The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: Nuwa Divine Palace

Hall Master Qiu Lun stared at the scene on the screen, a shocked expression on his face.

”Hall Master Qiu Lun, what did you say? Gravity means?” A hall master looked at Hall Master Qiu Lun and asked in surprise.

”Hmm, it’s almost certain that the power of gravity caused that Die Dong’s transmission treasure to fail. If you look closely, you can also notice the peculiar situation around Die Dong’s body.” Hall Master Qiu Lun nodded.

The people present were all figures at the Controller level. In fact, although they specialize in different means, having cultivated to this level, no method would be completely unfamiliar to them. Even if they haven’t delved deeply, they are surely somewhat knowledgeable.

Therefore, even if Hall Master Qiu Lun didn’t say it, the others could actually quickly understand that the effect on Die Dong came precisely from gravity.

”It’s amazing.”

”This Jing Yan can actually use gravity means, and it seems the power is very strong. Even the Void Divine Hall’s transmission treasure couldn’t escape.” Vice Palace Master Quin took a breath.

And what they saw next, naturally, was the scene of Die Dong being crushed by the gravity spell.

After watching the scene inside the Image Crystal Ball, everyone present did not speak for a long time. Previously, they were still skeptical about Jing Yan’s strength, but now they already know that Jing Yan’s power is indeed capable of killing a Law Realm Void Son.

”Vice Palace Master! Esteemed Hall Masters! You’ve all seen Jing Yan’s strength and talent. I think we should grant Jing Yan the identity of a core disciple in Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Jing Yan is a life emerging from the Seed Universe, having cultivated for a short time, yet his strength is so formidable. As he enters Hongjun Heavenly Palace now, his power will surely surge again, perhaps in a short time, he will advance to the All Things Realm. A genius like him should sweep through the beings of the All Things Realm as soon as he steps into it.” Nuwa Palace Master slowly said.

”Such a genius is extremely rare!”

”Indeed! In the Endless Chaos, I’ve never seen such a formidable Law Realm being.”

”The identity of core disciple should be given.”

”Since everyone has no objections, Jing Yan will be the fourteenth core disciple of Hongjun Heavenly Palace.” Vice Palace Master Quin said solemnly.

After confirming Jing Yan’s strength and talent, there is no reason not to give him the identity of core disciple.

”Jing Yan’s talent is extremely high, if nurtured well, he might become a Controller in the future. I am considered reasonably strong in teaching disciples. Nuwa Palace Master, how about letting Jing Yan join my Divine Hall?” A blue-robed hall master looked at Nuwa Palace Master and said.

This blue-robed Chaos Hall Master is called Niao Cheng, in Hongjun Heavenly Palace, he is one of the oldest qualified Chaos Hall Masters.

His words mean he’s competing with Nuwa Palace Master for Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s strength and talent are indeed terrifying, even Niao Cheng, a Chaos Hall Master, wants to recruit him.

Upon hearing Hall Master Niao Cheng’s words, Nuwa’s face changed slightly, feeling a bit annoyed but unable to act. In Hongjun Heavenly Palace, she has the shallowest qualifications. In terms of foundation, she can’t compare with Hall Master Niao Cheng.

If Hall Master Niao Cheng wants someone, she can’t directly refuse.

In fact, not only Hall Master Niao Cheng has ideas about Jing Yan, but at least three or four hall masters present want to recruit Jing Yan. But they haven’t had the chance to speak before Hall Master Niao Cheng seized the opportunity. Since Hall Master Niao Cheng has already spoken, of course, they cannot speak again.

”Hall Master Niao Cheng, I think it’s best to ask Jing Yan what he thinks. If he is willing to join Niao Cheng Divine Hall, I won’t oppose, even though I was the one who brought him back from Shelun Country.” Nuwa said in a calm tone.

”Haha, good!” Hall Master Niao Cheng laughed.

In his view, Jing Yan is already in his pocket. He, Niao Cheng, being the senior in Hongjun Heavenly Palace, with a rich foundation, surpasses Nuwa Palace Master in every way. As long as Jing Yan isn’t foolish, he certainly wouldn’t choose Nuwa Divine Hall over Niao Cheng’s Divine Hall.

Nuwa Divine Hall is just a newly established hall, what future prospects could it offer?

”Nuwa Palace Master, where is Jing Yan settled at this time? How about we go see him now and see what he thinks?” Hall Master Niao Cheng suggested.

He wants to resolve the matter swiftly.

Jing Yan was brought back by Nuwa Palace Master, and the two have certainly become somewhat familiar. Niao Cheng is worried that after some delay, Nuwa might persuade Jing Yan to join Nuwa Divine Hall. Now, if Nuwa takes him to see Jing Yan immediately, there’s no such concern.

”Okay, I will take Hall Master Niao Cheng over.” Nuwa nodded, agreeing without hesitation.

”I also want to see this Jing Yan.”

”Haha, I have nothing to do, I’ll go with you.”

Two other hall masters also wanted to follow Nuwa Palace Master to meet Jing Yan, the newcomer to Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

...

Jing Yan, sitting cross-legged in front of the mountain building, sensed the Tao Aura inside Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

Even in this short period of insight, Jing Yan felt it was greatly beneficial to him. In such an environment, Jing Yan believed that the obstacles to entering the All Things Realm had greatly diminished.

”Hmm?”

In the midst of insight, Jing Yan’s eyebrows slightly moved, and he immediately opened his eyes. He felt someone flying towards him.

He focused his gaze.

”Lady Nüwa!” Jing Yan saw Nuwa Palace Master.

Beside Nuwa Palace Master were three figures, each exuding an extremely profound aura. Jing Yan instantly knew that the people beside Lady Nüwa were probably the true high-ranking individuals in Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

Jing Yan quickly stood up, and after he did, Nuwa Palace Master, Hall Master Niao Cheng, and the other three people also descended onto the mountain, standing before Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan!” Nuwa Palace Master spoke: ”This is Hall Master Niao Cheng, this is Hall Master Qiu Lun, this is Hall Master Yang Yan!”

Nuwa Palace Master introduced the identities of the three people beside her.

”Jing Yan greets the esteemed Hall Masters!” Jing Yan bowed in salute.

Jing Yan knew that within Hongjun Heavenly Palace, below the Palace Master Ancestor Hong Jun were two Vice Palace Masters, and below them were nine Chaos Hall Masters. Now in front of him were four of the Chaos Hall Masters, including Nuwa Palace Master.

”Not bad!”

”Jing Yan, young fellow, to be able, with Law Realm cultivation, to kill Law Realm Void Son Die Dong, is quite impressive.” Several hall masters opened their mouths to praise Jing Yan with a sentence or two.

”Jing Yan, after our discussions, we’ve decided to grant you the status of a Core Disciple. Shortly, someone will bring you the rewards for your promotion to a Core Disciple,” Nuwa Palace Master said.

”There’s one more thing! After becoming a Core Disciple, you need to choose one of the Nine Halls of the Heavenly Palace to join. Niao Cheng Palace Master hopes you’ll join his Niao Cheng Divine Palace,” Nuwa continued without waiting for Jing Yan to speak.

”Jing Yan, my Niao Cheng Divine Palace is one of the oldest divine halls in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Over the long ages, countless beings have cultivated to the All Things Realm in the Niao Cheng Divine Palace, and even many have reached the Peak of All Things Realm. There have even been beings of Controller Level. By choosing Niao Cheng Divine Palace, you’ll receive the best guidance, and perhaps within millions of years, you could step into the All Things Realm,” Niao Cheng Palace Master said, slightly squinting his eyes as he introduced his Niao Cheng Divine Palace to Jing Yan.

Of course, Niao Cheng Palace Master was not requesting Jing Yan to join Niao Cheng Divine Palace, and there was no such implication in his demeanor. He was merely introducing Niao Cheng Divine Palace to Jing Yan, confident that Jing Yan would soon have his own judgment.

The other two palace masters also looked at Jing Yan without saying a word.

Jing Yan glanced at Niao Cheng Palace Master and then at Nuwa Palace Master.

”Lady Nuwa, you are also a palace master, correct?” Jing Yan inquired.

”Correct! I am in charge of the Nuwa Divine Palace, one of the Nine Halls of the Heavenly Palace. However, the Nuwa Divine Palace has not been established for long and cannot compare to the Niao Cheng Divine Palace,” Nuwa Palace Master said.

”Then I wish to join the Nuwa Divine Palace,” Jing Yan said without hesitation.

”Hmm?” Niao Cheng Palace Master, who was originally half-squinting his eyes, suddenly opened them wide, surprised that Jing Yan would choose the Nuwa Divine Palace over his Niao Cheng Divine Palace.

”Jing Yan, you should think carefully. The foundation of Niao Cheng Divine Palace is extremely rich. The help you can receive at Niao Cheng Divine Palace is beyond your current imagination,” Niao Cheng Palace Master emphasized.

”Niao Cheng Palace Master, I’ve already made up my mind. I want to join the Nuwa Divine Palace,” Jing Yan replied, looking at Niao Cheng Palace Master with a firm tone.

”Alright! Actually, there’s no real difference in joining any of the divine palaces. Since you’ve decided, it’s naturally your right. Nuwa Palace Master, I will take my leave,” Niao Cheng Palace Master nodded slightly, giving Jing Yan a deep look.

With that, he flew away.

Palace Masters Qiu Lun and Yang Yan both smiled. Neither had expected Jing Yan to refuse Niao Cheng Palace Master’s invitation.

”Niao Cheng Palace Master must be regretting inviting Jing Yan personally now!” Hall Master Qiu Lun said with a laugh.

”Definitely regretting! Niao Cheng Palace Master is one of the oldest palace masters at Hongjun Heavenly Palace, and Jing Yan didn’t give him face!” Yang Yan Palace Master also laughed.

Their conversation did not avoid Jing Yan or Nuwa Palace Master.

Clearly, these two palace masters were not very fond of Niao Cheng Palace Master.

”I have no other motives, but because Lady Nuwa personally came to Shelun Country to bring me to Hongjun Heavenly Palace, it is a favor. And, Lady Nuwa and I come from the same Seed Universe. We have more understanding between us,” Jing Yan said to Palace Masters Qiu Lun and Yang Yan.

”Oh?”

”Jing Yan, you say you and Nuwa Palace Master come from the same universe?” Hall Master Qiu Lun asked, slightly stunned.

”Yes, Lady Nuwa’s fame is very high in my home universe,” Jing Yan nodded.

”This...”

”Quite a coincidence, isn’t it?” Hall Masters Qiu Lun and Yang Yan exchanged a glance.

”It’s true that Jing Yan is a cosmic creature from my home universe. Only in the home universe, do beings call me Lady Nuwa,” Nuwa Palace Master said.

She did not mention that Jing Yan was a lifeform of the Human Clan she had personally created.

Hall Masters Qiu Lun and Yang Yan conversed with Jing Yan for a while longer and asked about the Ancient Tree Inheritance. Jing Yan did not lie and told them he had recently entered the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins and learned the Ancient Tree Inheritance Secret Method. As for the identities of the Ancient Vine Elder and Ancient Tree Guardian in the ruins, Jing Yan did not mention them.

Soon after, Hall Masters Qiu Lun and Yang Yan also left. Nuwa Palace Master, meanwhile, took Jing Yan to visit the Nuwa Divine Palace.

The Nuwa Divine Palace is newly established, with fewer internal members and its overall strength being relatively weak. The number of All Things Realm beings is even less than those in the Taoist Realm. In other divine palaces, most have achieved the All Things Realm, and most are Inner Sect Disciples. In the Nuwa Divine Palace, however, there are more Outer Disciples.

This can’t be helped.

Those Inner Sect Disciples, when selecting a divine palace, prioritize the old ones. They probably aren’t confident in receiving much help from the new Nuwa Divine Palace.

Nuwa Palace Master personally taking Jing Yan to tour the Nuwa Divine Palace surprised many members inside, who secretly speculated about Jing Yan’s identity.

”Who is this young man?”

”Don’t recognize him!”

”Nuwa Palace Master seems quite close in attitude towards him.”

”I heard this time Nuwa Palace Master left the Ultimate Land and brought back a life from the Endless Chaos; must be him, right?”

When Nuwa Palace Master returned to Hongjun Heavenly Palace with Jing Yan, many members of the palace saw them, spreading the news. Now, seeing Jing Yan in the Nuwa Divine Palace, members naturally quickly associated it.

”Seems very talented!”

”Certainly, or else would Nuwa Palace Master pay so much attention? She even personally brought him in. If it were an ordinary Outer Disciple, anyone could just guide them briefly.”

”Do you think he could directly become an Inner Sect Disciple?”

Outer Disciples reach to become Inner Sect Disciples is also very difficult. Outer Disciples in the Heavenly Palace have a billion years to cultivate. If they cannot pass the promotion assessment within a billion years, they are sent out. Even if you reach the All Things Realm, it might not guarantee you pass the Inner Sect assessment.

Of course, if you reach the All Things Realm within a billion years, the chances of passing the Inner Sect assessment are high.

Like He Jiu in Laning Country, he didn’t step into the All Things Realm within a billion years, and thus was sent out. He only reached the All Things Realm level billions of years after leaving Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

”Jing Yan, this is the Secret Technique Hall. Inside are some secret techniques obtained from the Heavenly Palace when the divine palace was established, and others I collected from the Endless Chaos. In terms of quantity, it cannot compare with other divine halls,” Nuwa said, leading Jing Yan to the Nuwa Divine Palace’s third layer.

All Nine Halls of the Heavenly Palace have a Secret Technique Hall, storing many secret techniques.

”This is the Cultivation Room. The effect of cultivating inside is very good. However, there are many restrictions on cultivating in the Cultivation Room. Usually, Nuwa Divine Palace members can cultivate in the Cultivation Room for one year every ten thousand years. Jing Yan, as a Heavenly Palace Core Disciple, can cultivate in the Cultivation Room for a hundred years every ten thousand years. Of course, if you have Points from Hongjun Heavenly Palace, you can spend them to exchange for cultivation time in the Cultivation Room,” Nuwa said, taking Jing Yan to the divine palace’s fourth layer.

Here, there are five Cultivation Rooms in total.
