The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: Witch Realm

Before Jing Yan entered the Reincarnation Path, Bai Xue had already gone into seclusion for enlightenment. Now, over eight hundred years have passed, and Bai Xue has yet to emerge from seclusion.

Enlightenment is indeed a time-consuming endeavor.

For powerful beings at the Supreme Level, a single period of enlightenment seclusion might last tens of thousands of years. Some beings who particularly enjoy seclusion in Martial Arts might remain in seclusion for even a million years.

This is why those powerful beings have a long life span but are not overly bored. During their seclusion, unless they consciously perceive it, they are unaware of the passage of time.

Jing Yan had anticipated this. He realized that if Bai Xue were still in seclusion, he might not be able to bid farewell to Bai Xue personally.

"This time, I will not meet Bai Xue to say goodbye. I will return one day to find Bai Xue," Jing Yan said in a calm voice, yet with a sense of determination.

"Very well," Lady Nu Zhen nodded.

"Jing Yan, you must be careful once you leave my residence. You know what I mean," Lady Nu Zhen continued.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will be cautious," Jing Yan understood Lady Nu Zhen’s implication.

Once he left here, he needed to beware of Jin Haiwang’s pursuit, a formidable opponent at the High-level Supreme, not someone Jing Yan could contend with at the moment.

Moreover, his enemies were not limited to Jin Haiwang alone; the cultivator Blue Entropy Supreme might also harbor malevolent intentions towards him.

Jing Yan knew that once he left Nu Zhen Mansion, danger would inevitably follow. However, he had no choice but to depart.

He needed to cultivate and further enhance his strength.

Although Nu Zhen Mansion was safe, he had no resources left, and his cultivation of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern had come to a halt. Furthermore, his progress in cultivating the Space and Time Law here was extremely slow. If he stayed, he wouldn’t know how long it would take to reach Complete mastery in the Space and Time Law.

"Lady Nu Zhen, I have one more question to ask," Jing Yan said.

"Go ahead," said Nu Zhen.

"I want to know if there’s a place where one can make significant progress in the Space and Time Law in a short period—like the Reincarnation Path for cultivating Life and Death Laws or some kind of treasure," Jing Yan asked.

"I knew you would ask that," Nu Zhen smiled, having anticipated Jing Yan’s question.

"As far as I know, Jin Haiwang has a treasure capable of cultivating the Space-time Law. But in the current situation, it’s impossible for you to utilize that treasure," Lady Nu Zhen shook her head and said.

Jing Yan gave a wry smile.

"As for others... it’s also challenging for you to use. I know several Initial Creatures who also possess similar treasures. However, these creatures have now vanished without a trace, and even I find it difficult to track them down. It is even less likely for you to find them."

"However, there is one place that might be worth visiting. This place is called the Witch Realm, which is particularly unique within the Chaos Universe. There, live certain beings known as ’Witches.’"

"With your strength, as long as you remain low-profile upon entering the Witch Realm, your safety should be ensured."

"I have entered the Witch Realm before and found there a special Secret Realm. The beings of the Witch Realm refer to it as the Extreme Land. If you can train in this Extreme Land, it would greatly assist you in mastering the Space-time Law," Lady Nu Zhen introduced some relevant information.

"Witch Realm?" Jing Yan was hearing of this place for the first time.

"Senior, do you know the specific location of the Witch Realm?" Jing Yan asked.

"I have a mark here that you can use to locate the Witch Realm. Jing Yan, if you do enter the Witch Realm, you must remain cautious. Inside, your strength is indeed considerable; however, the Witch Realm also has High-level Supreme Initial Creatures. Moreover, their methods are mysterious and unpredictable, making them more troublesome than High-level Supremes outside. In short, you must be very careful," Lady Nu Zhen said as she threw a Jade Token to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan received the Jade Token.

He noticed a trace of Divine Soul Mark within the Jade Token and instantly understood its use and purpose.

"Thank you, Lady Nu Zhen."

"I shall take my leave now," Jing Yan said, cupping his hands once more.

"Go ahead, take care," Lady Nu Zhen nodded.

Lady Nu Zhen asked a maid from the residence to guide Jing Yan out. The maid led Jing Yan all the way outside the Natural Magic Array. In fact, even without the maid’s guidance, Jing Yan could find his way out himself. His powerful Divine Soul had memorized the route when he entered with Bai Xue. Even if there were deviations, it would not be difficult for Jing Yan, a Holy Array Master, to find his way out.

Beyond the Natural Magic Array.

"Young Master Jing Yan, this is as far as I can take you," the young and beautiful maid said, looking at Jing Yan wistfully.

A cultivation genius like Jing Yan indeed possessed a strong charm. Moreover, Jing Yan’s appearance was very appealing to women. When Jing Yan first entered Nu Zhen Mansion with Bai Xue, many maids had referred to Jing Yan as a pretty boy. Although "pretty boy" is not a particularly flattering term, not every being could earn such a title.

"Thank you," Jing Yan nodded to the maid, then swiftly flew away.

Watching Jing Yan leave, the maid sighed softly before turning back into the Natural Magic Array. In truth, she was quite moved by Jing Yan. If Jing Yan had wanted her, she would have agreed without hesitation.

Jing Yan flew rapidly.

"Hmm?"

Jing Yan’s figure paused slightly, and a hint of gravity appeared on his face as he looked warily at the space ahead.

He sensed a faint trace of killing intent.

Though very faint, Jing Yan still detected it. In this place, the sudden appearance of killing intent couldn’t possibly be a coincidence.

"Hahaha..."

At that moment, a piercing laugh echoed.

Then, from directly ahead of Jing Yan, a shadow rapidly approached.

"Boy, you’re quite perceptive; even at such a distance, you managed to detect my presence. That’s quite a skill," the figure approaching spoke up.

This was a relatively small but skinny man dressed in a gray robe. Jing Yan saw that this man’s appearance was extremely ugly and his eyes were cold.

"Who are you? Why do you block my path?" Jing Yan asked sternly.

From the man’s previous remark, Jing Yan knew that he was specifically targeting him.

"I am Jin Zanzhi, the chief disciple of Jin Haiwang," Jin Zanzhi said while squinting and staring at Jing Yan, revealing his identity.

"Chief disciple of Jin Haiwang?" Jing Yan’s heart trembled slightly.

He had heard of Jin Zanzhi’s name during his time in Nu Zhen Mansion. This person was the chief disciple of Jin Haiwang. While Jin Haiwang had many disciples, only two or three were extremely outstanding and known well.
