The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 869: Revised - Puppet Follows

Jing Yan entered the third hall for too long, Old Second and the six Life Puppets became increasingly concerned.

"Looks like he’s really dead!"

"Ah, this Jing Yan kid had such high talent. He received the master’s inheritance and made astonishing progress. To wait for another inheritor as outstanding as Jing Yan, it might take tens of thousands of years!"

The Life Puppets all shook their heads and sighed.

"What are you lot babbling about outside? Get in here!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmm?"

"Is Big Brother calling us?"

"Big Brother is calling us into the third hall?" Old Second and the other puppets were slightly taken aback and then suddenly awakened.

"Could it be that Jing Yan isn’t dead? Did Jing Yan pass the test of the third hall?"

If Jing Yan had been killed by Big Brother, Big Brother wouldn’t be calling them into the third hall.

"Let’s go in and take a look!" The six figures started moving and entered the third hall from the second hall.

As soon as they entered, they saw Jing Yan standing beside Big Brother, smiling at them.

"Big Brother, did this Jing Yan kid pass your test?" Old Second asked in a surprised tone.

"He’s too amazing!"

"Tsk tsk, truly unexpected." Old Seven shook his head and looked at Jing Yan.

"Indeed, Jing Yan passed the test of the third hall I guard. He is now about to leave the Death Temple and return to the outside. I called you in to ask if you want to go out and see the world with Jing Yan!" Big Brother looked at the other six puppets and asked.

Old Second and the other puppets’ eyes lit up at these words.

Although they were puppets, they had life. After being in the Death Temple for tens of thousands of years, they were indeed weary and yearned to see the outside. However, their mission was not completed, and as the master’s command, they couldn’t defy it.

Now that Jing Yan had obtained the full inheritance and passed the third hall guarded by Big Brother, it meant that until Jing Yan’s death, their mission was temporarily considered complete.

"If you want to go out with Jing Yan, then go." Big Brother smiled slightly.

"Big Brother, what do you mean? Aren’t you coming with us?" Old Second frowned and asked.

"I won’t be coming out." Big Brother pondered slightly and said.

Indeed, he had no intention of leaving the Death Temple with Jing Yan, but he wouldn’t stop the other puppets from leaving.

"If you go out with Jing Yan, stay by his side. Though Jing Yan’s power now surpasses yours, you can still assist him outside. Remember, you must try to protect Jing Yan’s safety." Big Brother sternly said to Old Second and the other puppets.

"Big Brother, why don’t you..." Old Second and the other puppets looked anxiously at Big Brother.

"Enough, no need to say more, I have decided to stay. You must be discreet after going out and do not cause trouble for Jing Yan, or else I won’t spare you." Big Brother waved his hand and said.

Seeing Big Brother’s determination, Old Second and the other puppets didn’t dare to say more. Since Big Brother had decided, he wouldn’t change his mind easily, any further persuasion would be useless.

Afterwards, Jing Yan and the puppets bid farewell to Big Brother and returned to the first hall.

Bai Xue was still in closed cultivation, so Jing Yan and the puppets waited patiently.

After more than ten days, Bai Xue came out of her seclusion. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Jing Yan!" The moment Bai Xue ended her cultivation, she opened her eyes and looked for Jing Yan’s figure. Seeing Jing Yan not far away, she felt relieved.

"Bai Xue, let’s leave this place!" Jing Yan smiled.

"Leave?" Bai Xue slightly frowned.

"Yes, I’ve passed all the tests of the Death Temple, it’s time to leave." Jing Yan nodded, "You are now at the peak of the Tiaoist Emperor Realm, the next step is to prepare for the breakthrough to the Saint Realm. However, don’t rush it, make thorough preparations. If you fail due to haste, it will be a great loss."

Breaking through from the Tiaoist Emperor Realm to the Saint Realm is an extremely difficult barrier for a martial artist. Jing Yan’s breakthrough was realized during a battle with a Holy Dao practitioner of the Gai Family, thanks to his powerful Divine Soul and mental method.

"Yes!" Having cultivated to this point, Bai Xue had some understanding of the Saint Realm and wouldn’t act rashly.

"Let’s go! Bai Xue, you and Second Brother, and the rest of them, enter the Qiankun Small World first, I’ll take you out." Jing Yan said, and then placed Bai Xue and the six puppets into the Qiankun Small World.

Then, he took a step and left the Death Temple.

He gazed upward.

"Swoosh!" Jing Yan soared into the sky.

The destructive force within the Abyss continuously assaulted him, but Jing Yan’s mind moved, and a stream of Primordial Energy flowed out, isolating the extremely dangerous destructive force for a Holy Dao practitioner.

Then, Jing Yan, bearing the powerful force, quickly flew upwards.

...

Outside the Death Abyss.

"Brother Fang, do you feel any change in the destructive aura of the Death Abyss?"

Two figures floated in the sky nearby, one of them spoke.

The speaker was the Old Sect Master of the Clear Spring Sect, a strong practitioner at the Saint Realm Third Stage.

The Clear Spring Sect is a Second Grade Force. In the Despair Abyss, nearly all Second Grade Forces have a Saint Realm Third Stage practitioner. The Rainbow Gown Divine Sect has it, and so does the Clear Spring Sect. Without a Saint Realm Third Stage practitioner, a sect could not be promoted to a Second Grade Force.

If the Saint Realm Third Stage practitioner of a Second Grade Force falls, the force quickly descends to Third Grade Force, pressured by others.

Beside the Clear Spring Sect’s Old Sect Master stood a Saint Realm Third Stage practitioner from the Fang Family. Jing Yan knew this person, who, along with the Fang Family Patriarch Fang Jue, had previously chased Jing Yan.

"I feel the energy of the abyss seems to change slightly. Let’s wait here for a few days. If we can confirm changes in the Death Abyss’s energy, we can send the message back." The Fang Family’s Saint Realm Third Stage practitioner said intently.

As per calculations, the Death Abyss was about to open. The abyss opens every hundred years, and during this period, many strong practitioners from major forces come to investigate. After all, the Death Abyss remains open only for three days each time. Missing it means waiting another century.

The Saint Realm Third Stage practitioners from the Fang Family and the Clear Spring Sect’s Old Sect Master came to investigate the energy fluctuations of the abyss. Before opening, the energy enveloping the Death Abyss shows some fluctuations, lasting a short period.
