the Western Area Business Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jing Clan was in charge of it, and they had controlled it for so long that the property pretty much belonged to the Jing Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dong Lin City, there were four business zones: the Eastern Area Business Zone, the Western Area Business Zone, the Southern Area Business Zone, and the Northern Area Business Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A different family controlled each zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The families were known among the warriors as the Four Legendary Families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jing Clan was one of the famous four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan arrived at one of the business zones shortly after leaving the Jing Clan’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked some less traveled streets to avoid the crowds so that not many people would notice him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, quite a few warriors were hanging out in the business zone at that time, and it was really busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have taken extraordinary eyesight to spot Jing Yan in the crowds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a feat wouldn’t have been easy even for the Jing Clan members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Jing Yan stopped at a weapon store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Glorious Weapon Store!” As illustrious as the name of that shop sounded, it was, in fact, quite shabby compared to the other stores in the business zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop was also located in a remote section of the business zone, so the traffic there was almost always minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few warriors would actually step inside the inconspicuous weapon shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Business obviously wasn’t going very well for the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan came to that conclusion as he entered the weapon store and saw no other customers inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the counter stood a muscular middle-aged man with a full beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Chenxing!” Jing Yan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan greeted the middle-aged man behind the counter with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Jing Yan knew this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than that, they were actually quite close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s name was Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a member of the Jing Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan still remembered that when he was little, Jing Chenxing used to carry him in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, most of Jing Yan’s memories about his own father came from what Jing Chenxing had told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the middle-aged man, he and Jing Yan’s father used to be very close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan didn’t remember much about his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was very little, his father had gone missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family spent a long time trying to find him, but they failed to find any clues to his whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since then, Jing Chenxing had taken responsibility for caring for Jing Yan as he grew up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chenxing had been a very gifted warrior, but he had been severely injured many years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he survived, he had lost a leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Jing Chenxing opened a weapon shop in the business zone and started making a living as a smith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, what brings you here today?” Jing Chenxing said with a heartfelt smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was genuinely happy to see Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan, on the other hand, felt a sense of self-loathing when he saw the happy look on Jing Chenxing’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s smile made him a little sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jing Yan’s talents had been discovered, he had started living his life like the bright moon surrounded by all the stars in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had barely visited the uncle who had taken care of him, Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back on that now, Jing Yan simply hated his younger self for turning his back on his uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been such a jerk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan let out a soft sigh, the corners of his eyes moist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come over here, little guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let your uncle take a good look at you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve grown a lot taller.” Jing Chenxing walked out from behind the counter with a cane in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chenxing was also aware that Jing Yan’s rank had been falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was once a genius, but he had become practically useless in recent days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jing Chenxing’s attitude toward Jing Yan hadn’t become any colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Chenxing, it doesn’t look like you’re getting too much business here, does it?” Jing Yan asked, walking up to Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s actually not that bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not starving to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if it got too busy, I don’t think I could handle it anyway.” Jing Chenxing waved his hand dismissively as if he didn’t care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, did you come to see me because something happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you need help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, you must need Spiritual Stones for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait for a second, I will go get some for you.” Jing Chenxing turned around and headed back behind the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chenxing wouldn’t have a massive stock of Spiritual Stones himself either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he lost his leg, his martial arts life had basically ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been forced to open an ordinary weapon shop like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way the store could bring him much profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he had some Spiritual Stones, he wouldn’t have many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it had probably taken a long time to accumulate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Chenxing, please don’t bother.” Jing Yan reached out his hand to stop Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chenxing looked at Jing Yan with a slightly puzzled look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Chenxing, I do need your help, but it’s not about the Spiritual Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I plan to go to the Blackrock Mountains to hunt for some Spiritual Beasts, so I need a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family took my old weapon away,” Jing Yan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You want to enter the Blackrock Mountains?” Jing Chenxing paused for a brief moment to think over Jing Yan’s words, then quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t go, it’s too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan, if you had wanted to go to the Blackrock Mountains when you were at the peak of your abilities, I wouldn’t have stopped you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, I can’t let you go there.” Jing Chenxing’s tone was very decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blackrock Mountains was the place where Jing Chenxing had gotten badly injured in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blackrock Mountains, the enormous mountainous area to the west of Ding Lin City, had a lot of ferocious Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Precelestial warriors wouldn’t dare to journey too far into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Jing Yan’s rank had dropped to the Third Heaven, Jing Chenxing certainly felt a little worried about the idea of Jing Yan entering the Blackrock Mountains all by himself to hunt for Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Chenxing, I’ve thought it through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t take risks with my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please don’t worry about me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll only hang around the outer area of the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I come across any Spiritual Beasts I can’t handle by myself, I will get out of the place as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Chenxing, you don’t wish to see me keep falling like this, do you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t either!” Jing Yan said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Chenxing gazed at Jing Yan as he took in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered the matter for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, I’m glad that you are so determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, I will give you a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don’t forget what you just said, and remember to watch out for yourself.” “Sure thing!” Jing Yan said with a big smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, here’s a longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take it.” Jing Chenxing lifted a pitch-black longsword out of a wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw the sword, Jing Yan’s breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because the sword was of incredibly fine quality or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan simply knew the sword; Jing Chenxing used to carry it with him all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was called Moonbeam Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan knew very well how much the sword meant to Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the man was now willing to give the sword to Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just take it.” Jing Chenxing raised his voice as he noticed Jing Yan’s look of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Chenxing…” Jing Yan still wasn’t sure if he should take Moonbeam Sword from Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, it’s no use to me anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in your hands, it will have a chance to thrive,” Jing Chenxing said with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked steadily at Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan reached out both his hands and accepted Moonbeam Sword from Jing Chenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonbeam Sword was a Top-grade weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no match for the Legendary-grade weapon Jing Yan used to have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, a Top-grade weapon was way more than enough for Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a Top-grade weapon was still considered highly valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the Jing Clan, only a few high-ranking warriors were qualified to use Top-grade weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f6cf5e2470440bff736b1361aacd8381e14ea64292ed92c415047317ba2d92b","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-8","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-6",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
