The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2301: Chapter 2301: A Heart’s Promise

The Night Moon Immortal Emperor established the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain not out of a love for slaughter but to reduce the killings and evil in Iron Bay.

After confirming that the person before him was indeed the Night Moon Immortal Emperor, Jing Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out the Emperor Weapon, Moon God Bell.

Returning the Moon God Bell truly pained his heart; after all, it was an Emperor Weapon! But, since the Moon God Bell belonged to the Night Moon Immortal Emperor, who was also his martial uncle, Jing Yan had not reached a level of shamelessness to forcibly keep it.

”Night Moon Immortal Emperor, this is your Emperor Weapon, the Moon God Bell,” Jing Yan handed over the Moon God Bell.

The Night Moon Immortal Emperor did not immediately take the Moon God Bell.

Looking at Jing Yan, she asked, ”Jing Yan, do you like this weapon?”

Jing Yan instinctively nodded.

Who wouldn’t like an Emperor Weapon? Even without using it, merely relying on the countless High Grade Divine Patterns within the Emperor Weapon could save many detours in cultivation.

”If you like it, just keep it,” said the Night Moon Immortal Emperor.

”Ah?” Jing Yan was dumbfounded.

This Night Moon Immortal Emperor was too generous, right? Willing to give away an Emperor Weapon?

”The Moon God Bell is of little use to me now; otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed Youlong to casually take the Moon God Bell out of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.”

”Hehe...”

”My injuries have no hope of recovery, and I cannot return to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Even if I keep the Moon God Bell, what use is it?” The Night Moon Immortal Emperor smiled bitterly.

”This... how can I accept this?” Jing Yan said this, but he swiftly stored the Moon God Bell away.

At present, Jing Yan could only crudely activate the Moon God Bell even with full effort, but he could achieve cultivation goals through studying the Divine Patterns inside the Moon God Bell. The Moon God Bell was indeed of great use to him.

”Night Moon Immortal Emperor, you were once a strong figure in the Immortal Emperor Realm, how did you get injured? And such severe injuries at that.” Jing Yan asked curiously.

Though the Night Moon Immortal Emperor’s fame wasn’t as great as the Thunder Emperor in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain, and her strength might not match up, she was still an Immortal Emperor, a revered existence.

Immortal Emperors were true immortals, figures on the Chaotic Primordial Golden List.

Hearing Jing Yan’s question, the Night Moon Immortal Emperor seemed to drift into memories, remaining silent for a long time.

”Sigh...” The Night Moon Immortal Emperor sighed deeply.

”The matter is very complex and far-reaching. If I tell you, you may be drawn into it. Even if you’ve entered the Immortal Emperor level, you’d still face threats to your life.”

”I actually came from the Mixed Element Immortal Domain to the Nightmare City region to escape,” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor said with melancholy.

Jing Yan sensed some meaning, quickly asking, ”Night Moon Immortal Emperor, were you gravely injured by other cultivators? What about the Thunder Emperor? I heard in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain that the Thunder Emperor is one of the strongest Immortal Emperors, you are his sister. Can’t the Thunder Emperor protect you?”

The Night Moon Immortal Emperor shook her head.

”If the Thunder Emperor were around, the Thunder Domain of Kunling Heaven wouldn’t have ended up in its current state,” Ye Yue said helplessly.

”What... does that mean?” Jing Yan sensed a significant issue, could it be that the Thunder Emperor had also encountered a mishap?

Jing Yan pressed on, but the Night Moon Immortal Emperor was resolute, refusing to disclose any further information about the matter, stating that telling Jing Yan too much would involve him, leaving no one to save him.

”Jing Yan, you can employ the Thunder Light Shining from the Thunder Origin, right?” asked the Night Moon Immortal Emperor.

”Yes,” Jing Yan replied.

”What about the second move of the Thunder Origin single attack, the Thunder Nine Strikes?” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor asked again.

”The conditions to perform the Thunder Nine Strikes are very high. Although I have given my all, I cannot yet perform the Thunder Nine Strikes. Moreover, performing the Thunderclap Ultimate not only requires sufficient prowess in Thunder Attribute Law but also requires integrating many special energies into the Power of Laws, needing numerous precious and rare materials.”

”Before coming to the Nightmare City region, I asked someone to help me find the materials needed for the Thunder Nine Strikes. However, in Faro Heaven, there might be hope to find other materials, but there’s no hope for the Thunder Origin Stone,” Jing Yan said slowly.

”The Thunder Origin Stone?”

”That’s simple, I have some, I’ll give them to you. After all, keeping them is of no use to me.” The Night Moon Immortal Emperor, wearing black gloves, raised her hand, revealing several fist-sized stones.

The surface of these stones appeared silver, but upon closer inspection, one could see strands of Thunder Light flickering on the surface.

These were the Thunder Origin Stones, special minerals only found in the Thunder Domain of Kunling Heaven, extremely rare in quantity.

Being the sister of the Thunder Emperor, it wasn’t surprising that the Night Moon Immortal Emperor had Thunder Origin Stones.

”Thank you, Night Moon Immortal Emperor,” Jing Yan said without reservation.

Initially planning to look for Thunder Origin Stones in Kunling Heaven, now it seems he has hope to perform the Thunder Nine Strikes without going there. During his time in the Nightmare City region, perhaps the Mystic Moon Trading House had already obtained the remaining materials. This means that when he returns to Faro Heaven, he will have hope of performing the Thunder Nine Strikes.

”No need to be courteous with me, you are a disciple of the Thunder Emperor, equivalent to being my disciple. I have... never taken a disciple,” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor looked at Jing Yan with a playful smile.

Jing Yan gave an awkward laugh, neither acknowledging nor refuting the words of the Night Moon Immortal Emperor.

”Did you cultivate the Soul Technique Shadow Soul Kill after coming to Iron Bay?” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor asked again.

”Yes,” Jing Yan nodded, ”In Faro Heaven, I never obtained a Soul Technique. Even the biggest commercial organization in Faro Heaven, the Mystic Moon Trading House, couldn’t acquire Soul Techniques.”

”Hmm.”

”Your Soul Cultivation Talent is extremely high, even people from the Nightmare Clan would struggle to find someone with such talent.”

”The Shadow Soul Kill is a fine Soul Technique, but after all, it’s only a Low-level Soul Skill. You... want to obtain more advanced Soul Techniques, don’t you?” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor said.

”Of course, but High-level Souls Techniques seem to be very difficult to obtain, and they are extremely rare in the Nightmare City region,” Jing Yan looked at the Night Moon Immortal Emperor with anticipation.

”Don’t look at me like that. I don’t have High-level Soul Technique Manuals,” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor quickly saw through Jing Yan’s intentions.

Hearing the Night Moon Immortal Emperor say this, Jing Yan felt slightly disappointed.

”Don’t be disappointed. Though I don’t have High-level Soul Technique Manuals, I do have ways to obtain High-level Soul Techniques. But... we need to make a trip to Nightmare City,” the Night Moon Immortal Emperor said, adding.

”Alright, alright!” Jing Yan nodded enthusiastically.

Only after Jing Yan used the Shadow Soul Kill against enemies did he truly understand the formidable and terrifying nature of Soul Techniques. The Low-level Soul Technique, Shadow Soul Kill, was already so fierce; what of High-level Soul Techniques?

The Night Moon Immortal Emperor helped Jing Yan greatly, although Jing Yan didn’t say much, he had deeply engraved the deeds in his heart. The Night Moon Immortal Emperor didn’t reveal how she got injured, but Jing Yan wasn’t foolish. From her few words, he was certain that the Night Moon Immortal Emperor and Thunder Emperor had enemies in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain. The Thunder Emperor’s disappearance likely related to those one or several adversaries.

”If I have the ability, I will endeavor to repay this kindness. If I have the ability, I will endeavor to help my martial uncle, the Night Moon Immortal Emperor, restore her Cultivation to the Immortal Emperor Realm. I, Jing Yan, will do my utmost to gain this ability,” Jing Yan thought silently, though he spoke nothing aloud.
