The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 959: Chapter 959: Waiting for the Little One to Be Born

Hong Yan had never planned to take back the imaging crystal she handed out.

Previously, Xuanqing also told her that Lord Jing Yan might reward her with some resources because of it, so when she saw Jing Yan handing over a Sumeru Ring, she accepted it casually. Making gestures of politeness at this time would be too childish; what kind of person is Lord Jing Yan to need her courtesy?

”You two, let’s part ways here!” Jing Yan nodded to the two and disappeared in a flash.

Xuanqing and Hong Yan both watched Jing Yan leave; only when he was out of sight did they prepare to return to the Skywalking Continent.

”Ah!” At this moment, Hong Yan suddenly exclaimed.

She had just checked the resources inside the Sumeru Ring and was truly startled by the quantity of resources inside.

She was mentally prepared, but she still did not expect the resources Jing Yan gave her to be so astonishing in number.

These resources were enough to make a Martial Artist in the Saint Realm envious. With so many resources, she could easily find a place to close her practice until she steps into the Saint Realm without worrying about cultivation resources anymore.

”Hong Yan, what’s wrong?” Xuanqing, however, was unaware of Hong Yan’s inner turmoil.

”Holy Master, look at these resources...” Hong Yan handed the Sumeru Ring to Xuanqing, ”Could Lord Jing Yan have given me the wrong ring?”

Hong Yan indeed had this worry.

Lord Jing Yan surely had many Sumeru Rings on him. The resources stored in this ring were too much; could it be that Jing Yan had taken the wrong ring by mistake and hadn’t really intended to give her the resources in this one?

Xuanqing checked the Sumeru Ring as well.

”Hiss!”

Even as a Martial Artist at the Saint Realm Third Stage, he was truly startled by the resources in the Sumeru Ring and took a sharp breath.

The resources inside this ring alone, especially those dazzling Ninth-level Elixirs, were enough to leave anyone unsettled.

”Hong Yan, don’t overthink it. What kind of figure is Lord Jing Yan? How could he take the wrong ring?” Xuanqing returned the Sumeru Ring to Hong Yan.

”Besides, while these resources seem incredibly precious to us, they might not be worth much to Lord Jing Yan. He is the strongest Pill Master, after all—these Elixirs might have been refined by him personally.” Xuanqing said with a tone of slight envy.

Upon hearing the Saint Master Xuanqing’s words, Hong Yan was finally reassured.

Despair Abyss, Chu Family.

”Jing Yan, did you ask us to come over because there’s something you need?” Jing Lunnan asked in a puzzled tone.

In the room were Jing Yan, Gao Feng, Jing Lunnan, and Chu Lianxing, four people in total. Jing Yan asking them to come over was clearly to say something.

”Indeed, there is something.” Jing Yan nodded, smiling at his father Jing Lunnan.

Then, he took out something resembling an Array Plate.

”I would like to discuss with you how to distribute this item.” Jing Yan said as he placed the item resembling an Array Plate on the table.

”Jing Yan, what is this thing?” Chu Lianxing frowned.

It looks like an Array Plate, but it definitely wouldn’t be that simple. If it were just an Array Plate, why would Jing Yan treat it so seriously?

”This is a Law Ancestor.” Jing Yan introduced, ”Twenty years ago, Mr. Zhong obtained it. I originally thought Mr. Zhong would send this Law Ancestor away. But after I killed him, I found this Law Ancestor among his remaining belongings.”

Back then, Mr. Zhong’s avatar indeed did not send the Law Ancestor back to the God Realm in time. The specific reason, of course, only Mr. Zhong himself knew. However, one might guess: Mr. Zhong probably intended to wait until he gathered the Five Elements Power for his avatar to personally take the Law Ancestor and the Five Elements Power back to the God Realm. He might not have trusted anyone else with it.

But he never expected that his avatar would be slain by Jing Yan, and the Law Ancestor would end up in Jing Yan’s hands.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, both Chu Lianxing and Jing Lunnan were somewhat surprised, for they too understood the rarity and value of a Law Ancestor.

”There is only one Law Ancestor, and all three of you are my closest relatives. So I can’t decide how to distribute it.” Jing Yan said with a wry smile and shook his head.

It seemed inappropriate to decide who to give it to. If there were three Law Ancestors, it would be perfect—one for each of them.

Mother Chu Lianxing was in the Saint Realm and could immediately refine the Law Ancestor. Meanwhile, father Jing Lunnan and Gao Feng were both at the Dao Emperor Realm Peak, and it wouldn’t be long before they could also ascend to the Saint Realm.

”Jing Yan, why don’t you refine this Law Ancestor yourself?” Jing Lunnan asked.

Refining a Law Ancestor could allow one to instantly grasp approximately ten thousand Laws, which would supposedly greatly enhance Jing Yan’s strength as well, wouldn’t it?

”I don’t need it.” Jing Yan shook his head.

Jing Yan possessed the Fire Origin, and his comprehension of Laws was astonishingly fast. Over the past twenty years, he constantly practiced with the help of the Fire Origin, mastering over thirty thousand Laws. Of course, as the number of Laws mastered increased, the speed of comprehension gradually slowed down.

If Jing Yan used this Law Ancestor, it would indeed be highly beneficial, but giving it to his father, mother, or wife would be even more meaningful.

”I have already decided not to use it myself, so there’s no need to persuade me.” Jing Yan spoke firmly before Chu Lianxing could interject.

”Let father or mother use it instead.” Gao Feng said obediently, standing by Jing Yan’s side.

Jing Yan smiled and patted Gao Feng’s arm.

Chu Lianxing and Jing Lunnan exchanged a glance.

”To refine a Law Ancestor, one needs to be in the Saint Realm, right? I’m only in the Emperor Realm.” Jing Lunnan chuckled.

”Jing Yan, I also do not wish to refine this Law Ancestor,” Chu Lianxing said with a serious expression. ”Now, living together with your father, I feel quite happy. In terms of cultivation, it’s best to go with the flow. Ultimately, how far one can cultivate isn’t the most important thing.”

”My suggestion is to give the Law Ancestor to Feng’er.” Chu Lianxing shifted her gaze to Gao Feng, a gentle look in her eyes. ”Although Feng’er has yet to step into the Saint Realm, it’s just a matter of time. Once Feng’er steps into the Saint Realm and refines the Law Ancestor, she can ascend to be a Void God.”

”How can that be?” Gao Feng shook her head repeatedly.

”Jing Yan, I agree and support your mother’s suggestion,” Jing Lunnan added.

Jing Yan looked at his mother and father. He knew that their words were sincere, without any insincerity.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he nodded, ”Then let it be for Feng’er.”

Jing Yan handed the Array Plate-like item sealed with the Law Ancestor to Gao Feng.

”Feng’er, this is a decision made by my father, mother, and I together. You can no longer refuse.” Jing Yan said, ”Of course, you shouldn’t practice recently. Rest well and save your energy, and discuss everything after the little one is born.”

Jing Yan smiled.

That’s right, Gao Feng was expecting a baby.

Gao Feng blushed and lowered her head.

Jing Lunnan and Chu Lianxing both chuckled softly, looking at Gao Feng.

Jing Yan’s child would be born next year, but whether it would be a boy or a girl was unknown.
