The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1969: Chapter 1969: Master Guardian

When the Ancient Vine Elder spoke like this, Jing Yan understood. From his interactions with the Chenyuan Emperor, Jing Yan could also sense that the Chenyuan Emperor was an extremely emotional and righteous person.

"Brother Ancient Vine, let’s go to the Ancient Tree Space now," Jing Yan said immediately.

The Ancient Vine Elder nodded.

Immediately, Jing Yan manipulated the relic to initiate a teleportation. This relic left by the Ancient Tree Elder itself was an extremely powerful treasure.

With just a slight tremor, the entire relic stabilized again.

"Young Master, we have already entered the Ancient Tree Space," the Ancient Vine Elder said to Jing Yan after sensing outside of the relic.

The two then exited the relic.

Jing Yan put away the relic treasure!

This was a world of green.

Looking around, everywhere was a forest formed by towering trees.

Here was the Ancient Tree Space, a world rich with plant aura.

Returning to the Ancient Tree Space, the expression on the Ancient Vine Elder’s face was very excited. It had been a very long time since he had returned to the Ancient Tree Space. If it weren’t for Jing Yan mastering the Ancient Tree Inheritance up to the seventh layer and becoming a true Guardian, the Ancient Vine would still not be able to return to the Ancient Tree Space; he would have to stay in the relic, waiting for the true Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space to appear.

Jing Yan allowed his Divine Thought to spread freely.

In the exploration with Divine Thought, Jing Yan could see some traces of war, as if he could witness the ferocity of the ancient battles. Although a long time had passed, traces of the ancient war were still evident everywhere in this world.

Now, many Ancient Tree Spirits still guard the Ancient Tree World. When outsiders enter, they will face relentless attacks. If they damage the Ancient Tree Space, the Ancient Tree Spirits will even pursue them outside the Ancient Tree World.

Each Ancient Tree Spirit is extremely powerful. Though not numerous, even when many mighty Chaos Creatures invaded, they were driven out. While it’s true that within the Ancient Tree Space, the Ancient Tree Spirits receive enhanced strength from the Primordial Chaos Tree, their combat power must indeed be acknowledged as terrifying.

Not long after Jing Yan and the Ancient Vine Elder entered the Ancient Tree Space, several figures appeared not far from them.

Upon life entering the Ancient Tree Space, the Ancient Tree Spirits immediately become aware and can quickly reach where the beings appear within the space.

The approaching Ancient Tree Spirits initially thought that Chaos Creatures had invaded. But when they arrived, they discovered it was the Ancient Vine Elder and a young man. Naturally, the Ancient Tree Spirits recognized the Ancient Vine Elder. Although the Ancient Vine Elder was a servant of the Ancient Tree Elder, his status in the Ancient Tree Space was still very high, and ordinary Ancient Tree Spirits would show him great respect.

"Brother Ancient Vine, is it you?"

"Brother Ancient Vine has returned!" Several Ancient Tree Spirits greeted Ancient Vine excitedly.

"Brothers!" the Ancient Vine Elder said, slightly excitedly.

"We can catch up later, brothers; let me first introduce you! This is my young master, Jing Yan!" The Ancient Vine Elder introduced Jing Yan to the Ancient Tree Spirits.

"Young Master?" Everyone was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, Young Master is the master’s successor. He has mastered the seventh layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance," nodded the Ancient Vine Elder.

Hearing the Ancient Vine Elder’s words, everyone’s expressions changed slightly, and there was a noticeable change in attitude. Previously, they were curious about who the young man beside the Ancient Vine Elder was; from his aura, he obviously wasn’t an Ancient Tree Spirit but a Chaos Creature. However, being with the Ancient Vine Elder, they did not immediately question Jing Yan’s identity.

These Ancient Tree Spirits also knew that the Ancient Tree Elder had fallen. The Ancient Tree Elder was once the War God of the Ancient Tree Space, and all Ancient Tree Spirits revered the Ancient Tree Elder.

Now that the successor to the Ancient Tree Elder had appeared, they naturally also respected Jing Yan and regarded him as a leader-like figure.

"Jing Yan, greetings to all Daoists!" Jing Yan took the initiative to speak.

These Ancient Tree Spirits emitted extremely strong auras. Jing Yan could feel that these Ancient Tree Spirits before him were all at the Chaotic Beings Control Level.

Upon hearing Jing Yan address them in this manner, the Ancient Tree Spirits shook their heads in discomfort.

"Salutations, Guardian!" The Ancient Tree Spirits bowed to Jing Yan.

Previously, the Ancient Vine Elder had also mentioned that in the Ancient Tree Space, the status of the Ancient Tree Elder was akin to that of a king in those Chaos Countries.

"Young Master, why don’t we visit the Ancient Tree Altar first!" The Ancient Vine Elder suggested.

The Ancient Tree Altar is the Holy Land in the Ancient Tree Space. In the hearts of all Ancient Tree Spirits, the Ancient Tree Altar is sacred and inviolable, symbolizing the Primordial Chaos Tree.

Almost all the Ancient Tree Spirits reside near the Ancient Tree Altar.

"Alright!" Jing Yan agreed.

The leader among the Ancient Tree Spirits immediately waved his arm. Following his movement, a gateway filled with silvery brilliance appeared in the space.

In the Ancient Tree Space, this gate is known as the Time-Space Gate. As long as it’s within the Ancient Tree Space, Ancient Tree Spirits can reach any location through the Time-Space Gate. However, in Chaos, the Time-Space Gate has no effect.

Jing Yan entered the Time-Space Gate first, followed by the Ancient Vine Elder, and then the few Ancient Tree Spirits.

When Jing Yan emerged from the Time-Space Gate, he saw a massive purple platform ahead, upon which stood a towering tree whose height was indescribable. From the tree emanated sacred aura ripples.

And around the platform, there floated forces of emptiness.

The platform Jing Yan saw was the Ancient Tree Altar. The tree on the altar was the Primordial Chaos Tree, the origin of chaos. On the Primordial Chaos Tree, some leaves were visible, as well as some purple fruits.

The Ancient Tree Seed is the core of this purple fruit.

When the fruit matures, it falls upon the altar; the flesh immediately dissolves, and the core flies out of the Ancient Tree Space, forming a universe in chaos.

In the Seed Universe, life begins to develop and is born gradually.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

After Jing Yan and others came out of the Time-Space Gate and took a breath, many figures appeared one after another.

All the Ancient Tree Spirits came over.

The Ancient Vine Elder once again introduced Jing Yan’s identity to everyone. After learning that Jing Yan was the successor of the Ancient Tree Elder, all the Ancient Tree Spirits respectfully greeted and addressed Jing Yan as the Guardian.

These Ancient Tree Spirits varied in strength, but Jing Yan could tell that the weakest among them were comparable to ordinary control level Chaos Creatures. The stronger ones were likely not inferior to the Title Controllers in chaos. The strongest among them could probably match a Chaos Giant. Though there were only a few hundred Ancient Tree Spirits, they could drive the Chaos Creature armies out of the Ancient Tree Space.
