Chapter 1115: 793 Pangu Axe Fragment_2

Thus, Xing Tian’s Divine Abilities had almost no weaknesses and could only be forcefully breached.

...

Jiang Chen glanced at the restrictions Xing Tian had left on the door and quietly calculated, discovering that to forcefully break this restriction, he would at least need the strength of a Great Divine Transcendent.

Generally, hardly any outsiders would come to the location of Xing Tian’s Divine Palace. However, it was always better to be safe than sorry—what if someone did come?

Being unafraid of theft did not mean there would be no defenses. Xing Tian also worried that someone might rob his home after he was sealed, so he left many defensive measures.

The restriction in front of them was just the first barrier; beyond that door was also an incarnation left by Xing Tian, possessing eighty percent of his cultivation.

Furthermore, Xing Tian’s Divine Palace was connected to Mother Earth’s Reincarnation Palace. Should anyone with overwhelming power arrive, the treasures inside would instantly be transferred to the Reincarnation Palace.

How did Jiang Chen know all this? Because Xing Tian had told him.

As for the purpose, it was to guard against Jiang Chen getting greedy and robbing his palace.

Xing Tian hadn’t said this, but Jiang Chen had guessed it himself. Since Xing Tian wouldn’t even let him inside the main hall, it was clear he was wary, guarding against him.

"Xing Tian is really cautious. What status do I hold? What treasures haven’t I seen? Why would I covet his paltry items?"

"It’s truly laughable."

Jiang Chen’s attitude was somewhat displeased, which was normal, considering anyone would be irritated being treated like a thief.

He didn’t even know what treasures Xing Tian stored inside that kept him from even having a look inside.

Without going in, how was he to take away the Pangu Axe Fragment?

"Human Race’s Jiang Chen, I’ve come to take the Pangu Axe Fragment as agreed."

After complaining inwardly for a while, Jiang Chen remembered Xing Tian’s instructions, and with dissatisfaction, he formed a law seal and struck towards the door in front of him.

Jiang Chen couldn’t enter, but inside Xing Tian’s Divine Palace, there was an incarnation of Xing Tian that could definitely send the Pangu Axe Fragment out.

The law seal transmitted to Jiang Chen by Xing Tian was meant for contacting his incarnation to discuss their transaction and then have him hand over the Pangu Axe Fragment to Jiang Chen.

"Making it so mysterious has sparked my curiosity."

Honestly, Jiang Chen initially had no interest in Xing Tian’s Divine Palace. However, with Xing Tian setting things up like this, he became somewhat intrigued, wanting to see what was inside the palace.

The restriction left by Xing Tian was indeed powerful, but Jiang Chen’s cultivation was not sufficient. However, he had many treasures that, with the mysteriousness of the Tao Mirror, could completely ignore the divine palace’s external restrictions and directly view the inside scenery.

Unfortunately, after some thought, Jiang Chen decided to abandon this idea. Currently, they were still in a cooperative relationship, and this was still the other’s territory; there was no need to stir up trouble over such a small matter. If it damaged the relationship between the two clans, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Swish—

While Jiang Chen was contemplating, the main gate of the great hall in front of him suddenly erupted in a burst of radiant divine light, all the runes trembling. The void was like water ripples, waving in layers.

Then, block after block of black iron, nearly a thousand pieces in total, surged out from the ripples, flying towards Jiang Chen.

These were all fragments of the Pangu Axe!

Xing Tian used the power of the Witch Clan and spent tens of millions of years collecting Pangu Axe fragments across the Prehistoric World, an undoubtedly astonishing feat.

He alone possessed nearly a thousand fragments of the Pangu Axe, more than all the fragments Jiang Chen had acquired combined.

Without exaggeration, if all these fragments could be fused together, they would be enough to forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure no inferior to Xing Tian’s axe.

"Hm?"

However, despite the abundance of Pangu Axe fragments before him, at that moment, Jiang Chen’s attention was not drawn by them, but instead, he looked uncertainly towards the Xing Tian Divine Palace in front of him.

It might have been an illusion, but just now, when those Pangu Axe fragments emerged from the Xing Tian Divine Palace, Jiang Chen felt a trace of Xing Tian’s breath. Not the breath of the incarnation, but of the true body!

A manifestation is just a manifestation, distinct from its original form. Even if it seems similar, it is merely a representation of power and lacks the Innate True Spirit, so Jiang Chen would absolutely not mistake it.

However, this was strange. Wasn’t Xing Tian’s original body sealed beneath Changyang Mountain? Why then did it appear in the Xing Tian Temple far within the Netherworld?

Releasing his Divine Thought, Jiang Chen attempted to sense something further, but unfortunately, the grand doors of Xing Tian Temple had closed, severing all connections with the outer world and leaking not a trace of aura.

After sweeping with his Divine Thought for a long time, Jiang Chen discovered nothing, as if the feeling he had before was merely an illusion.

It could not possibly be an illusion.

Given Jiang Chen’s current cultivation level, there was no such thing as an illusion for him—there either was something, or there was not. How could he have felt wrong?

"There’s a serious problem!"

This sudden realization caused Jiang Chen to neglect even the fragments of the Pangu Axe he cared most about, as he stared blankly for quite some time before finally turning his attention to the nearly a thousand Pangu Axe fragments that had flown in front of him.

"Nearly a thousand fragments!"

"Xing Tian is truly remarkable!"

"With so many Pangu Axe fragments, plus the Xing Tian Axe, it’s certainly enough to elevate the Tao Mirror to the level of an Innate Treasure."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jiang Chen looked at the Pangu Axe fragments in front of him, his face barely concealing a smile.

He just needed the Tao Mirror to devour these Pangu Axe fragments and the Xing Tian Axe, and then he would possess a second flawless Innate Treasure.

As of now, Jiang Chen possessed three Innate Treasures in total. He was only slightly less wealthy than Hongjun Daizu when he had first become a Saint, justifiably considered the wealthiest in the Prehistoric World today.

However, each of these three Innate Treasures, except for the Chaos Green Lotus, had issues. For instance, the Innate Sun, Moon, and Stars Map was unable to combine into one due to interference from the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

With the help of the Divine Palace of Cycle, it could still unleash the power of an Innate Treasure, but since the four maps are not united, it cannot be considered a complete Innate Treasure. Not to mention the Purple Mist Star Map has not yet returned to its place, making the unity of the Innate Sun, Moon, and Stars Map far from complete.

Although the Tao Mirror met the criteria to ascend to an Innate Treasure, it had not begun the ascension yet.

Moreover, Jiang Chen thought about it and decided to delay the ascension of the Tao Mirror for now.

With a thought, Jiang Chen sent the Xing Tian Axe into the body of the Tao Mirror for it to devour, but he kept the fragments of the Pangu Axe.

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the edge of a blade. Once the Tao Mirror ascends to an Innate Treasure, it will undergo a complete transformation, and then, it will surely reciprocate a tremendously vast power from the original source.

The power reciprocated by an Innate Treasure—how strong must that be? Not to mention helping Jiang Chen break through to a Quasi-Saint, it almost wouldn’t be too far off from breaking through to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Therefore, allowing the Tao Mirror to ascend now would be too wasteful. It is better to find the perfect timing, ideally at the most critical moment, to create a potentially game-changing effect.

Imagine, in Jiang Chen’s most desperate times, the Tao Mirror suddenly ascends to an Innate Treasure and reciprocates to him a power beyond imagination.

In such a scenario, even if a Saint personally orchestrated a trap to kill Jiang Chen, he would be confident of escaping. After all, the level of an Innate Treasure corresponded to that of a Saint.

Beneath a Saint, what living being could contend against a Saint? Only with the help of an Innate Treasure!

With an Innate Treasure in hand, it’s like having the qualification to survive the hands of a Saint.

The ascension of the Tao Mirror, for Jiang Chen, is his ultimate trump card; thus, he must wait for the best possible moment to maximize its effect.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had other plans for the ascension of the Tao Mirror. If it were to ascend now, it would at most become a mid-grade Innate Treasure, far from reaching the level of a supreme treasure of creation.

How could Jiang Chen be satisfied with that?

Thus, when the time comes for the Tao Mirror to ascend, Jiang Chen plans to accomplish a great feat. He intends to use the power of formations to forcibly recall the Pangu Axe fragments scattered across Heaven and Earth.

When the Pangu Axe shattered, the fragments formed were not merely millions but as numerous as the stars.

ps: I was preparing for a big event, but then the power went out, damn, I was almost cooked.

It goes out once every month or two, I thought I was back in 2012.
