Chapter 386: Three Seven One, The Things of that Year

"What a pleasant surprise."

With the Dao Scripture’s content imprinted in his mind, an expression of surprise and delight appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. The so-called Dao Scripture is an elucidation of the Great Dao, recording the mysteries between heaven and earth and the process of cosmic evolution.

The higher the rank of the Dao Scripture, the more detailed the explanation of heaven and earth. If one could comprehend the content documented on the Dao Scripture, they could gain mastery of the corresponding Dao of Heaven and Earth.

For instance, if Jiang Chen were to grasp the essence of the Pangu Cosmic Light Dao Scripture, he could control the power of time.

The Dao Scripture is not as simple as cultivating techniques. It is the predecessors’ summary of the Great Dao and the product of the materialized mysteries of heaven and earth.

Even without cultivation, frequent reading has countless benefits. Especially since Jiang Chen’s cultivation is on the path of Taiji, comprehending the Innate Yin and Yang Great Dao Scripture would undoubtedly advance his realm further.

All these are vital resources on the path to achieving Dao.

After putting away the Dao Scripture, Jiang Chen took another glance at the Fragment of the Cangtian, then turned and left the place.

In the Fragment of the Cangtian, there were far too many shattered bodies and spilled fresh blood of strong beings, and countless powers had battled here, thoroughly disrupting the area’s rules. As a result, Jiang Chen didn’t dare to try refining the Fragment of Cangtian.

If he forcefully tried to refine the Fragment of Cangtian, these scrambled laws would undoubtedly burst out at once. By then, the power generated by the law uproar would be enough to tear Jiang Chen to pieces.

Therefore, once Jiang Chen confirmed this, he decisively left the Fragment of the Cangtian.

However, that isn’t to say he has abandoned this place, but instead, he plans to refine the Fragment of the Cangtian using a different method. He will harness the power of heaven and earth to destroy the fragment of Cangtian and then reshape it into his own world.

No matter what lies within, be it ancient god’s blood or the Remnants of Demon Saint, or even the chaotic laws, all of it would be destroyed along with the Fragment of the Cangtian, then transformed into pure cosmic energy to serve as the foundation of the newly born world.

Not only the Fragment of Cangtian, but the fragments of the surrounding Sky Land were to be destroyed as well, all transformed into resources for the newborn world.

This time, Jiang Chen intended to harness the power after the destruction of the Fragment of Cangtian to reshape the Sky Land and then bring back the magnificence of the Great Ancient Cang Mountain.

The shattering of the Nine Heavens was decided by fate and there is no chance for reconstruction. However, the Great Ancient Cang Mountain is one of the foundations of the Prehistoric World. The Heavenly Dao also longs day and night for the re-emergence of this mountain in the world.

Accordingly, if Jiang Chen attempts to reshape the Great Ancient Cang Mountain, he would undoubtedly earn enormous Merit and even the Heavenly Dao would lend a helping hand.

And the first step in reshaping Great Ancient Cang Mountain is to reshape its base, the Sky Land.

In the past, he did not have the power to accomplish this, but now, with the Fragment of Cangtian and pieces of the Sky Land to aid him, Jiang Chen felt that he could do it.

With a single thought, Jiang Chen left the Fragment of the Cangtian, but did not leave the underground.

Because there was a more critical matter to tackle before rebuilding Sky Land, and that was to eliminate all fierce beast embryos here to prevent future troubles.

...

...

By the time Jiang Chen had slaughtered all the fierce beast embryos in the area, a month had already passed.

Deep within the Dao Mirror, the body of Pangu formed by the twelve Innate Divine Swords unexpectedly began to exude a bit of the Aura of Creation. In its Third Eye, an image of an Innate Divine Fetus started to take shape, barely visible. The Aura of Creation was being emitted by it.

All the fierce beast embryos in the area were swallowed by Pangu’s body and subsequently refined into a mass of pure Chaos Essence.

Initially, Jiang Chen wanted to extract this Chaos Essence to cleanse his body and see if he could further improve himself.

But unexpectedly, before he could act, the Pangu’s body suddenly burst forth with twelve Sword Intents, which tightly intertwined with the Chaos Essence, ultimately transforming into an Innate Divine Fetus.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was initially annoyed, but then overjoyed. He vaguely understood what was happening.

The twelve Innate Divine Swords were originally one, but due to a failed gestation, they shattered into twelve pieces, falling from their previous status of top-ranking Innate Spiritual Treasure to a middle-grade level.

But now, with the emergence of the Chaos Essence, the spiritual Divine Swords sensed an opportunity to restore themselves. They infused their Sword Intent into the Chaos Essence, attempting to reforge the sword body.

This was a fortunate event. If successful, although Jiang Chen would lose the twelve Innate Divine Swords, he would gain a sword that was stronger than the Taiji Divine Sword.

The ancestor of the Underworld River, Yuan Tu, and Abi ruled the Prehistoric World with two Innate Killing Swords, claiming the title of being the strongest under the sages.

Jiang Chen’s Taiji Divine Sword is in no way inferior to either of these two Innate Killing Swords. If he acquires another stronger one, his reputation might even outshine the ancestor of the Underworld River with these twin swords.

However, the formation of the Innate Divine Fetus doesn’t guarantee the birth of the Divine Sword. To successfully birth it, Jiang Chen needs to continue improving the Dao Mirror to compensate for the inadequacies of Pangu’s body. Only then will the twelve Divine Swords attain greater harmony.

"Great! Great! Great!"

"This Little Cang Mountain range, could it be my destined place for achieving Dao!"

Ever since he arrived at the Little Cang Mountain range, Jiang Chen has been receiving various fortunes. Therefore, he felt that this place must be his destined land, the place that will aid him in achieving the Dao.

Recalling this, Jiang Chen felt even more eager to reshape the Great Ancient Cang Mountain. Having gained so many benefits from this place, if he were to leave without doing anything, who knows what trouble would arise in the future.

He must "compensate" this locus before he can leave!

...

A thought flashed in his mind, and Jiang Chen returned to the ground, preparing to arrange celestial soldiers and practice the Innate Four Stars Formation, borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth to shatter the fragments of Cangtian.

However, as soon as Jiang Chen returned to the camp, he saw Yun Ting, the divine general, constantly throwing him indirect hints, implying for him to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately understood that a envoy from Heaven Court must have arrived, and the person who came must have an extraordinary status in Heaven Court, otherwise Yun Ting wouldn’t be acting this way.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen no longer cared.

The matter of reshaping Cang Mountain was related to his future Path of Dao and was of utmost importance. Any delay was intolerable. Even if the Jade Emperor were to personally arrive and ask him to return to the Heaven Court and abandon Cang Mountain’s reshaping, it would not be acceptable, let alone anyone else.

If it comes to that, he could give up his divine position in Heaven Court. A mere divine position, how can it be compared to the Path Dao?

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen strode into the hall. He was going to see who had come and made the Divine General Yun Ting so nervous.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help frowning. Infinity of Heaven Court representatives were present. Leading them was an old man with white hair and a white robe, and a gold star on his forehead - it was Taibai.

In addition to him, there was a young god that Jiang Chen did not recognize, as well as the Jade Emperor’s eldest daughter, the Red-clad Fairy, who had previously spied on him while he bathed.

Speaking of which, the princess also has a Dao name. She received the respect of the immortals in Heaven Court as the Rosy Fairy, also referred to as Heaven Longevity Princess. So, she is not called Red-clad Fairy.

Seeing these three, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but became somewhat flabbergasted. He had only refused to return to Heaven Court; it wasn’t a huge mistake. How could it have caused Heaven Court to assemble such a large group of people, not only sending the Jade Emperor’s close officials but also the grand princess?

Could it be that he had committed a serious mistake unknowingly, and he himself was unaware of it? For a moment, Jiang Chen hesitates and doesn’t take the lead in speaking.

While Jiang Chen held back, the young god he didn’t recognize couldn’t do the same. Upon seeing Jiang Chen enter, he abruptly stood up and berated Jiang Chen, "Brazen Demon Suppression, do you understand your guilt?"

While scolding, this young god seemed to use some Divine Ability, which made his voice become countless sounds to the eye, seemingly encouraging Jiang Chen to confess and obey to law.

This was the Divine Ability of questioning guilt, a legacy Divine Ability of the Heavenly Prison in Heaven Court. It specializes in breaking people’s defenses, making them uncontrollably become remorseful, and recounting their various crimes.

Unfortunately, though the Divine Ability was good, this young man hadn’t practiced it to perfection. If it was cast by the Jade Emperor, Jiang Chen would have long been on his knees, remorseful, confessing his unspeakable thoughts.

Instead, it’s like now, where Jiang Chen only felt it was noisy. The countless sounds entering his eyes naturally made a lot of noise.

He gave the young god a cold glance and said, "Shut up!"

In an instant, an inexplicable Dao power descended, sealing his mouth and making him unable to speak.

With a "teng" sound, Taibai rose from his seat and looked at Jiang Chen with surprise, "Dao power? Have you reached the state of being Innate Dao Monarch?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Chen to answer, Taibai continued, "Indeed, I should have thought of it long ago. The one who achieved the Dao Monarch four years ago, besides you, who else could it be?"

Jiang Chen replied with a smile, "Thanks to the help of my master, I have successfully attained the position of Dao Monarch, and the Sky Land granted me the honorific title - Yu Dou Dao Monarch."

After speaking, Jiang Chen gave Taibai a salute, "The young yet unsteady Yu Dou pays his respects to Taibai Dao Sovereign."

Indeed, Taibai, this Innate Divine Demon born in the Taibai Star, had long attained the state of being an Innate Dao Sovereign. It’s a pity that if the Taibai Star had not been shattered by the Witch Clan during the decisive battle between the witches and monsters, he could be even stronger.

Not receiving Jiang Chen’s salute, Taibai smiled and said, "Friend Yu Dou now leads the Shangqing sect and stands to unify the realm of Daoism. Given enough time, you will surely ascend to the supreme position of Immortal Dao. How can I, an ordinary man, receive a salute from a future Immortal Sovereign?"

Taibai was not flattering, but stating a fact.

Now with the revival of the Shangqing sect, the two teachers of the Mystic Sect adopted a tolerant attitude, allowing the Shangqing sect to expand. If things continue this way, if there are no accidents, then it is inevitable that Jiang Chen will become Immortal Sovereign

So, even though Taibai was a Dao Sovereign, he dared not accept Jiang Chen’s salute. If you don’t know, that’s one thing, but knowing that the other side is the future Immortal Sovereign and daring to accept their saluten, did you really think the fate of Immortal Dao was just for decoration?

Until the time comes for Jiang Chen to become Immortal Sovereign, Taibai will be inevitably subject to the backlash of Immortal Dao’s fate.

"What? Yu Dou? Immortal Sovereign? Him?"

As soon as Taibai’s words fell and Jiang Chen had yet to express himself, Heavenly Longevity Princess over there seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise.

On hearing this, Jiang Chen’s face also became strange immediately, apparently reminded of the incident at the Washing Filth Spring that day.

ps: I read a harem novel, didn’t expect the author to be deceptive. It was a stock market novel, it made my stomach ache, it was particularly uncomfortable, and it also affected my writing.

It’s simply ridiculous.

If it’s a harem novel then let it be, if it’s a single female lead then let it be, but why the stock market stuff...
