The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1884: Come at Me Together

Recently, the members of the Nuwa Divine Palace have indeed felt quite stifled.

Although other Divine Hall members mainly target Jing Yan, Jing Yan belongs to the Nuwa Divine Palace and is the only Heavenly Palace Core Disciple within it, making him everyone’s senior brother.

Everyone followed Jing Yan and left the Nuwa Divine Palace.

Outside... there were indeed a lot of people.

Many had even set up stone tables and stone benches, taking out drinks and food, eating and chatting there.

When these people saw a large group of figures emerging from the Nuwa Divine Palace, their eyes focused over, quickly locking onto Jing Yan.

Most of the people outside had never seen Jing Yan in person, but that didn’t stop them from identifying him. The few Heavenly Palace Inner Sect Disciples of the Nuwa Divine Palace were all walking behind Jing Yan, making his identity obvious.

"I am Jing Yan! I heard some people want to meet me, who are they?" Jing Yan stopped, his eyes slightly narrowed, hands behind his back, and asked aloud.

"Haha, Senior Brother Jing Yan! You are our new Core Disciple in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, and we all admire you greatly. So, we specifically came to the Nuwa Divine Palace to seek a meeting. It’s just so difficult to see Senior Brother. We can only come by every day and hope to catch a glimpse of Senior Brother Jing Yan if luck allows." An Inner Sect Disciple said with a sarcastic tone.

Although he addressed Jing Yan as Senior Brother, his demeanor and tone lacked any respect.

"Senior Brother, this is Senior Brother Feng Chi, a Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm Cultivator. Among all the Taoist Realm Disciples in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, his strength ranks among the top." Taiyi introduced softly beside Jing Yan.

The Hongjun Heavenly Palace is one of the Ultimate Forces.

Even a Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm from the Outer Sect has formidable combat power, much stronger than other Fifth-Step Dao Method Realms outside. This Feng Chi, who was promoted to Inner Sect Disciple with his Dao Method Realm, clearly shows he is not ordinary, a Martial Artist with some strength.

"Senior Brother Feng Chi is right. It’s really difficult to meet Senior Brother Jing Yan. It feels harder than seeing the Chaos Hall Master." Another person remarked.

"Senior Brother, this is Senior Brother Mandala. He was previously quite strong in the Dao Method Realm, but it’s said he recently succeeded in breaking through to the All Things Realm. He is a member of the Niao Cheng Divine Palace, and they held a celebratory banquet when he broke through the All Things Realm. His combat power was terrifying in the Dao Method Realm, and now stepping into the All Things Realm, it’s just..." Taiyi continued to introduce in a low voice to Jing Yan.

"Senior Brothers Mandala and Feng Chi, Senior Brother Jing Yan is a Core Disciple, and we’re merely Inner Sect Disciples. Is it not normal for Senior Brother Jing Yan not to meet us?" A female Life in a green long skirt said coquettishly.

"Indeed! Core Disciple... a Core Disciple!"

"Our whole Hongjun Heavenly Palace currently has only fourteen Core Disciples."

"The status of Core Disciples is prestigious. It’s not like Inner or Outer Disciples like us can just meet them as we wish." Some resentful voices chimed in.

They simply dismiss Jing Yan, believing he doesn’t deserve to be a Core Disciple.

If any other Core Disciple stood before them, they wouldn’t dare speak in such a tone. Not to mention the Core Disciples in the All Things Realm, even Qing Lian, the Dao Method Realm Core Disciple, they could only look up to.

But to Jing Yan, they don’t genuinely respect him. Though they call him ’Senior Brother’ on the surface, who knows what they truly think. Many surely mock Jing Yan as useless in their hearts.

"Fellow Junior Brothers and Sisters!"

Jing Yan spoke up.

"The reason I haven’t come out to see you in a while isn’t that I was arrogant due to my status. I’ve been in the Nuwa Divine Palace Secret Technique Room, studying Secret Techniques, so I truly didn’t have much time."

"Please understand." Jing Yan said slowly.

"Hehe..."

The crowd murmured disdainfully, most eyes showing contempt.

"Well, now that I’ve met you all, you now recognize me. If there’s nothing else, disperse. Your gathering outside the Nuwa Divine Palace again isn’t quite appropriate." Jing Yan continued.

"Senior Brother Jing Yan, as a Core Disciple, your strength must be exceptionally strong, right? I, Feng Chi, have cultivated for millions of years and reached the Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm, with some insights into cultivation. May I spar with Senior Brother?" Feng Chi stared at Jing Yan and asked.

Jing Yan also looked at Feng Chi.

"You want to spar with me?" Jing Yan asked.

"That’s right! Since Senior Brother Jing Yan is at the Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm, and I am also at the Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm. If Senior Brother is willing to spar, the Heavenly Palace allows it." Feng Chi nodded and continued, "Senior Brother wouldn’t look down on sparing with me, right?"

"Sparring, that can be done." Jing Yan pondered.

"It’s just that your strength might be relatively weak compared to me, and the gap is too large. Even sparring wouldn’t mean much." Jing Yan slightly shook his head.

"What did you say?"

"Hmph, Senior Brother Jing Yan, are you insulting me? Hmph, even facing Senior Brother Qing Lian, I can contend for a bit!" Feng Chi’s face instantly darkened.

Qing Lian, this Core Disciple, is acknowledged as the top Dao Method Realm expert in the Heavenly Palace.

Yet Jing Yan said there’s a vast strength gap between them! Feng Chi, having been in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace for millions of years, continually progressing in strength, is now a leader among Inner Sect Disciples. Although still in the Dao Method Realm, even Inner Sect Disciples in the All Things Realm should give him some face.

"You misunderstand, it’s not an insult. I’m stating a fact. Earlier, I heard some rumors that many Junior Brothers and Sisters want to spar with me. So, those who do, please step out and show me." Jing Yan’s gaze swept from Feng Chi to the crowd.

"Hehe, I also want to spar with Senior Brother Jing Yan."

"If I could, I wish to learn from Senior Brother Jing Yan."

In a short time, over ten Heavenly Palace Disciples stepped out, wanting to challenge Jing Yan, surprisingly including one Outer Disciple.

"Is there anyone else?" Jing Yan asked again. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

No new challengers appeared. The over ten people wanting to challenge Jing Yan stared at him.

"Alright, to save time, all Junior Brothers and Sisters should come at once." Jing Yan nodded, looking at Feng Chi and the over ten Fifth-Step Dao Method Realm challengers opposite him.

"Huh?"

"What?"

"All of us?"

The crowd clearly hadn’t expected Jing Yan to have them all come at once. When Jing Yan asked who wanted to spar, they thought he wanted to pick someone relatively weaker to duel.
