Chapter 1500: 999 Great Divine Transcendents Appear_2

One, two, three...

Nine Great Divine Transcendents appeared beside Jiang Chen, forming a circle around him, enclosing him in the center.

"Star Lord, didn’t your master tell you that this is not a place you should come to?"

A Great Divine Transcendent clad in a silver-white Taoist robe, looking quite young, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, addressed Jiang Chen with a cold tone.

He is known as Yuan Xu Taoist Master, an Innate Divine Demon bred from the path of Innate Nothingness, one of the three thousand visitors of the dust of Zixiao Palace, with the cultivation of a Great Divine Transcendent, most adept in the way of void, once living and escaping from the hands of Di Jiang, showing how formidable he is.

"What a joke!"

"I am the supreme of Heaven and Earth, the greatest in the Prehistoric World, where can I not go?"

As soon as Yuan Xu spoke up, Jiang Chen became displeased. He is Emperor Ziwei. Even the Zixiao Palace of the Taoist Ancestors, he could visit whenever he wishes, let alone the void world?

Moreover, judging by Yuan Xu’s tone, he assumes himself the owner of the void world; this made Jiang Chen even more annoyed. What is he, daring to claim as the master of the void world, acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao?

"I think you are the audacious one, who granted you the power to establish sects and build forces in the void world? Have you reported to Heaven Court?"

Jiang Chen did not indulge the other party, and directly retorted back.

Yuan Xu has no right to claim to be the master of the void world, but Jiang Chen does. He is the supreme of Heaven and Earth, the nominal owner of the Prehistoric World. To say the void world is his has no problems at all; no one could find fault with that.

"You..."

Yuan Xu’s face instantly darkened, had he not been unsure of his ability to deal with Jiang Chen, he would have taken action already to teach Jiang Chen the vastness of heaven and earth.

"Star Lord, please calm your anger, Yuan Xu was reckless and has offended the Star Lord, allow me to apologize on his behalf."

"However, the ownership of the ruling rights over the void world does belong to us, this is indeed true, as it was the agreement made with the Saints in the past."

"As a direct disciple of Shangqing Taoist brother, the Star Lord is a part of the lineage of the Saints, and should rightly adhere to the agreement made in the past."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, a Great Divine Transcendent with a head full of white hair and a cheerful smile on his face, looking like a good-natured elderly, spoke amiably to ease the situation.

"Respectful greetings to Old Ancestor Nothingness!"

As this person spoke, Jiang Chen’s attitude immediately changed, softening significantly, and even returned the greeting to him.

The Old Ancestor Nothingness is an old prominent Great Divine Transcendent, standing out among the three thousand visitors of the dust, born an Innate Saint, having reached the cultivation of a Sub-Saint a long time ago. By now, even if he hasn’t become a Saint, he’s not far from it.

Of course, most importantly, the Old Ancestor Nothingness is neutral, never interfering in matters of the real world, diving heart-and-soul into the void world to explore its profundities.

Such a person, even if one cannot befriend, must not be offended. The Human Race at this time can ill afford to provoke another powerful enemy.

As for Yuan Xu earlier, from the tone he used when he spoke, it wasn’t hard to guess that this person probably had a poor relationship with the Human Race, one of the enemies of the Human Race, otherwise, he would not have rebuked Jiang Chen directly.

"Senior, you have misunderstood, I have no intention of meddling with the void world. My purpose here is purely to retrieve a treasure of my Human Race. Once the treasure is in hand, I will leave immediately!"

Jiang Chen explained.

Surrounding him were nine Great Divine Transcendents, six of whom were ordinary Great Divine Transcendents, the other three were all Sub-Saints.

In addition, there were some Great Divine Transcendents lurking in secret, silently watching Jiang Chen.

With such a force, even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial could be beaten to death, and Jiang Chen was not so unwise as to offend them all at once.

"A treasure? What treasure?"

Yuan Xu frowned and pressed Jiang Chen for an answer.

"My fellow Daoist, don’t you think you’re overconcerned? What treasure it is, what does it have to do with you?"

"Or are you saying that once a treasure enters the Void World, it becomes unrelated to its original owner and becomes your possession?"

For neutral powerhouses, Jiang Chen showed great courtesy, but for those obviously hostile, he did not indulge them, showing strong aggressiveness.

"You..."

Yuan Xu was furious at being scorned by Jiang Chen, but just as he began to speak, the seemingly amiable Elder Nothingness forcibly interrupted: "Enough, Yuan Xu, refrain from speaking further."

After speaking, Elder Nothingness turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Star Lord really has a sense of humor. How could we possibly seize somebody else’s treasure?"

Jiang Chen’s words were too aggressive, and he felt compelled to explain. Otherwise, if such words were spread, it would be enough to cause serious trouble for them.

What does it mean to claim treasures in the Void World as their own? Isn’t that nonsense? Many powerhouses hide their treasures in the Void World; if they dared make such a claim, they’d immediately incur public wrath and be expelled from the Void World at the very least.

"Since the Star Lord is here to seek treasure, we won’t disturb you further. We apologize for being overly anxious this time."

Another Great Divine Transcendent spoke with an apologetic tone to Jiang Chen.

Indeed, they had been somewhat too nervous, thinking Jiang Chen came to the Void World with the intent of attacking it, thus they showed up hastily. Otherwise, why would there be such a massive show of force upon seeing Jiang Chen enter the Void World?

The lineage of the Saints also ventures into the Void World to seek treasures and travel; they have never been this anxious. It’s true that Jiang Chen’s identity is special, being the focal point of the current Prehistoric World, so his sudden arrival in the Void World is bound to raise suspicions.

Now that they have clarified Jiang Chen’s intention, realizing it was all a false alarm, they naturally won’t linger and hinder Jiang Chen’s important business.

To insist on quarreling despite knowing it’s a misunderstanding is tantamount to making an enemy.

"Since it’s a misunderstanding, then may I take my leave?"

Although the issue ended somewhat anticlimactically, Jiang Chen had no intention of dwelling on it and promptly stepped away to continue deeper into the Void World.

The Great Divine Transcendents rooted in the Void World usually stay out of worldly matters, meaning that most of them bear no grudge against the Human Race. Unless under extraordinary circumstances, they would not actively attack the Human Race.

The idea that the majority in the Mystic Sect are dissatisfied with the Human Race is not true; if even one-third, or a quarter, of the Mystic Sect’s powerhouses were displeased with the Human Race, then the Human Race wouldn’t have developed to its current state.

The truth is, within the Mystic Sect, it’s only a minority who are unhappy with the Human Race; the majority are indifferent. But even this small proportion of powerhouses has still brought significant pressure on the Human Race.

Since the Great Divine Transcendents of the Void World are mostly neutral, Jiang Chen is especially unwilling to offend them.

...

"He claims he’s here to seek treasure, but what if it’s just a pretext to cause trouble?"

After Jiang Chen left, Yuan Xu said with some dissatisfaction.

"Silence!"

"Yuan Xu, don’t think that I’m unaware of what you’re scheming."

"If you’re dissatisfied with the Star Lord, you could have confronted him directly; no one would stop you, but if you’re thinking of dragging us into it, I won’t tolerate that!"

Before Yuan Xu’s voice had faded, a Great Divine Transcendent stepped forward and harshly rebuked him.

"Indeed, what do the squabbles of the real world have to do with us? As long as the Human Race doesn’t interfere with the Void World, they are not our enemies. If encountered, we needn’t be courteous, but neither should we provoke conflict."

"Furthermore, Yuan Xu, I hope you remember your position. As per the agreement from years past, once you enter the Void World, whatever happens in the real world should no longer concern us."

"If you still cling to the affairs of the real world and try to drag us into that mire, don’t blame us for disregarding past affections and banishing you from the Void World."

Several other Great Divine Transcendents spoke in turn, each tone more severe than the last, aiming their criticism unanimously at Yuan Xu.

This operation was initiated against Jiang Chen, but in the end, Yuan Xu unexpectedly became the target, turning the event into a denouncement of him.
