The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2002: Chapter 2002: Hometown Universe Discovered

Jing Yan attempted to comprehend the strange patterns, but moments later, he furrowed his brows.

It’s challenging!

In terms of difficulty, it seems harder than cultivating the Hongmeng Dao Pattern or the Ancient Tree Inheritance. It’s not that the strange patterns themselves are more challenging than top-level secret techniques of Chaos Level, rather Jing Yan had never encountered such patterns before. Suddenly trying to understand them was a bit baffling.

"No worries, no worries!"

"Having this object... let’s call it the Virtualization Stone. With this Virtualization Stone, even if comprehending the patterns inside is slow, there will eventually be progress." Jing Yan was able to let go and didn’t urgently need to master the Virtualization Ability immediately.

He put away the Virtualization Stone and continued exploring He Ming’s mobile world.

He Ming’s treasures are truly astounding. Among them are many treasures that even Jing Yan has not attained. The number of Chaos Level attack and defense items is considerable, although Jing Yan was not too concerned about these items. With the Ancient Tree Inheritance, he had little need for outside defensive treasures. As for attack-type treasures, they were merely supplementary, not providing much fundamental help. Jing Yan had the Ice Flame Sword and was too lazy to switch weapons.

"What is this..."

Jing Yan retrieved a green stele from the mobile world. He probed it with divine thought and then let a smile play on his lips.

"Yitian Poison Scripture!"

"No wonder He Ming mastered the Yitian Poison Scripture, turns out he had acquired the inheritance stele of the Yitian Poison Scripture Secret Technique," Jing Yan murmured softly.

During the battle with He Ming, Jing Yan didn’t know whether He Ming was using a secret technique or activating some treasure, at least he couldn’t be sure it was a secret technique. But after the battle, from Ye Zhen and others, Jing Yan learned that the green poisonous mist region He Ming created was a secret technique called Yitian Poison Scripture.

"This secret technique is quite ruthless! However, it could be worth learning. Using this secret technique to deal with Devouring Sky Clan life forms should be effective. Devouring Sky Clan’s physical defenses are formidable; ordinary methods don’t work well, but techniques like Yitian Poison Scripture and Divine Soul Storm are very effective," Jing Yan mused.

Though the Yitian Poison Scripture is vicious and formidable, the key lies in the character of the person mastering this secret technique. Even if Jing Yan cultivates the Yitian Poison Scripture, he’s unlikely to casually unleash it on Chaos Continents, harming innocent life.

Cultivating the Yitian Poison Scripture naturally requires a lot of resources, but Jing Yan is not short on resources now.

"Take it slow, I’ll delve further into the Hongmeng Dao Pattern first, before considering other things." Jing Yan put away the Yitian Poison Scripture stele, planning to study and learn it later when there’s time and opportunity.

After spending several days categorizing all the resources, Jing Yan put away the needed ones and left the unwanted ones aside, planning to place them in the Treasure Vault of Hongjun Heavenly Palace after finishing his retreat.

The Treasure Vault of Hongjun Heavenly Palace is a self-contained entity, managed by Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen. Even the Palace Master must use Heavenly Palace Points to withdraw resources from the vault. Of course, should the Palace Master deposit resources into the vault, he’d earn corresponding points.

This is necessary; otherwise, the points system would become chaotic.

Jing Yan can distribute the Heavenly Palace Points he earns to any member within the palace.

In the days that followed, Jing Yan entered seclusion to focus on the eighth layer of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.

Time flowed by.

While cultivating the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, Jing Yan periodically exited seclusion to inquire with the high-ranking members of Hongjun Heavenly Palace about any major events that occurred recently in chaos.

There were no major events, but it seemed for the past hundred thousand years, Devouring Sky Clan life forms have become increasingly active.

Previously, Devouring Sky Clan life forms were mainly active in the Chaotic Region for a long time, but in the last hundred thousand years, they frequently left the Chaotic Region to wreak havoc on some Chaos Continents and Chaos Countries, plundering material resources.

This phenomenon attracted attention from numerous major forces, though no one paid it too much mind. The Devouring Sky Clan life forms dispatched were relatively mediocre in strength, and entering Chaos Continents and Countries wasn’t complete destruction as before but was focused on resource plundering followed by immediate retreat, with lesser hostility than before.

Vice Palace Master Quin also revealed this phenomenon to Jing Yan, who felt that something was amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint it, opting instead to wait and observe, instructing some dispatched palace members to continue monitoring the movements of Devouring Sky Clan life forms.

In the Chaos Void!

"Found it!"

"Haha, finally found it, this Seed Universe entrance is the hometown of Hongjun Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master Jing Yan." In chaos, several figures gathered before a Seed Universe passage entrance.

Just now, someone entered the universe from here and returned to inform others of this discovery.

"Absolutely no mistake!"

"Palace Master Jing Yan, when he first entered the Endless Chaos, the first country he set foot in was Laning Country. Although Laning Country no longer exists, it was the first territory Jing Yan entered upon entering chaos. Therefore, the universe of Jing Yan’s hometown can’t be far from the Laning Country territory."

"Over the years, we’ve explored almost the entire large region surrounding the original Laning Country territory, discovering three Seed Universes in total. Among these, only this one bears traces of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace." The tall, slender man exclaimed with bright eyes.

"Hmm, it seems we finally found it!" Another person nodded.

"Before Palace Master Jing Yan left the Seed Universe, he had already mastered the Hongjun Heavenly Palace’s secret technique, Hongmeng Dao Pattern. This means the Hongmeng Dao Pattern had entered this Seed Universe and left its inheritance. Only this possibility explains how Palace Master Jing Yan could cultivate Hongmeng Dao Pattern before entering the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. And within this universe, traces of Ancestor Hong Jun are evident. There’s a formation on the other side of the entrance, still operating, a barrier formation, although significantly damaged, incapable of stopping us," said the man in the dark red robe.

"What are we waiting for? Let’s go in and see?" someone proposed.

"Hold on! We’ll certainly go in. However, before entering, we must agree on something. We’re all aware of Palace Master Jing Yan’s strength. Entering his hometown universe, we absolutely cannot act recklessly; foremost rule, we must never kill wantonly. Otherwise, should Palace Master Jing Yan take issue, none of us could bear the consequence!" The life form who had previously entered this universe to explore cast a stern look at others, expressing solemnly.

"Don’t worry, we certainly won’t act rashly. Within these Seed Universes, those at the strongest are only Earth Realm Peak Level, right? There’s no threat to us. We have no need to target those with low strength either," the man in the dark red robe laughed with a slight hint of disdain.
