Chapter 439: Four One Seven Blessings from Ancestral Land

After Empress Nuwa became a saint, she was ordered by the Heavenly Dao to create heaven and earth in Chaos.

Before she left, however, Empress Nuwa personally relocated the Human Race to the shores of the Eastern Sea, secured them with a boundary, and asked her older brother Fuxi to secretly look after the Humans.

It was from that time on that the Human Race started to take root and sprout on the shores of the Eastern Sea. Eventually, the shores of the Eastern Sea became the ancestral land of the Human Race. The Three Emperors and the Five Sovereigns governed the Prehistoric World from this place.

At the end of Ancient Times, the Five Sages waged a great war that shattered the Prehistoric World. At that time, the powerful individuals of the Human Race took action together, protecting their ancestral land with supreme divine abilities and transferring it to the depths of the void, forming a separate entity.

After that, the ancestral land no longer materialized in the mortal realm but was only passed down within legends.

For mortals, traveling to the ancestral land was a monumental task. But for practitioners, especially those that had cultivated to the Golden Immortal Realm, it was not that difficult to reach the ancestral land.

If you urgently want to reach the ancestral land, you would be sensed by the ancestral land, guiding you and setting you on the path to the ancestral land.

The ancestral land might not exist in the mortal realm, but it does in the hearts of all humans. If you yearn for it within your heart, there will surely be a response.

Jiang Chen silently mentioned ’ancestral land’ within his heart, and he felt a vague response. After traveling through the vast void for a while, the scene in front of him suddenly brightened, and he arrived in an idyllic paradise.

This place was the shore of the Eastern Sea, the ancestral land of the Human Race, where the forefathers of the Human Race once lived.

Speaking of which, in the Ancient Era, while the shores of the Eastern Sea were good, they were just deemed ’good’. There was still a huge gap when compared to the top-tier Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.

However, with the rise of the Human Race, the Fate of Heaven and Earth began to converge here, inducing changes in the ancestral land. The innate energies grew stronger by the day, the laws became more active, and countless opportunities for cultivation were created. This ultimately transformed the ancestral land into a top-tier Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Upon reaching the ancestral land, Jiang Chen could feel the strong wave of innate essence energy washing over him, refreshing his spirits. The wonders of the ancestral land were far greater than even that of Cang Mountain at its peak.

This was a land cherished by the Human Path, collecting the elite qualities of the Three Emperors and the splendor of the Five Sovereigns. Every inch of the land carried an immense dignity.

The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns ruled over the countless races of the Prehistoric World here. Due to the ancestral land constantly being bathed in their dignity, it inevitably developed a trace of the regal aura, becoming extraordinary.

One could say that even if an Innate Dao Sovereign unleashed an all-out war here, they still wouldn’t be able to cause any harm to the ancestral land. The space was extraordinarily sturdy.

This was not Jiang Chen’s first time in the ancestral land. When he was young, he had also lived in the ancestral land for a while, so he was not too unfamiliar with it.

Therefore, the moment he entered the ancestral land, he headed towards the center of the land where the ancestral hall was located.

The ancestral land had two halls, one of them was the Ancestral Hall, where they paid tribute to the ancestors and held meetings. The other was the Holy Temple, where they trained the young generation.

Jiang Chen’s goal this time was the Ancestral Hall.

...

......

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

He noticed that as he drew closer to the Ancestral Hall, the power within his body became livelier. At the same time, a mysterious power from the void constantly seeped into his body.

It was the power of the Emperor’s Law Body!

Very quickly, Jiang Chen identified the cause of this anomaly. His Emperor’s Law Body shared a resonance with the ancestral land, thus granting him the blessings of the ancestral land.

Power. Unmatched power.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a new kind of unmatched power within his body. With this surge of power, he felt invincible within the ancestral land.

This was the power of the ancestral land.

The Emperor’s Law Body is the strongest physique of the Human Race and the symbol of orthodoxy.

As Jiang Chen developed the Emperor’s Law Body, he gained the approval of the Human Ancestor, Emperor Suiren. Whenever he visited the ancestral land, he would naturally receive its blessings.

The closer he got to the ancestral land, the stronger the power within Jiang Chen’s body grew. At the same time, he gained even more understanding of the ancient martial arts.

Areas that he did not understand in the past were suddenly clear as if he had attained an epiphany, allowing Jiang Chen to better control his power, reaching an intricate level.

Every bit of power would strike just right when he fought with others, not wasting the slightest bit of his strength.

Besides, his comprehension of martial divine abilities had also advanced.

The divine abilities, as if absorbed into his bones, became instinctive. Every move he made could unknowingly unleash various marvelous martial divine abilities, freely executing and withdrawing them as he wished. It was extremely mysterious.

The sense of ascension in his strength was exceptionally delightful, as if he was achieving an epiphany, making Jiang Chen eagerly immerse himself in the feeling.

But he knew it wasn’t an epiphany. An epiphany would cause him to devote himself completely, losing awareness of his surroundings. However, he was still fully aware of his surroundings.

This was a gift from the predecessors of the Human Race, helping Jiang Chen understand the ancient martial arts. The ancestral land was not only the ancestral land of the Human Race, but also the cradle of ancient martial arts.

In the past, the Human Ancestor, Emperor Suiren, meditated in the ancestral land for three thousand years. He was the first to demonstrate the martial arts, marking the beginning of the ancient martial arts.

Afterwards, under the efforts of generation after generation of the Human Race, the Ancient Martial Arts was gradually perfected and became the foundation for the survival of the Human Race.

However, although the origin of Ancient Martial Arts was the Ancestral Land, its Holy Land was Mount Buzhou.

In his later years, Emperor Suiren, near the end of his lifespan, made a special trip to Mount Buzhou to admire the divine demeanor of Pangu Great God. But while observing Mount Buzhou, Emperor Suiren suddenly attained enlightenment and meditated at the foot of Mount Buzhou for thirty thousand years.

Thirty thousand years!

The lifespan limit of Ancient Martial Artists was ten thousand years, so how did Emperor Suiren have a lifespan of thirty thousand years?

It turned out that while gaining enlightenment, Emperor Suiren had quietly achieved the realm of the Innate Dao Sovereign, breaking the lifespan limit of Ancient Martial Arts. At the same time, he also broke the curse that Ancient Martial Artists could not live forever.

After Emperor Suiren, several other Human Race ancestors also achieved enlightenment at Mount Buzhou. However, they were different from Emperor Suiren.

Emperor Suiren gained enlightenment at the foot of the mountain while they chose to force their way up Mount Buzhou, constantly confronting Pangu’s pressure to break their own limits and achieve the realm of Dao Venerable.

At the end of the Ancient Era, there was a saying that any warrior who could ascend Mount Buzhou would become a Innate Dao Sovereign. This shows the importance of Mount Buzhou to Ancient Martial Artists, truly a holy place.

Whenever Ancient Martial Artists were nearing the end of their lifespan, they would choose to go to Mount Buzhou for one final attempt.

Unfortunately, with the collapse of Mount Buzhou, Ancient Martial Artists lost this holy land of martial arts, and their prominence greatly declined.

In the upper echelons of the Human Race, it is commonly accepted that the same Dao Venerables who achieved via Ancient Martial Arts, ancient Dao Venerables are inferior to those from the Ancient Era. And the reason for this is the collapse of Mount Buzhou.

Later Dao Venerables, who have not experienced the baptism of Pangu’s pressure, lack a certain foundation and are naturally inferior to the Ancient Dao Venerables. It is rumored that those who make it to the top of Mount Buzhou will receive the favor of Pangu Great God and obtain unknown benefits.

The authenticity of the rumor is unknown, but what can be certain is that the Dao Venerables who attained enlightenment at Mount Buzhou are a cut above the rest.

Alas, what a pity for Mount Buzhou!

With the collapse of this first divine mountain of the Ancient Era, countless people’s opportunities were cut off. Part of the ongoing decline of the Prehistoric World can be attributed to this. If Mount Buzhou did not collapse, the Prehistoric World wouldn’t have fallen to the state it is in now.

...

......

Before he knew it, Jiang Chen had approached the center of the Ancestral Land. Here, there were many high-level guards. So as soon as Jiang Chen arrived here, his traces were discovered.

A few people rose into the air, blocking Jiang Chen’s path and asked him, "Who goes there?"

"Jiang Chen from the Jiang Family!" He answered them without stopping, walking forward and saying, "I heard that the Ancestral Land is sending people to arrest me. I thought that was too troublesome, so I came here myself."

Jiang Chen’s presence was too strong. He had done nothing along the way, yet he shocked the people in front of him to retreat continuously.

Then, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Chen? You’re Jiang Chen? My god, it’s only been a few years, how have you become so powerful?"

Due to the incident with Jiang Chen, the head of the Jiang Family had raised a big fuss in the Ancestral Land once, thus many people remembered this child from back then.

However, it’s only been a little over two hundred years since that incident. How did Jiang Chen cultivate from a mortal body to his current state so quickly? That’s too fast.

A celestial immortal in a hundred years is already dazzling enough. Looking at Jiang Chen’s momentum, he far surpasses a Great Luo Golden Immortal. What should this be considered, the genius of the ages? The unparalleled prodigy?

After the initial shock, someone immediately reacted and said, "Jiang Chen, this is the Ancestral Land, a place of the utmost sanctity. It’s not a place for you to make a scene. Also, you’re a member of the Jiang Family, the Ancestral Land has no right to detain you. You’ve come to the wrong place, you should go back."

How Jiang Chen cultivates is none of their business. All they need to do is to guard the Ancestral Land properly and not let anyone cause trouble. That’s enough.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "How could I have come to the wrong place? Don’t I know that the Ancestral Land is a sacred place? In the Ancestral Hall, there are even tablets dedicated to many of my Jiang Family’s ancestors."

"If I hadn’t been greatly wronged, would I have come here so aggressively?"

"Today’s matter has nothing to do with you all, and I don’t intend to make things difficult for you either. My purpose for coming here is only to enter the Ancestral Hall in front of the great pioneers of the Human Race to ask for justice!"

By the time he had said this, Jiang Chen’s momentum grew even stronger, almost suffocating the people around him.

Those people hesitated, wondering whether to let him pass or not.

If Jiang Chen had come with a smile, they would not have stopped him, letting him go to the Ancestral Hall. But now, Jiang Chen came aggressively, obviously looking for trouble, how could they dare to let him pass?

If something really happened, Jiang Chen might not be in trouble because he is associated with the Jiang Family, but they certainly would be.

However, they soon didn’t need to hesitate. Multiple figures resembling gods and demons emerged from the depths of the Ancestral Land.

A few figures like gods and demons emerged from the depths of the Ancestral Land, walking towards Jiang Chen and shouted angrily, "Jiang Chen, you have a lot of nerve. You messed up our big plan, and we haven’t even come to find you yet, but you come knocking to us first."

"Do you really think that because you belong to the Jiang Family, we dare not lay a hand on you?"

These few people are the foolish ones in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Human Race, the target of Jiang Chen’s visit to the Ancestral Land.
