The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2008: Chapter 2008: Unleashing Restraint

Inside the secret realm, Jiao Jian leisurely sipped fine wine, while dozens of stunningly beautiful maidservants kneeled to serve him.

These women were clearly very afraid, yet they had to force smiles. The person they were serving could easily kill them if he was even slightly displeased. Outside the palace, several women just like them had been killed, their bodies displayed there.

These women were completely unclothed. The scene was, to say the least, quite erotic.

After drinking another glass of wine, Jiao Jian waved his hand dismissively.

"Leave, all of you!" Jiao Jian commanded with a wave of his hand.

These beautiful women quickly left as if granted amnesty.

"A bunch of lowly wenches, when I leave, I’ll kill all of you!" Jiao Jian’s eyes were cold and sinister.

Then, with a flip of his hand, a token appeared.

It was a communication token.

Looking closely, one could see the words "Boundaryless Spirit Mountain" faintly appearing on the token.

This was an internal communication token from one of the ultimate forces in the endless chaos, the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, and it was a very high-level token.

Jiao Jian activated the token and transmitted a message.

"Master Kong Ying!" Jiao Jian’s divine thought was filled with respect, and his expression was devout.

Soon, there was a response from the other side.

"Jiao Jian, any progress?" A deep voice asked.

"Master Kong Ying, I have been making every effort to carry out your instructions. However, based on the information I have so far, I have not found anything unusual in this universe; it seems no different from other seed universes. I have personally inspected the places where Palace Master Jing Yan once trained in this universe, and they all seem ordinary," Jiao Jian said.

"Hmm, I expected as much. What extraordinary things could a mere seed universe possibly hold? I sent you just to confirm. Of course, perhaps there is something quite unique that requires more time to find. Jiao Jian, you should stay in that universe a bit longer," Kong Ying said.

"Yes, Master! I also have another matter to report to you. In this universe, I killed a life at the Taoist Realm," Jiao Jian added.

The life he killed at the Taoist Realm was Duanmu Supreme.

"What?" Kong Ying’s aura changed.

"Jiao Jian, what’s going on?"

"Didn’t I warn you to be more restrained? While lives at the Taoist Realm are nothing in chaos, they are definitely the most elite in a seed universe, and they might even be acquainted with Palace Master Jing Yan!" Kong Ying reprimanded, dissatisfied.

"Master, I was already quite restrained. Since entering this universe, I haven’t killed many. It’s just that the life called Duanmu at the Taoist Realm was too excessive, daring to be rude in front of me. If I didn’t kill him, I’m afraid the other natives would lose their fear, making it even harder to gather information," Jiao Jian explained.

"Besides, Master, although I haven’t found anything special in this universe, I haven’t been without gain. Ancestor Hong Jun once came to this universe and left behind the Hongmeng Dao Pattern inheritance. Now, I already know where to find this Hongmeng Dao Pattern Secret Method," Jiao Jian quickly added.

"Oh?" Kong Ying’s tone changed again.

The Hongmeng Dao Pattern is the Palace Secret Method of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, a top-tier chaos-level secret method, ranking among the top few in the entire endless chaos. Such a secret method is, of course, very tempting. This time, Kong Ying sent Jiao Jian into Jing Yan’s home universe to not only probe if this universe was special but also to find the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.

Many in chaos knew that Palace Master Jing Yan trained in the Hongmeng Dao Pattern after leaving his universe, so it was naturally inferred that the Hongmeng Dao Pattern Secret Method existed in Jing Yan’s home universe.

"Master Kong Ying, based on the information I have gathered, I can roughly confirm that in this universe, there is a life named Lady Nu Zhen who possesses a decent treasure called the Reincarnation Path. Within this Reincarnation Path is hidden the Hongmeng Dao Pattern Secret Method. I suspect her Reincarnation Path is a replica left behind by the Hongmeng Dao Pattern," Jiao Jian analyzed.

This analysis was easy to make.

The true Reincarnation Path is within the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, so naturally, it cannot appear in a seed universe.

Therefore, the Reincarnation Path in the hands of the life called Lady Nu Zhen can only be a replica. Jiao Jian heard that the Reincarnation Path of Lady Nu Zhen was given to her by an outsider once named Ancestor Hong Jun.

The connections fit. Moreover, Palace Master Jing Yan had also been inside the Reincarnation Path treasure held by Lady Nu Zhen.

Jiao Jian was more than ninety percent sure that the Hongmeng Dao Pattern Secret Method was hidden within the Reincarnation Path owned by Lady Nu Zhen.

"Very well, you’ve done a good job on this,"

"Jiao Jian, try your best to obtain that Reincarnation Path from Lady Nu Zhen; you can exchange other treasures with her. Paying a higher price is acceptable. If you accomplish this, I will generously reward you, perhaps even promote you to a core member," Kong Ying said with a tone of evident delight.

Just moments ago, he scolded Jiao Jian for killing Duanmu Supreme, but now he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

"Thank you, Master Kong Ying," Jiao Jian said joyfully.

"But, if Lady Nu Zhen refuses to exchange the Reincarnation Path, what should I do?" Jiao Jian asked.

"Refuse?"

"Find a way! If all else fails, then force it. Jiao Jian, try to control yourself and spare Lady Nu Zhen’s life if possible. You know, in the endless chaos now, Jing Yan is at the peak of his power. Even our Mountain Master at the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain is quite wary of him. I do not wish to become his enemy unless absolutely necessary," Kong Ying said.

"I understand, Master Kong Ying. Rest assured, I won’t kill Lady Nu Zhen unless absolutely necessary. But if she pushes too far, I will prioritize acquiring her Reincarnation Path," Jiao Jian said.

"Alright, do as you see fit," Kong Ying replied.

Kong Ying was a Vice Mountain Master of the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, a powerful being close to the Title Controller. Jiao Jian was his subordinate and a member of the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain.

"Hahaha..."

After ending the communication with Kong Ying, Jiao Jian laughed wildly.

"Finally... finally, I can loosen my restraining hand a bit! Heh, with Master Kong Ying above me, what does it matter if I kill a few lives at the Taoist Realm? As long as I don’t kill those human indigenous beings in this universe, would Jing Yan really turn against the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain?"

Jiao Jian’s face was full of joy.

For a while, he felt very frustrated. Although these natives were weak, he could not kill them at will. Even when encountering some valuable treasures, he sometimes had to hold back from seizing them.

But now, his burden was much lighter. Even if Palace Master Jing Yan was angry, wasn’t Master Kong Ying a shield above him?
