The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2272: Chapter 2272: Did They Summon a Monster?

Kui Xiang gritted his teeth, desperately trying to get up from the ground.

After struggling for a while, his face flushed, and he gasped heavily. Once he calmed down a bit, he realized that his strength was not on the same level as Jing Yan’s. But what puzzled him even more was why Jing Yan, who was also in the Immortal Charm Realm, was so powerful.

He had fought with an expert in the Immortal Venerable Realm before, and the pressure from that Immortal Venerable expert was not as intense as Jing Yan’s.

Those spectators nearby had already closed their mouths, unable to say a word.

Previously, some had said Jing Yan couldn’t withstand three moves from Kui Xiang, and some said he couldn’t withstand even one move from Kui Xiang. But the result was that Kui Xiang couldn’t withstand even one move from Jing Yan. It wasn’t just a matter of being unable to defend; it was simply a case of having no power to resist. Kui Xiang attacked first; if he hadn’t, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to attack at all.

"Can anyone explain what’s going on here?"

"Isn’t that Jing Yan just in the Immortal Charm Realm?"

"He must be in the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm; Uncle Hai couldn’t have made a mistake."

"How can someone in the Immortal Charm Realm be so strong? Kui Xiang is the strongest at the Immortal Rhythm Level in Iron Bay, but in front of this Jing Yan, yet..."

"Could it be... that our Lady Bing Li summoned a monster from the Nine Days of Immortal Domain?" someone whispered in a terrified tone.

"Kui Xiang, do you admit defeat?" Jing Yan questioned again.

He didn’t intend to kill Kui Xiang.

Kui Xiang had blocked him here and even attacked him, but Kui Xiang did not show any intent to kill. Therefore, Jing Yan wouldn’t have murderous intentions towards Kui Xiang either.

But he had to make Kui Xiang concede defeat.

Jing Yan certainly sensed the hostility from the Bai Family members towards him. Initially, Jing Yan wasn’t sure why, but Kui Xiang’s appearance made him understand that it was all because of the Martial Hidden Order. In the Bai Family, obtaining the Martial Hidden Order should be difficult, so many were envious of him for having obtained it.

Since they were envious, thinking he wasn’t qualified to enter the Martial Storage Tower, now showcasing strength to establish authority was naturally most fitting, preventing them from speaking ill behind his back and even involving Bai Bingli.

"I... admit!" Kui Xiang said with difficulty.

Under that terrifying power, he found it hard to speak; he struggled desperately to break free, all to no avail. If he didn’t admit defeat, he might lie here for a long time.

"Hmph!" Jing Yan snorted softly and withdrew his power.

Then he turned his gaze, swept a glance at those Bai Family members nearby, and they all shivered slightly, instinctively lowering their heads.

Afterward, Jing Yan stepped into the Martial Storage Tower.

As soon as he entered, Jing Yan saw an elder in a brown robe standing in front of him. This person was the guardian of the Martial Storage Tower, also an expert in the Immortal Venerable Realm.

The elder was smiling as he looked at Jing Yan.

"Give me the Martial Hidden Order," the elder said to Jing Yan.

"Yes!" Jing Yan handed over the Martial Hidden Order.

A single Martial Hidden Order can only allow entry into the Martial Storage Tower once. After entering, it must be handed to the guardian of the Martial Storage Tower.

"On the First Layer of the Martial Storage Tower, you may freely read the classics. You can choose three types of Cultivation from ordinary classics. For Soul Technique Books, you can only choose one Cultivation. Also, remember that your maximum time in the Martial Storage Tower must not exceed seven days. Before leaving the tower, even if you haven’t cultivated any classics, you cannot take them out."

"Do you understand?" the elder asked Jing Yan.

"Understood," Jing Yan replied.

Seven days is more than enough time. Entering the Martial Storage Tower is only for cultivating spells, not mastering them. Cultivating spells is merely absorbing the Divine Soul Energy within the classics, which can be practiced and mastered slowly after leaving. Seven days is just the time to choose the classics. For others, this might be a little short to choose the Magic Treasure classics, but Jing Yan will only choose Soul Techniques; he doesn’t need to spend time looking through other ordinary classics. Besides, there aren’t many types of Soul Techniques in this Martial Storage Tower, and it’s easy to go through them all.

"Hmm, now you may peruse the classics at your own pace," the elder nodded to Jing Yan.

"May I ask where the Soul Technique Books are located?" Jing Yan asked.

There are a vast number of classics here; directly asking where the Soul Technique Books are located can save time searching.

The elder smiled slightly and pointed Jing Yan in a direction. Jing Yan thanked him, then quickly walked over.

The elder watched Jing Yan’s back, and a light flashed gently in his eyes.

He knew quite clearly what happened outside the Martial Storage Tower. When Jing Yan defeated Kui Xiang in one move, he was also quite shocked; he hadn’t anticipated Jing Yan’s strength to be this formidable.

"That cultivator summoned by Bing Li is indeed unusual! His strength is comparable to some Immortal Venerables. The spell he used to defeat Kui Xiang is a space-type Immortal Venerable Level Technique, incredibly domineering in power. To be able to fully master a technique of this level at his age is indeed rare," the elder pondered in his heart.

Outside the Martial Storage Tower.

After Jing Yan withdrew his power, Kui Xiang got up from the ground. He looked at Jing Yan entering the tower, his eyes still filled with disbelief. He couldn’t even understand what had just happened, lying there without knowing why.

"Brother Kui Xiang, what... exactly happened earlier?" someone familiar with Kui Xiang asked as he approached.

"I don’t know either," Kui Xiang replied truthfully.

"Brother Kui Xiang’s strength is already top-notch among Immortal Rhythm Cultivators, yet Jing Yan is also in the Immortal Charm Realm, but..." the person frowned.

"Don’t ask me; I really don’t know. Anyway, that Jing Yan is terrifying, more terrifying than some Immortal Venerables. You guys, be sure not to provoke him in the future," Kui Xiang said as he quickly turned and left.

Today, he lost face completely, being slapped down by Jing Yan in front of so many people, unable to get up, and even had to admit defeat. Where could he put that old face?

In Uncle Hai’s courtyard.

Uncle Hai’s expression suddenly shifted slightly as he took out a Communication Magical Treasure to check it. Subsequently, his face turned a bit peculiar.

The elder sitting opposite noticed Uncle Hai’s expression and showed a faint smile.

"Brother Hai, is it about the Martial Storage Tower?" the elder asked.

"Yes!" Uncle Hai nodded.

"Now Brother Hai can rest assured, right? Kui Xiang didn’t intend to harm that Jing Yan youngster; he knows that Jing Yan is a cultivator summoned by that girl Bing Li," the elder said with a laugh.

Uncle Hai looked at the elder opposite him, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

Indeed, the conflict between Kui Xiang and Jing Yan was over, but the outcome was not as expected at all. At this moment, Uncle Hai was also pondering. Could he have misjudged? But then he dismissed this thought; using special spells to examine Jing Yan’s realm, he certainly couldn’t have made a mistake, and Jing Yan also admitted he was in the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm.
