The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body

Weng Quan and the others all had noticeable changes in their expressions.

Jing Yan sensed that the more than ten martial artists from the Seventh Divine Domain before him now had slightly heavier breaths than before.

He couldn’t help but wonder, is it abnormal to encounter Red Flame Spirits in the Red Flame Land?

Jing Yan lightly shook his head and said, ”The things I encountered were entirely made of flames, wielding fiery giant axes, with extremely strong attack power. Even if their bodies were shattered, they could quickly recover. Oh, and they referred to themselves as the illustrious Huo Shiba, Huo Shiyi, and such!”

Jing Yan was also uncertain whether what he encountered was what Che Gu referred to as the Red Flame Spirits.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Che Gu and the others widened their eyes slightly.

”Them? Brother Jing Yan, do you mean you encountered not just one Red Flame Spirit, but several?” Che Gu took a deep breath and exchanged a glance with the others.

Jing Yan clearly noticed that the way Che Gu and the others looked at him had changed to some extent, not as casual as before. This change was subtle, yet still perceptible.

”Yes, I first encountered one called Huo Shiba, who I defeated, and it fled. Soon after, it called in its companions to attack me. In the end, five of them surrounded me, and I barely managed to escape,” Jing Yan nodded and said.

After Jing Yan’s words fell, the atmosphere in the great hall became noticeably quieter.

After a moment, Che Gu exhaled and looked at Jing Yan with an odd expression.

”Brother Jing Yan, your strength is just too extraordinary! To encounter Red Flame Spirits and still survive, especially facing an attack from five of them.”

”Tsk tsk... I don’t even know what to say.”

”...”

The people in the great hall all expressed their amazement.

”Fellow brothers, didn’t you encounter those Red Flame Spirits when you entered the Land of Descent?” Jing Yan asked with a frown.

”My Main God Core has a water attribute, so I went to the Weak Water Land, and I didn’t encounter a Weak Water Spirit, otherwise I might not have survived,” Che Gu shook his head and said.

”I was in the Sharp Gold Land, and I didn’t encounter a Sharp Gold Spirit either!”

”I did encounter a Red Flame Spirit, and it was sheer luck that I survived! The combat power of those Red Flame Spirits is incredibly terrifying!”

”...”

The crowd chimed in one after another.

Some didn’t encounter any spirits in the perilous lands, while others did but not to the extent of facing five Red Flame Spirits like Jing Yan, which was indeed extreme.

Jing Yan roughly understood that many martial artists who entered the Land of Descent usually don’t encounter such spirits. Encountering five Red Flame Spirits was indeed a stroke of terrible luck for him.

”Fellow brothers, I feel your aura is very strong; surely you can handle some Red Flame Spirits or similar creatures, right?” Jing Yan said, raising his eyes.

”Brother Jing Yan, you must understand, we’ve been trapped here for countless years. We’ve never managed to achieve a harmonization to become a God Lord, confined to the Nine Tripods Main God Realm. All we can do each day is comprehend the domain’s power. With such a long time, how can our combat power not increase? But you’re different!” Che Gu rolled his eyes and said.

”Brother Che is right! Moreover, you haven’t yet comprehended the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body! Once you do, your combat power will increase significantly, much stronger than it is now!” Helian Ziyu said.

”Right! We almost forgot to introduce Brother Jing Yan to the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body! Before the first Heavenly Venerate Mountain, there is a Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body. Every martial artist entering the Land of Descent has one opportunity for enlightenment.”

”This Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body is extremely mysterious, offering immense benefits to any martial artist who comprehends it. However, the benefits vary from person to person, depending on the martial artist’s talent and fortune.”

”As for the Heavenly Venerate Mountain, martial artists need to challenge it. If successful, they can leave here. But success is extremely difficult. We’ve been stuck here, trying countless times over countless years, without success,” Che Gu continued to explain to Jing Yan.

Others also chimed in to provide additional explanations.

Through everyone’s descriptions, Jing Yan gained a general understanding of the Heavenly Venerate Mountain and the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body.

The Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body is a cultivation opportunity for martial artists, while the Heavenly Venerate Mountain is a test of their strength. Without successfully challenging the Heavenly Venerate Mountain, one would be eternally trapped here until death.

The life span of a Nine Tripods Main God is extremely long, but there’s still a limit. Generally speaking, a Nine Tripods Main God can live for about a billion years.

In fact, even martial artists at the God Lord Level have a life span.

Only by becoming a Heavenly Venerate can one truly become timelessly immortal. Of course, it doesn’t mean a Heavenly Venerate is eternally indestructible. Under natural circumstances, the life span of a Heavenly Venerate is endless. However, if faced with fatal damage, a Heavenly Venerate can still die.

This Land of Descent is where an Ancient Heavenly Venerate came to rest.

”Brother Jing Yan, this Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, each person has only one opportunity for enlightenment. Therefore, you must be fully prepared,” Che Gu cautioned Jing Yan.

”Yes, I’ll prepare fully before attempting to comprehend the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body!” Jing Yan squinted and nodded.

Having arrived here, there’s no need to rush for a little time. By adjusting oneself to the best state, one can gain the maximum benefit when comprehending the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body.

...

The great hall where the martial artists of the Fifth Divine Realm reside!

”I agree!” said a martial artist in a dark red robe.

”I have no objections either; it’s been years since I’ve tasted Green Bamboo Wine. It’s finally time for a newcomer, and they’re from the Seventh Divine Domain!” Another person rolled their eyelids.

”I’m afraid... it might look like we’re bullying the newcomer!” an elderly man with a long beard slightly shook his head.

”Brother Sha Jue, we martial artists from the Nine Great Divine Realms often spar without purpose; who’s to say we’re bullying newcomers? This time, we’re simply adding some Green Bamboo Wine and other items as bets. Besides, if that newcomer Jing Yan doesn’t agree, we’re not forcing him!” Gai Bin persuaded.

The elderly man named Sha Jue sighed lightly and didn’t say any more.

”Since everyone thinks it’s fine, let’s go then!” Gai Bin Jiu Ding Main God gleamed with excitement, eager with anticipation.

Just thinking about the refreshing taste of Green Bamboo Wine made his mouth dry.

The Fifth Divine Realm hadn’t seen a newcomer for an extremely long time, and they eagerly awaited. Finally, a newcomer arrived, and it was a martial artist from that damned Seventh Divine Domain!

”Let’s go!”

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

The martial artists of the Fifth Divine Realm left their residences in droves, flying toward the great hall where the martial artists of the Seventh Divine Domain resided.
