Chapter 1061: 766 White Day Star_2

Therefore, only if the gods of the Jiejiao Sect can pass through the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish once, it would truly be a time to rest easy, to reincarnate into the Human Race with the purest state, and even, to benefit greatly in their future.

"Brother is right!"

"Mother Earth is merciful. If brothers and sisters visit her, perhaps moved by compassion, she might bestow a blessing upon them."

Jiang Chen could think of it, so naturally could Saintess Wudang, and even more profoundly. Known for her compassion, Mother Earth, if sought after by the masses, might indeed bestow her blessings and allow the gods of the Jiejiao Sect to pass through the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish.

"I’ll leave all this to Senior Sister. If Mother Earth refuses, I will personally make a trip to the Reincarnation Palace and ask her myself."

In every matter, one must prepare for the worst. If Mother Earth intended to complicate things for the gods of the Jiejiao Sect, Jiang Chen would inevitably have to make a trip to the Netherworld himself.

Having a good relationship with the Witch Clan, influenced by the Flame Emperor, Jiang Chen might have some prestige among the Witch Clan as well.

"Don’t worry, brother. Our master is a Saint, after all, and had a past with Mother Earth. She will give us face."

After saying this, assuring Jiang Chen, Saintess Wudang disappeared, clearly preparing to make arrangements to visit Mother Earth.

"From Heaven Court to the Netherworld, then rushing to the Reincarnation Palace where Mother Earth resides, and meeting her, all this requires time. Without seven or eight days’ work, I’m afraid there will be no results."

"If that’s the case, I’ll take advantage of these days to visit Changyang Mountain first and resolve the matter of restoring the Dao Mirror to an Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Speaking of Mother Earth, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think of her foremost general, also the Witch Clan’s greatest witch, Xing Tian!

Xing Tian!

"Xing" meaning to kill,

"Tian" referring to the Emperor of Heaven!

Xing Tian is a name, and also a verb, implying the intent to behead the Emperor of Heaven.

And the great crime Xing Tian committed was precisely the beheading of the Emperor of Heaven; his crime was considered greater than Wu Ding’s for killing the Emperor of Heaven.

There are hierarchies even among Emperors of Heaven. Undoubtedly, Di Jun was first-rate. The second tier included Emperor Haotian, who was personally invested by the Taoist Ancestors, and was the very Tiandi that Xing Tian beheaded.

The subsequent Emperors of Heaven were merely temporary, nowhere near as prestigious as these two, hence the magnitude of Xing Tian’s crime for slaying Emperor Haotian was greater than Wu Ding’s for killing the Mystic Sect’s Tiandi.

However, greater crime didn’t necessarily mean he faced harsher punishment. After all, Wu Ding was only from the Human Race, of humble origin. Xing Tian’s situation was different, as he hailed from nobility.

Being the first great witch born since the creation of the Prehistoric World, though not a direct blood descendant from Pangu’s Heart like the Twelve Ancestral Witches, he was nonetheless an Innate great witch directly nurtured by Pangu’s Heart.

One could say, if the Twelve Ancestral Witches were Pangu’s legitimate children, then Xing Tian was Pangu’s byblow.

With such a noble origin, even though Xing Tian committed the grave crime of beheading the Emperor of Heaven, he was not sentenced to death but was sealed instead.

It was called a seal, but that wasn’t entirely accurate; it was more an explanation to appease public anger. After all, Xing Tian had killed the Emperor of Heaven, and it would be difficult to justify a lack of punishment.

In truth, it wasn’t so much that Xing Tian was sealed, but rather that the Great Divine Transcendents found a place for him to focus on his cultivation in peace, forbidding him from emerging until he had achieved the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial level.

Receiving similar treatment was Gonggong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

He did not perish either, for, being a descendent of Pangu, even though he committed the great crime of knocking over Mount Buzhou, the Saints could not bring themselves to execute him. Instead, they chained him at the site of the collapsed Mount Buzhou, stating he would be released when the mountain was restored.

Prehistoric World may be a place where the strong prey on the weak, but one’s heritage is equally important. If your ancestry is profound enough, even with weaker abilities, you can still swagger about, protected by Great Divine Transcendents everywhere you go.

Conversely, if you’re not in step, even if by chance you attain an extremely high realm, you won’t be integrated into the top circles, will face ostracism, and should threats arise, scarcely anyone will speak up for you.

In the Prehistoric World, your position determines everything. This saying isn’t just talk, it’s backed by solid evidence.

Both aimed to slay Tiandi, yet look at the fates of Wu Ding and Xing Tian to understand the difference: one completely dissipated while the other, under the pretense of being sealed, quietly retreated to cultivate in peace—the treatment between them was as different as heaven and earth.

Jiang Chen’s journey this time was for Xing Tian! To be precise, it was for the axe in his hand.

What makes Xing Tian so special that even many Great Divine Transcendents yield to him? Ultimately, it’s because he was favored by Pangu Great God, and hence, everyone is particularly caring toward him.

The axe that accompanied Xing Tian since birth, is a superior Innate Spiritual Treasure. This axe is no ordinary tool, priceless beyond words, for it was transformed from a fragment of the Pangu Axe.

Had it not been for the favor of Pangu Great God at the birth of Xing Tian, how could he possess a fragment of the Pangu Axe? This is what makes Xing Tian extraordinary.

And Jiang Chen’s goal this time was that very axe forged from a fragment of the Pangu Axe.

The Tao Mirror was but one step away from its restoration as an Innate Treasure, and this final step, anticipated to be found in Xing Tian’s axe, just needed to assimilate it for the Tao Mirror to ascend immediately to an Innate Treasure. No, perhaps a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure.

Jiang Chen would have to meet Xing Tian sooner or later, but he had not yet figured out how to take the weapon from Xing Tian, which was why he had been delaying his departure.

Today, however, he suddenly thought of Mother Earth and then of Xing Tian, and felt that it was about time for him to meet Xing Tian.

When one contemplates, signs emerge; Jiang Chen’s sudden thought of Xing Tian was a preordained omen, alerting him that the opportunity to meet Xing Tian had arrived. Moreover, Jiang Chen had a vague feeling that his journey ahead might not go smoothly and may not fulfill his wishes.

Nevertheless, there was nothing to worry about, for he had already conceived a strategy to break through the impasse.

The reason for Jiang Chen’s intent to meet Xing Tian was due to mentioning Mother Earth. Thus, if his journey were to encounter difficulties, the key to overcoming them would lay with Mother Earth herself.

As the foremost expert of the Mother Earth Tribe, Xing Tian was wholly obedient to her. It didn’t matter if Xing Tian could not be convinced; as long as Mother Earth was persuaded, everything would fall into place.

Contemplating in his mind, Jiang Chen’s figure flickered, and he vanished from the Ancestral Military Mausoleum without a trace, heading towards Changyang Mountain. It was said that Xing Tian’s head was sealed at this location.

...

......

Shortly after Jiang Chen set off, the celestial phenomenon of stars appearing in broad daylight gradually faded. However, even though the phenomenon had vanished, the changes it had ushered in were just beginning.

In the Three Realms and beyond, anyone with some background knew this phenomenon was related to the Jiejiao Sect deities. Now that it had manifested again, wasn’t it an obvious indication that the members of the Jiejiao Sect were restless and gearing up for action?

Although many had guessed that the Jiejiao Sect deities were stirring things up, the matter did not concern them, and so they were happy to sit back and watch.

Watch whose commotion, naturally, it was that of the Chan Teaching and the Heaven Court. The most anxious with the movements of the Jiejiao Sect deities were whom? Firstly, the Chan Teaching disciples, because they were archenemies with the Jiejiao disciples.

Next was the Jade Emperor. He had no direct feud with the Jiejiao deities, but since they were his subordinates and were scheming behind his back without giving him—their leader—a heads up, he felt disgraced.

Furthermore, most critically, they had already discerned the intentions of the Jiejiao deities—to undertake the act of reincarnation to break free from the control of the Investiture of the Gods.

But what could they do upon realization? Were they to interfere directly?

The Chan Teaching disciples were willing to intervene but lacked a valid reason. If they were to take action, they feared it could lead to fatal consequences. The immortal Nanji is still hiding in the sea; no one wishes to become the next Nanji.

Besides, the Upper Qing Saints had already made their stance known—anyone who dares to harm his disciples will be met with death by his hand.
