Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: Young Master



Eighty-six years passed quickly.


As the effect of the Primordial Ancient Tree Leaves faded, Jing Yan’s progress in cultivating the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance suddenly slowed down. However, Jing Yan did not stop cultivating, as he was at a critical point. He was just one step away from mastering the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.


After the effect of the Primordial Ancient Tree Leaves disappeared, Jing Yan was in no rush and preferred to progress slowly, choosing to repeatedly calculate. Combining the Fate Dao, Jing Yan was continually approaching the mastery of the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.


Three hundred years... five hundred years...


Over eight hundred years later!


"Crash!" The barrier of the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance was finally shattered.


This barrier was exceedingly strong but was ultimately eroded bit by bit by Jing Yan.


At the moment when the Ancient Tree Inheritance broke through to the seventh layer, golden streams of light burst out on the surface of Jing Yan’s body. In the golden light, traces of purple Dao Rhythm were faintly interspersed.


Jing Yan didn’t have time to examine the changes brought by the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance as he immediately immersed himself in cultivation again.


Because his realm had also broken through.


The breakthrough in the Ancient Tree Inheritance directly propelled the advancement of his realm from the Late Stage of All Things Realm to the Peak of All Things Realm, extremely close to the Controller Level.


The breakthrough to the seventh layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance had an immense impact on Jing Yan. Although he hadn’t yet verified the power of the seventh layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, Jing Yan knew that the power of the seventh layer should at least directly increase his combat power by several times.


Frenziedly absorbing the energy of the Star Stones.


This time, the massive resources Jing Yan obtained in the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, especially the number of Star Stones, were astounding. Jing Yan didn’t even bother to count the Star Stones.


From each Star Stone, vast energy surged into Jing Yan’s Divine Power within his body.


He didn’t know how many Star Stones he absorbed before he felt his Divine Power become saturated.


He opened his eyes.


"Peak of All Things Realm! Just a bit away from the Controller Level. If I can cultivate the Hongmeng Dao Pattern to the seventh layer as well, I should be able to directly step into the Controller Realm." Jing Yan squinted his eyes slightly.


"First, go to the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins. I have already mastered the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance and can take over the entire ruin," Jing Yan took out the Order Token that the Ancient Vine Elder had given him back then.


Through this Order Token, Jing Yan could directly reach the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins.


"Swish!" Jing Yan activated the Order Token, and his figure disappeared from the Qiankun World. The next moment, a familiar scene came into view.


Within the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins.


"Jing Yan, how did you get back here, young lad?" The aged figure of the Ancient Vine Elder appeared before Jing Yan.


Jing Yan activated the Order Token, and the Ancient Vine Elder immediately sensed it. He hadn’t yet reacted as he didn’t expect that in just tens of thousands of years, Jing Yan had already mastered the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance. And to activate that Order Token required mastering the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.


"Senior!" Jing Yan bowed in greeting upon seeing the Ancient Vine Elder.


"You... you’ve mastered the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance?" A flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in the cloudy eyes of the Ancient Vine Elder.


Jing Yan could see how excited Ancient Vine Elder was.


"Senior! If I hadn’t mastered the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, I wouldn’t have been able to activate that Order Token to return," Jing Yan smiled as he spoke.


"Quick! Show me the Ancient Tree Inheritance!" The Ancient Vine Elder’s body trembled slightly, a touch of crimson surfacing on his face.


Behind him, countless vines swayed.


Jing Yan remembered when he was in the Earth Realm, his sense of powerlessness in front of these vines when he entered this ruin. Now, although he still felt the power of these vines was amazing, there was no longer that sensation of being unable to resist.


Jing Yan activated the Ancient Tree Inheritance, with golden streams of light emanating from his body.


"Hahaha..." The Ancient Vine Elder suddenly burst into laughter.


"Wonderful! Wonderful! Finally, a true Guardian who has mastered the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance has arrived." Tears of joy fell as the Ancient Vine Elder laughed.


"Senior, you..." Jing Yan withdrew the Ancient Tree Inheritance.


"Jing Yan... no, I cannot call you by name anymore. I should address you as Young Master now." The Ancient Vine Elder suddenly made a startling move that took Jing Yan aback.


He knelt in front of Jing Yan.


"Ancient Vine pays respects to the Young Master!" The Ancient Vine Elder called out with extreme reverence, his voice bearing a sense of sorrow, yet upon careful listening, a note of joy was discernible amidst the sorrow.


"Senior, what are you doing?" Jing Yan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly moved forward to assist the Ancient Vine Elder up.


"Young Master, please do not address me as senior anymore; you can just call me Ancient Vine." The Ancient Vine Elder spoke with fear and trepidation.


"Alright... alright then! Brother Gute, I’m a bit puzzled as to why you have suddenly shown me such grand courtesy?" Jing Yan asked with a wry smile.


"Young Master, you may not be aware!"


"In the countless years before you entered these ruins, I’ve chosen a few promising candidates among the Chaos Creatures entering the ruins, letting them cultivate the Ancient Tree Inheritance. But so far, you, Young Master, are the only one who has mastered the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance and returned."


"According to the master’s instructions, whoever masters the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance shall inherit everything from him, including his identity. In precise terms, only those who master the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance can be considered a true Guardian of the Primordial Ancient Tree, holding a unique status in the Ancient Tree Space." The Ancient Vine Elder spoke slowly.


"The Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance is indeed challenging." Jing Yan nodded.


If it weren’t for the deductions made with the Fate Dao, Jing Yan would find his hopes of mastering the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance slim as well.


"It is extremely, extremely difficult. To be honest, Young Master, when I brought you here alone to let you cultivate the Ancient Tree Inheritance, I didn’t hold much hope for you. In endless years, some Life Forms were slightly more outstanding than you, Young Master, yet they still couldn’t master the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance."


"I really didn’t expect, Young Master, that you could master the Seventh Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance in just tens of thousands of years," the Ancient Vine Elder said with a smile.


"I haven’t been cultivating for long, so I might be less experienced, but I heard that in the Ancient Tree Space, there are many Life Forms born very powerful. Could it be that those in the Ancient Tree Space cannot cultivate the Ancient Tree Inheritance?" Jing Yan asked with surprise.


"Young Master, the number of Life Forms in the Ancient Tree Space is very small. Moreover, after the Life Forms in Ancient Tree Space are born, they are inherently gifted with a Secret Technique. Their improvement is rapid when cultivating their own Secret Technique, but when it comes to cultivating other Secret Techniques, progress is exceedingly slow. The Master once said that the native Secret Techniques of Life Forms in the Ancient Tree Space are the blessings of the Primordial Ancient Tree." The Ancient Vine Elder shook his head.
