Chapter 3408: A Sovereign’s Daughter
“What? Primeval Qi?” When the artifact spirit of the Source of Life heard him mention the Primeval Qi, it immediately beamed with joy. Its eyes were filled with undisguised desire.
However, it did not agree immediately, instead falling silent. It became extremely hesitant.
The Primeval Qi was extremely tempting to it, but it was also reluctant to lose the Myriad Source Qi.
“C-c-could you not take my Myriad Source Qi and give me a strand of Primeval Qi?” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life gazed at Jian Chen eagerly.
Jian Chen almost laughed out of exasperation. He immediately became serious and sneered. “You want a strand of Primeval Qi for nothing? Do you think that’s possible?”
“Hmph, how have I done nothing? I’ve agreed to follow you for a hundred thousand years.” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life fumed.
“You will follow me for a hundred thousand years, but I’ve also agreed to deal with the experts who surrounded you that day,” said Jian Chen.
“Exactly what do you want so you’ll give me the Primeval Qi without touching my Myriad Source Qi?” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life stomped its foot in frustration. It truly desired the Primeval Qi very much.
It did not have any doubts over whether Jian Chen could obtain the Primeval Qi or not. After all, it had already learnt from the twin swords that the Primeval Divine Hall had already accepted Jian Chen as its master back then in the Wood Spirits World.

Jian Chen lifted the damaged Divine Armour of Heavenflight over to the Source of Life’s face and said, “If you want the Primeval Qi, then there’s only one way—repair the Divine Armour of Heavenflight with your Myriad Source Qi.”
“Y-you’re going too far.” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life acted like it had just suffered an injustice, facing a tough choice.
“Source of Life, you should be aware that once you miss out on a great opportunity like this to obtain Primeval Qi, you’ll struggle to find another. You might never come across a second opportunity as a matter of fact. As a result, you better grasp this opportunity properly. After all, it’ll just cost you some Myriad Source Qi.”
“The Myriad Source Qi can be replenished. Even if you use up all of the Myriad Source Qi, you can slowly condense it again.”
The Wind Venerable spoke up, persuading from the side.
“B-but I’m too feeble right now. I still need the Myriad Source Qi to recover,” the Source of Life said in a troubled manner. ????????????????e????????. ????o????
“At your level, the Myriad Source Qi is no longer essential. Moreover, Jian Chen still needs to rely on your abilities from today onwards. The stronger your abilities are, the more you’ll be able to help Jian Chen. Jian Chen will help you recover in the future,” said the Wind Venerable.
The Source of Life hesitated for a little more before finally making a decision, turning towards Jian Chen and asking, “When can you get me the Primeval Qi?”
Jian Chen beamed with joy inside. He could already tell the Source of Life was showing signs of giving in, so he immediately said in guarantee, “I’ll give it to you as soon as the Primeval Divine Hall ends up in my hands.”
“Alright, that’s that then!” The Source of Life gritted its teeth and immediately pointed at the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. In the next moment, the Divine Armour of Heavenflight directly flew into the pool under the control of an invisible power, swallowed by the fluid condensed from the Myriad Source Qi.
The entire pool immediately began to bubble like it was boiling. Bubbles emerged violently. The Myriad Source Qi in the entire pool decreased at a visible rate.
The Source of Life watched helplessly as the pool almost emptied out. Its face was filled with pain.
“Senior Feng, can the Myriad Source Qi really repair the Divine Armour of Heavenflight?” Jian Chen asked in intrigue as he watched the level of the pool rapidly fall.
“Of course. That’s because the Myriad Source Qi is condensed from the essence of all substances in the world. However, the so-called essence is just our name for it. In the eyes of the sovereign of the Wood Spirits, that’s not the essence of a myriad different substances but their life force.”
“The sovereign of the Wood Spirits comprehended the Laws of Life to the limit, so her understanding of life had reached a different realm. Many of her views and beliefs are different from ours. In her eyes, let alone grasses and trees, even a grain of sand and speck of dust, or even the origin energy that permeates the world, contains life force.”
“Even various artifacts, whether they’re saint artifacts or god artifacts, or even pills, are no exception. They all possess their unique life force.”
“In short, in her eyes, everything in the world are living creatures, whether big or small, strong or weak. It’s just that the way each lifeform is displayed and the way they survive is different.”
“As a result, the Myriad Source Qi formed from the essence absorbed from a myriad of substances in the world by the Source of Life is akin to divine medicine to these substances.”
“No, it should be said that they’re even stronger than divine medicine. They’re a source of great nourishment. After all, not only can Myriad Source Qi repair the items, but they can even make many materials evolve.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJian Chen’s horizons were immediately broadened with the Wind Venerable’s explanation.
“Senior Feng, are materials for forging artifacts able to evolve too?” Jian Chen asked in complete shock.
“There are many types of materials for forging artifacts. Some come fixed, such that they will never change in quality, while there are other materials that will evolve again and again due to various factors, such that their grade constantly increases.”
“Myriad Source Qi obviously isn’t of much help to those materials with fixed quality, but if you use Myriad Source Qi to nurture the materials with space for growth, then these materials will be like cultivators that absorb origin energy to cultivate. They will constantly break through with the addition of Myriad Source Qi.”
After the Wind Venerable’s detailed explanation, Jian Chen finally understood exactly what made Myriad Source Qi precious. Not only could Myriad Source Qi heal many materials, or even all the substances in the world, but it could also unleash the special power of evolution in many materials.
Of course, it did not have an effect on materials of all levels. The Myriad Source Qi condensed by the Source of Life was only effective on substances at the level of high quality god artifacts.
“The Divine Armour of Heavenflight has already reached the limits of high quality god artifacts. If you want to repair such a powerful god artifact, the Myriad Source Qi required will obviously be extremely great. This time, the Myriad Source Qi that the Source of Life has accumulated over countless years after so much difficulty will probably be used up.” The Wind Venerable sighed emotionally as he watched the level of the pool continue to fall.
The Source of Life sat on the edge of the pool as it stared nervously at the bottom. Its palms seemed to grow sweaty. Whenever the level of the pool fell by a bit, its heart would ache.
It seemed very much like an innocent child who had just had something precious taken away from her. It was so sad that tears almost flowed out.
The Wind Venerable’s gaze paused on the artifact spirit of the Source of Life for a while before talking with a voice that only Jian Chen can hear, “Jian Chen, you have to treat her well in the future. If I’ve guessed correctly, she should be that sovereign of the Wood Spirits’ daughter.”
“What? The artifact spirit of the Source of Life is the sovereign of the Wood Spirits’ daughter?” Jian Chen shuddered inside and immediately looked towards the artifact spirit. He only felt stunned.
