The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1878: Chapter 1878: Watching the Recording

Currently, there are only thirteen Heavenly Palace Core Disciples in total. Of these thirteen core disciples, twelve have already reached the All Things Realm. Only one, at present, is in the Dao Skill Realm of cultivation.

This shows how difficult it is to become a core disciple in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace for a life in the Dao Skill Realm.

Whether it’s a Dao Skill Realm core disciple of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, or the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall, looking across the entire Endless Chaos, they are almost invincible among beings in the Dao Skill Realm.

An ultimate force pays great attention to such disciples. Otherwise, Void Divine Hall would not have sent a Void Deputy Hall Master to Shelun Country personally because Die Dong was killed.

For this reason, the promotion of core disciples in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace is a significant decision, akin to a being’s promotion to Void Son in the Void Divine Hall. Especially when a Dao Skill Realm life is promoted to core disciple, that is an extraordinary matter. Currently, Ancestor Hong Jun, the Palace Master, is not in the Heavenly Palace. If Ancestor Hong Jun were present, it would even require his personal approval.

”Everyone! You all have a certain understanding of Jing Yan’s strength and talent from the message sent by Chenyuan Emperor earlier.” Nuwa Palace Master said slowly.

”Nuwa Palace Master! You are also aware of the significance represented by a Dao Skill Realm core disciple. Jing Yan being able to kill a Dao Skill Realm Void Son is indeed not simple. However, his achievement in this matter probably wasn’t solely reliant on his personal strength, right? Even our Qing Lian, when facing Die Dong, found it difficult to defeat him, let alone kill him.” A hall master looked at Nuwa and said.

The Qing Lian he mentioned is the only Dao Skill Realm core disciple of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Qing Lian’s combat power isn’t much different from Die Dong, and when they fight, it’s mostly difficult to have a winner, with a high chance of an even match.

Even for Qing Lian, the core disciple is like this. How would these hall masters and Vice Palace Master Quin believe that Jing Yan killed Die Dong relying on his personal strength?

In their view, there are only two possibilities for Jing Yan’s achievement in killing Die Dong: one is that Jing Yan had help, and the second is that Jing Yan possessed a powerful special treasure.

This is the thinking of Quin and the other hall masters.

Actually, this cannot be blamed on Quin and others. Even Nuwa Palace Master herself, at first, could hardly imagine that Jing Yan relied on his personal strength to kill Die Dong.

”Nuwa Palace Master, there’s no need to discuss this further for now. If Jing Yan indeed has sufficient strength and talent, we are not in a hurry. Let’s wait and observe his performance in the Heavenly Palace first.” Vice Palace Master Quin smiled and said.

”Vice Palace Master, Jing Yan indeed relied on his personal strength to kill Die Dong.” Nuwa Palace Master quickly said.

”Nuwa Palace Master, what do you intend to do?”

”If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave now.”

”Then, we leave Jing Yan in your hands, Nuwa Palace Master.” Several hall masters stood up, seemingly intending to leave the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall.

”Please wait, everyone.” Nuwa Palace Master stopped the crowd, and she took out an Image Crystal Ball.

”This Image Crystal Ball contains the scene of Jing Yan killing Die Dong. After everyone has seen it, everything will be understood. By the way, this Image Crystal Ball was personally recorded by Chenyuan Emperor.” Nuwa Palace Master spoke as she activated the Image Crystal Ball.

Scenes appeared above the Great Hall.

Everyone present naturally turned their gaze towards the images in the air. The images were very complete, recording some of the dialogues between Jing Yan and Die Dong. The figures of both were very clear, including the space around them. One could even see the cities on Changshan Continent behind them.

”That’s Die Dong, the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall.” Hall Master Qiu Lun pointed at Die Dong in the image and said.

”The other one must be Jing Yan, right? He does seem quite young.” A hall master squinted and nodded.

Next, the scene of Jing Yan engaging in combat with Die Dong appeared.

”Oh?”

”Hmm? This... Jing Yan actually blocked Die Dong’s attack, and it seems he didn’t use any special treasure. The silver light on him looks like a secret technique of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space.” A hall master said in a tone of amazement.

Jing Yan used the defense capability of the third layer of Ancient Tree Inheritance to withstand Die Dong’s attack. If some beings with relatively low knowledge saw this, they might think Jing Yan achieved this through defensive treasure. But everyone present in the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall were Controller-level strong individuals who could certainly distinguish between defensive treasure and defensive secret technique.

Defensive treasures rely on stored energy within the treasure, while defensive secret techniques are methods mastered through self-cultivation by a being. There is a fundamental difference between the two. Treasures are always external items, whereas secret technique methods are part of personal strength.

”It indeed is a secret technique of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space. But, how did Jing Yan master it?”

”It seems to be the secret technique of Ancient Tree Inheritance! How is that possible? The secret technique of Ancient Tree Inheritance is restricted; even the majority of beings in the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space aren’t qualified to cultivate it. This secret technique seems to be exclusive to the Ancient Tree Guardian lineage.” Vice Palace Master Quin said in a shocked tone.

”It seems Jing Yan is about to make his move! His defense is astonishing; what about his attacking capability?”

”What? This... this...”

Everyone present, except Nuwa Palace Master who had already viewed the images once, were all dumbfounded.

Jing Yan used only one sword strike to send Die Dong flying. If Die Dong hadn’t activated a defensive treasure, this sword might have severely injured Die Dong. Even though Die Dong used a defensive treasure to block Jing Yan’s sword, the brilliance of that defensive treasure suggests that most of its energy was consumed.

Very soon, Jing Yan’s second sword strike was launched.

In the sword light, that golden Hongmeng Dao Pattern was familiar to everyone present. It was very certain; that was the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.

”Fourth-level Hongmeng Dao Pattern.”

”How did this guy cultivate?”

”A being coming from within the universe, could cultivate the Hongmeng Dao Pattern to the fourth level. It’s unimaginable; if he cultivates in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace for a period of time, how many levels will he reach with the Hongmeng Dao Pattern?”

In the shock, Vice Palace Master Quin and others spoke one after another.

The second sword strike was to completely shatter Die Dong’s defensive treasure. And under the vast force of being sent flying, Die Dong quickly took out an item and activated it.

”That is a Transmission Treasure!”

”In terms of void accomplishments, Void Divine Hall is first in Endless Chaos. The quantity and quality of their Transmission Treasures surpass those of the other four ultimate forces. It is quite normal for the Void Son to carry such Transmission Treasures.” Hall Master Quin said, focusing his gaze.

”Hmm? Failed? Transmission failed!”

”That... seems like space-time distortion, laws, and so on are all folded. What kind of method is this? It seems to be the power of gravity!” Hall Master Qiu Lun opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened.

Hall Master Qiu Lun has a deeper understanding of the method of gravity.
