The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2238: Chapter 2238: Earning Fame for Jing Yan

Wuxia Immortal Venerable casually responded to the crowd’s enthusiastic faces.

“Daoist Wu Xia!” The figure of Yuantong Immortal Venerable appeared in front of Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

After receiving a message from Wu Guo Heavenly Lord, he had come to the vicinity of the Immortal Venerable Tower not long after.

“Yuantong Immortal Venerable!” Wuxia Immortal Venerable saw Yuantong and bowed slightly.

In fact, the one who got the news in advance was not only Yuantong Immortal Venerable. Those Immortal Venerables with great backing or extremely strong strength—if they became curious and asked Wu Guo Heavenly Lord, then most of the time Wu Guo Heavenly Lord had to give them face. Besides, telling them ahead of time that the new Immortal Venerable was Wuxia was also a trivial matter. Once Wuxia Immortal Venerable walked out of the Immortal Venerable Tower, all cultivators would know the new Immortal Venerable was Wuxia.

While Wuxia Immortal Venerable was conversing with Yuantong Immortal Venerable, some other heavyweights also walked over.

Someone even asked Wuxia Immortal Venerable what Immortal Venerable Seal she had obtained inside the Immortal Venerable Tower.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable of course wouldn’t reveal it casually. For matters this secret, the fewer who know, the better.

The Immortal Venerable Seal is something that directly relates to an Immortal Venerable’s combat power.

Those cultivators who force their breakthrough to the Immortal Venerate Realm using external objects and thus cannot obtain an Immortal Venerable Seal—why is their combat power so far inferior to true Immortal Venerables? The main reason lies in this Immortal Venerable Seal.

Of course, everything has exceptions. There are a few Immortal Venerables who, even without an Immortal Venerable Seal, still possess extremely shocking combat power, enough to crush most Immortal Venerables who have obtained a seal.

Just like Black River Heavenly Monarch, an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator, who can actually kill weaker Immortal Venerables.

These are all exceptional cases, extremely rare. In all of Faro Heaven, there is only this one freak like Black River Heavenly Monarch.

“Everyone, once Fellow Daoist Jing Yan leaves seclusion, I’ll set up a banquet in Wuxia City, and I will invite you all then.” Wuxia Immortal Venerable didn’t want to continue entangling herself with the crowd here, so she spoke up.

Hearing Wuxia Immortal Venerable say she would host a banquet, everyone’s eyes lit up. Immediately, they all felt a bit puzzled, because Wuxia Immortal Venerable mentioned a name—Jing Yan.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable said she would wait until Fellow Daoist Jing Yan came out of closed-door cultivation before holding the banquet.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable hosting a banquet—what does that have to do with Jing Yan?

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable, this Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is…?” Someone asked on the spot.

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is my benefactor. If not for Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to step into the Immortal Venerable Realm.” Wuxia Immortal Venerable said with a smile.

She deliberately said it like this, intentionally bringing up Jing Yan in front of so many people, with the purpose of spreading Jing Yan’s fame. Although Jing Yan might not care much about reputation, Wuxia Immortal Venerable felt that if Jing Yan’s name spread, it should still be very beneficial to him.

Sure enough, as soon as Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s words came out, the whole place fell silent.

Even those Immortal Venerable powerhouses were stunned; even Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s eyes showed a look of astonishment. Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s step into the Immortal Venerable Realm was actually with Jing Yan’s help?

Yuantong Immortal Venerable understood that Wuxia Immortal Venerable was absolutely not someone who would lie to deceive everyone. Since she said so, it must be the truth. Moreover, in the past several tens of thousands of years, Jing Yan had always been living in Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion—within this, there must be something…

Wuxia Immortal Venerable and Yuantong Immortal Venerable went together to pay respects to Wu Guo Heavenly Lord.

And the cultivators all began to move, investigating one matter: namely, who was the Jing Yan mentioned by Wuxia Immortal Venerable. Because Jing Yan had defeated Black River Heavenly Monarch in Yellow Spring Cave, his reputation was already quite large. On that basis, it was easy to trace information about Jing Yan.

“What is the origin of this Jing Yan?”

“He actually defeated Black River Heavenly Monarch with Immortal Charm Cultivation? Just how strong must his strength be!”

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable even said her step into the Immortal Venerable Realm was thanks to Jing Yan’s help. Jing Yan is an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator—how could he possibly help Wuxia Immortal Venerable break through her realm shackles?”

“But Wuxia Immortal Venerable can’t be lying!”

“Exactly! Before this, Wuxia Immortal Venerable showed no signs of breaking through realm shackles; it was as if she suddenly broke through all at once. There must be things here we don’t know. Stepping into Immortal Venerable—how could it be something so simple? I don’t believe in so-called luck!”

“Investigate! We must investigate and find out clearly how Jing Yan helped Wuxia Immortal Venerable. If there is a method that can let an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator step into the Immortal Venerable Realm, then no matter what method it is or how great the cost, we must uncover it.”

“…” It seemed the whole of Faro Heaven was being stirred.

Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters’ lair.

“All of you Elders know, right?”

On the side of Mystic Moon Trading House, the Elder Council was convened once again, with Elder Kuo Lian and Elder Yu Hui both present.

“This Jing Yan is truly somewhat terrifying!”

“Yes. Fortunately, we remedied our relationship with him in time, otherwise our situation would be rather awkward. Truly worthy of being Thunder Emperor’s disciple!”

“What do you think? How exactly did he help Wuxia Immortal Venerable? Could it be that he has some treasure that can help Immortal Rhythm Cultivators break through realm shackles?”

“It’s useless to speculate here. Better to wait until Wuxia Immortal Venerable hosts the banquet; we’ll go and sound things out. Wuxia Immortal Venerable said she would wait until Jing Yan leaves seclusion to hold the banquet—obviously that means Jing Yan will be attending as well!”

The Elders of Mystic Moon Trading House were all calculating with a strong sense of desire.

Obviously, Mystic Moon Trading House was not the only one in such a state. Several Immortal Domain Level forces of Faro Heaven, as well as those powerful Immortal Venerable Cultivators, all had similar plans.

In short, Jing Yan’s name had thoroughly spread throughout the upper echelons of Faro Heaven. And it was quickly showing a trend of spreading downward. It was believed that it wouldn’t take long before the name Jing Yan would be known to everyone. Faro Heaven was a Heavenly Domain, vast and boundless, yet the speed at which such news spread was truly astonishing.

Of course, there were also some who did not believe Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s breakthrough had received Jing Yan’s help; they did not think that a cultivator of Immortal Venerable Realm—even one who had defeated Black River Heavenly Monarch as an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator—could possibly possess a method to let Immortal Rhythm Cultivators step into the Immortal Venerable Realm.

In their view, even an Immortal Emperor might not necessarily have such means, let alone a mere Immortal Rhythm Cultivator.

After Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Wuxia Immortal Venerable left Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s Faro Heavenly Palace, they returned together. On the way back, Yuantong Immortal Venerable did not overly pry into Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s more secret information, such as what her Immortal Venerable Seal was, or how Jing Yan helped her step into the Immortal Venerable Realm.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable, however, took the initiative to tell Yuantong Immortal Venerable that her Immortal Venerable Seal was the Sky Suppressing Seal. Wen Yan, Yuantong Immortal Venerable repeatedly congratulated Wuxia Immortal Venerable. This Sky Suppressing Seal counted as a very good Immortal Venerable Seal. With this seal, it wouldn’t take long before Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s strength might be comparable to his, Yuantong Immortal Venerable. His own seal’s grade was one tier lower than the Sky Suppressing Seal.
