The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1872: Chapter 1872: Hongjun Heavenly Palace’s Reaction

To slay a Void Son of the same realm, such a cultivation genius is enough to become famous in the Endless Chaos.

The Five Ultimate Forces would definitely not remain indifferent to such a cultivation genius. Therefore, Chenyuan Emperor is certain that once the Hongjun Heavenly Palace becomes aware of Jing Yan’s existence and abilities, they will definitely protect Jing Yan with all their might.

Once Jing Yan reaches the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, there will be nothing to worry about. The Void Divine Hall surely can’t march into the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, can it?

Moreover, Jing Yan only killed a Law Realm Void Son. The Void Divine Hall indeed values their Void Sons greatly, but not to the extent of tearing face with the Hongjun Heavenly Palace over it. After all, both are Ultimate Forces.

If Jing Yan were in the Shelun Country, with Chenyuan Emperor, it would be different. The Void Divine Hall would perceive it as Chenyuan Emperor trying to trample on their dignity, and they certainly wouldn’t give up on taking Jing Yan from Chenyuan Emperor easily—perhaps even resorting to extreme measures, such as assassinating Jing Yan directly.

Chenyuan Emperor’s strength is undoubtedly formidable, but he is ultimately not an Ultimate Strong Person, and he cannot guarantee Jing Yan’s safety with absolute certainty.

”Jing Yan, you need not worry too much. I will immediately send a message to Hongjun Heavenly Palace. I believe they should come soon to bring you to the Hongjun Heavenly Palace,” Chenyuan Emperor said.

When people from Hongjun Heavenly Palace come to take Jing Yan away, they certainly won’t use the Super Transmission Array to move him repeatedly. They will open a space-time tunnel to bring Jing Yan directly back from Shelun Country.

Earlier, when Chenyuan Emperor traveled from Imperial Continent to Changshan Continent, he indeed tore open a space-time tunnel. Of course, this was within the Boundary Domain of Shelun Country, where tearing open a space-time tunnel is much simpler and consumes relatively little energy.

Traveling from Shelun Country to the Ultimate Land requires a great deal of energy consumption.

Previously, when Die Dong traveled to Laning Country, the high-ranking members of the Void Divine Hall opened a space-time tunnel for him. Die Dong paid a great price for this, nearly exhausting all the resources he had accumulated over the years.

However, Die Dong made a huge fortune at the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins, acquiring treasures worth over two million Star Stones. These treasures now benefit Jing Yan. Die Dong had a surprising amount of resources, not only from the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins but also some personal life-saving items, such as that Defensive Treasure. This single item alone is worth no less than a million Star Stones.

Not only did Jing Yan acquire Die Dong’s resources, but also those of Lou Biao, who accumulated vast resources after operating a merchant association on Changshan Continent for countless years, likely totaling two to three million Star Stones.

...

The Ultimate Land, Hongjun Heavenly Palace!

As one of the Ultimate Forces, the Hongjun Heavenly Palace naturally has many strong persons within its ranks.

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace is Ancestor Hong Jun. Below him are two Vice Palace Masters. Underneath them are the Nine Chaos Hall Masters.

Beneath the Chaos Hall Masters, there are numerous elders and other members.

On this day, an elder of Hongjun Heavenly Palace hurriedly enters the Heavenly Palace’s Divine Hall, seeking an audience with a presiding Hall Master.

The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Palace also require training and may leave the palace to go elsewhere. However, at any time, there will always be a Hall Master on duty at the Divine Hall, just in case of unexpected situations that need to be addressed promptly.

This Hall Master is a strong person at the Controller Level.

”Respected Hall Master!” the elder said as he approached the Hall Master.

Claiming it was an urgent matter, the Hall Master naturally agreed to see him.

”What has happened?” the Hall Master asked, looking at the elder.

”Yes! Just now, I received a message from Shelun Country,” the elder said.

”Shelun Country? The realm of Chenyuan Emperor!” The Hall Master’s expression slightly changed upon hearing the name Shelun Country. ”Who sent a message to our Hongjun Heavenly Palace?”

”Respected Hall Master, it is Chenyuan Emperor, the ruler of Shelun Country, himself!” The elder lifted his head and emphasized.

”What?” The Hall Master suddenly stood up.

For Chenyuan Emperor, the ruler of Shelun Country, to send a message directly to Hongjun Heavenly Palace was not a common occurrence. Shelun Country is not under the jurisdiction of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. The relationship between Hongjun Heavenly Palace and Shelun Country is also not very close.

But that does not mean Hongjun Heavenly Palace can disregard Chenyuan Emperor. Even Hongjun Heavenly Palace would not easily offend such a formidable strong person as Chenyuan Emperor. Chenyuan Emperor is a powerful figure capable of challenging Ultimate Strong People.

If possible, Hongjun Heavenly Palace would also like to foster good relations with Chenyuan Emperor. However, Chenyuan Emperor has always kept his distance from any Ultimate Force.

”What does Chenyuan Emperor’s message say?” The Hall Master quickly asked, his eyes fluttering with curiosity.

Chenyuan Emperor would not message Hongjun Heavenly Palace for no reason.

”Respected Hall Master! I have recorded the content of Chenyuan Emperor’s message in this Memory Crystal Ball,” the elder said, handing over a crystal ball.

The Hall Master received it, activated his Divine Thought, and examined its contents.

Upon investigation, his expression changed drastically, and his aura subtly shifted.

”This... this...” The Hall Master’s eyes displayed an expression of disbelief.

”Alright, you may leave now,” the Hall Master waved, dismissing the elder.

”Yes!” The elder carefully retreated.

The Hall Master immediately communicated with other high-ranking members.

Soon after, several figures appeared in the Divine Hall of the Heavenly Palace, all of them Hall Masters, and among them was a Vice Palace Master.

”Hall Master Qiu Lun, what on earth has happened?”

”Indeed! To call us all here, something major must have occurred?”

The assembled individuals all looked at the Hall Master named Qiu Lun and inquired. Those high-level figures who could come immediately arrived at once.

Everyone gathered together, their gaze focused on Hall Master Qiu Lun.

”Just a moment ago, I received a message from Chenyuan Emperor, the ruler of Shelun Country!” Qiu Lun began.

”Chenyuan Emperor?” The Vice Palace Master in a gray robe raised an eyebrow.

”Yes, Vice Palace Master. It was Chenyuan Emperor himself who sent the message. He stated that within Shelun Country, a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace killed the Void Divine Hall’s Void Son, Die Dong. This Die Dong was a Void Son of the Law Realm,” Qiu Lun said slowly.

”Hm?”

”Killed a Void Son?”

”This is troublesome! The Void Divine Hall places great importance on their Void Sons. If it were an ordinary member, it could be overlooked. But a Void Son being killed— the Void Divine Hall won’t let this go lightly,” one Hall Master commented, frowning.

”Who killed the Void Son?” the Vice Palace Master asked gravely.

”It was a life named Jing Yan. He possesses the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, but he is a cultivator who just emerged from a Seed Universe and has not formally entered the Hongjun Heavenly Palace,” Qiu Lun explained.

”A cultivator from a Seed Universe?”

”It must be from the Seed Universe that the Palace Master once visited. The Palace Master left the Hongmeng Dao Pattern in some Seed Universes for destined cultivators to practice,” a Hall Master mused.
