The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 116 - 116 116 Separation

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Separation Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Separation Jing Yan said he was at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm, but Gao Feng and the others found it hard to believe.

Martial Artists of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm were nothing new to Gao Feng and his companions, yet they never imagined that the strength of a Martial Artist at this level could be so formidable.

Of course, whether or not they dared to believe it, they had to.

They also understood that Jing Yan had absolutely no need to deceive them.

If Jing Yan was of the Innate Realm and had already displayed his powerful strength before them, any deception now would be entirely unnecessary.

Having never encountered a Martial Artist from the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven as strong as Jing Yan, they could only conclude that their own experience was limited and their knowledge lacking.

A Half-step Innate was also considered part of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.

Previously when Jing Yan activated his Sky Wings, he slew over a dozen members of the Ran Hou Gang in just a few breaths, and his use of Primordial Energy was also quite fierce.

Hence, a faint mist of Primordial Energy formed around his body.

From this, it could be deduced that Jing Yan was a Half-step Innate within the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven, similar to Ran Hou.

However, in terms of Combat Power, Ran Hou was nothing but trash compared to Jing Yan.

The Fiery Flame team members were full of mixed emotions, especially those Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artists, who felt a sense of sorrow.

As fellow Ninth Layer Heaven individuals, why was the gap so wide?

After entering the Moonlight Forest, the sky had already darkened.

Now, within the dense woods, the light grew even dimmer.

Even High-level Martial Artists could only see the surroundings within a few dozen meters with their naked eyes.

Traveling in such an environment was obviously very dangerous.

If it wasn’t for Jing Yan rushing for time, members of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team, like Gao Zhan, would have chosen to find a place to settle down and wait for daylight, when some light penetrated the forest before continuing on their journey.

Yet now, they had to continue their journey throughout the night.

However, with a strong practitioner like Jing Yan with them, they weren’t too worried, especially since they were currently only in the outer perimeter of the Moonlight Forest.

Over twenty Martial Artists dashed swiftly through the darkness.

By the time it was light, they had already ventured dozens of miles deep into the Moonlight Forest.

Sinful Canyon was approximately two hundred miles further into the heart of the Moonlight Forest.

Such a location was within the inner area of the forest, and if there wasn’t a task at hand, teams like the Fiery Flame Adventure Team would generally not venture that deep.

Because if they encountered a High-level Spiritual Beast, those above level seven, including level seven Spiritual Beasts, the Fiery Flame Adventure Team could possibly face casualties.

High-level Spiritual Beasts were too ferocious, possessing terrifying Attack Power.

Traveling day and night, in less than four days, Jing Yan and the Fiery Flame Adventure Team had ventured two hundred miles into the depths of the Moonlight Forest.

Along the way, they had encountered numerous Low-level and High-level Spiritual Beasts, which they had casually dispatched.

As for groups of Spiritual Beasts, they had not encountered any.

In fact, it wasn’t that they were lucky enough not to encounter any; it was that Jing Yan led the Fiery Flame members to avoid them before meeting them.

This time entering the Moonlight Forest, Jing Yan’s goal was clear; he was there to search for the Purple Incense Flowers in Sinful Canyon.

Hunting Spiritual Beasts was not his purpose at all.

Therefore, to save time, Jing Yan tried to avoid the groups of Spiritual Beasts as much as possible.

His senses were so sharp it was terrifying, and if there was a group of Spiritual Beasts on their route, Jing Yan could detect them immediately.

As for this, the people of Fiery Flame were clueless, thinking it was just good fortune that they hadn’t come across any groups of beasts.

“Young Master Jing Yan, in ten miles, you will be able to see Sinful Canyon!” Gao Zhan said to Jing Yan.

Throughout this journey, Gao Zhan and the others were undeniably excited.

They entered the Moonlight Forest on average twice a year, and for the most part, they had never ventured two hundred miles in.

Even so, they had never had such an easy experience.

Traveling with Jing Yan was like a delightful journey.

Along the way, the numerous Low-level and High-level Spiritual Beasts they killed here and there were not few in number and were immensely valuable.

And since Jing Yan didn’t want any of the resources they acquired, it was a huge advantage for the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

How could Gao Zhan and the others not be elated?

They even thought about how quickly Sinful Canyon had approached and how great it would be if they could keep killing like this.

However, in the end, they would have to part ways.

“Captain Gao Zhan, thank you.

Brothers, thank you,” Jing Yan said, clasping his hands towards Gao Zhan and the other members of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

At this point, they were very close to Sinful Canyon and it was time to part ways.

“Young Master Jing Yan, let’s accompany you to the edge of Sinful Canyon!” said Gao Feng, a slight excitement in her voice as her cheeks flushed with color.

“There’s no need.

You should start heading back from here!

It’s too dangerous near Sinful Canyon,” Jing Yan shook his head.

On the way here, Gao Zhan had provided him with ample information about Sinful Canyon.

Therefore, Jing Yan knew that high-level Spiritual Beasts roamed frequently near Sinful Canyon.

The Attack Power of High-level Spiritual Beasts was too strong.

If one or two appeared, Jing Yan was confident that he could protect the Fiery Flame members while killing the beasts.

But if there were too many, Jing Yan might not be able to look after everyone.

Thus, parting here was the most appropriate choice.

“Alright then,” Gao Feng pouted her red lips.

The others also felt a bit reluctant.

However, they knew that even if they continued with Jing Yan to the end, they would eventually have to separate.

Young Master Jing Yan was going to enter Sinful Canyon, and naturally, they could not accompany him.

For a regular Martial Artist who had not reached the Innate Realm, entering Sinful Canyon meant almost certain death with no chance of coming out alive.

“Young Master Jing Yan, be careful by yourself!”

“Young Master Jing Yan, take care!”

“…”

Although they had been together for only about four days, the people from Fiery Flame had learned quite a bit about Jing Yan.

They knew that this young and powerful Martial Artist deserved their respect.

So when they said these words, they meant them sincerely.

“Goodbye!” Jing Yan smiled.

“Whoosh!” With a slight movement of his Sky Wings, Jing Yan’s figure disappeared from the Fiery Flame group’s sight.

“I wonder if there will be a chance in this lifetime to meet Young Master Jing Yan again,” Gao Feng said, her eyes a bit wistful as she watched the direction in which Jing Yan vanished.

“It’s simple, little sister Gao Feng.

Young Master Jing Yan is a Martial Artist from Donglin City.

If you want to see him, we just have to go to Donglin City,” said Fang De with a chuckle.

“Looking for a spanking!” Gao Feng glared and chided.

However, the idea of visiting Donglin City seemed appealing to her if there was a chance.

“Whoosh!”

Jing Yan spurred his Sky Wings, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he reached the vicinity of Sinful Canyon.

Here, the towering trees were even denser.

The lush leaves formed a canopy that blocked out the sky, and even now during the day, the sunlight couldn’t penetrate.

The surrounding environment was very still, without any sound.

There were no Spiritual Beasts, nor any Human Martial Artists.
