The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: Area Main Hall Master

After entering the Super Transmission Array and coming out, Jing Yan has arrived at the Lanning Imperial City.

The Lanning Imperial City is also located on a Chaos Continent.

In Endless Chaos, apart from numerous Chaos Continents, there are universes nurtured by Primordial Chaos Tree seeds. The Chaos Country controls a chaotic region.

Of course, the Lanning Imperial City Continent is very vast. No matter what, this is the site of the imperial city of a Chaos Country, the core of a Chaos Country.

After emerging from the Transmission Array, some guards from the Void Divine Hall turn their gaze toward Jing Yan, and upon seeing the Four-Ring Slayer identification emblem on Jing Yan’s chest, they slightly bow to greet him.

”Swish!”

As Jing Yan was preparing to survey his surroundings, a figure approached him.

”Are you Mr. Jing Yan?” the person asked Jing Yan.

”I am Jing Yan,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Mr. Jing Yan, I am Lu Ya from the Slaughter God Temple in the Lanning Imperial City, ordered by the Hall Master to await your arrival here,” Lu Ya said, bowing to Jing Yan.

The Hall Master he referred to is the Area Main Hall Master of the Lanning region of the Void Divine Hall.

Yan Qing had clearly communicated with this Area Main Hall Master beforehand, so the Area Main Hall Master knew that Jing Yan was about to arrive in Lanning Imperial City and specially sent someone to welcome him and showed Jing Yan’s image to Lu Ya.

”Thank you, Daoist,” Jing Yan said politely.

”Mr. Jing Yan, please follow me; the Hall Master is waiting to see you in the Divine Hall,” Lu Ya said respectfully to Jing Yan.

Following Lu Ya, Jing Yan arrived at the Slaughter God Temple in Lanning Imperial City.

This place is much livelier than the previous Continent Slaughter God Temple. Around the Slaughter God Temple, Second Ring Slayers are everywhere, and even Third Ring Slayers can occasionally be seen.

Entering the Slaughter God Temple, there are even more Slayers in the hall; at least a thousand Slayers gather here, checking task logs. In this hall, there are eight task log steles. Whether official slaughter tasks or private slaughter tasks, there is plenty of information.

Lu Ya took Jing Yan into the hall, where many glances turned their way. When they saw the four silver rings on Jing Yan’s chest, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly withdrew their gazes.

Even in the Lanning Imperial City, Four-Ring Slayers are rare. Although slaughter points can slowly accumulate over long periods, allowing the Slaughter Level to gradually rise, if the strength is insufficient, only low-level slaughter tasks can be accepted, and earning points will be very slow.

Moreover, a slaughter task usually takes hundreds to thousands of years to complete. A task yielding a few points, how long will it take to rise to Four Rings?

To rise from First Ring to Second Ring requires only a hundred Slaughter Points. From Second Ring to Third Ring takes a thousand points, from Third Ring to Four Rings requires ten thousand points. To upgrade from Four Rings to Five Rings demands a hundred thousand Slaughter Points, and that’s beyond ordinary Law Realm life.

Killing tasks are inherently dangerous, and failure can result in death.

Therefore, in Lanning Imperial City, a Four-Ring Slayer is considered a prominent figure.

Lu Ya took Jing Yan directly to the inner hall of the Slaughter God Temple.

”Hall Master, Mr. Jing Yan has arrived,” Lu Ya reported outside a room.

”Jing Yan is here? Come in!” A deep voice came from inside.

Jing Yan entered the room and saw a long-bearded man in a robe sitting inside.

This is the Area Main Hall Master of the Slaughter God Temple. Jing Yan also learned from Yan Qing that this Area Main Hall Master is a member of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

”Greetings, Main Hall Master!” Jing Yan bowed.

”No need to be so formal; I’m only the Area Main Hall Master. My name is He Jiu, you can call me Senior Brother He Jiu.” The robed man smiled at Jing Yan.

He continued, ”From the image Yan Qing sent, I found you very young; now meeting face-to-face, you’re even younger than I imagined. You’ve cultivated for less than ten million years, I presume?”

”Senior Brother He Jiu guessed correctly,” Jing Yan also began addressing him as Senior Brother.

”Truly young and promising! Although you are at the Earth Realm and have not yet reached the Law Realm, you could slay Ju E, that Devouring Sky Clan creature. Such prowess is commendable. Honestly, when I first saw the image sent by Yan Qing, I was startled. You’re only at the Earth Realm but possess such combat power; should you enter the Law Realm, imagine the possibilities!” He Jiu smiled.

”Jing Yan, Yan Qing should have mentioned to you that I’m also a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. I’ve spent some time at Hongjun Heavenly Palace, but it’s been a while since I returned. However, I’ve always maintained communication with the Heavenly Palace, and I haven’t heard of such an outstanding disciple appearing in the past several million years within Hongjun Heavenly Palace,” He Jiu continued.

”Senior Brother He Jiu is right; actually, I’m a cultivator from within a universe. The Hongmeng Dao Pattern was something I stumbled upon by chance in that universe,” Jing Yan did not hide his origin.

The other party is a Hongjun Heavenly Palace member and knows he has cultivated the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, so there’s no need to hide his background. Moreover, Jing Yan could sense that this Senior Brother He Jiu likely guessed his origin.

”No wonder!” He Jiu nodded.

”Jing Yan, obtaining the Hongmeng Dao Pattern is your great fortune. Previously, you might not have had contact with Hongjun Heavenly Palace, but having cultivated the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, you are destined to be tied with Hongjun Heavenly Palace this lifetime. The Hongmeng Dao Pattern is the Palace Secret Method of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Even within the Heavenly Palace, very few have the opportunity to cultivate it,” He Jiu said slowly.

After talking about some matters concerning Hongjun Heavenly Palace, Jing Yan listened patiently.

As one of the ultimate forces in Endless Chaos, Hongjun Heavenly Palace’s power is extremely formidable. Within the Palace, there are many strong beings at the All Things Realm level. Someone like He Jiu, at the All Things Realm, wouldn’t even be notable, which is why he was assigned to Lanning to oversee work for the Slaughter God Temple.

He Jiu also told Jing Yan that traveling from Lanning Country to the Origin Land is extremely far. Even using the Super Transmission Array controlled by Void Divine Hall continuously would consume a lot of time, as some places are beyond the reach of the Super Transmission Array. Moreover, using the Super Transmission Array continuously is very costly.

Merely using the Super Transmission Array once within Lanning Country requires ten Star Stones. If it involves transmitting to places beyond the country, the number of Star Stones needed increases geometrically.

He Jiu shared extensive information about Hongjun Heavenly Palace and several other ultimate forces and their relations.

Finally, he said to Jing Yan, ”Jing Yan, I have communicated with the king of Lanning Country, he will meet you soon. Regarding the reward for slaying Ju E, he will personally give it to you.”
