"Fellow Daoist, this Xuanqing Spirit Body was indeed discovered by first. However, I couldn’t capture it. If you hadn’t happened to be here to capture it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to catch up with it. The Xuanqing Spirit Body is too fast, and even so Main God strong people are powerless in terms of speed in the Endless Void."
"So, since you happened to capture it, it naturally belongs to you." The Martial Artist opposite continued.
Although there was a slightly reluctant expression on his face, this person had no intention of forcefully taking it.
Hearing these words, Jing Yan’s impression of this Martial Artist improved significantly. In this world, where the weak are prey to the strong, reason is usually determined by who has the bigger fist or stronger power.
Jing Yan also sensed that this person had no hostility towards him. If there were any hostility, even if temporarily hidden, Jing Yan would be aware of it.
"You really don’t want this Xuanqing Spirit Body?" Jing Yan shook the Xuanqing Spirit Body he held in his hand.
Jing Yan didn’t particularly need this Low Grade Xuanqing Spirit Body. In his Qiankun Small World, there were as many as twenty-six Mid Grade and Low Grade Xuanqing Spirit Bodies, so having one more or less didn’t make much of a difference.
"Since the Xuanqing Spirit Body was captured by you personally, it naturally belongs to you." The Martial Artist opposite smiled, "May I know your na? My na is Hao Yang."
Hao Yang’s statent that the Xuanqing Spirit Body belonged to Jing Yan was not insincere. Hao Yang, a man of righteousness, had such a prominent background in the Jade Stream Divine Domain that no one could surpass it. Yet, in the Jade Stream Divine Domain, almost no one gossip about him abusing power.
In truth, Hao Yang certainly desired the Xuanqing Spirit Body. But as he said, if Jing Yan were not here, he indeed wouldn’t have caught up with it and would have had to watch helplessly as he lost sight of the Xuanqing Spirit Body.
The reason he was so polite to Jing Yan was also due to another important reason. In Hao Yang’s perception, he found that this person’s cultivation was probably very profound, likely not inferior to his own. Moreover, on the surface, this person seed to co from a deeper part of the void.
To dare to venture deep into the Endless Void alone is not sothing that can be done with re courage. Without sufficient personal strength, just having a heart full of bravery and venturing into the Endless Void—such a person, even if they had nine lives, wouldn’t live long.
After comprehensive consideration, Hao Yang decided it was better to voluntarily yield the Xuanqing Spirit Body. If he could make friends with this seemingly young Martial Artist, it would be a gain.
"I am Yan Jin!" Jing Yan nodded.
"What Daoist Hao Yang said is indeed reasonable. However, without Daoist Hao Yang chasing the Xuanqing Spirit Body, I might also not have discovered this Xuanqing Spirit Body. How about this, since we both have credit for capturing this Xuanqing Spirit Body, we split it in half, what do you say?" Jing Yan pondered aloud.
"That sounds good." Hao Yang quickly nodded.
At the sa ti, Hao Yang considered again that this Fellow Daoist Yan Jin was presumably not from the Jade Stream Divine Domain but from another Divine Domain.
Because after Fellow Daoist Yan Jin heard his na, he didn’t show any expression of surprise. Within the Jade Stream Divine Domain, any well-inford Martial Artist could not possibly have no impression of the na Hao Yang.
Although suspecting Jing Yan’s origin from another Divine Domain, Hao Yang did not ask. Just having t, probing too deeply would surely be an annoying move.
Jing Yan directly used Divine Power to split the sticky Low Grade Xuanqing Spirit Body in half, keeping one half for himself and tossing the other half to Hao Yang.
Hao Yang gladly received half of the Xuanqing Spirit Body.
In the Endless Void, capturing a Xuanqing Spirit Body is indeed too difficult. Even obtaining half of a Low Grade Xuanqing Spirit Body is a delightful gain.
"Does Fellow Daoist Yan Jin plan to continue staying here to capture Xuanqing Spirit Bodies?" After storing half of the Xuanqing Spirit Body, Hao Yang asked again.
"No, I want to enter the Void City of Jade Stream Divine Domain and take a look." Jing Yan shook his head and said.
"That’s just right; I also plan to return. How about we travel together?" Hao Yang suggested with a smile.
He indeed planned to return to the Void City. Even if he hadn’t encountered Jing Yan, he would return in a few days.
"That’s fine." Jing Yan agreed after a brief hesitation.
Being here for the first ti, everything was very unfamiliar to him. Having a local guide would certainly save him a lot of trouble.
As they conversed, they beca more familiar and quickly entered the safe haven area. The two first flew to the nearest transmission point and then transmitted to the necessary Divine Domain’s Void City through the transmission point.
This Void City was more magnificent than the one in the White Sand Divine Domain.
This was normal, as the Jade Stream Divine Domain is an Interdiate Divine Domain, while the White Sand Divine Domain is just a Low-level Divine Domain. The disparity between the two Divine Domains is like night and day.
"Does Fellow Daoist Yan Jin plan to stay in the Void City, or are you planning to enter the Jade Stream Divine Domain?" After exiting the Transmission Array, Hao Yang asked Jing Yan again.
"I’ll go into the Jade Stream Divine Domain." Jing Yan paused before answering.
He really had no specific plan.
To escape the Master of Dead Spirit Mountain, he took the Void Divine Ship from the White Sand Divine Domain, intending to go to the Emperor Extre Divine Domain. Yet unexpectedly, halfway through, Rui An appeared, forcing him to leave the Void Divine Ship halfway to the safe haven of the Jade Stream Divine Domain.
Currently, Jing Yan was also uncertain if he would proceed to the Emperor Extre Divine Domain.
Senior Brother Xiao Ying told him to go to the Emperor Extre Divine Palace in the Emperor Extre Divine Domain to seek refuge. But having offended the High-level Elder Rui An of the Purple Spirit Comrce now, wouldn’t entering the Emperor Extre Divine Domain rashly be like a lamb going into a tiger’s den?
Even if he truly wanted to go to the Emperor Extre Divine Domain, he had to plan thoroughly and proceed gradually.
"Then we’re on the sa path again. I too am returning to the Jade Stream Divine Domain. However, it may take a few days; why doesn’t Fellow Daoist Yan Jin stay with ? I plan to et so friends; perhaps I can introduce you to them." Hao Yang suggested with a smile.
"Alright, then. Thanks for the trouble, Daoist Hao Yang." Jing Yan squinted and nodded.
In the Void City, within a magnificent and luxurious restaurant.
As the servants and others in the restaurant saw Hao Yang and Jing Yan co in from outside, they imdiately welcod them with respectful smiles.
This scene made Jing Yan marvel. These people obviously weren’t saluting him but Hao Yang. From this, it could be seen that Hao Yang’s status was definitely not simple. Such influence in the Void City ant a lot.
The backers behind such a grand restaurant couldn’t be just anybody. Without enough energy, running such a large restaurant here would be impossible.
At the top floor of the restaurant, in a spacious and luxurious room, when Jing Yan and Hao Yang entered, six people were already seated inside.
The room was filled with the aroma of Green Bamboo Wine.
"None of these people are ordinary!" Jing Yan thought to himself.
Green Bamboo Wine, a top-tier beverage in the God Realm, is not sothing an average True God can afford to drink.
Among these six individuals, four n and two won stood up when they saw Jing Yan and another person enter.
"Hao Yang, why did you take so long to co back?"
"Exactly, you said you’d be right back, but we’ve waited for years. We’ve been staying here every day, and although this inn belongs to your family, and we’re staying here under your na without room charges, we’ve spent quite a few Divine Crystals on food and drinks."
"Humph, since you’re back, Hao Yang, you need to compensate for our losses."
The people in the room apparently knew Hao Yang well, so they spoke without reservation.
"Dream on if you want to compensate you! Were those food and drinks consud by ?" Hao Yang rolled his eyes.
But soon, his gaze shifted to the two young female Martial Artists.
"Fairy Hong Jue, Fairy Fu Ying, you’re also here?" Hao Yang seed sowhat surprised by the presence of these two young won.
"I heard Young Master Hao Yang was returning from the Void, so I ca to join in the fun. Surely, Young Master Hao Yang wouldn’t mind?" the woman in green clothes said with a charming smile.
The other woman, dressed in purple, appeared much cooler, simply nodding to Hao Yang without speaking.
"Welco, of course, very welco. You two fairies are noble guests who can’t be easily invited; how could I not greet you warmly?" Hao Yang quickly said with a smile.
At this mont, Jing Yan also found the situation interesting. This inn turned out to be Hao Yang’s family business. What exactly is Hao Yang’s background? Looking at his friends, they are certainly not simple figures, indicating that Hao Yang’s family in the Jade Stream Divine Domain is indeed extraordinary.
"Alright, let’s not dwell on small talk. Let introduce you all."
"This is Fellow Daoist Yan Jin, Brother Yan," Hao Yang motioned with his body to introduce Jing Yan to everyone.
"Brother Yan, this is Zhu Chun, this is Jiao Zhan, this is Liu Yifan, and this is Xiang Chaosong. As for these two fairies, here is Fairy Hong Jue and here is Fairy Fu Ying!" Hao Yang introduced all six people to Jing Yan.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists!" Jing Yan cupped his hands in a salute, smiling warmly.
The six people returned the gesture with cupped hands.
In fact, as soon as Jing Yan entered the room, they had already been quite focused on him. To them, Jing Yan was a complete stranger. They had never seen him before. However, since Jing Yan ca in with Hao Yang, he must be Hao Yang’s friend, so they didn’t rush to inquire.
Now, despite Hao Yang’s simple introduction, they still didn’t know much about Jing Yan. Regardless, even just for Hao Yang’s sake, they couldn’t neglect this person called Yan Jin.
"Everyone, shall we rest here for two or three days, then return together to the Jade Stream Divine Domain?" Hao Yang proposed.
"Naturally, we will listen to you, Hao Yang!"
"Indeed, it’s been more than six hundred years since we ca from the Divine Domain to hunt Fla Demons in the Endless Void, so another two or three days make no difference."
"Haha, since Hao Yang wants us to stay another three days, Hao Yang, you have to spare no expense to treat us well," those familiar with Hao Yang shouted in agreent.
The room now had a total of eight people, who gradually sat down.
These people conversed freely with Hao Yang, lively and warm. But towards Jing Yan, there was a sense of unfamiliarity, one might say he was sowhat neglected. Understandably, this was their first eting with Jing Yan, and they had no clue about his identity or background.
"Everyone, Brother Yan is an impressive individual; I encountered him in the depths of the Void. When I saw him, I was quite startled," Hao Yang said when he noticed Jing Yan being sowhat ignored.
He had a purpose in this.
By ntioning that Jing Yan erged alone from the depths of the Void, he subtly conveyed a ssage that Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Cultivation was formidable, incomparable to an ordinary True God, and they better not treat him lightly.
Sure enough, upon hearing Hao Yang, their expressions changed noticeably.
"Fellow Daoist Yan Jin, are you also competing for a spot to enter the Upper Pure Secret Realm?" asked the woman nad Hong Jue, her beautiful eyes lingering on Jing Yan’s face.
"Upper Pure Secret Realm?" Jing Yan was montarily taken aback.
He had not heard of any Upper Pure Secret Realm, let alone competed for an entry spot.
When Jing Yan’s puzzled tone was heard, the expressions of those present changed once more.
And Hao Yang beca even more certain; Jing Yan was neither a Martial Artist from the Jade Stream Divine Domain nor from any neighboring Divine Domain. Nearby Divine Domain Martial Artists were all fervently eager about the Upper Pure Secret Realm; how could they not know about it?
"Brother Yan may not have competed for a spot to enter the Upper Pure Secret Realm, but with Brother Yan’s strength, if he had registered for the competition hundreds of years earlier, securing a spot would have been no problem at all," Hao Yang said with a smile.
Jing Yan shook his head; he had no understanding of this Upper Pure Secret Realm.
"Haha, it’s quite a pity that a distinguished person like Brother Yan hasn’t competed for this entry spot," laughed the young Martial Artist nad Liu Yifan.
Although this statent seed to praise Jing Yan, it carried a tone that was not entirely pleasant. Especially that "distinguished person like Brother Yan," suggested a hint of sarcasm.
Jing Yan furrowed his brows and glanced at Liu Yifan. He noticed Liu Yifan’s gaze often drifting towards Fairy Fu Ying. It seed this person was interested in her, and his words were likely ant to draw attention and make an impression on Fairy Fu Ying.
However, Fairy Fu Ying’s deanor was cold, and her gaze never landed on Liu Yifan.
Jing Yan’s lips curled slightly.
"To be honest, I co from a very distant Divine Domain and know nothing about the Upper Pure Secret Realm. If you don’t mind, could you tell about it?" Jing Yan asked with a smile.
"So you’re from another Divine Domain, no wonder you don’t know about the Upper Pure Secret Realm. Brother Yan, among several Interdiate Divine Domains nearby, the Upper Pure Secret Realm is known to all! Martial Artists below the Main God Realm go crazy for a spot to enter the Secret Realm, even risking their lives," explained Zhu Chun.
"Indeed! But unfortunately, it will open in just eight years, so if anyone competes now, it would be too late," Jiao Zhan said, shaking his head.
