Chapter 3359: Stone Door

In the maze, Jian Chen sat in the spacious opening and focused on refining the Lifesoul Flowers.

It took him several months before completely refining over ten thousand supreme grade Saint Tier Lifesoul Flowers, extracting their essence and storing them away in bottles.

He had never possessed so much medicinal fluid at one time as right now. It was extremely abundant, so he did not conserve them like before. He began to gulp it down.

As he drank the medicinal fluid, Jian Chen immediately felt a refreshing sensation spread through his soul. At this moment, he could even feel his entire soul glowing. The cracks in his soul slowly healed.

However, even with sufficient Lifesoul Flowers, Jian Chen’s soul could not heal in a short amount of time. Treating his soul with Lifesoul Flowers was more like nourishing it, letting it repair over time.

Finally, after nourishing it for a month, Jian Chen successfully condensed his fourth strand of Profound Sword Qi.

The appearance of the fourth strand of Profound Sword Qi meant that eighty percent of his soul was already repaired.

“All that remains is the last twenty percent, but the last twenty percent also happens to be the slowest and most difficult period. Fortunately, I have enough Lifesoul Flowers on me. All I lack is time.” Jian Chen rejoiced inside. He took a few more swift sips of Lifesoul Flower essence before standing up and studying the surroundings.

He had already spent over a century in total moving around in the maze if he included the last time. During this time, he moved about freely, trekking through countless corridors, but this was his first time coming across such an enormous space.

On top of that, the space possessed a startling number of ancestral imprints, so Jian Chen realised this place was anything but ordinary.

As a matter of fact, it was extremely likely that he was located in the centre of this maze.

Jian Chen found his bearings before continuing onwards. Along the way, he carefully observed the surroundings, raising his guard secretly.

In the end, he arrived before a stone door.

The stone door was extremely large, three thousand metres tall and three thousand metres wide. It stood there like a smooth cliff face. It was extremely imposing.

It was difficult to tell it was a door unless he was standing far away.

It was far too large, merging together with the maze, such that it was very difficult to notice.

On top of that, Jian Chen discovered in surprise that the stone door was even tougher than the corridors of the maze.

The material of the maze’s corridors had already reached the level of high quality god artifacts, yet the material of the stone door here was even tougher. That strengthened Jian Chen’s suspicions about being inside the sovereign god artifact.

“It’s completely impossible to force this stone door open. If I want to enter it, I need to find the correct way to open it,” Jian Chen murmured and began looking around. Very soon, he found several formations pointed towards the centre of the stone door.

There were nine formations in total, arranged in a special pattern and deeply engraved in the extremely-tough ground, such that even time could not erase them.

Jian Chen studied the nine formations. He was unable to completely understand them, but he picked up a few clues with his knowledge and insight.

“This is a bloodline formation. You need Chaotic Primes at the very least to activate this formation, and they need to be Wood Spirits too.” Jian Chen frowned.

“If this is the way to open the stone door, then entering it sure is difficult.” Jian Chen sighed gently. So far, the Wood Spirits World only had a total of three Chaotic Primes, which were the Heaven Fighting Ruler, the Jade Heaven Ruler, and the Blood Slaughter Ruler.

He was nowhere close to the conditions of opening the stone door. He was off by a total of six Chaotic Primes.

“Looks like I have to raise a few Chaotic Primes for the Wood Spirits. The stone door is definitely hiding a great secret. It might even contain the chance to obtain the sovereign god artifact,” Jian Chen said in thought. Eighty percent of his soul had already recovered. He was far stronger than when he had first arrived in this world. He could already open the space in his soul freely.

Raising a few Chaotic Primes was nothing difficult to him. It was simply a matter of time.

“It’s almost a century. I definitely won’t end up here next time, so I have to familiarise myself with the layout of the maze in preparation.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen left and began making a record of the path through the maze. Along the way, he tried all sorts of methods to leave behind a mark, which could help him reach the stone door as quickly as possible the next time he entered this space.

This was the first time he seriously tried to create markers. In the past, he only thought of collecting ancestral imprints in the maze. The only thought in his head was to heal.

Now that it was only a matter of time before his soul completely recovered, his objective here had obviously changed as well.

In the blink of an eye, several decades passed. An exact century had passed since Jian Chen entered the maze a second time.

As soon as the century had elapsed, the mysterious power appeared again and forcefully delivered Jian Chen out of the maze.

“Sigh, the maze is far too large. Coupled with the fact that I’ve looped back on myself many times, I’ve probably only covered less than a tenth of the entire place.” Jian Chen vanished from the maze with that sigh.

In the Peace region, Jian Chen returned to the Divine Palace of Peace. Everything in the Peace region had been peaceful during the second century he was gone. Nothing too major occurred. The nine imperial cities paid their annual taxes in a timely fashion too.

As for the Blood Slaughter Ruler, perhaps due to the Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler, he did not try to make the Peace region his anymore.

Jian Chen ignored everything else. As soon as he returned to the Peace region, he focused on healing, wanting to completely recover in the shortest amount of time possible.

However, on the second day after his return, the Jade Heaven Ruler personally visited Jian Chen.

As soon as the two of them met, the Jade Heaven Ruler studied Jian Chen with concern. Only when she saw that he was safe and sound did she seem to let out a sigh of relief. “Seeing how you’ve returned safely, I can stop worrying now. I’ve gathered some more heavenly resources that can recover the power of the soul for you during the century you were gone. You should take them.”

The Jade Heaven Ruler passed a Space Ring over to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen smiled gently. “Thank you for this, Jade Heaven Ruler, but I don’t need these heavenly resources anymore.”

“You don’t need them anymore?” The Jade Heaven Ruler whispered as if she was slightly disappointed. Only after a moment of silence did she ask, “Have you gathered enough ancestral imprints already?”

“I have.” Jian Chen nodded.

All of the Jade Heaven Ruler’s disappointment vanished. She smiled brightly and said, “That’s good then. Looks like most of your soul has recovered already.”

“Oh right, can you tell me about what the outside world is like?”
