The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1870: Chapter 1870: Reminiscing About the Past

Chenyuan Emperor looked at Jing Yan with a slight smile.

Observing Jing Yan from the Dao Skill depiction within the Imperial Palace, Chenyuan Emperor was very satisfied. Now seeing him in person, he was even more pleased.

Although Jing Yan’s cultivation was just at the Taoist Realm, he had managed to slay the Void Son Die Dong, and even with one sword strike, he killed Lou Biao, a being at the Peak of All Things Realm. Once Jing Yan enters the All Things Realm, how strong would his combat power be? He might even be able to rival the beings at the Peak of the All Things Realm.

Seeing Chenyuan Emperor’s smile, Jing Yan became increasingly uneasy.

Shelun Country and Hongjun Heavenly Palace don’t seem to have very close relations, do they? Five Lands, Seven Countries! According to Jing Yan’s understanding, Shelun Country is one of the Seven Countries and has no overly intimate relationships with the five Ultimate Forces.

”Young friend Jing Yan!” Chenyuan Emperor spoke.

While Hu Changzai was lost in thought, the Chenyuan Emperor spoke to Jing Yan. As soon as he started speaking, Hu Changzai’s eyes bulged wide, and he instinctively raised his head.

Damn, what’s the situation?

Great Emperor, why so courteous to that Jing Yan? Even addressing him as young friend Jing Yan!

Hu Changzai had thought the Chenyuan Emperor would personally suppress Jing Yan! Now it seems he was wrong.

”Jing Yan greets the Great Emperor!” Jing Yan hurriedly greeted.

Although he did not know why Chenyuan Emperor was so courteous to him, Jing Yan could tell that Chenyuan Emperor had no ill intentions towards him.

”No need for excessive courtesy.” Chenyuan Emperor waved his hand.

”I saw you from the Imperial Palace, so I came to take a look.” Chenyuan Emperor continued.

”Great Emperor! Jing Yan, he killed the Void Son Die Dong.” Hu Changzai couldn’t hold back.

Chenyuan Emperor’s gaze shifted, sweeping over Hu Changzai.

”Hu Changzai, do you think I am unaware of Die Dong’s death?” Chenyuan Emperor frowned, his deep voice containing boundless intimidation.

”Jing Yan, you needn’t worry. Even though Die Dong was a Void Divine Hall Son, you have killed him, and so be it. It’s not that easy for the Void Divine Hall to capture you.” Chenyuan Emperor said, looking at Jing Yan again.

Jing Yan stared blankly at Chenyuan Emperor.

He truly didn’t understand why Chenyuan Emperor treated him so well.

”Die Dong is a Void Son, a core member of the Void Divine Hall. With the death of a Void Son, the Void Divine Hall should soon learn about it. I reckon it won’t be long before the Void Divine Hall sends someone over. Jing Yan, why not come with me.” Chenyuan Emperor squinted slightly: ”Just as well, there are some matters I wish to discuss with you alone.”

”Yes! However, I must ask the Great Emperor to wait a moment. These seniors are my old friends. Let me speak to them briefly first.” Jing Yan nodded in agreement.

Jing Yan had no hesitation about accompanying Chenyuan Emperor since if Chenyuan Emperor intended him harm, he would not need to say so much nor show an intimate attitude. With just a finger, Chenyuan Emperor could suppress or destroy him.

”Hmm, you all may rise.” Chenyuan Emperor nodded, then stepped aside to wait.

The five from the Primordial Chaos Hole all stood up trembling.

”Senior Primordial Chaos Hole, I have learned the Ten Thousand Realms Technique.” Jing Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the body of Primordial Chaos Hole trembled. Then, he understood why Jing Yan addressed them as seniors.

”Lord Jing Yan, do we... do we come from the same place?” Primordial Chaos Hole spoke excitedly.

”Yes, we come from the same universe.” Jing Yan nodded with a smile.

The five people stared at Jing Yan in utter shock. Earlier, they were still guessing Jing Yan’s identity, unsure why he called them seniors. Now, they finally understood.

It’s just that they couldn’t comprehend how Jing Yan’s strength could be so formidable. With cultivation in the Taoist Realm, he could kill experts of the All Things Realm as effortlessly as slicing vegetables.

”Is this the Nine Heavens Golden Dragon, one of the original ancestors of the Beast Clan?” Jing Yan looked at the Nine Heavens Golden Dragon.

In Jing Yan’s home universe, the Nine Heavens Golden Dragon was also called the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, both founding ancestors of the Beast Clan along with the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix.

”I am!” the Nine Heavens Golden Dragon quickly said.

”And this is Senior Qian Kun, presumably the founder of the Qiankun Three Paths. Haha, I’ve studied the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill and the Qiankun Three Paths, which have greatly benefited me.” Jing Yan said, looking at the white-bearded old man Qian Kun.

Qian Kun blew his white beard, eyes wide as he observed Jing Yan.

”I do not know these two.” Jing Yan looked at the remaining male and female beings.

”I am Tuoba Shi.”

”I am Jun Yao.”

The male and female beings spoke their names in turn.

”Lord Jing Yan, we five come from the same universe. Although we did not leave the universe together, we later gathered and have not parted since.” Primordial Chaos Hole said.

Jing Yan had no particular impression of Tuoba Shi and Jun Yao.

This was expected, as the initial creatures of his home universe were many. Jing Yan only knew some.

Through conversation, Jing Yan learned that many original creatures had left the home universe to explore the Endless Chaos. However, most had perished.

Primordial Chaos Hole originally arrived at Changshan Continent in Shelun Country and had stayed there since. Later, through various means, he gradually contacted Qian Kun and others. Together, they had stayed on Changshan Continent to this day.

None of the five had entered the All Things Realm, which was extremely difficult to achieve. When they left the home universe, they were mostly at the Fourth or Fifth Step Dao Method Realm. Now, after eons, none had yet reached the All Things Realm. All five were at the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm in cultivation.

”Seniors, please do not call me Lord. Without you, I, Jing Yan, would not be where I am today. By the way, do you know the whereabouts of Lady Nüwa?” Jing Yan asked.

”Lady Nüwa?”

”I did see Lady Nüwa once a very long time ago. At that time, she had already entered the All Things Realm. After that encounter, there has been no further news of her, and I do not know where she is now.” Primordial Chaos Hole shook his head.

Jing Yan conversed with the five original creatures for quite a while.

When they parted, he presented ample resources to them, items Jing Yan thought would aid their cultivation. Primordial Chaos Hole and the others wished to give Jing Yan a treasure called Aries Star Rhythm, which they serendipitously acquired during a slaughter mission. It was because of this treasure that Die Dong had hunted them. Without Jing Yan’s intervention, they likely would have perished.

This Aries Star Rhythm was a special mineral with a value of millions of Star Stones. However, Jing Yan naturally did not accept this treasure.

”Hu Changzai!” Chenyuan Emperor called Hu Changzai over.

”Great Emperor!” Hu Changzai scrambled over to Chenyuan Emperor’s side.

”These five are guests of Shelun Country. Henceforth, while they cultivate in Changshan Continent, you know what you must do?” Chenyuan Emperor spoke with a light tone.

”Understood! Rest assured, Great Emperor. On Changshan Continent, should anyone dare disrespect these five guests, I will take their life.” Hu Changzai laughed ingratiatingly, nodding at Primordial Chaos Hole and the others.

If one were unaware of the situation, who could believe he was a Mid-stage of Everything Realm expert?
