The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Rainbow Gown Divine Sect

Mr. Zhong’s courtesy to Jing Yan was indeed influenced by his own considerations.

Otherwise, given his status, he needed not be so humble towards Jing Yan, a recently advanced martial artist of the Saint Realm.

In the Heavenly Origin Continent, it had indeed been a very long time since a martial artist of the Saint Realm had appeared. But what kind of person was Mr. Zhong? He had been active between the Human Clan and the Divine Race even before the war between the gods and humans.

He did not directly participate in the war between gods and humans, but how could he have maneuvered between the Human Clan and the Divine Race without sufficient ability and strength to earn favors from both sides?

Even now, Mr. Zhong often dealt with powerful figures of the Saint Realm from the Divine Race, and although he was also quite courteous towards those of the Divine Race’s Saint Realm, he would definitely not help them for no reason and without seeking anything in return.

With just a little guidance from Mr. Zhong, his subordinates also understood the general idea and nodded in realization.

After advancing to the Saint Realm, Jing Yan could still stay in the Heavenly Origin Continent for another year, and this was definitely not without reason. There must be something unusual about Jing Yan, a special trait that made even the Guardians treat him differently. Befriending Jing Yan aligned with Mr. Zhong’s long-term interests.

...

Tianxia Divine Domain!

The Tianxia Divine Domain is also one of the Five Divine Domains of Despair Abyss. However, it is the only Divine Domain that borders the Buffer Zone.

That is to say, if one delves into the Despair Abyss from the Buffer Zone, the first Divine Domain to enter will be the Tianxia Divine Domain.

Human martial artists of the Dao Emperor Realm entering Despair Abyss to seek for treasures would primarily target the periphery of the Tianxia Divine Domain.

Human Dao Emperors generally do not dare to venture too deep into the Tianxia Divine Domain. However, the danger is somewhat lower on the periphery of the Tianxia Divine Domain.

After all, even within the Divine Race, martial artists of the Dao Emperor Realm are considered legitimately strong.

Within a Divine Domain, the number of martial artists at the Dao Emperor Realm is not very high.

Human martial artists searching for resources on the periphery of the Tianxia Divine Domain, if careful, are not very likely to encounter Divine Clan martial artists above the Dao Emperor Realm.

As for Divine Clan martial artists below the Dao Emperor Realm, they do not pose a great threat to Human Dao Emperors. In combat, humans have the absolute upper hand. If they do not wish to fight and draw attention, they can also avoid the Divine Clan martial artists at the first opportunity.

Tianxia Divine Domain, Rainbow Gown Divine Sect!

The Rainbow Gown Divine Sect is a relatively large sect within the Tianxia Divine Domain.

Within the Five Divine Domains, the overall strength of the sects and families are categorized by grades.

Among the noteworthy forces, the most powerful are First-grade, and the weakest are Fifth-grade. Below the Fifth-grade are forces that do not matter.

First-grade forces are extremely scarce, and each Divine Domain only has one Fifth-grade force.

Being evaluated as a Second Grade Force, the influence of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect within the entire Tianxia Divine Domain cannot be underestimated.

The Rainbow Gown Divine Sect has a very special aspect in that its absolute high-level leaders are all female. Male martial artists can join this sect, but the chance for them to become high-level leaders is almost nonexistent.

In front of this sect, the status of female martial artists is much higher than that of males. Even among ordinary disciples, female disciples receive much more cultivation resources than their male counterparts. As a result, the overall strength of the male disciples within the sect is significantly lower than that of the females.

At this moment, atop a mountain within the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect.

”Eighteen years!”

”It has already been eighteen years...”

A woman in a white dress, with a beauty unrivaled in the world, sat quietly. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes as she looked into the distance.

”Will I ever have the chance to return to the Heavenly Origin Continent? Can I... seek vengeance for Jing Yan?” the woman sighed softly after a long while.

This woman in the white dress was none other than Bai Xue, the City Lord.

Upon receiving news of Jing Yan’s death, Bai Xue City Lord could not believe it was true. She entered Despair Abyss alone in search of Jing Yan’s traces. However, with Jing Yan trapped inside the Death Temple for eleven years, how could Bai Xue find him?

She searched the Buffer Zone for nearly three years to no avail.

Growing more disappointed and enraged, Bai Xue had to gradually accept the reality that Jing Yan had died.

Afterward, the thought of avenging Jing Yan only grew stronger in Bai Xue’s heart.

Return to the Heavenly Origin Continent?

There would definitely be no opportunity to avenge Jing Yan that way. Bai Xue also knew about the Gai Family’s power; how could she, a Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm at the time, possibly confront them?

So, she did not leave Despair Abyss to return to the Heavenly Origin Continent but instead journeyed deeper. In her view, only in Despair Abyss could she find the opportunity to rapidly advance her Martial Arts Realm.

After a long journey fraught with many dangers, she finally made it alive into the Tianxia Divine Domain.

During an encounter, she met the Third Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, who took a liking to her, brought her back to the Rainbow Gown Sect, and took her as a disciple to guide her in Martial Arts cultivation.

Bai Xue City Lord cultivated with utmost diligence, barely resting, and under the guidance of the Third Sect Master, she made rapid progress.

In just over a year, she advanced from the Dao Spirit Realm to become a Martial Artist of the Daoist Master Realm. Afterward, it took her another three years to ascend to the Daoist King Realm.

Two years ago, Bai Xue City Lord became a powerful figure of the Daoist Emperor Realm.

After her advancement to Dao Emperor, she was chosen by the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect to be the new Holy Daughter of the sect.

The position of Holy Daughter within the Rainbow Gown Sect is very special. Below the Sect Master and Supreme Elder, the Holy Daughter holds the highest status. However, with the increase in status also comes a great price.

That is, the Holy Daughter will completely lose her freedom; every move she makes will be monitored by the sect.

Bai Xue City Lord once refused to become the sect’s Holy Daughter. But at this point, it was no longer something she could decide on her own. Despite her reluctance, she was forced to become the Holy Daughter.

Since then, she had almost completely lost the chance to break away from the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect.

”Holy Daughter, milady!”

At that moment, one of Bai Xue’s maids approached her.

”The Third Sect Master wants to see you,” the maid said, bowing her head.

”Oh, I understand,” Bai Xue glanced at the maid.

Rising to her feet, she stepped down from Holy Maiden Peak and ascended another mountain.

The Third Sect Master was Bai Xue’s master and had always treated Bai Xue very well; Bai Xue was grateful to her. If not for her master, she would not have been able to become a martial artist of the Daoist Emperor Realm in such a short period.

Bai Xue’s master indeed cared deeply for her, treating her, to a certain extent, as if she were her own daughter. However, within the Rainbow Gown Sect, she was only the Third Sect Master, and there were many matters beyond her control.

”Master!” Bai Xue greeted a middle-aged woman in a red dress.

”Bai Xue, you’ve arrived,” the woman in the red dress said as she looked at Bai Xue, ”Come with me to see the Great Sect Master. She is already, getting somewhat impatient.”
