Chapter 506: Exploring The World Tree - 506
Chen Jie's words confirmed a lot about Zhou Fan's absence. It was possible that some others from back then had survived, such as Yao Mun who could theoretically repeat the same process as before when he was revived.
However, it was extremely unlikely. After thinking for a while, Zhu Yi decided on the next location. He wanted to visit the Sword Sect.
"The Sword Sect exists in the most populated area of the World Tree, World Tree city. I'll take you there now."
They once again followed Chen Jie through many teleportation arrays until they reached some city gates. Not much could be said about World Tree city. It seemed like a small mortal city, but Zhou Fan could sense the power of some of the people inside. There were more than a few True Gods.
The city gates were wide open and Chen Jie freely walked through it with them following. After all, this was the World Tree. Nobody would ever even imagine sneaking in with evil intentions.
Chen Jie led all of them down a large street and stopped at one of the buildings at the side. On a glass door were the words, "The Sword Sect".
It looked like it was some sort of small mortal dojo that taught basic self-defense. However, this was the greatest place to practice swords in the universe.
Chen Jie walked in without knocking.
As soon as they entered, Zhou Fan heard shouts of effort. In the middle of a matted floor, a few young cultivators were practicing the sword. Although young, each of them was at the Void Traversing realm or higher.
In addition, each of them were clearly displaying powerful techniques in this small area. Perhaps with some array, the attacks were extremely small and did no damage to the surroundings.
They all waited an hour until the session was up. As the students were dismissed, the person who had been teaching them came up and saw Zhu Yi.
"You must be Zhu Yi, winner of the Void Traversing realm competition. It's good to meet you. I heard this year was especially tough."
Zhu Yi thanked him. "It is nice to meet you as well. Who are you?"
The person introduced himself. "I am an elder of the Sword Sect. I'm at the god realm and usually teach those at the Void Traversing realm and the Space Shattering realm."
Zhu Yi. "It's nice to meet you."
The elder nodded and looked at Chen Jie. "Why are you here, sir?"
Clearly, Chen Jie had a high status.
"I'm a tour guide for now."
The elder seemed confused, but nodded.
They soon left. Zhu Yi would likely end up staying in this city and attending the Sword Sect in the future. It depended on how long it took Zhou Fan to fully regain his cultivation.
The next place Zhu Yi chose to visit was the Elf Kingdom. He had heard that Elves took care of the World Tree, and he wanted to see them.
Chen Jie brought them over. Zhu Yi wasn't too amazed by the Elves. There weren't many strong one's. What he was most interested in was their method of taking care of the World Tree. They often used life Qi, and other less mainstream Qi's such as grass Qi and Tree Qi to take care of the World Tree's health. Though unnecessary, it was more like a form of worship than anything else.
Perhaps nobody but Zhou Fan knew that Elves had faith in trees even before Cultivation itself.
Next, Zhu Yi asked Chen Jie about places to see. Chen Jie mentioned the home of the destruction race. Once enemies of all life, they now had a ceasefire with the righteous faction in order to defeat Chaos Beasts.
After all, the Chaos Beasts wish to destroy even destruction. They did not stay on the world tree, but a bit closer to the main battlefield.
Zhu Yi heard about the city of Celestials, Fiendcelestials, Heavenborns, Demons, and many other races. Humans main location was at the World Tree city.
Zhu Yi also heard about many beast clans and supreme beast clans. There were a lot of things to hear about, and Zhu Yi only visited a few.
Nearing the end of the day, Chen Jie led them to where they would stay for now. White Palace City. Although only the disciples of Chen Jie lived here, an imposing White Palace stood in the center of it.
"As someone extremely talented, they gave me some land and told me to build a home. Here it is." Chen Jie explained.
It was nearly identical to the White Palace City that Zhu Yi knew. After all, the White Palace city on his world was protected and preserved over time.
Zhu Yi explored it and even found the assassination guild headquarters, though it was empty without anything like it was in the past.
Unlike in the past, Zhu Yi was allowed to enter the White Palace. It was where he was staying.
The White Palace was as intimidating as usual. In fact, it was far more intimidating since it could affect him even with his current strength.
He felt invincible within the same realm after winning the tournament, but compared to Chen Jie, he felt lacking. No matter what, Chen Jie was a unique genius throughout the entire universe, perhaps even the greatest genius of this era.
The inside of the White Palace was extravagant, but nothing too crazy. It was just as comfortable as possible.
Although they did not need to sleep at all, Chen Jie rested on a couch while watching TV.
A big battle was coming soon, and relaxation would help anyone.
The next day, news spread through the entire World Tree. The Origin God had returned. An attack would be led on the Chaos Beasts.
The effect of this news was far beyond any one person's comprehension. Just a single announcement completely changed the atmosphere of the entire World Tree. Every single corner heard this news, and sleeping ancients awoke.
Under a building in World Tree city were three cryopods. Zhou Fan had casually given them to Pangu long ago.
They would extend the lifespan of a true god by ten thousand times, or to 10 sextillion years.
Chapter 507: The Start of a War - 507
Over the last hundred quintillion years, three people had slept in these pods, only coming out to defend the world tree once every few quadrillion years.
Sleeping inside were Pangu, Progenitor Ke, and Lu Wei.
Pangu was an ancient being among ancient beings, chosen specifically for his talent and pure battle power.
Progenitor Ke had proven himself to be an extremely powerful cultivator, revealing soul techniques that even Chaos Beasts feared.
Lu Wei was chosen due to his unique talent and connection to the Origin God. These three had been protecting all life in the universe for countless years, giving up any hope of peaceful living. All they knew was sleeping and fighting.
At this moment, they were woken up again.
Somewhere in the World Tree, a gathering of Blood Qi cultivators lived in a city small enough to be called a village.
As a young man was walking on the street, he suddenly clutched his throat and began choking. Blood poured out of his throat.
The cultivators watched in horror as a hand reached out of the young man's throat. A body pulled itself out. A demonic eye clearly signified that Yao Mun had returned.
After doing it once, the next time was far easier. This time, he was even reborn at the true god realm due to his previous cultivation.
Before anyone could react, he disappeared, leaving a destroyed corpse.
Elsewhere, Heaven, who Ying Xiong had failed to get into contact with, finally learned about Zhou Fan's return and immediately left his place of seclusion.
Of all the ancient cultivators, only a lucky few could survive such a long time. An army was gathered up in a day. Only those at the god realm and above were here, but there were truly countless.
Zhou Fan saw more than 200 true gods, not including the ancients from before. The sheer number of gods made them seem ordinary, but their combined power struck fear into anyone and everyone.
Ying Xiong stood at the lead, with Zhou Fan's body and soul near him. Zhu Yi could only watch from afar, less a stray attack instantly kill him.
Chen Jie was near him. As the greatest genius of this era, he was seen as a leader to all.
Others showed up soon. Zhou Fan saw the destruction race form a separate army, yet still standing on the side of the righteous faction.
Countless beast clans joined not long after.
Soon more people joined Ying Xiong at the front. Zhou Fan saw Pangu, Progenitor Ke, and Lu Wei. They also saw him.
They were shocked by his current state, but they needed to focus on the battle ahead. Zhu Yi saw from afar that another person was coming towards them. He soon identified him as Yao Mun.
Ying Xiong spoke with clear disgust on his face. "So you still survived."
Yao Mun answered. "Mere time could never kill me."
He didn't speak further after that.
Zhou Fan soon saw an old man with black and white colored hair join.
"It's good that you are alive, father." Heaven said.
Zhou Fan nodded back. "Hardly alive, but it's good to see you."
This was the main force of the universe. Besides Chen Jie, everyone here would fight against the only True God realm Chaos Beast, an existence named Chaos.
Ying Xiong reached through space and brought out a passed out Bai Wei'er. Qi flowed through Ying Xiong's body and overflowed into Bai Wei'er's.
By any logic, she should have completely fallen apart, but Ying Xiong stabilized her. It was a horrifying sight to see, but it was a necessity for Zhou Fan to recover. Soon, the amount of Qi in her body was equal to that of a god realm cultivator.
"Progenitor Ke." Ying Xiong said.
Progenitor Ke stepped forward and controlled Bai Wei'er's soul. She instantly used her Divine Physique, The Fruit of Self, and as her body collapsed, a blinding fruit appeared.
Ying Xiong cut it like an apple, cutting off a tiny fraction of the fruit. That represented everything about her. The rest signified the Qi in her body that overwhelmed everything else.
Ying Xiong sent it towards Zhou Fan. The river of cultivation appeared around him, and the fruit was absorbed. He instantly felt himself recover through multiple stages. Connected to Zhu Yi even from a distance, Zhou Fan upgraded him.
There would be more where that came from.
With his massive recoveries, Zhou Fan's soul had transformed. He could interact with the physical world with ease, but he needed to reconnect with his body before anything else.
"We'll get you the Chaos Qi soon. Recover as fast as possible." Ying Xiong said.
Zhou Fan nodded. He moved his soul and carried his body along with the army as they moved into the distance. This was where Chaos and the Chaos Beasts stayed.
A commotion was made by Ying Xiong as a giant cosmic palm fell into the area. Space was obliterated and some stray Chaos Beasts died without knowing how. Ying Xiong was at the peak of the True God realm.
Even Chaos could not easily kill him alone, much less him with everyone else. Unfortunately, Chaos had Chaos Qi, along with intelligence and talent comparable to someone like Ying Xiong.
Zhou Fan heard a roar as a gigantic Chaos Beast as big as the World Tree itself appeared. Chaos Qi instantly attacked the entire army. This was when Leaf intervened.
Countless tree roots appeared and decreased the strength of the attack by nearly half. Leaf was only at the inner world realm even after so much time, and likely only because he forcefully matured, but his strength was unimaginably strong.
Still, this was about all he could do. Yet, it was enough. The group with Ying Xiong shot out, while Chen Jie stayed with Zhou Fan and his body.
"I'll be giving you your next meal. Let's start with an intelligent inner world realm Chaos Beast." Chen Jie said.
Taking Zhou Fan with him, he instantly appeared in front of an intelligent inner world realm Chaos Beast. Logically, especially at this level, fighting an inner world realm Chaos Beast at the god realm should take the max strength of anyone.
However, this was Chen Jie, and he was invincible.
