The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Lord Jing Yan Has Arrived

Chen Long had mentally prepared himself for Jing Yan’s combat power.

After all, slaying the Saint Realm warrior of the Gai Family demonstrated that Jing Yan’s combat power should be above the most ordinary Saint Realm martial artists.

However, Chen Long didn’t care too much about it. In the great war between gods and humans, whether it was the Human Clan or the Divine Race, many powerful Saint Realm martial artists fell; Chen Long had seen too many.

Even after Jing Yan swung his sword and unleashed the Sword Light, Chen Long was indifferent and at ease.

It was not until his Palm Seal made contact with the restrained black Sword Light that he exclaimed, ”How is this possible?”

”How could there be the power of Divine Skills? This...” Chen Long was truly startled.

He hurriedly circulated his mental method to increase the power of his strike, with the power of the Law on his Palm Seal surging wildly.

Inside the Great Hall, the Palm Seal and the Sword Light fiercely clashed.

Chen Long grew more and more surprised.

”It is indeed the Power of Divine Skills! That’s right, it’s Divine Skills. Although it’s not complete yet, it already has a rudimentary form. Given time, it can be continuously perfected until one comprehends the true Divine Skills. Moreover, this is a type of Divine Skill with exceptional attack power!” Chen Long looked at Jing Yan with disbelief in his eyes.

A martial artist who had just entered the Saint Realm already mastered a Divine Skill, and it was one of high grade.

As for the exact grade, Chen Long wasn’t certain, but he could confirm that it was definitely not a low-level Divine Skill.

You should know that even in the God Realm, Divine Skills were extremely rare. Ordinary Saint Realm martial artists would not manage to grasp a low-level Divine Skill in their lifetime.

And those who could master Divine Skills were considered geniuses in the God Realm, valuable talents worth cultivating.

Chen Long wasn’t a native of this world; he had come here from the God Realm.

”Snap!”

Two or three breaths later, the black Sword Light dissipated, and Chen Long’s Palm Shadow gradually vanished as well.

”That’s enough, we can stop here!” Jing Yan was about to continue attacking, but Chen Long waved his hand to stop him.

He had already understood enough about Jing Yan’s combat power.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, your talent is indeed astonishingly high. However, you mentioned staying in the Heavenly Origin Continent for another three years. That is too long; I cannot agree to that. Instead, I will give you one year. This year should be enough for you to deal with many matters,” Chen Long said to Jing Yan.

Hearing this, Jing Yan immediately expressed his gratitude.

His initial proposal of three years was a tentative one. In fact, even if Chen Long had agreed to let him stay for three years, he probably wouldn’t have stayed that long. After all, his mother might still be suffering. Jing Yan also wanted to set out for the Despair Abyss as soon as possible to find his mother.

There was also the Bai Xue City Lord. She had ventured into the Despair Abyss alone for his sake and had since disappeared without a trace. If Bai Xue City Lord was still alive, Jing Yan would certainly seek out her whereabouts.

One year given by Guardian Chen Long was indeed sufficient for Jing Yan to use.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I won’t say much else. Let’s exchange our Divine Soul Imprints for direct contact in the future,” Chen Long said, taking out his Communication Crystal Stone.

Exchanging Divine Soul Imprints meant leaving one’s Divine Soul Imprint within the other’s Communication Crystal Stone.

A Communication Crystal Stone allowed martial artists to communicate with each other, but one couldn’t just communicate with anyone; you needed to have the person’s Divine Soul Imprint stored inside the Crystal Stone to directly send messages.

Jing Yan, of course, did not refuse.

Afterward, Chen Long said his farewells and left.

Giving Jing Yan one year was quite generous, enough to prove that Chen Long respected Jing Yan.

If it were any ordinary Saint Realm martial artist, it was impossible to be granted such a long period. Just like the Saint Realm martial arts of the Gai Family, Chen Long would think it good enough to grant them three to five days.

Shen Chong was also very surprised.

He couldn’t see clearly what happened during the exchange between Jing Yan and Chen Long, nor could he understand the power of Jing Yan’s sword.

But Shen Chong, with a clear mind, combined with the change in Guardian Chen Long’s attitude towards Jing Yan before and after, he clearly recognized that Jing Yan’s sword was taken very seriously by Guardian Chen Long.

After a few words with Shen Chong, Jing Yan said goodbye and returned to his Residence.

A few days passed.

”Boom!”

Within a secret chamber of the residence, a robust aura suddenly surged towards the sky.

Jing Yan, who was drinking tea in the courtyard, first paused, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

In a flash, he moved to the outside of the secret chamber.

At that moment, his father Jing Lunnan emerged from the secret chamber.

Dao Emperor Realm!

His father Jing Lunnan had finally succeeded in breaking through from the Dao King Realm to the Dao Emperor Realm!

Because he had just broken through, the Qi Fluctuation around Jing Lunnan was still incredibly intense.

”Father, congratulations!” Jing Yan said, smiling in celebration.

”Jing Yan? You’re back? The Gai Family...” Jing Lunnan, seeing Jing Yan in front of him, also expressed surprise.

He had entered seclusion after Jing Yan led the Glory Alliance to attack the Gai Family. Before coming out of seclusion, he didn’t know that Jing Yan had wiped out the Gai Family. Thus, seeing Jing Yan so suddenly caught him off guard.

”The Gai Family no longer exists; the family has become history,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”What?” This time, Jing Lunnan was genuinely shocked.

The Gai Family no longer existed? What did that mean? Could it be that the Gai Family had been destroyed?

Jing Yan briefly explained, and it took quite some time for Jing Lunnan to recover from the shock.

”Father, you’ve just had a successful breakthrough and need to stabilize your realm,” Jing Yan suggested.

”Jing Yan, have you really achieved the Saint Path?” Jing Lunnan seemed not to hear Jing Yan’s words and asked excitedly after taking a deep breath.

Seeing Jing Yan nod in confirmation, Jing Lunnan burst into laughter, his eyes blazing with genuine joy.

In the following days, Jing Lunnan stabilized his newly achieved realm. With the Elixirs provided by Jing Yan, his realm became stable very quickly.

Jing Yan not only gave his father a great amount of precious Ninth-level Elixirs but also shared some of his Divine Crystals and two Heavenly Repairing Pills. Jing Yan also instructed Jing Lunnan that the Heavenly Repairing Pill should only be used at the Dao Emperor Realm Peak; using it before reaching that level would be a waste.

One day, above the skies of Lanqu County City!

”Lanqu County!”

”Ha ha, I haven’t been back in decades, and now I’m finally back!” Jing Lunnan said, excited.

”Father, let’s go down and see Prince Zhou Shangyun. Prince Zhou Shangyun has been very kind to me,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”Sure!” Jing Lunnan nodded.

The two descended from the sky and came outside the Prince Manor.

”Lord Jing Yan?” The Guard immediately recognized Jing Yan, cried out in surprise, and then rushed into the Prince Manor, evidently to inform Prince Zhou Shangyun at the first opportunity that Lord Jing Yan had arrived.
