The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1857: Chapter

The Ancient Tree Inheritance is a form of Body Refining Inheritance.

In fact, the life forms within the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space are essentially semi-plant life entities, and their physical bodies are not inherently strong. The Secret Techniques they practice also primarily focus on Body Refinement.

Of course, the inheritance that Jing Yan is now receiving is extremely rare, even within the Ancient Tree Space. This inheritance is the Ultimate Inheritance, theoretically allowing one to surpass the ultimate when cultivated to its peak. The Ancient Tree Elder practiced this Secret Technique.

However, cultivating a Body Refining Secret Method is more resource-consuming compared to a Principle Secret Method. Jing Yan deeply understands this, as he expended astonishing resources cultivating the Ten Thousand Realms Technique. Elder Guten mentioned that Jing Yan had practiced a good Body Refining Secret Method, referring to the Ten Thousand Realms Technique. In his home universe, the Ten Thousand Realms Technique is the strongest Body Refining Secret Method. In the Endless Chaos, the Ten Thousand Realms Technique is just considered decent. Even when Jing Yan cultivated it to its utmost, his physical body’s strength could only be considered basic.

After all, the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor who created the Ten Thousand Realms Technique was only at the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm at that time.

”Jing Yan, from now on, you are the Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space.”

”I have some things to give you. You have obtained the Ancient Tree Inheritance and will need a vast amount of resources for cultivation. I hope these things can help you a little.”

As Elder Guten spoke, he took out a golden ring.

Jing Yan immediately recognized that this was a storage bracelet.

”Inside, there are some resources needed for cultivating the Ten Thousand Realms Technique, but it’s only enough for your initial use. Later on, you’ll have to find your own way to acquire resources.” Elder Guten handed the golden bracelet to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan accepted it without hesitation.

With a surge of Divine Thought, he penetrated the bracelet’s internal space.

Goodness!

The quantity of resources inside utterly startled Jing Yan.

Just the Star Stones alone likely numbered in the millions. The varieties of resources within the bracelet were few; apart from Star Stones, the others were all related to Body Refinement.

A rough estimate placed the value of these resources no less than thirty million Star Stones. Yet these resources were only sufficient for Jing Yan’s initial cultivation of the Ancient Tree Inheritance Secret Method.

”Thank you, Elder Guten.” Jing Yan expressed his gratitude.

”No need to thank me. These resources were left by the master. Although it’s not much, there’s nothing more I can do. This is the rule set by the master. This ruin will continue to remain open, and in the future, many other life forms may enter. If a suitable life form appears, they too might become the Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space.” Guten said.

The Ancient Tree Guardian is not singular.

”Understood.” Jing Yan nodded.

The Ancient Tree Elder created and left behind this ruin; it wouldn’t close just because Jing Yan became the Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space. After all, Jing Yan’s current strength was still weak, and who could guarantee that he wouldn’t fall during cultivation? To be cautious, if all the treasures of the Ancient Tree Elder’s ruins were given to Jing Yan and he was later killed by others, these resources would fall into their hands.

Therefore, Elder Guten only providing some resources to Jing Yan was quite reasonable.

”Jing Yan, if one day you manage to cultivate the Ancient Tree Inheritance to the seventh layer, then you may return and take over these ruins. As you may have realized, this ruin itself is a powerful Space-Time Treasure.” A glint of expectation flickered in Elder Guten’s eyes as he spoke.

It seemed he was also looking forward to seeing Jing Yan again.

”I can return after cultivating the Ancient Tree Inheritance to the seventh layer?” Jing Yan asked.

The Ancient Tree Inheritance, like the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, comprises nine layers at its maximum.

”Yes! When you cultivate the Ancient Tree Inheritance to the seventh layer, you will naturally know how to return to this ruin.” Elder Guten nodded.

”I understand.” Jing Yan replied.

”This is also for you!” Elder Guten raised his palm, and immediately there appeared two green leaves in his hand.

As these two green leaves appeared, the entire palace was engulfed by a rich Life Aura. The overwhelming Life Force seemed capable of elevating one’s Divine Soul.

Jing Yan stared at these two leaves, a look of astonishment on his face.

What are these?

They looked like tree leaves, yet the Life Force was incredibly formidable, extremely pure, and dense.

”These are two leaves from the Primordial Chaos Tree. Jing Yan, you can only have these two. These leaves are extremely precious, even ultimate strong people covet them. So, you must be careful. If others know you possess these, even the ultimate strong people might turn on you.” Elder Guten explained.

”Leaves from the Primordial Chaos Tree?” Jing Yan’s eyes widened.

”Take them! You can use one now, and after you step into the All Things Realm, you can use the other.” Elder Guten passed the leaves from the Primordial Chaos Tree to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan subconsciously took them.

”Follow me again!” Elder Guten said.

Jing Yan followed Elder Guten to the depths of the palace, near the inner wall. It was only upon reaching the inner vicinity that Jing Yan noticed, the walls had images etched into them. The markings were so light they couldn’t be seen from afar.

”What is this...?” Jing Yan frowned.

These images were quite peculiar, featuring a flavor of Space-Time.

Could this be a Secret Technique related to Space-Time?

Just one glance and Jing Yan felt himself being drawn in, unable to pull away. He swiftly shook his Divine Soul Body to snap out of it.

”This is a kind of Spell left by the master.” Guten said.

”Elder, is this a Space-Time Secret Technique?” Jing Yan asked.

”No, it’s not a Space-Time script. Yet, in a way, it’s related. Jing Yan, this is actually Gravity Magic.” Guten explained.

”Gravity?” Jing Yan furrowed his brows.

”Yes! Gravity! In the Endless Chaos, gravity transcends all elements. Even Space-Time is subject to gravity’s constraints.” Guten said.

Hearing Guten’s words, Jing Yan suddenly realized something.

In his home universe, Jing Yan had mastered the Gravity Domain quite early on. Fundamentally, gravity is essentially gravitational force. At that time, he realized when gravity became strong enough, time and space couldn’t escape its grip. When gravity is sufficiently strong, it can easily twist space-time and alter order.

”Jing Yan, you can attempt to learn this Spell here. During the master’s life, apart from Body Refinement, he was most devoted to and researched gravity the most. These images were left by the master based on his research.” Guten pointed to the wall.

”Hmm, I’ll give it a try. These images look very complex, it’s difficult to say if I can comprehend them.” Jing Yan said.

This wasn’t a direct inheritance, but required Jing Yan to learn and memorize himself, and whether he could comprehend it depended on his own understanding.

Jing Yan focused on the wall, starting with the first image. Meanwhile, Elder Guten had quietly stepped back.
