The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2083: Farewell, Wei Zhen

Yihua Palace Master quickly accepted the fact that Jing Yan Daoist had not perished, happily inviting Jing Yan to sit down.

Previously, she was surprised that someone could silently enter her closed-door cultivation area, but upon knowing that it was Jing Yan, she was relieved. Although she sensed that Jing Yan’s realm was only at the Taoist Realm level, in her subconscious, she recognized that Jing Yan’s abilities were beyond what she could currently perceive.

"Palace Master Yihua, I’m here to ask you if you still intend to enter the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone." After Jing Yan sat down, he didn’t waste any time and asked directly.

Before the great catastrophe, Jing Yan had promised Yihua Palace Master that he would accompany her into the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone. Now, it was time to fulfill that promise. Furthermore, Jing Yan was also somewhat curious about the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone.

Within this chaos, whether it was dangerous places like Fangcun Mountain or hidden spaces, Jing Yan’s Divine Thought could easily penetrate them. However, the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone was somewhat obscure.

Jing Yan’s Divine Thought could enter the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone, but there were areas that remained unclear to him. Jing Yan felt that this Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone might indeed have some connection to the situations beyond chaos.

In those years, after Emperor Donghuang entered the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone, he disappeared shortly thereafter, leaving only a handwritten note. The information recorded in this note was very vague, and even Yihua Palace Master couldn’t be sure whether Emperor Donghuang was still alive.

In fact, Jing Yan also contemplated venturing beyond chaos. In this chaos, he was unable to further cultivate and elevate his realm. If he didn’t leave chaos, his realm might forever remain at the Taoist Realm. Inside chaos, he was invincible, but he wanted to avenge Luo Dejie—even with his Taoist Realm strength, that seemed like a joke.

Beyond chaos, not to mention Luo Dejie, even the beings of the All Things Realm could potentially kill Jing Yan.

Hearing Jing Yan’s question, Yihua Palace Master was instantly overjoyed.

Ever since Emperor Donghuang disappeared, Yihua Palace Master had been constantly thinking about entering the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone.

"Lord Taoist, when shall we set off?" Yihua Palace Master couldn’t help but stand up.

She was eager to set off immediately for the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone.

"If you are ready, we can leave anytime," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"I don’t have much to prepare, just need to briefly explain some matters of the Luoshui Divine Palace," Yihua Palace Master said with shining eyes.

"Alright, then you explain things below, and then let’s head to the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone together," Jing Yan nodded.

About ten breaths later, Yihua Palace Master said she was ready.

"Before heading to the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone, I have some matters that might delay us a little," Jing Yan added.

"No problem!" Yihua Palace Master immediately responded.

Jing Yan nodded again, then gently waved his arm in the space, and soon his and Yihua Palace Master’s figures disappeared from the heavily guarded secret chamber of the Luoshui Divine Palace.

The next moment, Jing Yan took Yihua Palace Master to the space where the Ancient Tree Spirits resided.

After the battle of the great catastrophe, the Ancient Tree Spirits suffered heavy losses, and their Ancient Tree Space was completely obliterated. After the war, the Ancient Tree Spirits found a hidden space to live in seclusion.

Jing Yan’s arrival naturally filled the Ancient Tree Spirits with immense joy.

Now, only about one hundred Ancient Tree Spirits were still alive.

In this hidden space, Jing Yan erected monuments for the Ancient Vine Elder and many Ancient Tree Spirits one by one.

"I, Jing Yan, will one day avenge you!" Jing Yan softly vowed in front of the numerous Ancient Tree Spirit monuments.

After leaving the space where the Ancient Tree Spirits lived in seclusion, Jing Yan took Yihua Palace Master to a place at the edge of chaos.

There was a simple courtyard here. Inside the courtyard lived a Chaos Creature. This Chaos Creature was none other than the Title Controller Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen had been living here for a long time, and he knew that Jing Yan had perished in the great catastrophe, yet he had not left.

Wei Zhen once held great enmity towards Jing Yan and had long sought vengeance, but after the great catastrophe, hearing that Jing Yan had sacrificed himself to restore chaos, his enmity towards Jing Yan had dissipated. If not for Jing Yan Daoist, this chaos would have completely collapsed, and even as a Title Controller, he might not have survived.

Because of this, after Jing Yan’s death, Wei Zhen did not leave, nor did he seek revenge against those close to Jing Yan.

"Swish!" Jing Yan and Yihua Palace Master quietly descended.

Wei Zhen was meditating, and suddenly felt a breeze on his face. He opened his eyes in astonishment and saw Jing Yan and Yihua Palace Master. Upon seeing Jing Yan, he jumped up and his entire body tensed, waves of shock surging in his heart.

"Isn’t Jing Yan dead? Isn’t he dead? How... how is he appearing again?" Wei Zhen looked at Jing Yan with a gaze full of shock.

Besides the shock, his mind had the impulse to flee immediately. But he quickly realized that in front of Jing Yan, he seemed to have no chance to escape.

"Wei Zhen!" Jing Yan looked at Wei Zhen expressionlessly.

"Jing Yan... Daoist!" Wei Zhen looked at Jing Yan with a complicated expression.

"I’m not dead, I’m still alive. Do you still wish to take revenge on me?" Jing Yan asked.

Wei Zhen shook his head.

Revenge? What a joke? He was just an ordinary Title Controller. Even if he broke through and progressed to the Second Rank Title Controller level, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Jing Yan Daoist. Moreover, he no longer harbored any enmity towards Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s Divine Thought swept over Wei Zhen, then he nodded.

Jing Yan could feel that Wei Zhen indeed no longer bore enmity towards him.

This time Jing Yan came to find Wei Zhen, not to kill him. Within the Endless Chaos, there weren’t many Title Controllers left. Jing Yan didn’t want to create more slaughter within chaos.

Of course, if Wei Zhen were still very hateful towards him, Jing Yan, for the safety of those around him, would have no choice but to kill Wei Zhen. But now it seemed unnecessary to act against Wei Zhen.

With Jing Yan’s current abilities, Wei Zhen couldn’t hide his enmity even if he tried his best to conceal it—he couldn’t escape Jing Yan’s eyes. After confirming that Wei Zhen indeed had no intention of revenge, Jing Yan’s countenance returned to normal.

"Keep cultivating diligently!" Jing Yan said to Wei Zhen, then vanished with Yihua Palace Master.

Jing Yan came fast and left quickly.

After the two disappeared, Wei Zhen turned around to look, confirming that Jing Yan had indeed left, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, he thought he was going to be killed today, but he didn’t expect Jing Yan Daoist wouldn’t act against him.

Wei Zhen cupped his hands towards the void, then sat down again in his original position.

"Huh?" Wei Zhen closed his eyes and felt a slight movement in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to have gained some new insight in his cultivation.
