The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 924: You’re Thinking Too Simply

Everyone knows Mr. Zhong in the Buffer Zone.

But Jing Yan was quite unfamiliar to the crowd. No one here had ever seen Jing Yan. In their impression, the Five Divine Domains of Despair Abyss did not have a Divine Race powerhouse like Jing Yan.

"Who is he?"

"I don’t recognize him, no impression."

"I haven’t seen him either. However, since he’s traveling with Mr. Zhong, he must not be simple."

The whispers spread.

"Mr. Zhong!" Several Half-step Void Gods had already cupped their hands in greeting to Mr. Zhong, their attitudes relatively courteous.

To everyone, Mr. Zhong was an extremely mysterious figure, also recognized as the person with the most tricks in this world. Mr. Zhong appeared to be just a martial artist of Saint Realm Third Stage, yet the exact level of his cultivation was a subject of many debates among the Saint Realm martial artists.

It was said that once a Half-step Void God tried to trouble Mr. Zhong, but the result was that Mr. Zhong continued to live well, while that Half-step Void God slunk away dejectedly. Since then, that Half-step Void God never mentioned Mr. Zhong publicly again.

This significantly deepened Mr. Zhong’s mystique.

Would an ordinary Saint Realm Third Stage martial artist be able to humiliate a Half-step Void God?

"Fellow Daoists, it’s been a long time!" Mr. Zhong also smiled and cupped his hands in return.

Shortly thereafter, the defensive energy shield of the Holy Light Tower opened a gap, allowing Jing Yan and Mr. Zhong to walk in.

"Mr. Zhong, this fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar, could you introduce him?" Ouyang Lin, a Half-step Void God from Tianhui Continent, squinted at Jing Yan and asked Mr. Zhong.

"Heh... this is Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, from Heavenly Origin Continent," Mr. Zhong smiled introducing Jing Yan.

"Heavenly Origin Continent?"

"No wonder he’s traveling with Mr. Zhong; Heavenly Origin Continent is closest to the Buffer Zone," Ouyang Lin nodded in realization.

Since he was from Heavenly Origin Continent, naturally he was a native human. This explained why Mr. Zhong and Jing Yan had come directly to the Natives Camp rather than the Divine Race camp.

Ouyang Lin’s gaze towards Jing Yan now showed obvious disdain.

It wasn’t just him; most martial artists present had lost their previous curiosity and intrigue.

Coming from Heavenly Origin Continent, he wouldn’t be a powerhouse, likely just an ordinary cultivator of Dao Emperor realm. It seemed Mr. Zhong had a good relationship with him, thus he was able to come here.

Mr. Zhong’s ability to move swiftly in Flame Land wasn’t surprising. They could see the artifact Mr. Zhong had just stored away was a powerful Holy Artifact, and being a water attribute artifact, it was able to counter the Destruction Fire of Flame Land.

Of course, the martial artists from Heavenly Origin Continent, like Yi Xiang, greeted Jing Yan warmly.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan."

"Greetings, young friend Jing Yan. You must be young, right? Rare to see such a young martial artist from Heavenly Origin Continent."

Native Saints could not return to Human Territory; they spent almost all their time in the Sky Sacred Hall, continually cultivating. They rarely entered the Five Divine Domains of the Divine Race unless absolutely necessary.

The natives of the Sky Sacred Hall also held their own ore veins territory in Chaotic Land, where they could obtain numerous Spirit Stones and mineral resources. Furthermore, Chaotic Land had numerous Spirit Grass resources.

The crowd from Heavenly Origin Continent greeted Jing Yan warmly. Some even considered Jing Yan a junior.

Jing Yan courteously returned their greetings, even though he was regarded as a junior. He didn’t mind. He had been cultivating for less than a hundred years; truly he was still a junior. Most importantly, these people held no hostility towards him.

"Jing Yan, these Daoists are all survivors from the human-divine clash," Mr. Zhong said to Jing Yan.

During the human-divine clash, Mr. Zhong was active in various places. Though he hailed from God Realm as part of the Divine Race, he remained neutral, familiar with both natives and Divine Race.

Mr. Zhong clearly noticed that martial artists from other continents showed indifference towards Jing Yan, possibly looking down on him. However, Mr. Zhong didn’t plan to tell them about Jing Yan’s formidable strength, such as how Jing Yan had just killed the top-tier Half-step Void God from the Divine Race, Yin Shui, a few hours ago.

Their contempt for Jing Yan and their underestimating his strength was their own perspective.

"So, you all are our predecessors from Heavenly Origin Continent," Jing Yan respectfully said.

If it weren’t for these predecessors’ resistance at that time, the Human Territory today might have already been completely occupied by the Divine Race, especially as Heavenly Origin Continent was the closest to Despair Abyss. Even if natives didn’t get completely exterminated, their living conditions wouldn’t be as peaceful as they were now. Would the Divine Race from God Realm allow natives to cultivate and grow strong to rebel against them?

Hence, Jing Yan genuinely respected these people, especially the martial artists from Heavenly Origin Continent.

"We should avoid reminiscing and chatting for now; this Flame Land is highly dangerous. It’s best to quickly move through this area," Ouyang Lin frowned, displeased with the martial artists from Heavenly Origin Continent and Jing Yan for idle conversation.

"Yi Xiang, proceed with scouting." Ouyang Lin urged Yi Xiang.

"Wait a moment," Jing Yan interrupted Ouyang Lin.

"Earlier, when I arrived with Mr. Zhong, I saw someone killed by the Destruction Fire upon leaving the defense energy shield," Jing Yan frowned and said.

"To pass through Flame Land, some sacrifice is inevitable. Scouting is naturally dangerous. Without scouts, we may not last to escape Flame Land. The road ahead is still unseen, and we don’t know how much further we need to go to leave this dangerous place," Ouyang Lin snorted lightly.

If not for Mr. Zhong, he wouldn’t bother explaining so much to Jing Yan. A youngster from Heavenly Origin Continent was not worth the attention of a Half-step Void God.

"Young friend Jing Yan, you don’t need to say more. I’ll go scouting now; if I die, the martial artists from Heavenly Origin Continent can continue to be protected. Moreover, I might be lucky enough to survive outside for a while," Yi Xiang smiled and shook his head, signaling Jing Yan to stop talking.

"Fellow Daoist Yi Xiang, you don’t need to do this. Even without scouts, we can speed up and move forward," Jing Yan said to Yi Xiang.

With his participation, maintaining the defense energy shield would be much easier, allowing everyone to move faster.

"Haha..." Ouyang Lin laughed harshly upon hearing this.

"Young friend Jing Yan, you are too naive." Xiao Qian from Heavenly Deficiency Continent also squinted and shook his head, "We have many people, but maintaining such a wide energy shield primarily relies on several Half-step Void Gods. You and Mr. Zhong moved quickly because your energy shield was small, and Mr. Zhong’s Holy Artifact is unique."
