Chapter 781: Endgame 262: The World Tree is Sick!

What treasure is this?

The True Martial Primordial Ancestor couldn't sit still, directly extending his divine sense toward the Spiritual Peak where Lu Xuan was.

Other ancestors, such as the Golden Pond Elder, also extended their divine senses.

Just because.

This supreme treasure surpasses any spiritual weapon of the True Martial Sect.

Merely the overflowing Great Dao power actually refined the True Martial Will.

It can be said to be terrifying!

A moment later, the True Martial Primordial Ancestor exclaimed, 'As expected of Lord Lu, he casually produced a Nine-Star Sovereign Stage spiritual weapon—looks like he intends to give it to Ye Chen as a gift.'

The Golden Pond Elder's face twitched, 'Using a Sovereign Stage spiritual weapon as a gift is too extravagant.'

War Cry Elder said, 'Looks like we've latched onto a mighty thigh.'

Meanwhile, on the Spiritual Peak.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, 'Ye Chen, this Refine Heaven Furnace is for you. It can be used to refine pills or as a spiritual weapon.'

Ye Chen's breathing quickened, 'Master, what grade is this? I can't even tell.'

Lu Xuan lightly replied, 'It's merely a Nine-Star Sovereign Stage; make do with it for now.'

Ye Chen was shocked.

As expected of the master.

His move is top-notch!

He took the Refine Heaven Furnace and, using a spiritual art, instantly refined it.

Boom—

With a thought, Ye Chen sensed the power on the Refine Heaven Furnace—a destructive force capable of refining heaven and earth.

'From now on, when Master has me refine stars, I won't need to knead them by hand.'

Ye Chen thought silently.

Lu Xuan asked the System, 'What does establishing a connection with the World Tree mean?'

The System explained, 'Previously, the host needed to activate the Great Dao Hand to draw power from the World Tree. But now, after establishing a connection, the host can step into the World Tree's trunk, and with a thought, draw its power.'

Lu Xuan nodded, 'That makes sense. This way I can help a few disciples better comprehend the origin of the Great Dao.'

He just needs to lie back and let the disciples cultivate.

A moment later, Lu Xuan told Ye Chen, 'Over the next two days, you will handle the affairs of the True Martial Sect. Before you leave, I will bring you into the True Martial Sect's World Tree trunk to teach you how to draw its power.'

'World Tree!'

Ye Chen felt somewhat excited.

This truly counts as advanced cultivation.

He is only at the One-Star God Sovereign Realm, yet he is about to draw power from the World Tree!

That is a far purer power than the Martial Dao Veins, after all, the Martial Dao Veins are derived from the World Tree's power.

Moreover, he has always been curious about this world; perhaps he can glimpse its truth.

Lu Xuan looked at a pool of black soul water in the System space and asked, 'System, what is this used for?'

The System explained, 'This is Profound Ice Soul Water; even if a cultivator has only a wisp of soul left, a small amount can reforge their soul.'

Lu Xuan said, 'Sounds good. Going to the Sword Qi Long Wall to see if we can find a wisp of Jiang Rou's soul; perhaps we can reforge her spiritual body and then her physical form.'

Thinking so, he turned his gaze to Elder Kufan and said, 'Kufan, when I leave in a few days, you should also come with me to the Sword Qi Long Wall.'

Upon hearing this, Elder Kufan's body trembled.

A flash of lightning crossed his mind, and he trembled, 'Could it be that, Lord Lu...'

Ye Chen smiled and said, 'Elder Kufan, rest assured; as long as the master takes action, perhaps that wisp of Jiang Rou's soul can be restored.'

Elder Kufan stared dumbfounded.

You should know that the news the Jiang clan gave him was that they had exhausted countless treasures but could not save Jiang Rou; on her deathbed, Jiang Rou proposed to return her soul to the Sword Qi Long Wall, just as other sword cultivators do, merging into the Wall to become a barrier between the Strange Domain and other star domains.

Moreover, it is likely that Jiang Rou's last wisp of remnant soul has already entered the Sword Qi Long Wall.

The Sword Qi Long Wall has existed since ancient times for endless ages, containing not only countless Sword Dao powers but also a large number of heroic souls' remnants.

Jiang Rou is like a wisp of fresh wind fallen between heaven and earth; can she still be found?

Elder Kufan's face was full of bewilderment.

Ye Chen seemed to see Elder Kufan's worry and smiled, 'Elder Kufan, as long as the master takes action, it will surely work. You and Jiang Rou are destined to be together!'

Elder Kufan's eyes slightly moistened, 'Really… really?'

Lu Xuan patted Elder Kufan's shoulder, 'Alright, we'll talk later; for now, follow Ye Chen to handle the True Martial Sect's affairs.'

Elder Kufan nodded and followed Ye Chen away.

In the next two or three days.

Ye Chen was very busy.

He selected a new sect leader.

Then he straightened out the complex affairs of the entire True Martial Sect.

Indeed, it was very complex.

It is a massive entity that has developed over endless ages, its relationship network intertwined like roots—moving one part moves hundreds, even thousands.

But since we want to change the current situation, we must be ruthless.

Many elders, under great pressure, admitted their past misdeeds; Ye Chen gave them certain punishments according to the severity.

Once, the True Martial Sect's exalted Nine Great Divine Sons—seven of them had risen by relying on background forces—were precisely those Sovereign Realm elders slain by the True Martial Primordial Ancestor back then.

Two and a half days later.

True Martial Sect seems to have changed from inside out.

A great blade cuts through tangled hemp, the effect is noticeable!

At this moment, Lu Xuan also prepared to leave; before leaving, he wanted to bring Ye Chen into the interior of the World Tree's trunk to have a look.

Soon.

Ye Chen, Elder Kufan, the True Martial Founding Ancestor, the Gold Pond Old Ancestor, and others also came over.

"Let's go."

With a thought from Lu Xuan, mysterious power surged around everyone; he established a connection with the World Tree and then directly led everyone into its interior.

"Boom!"

Heaven-reaching spatial power surged, and everyone felt a wave of dizziness and vertigo.

Lu Xuan glanced around.

The interior of the World Tree's trunk forms a world of its own; it is not like ordinary spiritual wood, its interior is solid, but rather like a star field.

Here, starlight dots the scene, incomparably brilliant.

Each starlight contains a thread of Great Dao aura, truly embracing all rivers.

The True Martial Founding Ancestor and others opened their eyes, gazing at the extraordinarily magnificent world before them, and exclaimed in shock, "Venerable Lord Lu, is this the world inside the World Tree?"

The Gold Pond Old Ancestor and the War Cry Old Ancestor, among others, were also utterly shocked.

This is literally a starry expanse!

Within the starry expanse, there are numerous specks of light and threads; they seem to surge from an extremely distant place and then transmit some kind of energy toward another extremely distant place.

This is a phenomenon they cannot comprehend.

Even when the War Cry Old Ancestor tried to peer at an ordinary speck of light, he suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

"Pfft!"

On another side, the Gold Pond Elder reached for a speck of light, and in the next instant his palm exploded.

Scorched by the power of the Great Dao!

The severed palm cannot be restored!

Lu Xuan said lightly, "The power here is such that even a Nine Star Sovereign Realm expert would not dare to underestimate it; be careful."

Only then did everyone become cautious.

At this moment.

Ye Chen pointed at the large amount of blackness in this world and said, "What is that?"

Lu Xuan said, "The World Tree is sick, and its illness is not minor."
