Chapter 1402: 942 Blood Pill_2

Jiang Chen still didn’t answer the Tianyao Goddess’s question; instead, he waved his hand to dismiss her, directly lifting a wave of innate divine light that enveloped her and sent her outside the South Heavenly Gate.

The pill that glimmered with a rainbow aura was none other than the Peerless God Pill, transformed from the heated blood of Jiang Chen’s own heart. There were a total of nine pills, each possessing the power to let mortals defy their innate nature and transform into Innate Divine Demons, achieving the status of Innate Dao Sovereigns.

This was a truly heaven-defying divine pill, its effects far beyond imagination, countless times more precious than even the Dao Fruits of Taoist Masters.

"Your Majesty, was that lady a princess from heaven?"

After the Tianyao Goddess left, Cai Zhaoji asked Jiang Chen, her face filled with curiosity. The princess of the Heavenly Emperor—besides Jiang Chen, she was the most eminent personage Cai Zhaoji had ever met.

"That’s correct, she is the Bright Pearl treasured by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Her strength isn’t great, but she has an extremely solid backing; even the disciples of Saints do not have a status as high as hers," Jiang Chen said. He wasn’t lying on this matter—the Tianyao Goddess was not someone to be trifled with at the moment. Offending her could be more serious than offending the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother at the same time.

With the Seven Fairies becoming one, their status naturally increased manifold. Saying she was more honored than a disciple of a Saint was not an exaggeration at all. After all, Saints may have many disciples, but the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have only one daughter.

"Mm, someone else is coming."

"What’s happening? They usually avoid me, so why are they now coming to me one after another?"

Jiang Chen was about to speak, asking Cai Zhaoji to continue playing the zither, but before he could say anything, he sensed another familiar aura rapidly approaching.

...

...

"How stingy, is it necessary to be so secretive about the origin of just one pill? He actually sent me back directly."

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the Tianyao Goddess stamped her foot in vexation. Then, she quickly adjusted her mood, tidied up her makeup a bit, and walked into the South Heavenly Gate with an expressionless face, heading straight for the Yao Pool.

Annoyed as she was, there were still important matters to attend to. No matter what, the Tianyao Goddess had to pass on the proposed collaboration from Jiang Chen to her parents.

"Jiang Chen asked you to show us this pill, and said that once we see it, we’ll understand his intentions?" The Jade Emperor toyed with the Blood Pill concocted from Jiang Chen’s heart’s blood while questioning his daughter.

"Yes, that’s what Jiang Chen said," the Tianyao Goddess replied truthfully. Then she asked her parents, "Father Emperor, Mother Queen, what exactly is the origin of this pill, and what does Jiang Chen mean? Do you understand?"

The Jade Emperor didn’t reply; he just continued to gaze at the Blood Pill in his hands, while the Queen Mother said,

"This pill is extraordinary; it contains traces of a Chaos Demigod’s essence, as well as some of Pangu Great God’s presence. It’s a pill that has transcended the Heavenly Dao. Even within Chaos, it would be considered a rare treasure."

"Recently, news had spread from the Upper Qing Saint that Jiang Chen’s injury was caused by a Chaos Demigod. I was skeptical, but now that I’ve seen this Dao Pill, I believe it."

"Because inside this pill, there is a high probability that it is mixed with the essence blood of a Chaos Demigod."

The Queen Mother’s eyes shimmered as she quickly unraveled the nature of the Blood Pill. Though her conclusion was quite far off, looking from another perspective, she came rather close to the truth.

The reason for the essence of a Chaos Demigod in the pill was because Jiang Chen was already halfway to becoming a Chaos Demigod himself, his heart’s blood essentially similar to the essence blood of a Chaos Demigod, which caused the Queen Mother’s misperception.

As for the essence of Pangu Great God, it was simpler; the Dao of Pangu that Jiang Chen had cultivated previously was not discarded but fully integrated into the foundation of his being. Thus, he naturally carried the pure essence of Pangu.

"This pill is a rare find indeed; not even the Saint of Taiqing could concoct a pill with such effects. Even a mortal, upon taking this pill, would undergo a transformation against heaven’s will, directly becoming an Innate Divine Demon and achieving the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign."

The Jade Emperor also spoke from the side. His cultivation was stronger than that of the Queen Mother, so he saw more and had learned of the effect of this pill, which could create an Innate Divine Demon.

"Can’t be, right? Such a pill with a heaven-defying effect is likely to attract heavenly punishment, right?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was startled, thinking of the potential danger of the pill. Typically, anything that defied heaven would inevitably invite heavenly punishment; survive, and one lives, fail, and one dies.

"No, this is precisely the most formidable aspect of the pill; inside it resides an Original Source mark from Jiang Chen. Even if heavenly punishment descends, this mark from Jiang Chen would protect the one who consumes the pill through the ordeal."

"I suspect that when Jiang Chen concocted this Blood Pill, he fused it with his lifeblood, which is why the pill contains his life mark."

The Jade Emperor speculated. Such a precious thing as a life mark could only be held by something as fundamental as lifeblood.

"So, what exactly is Jiang Chen trying to say by giving you this pill? Have you understood his intentions?"

Impatient with her parents’ half-finished discussion, the Tianyao Goddess couldn’t help but inquire.

"We understand. This kid Jiang Chen is truly powerful – worthy of being the Human King. He’s quite adept at discerning people’s hearts, directly grasping at my weaknesses."

"By gifting you this pill, he wants to tell us, whatever our thoughts may be, to go ahead and try without hesitation. There’s no need to worry about you, for as long as he’s around, no one in this world can harm you."

"See, this single pill can allow you to attain the Dao Venerable Realm, thereby granting you the power to be immortal and indestructible, undoubtedly increasing your safety by many folds."

"If Dao Venerable isn’t enough, then he still has ways to help you become Quasi-Saint or even a Great Divine Transcendent."

The Jade Emperor said with a smile; he had understood Jiang Chen’s intent. Communication between strong beings is just like this – no need for explicit words, a simple gesture suffices for the other to grasp the implied meaning.

The Jade Emperor is a supreme Saint and could step into the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Realm at any time, but he has yet to make the breakthrough. Why, do you ask? Because his Dao is not yet complete.

Through cycles of reincarnation, polishing his Dao heart amid the mundane world, enduring tribulation numbers amounting to quadrillions, to become a True Spirit undying through all calamities, breaking away from the jade body to transform into a Chaos Divine Body – that is how to attain the ultimate Primordial Realm; such is the Dao of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Back then, Emperor Haotian started cultivating in this way by entering the cycle of reincarnation through the hands of Xing Tian.

Unfortunately, due to the fall of the Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Emperor, the Saints had no choice but to forcibly recall Haotian to continue as the Heavenly Emperor, thus interrupting his path to achieving the Dao.

It wasn’t an interruption but a pause in his journey. Haotian could at any moment choose to be reborn and continue his path.

However, the Jade Emperor couldn’t bear to leave his daughter behind, which is why he had yet to reincarnate. Despite Tianyao presently seeming well, she is inherently a child of the Demonic Way.

Not yet born, she absorbed the Original Source of a Demonic Way Great Divine Transcendent. Combined with her parents’ Immortal Dao Original Source, Tianyao could indeed be considered naturally possessing a Divine Body with a Demon heart. Once she steps onto the Demonic Way, her cultivation would surge rapidly, and in the shortest time, she would become a tremendous force within the Demonic Way.

The Jade Emperor didn’t wish to reincarnate primarily because he wanted to protect his daughter, fearful that she may be schemed against by beings from the Demonic Way and fall into their path.

According to the normal course of history, the Jade Emperor couldn’t help but continue the cycle of reincarnation and manifested to guard the Heavenly Court. Not long afterward, the Seven Fairies were calculated against and caught in a love tribulation they couldn’t extricate themselves from.

Such a tribulation of love, if one could see through it, would undoubtedly lead to a swift increase in cultivation. But if one failed to see through it and became mired within, cultivation could also soar, but at the price of eternal damnation to the Demonic Way.

...

Between achieving Dao and his daughter, the Jade Emperor currently chose his daughter, hence his delay in entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Achieving the Dao is far less critical to him than the safety of his daughter, or at least, that’s what the Jade Emperor thought. He stayed in the Heavenly Court, guarding his daughter, to prevent her from being calculated against by beings from the Demonic Way.
