The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1429: Solicitation

The Emperor God Lord, even in the All Paths World, is truly a prominent figure and is rarely seen in general.

This time, in the confrontation between Jing Yan and the Shadow Emperor, the Shadow Emperor was surprisingly at a disadvantage. This shows that Jing Yan must also be a powerhouse at the Emperor level.

Gou Zhun glanced at Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue, a bit puzzled.

Why would a God Lord of the Emperor level have people around him who are merely at the Void God Realm? Moreover, they are his Daoist couple and daughter, not just ordinary relations.

Gou Zhun and Ning Luo stared blankly at Jing Yan.

”You truly have great skills!”

The Shadow Emperor at this moment suddenly laughed. All the hostility on his body vanished in an instant, and his tone became much more courteous.

Jing Yan looked at the Shadow Emperor without speaking. His divine power was still circulating defensively.

”I am You Ying, an elder of the Heaven Pavilion of the Wanbao Divine Hall. May I know how to address you?” You Ying asked, looking at Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan!” Jing Yan said.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan?” You Ying’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he continued, ”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, please don’t take offense. Before this, in the All Paths World, it seems I have never heard of the name Jing Yan. How could the name of a powerhouse at the Emperor level not have spread?”

You Ying could indeed confirm that Jing Yan is at the Emperor level.

In that brief clash earlier, although he hadn’t gone all out, he also realized that this Jing Yan was likewise not showing his full strength. In this encounter, he, You Ying, was at a disadvantage. If both were to exert full efforts, You Ying felt he had no confidence in defeating the opponent, let alone killing him.

A powerhouse at the Emperor level whose name he hadn’t heard before was clearly abnormal.

”I come from the Human Territory and have not been in the All Paths World for long. It’s normal that the Shadow Emperor hasn’t heard of my name,” Jing Yan responded.

”Haha, so Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is a strong figure who came from the Human Territory.”

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, are you aware of the Wanbao Divine Hall?” You Ying shifted his gaze and asked.

”Wanbao Divine Hall, the foremost power in the All Paths World, of course, I know,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Do you have any thought of joining the Wanbao Divine Hall? With Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength, if you were to join the Heaven Pavilion of the Wanbao Divine Hall, I can assure you that your position would not be beneath mine,” You Ying’s eyes flickered.

The sudden change in attitude toward Jing Yan was to recruit Jing Yan to join the Wanbao Divine Hall.

The Wanbao Divine Hall became the premier power in the All Paths World precisely by attracting a significant number of external powerhouses. A God Lord at the Emperor level like Jing Yan is, of course, a primary recruitment target. Especially since Jing Yan is not a martial artist of the All Paths World but comes from the Human Territory, this identity is even more welcomed by the Wanbao Divine Hall.

If Jing Yan were a member of the All Paths Sacred Land, it would surely require extremely strict scrutiny by the Wanbao Divine Hall to join. However, for martial artists coming from the Human Territory, although their background and identity would also be confirmed, it is much simpler in comparison.

Recruiting a God Lord at the Emperor level into the Wanbao Divine Hall also has substantial benefits for the Shadow Emperor.

As for Jing Yan previously killing a God Lord of the Wanbao Divine Hall, this could be a big or small matter. As long as Jing Yan joins the Wanbao Divine Hall, this matter can be overlooked.

Hearing the words of the Shadow Emperor, Jing Yan narrowed his eyes. He looked at the Shadow Emperor, his mind quickly processing.

Joining the Wanbao Divine Hall was naturally impossible. The Wanbao Divine Hall is clearly in an adversarial relationship with the All Paths Sacred Land. Without the matter of the Land of Descent, Jing Yan might have considered joining the Wanbao Divine Hall. But now, that’s absolutely impossible.

But if he refused directly, the Wanbao Divine Hall might not let go of the matter of him killing their God Lord Realm martial artist.

Jing Yan glanced at Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue and then looked at the Quenching God Star Tower not far away.

He intentionally pondered for a while.

”Fellow Daoist You Ying, I cannot give you an answer right now. I need to consider for a while,” Jing Yan’s tone also became courteous.

”That’s not a problem, a powerhouse like Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is always welcome to join our Wanbao Divine Hall at any time. It is normal that you need time to consider,” the Shadow Emperor didn’t seem too disappointed.

He didn’t doubt Jing Yan’s words.

A martial artist who just arrived in the All Paths World from the Human Territory shouldn’t have any conflict with the Wanbao Divine Hall. The Wanbao Divine Hall is the foremost power in the All Paths World; what reason does Jing Yan have not to join the Wanbao Divine Hall?

In the Shadow Emperor’s view, when Jing Yan said he needed time to consider, it was likely just a pretense.

After all, as a God Lord at the Emperor level, it would seem too casual if he joined the Wanbao Divine Hall immediately after a simple recruitment. The Shadow Emperor believed that after what Jing Yan called consideration, he would surely agree to join the Wanbao Divine Hall.

”Fellow Daoist You Ying, may I enter the Quenching God Star Tower first?” Jing Yan turned and asked.

”Of course, there’s no problem. However, only one martial artist can enter the Quenching God Star Tower at a time. Right now, there is a martial artist within the Quenching God Star Tower. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you will need to wait until that martial artist comes out before you can enter. Look over there; that red dot on the light curtain wall of the Quenching God Tower indicates the martial artist currently inside. He is currently on the Fourth Layer of the tower,” the Shadow Emperor said, pointing to a light curtain wall beside the Quenching God Star Tower.

”No problem, I can wait!” Jing Yan nodded.

When he killed that black-clothed God Lord, Jing Yan had decided to give up the idea of entering the Quenching God Star Tower for the time being. Unexpectedly, the situation has turned around like this.

Once I come out of the Quenching God Star Tower, I’ll just leave Star Tower City with Gao Feng and the others.

Meanwhile, while Jing Yan and the Shadow Emperor were talking, Gou Zhun and Ning Luo’s faces looked somewhat unpleasant. Gou Zhun hesitated several times but ultimately didn’t say anything. The two exchanged a glance and sighed lightly in their hearts. Clearly, they both hoped Jing Yan wouldn’t join the Wanbao Divine Hall, but didn’t know how to dissuade him.

Subsequently, Jing Yan paid a fee of twenty thousand nine-tier Divine Crystals to the Shadow Emperor. Once the God Lord inside the Quenching God Star Tower came out, Jing Yan could enter the tower.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, where do you plan to wait? Look at that inn over there, it’s only a kilometer away from the Quenching God Star Tower. If you wait there, you can better sense the Law Profoundness of the tower during this time. However, there is a fee to enter this inn. On the other hand, you can wait over there, but that place is more than ten kilometers away from the Quenching God Star Tower, and the effectiveness of comprehending the Law Profoundness will be much less,” the Shadow Emperor introduced to Jing Yan.

Indeed, there was an inn a kilometer away from the Quenching God Star Tower. This inn was also the only building within ten kilometers around the Quenching God Star Tower. If one wanted to comprehend the Law Profoundness within ten kilometers of the Quenching God Star Tower, the only choice was to enter this inn.
