The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1626: Chapter 1626: The Vicissitudes of the Sea

The Sky Demon Clan pledged allegiance, with all high-ranking demon kings making an oath that henceforth, the Sky Demon Clan would follow the lead of the Human Clan.

What followed became much simpler. The matter of rewarding the Human Clan’s army was entrusted by Jing Yan to Chunyu and the other two first-tier Heavenly Venerates. As for himself, he took Bai Xue to other Demon Domains to retrieve the Black Sons within the demon towers of those domains.

Only the Black Son of the demon tower in the Central Demon Domain, also known as the Red Skin Demon Domain, was left.

The Demon Ancestor Mo Ku also accompanied Jing Yan at all times.

Through further understanding, Jing Yan discovered that Demon Ancestor Mo Ku was initially created by the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor. Along with the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor, several other heavenly demons were born, yet they have all since vanished without a trace. Only this Demon Ancestor Mo Ku would still occasionally visit the Demon Domain.

When Jing Yan and Bai Xue were about to leave the Demon Domain, an unexpected event occurred. Demon Ancestor Mo Ku expressed his desire to follow Jing Yan as a servant, which caught Jing Yan off guard.

Although Demon Ancestor Mo Ku had indeed reached the Chaos Supreme level, ordinary as it might be, it was genuine. With such power, Mo Ku surprisingly wished to acknowledge Jing Yan as his master.

Mo Ku even offered to make an extremely stringent Heavenly Dao oath to dispel Jing Yan’s concerns. With such an oath, even entertaining harmful thoughts against Jing Yan would lead to divine retribution or even annihilation.

In fact, Mo Ku had been impressed by Jing Yan’s potential.

He had already learned much about Jing Yan, knowing that Jing Yan was a very young human who had only been cultivating for a mere ten thousand years. Moreover, a human being capable of cultivating the Ten Thousand Realms Technique of the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor was an extraordinary feat. To Mo Ku, Jing Yan was destined to reach the apex of the Chaotic Universe in the future.

Mo Ku was among the first heavenly demons created by the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor, suggesting he had lived an incredibly long time. However, despite his long life, Mo Ku was unable to surpass the ordinary Supreme level due to innate limitations, regardless of his countless attempts.

But by aligning with Jing Yan, perhaps Jing Yan might come up with a solution in the future?

Indeed, the Sky Demon Clan was not a particularly insightful race. They relied mostly on physical strength and had unique talents similar to the Beast Clan.

Jing Yan eventually agreed to Demon Ancestor Mo Ku’s request to become a servant. Mo Ku’s formidable powers could certainly be put to great use.

Mo Ku’s physical form could be arbitrarily altered in size. Unlike the demon kings of the Sky Demon Clan, who could not freely change their size and had to remain within the demon tower to shrink, Mo Ku, being at the Supreme level, found this a non-issue.

Jing Yan requested Mo Ku to assume the size of a human, making it easier for Mo Ku to accompany him.

"Bai Xue, now that the affairs in the Demon Domain are concluded, will you accompany me back to the lower world?" Jing Yan asked for Bai Xue’s opinion.

Bai Xue and Jing Yan both hailed from the same lower world. Bai Xue also had relatives in the lower world, providing a chance for her to visit them.

"Sure!" Bai Xue nodded.

Her expression shifted slightly as she thought of her father. Since being taken away by her master, Lady Nu Zhen, ages ago, Bai Xue had never seen her father.

Jing Yan, along with Bai Xue and Mo Ku, first returned to the Luli Divine Domain in the Seventh Divine Domain.

Returning to the Luli Divine Domain, it was only natural to visit the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, to meet with the Palace Master, who was also his senior brother Xiao Ying, and some old friends.

Jing Yan made a point to visit the Wilderness to see old friends from the Heavenly Origin Tribe.

To these familiar old friends, Jing Yan gifted numerous precious resources. Although these resources meant little to Jing Yan, they were extremely valuable to his friends, each considered a supreme treasure.

Finally, Jing Yan arrived at the spatial node leading to his original lower world. With Jing Yan’s power, opening a void channel was effortless. Even an ordinary Heavenly Venerate could achieve this. Once the void channel was opened, Jing Yan and his companions were able to traverse back to the lower world.

"Master, is this the lower world where you were born?" Mo Ku surveyed this barren world.

"Indeed! Both Bai Xue and I were born in this lower world. Naturally, it cannot compare to the God’s Realm, nor to the Demon Domain," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"This lower world appears barren, but there must be something extraordinary about it. How else could it produce strong figures such as you and Lady Bai Xue? The Human Territory in Chaos is vast, yet no human Supreme has ever been heard of, except for you two," Mo Ku commented.

Jing Yan smiled slightly without saying much.

"Let’s go!" Jing Yan said succinctly. With a burst of energy enveloping Bai Xue and Mo Ku, they arrived directly in Donglin City on the Heavenly Origin Continent.

Now, Donglin City had grown larger than it was when Jing Yan had left.

Under the coverage of Jing Yan’s divine thoughts, Donglin City seemed to be the largest city in the entire world. Even compared to the previous Holy Master, Donglin City was more prosperous.

Within Jing Yan’s divine thoughts, the entire Jing Family Mansion was clearly visible.

"Where is that rascal Jing Yun?" Jing Yan’s divine thought sought out Jing Yun’s presence.

"Hmm? Not within the Jing Family Mansion?" Jing Yan frowned.

Though it had been over ten thousand years since they last met, Jing Yan was naturally not unfamiliar with his son. If Jing Yun were within the mansion, his divine soul aura would have been instantly detected by Jing Yan. Yet now, Jing Yan could not sense Jing Yun’s presence.

Jing Yun was long a one-star Void God, so Jing Yan was not worried about Jing Yun dying of old age. Barring any accidents, Jing Yun was expected to live well.

Currently, the Jing Family should still be the most potent family in this lower world. Furthermore, Jing Yun was the strongest martial artist as a one-star Void God, so what could happen?

Jing Yan shook his head without further concern.

Of course, Jing Yan’s divine thought could explore the entire lower world, but doing so would require more time. For the moment, there was no need. Finding where Jing Yun went could be achieved by asking the higher-ups of the Jing Family.

"Father and mother... they aren’t here either!"

"And the aura of Jing Chengye is also absent," Jing Yan shook his head again.

Jing Chengye was once the clan leader of the Jing Family. However, Jing Chengye’s talent was mediocre, and in a lower world, it was unlikely he reached the Saint Realm, let alone the Void God. After over ten thousand years, he may have long since died from exhaustion of lifespan.

"Uncle Jing Chenxing’s aura is also absent!"

"Hmm? The aura of Brother Qing Yan..." Jing Yan sensed the divine soul fluctuations of Jing Qingyan.

Jing Qingyan was the son of Jing Chenxing.

Back then, Jing Yan was closest to Jing Chenxing in the Jing Family.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Qing Yan has reached the one-star Void God level. What is he doing now? Haha, he’s practicing alchemy, just as he always loved," Jing Yan laughed.
