Chapter 1485: 990 Resulted in Consequences_2

It’s no exaggeration to say that Shouyang Mountain could even be called the second Ancestral Land of the Human Race.

When the Demon Clan slaughtered the Human Race, many of the Human Race were taken to Shouyang Mountain by the great Master of the Mystic Sect, seeking refuge under the name of the Saint of Taiqing, thus avoiding pursuit from the Demon Clan.

This made Shouyang Mountain the place with the highest population of the Human Race. Later, during the decisive battle between sorcerers and demons, the Demon Clan declined and the Human Race rose, with over half of the population coming from Shouyang Mountain.

It was only because the Saint of Taiqing monopolized the Konpeng Seal and clashed with the Human Race, otherwise Shouyang Mountain might truly have become the second Ancestral Land of the Human Race.

Under such circumstances at that time, most of the Human Race gathered at Shouyang Mountain, and naturally, the Konpeng Seal flew towards Shouyang Mountain.

But one thing must be made clear, the target of the Konpeng Seal was the Human Race, even if it flew to Shouyang Mountain, it would choose the Human Race if it were to select a master. But somehow, the Konpeng Seal ended up as a possession of the Saint of Taiqing.

Because of this, the Human Race, who originally held immense respect for the Saint of Taiqing, began to quickly sour in their relationship with him.

"Heavenly Venerable, you were personally involved in the events of those years, you must know better than anyone who was right and who was wrong. If you were truly in the right, then why, holding the Konpeng Seal, can’t you mobilize the fate of the Human Race?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue about the past rights and wrongs with the Heavenly Venerable; he only knew that the Saint of Taiqing was not in the right regarding the Konpeng Seal affair, as evident from his inability to mobilize the fate of the Human Race.

If he were truly right, then the fate of Human Race would naturally be on his side. After all, fate has no intelligence; it acts entirely on instinct, supporting whoever is right.

Now, the fate of Human Race stands by the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, not helping the Saint of Taiqing, which clearly suggests a lot.

Of course, being unable to mobilize fate means that the Saint of Taiqing cannot transform the fate he controls into combat power, but he can still use it to practice.

"Star Lord, let’s not speak of this matter any longer; what happened in the past about who was wrong or right does not matter. What’s important is that I, in my humble role, could under no circumstances give away the Konpeng Seal."

"I’ve already said, the Konpeng Seal is the cornerstone treasure of the Human Sect, related to the very foundation of the Human Sect. Even if it leads to a great battle with the Human Race, I would not hand over this treasure."

"Star Lord, please return."

No more need to say half a sentence more; having spoken thus far, there was no need to continue the conversation, and the Heavenly Venerable’s face turned cold as he straightforwardly bid farewell.

"So it seems, Heavenly Venerable, that you are determined to keep our Human Race’s treasure for yourself? Jiang Chen came here with sincerity, and you haven’t really considered it well, don’t force me to turn hostile."

Jiang Chen’s tone also cooled down; having come here today, if there isn’t a resolution, he isn’t planning to return.

The Konpeng Seal in the hands of the Saint of Taiqing has a tremendous impact on the Human Race. Why do you think the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, when reigning over the Human Race, each created Imperial Holy Artifacts?

It’s precisely to guard against the Saint of Taiqing, fearing he would exploit the Konpeng Seal to snatch the fate of the Human Race, hence they created Imperial Holy Artifacts to counter it.

"Even if I am absolutely determined not to give you the Konpeng Seal, what can you do? Do you dare to strike at me?"

Speaking thus, the deep and weary eyes of the Heavenly Venerable suddenly sharpened, and with a profound stare at Jiang Chen, he solemnly said:

"If the Star Lord wishes to resort to force, then I do not mind assessing the Star Lord’s abilities, to see just how capable this ancestor of the Divine Dao and strongest Human King, who has repeatedly stirred up major events in the Chaos World, truly is."

It’s apparent, if Jiang Chen dares to make a move, the Heavenly Venerable will not show courtesy. Others may fear Jiang Chen, but he does not.

As the foremost among all Saints, the representative head of the Mystic Sect, currently the preeminent figure of the Chaos World, no matter which identity, all are sufficient for him to face Jiang Chen without fear.

Even more so, if the Saint of Taiqing really decides to confront Jiang Chen, then let him employ all his tactics, yet he still will not escape defeat.

In this era where the Taoist Ancestors do not appear, the Saint of Taiqing is undoubtedly the strongest in the Prehistoric World, even Mother Earth would not be his match. To put it more boldly, even if the other Saints joined forces, they might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

This is not an exaggeration, but a very possible occurrence. And all of this stems from the identity of the Saint of Taiqing as the leader of the Mystic Sect.

The Mystic Sect, the strongest force in the Chaos World, unmatched in its fate, even more potent than that of the Human Race. Since the Saint of Taiqing is the leader of the Mystic Sect, he can mobilize its fate.

With just the fate of the Human Race, a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial can be easily created. The fate of the Mystic Sect is far superior to that of the Human Race, and if the Saint of Taiqing were to use the Mystic Sect’s fate, he could possibly stand Above the Chaos, in a supreme state of creation.

This is the confidence of the Saint of Taiqing, the confidence to dominate the Prehistoric World, as long as Hongjun Daizu does not appear, even if the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou were to be resurrected, he would not fear, and could still suppress him.

"Take action?"

"How could that be possible!"

"I have already said, I have come here with sincerity, how could I possibly fight against the Heavenly Venerable?"

Jiang Chen suddenly calmed down, his anger vanished in an instant, and he responded with a tone of surprise while adopting a composed gesture.

Before coming here, he had repeatedly told himself that he must not engage with the Saint of Taiqing. Not to mention that he was not a match for the Saint of Taiqing at his peak, let alone now when he is in a weakened state.

If they really start a fight, he would definitely be defeated. Not only would he not get the Kongtong Seal back, but he would also be lectured by the Saint of Taiqing, losing both dignity and reputation, a complete embarrassment.

"Since you do not intend to fight, then how would the Star Lord possibly turn against me?"

The Heavenly Venerable of Morality and Virtue curiously asked. Throughout his life, it was always others who feared him turning against them, not the other way around. That is, except for the Upper Qing Saints. When the brothers turned against each other back then, it really hurt him deeply.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen, pretending to be saddened, said, "The Saint of Taiqing has, after all, been kind to the Human Race, isn’t it just the Kongtong Seal? Although this treasure is precious, how can it compare to the Saint’s kindness to our Human Race?"

"Since the Saint of Taiqing likes the Kongtong Seal, our Human Race will give this treasure to the Saint, as a repayment for the kindness he has shown to our Human Race over the years."

"But, from this point on, our Human Race will no longer owe anything to the Saint, and from then on, to each their own path under the heavens."

After saying this, without giving the Saint of Taiqing time to react, Jiang Chen turned and left immediately.

Damn, it’s just the Kongtong Seal, if you won’t return it, then I don’t want it.

As the saying goes, new things come only after letting go of the old; Jiang Chen doesn’t believe that, in the vast Chaos World, there can’t be a treasure better than the Kongtong Seal.

Moreover, if using only the Kongtong Seal could sever the karma between the Human Race and the Saint of Taiqing, then, no matter how you calculate, the Human Race would be at a gain.

Ever since the birth of the Human Race, it has been entangled with the Saint of Taiqing. As the years passed, the karma between the two sides did not clear up but instead deepened, showing signs of becoming insurmountably entangled.

Through the entanglement with the Human Race, the Saint of Taiqing has repeatedly meddled in the affairs of the Human Race, constantly deriving benefits from them. The deeper the entanglement, the greater the benefits he reaped, ultimately even being able to directly intervene in the selection of the Human King.

This was almost touching the bottom line of the Human Race, and with the situation not yet deteriorating to the worst degree, Jiang Chen decided to act decisively and sever the karma between the Human Race and the Saint of Taiqing using this chance.

The Human Race was too deeply entangled with the Saint of Taiqing, the karma almost at a state where it couldn’t be clarified; under such circumstances, ordinary treasures simply couldn’t resolve the karma between the two sides.

Only the Kongtong Seal, a treasure of utmost importance to the Human Race, could completely sever the karma between the two.

While the Kongtong Seal is indeed very important to the Human Race, ending the karma with the Saint of Taiqing is even more crucial for the Human Race right now.
