Chapter 1011: 737 Worry_2

No one believed that Jiang Chen’s words were merely spoken in vain. Since the Human King’s orders had been issued, if not followed, then Jiang Chen’s authority as the Human King would be completely gone.

"We obediently comply with Your Majesty’s decree!"

Not long after Jiang Chen’s voice fell, countless powerful beings from the Human Race across the Three Realms responded. Their auras erupted, joining together and shaking the entire Three Realms.

At this moment, all beings of the Three Realms were filled with fear; since Ancient Times, they had once again felt the earth-shaking strength of the Human Race.

...

...

"At this moment, with the revival of the Nine States dragon veins imminent, Heaven and Earth will inevitably undergo changes, giving rise to endless wonders. You must all carefully monitor these phenomena to prevent them from harming the living beings of the Nine States."

After glancing at the recovering Nine States Continent, Jiang Chen continued giving orders.

The revival of the dragon veins, though largely a good thing, could also bring about various calamities. It was inevitable that the revival would cause the earth to quake and mountains to shake, meaning the Nine States would face frequent earthquakes during this period.

Cultivators have no fear of earthquakes, but mortals do. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary for cultivators to take action, to protect the living beings of the Nine States during the seismic events, to prevent them from danger.

"We comply with the decree!" The strong of the Nine States promptly responded. Since ancient times, the strong have protected the weak, which is the fundamental principle that has allowed the Human Race to continue until today. Even if Jiang Chen did not mention it, these powerful beings of the Human Race would still protect the mortals.

The revival of the dragon veins is a good thing, but if it turns into a disaster, that would be unfortunate.

...

...

After giving these commands, Jiang Chen left his original place and headed straight for the center of the Nine States.

The revival of the Nine States dragon veins had an extremely huge impact. It wasn’t just about the spiritual energy becoming richer; what truly demanded attention were the series of changes that followed the enrichment of the spiritual energy.

Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the Nine States contained countless secret realms, Cave Heavens, and blessed lands. However, as spiritual energy gradually thinned, these special spaces either left the Nine States or closed themselves off in order to avoid being affected by the increasingly declining Nine States.

But now, with the revival of the Nine States dragon veins and the spiritual energy once again growing thick, these secret realms and Cave Heaven Blessed Lands would reappear, one by one, in front of the world.

Not to mention other places, the Ancestral Land of the Human Race would certainly descend back to the Nine States. The Great Desolation of the Jiang Family, along with the secret realms owned by other noble families, would all reappear and integrate with the Nine States, that is, the Nanbuzhan Continent.

People always say that among the four major continents, Dongsheng Divine Continent is the largest. In fact, this is not necessarily true. Nanbuzhan Continent is also not small and might not be smaller than Dongsheng Divine Continent. How could the land cherished by the Human Path be ordinary?

The initial Nanbuzhan Continent was indeed large, not belonging to the newly born Dongsheng Divine Continent. But later, as spiritual energy dispersed, the major families separated some special regions from the Nine States to preserve them, turning them into a variety of secret realms.

The most typical examples are the Ancestral Land of the Human Race and the secret realms where the major families of the Human Race resided.

Having so much territory divided away, could the current Nanbuzhan Continent not be small?

Now, with the revival of the Nine States dragon veins, these special regions that were once separated will reappear and merge with the Nine States, bringing back the originally vast Nanbuzhan Continent.

What was once a journey of a single mile could suddenly become a hundred or a thousand miles’ journey. Such changes have a significant impact on the Nanbuzhan Continent.

Thankfully, with Jiang Chen deliberately suppressing these changes, they would not be completed in a short period. Instead, it would take a long time, subtly and imperceptibly changing.

Jiang Chen is the Human King; the noble families of the Human Race would be mad to oppose him. With a single order from Jiang Chen, no matter how difficult, those families would actively cooperate with him.

The noble clans, evolved from the ancient families of old, understood more clearly what it meant to be the Human King; to disobey his order and be killed was to have no grounds for reasoning.

The changes were controllable, and what worried Jiang Chen were not these things but another type of disaster. As the Dragon Vein revived, those ancient demons sealed within the Nine States might take the opportunity to break free.

Every coin has two sides, and the resurgence of Spiritual Energy naturally wouldn’t bring only benefits but also detriments. In ancient times, many indomitable demons were sealed by the powerful ancients, with the intention to use the long passage of time and the power of the Nine States to slowly erode their life force.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes, and after the ancient times, Heaven and Earth underwent vast changes, something no one anticipated. Originally, according to the ideas of those ancient powerhouses, those ancient demons sealed till this era would surely be dead beyond death.

But due to the great changes in Heaven and Earth, although the seals on the ancient demons hadn’t broken, whether they still had the power to refine and eliminate the demons was now an unknown.

Now, with the revival of the Dragon Vein, those ancient demons that hadn’t perished were very likely to revive and even regain their freedom.

With destruction comes creation; the Nine States declined from its peak and then rose from its decline. This process itself was a great opportunity, containing the principle of the cyclical nature of Heaven and Earth.

But grasping this opportunity depended on one’s insight rather than stance. In other words, regardless of good or evil, as long as one’s insight was sufficient, having gone through this cycle of destruction and creation, anyone could gain enlightenment.

If the Human Race’s strong understood this, it would be a good thing. But if those ancient demons sealed in the past did, it would spell disaster. They might take this chance to break the seal and regain their freedom.

And the ancient demons sealed by ancient powerhouses were at the very least at the level of Innate Dao Sovereigns, for had it been otherwise, they would have been killed by the ancients long ago. Why else would they have been left till today?

Reaching the realm of Innate Dao Sovereigns meant near-immortality and extreme difficulty in being killed; it was for this reason the ancients chose to seal them, hoping to use the passage of time to whittle away their life force.

Did they not wish to kill those demons? It was simply that they couldn’t, for had they been able to, they would have been killed at once.

These ancient demons, each more ferocious than the last, could alone bring cataclysmic disaster to the Human Race of this era, easily devouring countless living beings.

It was these demons that Jiang Chen feared.

That was why he had just ordered countless Human Race experts wandering abroad to quickly return to Nanbuzhan Continent. Officially, it was to guard against foreign races coveting the Chaos essence, but in truth, it was to prepare for those ancient demons that could break their seals at any moment.

As long as enough Human Race experts returned, even if a Quasi-Saint level great ancient demon broke its seal, they could reseal it immediately.

The Human Race lacked experts, but that also depended on the comparison. Against the Great Ancient Witch and demon two clans, the Human Race certainly lacked powerhouses. But compared to all other clans, the Human Race had enough experts to drive them to despair.

...

In just a few steps, Jiang Chen had reached the center of the Nine States, right above the peak of Ji State. Standing there gave him an irresistible feeling that despite the vastness of the Nine States, they all seemed to be within the palm of his hand.

This was an illusion, but at the same time it wasn’t, as the center of the Nine States was where the fate of the Nine States converged, where countless spiritual opportunities collided and spawned various changes. During the Ancient Times, endless Human Race powerhouses yearned to cultivate here, to comprehend the changes of the Nine States.

This was a critical area of the Nine States; aside from the Human King, only those who had made great contributions to the Human Race could cultivate here. Meditating here, one could see all changes of the Nine States at a glance, making cultivation progress startlingly fast.

"Senior Sister, please come for a discussion, Yu Dou has an important matter to consult you about."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Jiang Chen took out a jade talisman and transmitted a message to Saintess Wudang.

In the past, when Shangqing Palace was newly established, Saintess Wudang had come to congratulate him, and upon leaving, she gave Jiang Chen a jade talisman to contact her with.

"After the battle at Spiritual Mountain, Senior Sister has been out of sight; and I do not know where she is now."

The last time Jiang Chen saw Saintess Wudang was when the Mystic Sect attacked Spiritual Mountain, and it was Saintess Wudang who had faced off with Buddha in a bloody battle.
