Chapter 804: 804

"The quantity of resources is simply too much!

The Gai Family, having governed eight regions for thousands of years, has amassed wealth that ordinary martial artists can’t even fathom.

Because there were so many resources, Jing Yan, unable to manage on his own, asked nine Hall Masters to help tally and account for them.

It took three full days to categorize all the resources and calculate their total value.

Jing Yan unleashed a stream of Primordial Energy, splitting the resources in half—one half for himself, and the other for the core member families of the Glory Alliance.

These dozens of family forces would further distribute that half of the resources based on their performance and achievements in this battle.

After tallying and verifying, it took another full day to completely distribute the resources.

The members of these families, upon receiving the resources, were overjoyed to the point of madness.

Even the family that received the least resources got a staggering amount, comparable to their total income over several decades under normal circumstances.

"Brothers in the Alliance, you may disperse now!" Jing Yan said with a smile and a wave.

The member forces of the Alliance took their leave one after another. They were all satisfied with their share of the resources, with none expressing even the slightest objection—of course, they wouldn’t dare to entertain other thoughts.

They, hailing from various parts of the continent, should now return to their respective families with the massive resources, using them to further strengthen and empower their families.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, we will take our leave as well!" one Hall Master said respectfully as he bowed to Jing Yan.

"Wait a moment!" Jing Yan stopped the Hall Masters.

"These resources, I hope, my Lords, you won’t find them too little!" Jing Yan then took a portion from his half and divided it into nine shares, one for each of the nine Hall Masters.

"This...isn’t necessary, is it?"

"We have already received Elixirs from your hands, Hall Master Jing Yan. We don’t need a share of these resources!"

"Indeed! Moreover, our losses in this battle were minor."

"Hall Master Jing Yan, please keep them!" the Hall Masters urged as they refuted the offer.

"My Lords, please don’t be polite. If you don’t accept them, then don’t expect to exchange for Elixirs with me in the future," Jing Yan teased.

The nine Hall Masters were not alone in battle but were accompanied by their private troops. Even if the Hall Masters themselves did not need these resources, what about their subordinates? Surely, they shouldn’t labor for nothing.

Moreover, Jing Yan didn’t want to dwell on resource issues.

Seeing Jing Yan insist, they reluctantly accepted the shares.

After another round of compliments, the Hall Masters also left the Splendid Dojo.

"Brother Gui Yang!" Jing Yan called out to Gui Yang.

"Alliance Leader!" Gui Yang approached Jing Yan.

"Brother, the core members within our dojo have made great contributions this time. They deserve rewards. Please calculate and distribute suitable Elixirs based on their Cultivation levels," Jing Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, the core members of the dojo beamed with joy. Alliance Leader Jing Yan clearly hadn’t forgotten about them; they would all receive Elixir rewards.

"Alright, that’s easy," Gui Yang nodded.

Subsequently, the core members of the dojo, including Zheng Sanxiao and others, also gradually departed.

"Hall Master Jing Yan!"

"Holy Master!"

Shen Chong approached Jing Yan, who had been staying in the Splendid Dojo for the past few days, as he had important matters to discuss with Jing Yan.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, you might as well call me by my name," Shen Chong chuckled dryly.

As Jing Yan had entered the Saint Realm, he, though a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner and a Holy Master, couldn’t really accept being called "Sir" by Jing Yan.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, you have entered the Saint Realm, haven’t you?" Shen Chong asked again for confirmation.

"Yes, as of now, my Cultivation has indeed entered the Saint Realm," Jing Yan nodded.

"Alright, let’s go somewhere secluded to talk. What I’m about to discuss is very important for you," Shen Chong said, his expression growing solemn as he lowered his voice.

The two went to a room within the Splendid Dojo.

"Holy Master, just speak your mind. Our conversation will absolutely not reach a third ear," Jing Yan stated.

Jing Yan guessed that what Shen Chong was about to say must relate to his advancement to the Saint Realm. It was well known that practitioners of the Saint Realm could not stay in Heavenly Origin Continent without reason.

During the great battle in Flowing Light City against the Gai Family, Senior Tianshui had mentioned ’Guardians.’ Jing Yan felt that these guardians might play a crucial role in it.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, after the war between humans and gods, many Saint Realm martial artists survived. Gu Luoshui was one among them. Our Heavenly Origin Continent, although just one of the continents in this world, had some Saint Realm martial artists survive. However, now, there are no traces of Saint Realm martial artists on the continent. Do you know why?" Shen Chong’s voice deepened.

Jing Yan shook his head.

"This actually stems from the truce agreement made after the war between humans and gods. At that time, an immensely powerful martial artist intervened, mediated, and ended the war between the Human Clan and the Divine Race by signing a truce. This agreement also specified that Human Clan Saint Realm martial artists must leave the Human Territory, a restriction imposed on the humans. For the Divine Race, the restriction was that no member of the Divine Race could enter the Human Territory to wander!"

"In any case, this agreement placed strict restrictions on both the Human Clan and the Divine Race," Shen Chong slowly explained, while Jing Yan listened without interjecting.

"That powerful being, known as the Guardian, it can be said that without the Guardian, our world might have been completely destroyed by now." Shen Chong knew these matters because of his status as a Holy Master.

And on Heavenly Origin Continent currently, perhaps only Shen Chong knew this information. If Jing Yan hadn’t reached the Saint Realm, Shen Chong wouldn’t have discussed it with him.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, having ascended to the Saint Realm, the Guardian must already know. It probably won’t be long before you meet him. At that time, he will ask you to leave the Heavenly Origin Continent," Shen Chong glanced at Jing Yan.

He shared this with Jing Yan primarily to prepare him mentally, so that when the Guardian met Jing Yan, Jing Yan wouldn’t act irrationally and anger the Guardian.

"Holy Master, I think I understand your point. May I know where this Guardian currently is, and how long until he arrives at the Heavenly Origin Continent?" Jing Yan asked.

"The Guardian usually resides in the Sky Sacred Hall, which is located deep within the Despair Abyss. I’m not sure about the exact location. However, the Guardian is likely on his way to the Heavenly Origin Continent now. With the Guardian’s speed, he should arrive on the Heavenly Origin Continent within a few days," Shen Chong said slightly frowning.
