The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: North Branch’s Movements

There are quite a few upper echelons of the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain who think similarly to this elder, and many believe this is a strategy of the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

No one knows where Jing Yan came from, holding an All Paths Order. The All Paths Spirit Mountain conveniently promoted him to be the Holy Master, intending to use this to reorganize the five branches of the Spiritual Mountain. This is also a reasonable explanation.

”Mountain Master, lately the All Paths Spirit Mountain seems quite active. At the border between us and the All Paths Spirit Mountain, their arrogance has noticeably increased recently. Humph, they have become bold!” A black-robed elder sneered as he spoke.

The frequent minor conflicts between the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain and the All Paths Spirit Mountain are commonplace, and frictions often occur even usually. Since Jing Yan became the Holy Master of the All Paths Spirit Mountain, it indeed has become much more assertive.

Previously, when the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain bullied the disciples of the All Paths Spirit Mountain, the All Paths Spirit Mountain disciples usually endured to avoid trouble. But now, the All Paths Spirit Mountain is much more confident. If the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain provokes them, then the All Paths Spirit Mountain will retaliate fiercely.

”Elder Zhang He, do you have any thoughts on this matter?” Kunlong Mountain Master looked at the black-clothed elder and asked.

The black-clothed elder is an elder of the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain, a god-level master at the Emperor level. This person’s temper is particularly fiery, and he is a firm member of the Hawk Faction, almost inseparable from Mountain Master Kun Long, completely disregarding this branch.

”Mountain Master, why don’t I make a trip? I would like to see what the All Paths Spirit Mountain can do about me.” Elder Zhang He chuckled as he spoke.

What he meant was to go to the border and teach a lesson to the disciples of the All Paths Spirit Mountain to see how the All Paths Spirit Mountain would react, and also use this to probe the reality of the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

If the All Paths Spirit Mountain does not react, then it’s unnecessary to pay attention to this new Holy Master. If the All Paths Spirit Mountain has a strong response, then they could decide how to deal with it next.

”Alright, then I will trouble Elder Zhang He.” Kunlong Mountain Master nodded to Zhang He.

”It’s a minor issue, just right to break the boredom lately; I can also stretch my muscles a bit this time.” Elder Zhang He’s eyes flickered as he said.

...

All Paths Spirit Mountain.

Several elders gathered together, all looking somewhat serious.

”Has the Holy Master not come out of seclusion yet?” Elder Su He asked with knitted brows.

”Hmm, ever since entering the All Paths Cave Heaven a few years ago, he has not emerged, probably still in cultivation.” One elder shook his head.

”What should we do then? The Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain is overly aggressive, that damned Zhang He is even trampling over us.” Elder Su He said through clenched teeth.

”If you ask me, we should first go and fight. You don’t even need to go; I can go myself. I’d like to meet that old bastard Zhang He.” Elder Hong Yuan said, raising his brows.

Elder Hong Yuan is rather quick-tempered; he has been unable to restrain himself for a while. If not stopped by other elders, he might have gone to the junction to fight Zhang He of the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain long ago.

”Elder Hong Yuan, please calm down. Now that we have a Holy Master in the All Paths Spirit Mountain, we should see what the Holy Master intends to do. Without the Holy Master showing his stance, we might ruin his plans if we act rashly. That would not be worth the loss.” Elder Su He said, looking at Elder Hong Yuan.

”Elder Su He is right.” An elder nodded.

”Do we just have to endure that old bastard Zhang He’s tyranny? The Holy Master, we don’t even know how long he’s going to be in seclusion this time. He’s a Divine Sovereign level master, and a single seclusion could last thousands or even tens of thousands of years.” Elder Hong Yuan frowned and shook his head.

”Elder Hong Yuan, it won’t be that long. The Holy Master, though incredibly powerful, is not very old. He couldn’t possibly stay in seclusion for so long. I think he will emerge in at most a few decades.” An elder smiled as he said.

A God Lord adept in the Life Law can roughly tell that Jing Yan isn’t very old from his Life Aura.

Indeed, with someone of Jing Yan’s age, it is unlikely he would stay in seclusion for tens of thousands of years.

”Alright, then let’s wait. But just thinking about that old bastard Zhang He killing several of our All Paths Spirit Mountain disciples at the junction makes me want to tear him apart. That old bastard said many obnoxious things too, something about not recognizing the Holy Master; he refuses to acknowledge the title of Holy Master at All Paths Spirit Mountain. This despicable traitor!” Elder Hong Yuan said with a furious voice.

In the All Paths Cave Heaven.

”Wa-lalala...”

Around Jing Yan’s body, clusters of water-blue light halos slowly expanded. These water-blue light halos emitted a palpable wave of Power, seemingly gentle but actually containing astonishing energy.

It is precisely the Weak Water Domain, the Basic Law Domain at the Ultimate Level.

This time, Jing Yan has been in seclusion for about four years outside, but under the accelerated time within the Moro Time Tower, he has been cultivating for over a hundred years. During these over one hundred years, with the assistance of the Water Origin, Jing Yan’s Weak Water Domain has finally transformed into the Ultimate Domain.

After the Weak Water Domain reached the Ultimate Level, Jing Yan temporarily didn’t need to use the Water Origin.

To integrate the Weak Water Domain into the Chaos Sword, if possible, it can also be done outside. Therefore, Jing Yan intends to leave the All Paths Cave Heaven first.

Mainly because he has just become the Holy Master of All Paths Spirit Mountain, and there are still many matters that might require his personal involvement, so it’s not appropriate for him to stay in long-term seclusion.

”Whoosh!”

Jing Yan flashed out of the All Paths Cave Heaven.

As soon as he exited, Jing Yan saw several elders of the All Paths Spirit Mountain gathered on the mountain peak.

These elders, upon seeing Jing Yan, were initially startled but then showed delighted expressions and quickly came forward to greet him.

”Is there something going on?” Jing Yan casually asked.

If there wasn’t something urgent, these elders wouldn’t be waiting outside the All Paths Cave Heaven. There must be something that they felt they couldn’t handle, so they were anxiously waiting here. However, since he was in seclusion, they didn’t dare disturb him.

”Holy Master!” Elder Hong Yuan and the others first paid their respects to Jing Yan.

”Holy Master, at the border between the All Paths Spirit Mountain and the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain, in these past years, several disciples of ours at the Main God cultivation level have been killed.” Elder Su He said.

”Was it done by those on the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain?” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened, an icy aura emanating.

”Yes, it was indeed done by the Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain. The Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain has an Emperor-level god master elder named Zhang He. This old bastard has been active at the junction these past years. Upon seeing our All Paths Spirit Mountain disciples, he would immediately move to punish them. If our disciples even slightly expressed dissatisfaction, they would be directly killed. This person is extremely abhorrent.”

”Elder Hong Yuan has several times wanted to go to the junction to confront Zhang He, but we’ve been stopping him. We think it best to wait for the Holy Master to come out of seclusion and then decide.” Another elder added.
