The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1582: Chapter 1582: Respect

The strong representatives of the hundred clans, possessing entry slots to the Chaos Secret Realm, remain in Sky Creation City Square.

And those who didn’t obtain entry slots to the Chaos Secret Realm, most have not departed either. Even the Spirit Monster Clan, who lost face, have not left.

If any other clans had suffered the same shame as the Spirit Monster Clan, they would have left immediately, lacking face to stay. But the Spirit Monster Clan is indeed a peculiar clan; they have thick skin.

...

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!”

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, this time... I really don’t know how to express my gratitude.” Chunyu Venerable’s excitement was palpable.

This time, due to Jing Yan’s efforts, the Human Clan was able to obtain a total of eight entry slots to the Chaos Secret Realm, a number equal to the Beast Clan. This is historically the most slots the Human Clan has ever acquired for the Chaos Secret Realm.

”Senior Chunyu, I am part of the Human Clan too,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”Being able to do something for the Human Clan makes me happy,” Jing Yan said nonchalantly.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!” At this moment, Elder Xiao Ye flew down from the Heavenly Platform to the Human Clan’s designated area, bowing slightly to Jing Yan.

This elder from the council showed Jing Yan ample respect.

This respect wasn’t due to Jing Yan’s familiarity with the Beast Clan Ancestor Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix, but because Jing Yan’s strength was formidable. The Second Tier Heavenly Venerate Jiao Getu was slain by Jing Yan in a single sword strike. This level of strength was enough to surpass all active Heavenly Venerates of the Human Clan.

Even Ren Jiang Venerable couldn’t execute the Spirit Monster Clan’s Jiao Getu with a single strike.

Therefore, to some extent, Jing Yan might be the strongest among the Human Clan. At least, among the active strong ones, Jing Yan’s strength is unmatched.

”Elder Xiao Ye,” Jing Yan returned the salute to Elder Xiao Ye.

Jing Yan didn’t blame Elder Xiao Ye, as seen from previous events in the Sky Creation City Council, Xiao Ye did not have much influence. Chief Chairman Ao Tian basically didn’t manage things, and Elder Xiao Ye couldn’t arm-wrestle with Second Chairman Babie. Furthermore, there was Luo Jiuhong from the Spirit Monster Clan involved.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I have offended you prior, I hope you won’t mind. I, Thunder, have acted recklessly,” Thunderbolt Venerable said with a flushed face, his head lowered.

Jing Yan turned to look at Thunderbolt Venerable, and the other strong members of the Human Clan also looked towards Thunderbolt Venerable.

”Thunderbolt Venerable!”

”You needn’t worry about me settling scores with you later; if I wanted to act against you, I would have done so already. Our Human Clan has only those dozen or so active Heavenly Venerates, each one very important to the clan. I only hope that Thunderbolt Venerable, you will think twice in the future.” Jing Yan said with an impassive expression.

Jing Yan did not wish to hold grudges against Thunderbolt Venerable because there was no major wrongdoing by him. However, Jing Yan couldn’t offer a friendly face to Thunderbolt Venerable either.

”Yes, yes! I, Thunderbolt, will be more cautious in my actions from now on,” Thunderbolt Venerable said awkwardly but felt relieved, truly fearing Jing Yan might trouble him later.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, we Human Clan obtained eight entry slots for the Chaos Secret Realm this time. However, nine Divine Emperor Martial Artists from the Human Clan have come to Sky Creation City, what do you think...” Elder Xiao Ye glanced at Jing Yan.

Nine Divine Emperors from the Human Clan in Sky Creation City, but only eight slots for the Chaos Secret Realm. So, one cannot enter the Chaos Secret Realm. Being able to acquire this many slots is entirely thanks to Jing Yan. He naturally has the most say in the distribution of slots. If Jing Yan wishes someone not to enter the Chaos Secret Realm, it’s as good as set in stone.

Qian Zhun God Emperor, disciple of Thunderbolt Venerable, suddenly felt tense.

He knew whether he could enter the Chaos Secret Realm was entirely up to Jing Yan. Although he hadn’t conflicted with Jing Yan, his mentor Thunderbolt Venerable had offended Jing Yan earlier.

Would Jing Yan directly deny him the chance to enter the Chaos Secret Realm?

Upon hearing Elder Xiao Ye’s words, Jing Yan’s eyes flashed.

”Of the eight slots, I only want two. One for myself, and one for my master Zhan Yue God Emperor. The remaining six will be distributed by drawing lots as usual. Seven individuals drawing for six slots in the Chaos Secret Realm; those who don’t make it can only blame their luck.” Jing Yan said casually with a smile.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Qian Zhun God Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Thunderbolt Venerable, too, was initially stunned but then looked at Jing Yan with gratitude.

Thunderbolt Venerable had actually prepared himself; he thought his disciple Qian Zhun God Emperor wouldn’t have a chance to enter the Chaos Secret Realm. At least for this opening of the Chaos Secret Realm, his disciple wouldn’t have a chance.

He didn’t expect Jing Yan not to make things difficult for him or seize this opportunity for revenge.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I, Thunderbolt, admire few people in my life, you’re one of them. I won’t say more; if you need anything in the future, just say the word,” Thunderbolt Venerable said while patting his chest.

Jing Yan nodded without a word.

”Jing Yan, perhaps I should also join the other Daoists in drawing lots?” Zhan Yue God Emperor Liu Mei frowned slightly and said to Jing Yan.

She felt Jing Yan directly giving her a slot made her somewhat exceptional.

If she joined the others in drawing, it would be eight individuals drawing for seven slots, with a high chance.

”Master, you needn’t think much. Giving you a slot, I don’t think anyone here would have an objection,” Jing Yan shook his head.

”Haha, of course, there wouldn’t be any objection.”

”Indeed, honestly, if not for Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, our Human Clan would have at most a fixed slot and an additional floating slot. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan has offered us six extra Chaos Secret Realm slots. These six slots, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan can assign any Divine Emperors to enter the Chaos Secret Realm without issue.”

”Zhan Yue God Emperor, you needn’t overthink or say more. You are Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s master, although currently, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan has surpassed you, we can all see Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is a person who values relations.”

Several Heavenly Venerates spoke in succession.

Seeing everyone speak this way, Zhan Yue God Emperor said no more but fixed her gaze on Jing Yan with her beautiful eyes. Remembering Jing Yan previously saying he’d secure a slot for her, she had thought it unrealistic. She truly underestimated Jing Yan.

”Brother Yan...”

At this moment, Xiao Feng had finished a brief exchange with the strong members of the Beast Clan and walked over.

”Let’s find a place to chat,” Xiao Feng said to Jing Yan, eyes filled with joy.

”Sure!” Jing Yan nodded.

Jing Yan and Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix temporarily left the Sky Creation City Square, arriving at a secluded spot devoid of life.
