Chapter 1407: 945 Nuwa’s Essence Blood

"My master sent me here for two reasons," Jiang Chen spoke as Yang Chan and Cai Zhaoji finished their greetings. "First, to visit my senior brother, and second, to give him this item, hoping it could alleviate his injuries."

As he spoke, Yang Chan took out an exquisitely crafted jade box.

Jiang Chen reached out to take it, opened the jade box, and inside was a blood crystal emitting a seven-colored radiant light, surrounded by a flow of divine energy and a holy aura.

At the sight of it, Jiang Chen could not help but stand up, exclaiming in surprise, "This is, this is..."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen closed the jade box and handed it back to Yang Chan, telling her, "This item is too precious. What merit or ability does Jiang Chen have to make the Holy Mother pay such a hefty price?"

"This sacred object should be returned to Her Holiness."

This seven-colored blood crystal was none other than the Holy Mother’s Essence Blood of the Human Race—indeed, it was the essence blood of Empress Nuwa, the Saint’s blood, naturally divine and boundlessly mysterious.

Years ago at the base of Mount Buzhou, Empress Nuwa used the Soil of Rest as the body, the Three Lights Divine Water as the soul, and her own essence blood as the blood, mixing the three and, imitating the likeness of herself and her brother Fuxi, created the initial Human Race.

It can be said that Empress Nuwa’s essence blood is the source of life for the Human Race and its most revered sacred object. Upon hearing that Jiang Chen was injured, her old self directly gifted Jiang Chen a drop of her essence blood to help him recover.

Undoubtedly, Empress Nuwa held Jiang Chen in high regard—the treatment he received was unprecedented, perhaps even the Human King of the past did not receive such favor.At the time when Empress Nuwa created humans, she had not yet attained sainthood and was only at mid-Quasi-Saint status; though her essence blood was powerful, its effects were not excessively exaggerated and were not considered top-tier divine between Heaven and Earth.

But the essence blood before Jiang Chen now was different; it was freshly extracted from Empress Nuwa.

Now, Empress Nuwa was no longer who she was back then; since creating humans, she had achieved sainthood for countless eons and had progressed far on the sacred path.

Therefore, her essence blood now was far more potent, let alone that she was a cultivator of the Tao of creation, making her essence blood even more mystical, truly the source of creation.

At this moment, Empress Nuwa’s essence blood could indeed be called a top-tier divine entity between Heaven and Earth.

If at the time of creating humans, she had used this drop of essence blood, the Human Race’s innate qualities today could have risen by at least another level.

Jiang Chen believed this drop of essence blood was too precious, hence hesitated to take it, knowing that even for Saints, essence blood was not infinite; losing even a drop would bring about a period of weakness.

As a descendant of the Holy Mother, how could Jiang Chen bear to see Her Grace weakened because of him? That would be extremely undutiful.

"Senior brother, please accept it."

"There’s no rule for taking back what has been sent out by my master; if you insist on refusing, the next visit might be made by her in person."

"You wouldn’t want the master to have to travel this long distance, would you?"

Yang Chan did not take back the jade box Jiang Chen handed to her, claiming that if she returned with it, Empress Nuwa would come personally to deliver this essence blood.

"As it is, Jiang Chen shamelessly accepts it, and will thank Her Holiness later."

Left with no choice, Jiang Chen could only accept. Even with his thick face, he could not inconvenience Empress Nuwa to come in person.

"Anything else, Junior Sister?"

Having accepted the essence blood, Jiang Chen asked Yang Chan.

He was the Human King, very busy. He had already seen enough visitors today, and next, he had his own matters to attend to without time to casually chat with Yang Chan.

"I have no other matters, but the master said that as a member of the Human Race, I should not stand aside during these critical times for our race. Thus, she sent me down the mountain to assist my senior brother."

Yang Chan shook her head signaling she had no further business but also indicating her reason for coming was to assist Jiang Chen, to contribute her part to the Human Race.

Assist me?

Jiang Chen found it amusing at the thought; Yang Chan was just a Great Luo Golden Immortal, likely cannon fodder if sent to the battlefield. What assistance could she possibly offer him?

But then, Jiang Chen understood Empress Nuwa’s intentions and his face broke into a thrilled smile, warmly saying to Yang Chan, "That’s wonderful! Having you assist me will indeed be like adding wings to a tiger and will surely make my plans proceed more smoothly."

Jiang Chen was being entirely truthful—Yang Chan’s arrival would indeed help his plans go more smoothly.

Empress Nuwa, fully aware of Yang Chan’s modest abilities, nevertheless sent her to assist Jiang Chen; what was the significance? It was not to boost Jiang Chen’s battle strength but to declaratively show her stance.

Sending her own disciple showed Empress Nuwa’s clear support for Jiang Chen—her stance being even more influential than the Emperor’s words, nullifying any legal rationale for any Human Race forces opposed to Jiang Chen.

With Empress Nuwa standing beside Jiang Chen, who could dispute his legitimacy? Not even the Human Ancestor.

Yang Chan’s mere presence, without the need to do anything, served as a lucky charm stabilizing people’s hearts.

As long as she stood with Jiang Chen, all Human Race cultivators would know that Empress Nuwa was with him, naturally steadying their hearts.

"Senior brother flatters me!"

Yang Chan was somewhat embarrassed by Jiang Chen’s words, being well aware of her actual capabilities.
