Chapter 1008: 736 threat

As for the purpose of the Great Divine Transcendents from the Mystic Sect coming here, Jiang Chen already had a clear idea. It was not to avenge Huang Jiao, for if they were here for revenge, they would have made their move long ago, not waiting until now.

Upon closer consideration, the only treasures that could attract the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect from the Human Race now, besides Fate, were clearly the Chaos Origin Qi that had appeared out of nowhere.

Therefore, Jiang Chen concluded that the Great Divine Transcendents from the Mystic Sect had come for the Chaos Origin Qi.

...

......

Outside the boundary of the Nine States, three figures full of Taoist vitality stood in the void, silently watching Jiang Chen as he approached them.

To this day, there are few among the Great Divine Transcendents who do not know of Jiang Chen. Even those who have secluded themselves from the world in the Prehistoric World would have heard some rumors about him.

Only those Great Divine Transcendents who had already left the Chaos World to cultivate bitterly in the Chaos would be unaware of Jiang Chen.

It was this young man who made the name Jiang Chen legendary. Since the birth of the Prehistoric World, Jiang Chen was the first to possess the power rivaling Great Divine Transcendents at the mere age of three hundred.

This young man was a living legend.

Even the Great Divine Transcendents, after hearing of his experiences, couldn’t help but feel admiration and shock, and they paid him great respect.

He was an existence that could sit on an equal level with them; he had already qualified to become a player in the grand game.

Not many Great Divine Transcendents from the Mystic Sect had come, only three, since they were not here to attack the Human Race but to discuss some matters with Jiang Chen, so naturally, they would not dispatch a large force.

"I pay my respects to the three seniors." Approaching them, Jiang Chen, separated by the barrier of the Nine States, greeted the three Great Divine Transcendents very politely.

As long as they did not show enmity towards the Human Race, Jiang Chen would give anyone a certain level of respect, to let it be known that the Human Race was a land of propriety.

"Greetings, Human King!"

Jiang Chen was polite, and the three Great Divine Transcendents on the other side did not act arrogantly, replying with similar courtesy.

"Human King, let’s dispense with idle chatter. You should be aware of the purpose of our visit. The Chaos Origin Qi that emerged after the demise of our fellow Taoist Huang Jiao, transforming from his Original Source, should rightfully belong to the Immortal Dao, not for the exclusive enjoyment of the Human Race," one of them said.

"Nowadays, Human King, by diverting this stream of Chaos Origin Qi for the exclusive use of the Human Race, aren’t you being a little overbearing?"

After the pleasantries, the three Great Divine Transcendents cut straight to the chase and stated their purpose for coming.

It was indeed for the Chaos Origin Qi!

Since nobody was familiar with each other, there was no need to beat around the bush; stating their intention outright would save a lot of trouble.

"Haha, the three seniors really know how to joke. Huang Jiao was slain by me because he plotted against the Human Race. All his possessions, naturally, count as my spoils of war, including the Chaos Origin Qi transformed from his Original Source after his fall, which is also my spoils of war," Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Since they are my spoils of war, naturally I will deal with them as I see fit. The three seniors shouldn’t concern themselves too much," he continued.

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, not taking their words to heart at all. Huang Jiao had been killed by him, and everything that belonged to him was his spoils of war, to deal with as he wished, and no one could fault him.

Even if this dispute were brought before the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Chen would be in the right. No one dared to say he was wrong. This precedent could not be set; if today he was wrong, then his very spoils of war could be forcibly taken from him.

What about tomorrow? Could such an event happen to someone else?

To prevent the possibility of such incidents occurring, Jiang Chen had to be right, and the cultivators of the world would support him.

Robbing was not done in this manner.

The Mystic Sect clearly coveted the large quantity of Chaos Origin Qi and, feeling envious, sought to take a share to cultivate their disciples. They selected three individuals to represent them, who came to negotiate with Jiang Chen.

Though Great Divine Transcendents were lofty beings, they had disciples and grand-disciples, entire families to sustain. These people, lacking the abilities of Great Divine Transcendents, needed to cultivate, needing resources.

Even Saints had their moments of concern for their disciples; even more so for Great Divine Transcendents.

The Original Source of Huang Jiao, combined with the Original Source of a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure that self-destructed, had become the Chaos Origin Qi enticing enough to move the hearts of Great Divine Transcendents, prompting them to personally enter the fray.

Without exaggeration, the Chaos Origin Qi obtained by Jiang Chen, even just ten percent of it, would be enough to create a Quasi-Saint-level powerhouse, or even several Innate Dao Sovereigns.

Such a substantial benefit was tempting not just to Great Divine Transcendents, but even Jiang Chen himself would be moved by it.

Thus, the Great Divine Transcendents came.

In fact, their aim was not to take all the Chaos Origin Qi, but to share this portion of Chaos Origin Qi with the Human Race, preferably taking half of it.

Half and half—wouldn’t that be fair?

As for why they threw down the gauntlet and directly asked Jiang Chen to hand over the Chaos Origin Qi, that was typical in business negotiations—start with an outrageous demand, then allow room for bargaining, and finally negotiate slowly with Jiang Chen to reach mutually satisfactory terms.

Unfortunately, the Great Divine Transcendents from the Mystic Sect had made a good plan but failed to realize that Jiang Chen was not following conventional tactics and had no intention of bargaining with them.

He wanted all the Chaos Origin Qi, not showing the slightest intention of sharing it with outsiders.

"Jiang Chen, you..."

As if affronted by Jiang Chen’s words, one of the Great Divine Transcendents glared at him, unable to finish his sentence.
