Chapter 1417: 950 Yin and Yang Grinding Disc_2

Just as Di Jun purified his own Taiyang (Sun) Path and elevated it to reveal the mysterious aspects of the Creation of the Infinite Dao from the Great Sun, he thereby managed to surpass the Yin and Yang Path in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the Saint of Taiqing always held a deep apprehension toward Di Jun. The Saint had cultivated the Taiji Yin and Yang Path, but he had not elevated his own Dao to surpass its original level.

"I must get my hands on the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel; otherwise, if it falls into the hands of the Saint of Taiqing, there will be trouble," Jiang Chen pondered.

Even if he obtained the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel, for Jiang Chen, it would be just gilding the lily, for he did not primarily cultivate the Way of Yin and Yang. However, for the Saint of Taiqing, it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, a gift in dire need.

The Great Dao contained within this magic treasure was the elevated Path of Yin and Yang, exactly what the Saint of Taiqing urgently needed.

If he could fathom its true meaning and elevate his own cultivation of the Yin and Yang Path, then the Saint of Taiqing could surpass the realm of the Primordial Chaos and cultivate the Infinite Creation Realm. Hence, the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel was extremely important to the Saint of Taiqing; it could be called a treasure that would affirm his Dao.

If Jiang Chen had been on good terms with the Saint of Taiqing, then, of course, he would not mind the treasure falling into his hands, but wasn’t that the problem? Their relationship was not good.

If the Saint of Taiqing made a breakthrough, then Jiang Chen would really have a headache in the days ahead. He would never do anything to aid his enemy. Therefore, Jiang Chen would rather see the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel disappear than fall into the hands of his enemy.

Swish~

Following the guidance from the Taoist Field, Jiang Chen hurried toward the area where the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel was located.

Speaking of which, Jiang Chen felt he had quite a fate with the Demonic Power of Destruction.

Previously, in the depths of the Ruined Land, he had obtained an arm of the Demonic Power of Destruction. And now, in the vast Chaos, he had located the whereabouts of the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel.

The Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel was transformed from a fragment of the Chaotic Spiritual Treasure, the Destruction Grinding Wheel, which was the accompanying treasure of the Demon God of Destruction, a powerful object second only to the Chaos Treasure.

As for the Chaos Demigod itself, that was even more terrifying, being one of the strongest Chaos Demigods capable of confronting Pangu Great God for a time.

"The Demon God of Destruction might not have fallen!"

Jiang Chen was now highly dubious. The Demon God of Destruction might not have been vanquished. The end of destruction is creation. It was conceivable that the Demon God of Destruction was certainly a master of the Dao of Creation.

And those strong in the Path of Creation were famously difficult to kill.

If the Demon God of Destruction had not fallen, then that was a serious problem. To put it simply, Jiang Chen had entwined so much karma with him that if one day he were to suddenly revive, he would likely find Jiang Chen at the very first opportunity.

"Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. When I gained the arm of the Demon God of Destruction in the Ruined Land, it might not have been an opportunity but rather a death knell for me."

Jiang Chen’s heart suddenly grew heavy. If the Chaos Demigod had not fallen, then it was certain to come after him. Because the quickest way for the Chaos Demigod to recover its cultivation was to retrieve its former body.

Now that Jiang Chen had one of the Demon God of Destruction’s arms, it would be shocking if the Demon God of Destruction could let him off.

"We’ve already become enemies, so capturing the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel doesn’t leave me with any reason to hesitate."

Having many debts frees from care. Jiang Chen suddenly realized he no longer had anything to worry about.

Taking the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel would entangle him in karma with the Demon God of Destruction, so what? It’s not as if by not taking the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel, the Demon God of Destruction would spare him.

If the karma could not be resolved, why fear making things absolute? Better to make things absolute and do everything possible to weaken the enemy’s power and strive to enhance one’s own strength to face the great calamities of the future.

While contemplating this, Jiang Chen had already arrived in the region of the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel. What entered his view was an ocean composed of Yin and Yang Qi, vast and boundless, emanating an aura of destruction.

As a treasure of the Demon God of Destruction, its abilities were naturally related to destruction. Even the Yin and Yang Qi, known as the mother essence of all things, now lacked the aspect of generating life, instead eroding everything.

Jiang Chen looked up toward the depths of the sea of Yin and Yang. There he saw a huge disc, half black and half white, silently existing there, sending out indescribable fluctuations. All around it, the Yin and Yang Qi spread out from its being.

"This treasure... is a bit dangerous."

Jiang Chen did not immediately attempt to collect the Yin and Yang Grinding Wheel as he had done with the heavenly fetal membranes, because this magic treasure was stronger, and with his current state, he might not be able to secure it.

Also, the disturbance caused by their confrontation might very well attract the attention of other Saints. If that were to draw the Saint of Taiqing, then there would be trouble.

Jiang Chen didn’t think that he would be the one that the Saint of Taiqing acted against. Should a fight actually break out, the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc, this magic treasure, would definitely fall into the Saint of Taiqing’s hands.

"The reason the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc remains motionless is that it is accumulating power. Over the endless eons, it has amassed an unknown amount of power. Thus, it remains still, but once it moves, it will surely shake heaven and earth. Each strike has the potential to unleash the might of Primordial Chaos."

Jiang Chen halted, not daring to approach.

In its current state, the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc could be viewed as a sleeper Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, lying in wait. If awoken, Jiang Chen would have to face the full-force attack of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

In his current state, Jiang Chen wasn’t keen on engaging in combat. If he could achieve his goal through cunning maneuvers, then it was better to be clever.

"Eureka!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Chen simulated the aura of the Demonic Power of Destruction and tentatively made contact with the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc.

In an instant, the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc vibrated as if awakening from a deep slumber. Its entire being glowed with divine radiance, emitting an endless and majestic divinity.

Boom, boom, boom!

Infinite Yin and Yang Qi surged from the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc without restraint, spreading in all directions, annihilating all the Chaos Qi within billions of miles around it, turning everything into nothingness.

Yet, Jiang Chen who stood near the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc was unaffected by this force, as if the power intentionally avoided him.

"This could work!"

The Yin and Yang Grinding Disc, having transformed from the Destruction Grinding Wheel, led Jiang Chen to consider that there must be a special connection between it and the Demon God of Destruction. Therefore, he simulated the aura of the Demon God of Destruction to test the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc.

Unexpectedly, this attempt was a success.

Releasing his spirit, Jiang Chen made contact with the Demonic Power of Destruction far below Mount Buzhou, fully mobilizing its power and allowing it to adhere to his arm.

Then, Jiang Chen reached toward the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc.

Boom, boom, boom!

The trembling of the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc grew even more intense, but not out of rage, rather out of excitement, a thrill akin to meeting a kin.

It wasn’t that the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc mistook Jiang Chen for the Demon God of Destruction; instead, it saw Jiang Chen as the flesh made divine by the Innate lineage of the Demon God of Destruction.

From this perspective, they were kin, blood-related kin. Naturally, the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc was stirred.

The anticipated resistance did not occur, and Jiang Chen effortlessly seized the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc.

Swoosh—

A divine light flashed, and the body of the Yin and Yang Grinding Disc began to shrink, quickly transforming into a foot-long size, easily held within Jiang Chen’s palm.

"This is too easy to deceive!"

The process went smoothly, surprisingly so, prompting Jiang Chen to become wary, suspecting that there might be deceit involved or possibly a scheme of the Demon God of Destruction.

In the midst of Jiang Chen’s hesitation, on the other side of the Chaos, an infinitely distant place glittered with bright immortal light. Endless purple aura circulated, illuminating a sacred Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm was not large, yet it was planted with all kinds of Innate magical herbs and Spirit Roots, treasures extinct in the Three Realms but as common as cabbages by the roadside here.

This place didn’t seem like an Immortal Realm, but more like a massive pharmacy situated in the middle of the Chaos. At the center of this realm stood a tall Immortal Palace, with Dao Rhyme flowing around it, ceaselessly depicting the Innate Eight Scenic Wonders.

Indeed, this was the Eight Scenic Palace, the Taoist Field of the Saint of Taiqing.

Before leaving the Prehistoric World, the Sanqing merged their Sanqing Heavens into the Heavenly Realm, transforming the thirty-three heavens into thirty-six. Thus, each of the Taoist Fields of the Sanqing in the Chaos was a divine palace in its own right.
