Chapter 1815: 1,157 Flame Emperor’s injury

"The secret techniques of the Innate Daoist Embryo and the Divine Fetus of Creation can be used cyclically. After living through seven lifetimes, an ancient martial artist’s lifespan will approach immortality."

"And those who live through eight lifetimes will inevitably become an Innate Dao Sovereign."

After researching these two secret techniques, Jiang Chen patched them to allow for cyclic cultivation.

However, there is certainly a cost to doing this. Living through the second and third lifetimes is relatively simple, but reaching the fourth and fifth lifetimes is difficult. The more times the Innate Daoist Embryo and Divine Fetus of Creation are condensed, the harder they become to condense.

"This world is never lacking in geniuses. Especially in ancient martial arts, under the pressure of death, the greatest potential can be unleashed, resulting in an endless emergence of prodigies."

"In the past, they couldn’t figure out a way to extend their lifespan, not because they weren’t smart enough, but because their lifespans were too short."

"Now, with the Innate Daoist Embryo and the Divine Fetus of Creation, their lifespan can be extended by at least sixty thousand years. Adding the three lifetimes together, that’s seventy thousand years."

"Seventy thousand years is not short. With the wisdom of these ancient martial artists, it should be enough for them to research other methods to prolong lifespan."

Jiang Chen had faith in the wisdom of future generations and had great confidence in the ancient martial artists. With their talent, having their lifespan increased sevenfold, they are bound to create miracles.

If he can research two methods to extend lifespan, there’s no reason the collective wisdom of many ancient martial artists is inferior to his!

...

"Go see the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestor of Humanity, and show them these two secret techniques. The Heavenly Emperor is a master of the Yi Dao, and the Ancestor of Humanity is the founder of ancient martial arts."

"Even I am researching methods to extend the lifespans of ancient martial artists; they must be doing the same. Perhaps they have already had some breakthroughs. Even if not, seeing these two secret techniques might spark their inspiration."

Jiang Chen originally wanted to pass down these two secret techniques, but upon thinking it over, he felt something was amiss. From what he observed, there was absolutely nothing wrong with these two secret techniques, but that doesn’t mean they are without flaws.

Therefore, he planned to show them to the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestor of Humanity for their guidance. In the meantime, he would see if they have developed any methods to extend the lifespans of ancient martial artists.

If they have, all will be joyous.

If not, that’s fine too. Perhaps the three of them collaborating could deduce more methods of extending lifespan.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen’s figure appeared in the Fire Cloud Cave, and coincidentally, the Heavenly Emperor, the Ancestor of Humanity, and Empress Nuwa were all present, seemingly discussing something.

"The Star Lord is here."

The Heavenly Emperor sensed Jiang Chen’s presence and welcomed him.

"You arrived just in time. We were discussing Shennong’s injuries. Back when Shennong was sorting out the earth veins of the Prehistoric World, he was wounded by a powerful figure of the Demonic Way."

"At the time, we all thought it was a minor issue and didn’t pay much heed, as Shennong was already at the level of a Great Divine Transcendent and benefited from the influence of the Earth Emperor, with almost nothing in the world able to threaten him."

"Little did we realize, this small injury developed into something that nearly took Shennong’s life. Only when it reached that stage did we discover that the injury was left by a Chaos Demigod borrowed by a Demonic Way strongman."

"By the time we realized it, it was too late. The power of the Demon God had already merged into Shennong’s original source, damaging his foundation, and even Empress Nuwa and Mother Earth, two Divine Saints of Creation, could not eradicate this demonic power."

"I heard you previously had much contact with Chaos Demigods, and perhaps you have a solution to resolve the Demon God’s power within Shennong."

The Ancestor of Humanity spoke directly upon seeing Jiang Chen.

The three strongest among humanity gathered today precisely for Shennong’s matter. If not for this injury, Earth Emperor Shennong would be the most hopeful to reach the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial after the Heavenly Emperor.

Unfortunately, due to the invasion of the demonic power into his original source, Shennong now struggles to maintain even the level of a Sub-Saint and is on the verge of falling back to a mere Great Divine Transcendent.

"Where is the Ancient Ancestor? I’ll go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen decided not to delay, first opting to assess the injuries of the Ancient Ancestor before researching extended life methods.

Shennong, due to his injuries, often stayed in the Valley of Ten Thousand Grass, a residence he built himself, filled with all spiritual herbs and grasses of the Prehistoric World, hence the name.

Though the term "ten thousand" is a placeholder, the Valley of Ten Thousand Grass is filled with spiritual herbs and grasses far exceeding tens of millions, reflecting the collection of all spiritual herbs and grasses between Heaven and Earth in the Prehistoric World, not an exaggeration but a factual depiction.

Due to the Valley being filled with all the spiritual herbs of the Prehistoric World, a special Creative Qi condensed within. Earth Emperor Shennong resides there, utilizing this Creative Qi to alleviate his injuries.

Jiang Chen, led by the Ancestor of Humanity and others, went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Grass.

At this moment, Earth Emperor Shennong was concocting medicine.

The Saint of Taiqing is the patriarch of the Pill Dao, the foremost in the art of pills in the Prehistoric World, and beneath him is none other than the Flame Emperor Shennong.

After retreating to the Valley of Ten Thousand Grass, the Flame Emperor’s daily activities involved cultivating herbs and concocting pills. Now, many powerful human pills are the result of the Flame Emperor’s research.

Meanwhile, the Flame Emperor is also attempting self-rescue, hoping to craft an unparalleled Dao Pill to heal his injuries.

Watching the Flame Emperor engrossed in pill concoction, Jiang Chen refrained from disturbing him. At their level, with any injury, just a glance is enough to gauge whether it can be healed.
