Chapter 1806: Chosen by the Godly Wood

Red lights twinkled, terrifying cosmic energies rose to the skies and blotted out the sun. The crowd saw intertwining red vines among them. Those were probably the viscera of the Heavenly Grace Ancient Tree. According to legends, the red Godly Wood contained an infinite amount of blood.

“The one the Godly Wood will choose must be like your ancestors, I want you to stay with me and someday I’ll become an emperor! I won’t disappoint you,” said Ji Chang, slowly rising up into the air. Nine dazzling dragons appeared, lights shone out and surrounded the tree.

As expected, when the tree heard Ji Chang, it became even more dazzling. It could understand Ji Chang!

At that moment, those watching saw a silhouette appear under the Heavenly Grace Ancient Tree. That person looked like an ancient great emperor. He was walking next to the tree, in symbiosis with it. Suddenly, the strong cultivator stretched his hands out and embers appeared, the flames glittered. He exhaled and the embers flew away from his hands and turned into dazzling lights which moved towards the distant mountain ranges.

The small embers rose to the skies before descending and turning into real fire mountains. They looked like true ancient mountains.

“Eternal strength,” whispered Ji Chang after he saw the illusion. Lin Feng and the others shivered too. What a terrifying strength. They all swallowed. That fire was eternal and had turned into a mountain!

“Ancient kings had their own path. I will have my own path too. I will become a powerful ancient cultivator someday. I won’t be a disgrace to the Godly Wood,” said Ji Chang confidently. He had the soul of a Champion. The illusion disappeared.

The Heavenly Grace Godly Wood has its own life, thought Lin Feng, amazed. Ji Chang was determined and strong. He really had the potential to become an incredible cultivator. He was never satisfied, always wanting to become stronger and stronger. Without the will to become stronger, a cultivator was destined for failure.

Thunder rumbled. The Heavenly Grace Ancient Tree rose up, the red lights continued blotting out the sky. Suddenly, the tree turned into a bleeding Godly Wood. The crowd frowned. Had the tree chosen and acknowledged Ji Chang?!

The crowd was shivering with excitement. Ji Chang had managed to make the tree submit? Was he going to obtain the tree?

At the top of the mountain, the old man looked at that display and sighed. “It’s the third time in ten years that a tree chose someone. People are really strong these days. The young people of the Godly Wood Clan can’t compete with them. How many new kings will appear in the next hundred years?”

Many people were jealous of the Godly Wood Clan’s people because they had the privilege of guarding the forest. Many times, the situation had almost deteriorated. However, the strong and powerful clans didn’t attack them because anyone could go there and if the trees acknowledged people, then they could leave with them. Therefore, letting the Godly Wood Clan guard the forest wasn’t a problem.

The Heavenly Grace Godly Wood was floating above Ji Chang. The blood-red lights condensed and at that moment, blood appeared and a drop fell down onto Ji Chang’s head and penetrated into his body. Suddenly, Ji Chang’s cosmic energies became much more powerful. He looked eternal.

“You will follow me for a hundred years now,” Ji Chang said proudly. Suddenly, the red Godly Wood started whistling and penetrated into Ji Chang’s body.

It acknowledged him!, thought the crowd in astonishment. They began walking up to him and smiled, “Congratulations, Brother Ji Chang! The Godly Wood acknowledged you! The gods protect you. You will definitely become a king!”

“Brother Ji Chang, you’re amazing. Congratulations. You’ll soon become a champion.”

Ji Chang looked aloof and composed. It was a big step for him. Soon, he’d become a Champion. He suddenly remembered back then when Ying Cheng had become a Champion.

“Ying Cheng, wait for me. Ling Tian is gone, now I’m your new opponent,” said Ji Chang sharply, clenching his fist.

Qi filled the air. The old man reappeared in the sky.

“Ji Chang,” shouted the old man.

Ji Chang raised his head and said, “What is it, Master?”
