Chapter 1065: 768 The Trapped Mother Earth_2

"Although Mother Earth’s plan was perfect, it had its flaws, the greatest being its lengthiness. The longer it took, the more uncontrollable factors arose, thus increasing the likelihood of problems,"

Jiang Chen felt that the arrangements initially made by Mother Earth were surely not as simple as what he currently saw; there were likely many more details.

However, as Heaven and Earth fragmented, those details were probably destroyed, leaving only what was before Jiang Chen now.

Indeed, Mother Earth’s plan had problems; the extended duration was prone to complications.

The overwhelming sha qi compressed within the mountain was clear evidence of a flaw in Mother Earth’s arrangements. If it were aiding Xing Tian’s breakthrough, the power compressed inside the mountain should have been Pangu’s power, not sha qi.

It was likely that Mother Earth herself had not anticipated the severe infighting within the Sanqing during the end of the Ancient Times, forcing the Upper Qing Saints to directly act, destroying Heaven and Earth.

During the Enshrinement Calamity, the Upper Qing Saints suddenly upset the table, opting to destroy Heaven and Earth to reestablish the elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, an occurrence that no one had anticipated.

Also, it was precisely because of the actions of the Upper Qing Saints, who deviated from the usual course, that many people’s arrangements were disrupted.

Like King Yu, according to his plan, under the protection of the Great Array of the Nine States, the Nine States should have flourished increasingly. Unfortunately, with the subsequent fragmentation of Heaven and Earth, his plan came to nothing.

Mother Earth’s plan also developed flaws for this reason; Changyang Mountain directly left the Chaos World, drifting alone in the Boundless Void, greatly damaging Mother Earth’s schemes.

If it were merely this, it would be tolerable. However, the fragmentation of Heaven and Earth also spawned endless sha qi. Normally, this sha qi should have gathered together, nurturing a large number of fierce beasts to wreak havoc and vent Heaven and Earth’s dissatisfaction.

Therefore, after each Heavenly Earth Calamity, fierce beasts would become extraordinarily active.

However, an exception occurred this time. On Changyang Mountain, a God-Killing Array of the Twelve Dutian was set up by Mother Earth, which had the ability to absorb the sha qi of Heaven and Earth.

Luckily, due to the fragmentation of Heaven and Earth, the sha qi generated was all absorbed by the God-Killing Array of the Twelve Dutian on Changyang Mountain. Thus, after the Enshrinement Calamity ended, no chaos of fierce beasts ensued.

While the problems on the side of Heaven and Earth were resolved, here at Changyang Mountain, too much absorbed sha qi created significant troubles.

"My goodness, if I’m not mistaken, the overwhelming sha qi inside Changyang Mountain is probably the sha qi generated from the fragmentation of Heaven and Earth during the Enshrinement Calamity," he said.

The case was closed, everything was now clear. Previously, Jiang Chen had found it strange that, with his cultivation, he felt a sense of horror in the presence of this sha qi, which was really unreasonable.

The sha qi must be extremely strong to instill fear in someone as close to being a Great Divine Transcendent as him. Even if Xing Tian were extremely powerful, he shouldn’t emit such potent sha qi.

Now, he had resolved this puzzle. Sha qi accumulated over a whole calamity, how could it not be strong? If left to burst forth, it could surely destroy Heaven and Earth.

"A small amount of sha qi is not only harmless to the Witch Clan but can actually enhance their strength. However, if the sha qi is excessive, even the Witch Clan, naturally attuned to sha qi, can be harmed," he contemplated.

"A calamity’s worth of accumulated sha qi would be too much even for a Great Divine Transcendent like Xing Tian to bear. This time, Mother Earth has really been led into a pit by her master," he stated.

Jiang Chen now hardly knew what to say; Mother Earth’s plan had indeed been perfect, but alas, no one had foreseen the Upper Qing Saints throwing a tantrum.

Now, Mother Earth’s flawless plan had run into significant, unsolvable problems.

It was easy to absorb the sha qi, but dispersing it would be difficult.

Where to disperse it? Wherever it dispersed, it would damage the environment there. Given Mother Earth’s compassion and the duty of Pangu’s descendants, she would never do such a thing.

Moreover, this sha qi was originally ownerless. Even if it caused damage to the Chaos World, the resultant karma would fall upon the Sanqing and the two saints of the west.

It was they who fought and destroyed the Chaos World.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Witch Clan. But unfortunately, the Witch Clan got involved in the middle, thus linking the ownerless sha qi to the Witch Clan.

Because of the Witch Demon Calamity, the Witch Clan had already made a huge mistake. If they were then tainted by the karma of the Enshrinement Calamity, it would truly become indefensible. The fragmentation of Heaven and Earth twice was related to the Witch Clan. What was the Witch Clan trying to do?

Thus, even if the Witch Clan was unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and gather the Sha Qi, preventing it from leaking out and contaminating Heaven and Earth. The Witch Clan really could not bear the consequences of destroying Heaven and Earth anymore.

"This time, it was the Master who deceived Mother Earth, no, not just Mother Earth. Because of the sudden breakthrough and shattering of Heaven and Earth, it wasn’t only Mother Earth who was deceived."

"Trouble, big trouble indeed!"

At this moment, Jiang Chen finally realized, after the fact, how big of a trap his Master, the Upper Qing Saint, had left for him.

At the end of Ancient Times, the Upper Qing Saint suddenly destroyed Heaven and Earth, ruining countless people’s plans.

This is the consequence!

If these people were small-minded and sought revenge against the Upper Qing Saint, they would definitely not confront the Upper Qing Saint directly, but would instead target his disciples.

In the Prehistoric World, disciples and their master were considered as one; if a disciple caused trouble, the master would definitely come out to clean up the mess. Similarly, if the master offended someone, vengeance upon his disciples was also unquestionable.

Responsibility was mutual, and since one benefited, one should be ready to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

"From this perspective, my senior sister’s journey is unlikely to go smoothly."

Thinking of the Jiejiao Sect’s gods about to visit Mother Earth in the Netherworld, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a toothache. Previously unaware, he now suddenly realized, just how badly his own master had deceived Mother Earth. Could the journey of the Jiejiao Sect’s gods really go smoothly?

"Maybe not necessarily, the Master is old and wise, and he surely has a solution."

After pondering, Jiang Chen suddenly felt relieved. He thought that knowing he had offended Mother Earth, the Upper Qing Saint still dared to send disciples to the Netherworld, clearly indicating he had an agreement with Mother Earth.

Otherwise, once the Jiejiao Sect’s gods arrived at the Netherworld and were left hanging by Mother Earth, that would be embarrassing for the Upper Qing Saint.

In fact, now, the Upper Qing Saint had already set out, heading to the Netherworld ahead of his disciples to negotiate terms with Mother Earth.

It was necessary to go first; otherwise, once the disciple arrived at the Netherworld and found that everything was prepared, but the problem was with the master himself, then this master would lose face hugely.

...

......

After pondering in place for a long time, Jiang Chen suddenly moved, walking towards the other side of Changyang Mountain. At this moment, he needed to confirm something and was not in a hurry to enter the interior of Changyang Mountain to meet Xing Tian.

The place he needed to go was directly above Changyang Mountain, a place of Boundless Void, which according to the orientation of the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, was precisely the location of Di Jiang, the chief of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiang Chen’s Taoist robe was glowing, evolving endless weather patterns. This was the Innate All Phenomena Chart, also known as the Dutian Chart, the accompanying magic treasure of Jiang Chen, crafted from fragments of the Ancestral Witches’ banner. This treasure had the closest connection to the Witch Clan.

At the same time, the aura on Jiang Chen’s body also began to change, becoming extremely ethereal, as if merging with the Heaven and Earth’s void, omnipresent.

Pangu’s Boundless Void Great Dao Scripture!

This was the legacy of Di Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, perfectly matching the place Jiang Chen was headed to.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Indeed, as Jiang Chen activated the Boundless Void Great Dao Scripture, the void in front of him suddenly changed, and a vague silhouette gradually appeared before him, vast and ethereal, like the incarnation of the void, it was indeed Di Jiang.

Simultaneously, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a familiar aura. His body’s Innate All Phenomena Chart also began to tremble.
