The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Jiu Huan

The Divine Sea of the Nine Tripods Main God is extremely stable and can withstand very strong external pressure.

The larger the internal space of the Divine Sea, the more stable it is. Jing Yan’s Divine Sea scale, looking at the entire human Nine Tripods Main God in Chaos, Jing Yan dare not say his Divine Sea is the largest, but in the Seventh Divine Domain, it is really hard to find a Nine Tripods Main God whose Divine Sea scale can compare with his.

But even so, under the infusion of Divine Power from the second Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, Jing Yan’s Divine Sea began to expand in less than the time it takes to breathe.

In the intense shaking, the barriers of the Divine Sea actually began to crack. Fortunately, both the Divine Core Flower and the Divine Core remained stable, otherwise, Jing Yan might think his Divine Sea was about to be destroyed.

After the barriers of the Divine Sea disintegrated, they swiftly reformed.

When Jing Yan’s Divine Sea barriers regrouped for the second time, the scale of the Divine Sea Space had greatly expanded.

Jing Yan sensed slightly and judged roughly that the current Divine Sea is approximately twice as large as before.

This is extremely astonishing!

Jing Yan’s Divine Sea Space was already huge. Now that it has doubled, it can be said that even purely comparing Divine Power, Jing Yan has surpassed many God Lord Level powerhouses.

Under the second Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, Jing Yan didn’t stay long. After the Divine Sea Space reopened, Jing Yan was teleported out of the region covered by Heavenly Venerate’s Divine Power.

Although the time was short, the increase in Jing Yan’s combat power is undoubtedly massive. The Divine Power lightly trembles, bursting out with immense power.

”Little brother Jing Yan, how were your harvests?” Jin Biao looked at Jing Yan who had just been teleported back and said with a light smile.

”Not bad at all!” Jing Yan smiled slightly, then said seriously: ”Old brother, is the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain so hard to pass? Even with your strength, you couldn’t pass?”

Jin Biao is a powerful being at the God Lord Level, one of the three God Lords under the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain.

Jing Yan can feel Jin Biao’s strength, even if in the Divine Realm, he may not match the likes of Wu Huo and other first-class God Lords, but the gap is definitely not large. With such strength, to fail the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain’s trial?

”The trial of the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain is different from the first. The test of the second is only the Tao-heart. Even Martial Artists at the Nine Tripods Main God Realm with not very strong combat power might pass the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain. Similarly, even Martial Artists with strong combat power at the Divine Lord Realm might not pass the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain.” Jin Biao shook his head, sighing.

”Tao-heart?” Jing Yan was somewhat puzzled.

”Yes! Tao-heart, it’s really hard to explain clearly. When you ascend the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain yourself, you will understand.” Jin Biao gave a slight tug at the corner of his mouth.

”If the Tao-heart is strong enough, the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain is easy to pass. If the Tao-heart is not sufficient, perhaps you can never pass.” Jin Biao sighed lightly.

...

On the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain.

Jing Yan’s figure stood tall, gazing at the front where stood an extremely beautiful woman.

This woman is named ’Jiu Huan.’

The second Heavenly Venerate Mountain, she guards here blocking Martial Artists from passing.

”Go back, you can’t pass through me.” Jiu Huan looked at Jing Yan, smiled gently, even her eyes were filled with laughter, her voice soft.

”How can I know if I don’t try?” Jing Yan looked at Jiu Huan.

”Everything is illusion, just a dream. Now, the dream should awaken!” Jiu Huan’s voice gradually blurred.

In Jing Yan’s vision, Jiu Huan’s figure dimmed. Jing Yan’s will seemed to be eroded by some mysterious power, he felt very, very tired, and wanted to rest.

A simple thatched cottage, before the cottage, there was a lotus pond. Jing Yan sat on the wooden chair by the lotus pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

”Father, did you catch a fish?” Jing Dongxue came behind Jing Yan, hugging his neck, asked in a coquettish tone.

”Ah, really want to eat the fish you caught tonight!” Son Jing Yun also came from behind, muttering.

”Alright, alright! Get ready to eat dinner!” Gao Feng clapped his hands, shouting in front of the cottage.

Wife, son, daughter!

Jing Yan only felt incomparable tranquility in his heart, he looked back at Gao Feng, Gao Feng also looked back at him.

At this time, a woman in white stepped out from the cottage, it was Bai Xue.

Bai Xue looked at Jing Yan with a somewhat cold gaze, seemed to lift her chin slightly.

”Sister, let him go on fishing there.” Bai Xue said to Gao Feng.

Gao Feng pursed her lips, slowly squinting, the half-squinted eyes looked at Jing Yan, full of love.

”Forget it, forget it! Looks like no fish will be caught today, let’s eat first!” Jing Yan stood up, shook his head, slowly put the fishing rod away.

...

”No!”

”This is not real! This is not real, it’s an illusion!” Jing Yan’s heart began to struggle.

Before Jing Yan ascended the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain, Jin Biao had introduced Jiu Huan to Jing Yan, knowing Jiu Huan would create illusions trapping Martial Artists within. If Martial Artists couldn’t come out of the illusion themselves, they couldn’t pass the second Heavenly Venerate Mountain.

But sometimes you know it’s an illusion, yet it’s hard to escape. The illusion is too real, and it strikes the softest spot of the tested heart.

Many people, even knowing it’s an illusion, don’t want to wake from its comfort. Some might feel, perhaps living forever in this illusion is better.

At this moment, Jing Yan had a strong urge not to leave the illusion.

If living like this forever, perhaps it’s what he truly desires.

”No... I can’t fall here!”

”My wife Gao Feng, my daughter Dongxue, are still missing. And Bai Xue, Bai Xue City Lord whereabouts unknown. I can’t fall here, I must get out, I must find them!” Another voice constantly reminded Jing Yan that everything now is fake, if he falls here, then his wife, his daughter, and those he cares for might never be seen again.

”Break! Break for me!” Jing Yan shouted furiously.

In such agonizing cries, the scene before him receded and disappeared like a tide.

Jiu Huan’s figure became clear again. Jiu Huan stood there all along, never leaving.

At this moment, Jiu Huan showed a trace of astonishment, looking at Jing Yan with a sense of surprise.

And on Jing Yan’s cheeks, two lines of clear tears remained.

”Jing Yan, didn’t expect you to escape so quickly from the illusion I made.” Jiu Huan said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was silent, merely looking at Jiu Huan ahead.

”You have passed my test, now you can ascend to the summit.” Jiu Huan let open the path ahead.
