Supreme Conceited Emperor

Su Jue was overjoyed. He had made the right gamble, the Cyanwood Sect was indeed related to the Ten Thousand Wood Sword Art.    

"Phew!"    

Just at this moment, countless green leaves formed the appearance of a middle-aged man.    

The Green Wood God King.    

The middle-aged man looked like the The Green Wood God King, but Su Jue knew that this was just an illusion left behind by the The Green Wood God King.    

"The eighty-one swords have passed the trial."    

In the next moment, The Green Wood God King's figure scattered once again, turning into countless flying leaves.    

Like a blade or sword, the flying leaf instantly slashed across Su Jue's body.    

In the blink of an eye, more than ten wounds appeared on his body.    

The attack was fiercer than before.    

The eighty-one sword moves, which were stuck close to the Myriad Mushrooms Sword Art, could not be dodged at all.    

However, he became even more excited, because this Flying Leaf was obviously helping him master the eighty-second sword strike.    

As more and more wounds appeared on his body, he finally became completely covered in blood. Fortunately, these few superficial wounds were not enough to injure his foundation.    

"This isn't the way to continue nourishing them."    

Although it was not a serious injury, he knew that if he continued to drag it on, it would eventually turn from a light injury to a serious injury.    

Taking a deep breath, Su Jue closed his eyes, he decided to no longer use his eyes to look, and instead used his consciousness to sense.    

At first, it was more difficult for him to hide than to open his eyes. However, after a while, he felt that his senses had become clearer, as if he could sense the trajectory of the leaves and even hear them.    

As the feeling became clearer, he dodged most of his attacks.    

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Yet, not a single leaf had hit Su Jue's body.    

At this moment, Su Jue had already forgotten the deep green colored world of his own, and was feeling like he was in a sea of life.    

The rules of the wood element were close to the laws of life. And here, every leaf and tree was life, and he could clearly feel the life moving around him.    

"Stop!"    

With a low cry, Su Jue brandished his sword in the next moment.    

In an instant, the entire world became quiet. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was holding a tree branch in his hand.    

The leaves and the wind around them were still.    

"Buzz!"    

The fallen leaves suddenly scattered and the world started to change. Soon after, Su Jue discovered that he was standing in a hall.    

There was a painting carved directly above the main hall.    

There was only one big tree in the painting, and it was full of leaves.    

Thinking about his previous experience, Su Jue closed his eyes and used his consciousness to feel the leaves on it.    

After a moment, he discovered that he was on top of a big tree, surrounded by a dark green grassland.    

"All trees meet in spring, and all things are born from the sword."    

A deep voice resounded in Su Jue's mind, following that, he opened his eyes, and the gigantic drawing in front of him suddenly transformed into a green leaf that flew into his mind.    

The sword gave birth to all things!    

Su Jue was startled. He only knew that the ninety-nine sword strikes of the Spring Sword were twice as strong as the previous sword strikes. One would be able to challenge a peerless War God with just ninety-nine sword strikes.    

Later on, he realized that the Myriad Wood Spring Sword Art contained an even higher level of the Laws of Life.    

And now, he was certain that as long as he could break through to the ninety-ninth sword strike, he would definitely be able to grasp the rules of the wood element.    

By mastering the Wood Laws, he would be able to grasp a fourth rule.    

Feeling the green leaf that was filled with life in his mind, Su Jue couldn't help but let out a smile. This leaf was the seed of his Wood Laws.    

"Right now I've already broken through the bottleneck and reached the eighty-second sword strike. The other seventeen sword strikes are just around the corner."    

Retracting his thoughts, Su Jue once again inspected the stone wall in front of him, and discovered that two rings had appeared on the stone wall.    

Door knocker.    

The two doorknobs were not ordinary doorknobs, but each of them represented a particular place.    

He pulled the left ring into the core zone of the second layer, allowing him to enter the third layer.    

He pulled the right ring into the border zone of the second layer.    

Su Jue thought, and in the end, pulled the ring.    

The door opened with a loud bang, and the pitch black tunnel gradually lit up with white light. Su Jue slowly stepped into the tunnel and saw that there were statues on both sides of the tunnel.    

There were people, beasts and monsters among the statues, Su Jue counted. There were more than seventy statues.    

Until the last four statues.    

"These four should be the four mighty Empyrean Gods!"    

Su Jue's gaze stopped at the last statue.    

The Ying people had not lied to him. The statue of the ancestor of the Ying people really did exist.    

With suspicion, Su Jue gently touched the statue, and the next moment, a change suddenly occurred. The statue suddenly opened its eyes.    

"Are my people my people?"    

The hoarse voice carried the vicissitudes of time. After a long moment, the statue lowered its head and pieces of dirt on its neck fell off.    

"Senior, I am Su Jue." Su Jue took a deep breath.    

"Human, why do you have the aura of my race? Speak, did you kill my people?"    

Rumble rumble rumble!    

After the angry roar, the ancestor walked out of the statue and looked at the debris on the ground.    

"Senior, you have misunderstood, I was just passing by the lair of you Ying people."    

After saying that, Su Jue immediately gave the bead to the Ying ancestor.    

"Ying Zhu, looks like you didn't lie to me. If you didn't take the initiative, no one in my Ying Family would have been able to snatch it away."    

Su Jue heaved a sigh of relief. The ancestor of the Ying Family was a Heavenly God Realm warrior, and the strongest one at that.    

"Did my people send you to find me?" the ancestor asked.    

Su Jue nodded his head, "That's right, he sent me to look for your statue, as for why I'm not sure either."    

The ancestor pondered for a moment before letting out a sigh. "It looks like it's about time for the oil lamp to dry up."    

"The oil lamps are dry?" Su Jue asked doubtfully.    

"Yes, since you went to our lair, you must have seen that star."    

"Indeed, it seems like there isn't much energy left." Su Jue said.    

"That core is a remnant left behind by the destruction of the Divine Mars. It originally did not contain much energy, and my Ying Family relied on that broken core to survive in the Shattered Star Zone for tens of thousands of years. In these ten thousand years, we have not been able to find any of the entire Shattered Star Belt, so in the end, we were forced to sleep with our entire clan."    

"In other words, sleeping will also consume the power of the Star Core?" Su Jue asked.    

"That's right, although sleeping consumes very little energy, there will always be a time when it will dry up. Back then, before I returned here, I said that it would only wake me up at the last moment."    

The words of the Ying ancestor made Su Jue realize what was going on. It turned out that the man wanted him to wake up the Ying Family Patriarch, because he knew that the Ying Family Patriarch was sleeping right now.
