The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2190: Chapter 2190: Jing Yan’s Discovery [Third Update]

Jing Yan’s face turned cold.

He knows Lu Chun is from the Mystic Moon Trading House, but he had already seen Lu Chun’s appearance with his Divine Thought. Knowing who Lu Chun is, he still dared to approach him; naturally, he is not afraid of Lu Chun attacking him.

“Who might you be? So old, yet so uncivilized?” Jing Yan retorted.

Jing Yan’s tone was casual, his expression indifferent, without even showing anger in his eyes. Such a simple remark was enough to make Lu Chun’s lungs burst with rage. The more relaxed Jing Yan seemed, the angrier Lu Chun became. If Jing Yan had shown a furious expression, Lu Chun might not be so irritated.

“You little beast, courting death!” For a moment, Lu Chun forgot all about the Netherworld Crystal Stone veins. He activated Divine Power, ready to strike at Jing Yan.

This clearly shows the intensity of his anger.

However, the old man hadn’t completely lost his mind. Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly remembered that Ke Zun from the Shadow Tower was not far away, and there was still a precious Netherworld Crystal Stone vein that had not been collected.

He turned his gaze, stared at Ke Zun, and said, “Fellow Daoist Ke Zun, this kid is here to seize our Netherworld Crystal Stone vein. What do you say?”

Ke Zun chuckled.

The Shadow Tower wants to form good relations with Jing Yan. Otherwise, why else would Gong Zhi Buddha send fifty billion Black Crystal Stones to Jing Yan after the Netherworld Points competition? If he now shows hostility toward Jing Yan, wouldn’t all the previous efforts of Gong Zhi Buddha and the Shadow Tower be meaningless?

Therefore, even if Ke Zun personally dislikes Jing Yan, he will not go against Gong Zhi Buddha’s intentions and become hostile toward Jing Yan.

Ke Zun looked at Jing Yan and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, this Netherworld Crystal Stone vein was discovered by Fellow Daoist Lu Chun and myself. You’ve suddenly come here; what is your intention?”

Although Ke Zun wouldn’t easily become enemies with Jing Yan, if Jing Yan intends to seize their Netherworld Crystal Stone vein, he definitely would not allow it. The value of the Netherworld Crystal Stone vein is too great. For this vein, even if it means falling out with Jing Yan, it’s worth it, and he believes Gong Zhi Buddha won’t blame him for it.

Jing Yan, after hearing Ke Zun’s words, smiled.

In reality, although he envied the luck of Ke Zun and Lu Chun, he did not have any intent to seize. With his power, he is not afraid of Ke Zun and Lu Chun, but he also cannot say with certainty that he can overpower them. Once a fight starts, Jing Yan believes he has no assurance of defeating these two, whose strength exceeds most Shen Zhou Heavenly Monarchs.

Jing Yan shook his head and said, “I am just here to take a look. Fellow Daoist Ke Zun, since this Netherworld Crystal Stone vein was discovered by you, I certainly won’t have other intentions.”

Jing Yan did not look at Lu Chun; he only spoke to Ke Zun.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Ke Zun’s smile became even softer.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Chun, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan does not have the intentions you mentioned. Also, I know Mystic Moon Trading House has hostility towards Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, but Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is a friend of my Shadow Tower. If Fellow Daoist Lu Chun wishes to harm Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I will not stand idly by.” Ke Zun spoke politely, yet there was an implicit threat in his tone.

He was now extending a favor to Jing Yan.

Lu Chun rolled his eyes, looked at Jing Yan, then at Ke Zun. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger. Then his gaze turned to the Netherworld Crystal Stone vein; no matter what, the vein must be collected first.

“Ke Zun, you said I could pick half of the vein earlier, so I won’t stand on ceremony.” Lu Chun flew straight downward to the enormous vein, scanned it with his gaze, and then unleashed vast Divine Power at half of the vein.

“Rumble…”

The ground shook, the wind grew more violent, and the swirling sand nearly completely obscured the surrounding space.

“Crack! Crack!”

Under the intense tearing of Divine Power, the massive mountain began to slowly rise.

In the Yellow Spring Cave, even a grain of sand weighs a thousand kilograms, so one can imagine the weight of a Netherworld Crystal Stone vein. Yet despite this, the heavy mountain was still pulled up by Lu Chun using Divine Power.

Lu Chun’s cheeks flushed slightly, excitement glimmering in his eyes. After pulling up half the vein, a thought, and the half vein vanished.

While Lu Chun collected that half of the vein, Ke Zun quickly flew to the remaining half, mimicking Lu Chun’s actions by using Divine Power to raise the half before storing it in his Storage Magical Treasure.

Watching their actions, Jing Yan felt a bit envious. However, alas, he had no share in this vein.

“Lucky bastards!” Jing Yan grumbled inwardly.

Lu Chun and Ke Zun each took half of the vein, while Jing Yan, not far away, used Divine Thought to permeate the vein, attempting to estimate how much Netherworld Crystal Stone it contained. Judging by its appearance, this vein seemed to be a small Netherworld Crystal Stone vein. If it were a large Netherworld Crystal Stone vein, its size should be about ten times larger.

Despite that, within a small Netherworld Crystal Stone vein, there would be plenty of Netherworld Crystal Stones to mine, including some high-grade ones.

Jing Yan’s Divine Thought could penetrate the vein, but it was strenuous due to the vein’s immense density. It’s impossible to investigate thoroughly in a short time.

“Sigh,” Jing Yan sighed lightly.

After Lu Chun and Ke Zun collected the vein, Jing Yan did not withdraw his Divine Thought but instead continued to scan downward. Since a vein appeared here, could there be others hidden?

Jing Yan’s Divine Thought swept the surrounding region, but found nothing. It seemed there was only one vein here, not even scattered Netherworld Crystal Stones.

“Try searching deeper.” Jing Yan increased the release of Divine Soul Power, his Divine Thought slowly permeating the ground below.

As his Divine Thought delved underground, although it progressed much slower compared to normal external Divine Thought scans, after two to three breaths, Jing Yan’s Divine Thought still reached a depth of a thousand meters underground.

“Huh?” Jing Yan’s heart stirred.

“What… How can it be! There’s… there’s another colossal entity hidden below!” Jing Yan’s Divine Thought sensed a blurry outline, concentrating the thought, the outline become clearer.

A vein!

Yet another Netherworld Crystal Stone vein!

However, this vein dwarfed the one Lu Chun and Ke Zun had collected, ten times the size or more. Clearly, this vein is a large Netherworld Crystal Stone vein. Positioned seven hundred meters beneath the vein discovered by Lu Chun and Ke Zun.

Unimaginable!

Beneath a small vein, seven to eight meters deep, there hides an even larger Netherworld Crystal Stone vein.

“Whoo!” Jing Yan’s body softly trembled, his eyes gleaming brightly.
