Chaotic Sword God

This time, he took two months to recover. Jian Chen finally opened his eyes again after that. Three strands of Profound Sword Qi hovered in his soul quietly.

"I need around a month to condense a strand of Profound Sword Qi. Of course, if I have some higher quality heavenly resources or God Tier pills, I can shorten this time," Jian Chen thought. Now that he had found a way to deal with the lingering wills of the experts, this place was no longer a place of danger but a place of treasure.

A place of treasure where he could obtain a large quantity of ancestral imprints.

As a result, he was in an extremely good mood.

Afterwards, Jian Chen and the Jade Heaven Ruler arrived near the ancestral imprint once again. Standing over thirty thousand metres away, he used two strands of Profound Sword Qi to kill two more figures.

With that, only one figure remained next to the ancestral imprint.

Gazing at the last illusionary figure, Jian Chen became hesitant. He still had one final strand of Profound Sword Qi, so it was completely possible for him to kill off the last lingering will.

Without these lingering wills present, the ancestral imprint was basically his.

As a result, he truly felt the urge to obtain the ancestral imprint immediately before using it to accelerate the growth of Lifesoul Flowers and heal his soul.

He stood exactly where he was and hesitated as his eyes flickered. After a period of careful consideration, he ended up holding back that urge. He did not use the third strand of Profound Sword Qi.

"I need to guard against the Jade Heaven Ruler. Once I use up all of the power of my soul and she considers stealing the ancestral imprint, it'll be very difficult for me to keep it."

"An ancestral imprint can increase her battle prowess substantially. That's an extremely great temptation. My Profound Sword Qi no longer serves as a deterrent to them, so no one can guarantee whether she'll risk it or not." Jian Chen sighed inside and silently backed away to a hundred kilometres away.

Even though the Jade Heaven Ruler and he seemed to be in the same boat, he also understood that many relationships and feelings would crumble when tested by tremendous benefits.

Afterwards, Jian Chen continued to recover the power of his soul. As he recovered, the Jade Heaven Ruler remained right by his side, sitting ten metres away from him as she watched over him.

Not only were there the lingering wills of experts in the maze, but there was also the Blood Slaughter Ruler moving around secretly. With her current strength, she would struggle very much no matter which one she encountered.

Theft is never good, try looking at .me.

In particular, the Blood Slaughter Ruler was even more terrifying than the lingering wills of these experts from a certain perspective.

As a result, she needed to stick with Jian Chen. Only then would she be capable of fending off all these dangers.

The recovery this time took another two months.

Two months later, Jian Chen's Profound Sword Qi returned to three. Immediately, he arrived before the ancestral imprint with the Jade Heaven Ruler. He repeated the same trick and used a strand of Profound Sword Qi to successfully kill the last figure, finally obtaining the ancestral imprint.

"Do not send the power of your soul into the ancestral imprint, as that's equivalent to becoming its master. An ancestral imprint with a master is no longer pure. It can no longer be used to accelerate the growth of Lifesoul Flowers," said the Jade Heaven Ruler. She stared at the imprint in Jian Chen's hands as undisguised desire burned away in the depths of her eyes.

She was indeed tempted by the ancestral imprint. An ancestral imprint without a master possessed irresistible allure to any cultivator in the Wood Spirits World. Even they, as rulers, were no exceptions.

Jian Chen noticed the Jade Heaven Ruler's desire. He waved the ancestral imprint around in front of her and smiled. "Do you want it?"

The Jade Heaven Ruler sucked in a deep breath and pacified her fervency. She said calmly, "No one will complain about having an additional ancestral imprint. However, when we obtained this ancestral imprint, I didn't put in any work at all, so I won't take it."

"How do you use it to accelerate the growth of Lifesoul Flowers?" Jian Chen asked.

"Treat it as a plot of spiritual soil and directly plant the roots of Lifesoul Flowers onto it, or plant the ancestral imprint into a spiritual field so it nourishes all of the heavenly resources planted in the field," said the Jade Heaven Ruler.

With a flip of his hand, the divine hall that the Heaven Fighting Ruler used to plant Lifesoul Flowers appeared out of nowhere. He directly entered the divine hall and arrived near a spiritual field.

Six fields had been established in the divine hall. Many Lifesoul Flowers were planted in each one.

However, the five other fields were all relatively ordinary. The quality of the Lifesoul Flowers there were the lowest. The final spiritual field had clearly received the Heaven Fighting Ruler's complete support. There were a total of one thousand and two hundred Lifesoul Flowers that had reached low grade Saint Tier, and they were quite close to mid grade Saint Tier now.

"Fellow Jian Chen, I've always been watching over the growth of these Lifesoul Flowers personally. Please do not worry, fellow Jian Chen." With a flash, the Heaven Fighting Ruler appeared before Jian Chen. He had already rebuilt his body, except his strength was nowhere close to recovering. He behaved extremely cautiously in front of Jian Chen.

"Heaven Fighting Ruler, please tell your people to leave the fields momentarily." Jian Chen stared at the Wood Spirits busying about in the fields. With a flip of his hand, an ancestral imprint appeared.

"This is… an ancestral imprint without a master!" The Heaven Fighting Ruler's expression changed as he stared at the ancestral imprint. His eyes immediately lit up with fervency, but he did not dare to develop too many thoughts about it. He immediately dismissed all of his subordinates from the spiritual fields.

With a wave of his hand, the ancestral imprint immediately drifted into the spiritual field and merged with the entire place.

At that moment, the spiritual field of the highest quality erupted with light. A terrifying presence of life permeated the place as all the Lifesoul Flowers planted there began to change at a visible rate.

They were growing at an unbelievable pace.

It was so fast that even the acceleration from using God Tier heavenly resources as fertiliser came nowhere close.

"He's actually using an ancestral imprint to accelerate the growth of these Lifesoul Flower. T-t-that's an utter waste! It's an utter waste!" The Heaven Fighting Ruler gazed at the Lifesoul Flowers enveloped in green light as his face contorted painfully.

Jian Chen sat on the side of the field and stared at the Lifesoul Flowers excitedly.

Sure enough, the ancestral imprint had not disappointed him. After using an ancestral imprint, the Lifesoul Flowers indeed grew at a startling rate, much faster than anything he was expecting.

"Ancestral imprints are condensed from the presence of the sovereign god artifact. Even its presence can accelerate growth so much, then does the sovereign god artifact, the Source of Life, have a similar function?" Jian Chen thought. He felt like he had discovered yet another function of the Source of Life.

However, it made sense after some further thought. The sovereign god artifact had been condensed by the sovereign of the Wood Spirits' Laws of Life, coupled with the source of her own life, so it was not strange for it to possess such a function.

Jian Chen did not leave. He simply sat beside the spiritual field and waited. That wait lasted for three days.

By then, all one thousand and two hundred Lifesoul Flowers planted in the spiritual field had evolved to mid grade Saint Tier. Their growth time had been greatly shortened.

However, the energy from the ancestral imprint had yet to run out. After evolving, these Lifesoul Flowers continued to grow at a visible rate, making progress towards high grade Saint Tier.

This lasted for another four days. Only then did the energy in the ancestral imprint finally run out. After reaching mid grade Saint Tier, the Lifesoul Flowers made some further progress.

However, a single ancestral imprint was still not enough for these Lifesoul Flowers to all reach high grade Saint Tier.

After all, that was only something condensed from the presence of the sovereign god artifact. It was not actually the sovereign god artifact.

"The higher the quality, the more difficult it is to grow. At this rate, the one thousand and two hundred Lifesoul Flowers will need at least another three ancestral imprints before they reach high grade Saint Tier…" Staring at the field of vigorous Lifesoul Flowers, Jian Chen's eyes shone brightly with anticipation.

"I need even more ancestral imprints." Jian Chen left the divine hall. He wanted to make these Lifesoul Flowers evolve a little more. They had to reach high grade Saint Tier at the very least, or even supreme grade Saint Tier.

As for God Tier, he also understood that it would be far too difficult. After all, a tremendous difference existed between God Tier and Saint Tier, so he did not bother thinking about such a thing.
