The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2088: Gathering Information

As soon as the words were spoken, the curtain opened, and a young and handsome face appeared from inside.

This was indeed a young man, at least he looked young.

He stepped out, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his gaze directed forward, exactly where Jing Yan was.

”Let’s go, let’s take a look and meet our new friend,” said the young man dressed in elegant clothes with a smile.

The two of them stepped forward, walking towards Jing Yan, with the chariot following behind them.

When these two approached, Jing Yan naturally noticed.

If he were within his own Chaos, there was no way Jing Yan wouldn’t notice someone observing him. But he had just entered the Immortal Domain, and was not yet familiar with the Power of Laws here, so while battling the beast, Jing Yan truly did not notice anyone watching him from afar.

Jing Yan, who was busy examining the body of the beast he had just killed, noticed someone approaching and immediately focused his gaze, his expression serious. In the Immortal Domain, he had to be careful, because even though he had entered the Immortal Domain only with a Dharma Body, if it were killed, it would be a huge loss.

The Dharma Body and the main body are largely connected. If the strength of the Dharma Body improves, the realm of the main body will also elevate accordingly, which involves the fundamental origin of Dao Skill that exists in the unseen.

”Brother, you look unfamiliar. You probably aren’t from my Divine Martial City, right?” The young man greeted Jing Yan with a smile.

Jing Yan did not sense any hostility from these two.

Upon hearing the inquiry, he responded, ”I’m new to this place. If I’m causing any disturbance, please forgive me.”

No matter what, being a bit humble shouldn’t be a bad thing.

”Indeed, you aren’t from Divine Martial City. I said, if Brother were a local, with your strength, I would surely have heard about you.” The young man glanced at the man in black beside him and smiled even more.

”How should I address you, Brother?” The young man looked at Jing Yan and continued.

”My name is Jing Yan.” Jing Yan replied.

”So you are Brother Jing Yan. Haha, I am Ying Zuo, the seventh son of the Family Head of the Ying Family; you can just call me Old Seven,” Ying Zuo spoke with much courtesy, without any airs.

In fact, Jing Yan had already discerned from Ying Zuo’s words and actions that this young man must be someone with significant status. Even the man in black beside him wore clothes that emitted a special energy fluctuation, obviously not ordinary clothing, but a Treasure.

”Seventh Young Master!” Jing Yan cupped his hands.

”Brother Jing Yan, let me introduce you. This is Brother Lu Tuan, my Guest.” Ying Zuo pointed to the black-clothed man beside him.

”Brother Lu Tuan.” Jing Yan cupped his hands again.

”Being new to Divine Martial City, Brother Jing Yan must not be very familiar with it. I wonder if you are in a hurry to leave; if not, why not let me show you around Divine Martial City. This Divine Martial City belongs to my Ying Family. Within the Ying Family Territory, only this Divine Martial City has some influence.” Ying Zuo said with a smile.

Jing Yan’s eyes flickered, not agreeing immediately.

He couldn’t help but wonder, is it possible that the Life in the Immortal Domain is so hospitable? Do they treat anyone they randomly meet like this?

It’s probably not possible, right?

Ying Zuo seemed to perceive Jing Yan’s doubts and continued, ”Brother Jing Yan, don’t misunderstand. I appreciate your power since you effortlessly killed a Taoist Realm Ghost Pattern Beast. I, Ying Zuo, love to make friends with powerful Cultivators the most.”

”Seventh Young Master does enjoy befriending Cultivators. Brother Jing Yan, once you get to know the Seventh Young Master, you’ll understand his character,” said the black-clothed man named Lu Tuan from the side.

From these few remarks by Ying Zuo and Lu Tuan, Jing Yan derived some useful information.

The beast he just killed is referred to as Ghost Pattern Beast in the Immortal Domain. Ying Zuo mentioned it as a Taoist Realm Ghost Pattern Beast, which means that the Taoist Realm is used to signify a level of strength within the Immortal Domain.

In the Immortal Domain, Cultivators or Martial Artists seem to be referred to as Cultivators.

The Taoist Realm appears not to be an ordinary level within the Immortal Domain. Cultivators capable of killing Taoist Realm Ghost Pattern Beasts are probably considered relatively powerful. At least that’s true within the Ying Family Territory. Of course, the Ying Family might not be a major influential family in the entire Immortal Domain.

In an instant, Jing Yan thought about many things.

Having just arrived in the Immortal Domain, there is much he doesn’t know, and since Ying Zuo has no hostility towards him, he could learn more information from him. Besides, at the moment, he doesn’t know where to go, so he might as well accompany Ying Zuo.

”In that case, I must thank Seventh Young Master and Brother Lu Tuan.” Jing Yan cupped his hands and expressed gratitude.

”Haha, Brother Jing Yan is refreshing. Let’s head into Divine Martial City. I never expected to encounter a Cultivator like Brother Jing Yan when leaving the city today.” Ying Zuo seemed very pleased.

The three of them headed towards Divine Martial City, with the luxurious chariot following them from behind.

This Divine Martial City is nothing peculiar; it just appears to be a very ordinary city. Within the city, there are many Cultivators. Ying Zuo seems to be well-connected; upon entering the city, many Cultivators proactively greet him.

Ying Zuo took Jing Yan to a restaurant, ordered a table of tasty delicacies, and naturally, there was fine wine.

The cuisine in the Immortal Domain differs from the food commonly found in the Chaos World. Xiao Ran consumed some and discovered that these foods could actually enhance one’s Divine Power.

What Xiao Ran did not know is that this table of delicious delicacies is also very expensive in the Immortal Domain. Typically, ordinary Cultivators couldn’t afford just one dish from this table, let alone the entire table.

Ying Zuo is very talkative; from entering Divine Martial City, through to the restaurant, he hardly stopped talking. Jing Yan mostly listened, rarely interrupting. He is very unfamiliar with the Immortal Domain, and saying too much might arouse Ying Zuo’s suspicion. Lu Tuan also spoke little, just smiling quietly beside them.

Throughout the meal, Jing Yan obtained considerable information. The area he is in is under absolute control of the Ying Family. The Family Head of the Ying Family is also the Lord of this region, a formidable figure.

In the Immortal Domain, above the Taoist Realm is the All Things Realm. Yet, above the All Things Realm is not a Controller but rather a term called the Nether Sky Realm. When Ying Zuo mentioned the Nether Sky Realm, there was unmistakable zeal in his eyes, indicating that a strong person in the Nether Sky Realm must be a top character in this region.

Based on Ying Zuo’s tone, Jing Yan inferred that Ying Zuo’s father, the Family Head of the Ying Family, is a Nether Sky Realm powerhouse.

Thus, a Controller Level powerhouse from the Chaos World also counts as a prominent figure in the Immortal Domain. At least sufficiently significant to rule a territory as a Lord.
