Chapter 1087: 779 Impulse_2

Jiang Chen’s heart had long harbored the intent to kill these twelve fierce beasts. Both publicly and privately, these twelve fierce beasts deserved death.

In the public interest, such calamities harmful to Heaven and Earth should be eradicated by all. Privately, if these twelve fierce beasts were allowed to grow, when they eventually emerged, the Human Race, as the protagonists of Heaven and Earth, would undoubtedly be their first target.

Therefore, these twelve fierce beasts must absolutely not be spared, even if Xing Tian did not trade with Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would not let them go.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Jiang Chen, any other person, as long as they were not of the Demonic Way, would harbor the intent to kill upon seeing these twelve fierce beasts.

This is the basic principle of all beings in Heaven and Earth, to fight for its protection. Only the cultivators of the Demonic Way, who are fixated on destroying the Prehistoric World, would feel delight upon seeing these twelve fierce beasts.

"A great calamity of Heaven and Earth, it must be eradicated!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Chen suppressed the pain in his eyes and turned to leave the place.

Nowadays, with his weak strength, this was all he could do. He was unable to thoroughly resolve the issue here. However, once he obtained the twelve Golden Men left by the First Emperor, then the end of these twelve fierce beasts would come next.

It wasn’t just these twelve fierce beasts that were similar to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but also the twelve Golden Men.

In a way, these twelve fierce beasts were like beings born for the twelve Golden Men, perfectly compatible with them.

By devouring all twelve fierce beasts, Jiang Chen could fulfill the unfinished wishes of the First Emperor and cultivate the twelve Golden Men to the highest realm. Perhaps he could even contend with a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, that was a possibility.

......

.........

After leaving Changyang Mountain, Jiang Chen cast one deep glance at the twelve torn Duotian Shenfans hidden deep in the void, then he disappeared into the void.

Jiang Chen had left, departing from Changyang Mountain, but he didn’t go straight to the Netherworld to meet Mother Earth. Instead, he found a quiet place and began to think seriously.

Jiang Chen felt that his visit to the Netherworld to see Mother Earth might not go smoothly.

If he had been unaware of the conflict between the Upper Qing Saints and Mother Earth, he would have been confident, believing that if he asked for Xing Tian’s axe, Mother Earth would surely not refuse, given the relationship between the Witch Clan and the Human Race.

But knowing of the conflict between the Upper Qing Saints and Mother Earth, Jiang Chen was no longer optimistic. Would Mother Earth really agree to his request?

Regardless of whether the Upper Qing Saints did it deliberately, the fact that his plan had interfered with Mother Earth’s was true. With this cause and effect, who could guarantee Mother Earth held no grudge?

Jiang Chen might belong to the Human Race, but he was also the direct disciple of an Upper Qing Saint. It’s said that when a master is in trouble, the disciple should bear the labor, and it’s normal for the disciple to take the blame for the troubles a master incurs. Conversely, the same is true.

The relationship between master and disciple is one, the master incurs trouble, and the disciple, having inherited his mantle, is influenced by it, which is only right and proper, and nobody could disagree.

Conversely, the disciple’s skills are taught by the master, and if the disciple causes trouble, it is because the master was not strict, and the blame falls on the master, which is also right and proper, and no one could raise an objection.

In the Prehistoric World, the mentor-disciple inheritance relationship is much more intimate than that of father and son, it is truly a case of shared honors and shared tribulations.

A father’s relation is but for one lifetime, but a master’s is for lifetimes. After a disciple’s death, the master must go to the afterlife to seek the soul of the reincarnated disciple and guide them into Taoism once again.

Thus, under such a binding relationship, the troubles of an Upper Qing Saint become Jiang Chen’s troubles.

"Alas, what trouble!"

Amidst the vast emptiness, Jiang Chen found a random spot to sit cross-legged, his face filled with worry.

At his level of cultivation, any premonitions were bound to come true. Since he felt that there would be trouble during this trip to the Netherworld, it could almost be certain that his journey would not be smooth. Going rashly would merely result in a futile return.

Therefore, he needed to come up with a surefire method, one that would definitely move Mother Earth, before setting off for the Netherworld. Otherwise, no matter how many trips he made to the Netherworld, it would simply be a waste of effort.

"I wonder how the situation is with my senior sister?" After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think of his senior sister, Saintess Wudang. If nothing unexpected occurred, she should be in the Netherworld at this moment, accompanying the gods of the Jiejiao Sect to the Reincarnation Hall to meet Mother Earth.

"I wonder if the senior sister and the others have met Mother Earth." Jiang Chen couldn’t help but overthink; since he had a premonition that his journey would not go smoothly, it stood to reason that the gods of the Jiejiao Sect from the same camp wouldn’t have it easy either.

It wouldn’t make sense for Mother Earth to favor some and neglect others, singling out Jiang Chen but not targeting the gods of the Jiejiao Sect, right?

"Senior sister, where are you now?"

With a thought, Jiang Chen tried to contact Saintess Wudang with a secret method, but no matter how he tried, there was no response.

This caused Jiang Chen’s heart to gradually sink. Could it be that the senior sister and the others were detained in the Netherworld by Mother Earth?

Jiang Chen was very puzzled and tried to calculate with the Innate Eight Diagrams, but all he saw was chaos, and he couldn’t figure anything out.

This was normal; if matters pertaining to a saint could be discerned by Jiang Chen, he would have become the emperor of the Human Race long ago and wouldn’t be as helpless as he was today.

"What’s the situation with my master? Could it be that he didn’t reach an agreement with Mother Earth?"

Jiang Chen increasingly felt that things were getting out of his control. Logically, for such a major event as the Jiejiao Sect gods reincarnating through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Upper Qing Saints would surely have discussed it with Mother Earth to secure her leniency.

When it came to reincarnation, one should not underestimate the stance of Mother Earth; it could even be said that her attitude determined everything. To a certain extent, it could change the destiny of a life.

If she allows you to become an immortal, even if you’re not supposed to be one, you can become one, and if she wants you to become a mortal, then even an immortal will become a mortal.

As long as you haven’t transcended Heaven and Earth, everything is under the control of reincarnation. Even the lofty Quasi-Saints can’t escape the grasp of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish and can be easily brought down to dust.

"It’s also not necessarily problematic. The connection between my senior sister and me could be severed by a powerful force. If the senior sister is currently in the Hall of Reincarnation, then it would make sense that I’m unable to contact her."

One should always think positively. Jiang Chen felt that he might be overthinking things. Saints always plan meticulously, and the Upper Qing Saints must have a strategy, definitely not allowing Saintess Wudang and the others to fall into the Netherworld.

That Hall of Reincarnation is Mother Earth’s Taoist Field, second only to the sacred items in the Purple Void Palace of the Taoist Ancestors. If Saintess Wudang were inside, it would be normal that Jiang Chen couldn’t make contact.

"What’s going on? Why do I feel like Mother Earth wouldn’t target the senior sister and the others but would instead specifically target me?"

"Ah, this damn premonition!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition forming in his mind. He suspected that his own master had betrayed him, causing Mother Earth to aim all her aggression at him, thereby sparing the gods of the Jiejiao Sect.

This feeling came out of nowhere, but Jiang Chen knew it could very well be true.

These spontaneous insights were exactly as described: arriving without warning, heralding things that hadn’t yet happened, or were about to happen.

This was what practice was about: logic didn’t apply. If it did, would it still be called practice? Turning the false into true, making the impossible possible—that was the essence of practice. Where was the logic in that?

None!

...

"How did my master betray me?"

"The way master handled this matter is not right. Even if he betrayed me, he should have at least given me a hint so that I would be prepared."

Now, Jiang Chen had no doubt that the Upper Qing Saints had betrayed him. He just wanted to know how exactly the Upper Qing Saints had done it. Only by understanding the deal between the Upper Qing Saints and Mother Earth could he formulate a targeted plan.

Unfortunately, the Upper Qing Saints had completely forgotten about Jiang Chen now and hadn’t given him any hints. However, he could be certain that there should be no danger for him this time. No matter how the Upper Qing Saints betrayed Jiang Chen, it wouldn’t be to send him to his death.

Ps: It turns out that there are still guaranteed monthly tickets.

Although I’m not capable, I still have to ask for the guaranteed monthly tickets, aaah!
