Chapter 1157: 815 Duotian Shenfan

This matter is closely related to the remnants of the Demon God, and naturally, they would sense it in advance within the obscured connections.

Upon sensing a future detrimental to themselves, the remnants of the Demon God would naturally respond. The Fierce Beasts’ offensive growing stronger is just the beginning. If things continued to deteriorate, the remnants might truly go all out in a desperate fight.

To not act is to wait for death, while a desperate fight still holds a glimmer of life. The remnants of the Demon God aren’t the kind to sit still and wait for the end. Which option to choose, isn’t that obvious?

Unfortunately, that’s all Mother Earth and the Ancestral Witch of Xuan Ming could think of at the moment. They knew something was amiss with the remnants of the Demon God, but they did not know the reason. In any case, this matter would give them a headache again.

...

......

Unlike Mother Earth’s headaches, Jiang Chen was feeling quite happy at the moment.

After leaving the Reincarnation Hall, Jiang Chen couldn’t wait to take out the Duotian Shenfan and carefully examine it in his hands.

As soon as the Duotian Shenfan was in his grasp, the previously vanished power of Duotian reappeared and continued to merge with the aura within him, constantly altering his body.

Back in the Reincarnation Hall, Jiang Chen was not convenient to inspect it closely, but now he had no such concerns. As he walked, Jiang Chen focused intently on understanding the changes in his body.

In just a short while, Jiang Chen noticed some extremely subtle changes in his body under the influence of the Duotian Shenfan’s power. These changes were minor and undetectable without close observation, but their effect was apparent. After the changes, his body felt significantly lighter.

This sensation was akin to a body weary from prolonged exhaustion suddenly receiving ample rest and rejuvenating, feeling thoroughly invigorated and unobstructed.

"That’s right, I may have stepped out of Pangu’s Tao, but my foundation is still based on it. Even my physical body was transformed through comprehending Pangu’s physique. Although I’ve embarked on a new path, traces of the old one still linger."

"When I comprehended the Tao of Pangu, the inheritance I received was incomplete, which is why my physique contains many disharmonious aspects. While they don’t significantly impact me, they are still influential."

"Now, with the aid of the Duotian Shenfan, these inconsistencies have been readjusted, making my body more perfect, and giving me a feeling of unobstructed flow."

Moving his body around, Jiang Chen seemed very pleased. Cultivating requires perfection and cannot have any imperfections because the essence of cultivation is to transform oneself into a more perfect being.

Therefore, each step of cultivation must be impeccable without any flaws.

Early imperfections might not be impactful, but as one’s realm advances, these minor imperfections can magnify, affecting one’s transformation.

Why does cultivation require increasingly more time towards the end? Not only is it challenging to comprehend the Tao, but cultivators also need to spend a great deal of time polishing their cultivation to repair early imperfections.

Limited by their own perception, many flaws and imperfections are invisible at their current realm. Only after breaking through to a higher realm can they look back and discover previously unnoticed flaws, then spend a great deal of time making amends.

Each realm requires this cyclic process, naturally extending the time needed.

Jiang Chen never had to consider these things before, but now it was different. He was about to break through to Quasi-Saint. If he didn’t check for and address his flaws, they would undoubtedly affect his ascension to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

His advancement was too rapid, his period of practice too short, lacking the time needed for refinement, which was not a good thing.

"The Duotian Shenfan, an Innate Treasure forged by the combined strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, records the inheritance of Pangu’s physique in far greater detail and comprehensiveness than I have acquired. With it as a reference, I can surely transform my body to even greater perfection."

"It’s just a pity that the Duotian Shenfan is severely damaged, and its power is not a fraction of its peak."

Looking at the tattered Duotian Shenfan in his hand, Jiang Chen felt somewhat regretful. If it were the Duotian Shenfan at its peak, even if he did nothing but hold it for tens of thousands of years, the power it naturally radiated would have been sufficient to make his physical body fully perfect, providing a foundation for enlightenment.

But now, the severely damaged Duotian Shenfan clearly did not possess that ability.

The appearance of the Duotian Shenfan was not just similar to the Pangu Banner, but rather identical. Its material seemed to be jade but wasn’t jade, seemed to be gold but wasn’t gold, and was completely shrouded in the color of Chaos.

Upon the flag’s body, the fierce aura of Pangu surged mightily, as if ready to annihilate Chaos and pioneer Heaven and Earth anew. The flag’s surface displayed the supreme image of Pangu Great God wielding the Open Sky Divine Axe, with symbols of the Great Dao enveloping the exterior and Open Sky talismans faintly present within.

Merely holding it, Jiang Chen could feel the power contained within it, enough to pioneer sky and earth. It seemed as though with just a light swing, he could split the whole Heaven and Earth apart.

At its peak, the Duotian Shenfan indeed had that capability, but the current one did not—it could, at most, split the Netherworld.

At first glance, the banner’s body was not severely damaged, but its surface was almost completely gone, missing pieces here and there like a beggar’s clothing, which looked even better in comparison.

Having only a tenth remaining did not mean that the Duotian Shenfan’s power was also reduced to a tenth. In reality, its power didn’t even reach one ten-thousandth of its former glory.

At its peak, the Duotian Shenfan possessed the power to pioneer sky and earth, capable of overwhelming the Power of the Heavenly Dao, and was considered one of the top-tier Innate Treasures.
