Chapter 1136: 804 Execution of the Saint (Requesting Monthly Votes)

The Swords of Slaying Immortals appear to be in the hands of the Jiejiao Sect’s four Golden Immortals on the surface, but in reality, each sword was restricted by the four Saints that broke the array back then, rendering them incapable of resonating with the Jiejiao Sect’s group of immortals.

It could be said that without the permission of the Saints, unless an Upper Qing Saint personally intervenes, no one could retrieve the Swords of Slaying Immortals.

Otherwise, the power of the Chan Teaching’s four Golden Immortals is no match for Saintess Wudang; if they had been able to act, she would have already snatched the Swords of Slaying Immortals back long ago.

"Ideas are conceived by people, and with the wisdom of the young friend, retrieving the Swords of Slaying Immortals shouldn’t be difficult for you."

The Ancestor from Underworld River had confidence in Jiang Chen, for who else possessed such boldness? He dared to attempt restructuring the Chaos World, and in comparison, retrieving the Swords of Slaying Immortals indeed seemed trivial.

"Ancestor, do not flatter me to death!"

Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head, feeling that the Ancestor from Underworld River was overestimating him. Of course, in his heart, he already had a method to retrieve the Swords of Slaying Immortals.

The Swords of Slaying Immortals were indeed precious, but no matter how valuable, they could not be deemed more important than the life of his own disciple in the eyes of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Chen, no, the reincarnated gods of the Jiejiao Sect, capture the Chan Teaching’s Golden Immortals who wield the Swords of Slaying Immortals and threaten their lives, it would be enough to make the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign hesitate and voluntarily lift the Saints’ restrictions on the swords.

This plan was perfect and only the disciples of the Jiejiao Sect could execute it. If someone else tried, it would definitely enrage the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, but if done by the gods of the Jiejiao Sect, even if the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign were angered, he could only endure it. After all, the Upper Qing Saints are still alive.

However, although he already had a feasible plan, Jiang Chen evidently had no intention of revealing it to the Ancestor from Underworld River. At the negotiation table, how could he simply follow the opponent’s line of thinking?

The more the Ancestor from Underworld River desired something, the less Jiang Chen could allow him to obtain it easily, because only in this way could Jiang Chen gain the most benefit.

"Then, what can you offer?"

"The terms you’ve proposed are indeed generous, granting me a large advantage, but it can only exchange for one treasure. For two, it’s still not enough!"

The Ancestor from Underworld River continued, this time without the words "far from," suggesting his attitude had begun to waver from "far from enough" to just "not enough."

"What can I offer?"

"What if I tell the Ancestor that I know how you can achieve the state of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial? What would the Ancestor do then?"

Jiang Chen first mused to himself before speaking to the Ancestor from Underworld River in a low voice, full of temptation.

"What?"

"A method for me to achieve Primordial Chaos?"

Upon hearing this news, the Ancestor from Underworld River could no longer contain his emotions, his eyes alight with excitement as he stared at Jiang Chen, seeking confirmation in his expression that this was not a joke.

The Ancestor from Underworld River was very excited, even more so than when he heard he would regain his freedom. This was the state of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, the goal for which he had strived all his life.

For the sake of enlightenment, he would willingly give up everything.

If Jiang Chen truly had a way to help the Ancestor from Underworld River attain the state of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, then not only the Twelvefold Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Beiming Mystic Yuan Banner, but even if he desired the Yuan Tu and Abi swords, the Ancestor would grit his teeth and not refuse to give them.

"You really have a way to help me attain enlightenment? If the young friend truly has such ability, then I will willingly part with the Twelvefold Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Beiming Mystic Yuan Banner without any conditions, owing the young friend a great favor."

After his excitement, the Ancestor from Underworld River asked cautiously, looking at Jiang Chen for confirmation.

"I do have a method, but whether it can be achieved depends on the Ancestor himself." It must be particularly noted that Jiang Chen only knew the method to let the Ancestor from Underworld River attain enlightenment, but could not guarantee its success.

"What is the method?"

"But you may speak without concern—someone at my level does not fear a path filled with difficulties; what I fear is a future shrouded in uncertainty, where nothing can be seen."

The Ancestor from Underworld River urged Jiang Chen to disclose the truth, as he said, with his level of power, he was not afraid of difficulties but of the unknown.

With any great challenge that arose, there would be ways to overcome it. But against the unknown, he had no idea how to proceed.

Having reached his current state, he had encountered too many challenges and believed there was none that could defeat him, but the unknown and confusion could shake his confidence, giving him a sense of powerlessness.

"The Ancestor practices the Dao of Slaughter. To achieve the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, you must first perfect the Dao of Slaughter."

"And the simplest way to perfect the Dao of Slaughter is to kill, to create rivers of blood, to turn Heaven and Earth upside down, to cleanse every living being in the Chaos World without a trace, and thus the Ancestor’s Dao would naturally be perfected."

Jiang Chen first outlined the simplest path to enlightenment, to slaughter all beings between Heaven and Earth, to perfect his own Dao.

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor from Underworld River nodded repeatedly but showed no particular reaction, for he too knew of this path to enlightenment and understood that, although this method seemed simple, it was essentially impossible to succeed.

To kill all living beings between Heaven and Earth was an absurd thought; just voicing it would invite the rebuke of many Great Divine Transcendents. To actually act on it, one need not wait for a Saint to intervene, for it would provoke the rage of the Taoist Ancestors, leading to death under the Heavenly Curse.

The Ancestor from Underworld River knew without thinking that the method Jiang Chen mentioned couldn’t be this one; if it genuinely involved slaughtering all beings between Heaven and Earth, there would be no need to speak of it.

"Of course, this method is indeed straightforward, but it’s too harmful to harmony with Heaven and not something we should pursue, so this path is not viable."
