Chapter 3358: Soul Recovery (5)
The Jade Heaven Ruler stared coldly at the Blood Slaughter Ruler with the twelve ancestral imprints over her head.
Before her, the Blood Slaughter Ruler was dumbfounded. He stared at her blankly. He was in a daze.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent as if the air had frozen and time had stopped. Everything paused at that moment.
Only after several seconds did the Blood Slaughter Ruler finally return to his senses. He stared at her in a still-shaken manner and stuttered, “W-w-where are your ancestral imprints from?”
The Jade Heaven Ruler sneered. “Aren’t you all too familiar with where my ancestral imprints are from? Why bother asking at all?”
“No, that’s impossible. That’s absolutely impossible.” The Blood Slaughter Ruler babbled in a daze. His face was filled with disbelief. He understood better than anyone else just how difficult the ancestral imprints were to obtain, as he had entered the maze more than once in the past.
Each ancestral imprint was guarded by lingering wills of experts, which were very difficult to deal with. Without any special methods, they could not even be killed.
When he entered this time, he spent an entire century and a large quantity of recovery God Tier pills. He paid a tremendous price, and even then, he had not obtained any ancestral imprints.
Meanwhile, the Jade Heaven Ruler had actually gained seven ancestral imprints from a single visit. How could he accept that?
The Blood Slaughter Ruler let out a furious roar as if something had deeply upset him mentally. He became deranged, launching full-powered attacks at the Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler.
This time, the Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler faced him together. In particular, the Jade Heaven Ruler had gained far too much strength from the twelve ancestral imprints. Even if she faced the Blood Slaughter Ruler alone, she could still gain the upper hand.
Now that she had the Heaven Fighting Ruler by her side as well, they directly overwhelmed the unstoppable Blood Slaughter Ruler with their cooperation.
The three rulers fought for three days and nights,which ultimately ended with the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s defeat.
The Wood Spirits World returned to peace with that.
In the blink of an eye, it had already been five decades since Jian Chen entered the maze a second time. During these fifty years, he rapidly exhausted the heavenly resources he brought in from the outside, which brought him ancestral imprint after ancestral imprint.
On this day, Jian Chen was not searching through the maze for ancestral imprints like usual. Instead, he had entered a divine hall and sat down beside a spiritual field. Gazing at the Lifesoul Flowers that had only just reached the supreme grade of Saint Tier, he could not help but smile gently.
“This is the third batch of Lifesoul Flowers. If nothing goes wrong, this batch should be enough for me to recover my fourth strand of Profound Sword Qi.” As he said that, Jian Chen waved his hand and collected all of the Lifesoul Flowers before quickly refining them into droplets of fluid.
Afterwards, Jian Chen left the divine hall and explored the maze alone.
By now, he had completely stopped thinking about where the maze led or what kind of secret it was hiding, nor did he consider where its exit was located. He completely and utterly treated this place as a land of treasure for collecting ancestral imprints.
When Jian Chen made another turn, his field of vision suddenly opened up. There was an extremely spacious chamber right before his eyes instead of the usual monotone corridor.
The feeling it gave him was like he had finally made it out of the maze and reached the centre.
However, when Jian Chen scanned past the spacious opening, he immediately stiffened. His face turned blank. Only his eyes were filled with shock, staring straight ahead.
A large number of ancestral imprints hovered in the spacious opening before him.
No, they could not be called ancestral imprints anymore if he wanted to be accurate, as ancestral imprints were condensed from presence, separated strand by strand.
Right before him was an entire swathe of it!
It was an entire swathe of the sovereign god artifact’s presence, floating in the air like a thick cloud, both thick and dense, like it was about to solidify.
If an ancestral imprint was a droplet of water, then the amount right before his eyes was a small lake.
The exact number of water droplets in the lake had already become immeasurable.
The giant swathe of presence of the sovereign god artifact left Jian Chen utterly shocked. He had never felt so excited in his life.
There was not just a tremendous amount of the sovereign god artifact’s presence here. Most importantly, there were actually no lingering wills guarding them!
“There are no lingering wills here. Doesn’t that mean that I can just collect all the ancestral imprints here freely?” Tremendous joy filled Jian Chen.
However, he did not become blinded by his emotions. He forcefully held back his excitement and checked the surroundings quickly.
After confirming there were no dangers, he directly entered the cloud of presence and took out the divine hall with the Lifesoul Flowers, letting the doors swing wide open and sucking in the presence in the surroundings.
Immediately, a colossal swirl formed in the centre of the spacious opening. The presence of the sovereign god artifact there was all swallowed by the divine hall.
This time, it was not strand by strand, but cloud by cloud, endlessly without stop.
All of the presence of the sovereign god artifact absorbed entered the spiritual fields.
The spiritual fields that were nourished were not just individual plots either. Instead, all of the spiritual fields were nourished at the same time.
The dense presence enveloped every single Lifesoul Flower, such that they immediately grew at an unprecedented rate.
Jian Chen’s smile only grew wider as he stood beside the spiritual fields. At that moment, his excitement could no longer be put into words.
Irrigated by the presence of the sovereign god artifact, it only took three years before all of Jian Chen’s Lifesoul Flowers evolved to the supreme grade of Saint Tier, and there was still some presence left over.
Jian Chen did not stop. He continued to pour the presence into them, wanting to produce a few God Tier Lifesoul Flowers.
However, he noticed very soon that after they had evolved to supreme grade Saint Tier, they were unable to grow to God Tier no matter how much presence he poured into them.
“Saint Tier to God Tier is a change in intrinsic properties. The limit of the presence is that it can only accelerate the growth of Saint Tier heavenly resources. If I want them to reach God Tier, I’ll probably need a higher level of energy.” Jian Chen immediately understood the underlying principles and gave up on the thought of raising some God Tier Lifesoul Flowers. He stowed all of the heavenly resources away.
By now, only a tiny amount of the sovereign god artifact’s presence remained in the spacious opening.
Perhaps because there was far too little, they struggled to remain as a cloud. The tiny amount of presence began to separate automatically, forming ancestral imprints very soon.
There were over a hundred and fifty of them in total!
Over a hundred ancestral imprints. That was something no one could think of in the Wood Spirits World.
After all, all the ancestral imprints in the Wood Spirits World right now only reached up to the thirties.
Jian Chen picked up an ancestral imprint and sent a wisp of his soul inside to make it his before closely comprehending the changes brought on by the ancestral imprint.
“The ancestral imprint contains the power of laws, which seem to be the Laws of Wood and the Laws of Life. Anyone who has comprehended these two laws can increase their battle prowess by a slight degree with ancestral imprints, but I haven’t comprehended these two laws, so the ancestral imprints have no effect on me in this regard.”
“As for its regenerative properties, that has to do with its connection with the sovereign god artifact of the Wood Spirits, drawing in a wisp of its power without anyone knowing. It also relies on absorbing the energy that the sovereign god artifact gives up to replenish itself.”
“Once it leaves the sovereign god artifact or enters a world different from the sovereign god artifact, the so-called ancestral imprints will dissipate very quickly.”
After studying it, Jian Chen discovered very soon that ancestral imprints were basically useless to him. Their greatest value was for accelerating the growth of heavenly resources.
“Its presence can accelerate the growth of heavenly resources. Can the sovereign god artifact itself accelerate the growth of heavenly resources as well? Its presence can accelerate Saint Tier heavenly resources, so can the sovereign god artifact itself accelerate God Tier heavenly resources?” Jian Chen began to look forward to obtaining the sovereign god artifact, the Source of Life, more and more.
“Whatever. I’ll heal my soul for now!” Jian Chen immediately stowed the ancestral imprints away and began refining the Lifesoul Flowers.
This time, there were over ten thousand Lifesoul Flowers that had reached supreme grade Saint Tier. They were also all of the Lifesoul Flowers on him.
