The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1604: Chapter 1604: The New Second Chair

Jing Yan narrowed his eyes at the several strong members of the Spirit Monster Clan.

”Is that really what you think?”

”Are you saying this with your words while harboring different thoughts in your heart? Do you, perhaps, bear a grudge against me?” Jing Yan said in a tense voice.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, the faces of the Spirit Monster Clan members turned slightly pale.

Then, these strong members of the Spirit Monster Clan directly knelt down.

”Lord Jing Yan, please, you must believe our words. We absolutely have no intention of blaming you. In our view, Luo Jiuhong and the others are simply foolish. How can a small Spirit Monster Clan like us criticize a powerful clan such as the Human Clan?” The Spirit Monster Clan members were eager to swear to the heavens.

They indeed lacked integrity, kneeling down so quickly.

”Lord Jing Yan, to express our apologies, our Spirit Monster Clan has decided to offer a complete set of Five Elements Origin to the Human Clan. Lord Jing Yan, you know how rare the Five Elements Origin is. Even within our entire Spirit Monster Clan, there isn’t much of it.” The Spirit Monster Clan member continued.

A set of Five Elements Origin!

This compensation was indeed significant, even Jing Yan was a bit surprised, not expecting the Spirit Monster Clan to bleed so much. The Five Elements Origin is extremely scarce. In the entire Human Territory, there isn’t much of it either. Theoretically, each of the Nine Great Divine Realms in the Human Territory only has one set of Five Elements Origin.

Of course, individual worlds, once they reach a certain level of prosperity, will also gradually give birth to a set of Five Elements Origin. For example, the All Paths World has a set of Five Elements Origin.

”It seems you have indeed realized your mistake. Very well, the Spirit Monster Clan is not entirely unreasonable beings.” Jing Yan nodded.

Jing Yan was quite satisfied with the compensation from the Spirit Monster Clan. With this set of Five Elements Origin, Jing Yan could fill in the missing Five Elements Origin he lacked. The surplus could be handed over to Elder Xiao Ye and others to handle.

The compensation mentioned by the Spirit Monster Clan was intended for the entire Human Clan. If Jing Yan were to take the entire set of Five Elements Origin, although the Human Clan wouldn’t say anything, there would always be something inappropriate about it, and Jing Yan himself would feel uneasy.

”Thank you, Lord Jing Yan!” The Spirit Monster Clan members knew that since Jing Yan said this, he would no longer hold grudges against the Spirit Monster Clan. As long as the Spirit Monster Clan kept their heads down in the future, they wouldn’t have to worry about retaliation from the Human Clan.

As for returning to the Six Great Clans, it seemed unlikely in the short term. The Spirit Monster Clan members did not dare to bring up this matter to Jing Yan at this moment. Offending Jing Yan again would not be worth it.

”Lord Jing Yan, the set of Five Elements Origin needs to be brought over from our Spirit Monster Clan territory, so it will take some time,” the Spirit Monster Clan member added.

”No rush, I will be staying in Sky Creation City for a while,” Jing Yan waved his hand.

”Alright, you may leave now.” Jing Yan said to the Spirit Monster Clan members.

After Jing Yan said this, the Spirit Monster Clan beings retreated cautiously to a distance before turning around.

”Supreme Jing Yan, have you truly forgiven the Spirit Monster Clan? Previously, the Spirit Monster Clan’s Luo Jiuhong and Jiao Getu attacked you,” Thunderbolt Venerable spoke.

”It’s not about forgiveness! I cannot regard an entire clan as my enemy just because one of their beings offended me. Besides, the character of the Spirit Monster Clan determines they cannot stir up great waves,” Jing Yan shook his head and said.

”True! Moreover, the Spirit Monster Clan is willing to compensate with a set of Five Elements Origin for Supreme Jing Yan, and the Five Elements Origin is quite a valuable thing,” Chunyu Venerable interjected.

”Supreme Jing Yan, the battlefield has been cleared, and all the resources are here for you to inspect,” Elder Xiao Ye handed a Sumeru Ring to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan accepted it, and with a sweep of his Divine Thought, he examined all the resources inside the Sumeru Ring.

With a shift in his mind, Jing Yan retrieved some colorful fragments. These colorful fragments were formed after the Colorful Cloud Sword shattered. Although the Colorful Cloud Sword was just an Acquired Spiritual Treasure and had never reached the level of Acquired Supreme Treasure, Jing Yan had used the Colorful Cloud Sword for the longest time since cultivating, and he had developed feelings towards it.

”Reforge the Colorful Cloud Sword!”

”This time, I hope to elevate the Colorful Cloud Sword to the level of an Acquired Supreme Treasure.” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.

The resources within the Sumeru Ring are remarkably plentiful. The beings slain by Jing Yan are among the most elite existences in the universe, at least at the level of Human Clan Venerables. It would be unusual if their resources were lacking.

Therefore, Jing Yan wouldn’t lack resources to reforge the Colorful Cloud Sword. These colorful fragments contain many Five Elements. The materials needed to reforge the Colorful Cloud Sword wouldn’t be extensive either.

After some selection, Jing Yan took some resources he needed or that those around him needed, as well as some items even he couldn’t determine the use of, from the Sumeru Ring. The rest he tossed to Elder Xiao Ye.

”These remaining resources can be used for the development of the Human Clan,” Jing Yan said.

”But...” Elder Xiao Ye hesitated.

”No need to say more,” Jing Yan smiled.

The next day, at Sky Creation City Square, the council meeting proceeded as scheduled.

Councilman Ao Tian was absent, and the former second chair Councilman Babie had been executed by Jing Yan. Now, only a few elders were present at the council.

However, the powerful figures from a hundred tribes participated. Among them, the leaders of several top middle-class clans were the most excited and active. Because in today’s council meeting, it might be decided to promote one of them to the status of the Six Great Clans. The benefits of being one of the Six Great Clans are self-evident, starting with fixed quotas to enter the Chaos Secret Realm.

Yesterday, the leaders of several top middle-class clans were very active, having contacted Elder Xiao Ye and other Human Clan Venerables. They openly and covertly expressed their desire for the Human Clan’s assistance. However, Elder Xiao Ye did not give them any definite response. Some beings sought to meet Jing Yan, but upon hearing that their purpose was to seek a backdoor into promotion to the Six Great Clans, Jing Yan directly refused, not seeing any of them.

On the Heavenly Platform, the elders of the council took their seats.

Beside the chief seat were two seats specially prepared for Supreme Jing Yan and Supreme Bai Xue. As for the Councilman’s seat, it was temporarily left vacant.

”Supreme Jing Yan, Supreme Bai Xue, may we commence the council meeting?” An elder from the Earth Clan stood and asked Jing Yan with a bow.

”Let’s begin!” Jing Yan said.

”Yes!” The Earth Clan elder responded.

”Esteemed elders, today’s council meeting is primarily to discuss several matters. The first is the selection of the second chair councilman. The original second chair Councilman Babie is no longer suitable for the position, moreover, he is already deceased. The Sky Creation City Council cannot long remain without a second chair councilman, so we need to deliberate on which being would be appropriate for the new second chair councilman role,” the Earth Clan elder said slowly.
