Chapter 3365: Opening the Stone Door

“It really is difficult to believe that you actually made the seven of them reach Chaotic Prime successfully in such a short amount of time.”

The Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler both appeared. As they gazed at the seven experts radiating with the presence of Chaotic Primes, they were both astounded.

It was difficult to become a ruler. That was a publicly-known truth in the Wood Spirits World. Otherwise, there would not be only three rulers after all these years.

Yet Jian Chen had actually created seven rulers in under a decade, which was truly unbelievable.

“It’s all because they’ve remained at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime for so long, such that both their accumulated comprehension and foundations are deep enough. They were all at the peak of their current realm of cultivation, only a step away from Chaotic Prime. Otherwise, getting them to break through would not have been easy. It might have even been impossible.”

“And despite that, nurturing the seven of them almost pushed me to my limits. If there was another one or two more, I probably would have been powerless too.” Jian Chen smiled wryly. As soon as he thought of all the Comprehension Tea he had used on the seven of them, he felt pained.

That was because he almost had no Comprehension Tea left in his possession. He had already used up most of the high quality ones, while the remaining were all low quality.

“Heaven Fighting Ruler, Jade Heaven Ruler, I must ask you to help me out now and open the stone door.” Jian Chen cupped his fist towards the Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler.

“It’s a mere trifle, so it’s obviously no problem. I’m more than happy to help.” The Heaven Fighting Ruler chuckled and agreed extremely happily. Clearly, he had also heard about the stone door from the Jade Heaven Ruler.

“When do you plan on entering it?” The Jade Heaven Ruler stared straight at Jian Chen.

“Right now!” Jian Chen took out a divine hall and said to the seven people who had just broken through, “You can stay in this divine hall and familiarise yourself with your current cultivation next. When I need you, I’ll let you out.”

The seven experts who had just reached Chaotic Prime did not have any objections. They all entered Jian Chen’s divine hall.

Afterwards, Jian Chen turned towards Jade Heaven and Heaven Fighting. “You should go back and make some preparations. I’ll go search for the spatial passageway. Once I find it, I’ll contact you immediately.”

Afterwards, the Heaven Fighting Ruler and Jade Heaven Ruler both left, while Jian Chen continued scouring the Peace region for the spatial teleportation passageway that could let them into the maze.

The spatial teleportation passageway appeared randomly without remaining in the same place for too long at a time. As a matter of fact, there were even small periods of time when it vanished completely.

As a result, luck played a certain role in finding the spatial teleportation passageway. The time required to find it each time was not fixed.

This time, it took Jian Chen a total of fifteen years before finally finding the passageway in a mountain range that he had searched who knew how many times already.

He immediately contacted the Heaven Fighting Ruler and Jade Heaven Ruler before sending the two of them into the divine hall as well and vanishing into the spatial teleportation passageway.

Very soon, the familiar scenery appeared around Jian Chen again. As far as he could see, there was an enormous passageway where the walls, floor, and ceiling all shone with green light, filled with a surging vitality.

The senses of everyone’s souls were suppressed here, unable to expand beyond their bodies. They could only observe this world with the naked eye.

Jian Chen did not stop. The Laws of Space rippled around him. After gaining his bearings, he vanished instantly, venturing deeper and deeper into the corridor of the maze.

Even though he had already entered this place twice before, Jian Chen felt like he still had not explored every corner. There was still a relatively large area he had not set foot in.

As for the path he had memorised, that was only limited to a small region centred around the stone door.

Entering the maze this time, his objective was completely different from the last two times. He sped through the maze rapidly, constantly venturing deeper in search of a path he was familiar with.

Along the way, he encountered many lingering wills, as well as some ancestral imprints, but he did not stop at all. He directly teleported past them with the Laws of Space without wasting any time.

He no longer needed ancestral imprints and he only had a century with each entry, so he had to find the stone door within this time limit.

As Jian Chen moved rapidly, he used less than a decade before finding a path that he had memorised.

With a familiar path found, everything that followed next became much simpler. Jian Chen took fewer and fewer wrong turns. Finally, after a few more months, he returned to the stone door.

Standing inside the nine formations outside the stone door, he took out the divine hall and let out everyone.

As soon as the nine Chaotic Primes appeared, they studied the surroundings. The Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler were no exceptions. All of them were deeply curious.

“Only Chaotic Primes of the Wood Spirits race can activate these nine formations. Stand there and unleash your energy,” Jian Chen said to the nine people.

They did not hesitate. They each found a formation and unleashed their energy at the same time.

Immediately, the formations under their feet shone with blinding light. All of the formations seemed to spring alive. Countless glyphs circulated rapidly.

In the end, the energy from the nine formations joined together, forming a colossal green column of light that struck the giant stone door before them.

The green column of energy seemed to be a key. When it struck the stone door, the door immediately rumbled and opened slowly.

Immediately, an ancient and desolate presence rushed out. It seemed as if it had faced the test of time, filled with a sense of mustiness and staleness.

Who knew how long it had been since the stone door was last opened.

“It’s finally open.” Gazing at the stone door that opened slowly, Jian Chen smiled gently. He had paid quite a price for this, exhausting a large number of heavenly resources. Now, he had finally obtained what he wanted.

But in the next moment, Jian Chen quivered. An extremely dense presence of life surged out from the stone door, brushing past him like a gentle breeze.

Bathing in this presence of life, Jian Chen felt refreshed, like his soul had been elevated and even his body had been renewed. Even his limbs and bones felt like they had been cleansed.

At that moment, he even felt rather floaty, like he had entered the clouds. It was an indescribable sense of comfort.

On top of that, he could sense his soul seemingly grow slightly. The Chaotic Body also began to show signs of recovery. Even the curse suppressed in his legs seemed to weaken a bit.

The level that this presence of life was on was far too great, completely surpassing the ancestral imprints.

It was not just him. Even the nine Chaotic Primes all shut their eyes subconsciously. They were completely engrossed in the presence of life, leaving them intoxicated.

Suddenly, a tremendous presence spread out. The Heaven Fighting Ruler who had remained stuck at the First Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime for all these years actually pierced the thin film at that moment, stepping into the realm of the Second Heavenly Layer.

“This is the sovereign god artifact, the Source of life.” Jian Chen’s soul shook. He was extremely excited. Just the presence of life it gave off possessed such wondrous effects, so it immediately reminded him of the Wood Spirits’ sovereign god artifact.

The presence of life that gushed out from there definitely originated from the sovereign god artifact!
