The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2081: Longing Under the Purple Fru Tree

If no new calamities appear, within Chaos, everything will slowly recover.

But Jing Yan is not so relaxed.

Because, Luo Dejie is not truly dead. What was destroyed within this Chaos was merely Luo Dejie’s Dharma Body; his true body still remains.

Now that Jing Yan himself has also nurtured a Dharma Body, he understands its importance. Losing the Dharma Body deals great damage to the true body, but as long as the true body remains, it is still alive.

From the last words Luo Dejie spoke, it is clear that he hasn’t given up on this Chaos. If this Chaos doesn’t completely collapse, Luo Dejie might still return. Moreover, even if Luo Dejie doesn’t return, others might yet attempt to seize this Chaos.

Jing Yan now knows more information and understands why Luo Dejie wants to seize a Chaos.

If a life can control a Chaos, it can truly become undying. For instance, the current Jing Yan, as long as he remains within this Chaos, cannot die. You could say that, to some extent, Jing Yan is invincible within this Chaos. This Chaos belongs to Jing Yan.

During the life-and-death battle with Luo Dejie, the Primordial Chaos Tree infused all its Life Force into Jing Yan’s body, making him a half-step Chaos Controller. But at that time, the Chaos Origin Will was greatly damaged, severely impacting even the Supreme Rule, weakening the Chaos’s defense and attack capabilities greatly.

Later, Jing Yan willingly sacrificed all his Life Force to repair the Chaos. Jing Yan thought he would die, yet didn’t expect a sliver of life in what was destined to be a dead end.

The Chaos Origin Will protected Jing Yan’s True Spirit, allowing him Nirvana Rebirth. This process consumed millions of years, but Jing Yan truly came back to life and successfully nurtured a Dharma Body.

Jing Yan’s ability to nurture a Dharma Body also relates to his Active Will within the purple giant egg. If Jing Yan hadn’t proactively nurtured it, even after rebirth, he would only have a true body, not a Dharma Body.

Nirvana Rebirth brought significant changes besides allowing Jing Yan to nurture a Dharma Body. Jing Yan has essentially lost all his strength. Speaking of realm, Jing Yan is now at the Taoist Realm level. This realm was granted by the new physical body; otherwise, he’d be an ordinary person.

Jing Yan’s body can be considered a Primordial Body, which Luo Dejie refers to as the Undying Immortal Body.

It’s also true that Jing Yan is this Chaos. As long as he’s within this Chaos, almost no one can kill him. Even if Luo Dejie descends again, he can’t kill Jing Yan. And because this Chaos now has Jing Yan as its master, its active defense capability is incomparable to before.

The initial Chaos only instinctively defended against outsiders, instinctively suppressed the strength of invaders, giving Luo Dejie significant opportunity. But with Jing Yan now as the master, should Luo Dejie try to invade again, he would need to pay a greater price, and if he does enter, Jing Yan could kill him. Jing Yan no longer worries that Luo Dejie will invade and seize the Chaos but worries Luo Dejie might cause harm to it.

Luo Dejie, beyond Chaos, can exert his full power. Although it’s difficult to destroy this Chaos from outside, his relentless pursuit of destruction can ultimately inflict harm upon it.

Moreover, even if Luo Dejie doesn’t return, Jing Yan wishes for revenge. Luo Dejie killed so many Chaos Creatures, inflicting substantial damage on this Chaos, and Jing Yan harbors a strong desire in his heart to kill Luo Dejie and avenge those fallen lives.

Yet in Jing Yan’s current circumstances, revenge seems unattainable.

He’s nearly invincible within this Chaos, but outside it, he’s merely a small creature of Taoist Realm.

There’s another significant change in Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body.

Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body has been purified. Before the calamity, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body was truly powerful, undeniably the strongest within Chaos. Yet, at that time, the Divine Soul Body contained many impurities. These impurities were unseen and untouchable but genuinely existed.

After Nirvana, those impurities were entirely purged, leaving Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body utterly pure, without any trace of impurity. This pure Divine Soul Body isn’t necessarily stronger in total than before the calamity, but in quality, it surpasses the previous state.

With such a pure Divine Soul Body, Jing Yan can directly unleash Divine Soul Attack power. He can freely manipulate the Supreme Rule within this Chaos, making soul obliteration child’s play. Even beyond Chaos, relying on his pure Divine Soul Body, he can still perform Divine Soul Attacks independently, without Little Green’s aid.

With a pure Divine Soul Body, his cultivation speed beyond Chaos will be incredibly fast.

In fact, what restricts the realms of Chaos Creatures is essentially the Divine Soul Body. Before, while Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body was strong, attaining a realm beyond Chaos seemed impossible. Other Chaos Creatures experienced the same.

Why couldn’t those Title Controllers progress in billions of years? It’s due to limitations from the Divine Soul Body.

Now, though Jing Yan’s realm is merely the pitiable Taoist Realm, his potential is far greater. Even leaving this Chaos, he can rapidly elevate his realm again.

...

”I’m back!”

Jing Yan, in a white robe, returned to his hometown universe.

His relatives and family are still within the universe.

Gao Feng, Bai Xue, and his children have stayed in the universe all along.

Gao Feng and the others have heard about the events in Chaos; Jing Yan’s hometown universe has many connections with Chaos, and many lives from the universe entered Chaos for cultivation. So Gao Feng and others heard about Jing Yan’s sacrificial demise for repairing Chaos.

At the universe center, Sky Creation City.

Jing Yun is still the Sky Creation City Council’s Councilman.

For the past million years, Gao Feng, Bai Xue, and the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix have resided in Sky Creation City. Jing Dongxue frequently stays in Sky Creation City as well.

When they first heard of Jing Yan’s demise, one can imagine how great their grief was.

Even after a few million years, their faces seldom show a smile.

Bai Xue has not appeared for millions of years, secluding herself in a courtyard in Sky Creation City, seeing no one.

Bai Xue remains reclusive in the separate courtyard, rarely practicing cultivation. Instead, she spends most of her time sitting, lost in thought, under a Purple Fru Tree in the courtyard, unmoving for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, as if petrified.

The air in the courtyard is saturated with the scent of longing and sorrow.
