The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2374: Chapter 2374: Impossible to Answer

The Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet’s anomaly caused a widespread ripple in every Heavenly Domain of the Mixed Element Immortal Domain.

In every Heavenly Domain, many cultivators witnessed the earth-shaking golden light firsthand.

Immortal Venerables with long-standing reputations in the Heavenly Domains know what it means when golden light bursts forth from the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet. Every time a new Immortal Venerable ascends the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet, golden light always shoots up into the sky.

At this moment, the golden light bursting from the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet has disappeared. The cultivators who came to the Immortal Venerable Tower Square are fixated on the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet, hoping to see a new name appear on it. However, they soon find out that the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet hasn’t changed compared to before, as the ten names on the tablet remain the same ten Immortal Venerables as before.

Even the Immortal Venerable Silver Tablet doesn’t have any new names appearing.

"What is going on? Isn’t a new Immortal Venerable supposed to ascend the Golden Tablet with its anomaly? Why is there no change now?" One Immortal Venerable turned to look at others around him, asking in a perplexed tone.

Everyone shook their heads.

It seems no one knows what’s going on, even the oldest Immortal Venerables in each Heavenly Domain don’t know what’s happening, for they haven’t encountered such an event in their entire lives.

In each Heavenly Domain’s Immortal Venerable Square, numerous cultivators debated for a long time and then gradually dispersed, because no one could provide a clear answer, and the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet returned to a state of calm, as if the astonishing golden light had appeared without any significance.

Faro Heaven Immortal Venerable Tower Square.

"Dear seniors and fellow Daoists, I have already received the Immortal Venerable Seal within the Immortal Venerable Tower. Whether my name appears on the Immortal Venerable Stele or not makes no difference to me." Jing Yan said aloud.

"Given our capabilities, we indeed cannot ascertain where the problem lies. Immortal Venerable Jing Yan, it’s good that you’ve obtained the Immortal Venerable Seal. Whether your name appears on the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet or not truly does not impact your own strength." Yangshan Master nodded in agreement.

"Alas, it’s just... Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s name hasn’t appeared on the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet, thus others from different Heavenly Domains won’t recognize that Faro Heaven has produced a Golden Tablet-ranked Immortal Venerable!" Wu Guo Heavenly Lord felt somewhat aggrieved, disappointed yet unable to do anything about it.

Jing Yan smiled and shook his head.

At the square, after conversing with the Old Immortal Venerables for a while, Jing Yan bid farewell and left. He still had matters on his mind; his name not appearing on the Immortal Venerable Stele didn’t affect him much, but he still hadn’t figured out the attribute of his Unrivaled Seal, naturally wanting to return quickly for thorough research.

After Jing Yan left, Yangshan Master and others also gradually departed. Jing Yan’s name failing to ascend the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet left Yangshan Master, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord, and others a bit helpless, though some rejoiced in his plight. Indeed, even in Faro Heaven now, there are quite a few who harbor animosity towards Jing Yan.

Especially those cultivators friendly with Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, because Jing Yan’s strength was overwhelmingly powerful, they dared not outright provoke Jing Yan, but secretly hoped for his misfortune.

"At first, I really thought that kid could ascend the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet. Now it seems, he’s just average." A friend of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable spoke with a mocking tone.

"Not to mention the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet, even his name isn’t on the Immortal Venerable Silver Tablet. I wonder if he even obtained the Immortal Venerable Seal?" Another cultivator spoke maliciously.

"That might not be impossible, but we’re hard-pressed to verify it. Even if he hasn’t obtained the Immortal Venerable Seal, his combat power is still beyond what we can contend with." A bald Immortal Venerable shook his head.

"Alas, it’s temporarily impossible to avenge Brother Huo Yun. However, rumors have it that once an Immortal Emperor from outside the Heavenly Domain attempted to kill this kid. This kid’s fortune was great, as he managed to withstand the Immortal Emperor’s strike, but next time, he might not be so lucky. In my view, this kid won’t be able to go on for much longer." An old man in black robes laughed coldly.

"Since that Immortal Emperor had already made a move, it means he developed a killing intent against Jing Yan. Jing Yan not being killed, that Immortal Emperor will surely strike again." An Immortal Venerable who appears relatively young smirked.

"Damn Mystic Moon Trading House! This group of bastards is determined to be in cahoots with that kid. When Jing Yan is killed, we band together to destroy Mystic Moon Trading House!"

"Alright, that’s the plan! Now, we’ll wait patiently for the moment Jing Yan the scoundrel meets his demise."

These friends of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable secretly reached a consensus, which was to launch an annihilation campaign against Mystic Moon Trading House once Jing Yan was killed by the Immortal Emperor.

...

Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters.

Jing Yan sat cross-legged in a secluded chamber, his Divine Thought observing the black-and-white Unrivaled Seal within his Divine Sea. Since returning from the Immortal Venerable Tower Square, several days have passed; during this period, he’s been researching the Unrivaled Seal, trying to determine its exact attribute. But after several days, he still couldn’t ascertain the nature of the Unrivaled Seal’s attribute.

However, there’s one thing that reassures Jing Yan a lot—after obtaining the Unrivaled Seal, his perception in Thunder Attribute Dao Technique, Space-Time Attribute Dao Technique, and Five Elements Attribute Dao Technique has significantly improved. Even without using Netherworld Crystal Stone, his speed in comprehending Heaven and Earth Laws is extremely fast. Furthermore, the power of various spells he already mastered has seen very noticeable enhancement.

In other words, even if the Unrivaled Seal is a mixed attribute seal, it is not comparable to those low-grade, insignificant Immortal Venerable Seals.

"Enough, since I can’t figure it out, let’s leave it be for now." Jing Yan decided not to waste any more time researching the attributes of the Unrivaled Seal, believing the time would be better spent understanding more Dao Techniques.

What Jing Yan wasn’t aware of was that at the moment, near the Mystical Waterfall in the Starry Sky World, a figure stood, hands behind his back, gazing at the mysteriously enigmatic golden waterfall.

"A little fellow obtained the Unrivaled Seal..." this person murmured quietly.

"Haha, I once thought the Unrivaled Seal would never be obtained by those Immortal Venerables. Let me see... hmm, this little fellow’s name is Jing Yan, quite interesting. He’s not originally from the Heavenly Domain but hails from a Chaos World." the figure spoke slowly.

"Brother Quan Chen, what do you think of that little fellow named Jing Yan?" Another figure suddenly appeared beside the former, speaking with a smile.

"It’s too early to form an opinion, after all... still just a mortal! But I can say, the aptitude is quite impressive." the earlier figure looked at the newcomer, speaking in a flat tone.

"Brother Quan Chen, for you to commend his aptitude as impressive is quite remarkable. Even those who have already become immortal never received such praise from you, Brother Quan Chen." the later figure continued with a smile.
