The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1871: Great Emperor’s Conversation

Seeing Hu Changzai’s demeanor, the five of Hundong dared not be negligent.

No matter what, Hu Changzai was the City Lord of Changshan Continent, the guardian of this Chaos Continent, a mid-stage powerhouse of the Everything Realm. Hu Changzai was polite to them, and it was also because of Jing Yan.

"Jing Yan, do you have anything else to say to them?" Chenyuan Emperor asked as he saw that Jing Yan had stopped talking to the five of Hundong.

"Nothing more," Jing Yan replied.

"Then let’s leave now!" Chenyuan Emperor waved his hand.

"Swoosh!" In the sky, a black rift appeared again.

Jing Yan felt a force envelop him, and then he was swiftly drawn toward the black rift, unable to control himself. In an instant, both Chenyuan Emperor and Jing Yan vanished into the black rift. The black rift soon restored itself to its original state.

After Chenyuan Emperor departed, City Lord Hu Changzai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, his mind was under constant tension. He knew very well that Chenyuan Emperor was an extremely severe powerhouse. Hu Changzai had governed Changshan Continent for countless years and had been rather conscientious, without any major blunders.

His disrespect towards Jing Yan was only because he didn’t know Jing Yan’s identity, and Chenyuan Emperor was not unreasonable; he certainly wouldn’t arbitrarily punish him.

"Who exactly is this Jing Yan, that Chenyuan Emperor would personally come here for him?" This thought kept turning in Hu Changzai’s mind uncontrollably.

Although he wasn’t clear about the specific reasons, he believed it was definitely more than just Jing Yan being a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Even if Jing Yan was a core member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace, it wouldn’t make Chenyuan Emperor take this trip personally. Moreover, it was only after Jing Yan killed the Void Divine Palace Void Son.

"Why think so much!"

"Just do your own job well, that’s enough." Hu Changzai squinted his eyes slightly.

"Five fellow Daoists, please don’t mind the earlier misunderstandings." Hu Changzai smiled at Hundong and the others.

"It’s no matter, it’s no matter," Hundong and the others quickly said.

"You five, in the future when you’re on Changshan Continent, just focus on cultivating peacefully. If anyone troubles you, come directly to me." Hu Changzai patted his chest and said.

"Thank you, City Lord," Hundong and the others all expressed their gratitude.

In the distance, countless lives looked at Hundong and the others with envious eyes.

...

After entering the black rift, Jing Yan also had a special experience. However, very quickly, perhaps just one or two breaths, he found himself out of that environment and into a new one.

"Jing Yan, this is the Imperial Continent of Shelun Country," Chenyuan Emperor said beside Jing Yan.

"Let’s go to the Emperor’s Palace!" Chenyuan Emperor continued.

Many people in the palace were surprised to see Chenyuan Emperor bringing back a young life. But no one dared to ask more questions.

Jing Yan followed Chenyuan Emperor into a palace, where Chenyuan Emperor invited him to sit.

"Jing Yan, you must have many questions in your heart," Chenyuan Emperor said with a smile, "Don’t worry, speak slowly. I will answer all your doubts."

"First, let me tell you why I went to Changshan Continent to bring you here," Chenyuan Emperor said.

Jing Yan looked at Chenyuan Emperor.

"If you had continued to stay on Changshan Continent, you might have been captured by the Void Divine Hall. The Void Divine Hall is one of the Five Ultimate Forces, extremely powerful. And among the ultimate forces, it is the most mysterious. The Void Son holds an extremely special position in the Void Divine Hall, chosen through extremely harsh selection. Any Void Son at the same realm is nearly invincible among life at the same realm. For example, Die Dong who you killed, in the Taoist Realm life, indeed few within the Endless Chaos could surpass him," Chenyuan Emperor said.

"The Void Divine Hall places great importance on the Void Son. Die Dong’s death will soon be known to the Void Divine Hall. And, if I’m not mistaken, they will soon send strong members to Shelun Country. Facing the pursuit of the Void Divine Hall, with your current ability, it is almost impossible to escape. So, I went to Changshan Continent to bring you here. Here, under my protection, the people of the Void Divine Hall cannot take you away," Chenyuan Emperor’s tone was filled with dominance.

"Thank you, Great Emperor," Jing Yan expressed sincere thanks.

"No need to thank me! The reason I protect you, even at the risk of offending the Void Divine Hall, is also for a reason. This reason is not Hongjun Heavenly Palace, but the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space. I saw the scene when you battled with Die Dong. I saw the Ancient Tree Inheritance skills you used. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve already mastered the third layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance." Chenyuan Emperor waved his hand.

"Great Emperor, do you have a connection with the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space?" Jing Yan suddenly realized.

He had been puzzled about why Chenyuan Emperor would help him. Now it seemed that Chenyuan Emperor had an extraordinary relationship with the Ancient Tree Space, and knowing he had received the Ancient Tree Inheritance, decided to help him.

"Correct! I know there is only one way to obtain the Ancient Tree Inheritance, and that’s to become an Ancient Tree Guardian. And to protect the Ancient Tree Guardian, I would even fight against the Void Divine Hall," Chenyuan Emperor nodded heavily.

"As for my exact connection with the Ancient Tree Space, you don’t need to know too much. You just need to know my life, Chenyuan, is always at the service of the Primordial Chaos Tree," a gleam of light flashed in Chenyuan Emperor’s eyes.

"However! To be safe, I will pass information about you to Hongjun Heavenly Palace. I worry there might be accidents, and even I cannot completely protect you. But if you go to Hongjun Heavenly Palace, there will be no problems. No matter how strong the Void Divine Hall is, it can do nothing to Hongjun Heavenly Palace," Chenyuan Emperor pondered and said.

The Five Lands and Seven Countries!

The Seven Countries are still not comparable to the Five Lands. The Five Lands are called Ultimate Forces, while the Seven Countries are not.

Hearing Chenyuan Emperor’s words, Jing Yan frowned slightly.

"Jing Yan, do you want to say something?" Chenyuan Emperor asked when he saw Jing Yan’s expression change.

"Great Emperor, actually... I might not even be considered a member of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. I was created from the Ancient Tree Seed, and haven’t been in the Endless Chaos for very long. I came to Shelun Country precisely because I planned to go to Hongjun Heavenly Palace. So, the people of Hongjun Heavenly Palace..." Jing Yan gave a wry smile.

He doubted whether the people of Hongjun Heavenly Palace even knew about him. Although Senior Brother He Jiu had sent a message back to Hongjun Heavenly Palace once in Laning Country, who knew if Hongjun Heavenly Palace paid any attention to it?

"Haha, there’s no need to worry about that," Chenyuan Emperor laughed heartily.

"If Hongjun Heavenly Palace knew your abilities, would they not want you to enter? You, a genius who, with cultivation of the Taoist Realm, killed a Void Son of the same Taoist Realm," Chenyuan Emperor said.
