The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1335: Willing

Jing Yan’s expression was slightly dazed for a moment. He could feel that Yi Hongchen was not just being polite, but genuinely wanted him to call her ’Hongchen’.

Moreover, it was their first meeting. Did she really need to be polite with him?

Yi Hongchen paid no attention to those eyes around her; her clear eyes continued to look at Jing Yan.

”Yan Jin, my master, the Star Moon Valley Master, also known as Zhan Yue God Emperor, sent me to find you to ask if you would be willing to become a disciple!” Yi Hongchen’s clear voice resonated throughout the entire martial arts arena and the surrounding grand halls.

”Become a disciple?” Jing Yan’s eyes heated up, and his breath condensed.

”If you are willing, you will become my master’s eighth direct disciple!” Yi Hongchen continued speaking to Jing Yan.

Boom!

Immense joy surged in Jing Yan’s heart, almost bursting.

The countless Martial Artists in the arena all gaped, eyes wide, their minds buzzing.

Zhan Yue God Emperor actually wants to take Yan Jin as a disciple, and as a direct disciple at that!

Although Zhan Yue God Emperor had many disciples, only seven had been direct disciples before Jing Yan. Among these seven, six had already become the Master of Ten Thousand Gods. The only exception, Sun Zhao, the Nine Tripods Main God, though not yet at the God Lord level, had combat power surpassing ordinary Great Ability.

However...

Why does Zhan Yue God Emperor want to take Yan Jin as a disciple? Doesn’t Zhan Yue God Emperor know that Yan Jin burned his Divine Soul Body to reach the top of the Immortal Bridge, making it nearly impossible for him to hope to achieve the God Lord level?

”Impossible! This is impossible!” Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign roared in his heart, his expression extremely distorted.

He truly didn’t expect that Zhan Yue God Emperor would accept Yan Jin as a direct disciple. It had been tens of millions of years since Zhan Yue God Emperor last accepted a disciple. If Yan Jin hadn’t burned his Divine Soul Body, Zhan Yue God Emperor seeing a young Martial Artist reaching the top of the Immortal Bridge might understandably want to accept him as a disciple.

But the problem is that Yan Jin had clearly already burned his Divine Soul Body, making advancement to the God Lord impossible. Under such circumstances, not to mention a direct disciple, even as a registered disciple, Zhan Yue God Emperor shouldn’t consider him.

Fenghua Venerable Divine was equally shaken. His emotional fluctuation was not as strong as Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign’s, but his eyes deeply reflected his inability to understand.

Zhan Yue God Emperor, universally acknowledged as the strongest in the God Realm, what exactly is he thinking?

In the silent martial arts arena, everyone seemed to hear their own heartbeat. No one spoke at this moment; only a series of shocked gazes were fixed on Jing Yan.

”Yan Jin Martial Artist, what is your thought? My master will not force you to become a disciple; it is entirely up to your heart.” Yi Hongchen looked at Jing Yan, waiting for Jing Yan to decide for himself.

If Jing Yan refused to become a disciple, she would follow Zhan Yue God Emperor’s instruction and secretly give Jing Yan a Flying Sky Talisman.

”I am willing to become a disciple.” Jing Yan immediately said loudly.

How could Jing Yan possibly miss such an opportunity?

”Very well, then come with me immediately; my master is waiting to see you.” Yi Hongchen nodded, her clear voice said to Jing Yan.

After Jing Yan agreed to become a disciple, Yi Hongchen’s attitude towards him subtly changed. The reason was simple. Jing Yan being willing to become a disciple meant he would be her junior brother in the future.

Jing Yan could also sense that Yi Hongchen, invisibly, had become a bit closer to him.

”Yes!” Jing Yan responded.

”Three senior brothers, I will first take Yan Jin to see our master.” Yi Hongchen said to Shan Hai and the other two senior brothers.

”Junior sister, please go ahead.” The three, Shan Hai Divine Sovereign and others, smilingly said to their little junior sister Yi Hongchen one after another.

...

”Valley Master intends to accept Yan Jin as a direct disciple!”

”Can someone tell me if I’m hallucinating, is this real?”

”...”

After Yi Hongchen took Jing Yan through the void, the chaotic sounds in the martial arts arena slowly resumed.

Many people still couldn’t believe at this moment that the Star Moon Valley Master actually wanted to take Yan Jin as a direct disciple.

”Shan Hai Daoist, might you enlighten us?” The youthful-looking Fenghua Venerable Divine, with a gaze that darted around, then looked at Shan Hai Divine Sovereign and asked.

”What does Fenghua Daoist mean?” Shan Hai Divine Sovereign squinted slightly and asked back.

”If possible, I hope Shan Hai Daoist can tell me why Zhan Yue God Emperor is willing to accept Yan Jin as a disciple, especially as a direct disciple. If Yan Jin’s Divine Soul Body were intact, I could understand the Valley Master’s intentions. But now, Yan Jin’s Divine Soul Body has burned. Even if the God Emperor has ways to help him recover, Yan Jin’s future prospects of reaching the God Lord level seem dim, don’t they?” Fenghua Venerable Divine said with a slight frown.

”Fenghua Daoist! Who said that Yan Jin Junior Brother burned his Divine Soul Body?” Shan Hai Divine Sovereign smiled and gently shook his head.

”What?” Fenghua Venerable Divine’s eyes sharpened.

On the other side, Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign’s body also shuddered.

What did Shan Hai Divine Sovereign mean by that? Who said Yan Jin burned his Divine Soul Body? Does that mean Yan Jin did not burn his Divine Soul Body?

However, when Yan Jin climbed the twentieth Immortal Bridge, his Divine Soul Power erupted on a large scale, which could not be considered a normal Divine Soul Body release of Divine Soul Power.

That intensity of fluctuation, even a first-rate Master of Ten Thousand Gods couldn’t achieve.

The chaotic sounds in the martial arts arena had quieted when Fenghua Venerable Divine spoke, so everyone heard Shan Hai Divine Sovereign’s words clearly.

Shan Hai Divine Sovereign continued smiling as he said, ”Yan Jin Junior Brother may be young, but he is not reckless. Why would he sacrifice his martial arts future to climb the twentieth Immortal Bridge? Failing to climb the twentieth Immortal Bridge, how much would that affect him? But burning the Divine Soul Body is equivalent to severing his martial arts path.”

Fenghua Venerable Divine and others couldn’t help but have their hearts skip a beat at this statement from Shan Hai Divine Sovereign.

Indeed!

Yan Jin was young, but he exhibited calm reasoning. Why would he easily burn his Divine Soul Body? It wasn’t a do-or-die situation forcing him to gamble everything.

Could it be that Yan Jin’s Divine Soul Body had not been damaged at all?

The youthful face of Fenghua Venerable Divine slowly reddened as a thought uncontrollably surged forth.

He wondered if he had missed a rare opportunity. If Yan Jin had not burned his Divine Soul Body, such a supreme talent reaching the top of the Immortal Bridge was a chance he missed.

Earlier, Yan Jin had been oppressed by Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign. If he had challenged Zhi Ying at that time, claiming to take Yan Jin as a direct disciple, would Yan Jin have hesitated at all?
