3352: Ancestral God Artifact

The Jade Heaven Ruler thought about it a little and said, “These five lingering wills are very powerful. With my strength, I can only keep one of them busy, just barely, and I’m incapable of killing it. However, the Blood Slaughter Ruler must have entered here before. The three ancestral imprints that he suddenly gained must have been from here too.”

“Since the Blood Slaughter Ruler was capable of obtaining three ancestral imprints from here, we must be able to too. I just wonder how the Blood Slaughter Ruler dealt with the lingering wills of experts that guard the ancestral imprints.”

“Or perhaps not every ancestral imprint is guarded by lingering wills? If that’s the case, it’s possible for us to search for those ancestral imprints that aren’t protected.”

Jian Chen shook his head. He disagreed with what the Jade Heaven Ruler said. He countered, “I’m afraid it’s not as simple as you think. If I’ve guessed correctly, these lingering wills of experts can only maintain their existence by remaining by the ancestral imprint. Once they lose the ancestral imprint, they probably won’t last for long. They’ll dissipate in the wind and vanish from the world forever.”

“As a result, I suspect that even if there are many ancestral imprints in the maze, there will definitely be something like the lingering wills guarding them.”

“What makes you so confident about that?” The Jade Heaven Ruler furrowed her brows. Just a single ancestral imprint possessed five lingering wills that were no weaker than her.

There were definitely far more than one ancestral imprint in the maze. If what Jian Chen said was true, such that every single ancestral imprint was guarded by similar lingering wills, then it would be far too terrifying.

After all, each lingering will was so powerful that they were all on par with rulers in the Wood Spirits World. So many experts equivalent to rulers suddenly appearing was simply unbelievable.

Most importantly, they were all products of their wills after these experts had perished, so just how terrifying were they supposed to be when they were still alive?

As someone completely ignorant of the Saints’ World, the Jade Heaven Ruler struggled to imagine what kind of place it was to be able to produce so many terrifying figures.

“I understand them better than you. They’re far too ancient. They’re not figures from this aeon. They’ve existed here for far too long. After so much time, there are no lingering wills that can last until now, yet they have somehow managed that.” Jian Chen was solemn.

“Are ancestral imprints really that powerful? Such that the lingering wills of five experts can last until now?” The Jade Heaven Ruler was surprised.

“Perhaps you can’t attribute it completely to the ancestral imprint. It might have something to do with this place too.” Jian Chen looked around and focused on the walls of the maze. “If I’ve guessed correctly, we might be inside the ancestral god artifact right now. Even if we’re not inside the ancestral god artifact, this must have something to do with the ancestral god artifact.”

“What did you say? We’re inside the ancestral god artifact?” The Jade Heaven Ruler was stunned. She immediately recalled the green sun that hung in the sky the entire time.

“This is only my guess. It might not be true,” said Jian Chen as his eyes shone with a strange light.

The power of the Dao Union Saint’s curse existed in his body. He had forced this power into his legs and trapped it there, but as long as the curse remained, he could not return to his peak condition.

The power of the curse was something that even the Wind Venerable was powerless about despite already becoming a sovereign of the world. iｎ????????????α????. ????????????

The only way to remove the curse was through the sovereign god artifact of the Wood Spirits, the Source of Life! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovelEnglish.net

“It’s a pity that the sword spirits are currently slumbering. Otherwise, with their ability, they’ll be able to recognise whether we’re in the sovereign god artifact or not with a single glance,” Jian Chen thought. He could only tell from the toughness of the surrounding walls that it was a high quality god artifact at the very least. He had an idea over whether it was actually the sovereign god artifact, but he was not certain about it.

“Let me try one last idea. Let’s see whether it’s enough to deal with these lingering wills,” said Jian Chen. Afterwards, he flew towards the ancestral imprint again.

The Jade Heaven Ruler followed closely behind.

Very soon, Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler returned there, but they did not get too close this time. They remained at least thirty thousand metres away from the five figures.

The Jade Heaven Ruler’s eyes rippled as she stared straight at Jian Chen, wanting to see what else he was capable of.

But at this moment, a powerful sword intent suddenly appeared. As soon as it emerged, the Jade Heaven Ruler shuddered inside and backed away instinctively.

A strand of Profound Sword Qi appeared over Jian Chen’s head. It was only the size of a finger, shining with blinding light, enough to make the surroundings pale in comparison.

Swish!

In the next moment, the Profound Sword Qi shot out, directly bypassing the distance between them and arriving beside one of the figures instantly.

The five figures opened their eyes simultaneously, about to launch an attack subconsciously.

However, the Profound Sword Qi was faster than everything. They did not even have the time to strike before it landed on one of the figures.

There were no startling rumbles, nor any surging storms of energy. The Profound Sword Qi shot into the lingering will silently. The two energies seemed to collide violently, causing the illusionary figure to immediately twist dramatically.

Three seconds later, the Profound Sword Qi vanished, but the lingering will that was struck collapsed as well, dispersing as a wisp.

These lingering wills were actually a form of soul energy, while the Profound Sword Qi specially targeted the soul, so it happened to be the bane of these lingering wills.

The disappearance of the figure immediately made Jian Chen’s eyes shine brightly. He smiled in relief.

The Jade Heaven Ruler’s expression was extremely mixed. She stared at Jian Chen closely and said, “You actually have more of this trump card. Just how many more times can you use it?”

Jian Chen smiled. “Jade Heaven Ruler, do you think my trump card is some kind of powerful secret treasure?”

“Isn’t it?” The Jade Heaven Ruler’s eyes narrowed.

“It isn’t. It’s a secret technique that I practise. It can be replenished once used, so technically, I can use it as many times as I want.” Jian Chen smiled calmly.

The Jade Heaven Ruler shuddered when she heard that. The way she looked at Jian Chen changed drastically.

In the next moment, Jian Chen launched another strand of Profound Sword Qi, dissipating another expert’s lingering will.

In the blink of an eye, only three of the original five figures remained around the ancestral imprint.

“Let’s find a safe place to rest. I need to recuperate.” After using two strands of Profound Sword Qi, Jian Chen did not strike again. Instead, he left with the Jade Heaven Ruler, sitting down a hundred kilometres away.

He only had three strands of Profound Sword Qi condensed right now, but whenever he used one, it would take a tremendous amount of the power of his soul. Once he exhausted all three strands, he would be weakened too, without the spare strength to use the power of laws. As a result, it would put him in danger.

As a result, he could only use two strands of Profound Sword Qi at most.

This is available on .me.

A hundred kilometres away, Jian Chen sat in the air with his eyes firmly shut, taking out heavenly resources or pills from time to time to ingest them.

These were all items for recovering the power of the soul. He had obtained them after becoming the lord of the Peace region. They were not particularly high in quality, but it was still better than nothing.

The Jade Heaven Ruler sat in front of Jian Chen and stared at him in a strange manner, like she was studying something , filled with intrigue.

There was also a hint of seriousness within her gaze.

Jian Chen was a foreigner, not a Wood Spirit. As this was her first time coming into contact with a foreigner, the Jade Heaven Ruler was clearly filled with suspicion. However, when she thought of his strength, she also became filled with caution and fear.
