The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: Emperor Donghuang and Yihua Palace Master

Jing Yan returned to the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, where Ye Zhen, Quin, and others including the Nuwa Palace Master had gathered to welcome him, each with an expression of excitement on their faces.

Their Palace Master Jing Yan was truly magnificent! Just by himself, he managed to render the entire Boundaryless Spirit Mountain speechless.

From now on, the stature of Palace Master Jing Yan in the Chaotic Universe was likely to rise to a whole new level. Although Palace Master Jing Yan had not yet reached the Controller level, his combat power already surpassed that of a Title Controller.

Jing Yan chatted briefly with the group from Hongjun Heavenly Palace and then let everyone disperse to attend to their own affairs.

As the news of Jing Yan single-handedly killing the Deputy Mountain Master of Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, Kong Ying, spread in Chaos, Jing Yan’s prestige also reached a whole new height.

It’s important to know that the creatures of the Endless Chaos are innumerable, but how many are at the All Things Realm, Taoist Realm, or Controller? Even the number of Taoist Realm beings actually constitutes a small part of the entire life forms. Those who haven’t even reached the Taoist Realm, of course, are grateful to Palace Master Jing Yan.

The words of Jing Yan at the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain are a restraint for those relatively strong beings, yet a protection for the weaker ones. How could the weaker beings not be grateful to Palace Master Jing Yan?

A few days passed.

On the fourth day after Jing Yan went alone to the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain to kill Kong Ying, Yihua Palace Master from the Luoshui Divine Palace came to the Hongjun Heavenly Palace to visit Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was very courteous to Yihua Palace Master as well.

Upon seeing Yihua Palace Master, Jing Yan was secretly a bit puzzled in his heart. Jing Yan did not know much about this Yihua Palace Master, mainly learning some information from members of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. This Yihua Palace Master was also a figure with a very strong legendary aura, and her growth experience was completely different from most Title Controllers.

Jing Yan was quite sure that Yihua Palace Master was unlikely to visit him without any reason.

When the two were seated in the reception hall of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

”Palace Master Jing Yan, I came to visit you today because there’s something I want to talk to you about. This matter is very important, so I have to be very cautious and careful, I hope you understand!” Yihua Palace Master said in a low voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her arm and waved it in the space. A light curtain spread out, isolating the interior from the outside.

Jing Yan watched this action of Yihua Palace Master without stopping her.

”Please go ahead, Yihua Palace Master!” Jing Yan said.

”Palace Master Jing Yan, why don’t you take a look at this first.” Yihua Palace Master turned her palm over, and a black object appeared in her hand.

This thing looked like a book. Under the divinely powered control of Yihua Palace Master, the black book flew in front of Jing Yan, who raised his hand to catch it.

It was indeed a book, with words on it, like a kind of record.

Jing Yan’s gaze swept over it, and then his pupils shrank, revealing a hint of surprise.

Because the content recorded at the very first line was shocking.

”I, Emperor Donghuang, personally wrote the following content!” That was the first line on the black book.

Emperor Donghuang!

In Chaos, an exceptionally talented and extraordinary powerhouse. Before Jing Yan, Emperor Donghuang was the life form that took the least time to cultivate to the All Things Realm. And even at the All Things Realm, he could battle with Controllers. In some secret records, Emperor Donghuang once killed a life form of the Controller level while at the Peak of All Things Realm. Moreover, in some secret records, Emperor Donghuang only took ten million years to step from the All Things Realm into the Controller level.

Regarding this, most chaos creatures have no knowledge, only a few Title Controllers are aware of this.

”A record left by Emperor Donghuang? What could it be about?” Jing Yan’s heart trembled.

He quickly read through it, and after he finished, he couldn’t help but let out a breath. The sense of shock not only didn’t diminish, but it intensified greatly.

”Palace Master Jing Yan, what are your thoughts?” Yihua Palace Master asked when she saw that Jing Yan had gone through the records.

”This...”

”Yihua Palace Master, is the content on this indeed written by Emperor Donghuang?” Jing Yan looked at Yihua Palace Master as he shuffled the black book, which was actually several sheets of Beast Skin stacked together.

”Yes, I can assure it was written by Emperor Donghuang himself because the item was given to me personally by Emperor Donghuang. Moreover, back then, Emperor Donghuang had already reached the Title Controller level in this Chaos, it’s just that outsiders are unaware of it. Even other Title Controllers didn’t know.” Yihua Palace Master nodded.

”I understand.”

”How astonishing, I never expected Emperor Donghuang to have reached this level back then!” Jing Yan said in an admiring tone.

”Palace Master Jing Yan, I think you are slightly doubtful, but you don’t seem surprised by the information Emperor Donghuang mentioned about Beyond Chaos, am I mistaken?” Yihua Palace Master asked with a slight frown.

”I am indeed not surprised by this!”

”Because I know there are indeed higher levels Beyond Chaos.” Jing Yan smiled.

”The demise of the Ancient Tree Elder is related to some things Beyond Chaos. The Devouring Sky Clan creatures also come from Beyond Chaos! The Ancient Tree Elder once found some clues, almost proving that the Devouring Sky Clan creatures were deliberately placed into this Chaos by someone or some individuals from Beyond Chaos!” Jing Yan continued.

”I see!” Yihua Palace Master nodded.

”Yihua Palace Master, you were well acquainted with Emperor Donghuang? So... do you know whether Emperor Donghuang truly perished?” Jing Yan turned and asked.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s question, Yihua Palace Master’s eyes flashed with a faint hint of sadness, and seemingly a trace of confusion.

”Palace Master Jing Yan!”

”There’s no harm in telling you this. In fact, I had a Daoist couple relationship with Emperor Donghuang.” Yihua Palace Master said softly.

Daoist couple?

Jing Yan was once again stunned; he truly wasn’t mentally prepared for this. Yihua Palace Master and Emperor Donghuang were actually Daoist couples? Moreover, this Daoist couple both reached the Title Controller Realm?

”Whether Emperor Donghuang is dead or alive, I don’t know either. However... if he were still alive, why wouldn’t he have come back to find me for billions of years? He could let the whole Chaos go, but not me, I know. So, if he were still alive, he would definitely come back to find me. But he hasn’t returned, so...” The breath of Yihua Palace Master slightly fluctuated, even her words were somewhat chaotic, but Jing Yan understood her meaning very clearly.

”Yihua Palace Master, what do you mean by coming to find me?” Jing Yan asked.

”I would like to ask Palace Master Jing Yan to go with me to the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone! Emperor Donghuang once obtained some things in the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone, which guided him toward Beyond Chaos. I want to go to the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone to see what’s there. But with my own strength, I can’t enter the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone!” Yihua Palace Master raised her brows, looking at Jing Yan.
