

Even Great Ability users stronger than them must show Sun Zhao and Kuai Rong some face.

In the face of this Great Ability user’s interrogation, Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao shared a bitter smile.

They, too, were not clear about what was really happening.

But they could confirm one thing, which was that they definitely didn’t secretly use any means to help Yan Jin cheat. Of course, even if they wanted to help Yan Jin cheat, it wouldn’t work. The will of the Immortal Bridge, even they couldn’t influence in the slightest.

”Please, Daoists Sun Zhao and Kuai Rong, give us a reasonable explanation!” Qian Liu God Lord also spoke loudly within a Great Hall.

His disciple, Chen Tongyue, should have been the first to ascend the Immortal Bridge this time. But now, that Yan Jin Martial Artist inexplicably climbed the seventeenth Immortal Bridge, equaling his disciple Chen Tongyue’s achievement. This undoubtedly dimmed the halo around his disciple Chen Tongyue considerably.

”I didn’t see it clearly either! That Yan Jin hasn’t made a breakthrough in realm. In the domain, there was no further transformation; at least the domain powers he exerted were still at the Second Realm. I’ve been carefully sensing, and I can confirm that he didn’t use any new Domain Power just now. At the last moment, he only used Source Power.” Another voice rumbled into everyone’s ears.

When this voice came out, many people’s expressions changed slightly. Because this time, it was a top-class Great Ability user, the powerful Wu Huo Ancestor, who couldn’t help but ask.

The atmosphere around the entire Taoist Field became eerie.

Those Main God Warriors’ eyes were wide open. Especially the Main Gods participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting, their emotions were even more agitated.

If it weren’t for the high status of Daoists Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao, not daring to question them directly, they would definitely have been shouting by now, questioning that Star Moon Valley was unfair to them.

In the face of these repeated questions, Kuai Rong smiled bitterly and began to speak: ”Fellow Daoists.”

Seeing Kuai Rong speak, those questioning voices temporarily disappeared; clearly, they were all waiting for Kuai Rong’s explanation.

”Regarding this matter, to be honest, my Fifth Senior Brother and I don’t know what’s going on either.” Kuai Rong gently shook his head; he truly didn’t understand what the issue with the Immortal Bridge was. He continued, ”But I can assure you, neither my Senior Brother nor I did any manipulation. Moreover, our ability couldn’t affect the Immortal Bridge’s will at all!”

That was all Kuai Rong could explain.

But his explanation obviously couldn’t satisfy those present.

”Does Daoist Kuai Rong think this explanation is acceptable to us?” Wu Huo Ancestor sneered.

”Daoist Sun Zhao, Daoist Kuai Rong, since you two are responsible for hosting this Immortal Bridge Meeting, I think you should actively investigate the cause of this incident to see if there’s an issue with the Immortal Bridge. If the Immortal Bridge does have problems, it would be unfair to the Martial Artists who previously ascended it!” Qian Liu God Lord implored with a gentle tone.

”The two Daoists should provide us with a reasonable account of how Yan Jin managed to ascend the seventeenth Immortal Bridge.” An unkind voice immediately chimed in.

Not only was the statement itself unkind, but the person’s tone was equally unpleasant.

Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao’s expressions turned slightly sour. However, both of them held back and did not get angry.

Because the one who spoke was the Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign, a super first-class strong figure second only to their master, the Star Moon Valley Master.

Some Martial Artists, seeing even the Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign step forward, immediately became more agitated.

Incoherent voices also began to emerge gradually. Some even demanded that Jing Yan’s Ascending Immortal Bridge should be halted pending further investigation.

”Boom!”

At this moment, an unmatched power suddenly appeared from the void, descending abruptly. This power, in an instant, spread to all the Great Halls.

This was an extremely terrifying power fluctuation. The aura contained within the power made many present Great Ability users’ hearts tremble, their bodies tense.

Wu Huo Ancestor and Emperor Donghua’s breaths involuntarily tightened.

Even Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign, who had his eyes half-closed, opened them suddenly at this moment, as if feeling a hint of an energy aura that threatened even himself. His gaze sharply locked on the depths of the space.

All eyes turned to the sky above the Taoist Field.

A figure dressed in a dark yellow robe slowly descended from the void. This figure wasn’t tall, but everyone who saw him would feel that this body was filled with extremely terrifying strength.

This figure’s face was slightly thin, and his complexion somewhat pale. With his hands clasped behind him, his gaze first swept across the Immortal Bridge and then around the Great Halls surrounding the Taoist Field. Finally, he looked at Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao.

In this brief time, he had already landed in the Taoist Field. As he descended, the terrifying power fluctuations gradually dissipated in this world.
