The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Matchup Information

Each martial artist participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting can obtain one All Paths Fruit before the meeting officially begins.

All Paths Fruit is a precious fruit similar to the Enlightenment Fruit, but its effects far exceed that of low-level Enlightenment Fruit.

The Enlightenment Fruit in the Enlightenment Tree Space of Luo Jiu Divine Palace is a low-level Enlightenment Fruit.

The formation of the Enlightenment Tree Space is extremely mysterious. Even the great powers of the God Realm cannot grasp its reasons. It is said that the Enlightenment Tree lives within the chaos, but within many divine domains of the God Realm, the Enlightenment Tree Space will appear.

The vast universe has many mysterious and incomprehensible places, and the Enlightenment Tree Space is just one of them.

At this moment, when Long Li said that Jing Yan would at least get one All Paths Fruit, it carried a clear sense of insult. The implication was that Jing Yan would fail in the first round of competition, only earning the basic All Paths Fruit reward given before the Immortal Bridge Meeting starts, as if it wasn’t a wasted trip.

Such words are truly unpleasant to hear.

On Jing Yan’s somewhat somber face, a smile suddenly appeared. He looked at Long Li and said, ”Sect Master Long...”

Just as Jing Yan wanted to ask if he had ever offended Sect Master Long, a voice transmission entered Jing Yan’s divine soul.

This voice transmission from Sect Master Gao Jufan of the Xuanqing Sect informed Jing Yan that Long Li had a close relationship with Pill Master Zhen Qing.

In an instant, Jing Yan understood why Long Li was filled with hostility towards him at first sight.

”Did Pill Master Zhen Qing embarrass Sect Master Long in the past?” Jing Yan continued with the words ’Sect Master Long,’ and the smile on his face turned into a cold sneer.

Since Long Li intends to stand up for Zhen Qing, Jing Yan naturally wouldn’t continue to be patient and polite.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Long Li’s face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes narrowed.

”It seems Mr. Yan Jin has misunderstood. I was just being honest. Mr. Yan Jin is so young and comes from a low-level divine domain. You may not understand the difficulties of the Immortal Bridge Meeting. I can tell Mr. Yan Jin that Main God True Origin and Tri-Floral Main Gods might all be encountered at the Immortal Bridge Meeting.”

”Heh heh...”

”Mr. Yan Jin, an ordinary Main God realm divine pill master, not to mention encountering Main God True Origin and Tri-Floral Main Gods, even facing ordinary Main Gods might result in a grim situation!” Long Li’s voice was sardonic, mocking Jing Yan’s ignorance.

Upon hearing Long Li’s words, Jing Yan’s heart tightened. This Long Li had mentioned that he came from a low-level divine domain. It seems this person had investigated his background. I’m afraid Long Li is not the only one who has done so.

Fortunately, at the time, I traveled from the White Sand Divine Domain on the Void Divine Ship, not from the Luli Divine Domain.

”Is Sect Master Long showing concern for me?” Jing Yan’s eyes flickered. ”Ah, Sect Master Long has a close relationship with Pill Master Zhen Qing. It seems it’s not concern for me but rather an attempt to humiliate me. However, I think Sect Master Long may be disappointed; he might even lose face because of it. I believe I will not stop at the first round during the Immortal Bridge Meeting. At that time, Sect Master Long might feel awkward.”

”Is that so?”

”Then I will enjoy watching how long Mr. Yan Jin can keep laughing!” Long Li’s voice turned deep.

The tension between Jing Yan and Long Li was so intense it was suffocating.

”Hahaha...” Solo Domain Lord suddenly laughed and said, ”Being able to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting is a fortune in itself. No matter how far one progresses, it is a matter of fate. Just think, with so many Main Gods participating, not even half will make it past the first round. Who can guarantee they won’t be among those eliminated?”

Solo Domain Lord’s seemingly irrelevant remark somewhat helped Jing Yan out of the situation. He was implying that even being eliminated in the first round was normal.

”The Lord Domain is right.” Xiao Wangyue nodded. ”At the Immortal Bridge Meeting, not even a Tri-Floral Main God dares to say they will definitely pass the first round. Historically, there have been Tri-Floral Main Gods who were eliminated in the first round.”

”However, Sect Master Gao Jufan seems to have full confidence in Alchemist Yan Jin. Otherwise, why would he sacrifice a disciple from his own sect to recommend Alchemist Yan Jin?” Xiao Wangyue changed the topic with a sarcastic tone.

”Sect Master Xiao, you really are like a worm in my stomach! You seem to know exactly what I think.” Gao Jufan retorted, ”I may not have many virtues, but I know one principle, and that is to repay kindness.”

”Sect Master Xiao, I have a question, and perhaps you can answer it. If Mr. Yan Jin hadn’t cured Yunxia Sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root, I wonder, would you still be smiling now?” Gao Jufan’s voice deepened at the end.

”You...” Xiao Wangyue’s eyes turned sharp.

This matter was simply a scar in his heart.

”Alright, alright! Everyone be quiet!” Solo frowned, and his tone became much more stern.

No one present dared to ignore Solo Domain Lord. Seeing that the Domain Lord was showing signs of anger, both Xiao Wangyue and Long Li fell silent for the time being.

For a moment, no one spoke in the great hall.

Several days later, personnel from Star Moon Valley came in and brought out a number of crimson fruits; there were a total of thirteen. These fruits were the All Paths Fruit.

There were thirteen martial artists participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting in this great hall.

Solo Domain Lord recommended three, Xuanqing Sect recommended three, Yunxia Sect recommended three, Dragon Soaring Sect recommended three, and Hao Yang recommended one. Thirteen All Paths Fruits, exactly one per person.

After distributing the All Paths Fruits, a member of Star Moon Valley said, ”Fellow Daoists participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting, please prepare. In ten days, the match schedule will be announced.”

Having said that, the person left the great hall.

The ten days were clearly intended for the martial artists participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting to consume the All Paths Fruits.

After the Star Moon Valley personnel left, Lin Yu and others immediately swallowed their All Paths Fruits.

One All Paths Fruit might not significantly enhance their abilities in ten days, but even a slight improvement could potentially change one’s fate at the Immortal Bridge Meeting.

Of the thirteen, only Jing Yan did not consume the All Paths Fruit and instead kept it.

The All Paths Fruit is an extremely precious treasure. When used in conjunction with the Fire Origin, it achieves the greatest benefit. Clearly, the great hall is not suitable for entering the Qiankun Small World, so Jing Yan decided to hold on to the All Paths Fruit for now.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Star Moon Valley martial artist who had delivered the All Paths Fruits ten days ago brought some slips of paper this time. He handed all the slips to Solo Domain Lord.

”Five days from now, the Immortal Bridge Meeting will officially begin.” With that remark, he turned and left the great hall.

Jing Yan and the others all turned their gaze to Solo. In Solo Domain Lord’s hand was the first round of match information.
