Chapter 2399: Chapter 2399: Xu Yiming’s Divine Soul Talent

Investigating Jing Yan’s identity is not difficult, as his reputation within Faro Heaven is indeed immense.

Manager Qi could simply inquire with some cultivators of Faro Heaven and obtain the wanted information.

He bowed and said to Mi Yiran, ”Your subordinate has already gathered some information about Immortal Venerable Jing Yan.”

”Hmm, what exactly is this person’s identity?” Chief Manager Mi Yiran nodded slightly.

”Immortal Venerable Jing Yan is a newly risen cultivator of Faro Heaven; it is said he has not long stepped into the realm of Immortal Venerable. Some even say that Immortal Venerable Jing Yan was merely a Taoist Realm cultivator hundreds of thousands of years ago,” Manager Qi said.

”What?”

”How is this possible! Hundreds of thousands of years, from Taoist Realm to Immortal Venerable?” Mi Yiran abruptly stood up, his face changing dramatically.

”The information is unlikely to be wrong; many cultivators from Faro Heaven have spoken similarly. At the very least, Immortal Venerable Jing Yan truly has not been in the realm of Immortal Venerable for long,” Manager Qi continued.

”Immortal Venerable Jing Yan is extremely famous within Faro Heaven, mainly because he single-handedly eradicated the Slaughter God Hall. Moreover, he also killed an ancient Immortal Venerable in Faro Heaven, an Immortal Venerable named Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable,” Manager Qi said, glancing at Mi Yiran.

Manager Qi is unfamiliar with the Slaughter God Hall and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable; within Tianji Trading House, Manager Qi is not a high-ranking member and is not well-versed in matters of distant Heavenly Domains. However, when he heard many cultivators of Faro Heaven mention Slaughter God Hall and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, their emotions seemed off, so he inquired more deeply. Only then did he learn that the Slaughter God Hall was a superpower, and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable was also one of the oldest and most powerful Immortal Venerables in Faro Heaven.

Upon hearing Manager Qi’s statement, Chief Manager Mi Yiran took a deep breath. While Manager Qi is unfamiliar with Slaughter God Hall and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, Mi Yiran is not. Internal records at Tianji Trading House describe the Slaughter God Hall and Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.

This Immortal Venerable Jing Yan actually eradicated the Slaughter God Hall, meaning it no longer exists? And Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable has also been killed?

It took Mi Yiran quite some time to calm his trembling emotions.

It seems that this Immortal Venerable Jing Yan is truly extraordinary. Fortunately... fortunately, at a critical moment, he opted to retreat, otherwise, had a confrontation ensued, the consequences would have been unpredictable. Such a being likely won’t be greatly threatened even by Tianji Trading House.

”Hmm, today... let’s visit him today! Which Heavenly Domain is Immortal Venerable Jing Yan heading to? Such a person should be befriended. As for the presence behind Xihua Immortal Venerable, that can be dealt with later,” Mi Yiran thought to himself.

Meanwhile, in the residence where Jing Yan is staying.

Jing Yan, engaged in conversation with Xu Yiming.

”Lord Jing Yan, I’ve left Faro Heaven this time intending to go to Scarlet Heart Heaven,” Xu Yiming responded as Jing Yan asked where he planned to travel.

Scarlet Heart Heaven is one of the stronger Heavenly Domains among the nine, not far behind Eastern Marvel Heaven.

Upon hearing Xu Yiming say he seeks passage to Scarlet Heart Heaven, Jing Yan nodded.

Suddenly, he continued to ask, ”Are you a Soul Cultivator?”

Jing Yan’s question was abrupt, causing Xu Yiming to pause momentarily. His identity as a Soul Cultivator is extremely secretive, known to very few. Although earlier at the Gambling Platform he used Soul Technique Attack to kill Yan Qin of Eastern Marvel Heaven, due to the isolation array around the platform, nearby cultivators could not detect he used a Divine Soul Attack.

Yan Qin died suddenly, but for someone to suspect he succumbed to a Soul Technique Attack would be quite unusual, likely merely speculative.

Why did Lord Jing Yan ask so suddenly?

”You do not need to be nervous,” Jing Yan smiled and said, ”You were able to kill Yan Qin of Eastern Marvel Heaven, likely due to your Soul Cultivator identity, correct? Without Soul Technique Attack, given your strength, you likely could not have killed Yan Qin.”

Xu Yiming paused, somehow feeling that Lord Jing Yan was certain about him being a Soul Cultivator. Concealing seemed unnecessary. Moreover, considering Jing Yan’s capabilities, he would have no need to waste words here.

”Lord Jing Yan, I am indeed a Soul Cultivator,” Xu Yiming admitted.

”Hmm, actually I am also a Soul Cultivator,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Lord Jing Yan is also a Soul Cultivator?” Xu Yiming looked at Jing Yan with some surprise.

The fact that Jing Yan is a Soul Cultivator within Faro Heaven is not overly secretive; many are aware of this. However, Xu Yiming’s level does not afford such information easily.

”Yes, I am a Soul Cultivator,” Jing Yan said, ”In Mixed Element Immortal Domain, Soul Cultivators are very few, even in Nightmare City, Soul Cultivators constitute a minor faction. Xu Yiming, where did you obtain your Soul Technique?”

”I dare not conceal from Lord Jing Yan; my Soul Technique is actually self-realized. I haven’t had the opportunity to acquire a complete Soul Technique. My current Soul Technique is yet imperfect, hence in power, somewhat unimpressive,” Xu Yiming shook his head.

Hearing Xu Yiming’s words, Jing Yan’s eyes slightly changed. Not only Jing Yan, but even Wuxia Immortal Venerable displayed disbelief.

Self-realized Soul Technique?

This is almost unbelievable, a cultivator of Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level able to realize a Soul Technique!

Bear in mind Jing Yan, while in Immortal Charm Realm, had yet to realize a true Soul Technique. His Divine Soul Storm and Divine Soul Wind Blade barely qualify as Soul Techniques. Compared to Soul Technique, their power is negligible, yet Xu Yiming could self-realize a Soul Technique.

”Xu Yiming, show me your Soul Technique,” Jing Yan thought a moment and said to Xu Yiming.

”This... how could I?” Xu Yiming quickly waved his hand.

”It’s alright, although your Divine Soul Body is quite special, the Soul Technique you employ likely cannot harm me,” Jing Yan smiled without concern.

”Use your Soul Technique on me; I want to confirm your Divine Soul Power, to see if my impressions hold,” Jing Yan continued.

”Then Lord Jing Yan, be careful,” Xu Yiming frowned, contemplating before speaking.

Xu Yiming realized that given Lord Jing Yan’s capabilities, likely his Soul Technique Attack would have no effect. Furthermore, Lord Jing Yan is also a Soul Cultivator; a Soul Cultivator of Immortal Venerable Realm, possessing a Divine Soul Body far stronger than ordinary Immortal Venerables.

When Xu Yiming executed his Soul Technique, he did not mobilize much Divine Soul Power.

An intangible power surged toward Jing Yan, upon contact, penetrated his Divine Sea, attacking Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body.
