The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1970: Chapter 1970: Stepping Into the Controller Realm

The Ancient Tree Space is undoubtedly the strongest faction within Endless Chaos, but now the Primordial Chaos Tree faces threats not only from the Chaos Creatures.

Based on numerous pieces of information verified by the Ancient Tree Elder, it can be concluded that there is a more perilous enemy eyeing this chaos and the Primordial Chaos Tree covetously. As strong as the Ancient Tree Elder was, he met his end mysteriously. That enemy from Beyond Chaos, no one knows when they will make another move.

It is certain that they are plotting something in secret.

”Guardian, my name is Gu Shan!”

”Guardian, my name is Gu Shi!”

”My name is Gu Chen...”

The Ancient Tree Spirits all introduced themselves to Jing Yan. These spirits all bore the surname ’Gu’ and had simple names, but they didn’t particularly care about their names. The main reason for having a name was to easily distinguish one from another.

”Ladies and gentlemen, you may just call me by my name, Jing Yan!” After hundreds of Ancient Tree Spirits had finished introducing themselves, Jing Yan spoke.

These Ancient Tree Spirits, each stronger than the next, even the weakest among them had a realm higher than his own. Being addressed as ’Guardian,’ by them felt unfamiliar to Jing Yan.

”That won’t do!”

”You are the Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space!”

The Ancient Tree Spirits all shook their heads, even the Ancient Vine Elder said it wouldn’t do. Although Jing Yan’s current strength was not considered very strong, he was indeed the true Guardian of the Ancient Tree Space, the leader of the Ancient Tree Space.

Seeing this, Jing Yan couldn’t insist and could only let these Ancient Tree Spirits do as they pleased.

”Young Master, when do you plan to receive the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree?” The Ancient Vine Elder asked Jing Yan.

”Can it be done at any time? What preparations are needed to receive the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree?” Jing Yan asked the Ancient Vine Elder.

”It can be done at any time, and no preparation is needed. Young Master, if you plan to receive the blessing now, you may ascend the Ancient Tree Altar immediately.” The Ancient Vine Elder replied with a smile.

”Alright!” Jing Yan nodded.

”However...” Jing Yan frowned slightly and said, ”It seems there’s a powerful barrier surrounding the Ancient Tree Altar. I can feel the strong power of the barrier, how should I enter?”

”Young Master, there’s no need to worry. The Primordial Chaos Tree is aware of everything. From the moment you entered the Ancient Tree Space, the Primordial Chaos Tree understood your identity. It won’t stop you from ascending the Ancient Tree Altar.” The Ancient Vine Elder explained.

”Oh? Let me give it a try!” Jing Yan’s eyes lit up.

Then, he walked towards the Ancient Tree Altar.

Soon, he arrived before the barrier. This barrier surrounding the Ancient Tree Altar was indeed formidable. The barrier was probably the last line of defense of the Primordial Chaos Tree. If this barrier were to be breached, the Primordial Chaos Tree would truly be in danger. The Primordial Chaos Tree itself has few means of attack, mostly relying on some vines or other elements for attack, but these vines don’t have very strong attack power. Combat power like that of the Ancient Vine Elder is likely only at the level of a Title Controller.

Jing Yan continued forward, coming into contact with the barrier.

As the Ancient Vine Elder had said, the barrier did not impede Jing Yan, and he smoothly ascended the Ancient Tree Altar.

He sat cross-legged beneath the Primordial Chaos Tree.

On the perimeter of the Ancient Tree Altar, the Ancient Vine Elder and many Ancient Tree Spirits stood watching Jing Yan.

”Guardian, your current realm doesn’t seem very high, yet you’ve already mastered the Seventh Layer Ancient Tree Inheritance, it’s quite impressive. I believe it won’t be long before you reach the Controller Level.” Gu Chen chimed in.

”Brother Gute, how did you find the Guardian?” An Ancient Tree Spirit asked the Ancient Vine Elder.

The Ancient Vine Elder recounted the events to the group.

”I truly did not expect the young master to master the Seventh Layer Ancient Tree Inheritance so quickly. Before him, some had entered the relic left by the master and practiced the Ancient Tree Inheritance within, but none managed to reach the seventh layer.” The Ancient Vine Elder sighed.

”Indeed!”

”Our Ancient Tree Space, and the entire chaos, is filled with danger. I hope the Guardian can swiftly master the Ninth Layer Ancient Tree Inheritance and lead us in protecting the Ancient Tree Space.” Gu Shan nodded.

”With the young master’s talent and potential, upon receiving the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Tree, he should directly master the Eighth Layer Ancient Tree Inheritance. Perhaps, he might even master the Ninth Layer.” The Ancient Vine Elder squinted.

”If the Guardian masters the Ninth Layer Ancient Tree Inheritance, his power should rival those Title Controllers within chaos.” Gu Shi commented, gazing at Jing Yan seated beneath the Primordial Chaos Tree.

On the Ancient Tree Altar, Jing Yan kept his eyes closed.

Soon, Jing Yan felt a mystical force descending from above, enveloping him.

This force was brimming with life force. When Jing Yan previously used the Primordial Ancient Tree Leaves, he sensed the powerful life force contained within.

”This is...” Jing Yan didn’t resist.

”Could this be the blessing power of the Primordial Chaos Tree?” Jing Yan felt the mystical force slowly entering his body.

In just the blink of an eye, Jing Yan sensed new changes in his Ancient Tree Inheritance Secret Method. This force was guiding a continual breakthrough in the Secret Technique. Before long, Jing Yan’s Ancient Tree Inheritance was close to breaking through to the Eighth Layer.

The power of the Primordial Chaos Tree was extremely mysterious and unpredictable.

The Ancient Tree Spirits within the Ancient Tree Space were all born of the Primordial Chaos Tree’s power. These spirits were innately capable of mastering powerful secret techniques. Although Jing Yan wasn’t an Ancient Tree Spirit, he practiced the Ancient Tree Inheritance and mastered the seventh layer, earning the acknowledgment of the Primordial Chaos Tree.

Under the power of the Primordial Chaos Tree, Jing Yan’s Ancient Tree Inheritance advanced rapidly.

A moment later!

”Buzz!” Jing Yan felt a slight tremor, his Ancient Tree Inheritance had smoothly advanced from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer.

Furthermore, it continued to rise.

After the breakthrough to the Eighth Layer, Jing Yan’s realm underwent a significant change. Originally at the Peak of All Things Realm, with the breakthrough of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, the barriers of the All Things Realm were easily shattered. Jing Yan naturally stepped into the Controller Level.

From the All Things Realm to the Controller Level, this was typically a challenging step. Across the entire Endless Chaos, there were few beings at the Controller Level. Just within one of the Ultimate Forces, the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, there were only two Vice Palace Masters and nine Chaos Hall Masters at this level. Yet, Jing Yan at this moment had reached the level of a Chaos Hall Master.
