The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1627: Chapter 1627: Though Things Remain, People Have Changed

At this moment, Jing Qingyan was refining elixirs in an alchemy room within the Jing Family Mansion.

Jing Yan was indeed a bit surprised that Jing Qingyan could cultivate to the One-star Void God Level. Jing Qingyan was obsessed with the Alchemy Dao and surely hadn’t spent much time and effort on the Martial Arts.

"Hmm, let’s meet Brother Qing Yan first. Brother Qing Yan must be aware of the family’s situation." Jing Yan’s body flashed as he directly passed through the Guardian Array of the Jing Family Mansion, arriving outside the alchemy room where Jing Qingyan was.

The formation of the Jing Family Mansion might be considered powerful in this low-class world. However, for an existence like Jing Yan, it made no difference whether this formation was there or not.

"Let’s wait a moment! We’ll go in after Brother Qing Yan finishes refining this batch of elixirs." Jing Yan said to Bai Xue and Mo Ku.

Bai Xue and Mo Ku, naturally, had no objections.

The reason Jing Yan decided to wait was not because he cared about the elixirs Jing Qingyan was refining, but because he valued the insights that might emerge during Jing Qingyan’s alchemy process. Therefore, he didn’t want to interrupt Jing Qingyan casually.

"The members of the Jing Family are indeed getting more numerous."

"However, among the disciples within this mansion, I barely know any of them." Jing Yan shook his head slightly, feeling a bit nostalgic.

Jing Yan had been away from the low-class world for more than ten thousand years, and in that time, who knows how many generations of Jing Family Disciples had been born. These disciples could also be considered Jing Yan’s descendants. People like Jing Qingyan were regarded as ancestors within the Jing Family.

Of those who lived in the same era as Jing Yan, not many might still be alive.

After all, only those who reached the Saint Realm could have a longer life span. Below the Saint Realm, it was nearly impossible to survive until now. Even if the Jing Family Disciples had sufficient cultivation resources, not many of them back then could reach the Saint Realm.

Jing Yan didn’t have to wait long; Jing Qingyan finished refining the elixir. After retrieving the elixir, Jing Qingyan exhaled a breath of relief as the batch of elixirs was successfully refined.

At this moment, the mechanical door of the alchemy room suddenly opened.

The alchemy room, to put it simply, was almost like a secret chamber. It was not easy for people outside to come in. Therefore, when the mechanical door suddenly opened, Jing Qingyan was taken aback.

Not many could open this mechanical door, and even among the few high-ranking members of the Jing Family who could, none would barge in during his elixir refining.

Jing Qingyan’s face turned cold with some displeasure in his heart.

"Brother Qing Yan!" Jing Yan entered with Bai Xue and Mo Ku, looking at Jing Qingyan and smiling as he greeted him.

Hearing this voice, Jing Qingyan was truly stupefied.

The voice was very familiar.

Moreover, it addressed him as Brother Qing Yan.

In the Jing Family, not many could address him like this nowadays.

Upon a closer look, Jing Qingyan’s pupils contracted sharply.

"Jing Yan?" Jing Qingyan actually recognized Jing Yan at first glance, but he found it hard to accept at once. How could he imagine that Jing Yan would suddenly appear before him?

"It’s me! Brother Qing Yan, it’s been a long time. How have you been these thousands of years?" Jing Yan walked up to Jing Qingyan.

"Jing Yan, you... you’ve returned from the God Realm?" Jing Qingyan asked, his voice trembling with excitement.

Back then, it was all thanks to Jing Yan’s guidance that he embarked on the path of alchemy. At the time, he was but a minor pharmacist, and it was Jing Yan who helped him become a Pill Master and taught him the Alchemy Dao.

"Yes, I’m back. I’ve been away for a long time, so I returned to take a look." Jing Yan nodded.

"Good! Great! Jing Yan, I thought I might never see you again." Jing Qingyan’s eyes reddened.

"How could you never see me again? Brother Qing Yan, you’ve reached the One-star Void God Realm as well, so you can go to the God Realm anytime! The Divine Domain connected with our world is called Luli Divine Domain. Over there, someone will look after warriors from our world, so there’s no safety issue." Jing Yan said with a smile.

"Ah?"

"Jing Yan, don’t you know the Void Channel has been destroyed?" Jing Qingyan said in shock.

"The Void Channel destroyed?" Jing Yan frowned, as he truly did not know about this.

"Yes, the Void Channel leading from our world to the God Realm has been unusable for a long time. We don’t know what’s going on either, but warriors from this world can no longer use the Void Channel to reach the God Realm. Nowadays, we’ve got some One-star Void God level warriors in our world, yet they all have to stay here." Jing Qingyan shook his head.

"If the Void Channel was still usable, I also planned on going to the God Realm." Jing Qingyan added. His achievements in alchemy in this world had reached their peak, and to make further significant progress, he had to go to the God Realm.

Jing Yan’s expression changed slightly.

Although the Void Channel was unstable and could only bear a One-star Void God Warrior passing through, it shouldn’t destroy itself without a special reason.

"No worries!"

"If the Void Channel can’t be used, we will just build a new one." Jing Yan said, his expression returning to normal.

Building a stable Void Channel was not a challenge for Jing Yan now.

"Brother Qing Yan, Uncle Chenxing..." Jing Yan continued.

"Father passed away; he couldn’t reach the Saint Realm. It’s been eight thousand years since he left..." Jing Qingyan’s face was quite calm.

Jing Yan also sighed inwardly.

He had anticipated that Uncle Jing Chenxing might have passed, but hearing the confirmed news still gave him a sense of sadness.

Perhaps, he should have come back sooner. However, before stepping into the Heavenly Venerate Realm, he couldn’t return to the low-class world. He reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm just recently, in the Chaos Secret Realm of Sky Creation City.

Of course, he could have returned with the help of other Heavenly Venerates.

"Brother Qing Yan, are my parents not residing within the mansion?" Jing Yan asked again.

Father Jing Lunnan and mother Chu Lianxing surely wouldn’t die from a depletion of their life span.

"Uncle Luran and Aunt rarely stay at the family mansion. They enjoy traveling around the world and might not return for years. But don’t worry, we can send them a message to tell them you’ve returned." Jing Qingyan said with a pleasant smile.

"Also, Jing Yun has gone to the Holy Hall. It’s the time for the Void God Conference, held once every hundred years, where the Void Gods of this world participate in a grand event. It’s quite lively." Jing Qingyan continued.

"Hmm, it seems the Void Gods in our low-class world are not few." Jing Yan smiled.

"Indeed, there are quite a few. Across the seven continents and the Abyss, there are many Void God warriors. However, our Jing Family remains the undisputed leading family, and we have the most Void God warriors." Jing Qingyan said.
