Chapter 1013: 738 Saintess Wudang_2

...

......

"The Chaos Golden Turtle Island beyond Heaven? Unexpectedly, Elder Sister had actually gone to Master’s place, but that’s normal,"

From the feedback obtained from the jade amulet, Jiang Chen confirmed Saintess Wudang’s current location, which was indeed the Chaos Golden Turtle Island beyond Heaven.

A disciple going to the master’s domain for seclusion was a common occurrence, nothing worth questioning. However, Golden Turtle Island was extremely far from the Nanbuzhan Continent, and it would be quite a while before Saintess Wudang could make it here.

Bearing this in mind, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t foolishly wait here for Saintess Wudang, but instead released his divine thought, enveloping the entire Nanbuzhan Continent, beginning to perceive the changes between Heaven and Earth.

For Jiang Chen now, what he lacked the most was time. Every minute, every second was extremely precious and not to be wasted.

It was strange, theoretically speaking, cultivators were the least lacking in time, but for Jiang Chen, everything was in disarray.

Nowadays, Jiang Chen’s strength was so immense that, with a mere extension of his divine thought, the whole Nanbuzhan Continent was under his coverage, clearer than what eyes could see, no change could escape his perception.

The various changes occurring between Heaven and Earth due to the revival of the dragon vein were all reflected in his mind.

Jiang Chen was comprehending the Tao. From prosperity to decline, from decline to prosperity, everything contained the supreme truth of Heaven and Earth, which was Heaven and Earth performing the Tao, employing the life and death of Heaven and Earth to deduce the Path of Reincarnation.

Why Jiang Chen remained in the Nanbuzhan Continent, apart from suppressing this place, was more importantly to comprehend the Path of Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth.

Reincarnation encompasses everything; mastering it would undoubtedly perfect Jiang Chen’s own Great Dao, making his transformation even more flawless.

A cycle of reincarnation was a process of transformation.

Jiang Chen gained an enlightenment; should he truly grasp the Path of Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth, then his transformation into a Chaos Demigod wasn’t far off.

It’s just a pity that Nanbuzhan Continent is still too small. To deduce the Path of Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth from it, the encapsulated truths are still too shallow.

Should he be able to use the entire Three Realms to deduce the Path of Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth, then Jiang Chen might really transform into a Chaos Demigod and step into the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of Primordial.

Skipping the Quasi-Saint realm and advancing directly from Innate Dao Sovereign to Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial might seem like a fantasy, but in reality, it wasn’t impossible.

Above the Innate Dao Sovereign lies the Quasi-Saint for the creatures of Prehistoric World. But for a Chaos Demigod, that’s not the case.

The key to the Quasi-Saint realm lies in stepping out of the River of Time and Space. However, in Chaos, where there’s no concept of time, naturally, there’s no such thing as a River of Time and Space. Without the River of Time and Space, how can one step out?

Thus, in the cultivation realm of a Chaos Demigod, there is no Quasi-Saint stage. Above the Innate Dao Sovereign lies the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

When a Chaos Demigod breaks through, it is always directly from Innate Dao Sovereign to Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. If Jiang Chen were to transform into a Chaos Demigod, then his breakthrough would directly be into the realm of Daluo Jinxian of Primordial, not as a Quasi-Saint.

"Remodeling the Chaos World is the opportunity for me to achieve the Primordial,"

Suddenly enlightened, Jiang Chen finally realized that the so-called remodeling of the Chaos World was indeed his chance to achieve the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Once the remodeling of Heaven and Earth is successful, he would be able to comprehend the principle of the Path of Reincarnation, leap into the form of a Chaos Demigod, and achieve the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. By then, transcending Heaven and Earth, flawless Primordial, undying and indestructible, becoming Emperor Ziwei would be a matter of ease.

"Within lies the Chaos Heaven and Earth, outside lies the Prehistoric World, one inside and one outside, merging internal and external, only then can one cultivate the supreme Dao Fruit."

With new realizations, Jiang Chen’s mind became enlightened, comprehending the Path of Reincarnation with newfound clarity, feeling the endless supreme truths of Heaven and Earth rotating in his mind.

It wasn’t until three days later, when Saintess Wudang arrived, that Jiang Chen somewhat reluctantly awoke from his comprehension.

"Elder Sister, please come in and chat,"

As Jiang Chen’s voice fell, a brilliant golden light burst in the space between Heaven and Earth, spreading out in the void, forming a golden rainbow bridge that extended all the way outside the barrier of the Nine States, right to the feet of Saintess Wudang.

Saintess Wudang had just arrived outside the barrier of the Nine States and was about to speak, asking Jiang Chen to open a passage to let her in. However, before she could speak, a golden rainbow bridge had already been laid out at her feet.

At that moment, she knew Jiang Chen was aware of her arrival. Without any formalities, Saintess Wudang stepped onto the rainbow bridge and walked towards where Jiang Chen was.

...

"Yu Dou pays respects to elder sister.

In the center of the Nine States, seeing Saintess Wudang approaching, Jiang Chen smiled and greeted her.

"Little brother, it’s been a long time," she said.

Watching Jiang Chen approach, Saintess Wudang felt a wave of emotions. She wanted to say something but did not know how to start. Eventually, a thousand words were compressed into a simple greeting.

Indeed, she didn’t know what to say. It had only been a century or two since they last met, yet Jiang Chen had changed dramatically. If she hadn’t known it was impossible for someone to seize his body, Saintess Wudang would have suspected that some important figure had taken over Jiang Chen.

"Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Little brother, you must have urgently summoned me here for something important?"

Regaining her composure and remembering the purpose of her visit, Saintess Wudang didn’t bother with small talk and directly asked.

Jiang Chen’s current strength was even greater than hers, and any problem that even he found troublesome must naturally be complex.

Thinking of her master’s instructions before coming here, Saintess Wudang’s heart grew heavier. The issue involved their junior brothers and sisters; if Jiang Chen couldn’t solve it, even their master would have to be cautious.

Linking these clues together, it was hard not to overthink, fearing it might be related to ancient grievances.

"Elder sister, don’t overthink it. I’ve called you here for good news, not bad," he said.

Seeing Saintess Wudang’s expression suddenly turn somber, Jiang Chen immediately guessed she might be overthinking and quickly explained.

"Good news? What good news?" Saintess Wudang asked, puzzled and surprised.

"Elder sister, in the battle of ’Investiture of the Gods,’ many disciples of Jiejiao Sect died; their bodies and spirits completely destroyed, beyond help. Let’s not talk about those in the west," he said.

"But as for the remaining Jiejiao Sect disciples, some were converted by the west and became mounts for the pseudo-Buddhas, enduring endless torment."

"Another part of Jiejiao Sect disciples, whose true spirits entered the Investiture of the Gods’ list, were ennobled. Although they seem to hold high positions and wield great power, in reality, they are driven by others and are not free."

"And now, those suffering in the west, our junior brothers, and sisters, have already been rescued by us. But those in Heaven Court are still being driven by others, and we should plan something for them."

Without directly answering Saintess Wudang’s question, Jiang Chen first provided some background.

"Plan for our junior brothers and sisters in Heaven Court? What do you mean, little brother?"

Saintess Wudang was no fool; she grasped his meaning immediately—that there was a way to save the disciples whose true spirits entered the Investiture of the Gods’ list.

Although she felt it was impossible, since Jiang Chen said so, he must be partly confident.

With that in mind, Saintess Wudang’s gaze towards Jiang Chen suddenly brightened.

Jiejiao Sect was destroyed, leaving only her alive. Heaven only knows how Saintess Wudang managed to survive these years.

Seeing Saintess Wudang’s hopeful gaze, Jiang Chen did not withhold any information and quickly shared his plan with her.

"Elder sister, I have gained an opportunity that brings a new dawn to the Nine States. If part of our junior brothers and sisters’ true spirits in Heaven Court can reincarnate into the Human Race and start their cultivation anew, they could leverage the fate of the Human Race to sever their connection with the Investiture of the Gods, thereby regaining their freedom."

Having said this, Jiang Chen fell silent, waiting for Saintess Wudang’s response.

Do not underestimate Saintess Wudang because she is a woman. She is a tough nut to crack, and in later generations, she even schemed against saints.

In a timeline without Jiang Chen, it was Saintess Wudang who established the lineage of the Shangqing. How did she establish it? By usurping Zhang Daoling’s Taoism and fiercely calculated against the Saint of Taiqing.

To have taken advantage of the Saint of Taiqing, there is no need to speak further of Saintess Wudang’s capabilities.
