Chapter 1116: 794 Great wisdom may appear foolish

Jiang Chen had gathered thousands of Pangu Axe Fragments, but they were merely an insignificant portion of the total. In the endless expanse of time and space, many more fragments awaited discovery.

The Chaos Treasure, the most powerful Magic Treasure beneath the Great Dao; no other treasures in the world surpassed their might.

Upon their shattering, the fragments, not to mention transforming into three Innate Treasures, even thirty would suffice.

Now, within the Chaos World, only three Innate Treasures were formed from the fragments of the Pangu Axe, suggesting an unknown number of Pangu Axe Fragments remained undiscovered in the world.

The main purpose of Jiang Chen’s suppression of the promotion of the Dao Mirror was for these undiscovered Pangu Axe Fragments.

When the Dao Mirror was promoted to an Innate Treasure, its Original Source’s aura would inevitably leak. Using this as a trigger, Jiang Chen could set up the Twelve Duotian God-killing Array, perhaps forcefully summoning the scattered Pangu Axe Fragments from various places between Heaven and Earth.

With this setup, the Dao Mirror, having merged with most of the Pangu Axe Fragments, would not only match the power of those three opened-sky treasures but at least reach a level comparable to them.

Jiang Chen desired not just a mid-grade Innate Treasure, but the most supreme among them, one that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Open Sky Treasures.

His ambition was vast!

Thus, he would wait for a perfect opportunity to promote the Dao Mirror.

...

...

"Fellow Daoist, I take my leave!"

After obtaining the Pangu Axe Fragment, Jiang Chen, without any hesitation, bowed towards the direction of Xing Tian Temple’s gate and turned to leave immediately.

His demeanor was as if he hadn’t noticed anything unusual prior.

"He left?"

"Did he discover it?"

"When I handed over the Pangu Axe Fragment just now, his eyes showed a flicker of shock and confusion. Although he concealed it well, I still noticed it."

"He must have sensed something."

Shortly after Jiang Chen left, a rough voice suddenly echoed inside the temple. If Jiang Chen were there, he surprisingly would’ve recognized it as the voice of Xing Tian, who was sealed within Changyang Mountain.

Looking towards the inside of Xing Tian Temple, one could see that the scene within the great hall was not as Jiang Chen had imagined, filled with various treasures, but rather occupied by a huge Blood Pool in the center.

Besides that, there was nothing else inside Xing Tian Temple, but a vast empty space.

The Blood Pool in the center of the great hall was not the common square shape, but a very rare dodecagonal shape, each of its sides engraved with statues of the Twelve Ancestral Witches holding the Duotian Shenfan.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the statues of the Twelve Ancestral Witches on the walls of the pool glowing, flickering as though breathing, continuously swallowing various Innate Yuan Qi from the void. After processing through the Twelve Duotian God-killing Array, it transformed into streams of purplish-black blood light, flowing into the Blood Pool.

Indeed, the blood in the Blood Pool was not the common red but a very rare purplish-black color.

In the mundane world, gold is most valued.

Among cultivators, purple is most revered.

Purple is the color of the Great Dao. According to legend, the blood of the Pangu Great God was a purplish-gold color.

As descendants of the bloodline of the Pangu Great God, the Witch Clan’s blood was purple. However, born with the Qi of opening the sky and Sha Qi, their blood underwent a mutation, turning from purple to purplish-black.

In the blood of the Witch Clan, purple represents the Pangu Great God, and black represents the Qi of opening the sky and Sha Qi.

The blood in this Blood Pool, being purplish-black, indicates that it is the blood of the Witch Clan.

Moreover, from the shape of this Blood Pool and the statues of the Twelve Ancestral Witches on its walls, it can be seen that the blood of the Witch Clan in the pool was not transformed from their flesh and blood but rather forcibly restored through the Twelve Heavenly God-killing Array transforming the Innate Yuan Qi.

This is Innate Witch Blood, also known as the blood of Pangu, though not very pure.

Gurgle!

Bubbles continuously formed in the Blood Pool, as if something inside was devouring the blood.

Looking further down, one could see a huge purple heart in the depths of the Blood Pool, constantly throbbing. Each time it throbbed, a large amount of the blood of Pangu was devoured by it.

This heart, not only entirely purple, radiated an aura of divinity and sanctity, making it seem as though it was the most noble and perfect existence in the world.

In its presence, even the Heavenly Dao seemed trivial and flawed.

Unfortunately, this heart was illusory, merely a projection and not truly existent, which marred its existence somewhat.

This heart was none other than a treasure of the Witch Clan, also the physical remnant of the Pangu Great God, the Heart of Pangu, the heart of the Pangu Great God!

Originally, the blood in this Blood Pool was not pure, merely possessing a trace of the charm of Pangu. Yet, under the influence of even just a projection of the Heart of Pangu, the blood in the Blood Pool underwent a transformation, becoming purer, truly acquiring some of the grand presence of Pangu’s blood.

Simply put, the blood in this Blood Pool now barely possessed the ability to nurture the Innate Witch Clan.

Inside Xing Tian’s Divine Palace, there existed a huge Blood Pool, with a projection of the Heart of Pangu inside it, continuously transforming the blood of Pangu.
