Chapter 279 - 279 268 Saint bestows treasures

279: 268 Saint bestows treasures 279: 268 Saint bestows treasures All he needed was to ask for help!

But who would he ask for help from?

Of course, he would ask his master for help!

Eight Great Luo Golden Immortals ganging up on a Golden Immortal, this was no longer describable as the bully taking advantage of the weak.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chen had every reason to ask his master to lend a hand.

So you’re allowed to bully people, but I’m not?

Jiang Chen wasn’t a loner.

Behind him were several incredibly powerful forces.

If he was bullied, he wouldn’t just let it slide.

With these thoughts, Jiang Chen put away the Nether Banner and Lamp of Salvation.

Just as the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals were about to attack, he suddenly spoke out loud:

“Today, evil spirits are causing chaos in the Shu Region, ruthlessly harming living beings, resulting in a land filled with white bones and corpses everywhere.

Therefore, I intend to establish the lineage of Shangqing here, spreading the Shangqing Tao and Law, to exterminate the evil spirits, and save the living beings of the Shu Region from disaster.”

“Now that the lineage of Shangqing has been established, but the evil spirits are powerful, and I alone cannot handle them.

Therefore, I kneel and hope for my Master’s benevolence, to reveal his holiness to the world, to help the living beings of the Shu Region escape from disaster, and protect the existence of the Shangqing lineage.”

After saying this, Jiang Chen suddenly bowed, respectfully saluting towards the void by his side.

The eight Great Luo Golden Immortals who had rushed to this place, seeing Jiang Chen’s actions, could not help but frown, a huge sense of fear rising from their hearts, casting a massive shadow over their minds.

The moment they felt this, the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals knew they were in trouble.

They wanted to leave immediately.

But the next moment, they felt an indescribable power descend from the void, enveloping them.

For a moment, the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals felt ice-cold, unable to move at all.

Meanwhile, in the remote outer Chaos, on a giant fairy island resembling a golden tortoise, resting in the sea of Chaos, the Upper Qing Saint suddenly opened his eyes, reaching out to draw the Qingping Sword hanging at his side.

“Haha!”

“The Shangqing lineage!”

“Good, very good, extremely good!”

He expressed his satisfaction three times, revealing how delighted he was.

Then, without any actions on his part, a set of banners placed in the Shangqing Palace suddenly flew into the air, traversing the vast Chaos, plunging towards the Shu Region at an incredible speed.

After sending off the banners, the Upper Qing Saint, as if remembering something, suddenly raised the Qingping Sword in his hand, emitting a sword light that was as bright as flowing water, and slashed towards the void in front of him.

The next moment, the sword light disappeared into the void, and the celestial secrets regarding the establishment of the Shangqing lineage were thoroughly disrupted.

Even other Saints would find it hard to decipher everything in a short time.

“Let’s keep it a secret for now, I’ll give you a surprise after the chaos in the Shu Region ends.”

The foundation of the Shangqing lineage was still frail.

The Upper Qing Saint was worried about targeted sabotage, so he decided to conceal the truth for now.

Once the chaos in the Shu Region was over and everything had settled down, revealing the existence of the Shangqing lineage wouldn’t be too late.

Only a month or so was needed for everything to settle down.

He was confident about concealing this matter for this period of time.

He was certain his two elder brothers would look particularly flustered when they found out about the establishment of the Shangqing lineage.

The Upper Qing Saint was thinking somewhat mischievously inside the Shangqing Palace.

…

…

Returning the focus to the Shu Region, the moment the Upper Qing Saint felt the presence, the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, who were still in place, suddenly lost their vitality.

Their ghost bodies completely dispersed, turning into a sky full of Yin energy that spread in all directions.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen temporarily invoked his Nether Banner, casting out waves of Nether Divine Light, swallowing up all the Yin energy.

After devouring the essence of these eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, the Nether Banner glowed even brighter, subsequently evolving into the forty-eighth Post-Heaven Divine Confinement, advancing to become a high-grade Post-Heaven Merit Treasure.

Next, Jiang Chen took out the Lamp of Salvation, allowing it to naturally enlighten those eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, returning them to Heaven and Earth.

After doing all of this, Jiang Chen looked down at the cultivators below.

That’s when he noticed their utterly baffled expressions.

Truly puzzled.

They had no clue what had just happened.

They saw their patriarch bow to the void, then the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals who were charging towards them were inexplicably immobilized.

Next, those eight Great Luo Golden Immortals inexplicably fell.

During this, no one saw any signs of intervention.

In fact, even Jiang Chen couldn’t figure out how those eight Great Luo Golden Immortals fell.

They just died.

Suddenly.

However, it didn’t matter if they didn’t understand.

It was enough for Jiang Chen to know that the Upper Qing Saint had taken action.

After all, the Great Luo Golden Immortals were merely ants in the face of a Saint.

With just a thought, they could be wiped out millions of times over.

And it was only right that they couldn’t understand the Saint’s actions.

If they did, they wouldn’t be listening to Jiang Chen preach down below, but it would be Jiang Chen listening to their teachings instead.

…

Looking at the confused crowd, Jiang Chen said, “My fellow disciples, do not panic.

Just now, our ancestor has manifested and slain those eight trespassers.”

Jiang Chen’s voice woke up the crowd.

Immediately, the disciples as if realizing something, hastily shouted reverently, “Our Ancestor is omnipotent and boundless!”

Amid the disciples’ salutations, a flash of lightning streaked across the distant sky and raced towards them.

The lightning was unbelievably fast, one moment it was at the horizon, and the next, it was right before their eyes.

The lightning halted in front of Jiang Chen.

Looking up, they saw a set of array banners, thirty-six in count, each banner embroidered with a distinctive Demon God, surrounded by Innate lightning, radiating an astonishing aura.

This was obviously the set of banners bestowed by the Upper Qing Saints.

Though many of the cultivators present lacked knowledge and failed to recognize the images of the Demon Gods on the banners, Jiang Chen, with the legacy of Xi Huang, knew them well.

From Xi Huang’s legacy, Jiang Chen identified that the Demon Gods depicted on the banners were the Heavenly Gang’s thirty-six Star Gods.

Born from the Heavenly Gang’s thirty-six cycle of stars, each of these Innate Spirits was an Innate Divine Demon, each possessing the cultivation level of an Innate Dao Sovereign.

They were also the demon gods of the Great Ancient Heaven Court.

The teamwork of thirty-six Heavenly Gang Dao Sovereigns, deploying the Heavenly Gang Great Array, was not even a match for the ordinary Quasi-Saint powerhouses.

Unfortunately, even these mighty beings could only fall in the war of witches and demons.

This set of thirty-six array banners, put aside other things, solely from its ability to carry the Dao manifestation of the Innate Dao Sovereign, could discern its uniqueness.

Innate Dao Sovereigns, with endless power, ordinary things could not even bear their appearances, let alone their power, which are disintegrated in an instant.

But this set of array banners not only perfectly carried the visage of the Innate Dao Sovereigns, it also exuded a breathtaking aura, clear as day that it was no ordinary item.

Moreover, the natural lightning flickering incessantly around them, it is an understatement to say that each one had the power to severely injure a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

This was without anyone stirring it.

If it were activated and formed into a large array, it was almost formidable enough to easily slay a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen reached out and took the set of array banners in his hand, closely examining it.

The Innate lightning on the banners was certainly strong, but how could it harm Jiang Chen?

The moment he picked it up, without any need for refining, the banners recognized Jiang Chen as their master, and the Innate lightning on their bodies immediately converged.

Such behavior was undoubtedly the doing of the Upper Qing Saints.

Once recognized as the master, Jiang Chen also learned the name of this set of banners – Heavenly Gang Thirty-six Thunder Banners.

Named after the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars, each was a top-tier post-heaven treasure, imbued with forty-nine post-heaven divine prohibitions.

As for its power, though Jiang Chen had yet to test it, he could faintly sense that each of the Heavenly Gang Banners harboured terrible power, not any less than the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in his hands.

It was even slightly better.

This was somewhat astonishing.

The power of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was not much lesser than an Innate Magic Treasure.

That meant, that each of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang banners was no weaker than an Innate Magic Treasure.

If they joined forces, their power could absolutely rival an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

As for what level they reached, whether they were low-grade, mid-grade, or high-grade, since Jiang Chen hadn’t tested them, he wasn’t very clear.

In short, they were very strong.

“What a treasure!

Indeed, anything bestowed by the Saints is bound to be of superior quality.

This magic treasure is far more powerful than the Netherworld Banner and the Lamp of Salvation.

Now, with this array, the evil spirits on Qingcheng Mountain are facing their doomsday.”

Looking at the Heavenly Gang Banners in his hand, Jiang Chen was growing fonder of it.

The thirty-six Heavenly Gang Banners formed an array, which could summon the power of the Heavenly Gang Stars, transform Innate Divine Thunder into boundless Thunder Domain and exterminate all creatures.

Even if the six Great Ghost Gods and eight Ghost Commanders were remarkable in strength, under the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Thunder Array, they couldn’t escape the fate of turning to ashes.

With a single thought, the Saints could comprehend everything under heaven, the situation that Jiang Chen faced was known to the Upper Qing Saints with one thought.

Therefore, he bestowed this array on purpose to help Jiang Chen eliminate the evil spirits on Qingcheng Mountain, earn the merit of pacifying the chaos in the Shu Region, and firmly establish the ten thousand years foundation of the Upper Qing lineage.

After eliminating the evil spirits on Qingcheng Mountain, this array would become the protective array of the Upper Qing lineage, ensuring its long-lasting prosperity.

The power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Array was so mighty that only the Daluo Dao Sovereign could break it.

As for the Daluo Dao Sovereign, who would casually target a lineage passed down by the Saints?

Do they really think the Saints are made of clay?

This array, in the human world, can basically be considered as invincible.

………………

“Huh?”

Suddenly, a look of puzzlement appeared on Jiang Chen’s face.

As he looked, he unexpectedly felt a sense of familiarity from the array banners in his hands, as if he had seen this set of banners somewhere before.

Feeling puzzled, Jiang Chen carefully reviewed the Upper Qing legacy.

He didn’t see this set of array banners in it, but he did see the layout method of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Thunder Array.

At first, Jiang Chen thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but that sense of familiarity just wouldn’t go away.

It was as if he had seen a ghost.
