The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1971: Chapter 1971: Ancestor’s Dharma Body Shattered

Jing Yan felt that he had stepped into the Controller Level, but at this moment he had no additional energy to ponder these matters.

The blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree, although Jing Yan only needed to passively accept it, his Divine Soul could not remain idle. The Blessing Power required careful guidance. The amount of Blessing Power was fixed, and how much could be gained depended on Jing Yan himself.

Moreover, Jing Yan also needed to constantly sense the Secret Technique of the Ancient Tree Inheritance. The Blessing Power could directly allow Jing Yan to comprehend various information about the Secret Technique of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, but if he obtained it and didn’t know how to use it, that would be quite a predicament.

After a while longer.

The mysterious and magical power descending from the Primordial Chaos Tree finally began to slowly fade away. After absorbing the last trace of Blessing Power from the Primordial Chaos Tree, Jing Yan opened his eyes.

The entire blessing process was actually very short, about half a cup of tea.

Jing Yan tried to activate the Ancient Tree Inheritance, and immediately his eyes squinted.

"How powerful!" On the surface of Jing Yan’s body, a dense purple color appeared.

"The Eighth Layer of Ancient Tree Inheritance!"

"I didn’t directly grasp the Ninth Floor of the Secret Technique, but I’m already very close to the Ninth Floor." Jing Yan thought silently.

The Ancient Tree Inheritance has a total of nine layers, and currently Jing Yan has not fully mastered the Ninth Floor. However, reaching his current level of mastery already allows Jing Yan to understand almost everything about the Ancient Tree Inheritance. He knows very well that he is very close to the Ninth Floor, and with continued cultivation, in no time, he will be able to fully master the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

Withdrawing the Ancient Tree Inheritance, the purple light on his body surface disappeared.

At this moment, a ball of blue light slowly descended above Jing Yan’s head.

"Huh?" Jing Yan instinctively looked up.

The blue halo gradually approached Jing Yan. Within the blue halo, there were some leaves from the Primordial Chaos Tree and a purple fruit.

Jing Yan reached out, his fingers touching the blue halo, and after a flicker of blue light, it disappeared, leaving the leaves and fruit in Jing Yan’s hands.

"Nine leaves, one fruit!" Jing Yan looked at the items in his hand.

This was a gift from the Primordial Chaos Tree to Jing Yan, apart from the blessing.

"Thank you, Primordial Chaos Tree!" Jing Yan stood under the Primordial Chaos Tree and bowed in thanks to its trunk.

Afterward, Jing Yan turned and left the Ancient Tree Altar.

The Ancient Vine Elder and numerous Ancient Tree Spirits were still standing there, each one watching Jing Yan.

"Young Master, you have entered the Controller Level now."

The Ancient Vine Elder was the first to speak.

"Congratulations, Guardian Master!" The other Ancient Tree Spirits also congratulated Jing Yan.

"It’s due to the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree. Without it, relying on my own cultivation, it would definitely take a long time before I could step into the Controller Realm." Jing Yan replied modestly.

"As the Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space, it’s natural for you to receive the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree." The Ancient Vine Elder chuckled.

"Guardian Master, since you’ve just received the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree, do you need a secluded place for a retreat?" The Ancient Mountain asked Jing Yan.

"Yes, I indeed need to sort out my thoughts." Jing Yan nodded. "By the way, the Primordial Chaos Tree gave me some leaves and a fruit. I know how to use the leaves, but how should I use this fruit?"

"Young Master, this fruit is much more precious than the leaves." The Ancient Vine Elder smiled. "The seed can nurture a universe, which will be a universe belonging to you. As for the pulp, you can slowly explore how to absorb its energy."

"Alright!" Jing Yan nodded, his eyes shining brightly.

A universe of his own?

Jing Yan put away the fruit and leaves, then went into a building to begin his retreat.

Hongjun Heavenly Palace!

While Jing Yan was in the Ancient Tree Space, receiving the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree, a fearful atmosphere engulfed the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!" The bell tolls echoed leisurely inside the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

Inside the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall, Vice Palace Master Quin wore a panicked expression, his body slightly trembling, and his eyes full of intense fright.

All the Chaos Hall Masters within the Heavenly Palace gathered at the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall at the fastest speed, with grave expressions on their faces.

Because, just now, they heard the bell toll nine times.

In the history of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, the nine bell tolls have only occurred once, which was long ago when the Devouring Sky Clan attacked the Ultimate Land. And today, the nine bell tolls reverberated once again.

The appearance of the nine bell tolls indicates a monumental event, a matter that concerns the life and death of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

"Vice Palace Master, what has happened?"

"Is there some major movement by the Devouring Sky Clan? Previously, the super wormhole established by the Devouring Sky Clan in the Western Region has been destroyed. Is there some change now?"

Several Chaos Hall Masters looked at Vice Palace Master Quin.

"Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen!" Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen, who managed the Heavenly Palace Treasure Vault, quickly arrived at the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall from the vault.

Vice Palace Master Quin looked at Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen, then looked at the Chaos Hall Masters present.

"Ancestor..." Vice Palace Master Quin’s lips trembled.

The others saw Vice Palace Master Quin’s expression, and their hearts grew even heavier.

"Vice Palace Master, what happened to Ancestor? Have you contacted him? Or has Ancestor sent a message back?" Niao Cheng Palace Master asked.

Vice Palace Master Quin shook his head.

"Vice Palace Master, what exactly has happened?" Yang Yan Palace Master asked urgently.

"Phew!" Quin exhaled a breath.

"The Ancestor’s Dharma Body within the Reincarnation Path is shattered!" Vice Palace Master Quin finally spoke the words.

Ancestor Hong Jun had a Dharma Body in the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall, and the body had always been within the Treasure of Palace Reincarnation Path. Just a moment ago, Vice Palace Master Quin sensed something unusual with the Ancestor’s Dharma Body and came to investigate. The sight that met him stunned him – the Ancestor’s Dharma Body within the Reincarnation Path was actually shattered.

Under normal circumstances, the Ancestor’s Dharma Body should be impossible to shatter. Its shattering suggests... Ancestor Hong Jun has fallen.

This is unimaginable.

Ancestor Hong Jun was a Title Controller, one of the titans of the Endless Chaos.

For the Controllers of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, it’s difficult to imagine that Ancestor Hong Jun would fall. What kind of person or danger within the Endless Chaos could threaten the life of Ancestor Hong Jun?

Vice Palace Master Quin, upon first witnessing the shattered Dharma Body of the Ancestor, couldn’t react for a moment; it took him a full breath’s time to confirm he wasn’t mistaken. Immediately, he sounded the Heavenly Palace Bell, ringing it nine times.

Upon hearing Vice Palace Master Quin’s words, those present were all momentarily stunned.

They knew that the nine rings of the Heavenly Palace Bell signified a major event, but none expected it would be because the Ancestor’s Dharma Body had shattered. They all knew what it meant for the Ancestor’s Dharma Body to shatter.·
