The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1526: Lost for Words

When Jing Yan just entered the Nine Realms Divine Palace, Zhan Yue also slightly frowned. Clearly, she also thought that Jing Yan was not suitable to enter the Nine Realms Divine Palace at this time.

But when Menglu Divine Emperor and others said those words, Zhan Yue’s mind changed accordingly. No matter if Menglu and the others were targeting Jing Yan or herself, Zhan Yue, she was not afraid.

Didn’t you all think that Jing Yan was unqualified to participate in the Nine Realms Conference? Well, I’ll ensure Jing Yan takes part. Jing Yan may not match the level of many martial artists here in terms of experience or cultivation. But Jing Yan is my direct disciple, Zhan Yue!

If you want to target Jing Yan, you’ll have to see whether I, Zhan Yue, agree or not!

After Zhan Yue the Divine Emperor spoke in this way about Jing Yan, many present turned pale with envy. Especially Menglu the Divine Emperor, whose eyes suddenly ignited with flames.

Zhan Yue was directly slapping his face. He had just said that Jing Yan was too presumptuous, and that Zhan Yue needed to discipline her disciple, but Zhan Yue seemed not to have heard him at all and graciously let this young Jing Yan join the Nine Realms Conference.

”Zhan Yue!”

”You can be protective, but shouldn’t you at least distinguish the occasion?” Menglu the Divine Emperor said with a cold smile, his gaze coldly sweeping over Jing Yan.

Jing Yan, with Xiao Feng and Senior Brother Shan Hai, had already walked to the side of their master, Zhan Yue the Divine Emperor.

”Master, who is this person? He really has quite an attitude!” Jing Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Menglu the Divine Emperor.

Actually, Jing Yan had already learned Menglu Divine Emperor’s identity.

Previously, Jing Yan did not know Menglu the Divine Emperor, but just now Senior Brother Shan Hai had communicated Menglu the Divine Emperor’s identity, so Jing Yan knew this person was the leader of the Fourth Divine Domain, also one of the nine giant heads of the Human Territory.

”Jing Yan, that is Menglu the Divine Emperor, the leader of the Fourth Divine Domain,” Zhan Yue introduced Menglu calmly to Jing Yan.

”No wonder! So he’s the leader of the Fourth Divine Domain, no wonder he has such an overbearing stance. However, even as the leader of the Fourth Divine Domain, he can’t possibly be the master of the Nine Great Divine Realms! Menglu the Divine Emperor speaks as if he already controls all the Nine Great Divine Realms.” Jing Yan gently shook his head.

During the brief exchange between Jing Yan and Zhan Yue, Menglu the Divine Emperor was nearly furious.

”Presumptuous!”

”Youngster, you’d better not challenge this emperor’s limits of tolerance!” Menglu the Divine Emperor stared furiously at Jing Yan.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were in the Nine Realms Divine Palace, he might have already been unable to hold back and attacked Jing Yan.

There is no doubt, if in the Fourth Divine Domain, any ignorant youngster dared show him any disrespect, he would have effortlessly wiped them out in an instant. But here, in the Nine Realms Divine Palace, with the leaders of the Nine Great Divine Realms present, acting rashly would obviously be inappropriate. Moreover, the master of this young one, Zhan Yue the Divine Emperor, is not someone easy to deal with either.

”What, did I say something wrong?” Facing Menglu the Divine Emperor’s gaze, like he wanted to eat someone, Jing Yan showed no slightest bit of retreat, meeting the latter’s eyes.

”Menglu Divine Emperor!” Jing Yan emphasized his tone.

”Before I entered the Nine Realms Divine Palace, I haven’t offended you, have I? I’m genuinely unaware of any grudges between us. If there is, I do ask Menglu the Divine Emperor to enlighten me.”

”If not, then I am honestly puzzled. Why have you been targeting me since I arrived! Not only targeting me but also belittling my Master, Zhan Yue the Divine Emperor. Now, you falsely accuse me of challenging your limits of tolerance. Don’t you find this rather ridiculous?” Jing Yan said with rhythmic inflection.

Actually, since Jing Yan entered, it wasn’t only Menglu the Divine Emperor who targeted him. There were others present, some Divine Sovereigns, and Emperors also looking down on Jing Yan. However, who would have thought, Menglu’s identity was the highest! Naturally, Jing Yan directed his focus to him!

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Menglu the Divine Emperor was somewhat dumbfounded.

To say the least, it was indeed him who instigated first. However, he never thought there was anything wrong with his actions. Right from the start, he had not put Jing Yan at his own level. He hadn’t even directly spoken to Jing Yan before.

Therefore, when confronted by Jing Yan’s questions, he instinctively recalled and suddenly realized that indeed, it was he who initiated the issue.

”Ridiculous? What’s so ridiculous?” Menglu the Divine Emperor quickly reacted.

”This is the Nine Realms Divine Palace. The Nine Realms Conference is in serious session, and we’re discussing the invasion of the Demon Clan in the God Burying Domain. Such an occasion does not allow you to intrude carelessly,” Menglu the Divine Emperor shouted.

”Menglu the Divine Emperor. Firstly, I should inform you, I am a human, a martial artist from the Seventh Divine Domain. I deeply abhor the Demon Clan’s invasion. Since everyone here is discussing how to respond to the Demon Clan, as a human who detests the Demon Clan, how is my participation inappropriate?” Jing Yan continued to counter.

”You youngster are simply being unreasonable! The human martial artists eligible to participate in the Nine Realms Conference are all top martial artists of the Nine Great Divine Realms. What qualifies a youngster like you to participate?” Menglu the Divine Emperor sternly rebuked.

”Menglu the Divine Emperor, then may I ask, does the Nine Realms Conference have specific guidelines on what types of martial artists can participate in the conference?” Jing Yan immediately frowned and asked.

Menglu the Divine Emperor was once again at a loss.

He was stumped.

Because, indeed, the Nine Realms Conference did not have any requirements regarding participants’ qualifications.

But all along, everyone also shared an unspoken understanding. The formation of the Nine Realms Conference had its roots in the Demon Clan’s invasion of the Human Territory. Therefore, the martial artists participating in the Nine Realms Conference were indeed the strongest among the human martial artists of the Nine Great Divine Realms. The minimum strength required was at the God Lord level, and they were top-tier God Lord level powers.

However, the Nine Realms Conference had never stipulated that participants must meet certain realm conditions.

Menglu the Divine Emperor was rendered speechless.

Actually, Jing Yan also did not know if the Nine Realms Conference had such explicit rules. However, even if there were, it wouldn’t pressure Jing Yan at all. Jing Yan is an extremely powerful martial artist at the God Emperor Level. If even he was not qualified to participate in the Nine Realms Conference, then how many in the entire Human Territory would qualify?

”Young Friend Jing Yan!”

At this time, an elder with half-closed eyes gently smiled at Jing Yan and called out his name.

This elder was Zhi Chang the Divine Emperor, the leader of the First Divine Realm.

”Indeed, the Nine Realms Conference has no stipulations on a participant’s martial arts realm. Hehe, since Young Friend Jing Yan is already here, there’s no harm in staying to take part in the ongoing discussions.” Zhi Chang the Divine Emperor glanced at the rather flustered Menglu the Divine Emperor.

”Fellow Daoist Zhan Yue, this time we leaders of the Nine Great Divine Realms gather here to discuss strategies against the Demon Clan. I suggest we don’t waste our time in meaningless disputes, what do you think?” Zhi Chang the Divine Emperor said to Zhan Yue the Divine Emperor with a smile.
