The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339: In the Spotlight

On the dojo, countless voices of congratulations rose and fell.

Those congratulating Jing Yan were not simple figures. Among them were Domain Lords of High-class Divine Domains and leaders of major sects and forces. As for Domain Lords from Intermediate Divine Domains, there were even more of them.

They all obviously wanted to become familiar faces in front of Jing Yan. Even if they couldn’t form a friendship with Jing Yan, having Jing Yan recognize them was still beneficial. In the future, when Jing Yan becomes a God Lord, he will be a figure able to intimidate the God Realm, akin to Shan Hai Divine Sovereign today.

In response to these congratulations, Jing Yan could only offer a simple reply. The number of people wanting to greet him was overwhelming, and Jing Yan was tired of handling them.

However, there were a few people among them that Jing Yan would definitely not show any neglect towards.

”Solo Domain Lord!”

”Sect Master Gao, esteemed elders...”

Jing Yan directly approached the crowd from the Vast Smoke Divine Realm, showing a gentle smile to familiar faces.

Seeing Jing Yan greet him warmly and proactively, Solo Domain Lord appeared very excited.

Putting aside Jing Yan’s currently terrifying background, Jing Yan’s personal strength clearly also surpassed his own. Although he himself possessed combat power on par with Great Abilities as a Nine Tripods Main God, Jing Yan was undoubtedly more terrifying, likely on a level similar to Sun Zhao, the Nine Tripods Main God.

If even Solo Domain Lord was excited, there’s no need to mention Gao Jufan and others.

Sect Master Long Li of the Dragon Soaring Sect and Sect Master Xiao Wangyue of the Yunxia Sect were both quite embarrassed.

They too wished to converse and build connections with Jing Yan, but remembering their previous attitudes towards him, their faces flushed.

If they had been more courteous in the past, would it be so awkward now?

Especially Xiao Wangyue, who now felt a sense of complete desolation.

”Yan Jin... oh no, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan! Because of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, my Vast Smoke Divine Realm is bound to become famous in the God Realm,” Solo Domain Lord said with a smile.

”My Xuanqing Sect will likely attract countless Martial Arts Geniuses to join in the future,” Gao Jufan said, his face flushed with excitement, his body trembling slightly.

Who could have predicted today’s scenario back then?

He had insisted on giving Jing Yan a spot at the Immortal Bridge Meeting, merely valuing Jing Yan’s Alchemy Dao abilities. He had no confidence in Jing Yan participating in the Immortal Bridge.

Who would have thought that this Divine Pill Master Jing Yan would ascend the Immortal Bridge against all odds and become the disciple of the God Realm’s strongest, Zhan Yue God Emperor?

”Sect Master Gao truly has an eye for talent...” Solo deliberately glanced at Gao Jufan as he remarked.

”Ha ha ha...” Gao Jufan burst into laughter.

”Cloud Sky Domain Master, Brother Hao Yang!” Jing Yan warmly greeted Hao Yuntian and his son behind the crowd.

”No, no!” Hao Yuntian quickly waved his hand.

Hao Yang, however, felt his eyes moistening when Jing Yan still addressed him as Brother Hao Yang. He could tell that Jing Yan’s address was genuine, just like before.

”Lord Jing Yan...” Hao Yang began to speak.

”Brother Hao Yang, are we not friends?” Jing Yan shook his head.

Jing Yan was never one to burn bridges after crossing them, and Hao Yang had always treated him well. Although he refined the Nine Glories Pill and repaired Hao Yang’s Dao Palace, each was an isolated matter. If not for Hao Yang and Hao Yuntian, he might not have had the opportunity to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting later.

Jing Yan would not forget his friendship with Hao Yang. Even in the future, when he becomes a God Lord, he will still remember Hao Yang.

All around, countless envious glances were cast towards the father and son, Hao Yuntian and Hao Yang.

...

No matter how heated an atmosphere, there comes a time when it cools.

As the Martial Artists who participated in the Immortal Bridge Meeting gradually left Star Moon Valley, Jing Yan’s fame slowly spread throughout the God Realm.

The vast majority have left Star Moon World.

Figures like Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign and Fenghua Venerable Divine were among the first to bid farewell.

Jing Yan retained Solo Domain Lord and a few others with whom he had a good relationship for the time being. Star Moon Valley would host a banquet to entertain them for several days.

Jing Yan also invited Yunxia Sect’s Second Sect Master, Qi Mei, but Qi Mei left with Sect Master Xiao Wangyue and others. After all, she was the Second Sect Master of Yunxia Sect, and it would not be appropriate for her to stay if everyone else from Yunxia Sect had left.

Jing Yan understood, but he would not invite Xiao Wangyue and others.

About a week later.

”Mr. Jing Yan, are you going back to Xuanqing Sect with us?” Gao Jufan asked, his eyes filled with bewilderment as he looked at Jing Yan.

”Yes! Lin Yu’s Divine Sea still needs me to refine an elixir,” Jing Yan replied with a smile.

At the same time, he also glanced at Lin Yu standing to the side. When Lin Yu caught Jing Yan’s gaze, a blush appeared on her cool face.

Of course, Gao Jufan had not forgotten that Lin Yu’s Divine Sea was still on the verge of collapse. He just hadn’t expected that after Jing Yan became the disciple of Zhan Yue God Emperor, he would so soon choose to return to Vast Smoke Divine Realm’s Yunxia Sect with them.

”My master also supports me in leaving Star Moon World to hone my skills,” Jing Yan added.

Staying in Star Moon World, life was indeed comfortable. However, this comfort is not necessarily good for a young Martial Artist like Jing Yan. If Jing Yan cannot reach the God Lord Level within ten thousand years, how will he face the pursuit of Zhong Ling, Master of Dead Spirit Mountain, after ten thousand years?

His master had mentioned that Jing Yan would only be protected for ten thousand years.

”That is truly wonderful!” Gao Jufan exclaimed excitedly.

...

In Luli Divine Domain, within the void channel connecting Void Node 7449 to Low-class World 1399.

”Mother, this formation should have been left here by father, right?”

”This formation restricts people from the God Realm from passing through the void channel into our world. Meanwhile, we can smoothly pass through the formation to enter the God Realm.”

”Mother, I don’t know how father is doing after being in the God Realm for so long.”

A graceful figure slightly tilted her head, a trace of longing in her eyes.

Beside this graceful figure stood a beautiful woman in a red long dress.

The two were none other than Jing Yan’s wife, Gao Feng, and his daughter, Jing Dongxue.

Listening to her daughter Jing Dongxue, Gao Feng remained silent, uncertain of what to say. Her eyes expressed longing, as if it could penetrate the void!

Two thousand years!

It had been over two thousand years since Jing Yan left.

Their daughter Dongxue was now a Martial Artist of the One-star Void God Realm as well. Their son Jing Yun had also reached the same realm not long ago.

However, Gao Feng did not bring her son to the God Realm this time. Their world still needed Void God Realm warriors as a stabilizing force. Even though she had obtained some information about the God Realm from Jing Yan’s mother, Chu Lianxing, ultimately, it was a completely unfamiliar place to her.

She didn’t know how her husband Jing Yan was doing now, so she only brought her daughter Jing Dongxue.

”Dongxue, let’s go! Perhaps soon we’ll see your father,” Gao Feng said with a faint smile to Jing Dongxue.

”Alright! Let’s hurry to the God Realm and find father,” Jing Dongxue replied, her lovely face full of excitement.
