Chapter 1886: Chapter 1886: Vindication
Mandala’s strength is indeed not weak.
If it were outside, with Mandala’s current strength, he could still manage to hold his own against some mid-stage All Things Realm experts for a while. If he can’t win, retreating unscathed wouldn’t be a difficult task.
But compared to Jing Yan, there was a significant gap.
How strong is Jing Yan? Before coming to Hongjun Heavenly Palace, Jing Yan effortlessly killed the Void Son Die Dong. Die Dong’s combat power was not inferior to those ordinary All Things Realm Beings at all. Furthermore, Die Dong had a treasure with astonishing defensive capabilities obtained from the Void Divine Hall. Even so, Die Dong could not escape the fate of being slain by Jing Yan.
It can be said that back in Shelun Country, Jing Yan’s combat power was already completely comparable to mid-stage All Things Realm experts, or even capable of defeating them. Facing the City Lord of Changshan Continent, who was a mid-stage All Things Realm expert, Jing Yan was not afraid at all.
And now that Jing Yan has come to Hongjun Heavenly Palace, although not for long, after studying various Secret Techniques at the Nuwa Divine Palace for a period, Jing Yan’s mastery and understanding of Hongmeng Dao Pattern and Ancient Tree Inheritance have made some progress unconsciously.
In this situation, how can Mandala, this All Things Realm, compare with Jing Yan?
Moreover, he had just entered the All Things Realm not long ago, and his grasp of the All Things Realm was perhaps not yet fully mature. Being struck away by a single sword from Jing Yan is indeed a very normal thing.
Mandala screamed as he was knocked far away, and his speed only gradually reduced.
And this scene made all those Hongjun Heavenly Palace members in front of the Nuwa Divine Hall shut their mouths obediently. The shock in their hearts was something they couldn’t express in words.
Mandala being struck away by just one sword from Jing Yan was something they could not even imagine. Because Jing Yan only had the Taoist Realm cultivation, not the All Things Realm. Even Senior Brother Qing Lian would inevitably be at a disadvantage in a battle against Mandala of the All Things Realm.
But now...
Feng Chi, who had been clamoring all along, had his eyes nearly popping out. Incredibly, the sneer at the corners of his mouth had not faded. He was still imagining the scene where Senior Brother Mandala would severely teach Jing Yan a lesson.
The members of Nuwa Divine Hall were first shocked, then ecstatic.
Powerful!
Jing Yan Senior Brother is too powerful!
Now they understood why Jing Yan Senior Brother could become a Core Disciple as soon as he entered Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Previous rumors said that it was because of the relationship with Nuwa Palace Master that Jing Yan could obtain the status of Core Disciple. Now, it seems, that was pure nonsense. Jing Yan Senior Brother became a Core Disciple entirely due to his own strength.
The Nuwa Divine Palace can finally hold its head high!
But many people couldn’t imagine why Jing Yan’s strength was so strong, seemingly even more formidable than Senior Brother Qing Lian.
They had always thought that the level of Taoist Realm of Senior Brother Qing Lian was virtually an invincible existence within the same realm.
In fact, not just them, but even the various Hall Masters of the Heavenly Palace had always thought so, hadn’t they?
Void Son Die Dong, Core Disciple Qing Lian, all these Hall Masters believed that they were unrivaled within the same realm.
"Now, who else wants to spar with me?" Jing Yan didn’t immediately put away his Colorful Cloud Sword and turned his gaze around.
No one spoke.
Kidding, even Senior Brother Mandala of the All Things Realm was struck away with a single sword and couldn’t get up for a good while. Who among them could fight against Jing Yan?
"Feng Chi, why aren’t you speaking? Didn’t you want to spar with me?" Jing Yan looked at Feng Chi.
Feng Chi’s face turned pale, and faced with Jing Yan’s questioning, he couldn’t utter a single word.
"There is always someone stronger out there!"
"Remember this: don’t think just because you have a bit of strength that you are already very strong. Before, I ignored you because I didn’t want to waste time. But what about you? You became even more excessive, gathered in front of Nuwa Divine Palace every day to show off."
"You are all Outer Disciples or Inner Disciples, while I am a Core Disciple. You are aware of Hongjun Heavenly Palace’s rules. Do you want to challenge me? Want to make me look bad? You simply don’t have the qualification! Today, I won’t hold anything against you much. But if anyone tries to step on me again in the future, I won’t show mercy again."
Jing Yan’s voice traveled far.
According to the rules of Hongjun Heavenly Palace, these Inner Disciples and Outer Disciples actively challenging Jing Yan, the Core Disciple, would justify Jing Yan taking direct action to strike or even kill them. However, Jing Yan showed leniency. He also didn’t continue chasing after Mandala. Otherwise, with Jing Yan’s strength, utilizing Gravity Magic, Mandala wouldn’t even be able to escape. If one sword couldn’t kill him, a few more certainly would.
In terms of survival ability, Mandala was inferior even to the Void Son Die Dong.
"Jing Yan Senior Brother! It was indeed we who were disrespectful earlier."
"We didn’t realize Jing Yan Senior Brother’s strength was actually this formidable."
"In the future, we absolutely won’t dare to show any disrespect to Jing Yan Senior Brother again."
These Outer and Inner Disciples mostly offered Jing Yan their apologies with expressions of guilt.
"Alright, no need for more words, disperse!"
"Feng Chi, it seems you are still not convinced, am I right?" Jing Yan looked at the pale-faced Feng Chi and asked.
"No!" Feng Chi’s mouth twitched as he said.
"No? Hmph, you’re far from it. Both you and I are at the Fifth-step Dao Method Realm in terms of cultivation. But in terms of combat power, I can kill you with just a swing of my sword."
"Don’t believe me? I can tell you, I only used three swords to kill the Void Son Die Dong!" Jing Yan sneered as he spoke.
"What?" Feng Chi and the others’ expressions changed further.
The name Die Dong was not unfamiliar to them.
In the entire Endless Chaos, a lifeform like Die Dong was extremely rare. Moreover, Die Dong was the Void Son, one of the final disciples of the Void Divine Hall.
Jing Yan Senior Brother actually killed Die Dong?
The news of Die Dong’s death hadn’t spread completely yet.
After all, it had only been a short time. After Jing Yan killed Die Dong, he was immediately taken to the Imperial City by Chenyuan Emperor, and then quickly brought back to Hongjun Heavenly Palace by Nuwa Palace Master. Jing Yan had been at Hongjun Heavenly Palace for over a year at most.
The Inner and Outer Disciples of Hongjun Heavenly Palace hadn’t received the news of Die Dong’s death, which was quite normal.
After finishing these words, Jing Yan returned to the Nuwa Divine Palace, intending to continue researching various Secret Techniques in the Secret Technique Room.
Even though he is now at Hongjun Heavenly Palace, enjoying the protection of the palace, Jing Yan still feels a strong sense of urgency. He needs to step into the All Things Realm as soon as possible. Becoming an All Things Realm expert would afford him some degree of self-protection in the Endless Chaos. More importantly, he can’t stay at Hongjun Heavenly Palace indefinitely.
Jing Yan has always been thinking about his home universe. Entering the All Things Realm early, and spending some time and effort studying Array Dao, might just allow him to repair the Sealing Array that Ancestor Hong Jun arranged in the past.
