Chapter 1922: What Mu Hanyan Gained in 2021 That Was Even More Precious

Within Han Yan’s Heart Meridian, a tiny sapling is taking root and sprouting.

It is wholly pristine and crystal clear, as if carved from jade, yet the gently swaying branches and leaves release a strong vitality. Although still so young, Han Yan sees it clearly; it is precisely the Life Divine Tree that enshrouds the temple, and if it matures, it would be identical.

Spiritual power and Qi flow through different meridians across the whole body, eventually converging into the Heart Meridian, merging into the crystalline jade-like Life Ancient Tree. Along the roots, trunk, branches, and leaves, finally flowing out from the tips and returning once more to her meridians, forming a seamless and perfect cycle, this ancient tree apparently becomes part of her meridians.

The meridians for Qi cultivation and the Hidden Meridians for Divine Arts cultivation are also fully connected because of this ancient tree, no longer separated.

Qi and spiritual power, using the Life Ancient Tree as a medium, parted and converged, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, becoming purer and more condensed. Only then did Han Yan realize that this Life Ancient Tree also serves the purpose of refining impurities.

The greater surprise follows close behind: with the continuous refinement from the Life Ancient Tree, the originally distinct spiritual power and Qi show signs of blending seamlessly. As the two intertwined and flowed within the meridians, if Han Yan were not careful enough to discern, it would be difficult to distinguish them apart.

This discovery made Han Yan ecstatic. Her current Sword Dao Cultivation is suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Divine Continent, making it difficult to demonstrate her strongest sword techniques, and her Priest Cultivation is not particularly high. Only by combining the two can she unleash her most formidable combat power. But the existence of Qi is taboo on the Divine Continent, and if she seeks endless pursuits from the temple, it’s best not to use Qi lightly.

However, after the refining and fusion from the Life Ancient Tree, not even she could easily detect the presence of Qi, let alone others. Han Yan is confident: unless encountering a Divine Soul Priest—equivalent to a Sword Saint—even if she reckless uses her Sword God Technique with full power, it would never be discerned. Even when facing a Divine Soul Priest, as long as she strikes quickly enough, they might not discern any abnormalities.

This undoubtedly becomes her most powerful trump card!

Who says this Life Ancient Tree only benefits the temple and holds little significance for the priest? Only now does Han Yan realize this Life Ancient Tree immensely helps not just Huayu City but the priest themselves. But this is only true for her; for other priests lacking Sword Dao Cultivation, such benefits are not considered advantages. This Life Ancient Tree clearly is a Heaven and Earth Treasure tailor-made for her.

For a long time, the cheers below the temple finally subsided, as Han Yan and others’ joyous hearts returned to peace.

Tens of thousands of civilians again knelt before Han Yan, paying homage. Compared to the priests born from their own clans, the prior bloodshed, and Huayu City reduced to ruins in the inferno were trivial. These priests are the true hope. Though unknown why such a miracle occurred, anyone not foolish could guess that it all relates to the giant seed Han Yan brought.

It was Han Yan who provided them sanctuary, and it was Han Yan who gave them hope. Without the sanctuary of Huayu City and the birth of these priests, clans like them would eventually vanish in the desolate wilderness, forgotten forever.

At this moment, Han Yan became their God, the true God.

Devout yet fervent chanting sounded; eyes filled with gratitude and reverence. Even the temple priests and guards were affected, kneeling single-kneed, hand over heart, softly chanting, paying the highest respect to their Master Priest.

"God’s subjects, through your martial valor and loyalty, you have gained divine recognition and grace. Now, under divine protection, let us rebuild Huayu City. Huayu City will be the most steadfast and prosperous city on the Divine Continent. I promise your clan, your descendants will forever receive the temple’s protection," Han Yan solemnly stated.

Though not attributing the occurrence to the ethereal divine, there’s no alternative. This is the Divine Continent, and speaking otherwise would only leave them bewildered.

Below, roaring cheers arose again, and tears of excitement streamed down all faces.

Without needing further words from Han Yan, the clans began rebuilding their homes, with the Mu Family leading courageously.

Though lacking Array Barrier protection, with the Life Ancient Tree, the power of laws across Huayu City became supremely gentle and calm, even more than temples with Array Barrier protection.

Although the thousand clan members with priest potential hadn’t officially become priests to wield proper Divine Arts, clansmen wandering the wilderness for years mostly practiced Martial Arts, already strong and unfettered by Power of Laws’ suppression and disturbance, thriving like fish in water.

Tens of thousands worked together, forming a spectacular sight. Within an hour, the collapsed city gate was half restored, and giant stones were quarried from nearby peaks. Influenced by the Life Ancient Tree, the surrounding mountains became lush with towering trees and wildflowers; with no previous harsh winds, material gathering became simple and easy.

Han Yan’s eyes also showed relief, previously worried the near-million-year-standing Huayu City would be destroyed due to her actions; now it seems a mere month will suffice for a renovated Huayu City to stand again on the Divine Continent.

"Master Priest, return to the temple and rest; I’ll keep watch here," Yan Qingshan said to Han Yan.

"Thanks for your hard work," Han Yan didn’t refuse.

She lacked the legendary ability to change weather with a wave, unable to assist heavily in rebuilding the city alone. Recently enduring fierce battles, leaving no hidden dangers, with Qi and spiritual power quickly recovering, the great exertion of Divine Sense still left her feeling mentally exhausted and needing rest.

Moreover, An Xiaxin’s condition likely equals hers, and Ye Yi’an’s health requires careful checking.

Soon, everyone returned to the temple.
