Chapter 2224: Chapter 2224: Dividing the Netherworld Crystal Stones
The Xin Family, Ancient Land of Morning Light, and Shadow Tower all had decent gains during this opening of the Yellow Spring Cave. Shadow Tower even obtained half of a small Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein. Without counting the gains of Xin Ruikun and Shao Yu, the Xin Family can also obtain twenty percent of the Netherworld Crystal Stones that Jing Yan has. The gains of the Ancient Land of Morning Light were less, but War God Li Feng is a magnanimous person and will not be troubled by the meager harvest of the two people from the Ancient Land entering the Yellow Spring Cave.
Out of the Four Great Forces, only the Mystic Moon Trading House came back empty-handed. Not only did they gain no Netherworld Crystal Stones, even Lu Chun, who entered the Yellow Spring Cave, was killed by Jing Yan. At this time, Inspector Ao Hong was staring fiercely at Jing Yan with cold eyes, undoubtedly having cursed him countless times in his heart.
Jing Yan courteously returned the salutations to Xin Si and the others.
“Jing Yan, let’s go somewhere else to talk,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable said upon his return.
“Alright,” Jing Yan replied.
The Yellow Spring Cave had closed, and it was time to distribute the Netherworld Crystal Stones.
“Clan Chief Xin Si, you come along too,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable added.
“Alright, I’m coming,” Clan Chief Xin Si responded with a broad smile.
Just as Yuantong Immortal Venerable was about to take a step, he seemed to remember something and turned his gaze toward Wuxia Heavenly Monarch amidst the crowd, saying, “Wuxia, you’ve been worried about Jing Yan all this time, and surely have much to say to him. You come along as well.”
Wuxia Heavenly Monarch was straightforward by nature, initially wanting to ask questions beside Jing Yan, but due to the presence of Xin Si and others around Jing Yan, her status seemed slightly inferior to them.
Upon hearing Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s words, Wuxia Heavenly Monarch swiftly stepped forward.
“It seems the rumors are true!”
“Indeed, didn’t you see how Clan Chief Xin Si, War God Li Feng, and Gong Zhi Buddha were all so courteous to Jing Yan?”
“And indeed, Lu Chun from the Mystic Moon Trading House did not come out of the Yellow Spring Cave.”
“It’s unimaginable that Jing Yan could actually defeat the Black River Heavenly Monarch. Did he really advance from the Nether Sky Realm to the Immortal Rhythm Level inside the Yellow Spring Cave?”
Many Heavenly Monarchs of the Divine Continent were whispering among themselves.
They, unlike the leaders of the Four Great Forces, could not see through the eyes of their members inside the Yellow Spring Cave, but they had heard some rumors. However, these rumors were so incredible that they found them hard to believe, or at least not entirely believe.
Now, seeing the attitude of the leaders of the Four Great Forces towards Jing Yan, coupled with the fact that Lu Chun indeed did not return from the Yellow Spring Cave, they believed them about eighty percent.
“Jing Yan is now considered the number one strong man at the Immortal Rhythm level, isn’t he?” a Heavenly Monarch sighed.
“Yes, even the Black River Heavenly Monarch was no match for him. Among other Immortal Rhythm Cultivators, who could possibly compare? At least in Faro Heaven, you wouldn’t find such an Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivator,” another Heavenly Monarch shook his head, full of emotion.
“Wuxia Heavenly Monarch benefits as well.”
“Indeed, even Yuantong Immortal Venerable invited Wuxia Heavenly Monarch over, and they’re talking together now.”
“Alas, we should have gotten closer to Jing Yan before he stepped into the Immortal Rhythm,” someone lamented with regret.
“Heh, you’ve only seen Jing Yan’s glory, and haven’t considered the attitude of the Mystic Moon Trading House. Didn’t you see the murderous look on Inspector Ao Hong’s face just now?” someone sneered.
“Indeed, Jing Yan killed Lu Chun, and the Mystic Moon Trading House won’t let this go easily. Given the strength of Inspector Ao Hong and others, they aren’t a match for Jing Yan. However, the Mystic Moon Trading House is an Immortal Domain Level force! Inspector Ao Hong probably already communicated with headquarters. Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters will certainly send Immortal Venerable experts, perhaps more than one. By then, even Yuantong Immortal Venerable might find it hard to help Jing Yan.”
“Just wait, we’ll see more drama soon enough.”
Among the dozens of Divine Continent Heavenly Monarchs present, many were jealous of Jing Yan’s fortune and wanted to see him disciplined by the Mystic Moon Trading House.
…
Residence of Yuantong Immortal Venerable.
Yuantong Immortal Venerable, Jing Yan, Clan Chief Xin Si, and Wuxia Heavenly Monarch all arrived here.
“Jing Yan, you’re really… incredible! Even the Black River Heavenly Monarch was no match for you! Who is the Black River Heavenly Monarch? Though he’s at the Immortal Charm Realm, in Faro Heaven, who dares to truly see him as merely an Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivator?” Yuantong Immortal Venerable spoke, looking at Jing Yan.
“Hehe, after this battle, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s reputation will surely spread across Faro Heaven,” Clan Chief Xin Si said with a smile.
Jing Yan chuckled lightly, not having much to say about it.
“Jing Yan, did you truly defeat the Black River Heavenly Monarch inside the Yellow Spring Cave?” Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s beautiful eyes gazed at Jing Yan.
Wuxia Heavenly Monarch had indeed been quite worried about Jing Yan during this time.
“I wouldn’t say defeated! With my current strength, I cannot kill the Black River Heavenly Monarch. The Black River Heavenly Monarch voluntarily withdrew, probably mainly because he saw no chance to kill me,” Jing Yan answered Wuxia Heavenly Monarch.
“The encounter between you and the Black River Heavenly Monarch, Clan Chief Xin Si and I both witnessed it. The Black River Heavenly Monarch was injured at your hands,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable shook his head and said, “If he continued to entangle with you, his injuries would only worsen. Had he not fled, you indeed might have been able to kill him.”
“Exactly!” Clan Chief Xin Si nodded repeatedly.
Jing Yan shook his head gently and then said, “I did fairly well inside the Yellow Spring Cave and obtained quite a lot of Netherworld Crystal Stones. Immortal Venerable, Clan Chief Xin Si, let’s first divide the Netherworld Crystal Stones.”
“As per agreement, I need to give Clan Chief Xin Si twenty percent of the Netherworld Crystal Stones, and another twenty percent to Immortal Venerable. As for the Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein, I haven’t mined it in advance, so I’ll just divide it by proportion, shall I?” Jing Yan looked at the two of them.
If Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Clan Chief Xin Si requested to mine the vein and then divide the extracted Netherworld Crystal Stones, Jing Yan wouldn’t object.
“We’ll do as you say,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable waved his hand.
Clan Chief Xin Si, naturally, also had no objections.
Their attitude undoubtedly wanted to show their trust in Jing Yan. This is closely related to the strength Jing Yan displayed. If Jing Yan still were that Nether Sky Realm level cultivator, Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Clan Chief Xin Si would surely request to jointly mine the vein entirely and then divide it.
Jing Yan first brought out the large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein, and a vein descended heavily upon the great hall’s floor.
The large Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein was massive, yet this great hall was spacious enough to accommodate such a large vein.
Even Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this large vein, and Clan Chief Xin Si practically broke into a grin. Even though he could only get twenty percent of it, it was enough to make the Xin Family prosperous in the coming years. It’s hoped that with these twenty percent, the Xin Family can make a leap in strength. Clan Chief Xin Si was somewhat thankful he agreed to give Jing Yan a spot back then; otherwise, the Xin Family might not get such a large quantity of Netherworld Crystal Stones.
Jing Yan took out the Ice Flame Sword, Divine Power surged, and with a swing of his arm, sword light cleaved out. With one strike, the vein was split open. Jing Yan slashed twice, cutting out portions of twenty percent each, according to the entire vein’s proportion.
