“Hehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty-plus members of Flame burst into quiet laughter, obviously catching on to Fang De’s intention to embarrass Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng rolled her eyes and shot Fang De a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t rebuke Fang De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn’t a matter of great significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this guy named Jing Yan acting so cocky and pretentious, Gao Feng also felt a twinge of annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen plenty of these young masters—those from minor families in small towns who had far more opportunities to access resources than they as adventurers did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea how dangerous a place like the Moonlight Forest could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Jing Yan just chuckled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear to everyone that Fang De was trying to ridicule him, so how could Jing Yan not realize it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their brief interaction, he could tell that the members of Flame were decent folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, my Cultivation isn’t lower than yours!” Jing Yan said earnestly to Fang De with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Jing Yan, do you even know what realm I’m in?” Fang De, taken aback at first, laughed out loud again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, how could Jing Yan possibly know his realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying such a thing was merely an attempt not to lose face—a classic case of pretending to be something he was not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven!” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I should also be considered to be in the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shouldn’t underestimate me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan paused before he jokingly added that last sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-step Innate Realm also counts as part of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Continent, realms are distinct in classification and, typically, there’s no Half-step Innate level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm lies the Innate Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many martial artists don’t even experience the transitional Half-step Innate stage before progressing to the Innate Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Jing Yan saying he is also in the Ninth Layer Heaven was not incorrect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Jing Yan claim to be in the Ninth Layer Heaven, the others were momentarily taken aback, casting doubtful glances his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this Young Master Jing Yan telling the truth or just boasting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he genuinely possessed Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Cultivation, that would be truly fearsome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Young Master Jing Yan appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet already at the Ninth Layer Heaven—how terrifying must his Martial Arts talent be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His future ascension to the Innate Realm would undoubtedly be steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Innate Realm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Jing Yan, don’t be full of hot air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our mission with Flame is to ensure your safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you were that powerful, what would we need to protect you for?” Gao Feng, always blunt, directly challenged Jing Yan’s pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe…” Jing Yan chuckled twice more but offered no further explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jing Yan fall silent, Gao Feng and the others became even more convinced that he had been bluffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Jing Yan again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery-tempered beauty’s eye-rolling, however, was quite stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Up ahead is Soul-breaking Cliff!” announced Gao Zhan, the team leader, pointing ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the center of Soul-breaking Cliff, there’s a Heavenly Ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this whole region, it’s the only access to the Moonlight Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, we’d have to detour hundreds of miles away,” Gao Zhan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shared this information mainly for Jing Yan’s sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the adventuring team already knew these details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Jing Yan, who was entering the Moonlight Forest for the first time, the knowledge would be less clear, even if he had heard of it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say that Soul-breaking Cliff was not formed naturally,” Fang De added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm, indeed it wasn’t natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-breaking Cliff was moved here by a supreme powerhouse to prevent the spiritual beasts in the Moonlight Forest from bothering human dwellers in the Duyang City area,” Gao Feng nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was deeply moved by their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the massive Soul-breaking Cliff could already be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This staggeringly steep cliff that soared directly into the clouds was actually moved here by Human Martial Artists from another location?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How strong must that martial artist have been?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng referred to him as a supreme powerhouse but didn’t specify the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Gao Feng herself did not know the realm of that strong individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to relocate such an immense cliff, the strength required would be terrifying indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When would he himself possess such strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan couldn’t help but sigh deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they talked, the group reached the Heavenly Ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enter the Moonlight Forest, they had to climb to the top of Soul-breaking Cliff, then descend again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they reach the bottom on the other side, they would officially enter the Moonlight Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was the only way to enter the Moonlight Forest for hundreds of miles, there were many Martial Artists passing through here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After climbing from the base of the cliff for nearly two hours, Jing Yan and the group eventually made it to the top of Soul-breaking Cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan marveled in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-breaking Cliff was indeed incredibly steep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the presence of the Heavenly Ladder, even he might not have been able to climb from the bottom to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not every Innate Strong Person might be able to do so, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, down below, they could already see a vast expanse of green stretching far into the distance, endless and boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Moonlight Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moonlight Forest was more legendary than the Black Stone Mountain Range in Lanqu County, let alone Duyang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Black Stone Mountain Range was also replete with spiritual beasts, it lacked in Spirit Grass and other resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that there wasn’t any, but compared to the Moonlight Forest, there was much less Spirit Grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly all the adventurers entering the Moonlight Forest set finding various kinds of Spirit Grass as one of their primary objectives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If fortune was on their side, discovering a precious high-grade Spirit Grass could make one rich overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, luck always graced only a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people might enter the Moonlight Forest many times in their lifetime, only to find some Low-level Spirit Grass at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marquis!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of Soul-breaking Cliff, a black-clad Martial Artist hurried over from a distance, stopping before a group of several dozen Martial Artists and saluting the man at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have they arrived?” The man at the front, slim but with enormous bulging eyes that made him look quite comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the dozens of solemn-faced Martial Artists around him stood silent and attentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this region, there was hardly anyone who did not recognize the Marquis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Ran Hou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the leader of the most powerful band of bandits in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Ran Hou stood a man with a somber expression—the very Hua Bao who had been taught a lesson by Gao Feng in the Black Teeth Tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.818Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f75a5c27705e1ff7caea3b9192fbceb66c22836387c298c371ab73a52653314","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-111","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-109",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
