The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1899: Chapter 1899: Ancient Tree Inheritance Fourth Layer

Jing Yan’s total Heavenly Palace Points were 120 million. If he used 20 million points to exchange for Green Mucous, it would be like using one-sixth of his points to acquire something that wouldn’t help his cultivation much.

Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen’s dissuasion was, naturally, out of kindness. After all, Jing Yan was in a rapid growth phase, consuming many resources for cultivation. Once he reached the Controller Level in the future, accumulating resources would be much faster than consuming them. Then, exchanging or purchasing something as precious and useless to him as Green Mucous would be relatively reasonable.

Honestly, spending 20 million points made Jing Yan’s heart ache.

However, he had already promised Little Black he would exchange for Green Mucous.

In his home universe, Little Black’s help to Jing Yan was immense. Without Little Black, no one could tell where Jing Yan would be now.

"Master... I don’t want the Green Mucous anymore; it’s too precious," Little Black communicated with Jing Yan in thought.

He said he didn’t want it, but he still really desired it.

Jing Yan did not respond but looked at Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen and said, "Master Ye Zhen, could you please help me calculate the value of these resources, including the Green Mucous?"

Jing Yan still decided to exchange for Green Mucous. Since Little Black wanted it so much, it must have its uses.

"Have you made up your mind?" Ye Zhen asked for confirmation.

"Yes, I’m sure." Jing Yan nodded.

The value calculation was completed quickly. The materials Jing Yan selected totaled 9.6 million Heavenly Palace Points in value.

Jing Yan handed his Identity Token to Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen, so she could deduct the corresponding points.

"Master Ye Zhen, please also help me exchange 20 million points for Star Stones," Jing Yan continued.

Jing Yan purchased many materials for practicing various Secret Techniques, but improving his own realm and Divine Power also required absorbing Star Stone energy.

Twenty million Heavenly Palace Points could be exchanged for four million Star Stones.

"Certainly," Ye Zhen nodded.

By this point, Jing Yan had spent a total of 116 million Hongjun Heavenly Palace Points, leaving only eight million points in his Identity Token. Over a hundred million points were spent in the blink of an eye, now only a few million remained.

It was painful!

But the points were spent in exchange for a vast amount of cultivation resources.

With the resources exchanged, Jing Yan bid farewell to Ye Zhen and left the Treasure Vault.

Instead of going to the Nuwa Divine Palace, Jing Yan returned to his residence on the mountain peak. Along the way, every Heavenly Palace Disciple he encountered greeted Jing Yan with respect, calling him senior brother, irrespective of which hall they belonged to. They all highly respected Jing Yan.

The news about Jing Yan’s clash with Jin Xian had spread around. Knowing that Jing Yan defeated Jin Xian left the Heavenly Palace Disciples both shocked and in awe. Jin Xian was a senior Core Disciple but was still defeated head-on by Jing Yan.

Senior Brother Jing Yan’s power was terrifying indeed!

Mandala, who Jing Yan had defeated before, also heard the news. Previously, he was defeated by Jing Yan in a single sword strike, and still harbored some resentment, hoping to one day restore his honor. But now, he was completely dumbfounded.

Upon returning to his residence on the mountain peak, the first thing Jing Yan did was take out the Green Mucous.

This item, classified as a mineral but also a secretion of the Heaven Devouring Clan Mother, was something Little Black desperately wanted.

"Little Black, what do you want it for, to eat it or what?" Jing Yan communicated with Little Black.

In front of Jing Yan’s body, Little Black quickly condensed into a cluster of Source Power. Little Black looked like just a black shadow, and he was named Little Black because he looked entirely pitch black.

"I want to devour it! I can feel it will help me significantly. Devouring it might make me much stronger. Master, I don’t even know how to thank you. You exchanged such a precious thing for me," Little Black gratefully told Jing Yan.

"Little Black, don’t forget; you are practically a part of me. Over the years, the help you’ve given me is invaluable. While the Green Mucous is precious, it can’t compare to your help," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"Since you want to devour it, then start!" Jing Yan added.

"Okay!" The black light that Little Black gathered trembled slightly and then covered the Green Mucous.

In his home universe, Little Black had devoured many items that could improve his grade. But a long time ago, Little Black reached his limit and couldn’t improve any further. Now, encountering the Green Mucous, unexpectedly rekindled Little Black’s desire to devour it.

"Master, the energy contained in this Green Mucous is too abundant; it might take me a while to devour it, so don’t mind me," Little Black’s thoughts directly connected with Jing Yan’s Divine Soul.

"Alright, I’ll go into closed-door cultivation then." Jing Yan nodded.

Afterward, Jing Yan went to the Nuwa Divine Palace and sat cross-legged after entering the Cultivation Room.

Currently, Jing Yan needed to consume Heavenly Palace Points to cultivate in the Cultivation Room. Roughly ten thousand points were consumed each year in the Cultivation Room.

"Let’s start with the Ancient Tree Inheritance! At present, I’ve mastered the Ancient Tree Inheritance up to the Third Level, and both its defense and attack are strong. If you want to live long, self-preservation methods come first." Jing Yan decided to start with the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

Jing Yan took out the resources needed for cultivating the Ancient Tree Inheritance, and then took out the sealed Divine Soul Energy of the Devouring Heaven Clan. This was what Jing Yan had obtained by slaying the Devouring Sky Clan monster that guarded the Reincarnation Path’s Second Layer.

After a brief pause, Jing Yan took out a leaf of the Primordial Chaos Tree. Inside the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins, Jing Yan received two leaves from the Ancient Vine Elder. He used one at the time, leaving one, and the Ancient Vine Elder said he could use the second leaf after reaching the All Things Realm.

"Begin!" Jing Yan first absorbed the Divine Soul Energy of the Devouring Sky Clan’s lifeform.

This was the Divine Soul Energy of a Devouring Sky Clan lifeform of the All Things Realm, with a very high grade and an astonishing effect. In a short time, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body improved by more than ten percent, about fifteen percent.

Subsequently, Jing Yan consumed the leaf of the Primordial Chaos Tree.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

That peculiar feeling almost gave Jing Yan the illusion that he was omnipotent.

He deduced the Ancient Tree Inheritance and then cultivated.

It was as smooth as rolling bamboo, with no obstacles. At this moment, Jing Yan felt as if his brain was developed to one hundred percent of its capacity.

"Fate Dao!"

"Indeed, the Fate Dao greatly aids the cultivation of secret techniques. Previously, without mastering the Fate Dao to the Great Success Level, I didn’t clearly sense it. But now, that feeling is quite apparent." Jing Yan nodded silently.

Jing Yan’s speed of cultivation was astonishing, and the rapid progress in Secret Techniques was indeed directly related to the Fate Dao. With regard to the deduction of Secret Techniques, the Fate Dao had a terrifying effect.

Eight years later.

"Crash!"

The barrier of Jing Yan’s Ancient Tree Inheritance Secret Technique broke through from the Third Level to the Fourth Level.

After breaking through the Ancient Tree Inheritance Secret Technique, Jing Yan immediately set his sights on the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.
