Chapter 484: Four Four Two Arriving_3

Having finished speaking, the Jade Emperor felt an uplifting of his spirits, leading to a much better mood. At this point, he no longer had idle conversations with Jiang Chen, but focused on the journey instead.

As for Jiang Chen, noticing the Jade Emperor’s silence, he naturally did not initiate conversation. At the moment, he deeply regretted. Had he known the Jade Emperor would discuss all these with him, he would not have embarked on this journey to the Five Elements Secret Realm.

Currently, he was truly scared that the Jade Emperor, in a sudden impulse, might consider killing him to silence him, throwing him into the chaos beyond the sky, and then everything would be done for.

......

.........

After a quiet journey, the extent of which was unknown, a streak of light suddenly appeared in the eternal darkness of the chaos beyond the sky.

It was a five-colored divine light, exceptionally striking amidst the chaotic darkness.

As they neared, Jiang Chen realized what the luminous object was. It was an enormous sphere of five-colored light, floating in chaos, constantly surrounded by a swirling five-colored halo.

"Such rich innate Five Elements Essence!"

Arriving here, Jiang Chen realized they’d reached their destination; within the chaos beyond the sky, only the Five Elements Secret Realm left by the Taoist Ancestor could emit this intense power of the Five Elements.

Sure enough, in front of this five-colored sphere of light, the Jade Emperor stopped and addressed Jiang Chen and others, "We have reached the Five Elements Secret Realm. As soon as you enter this light sphere, you will be transported to the Five Elements Secret Realm."

At this point, the Jade Emperor turned towards Jiang Chen and reminded him, "Jiang Chen, due to the vow I’ve made, I must not interfere with this Five Elements Secret Realm, so I entrust the care of Tian Shou to you during this secret realm adventure."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen quickly assured, "Your Majesty can rest assured, as long as Jiang Chen is safe, I will definitely protect the seven princesses."

"Uh-huh." The Jade Emperor nodded, apparently pleased with Jiang Chen’s attitude, and began to explain the situation inside the secret realm: "This secret realm has already been refined by my master. Even if there were any dangers before, there are none now."

"Moreover, constrained by my master’s Divine Ability, even though the origin of this Five Elements Secret Realm is rich, it cannot give birth to beings at the Taoist Master Level. With your current strength, even if you encounter dangers within, escaping should not be difficult."

"So, you have nothing to worry about."

"I can tell you the truth. This journey to the Five Elements Secret Realm, for you, is simply an opportunity to acquire good luck. If not for Tian Shou’s strength being too weak, such a good opportunity wouldn’t have fallen upon you."

With the Jade Emperor saying all this, Jiang Chen understood everything.

This Five Elements Secret Realm held no dangers for him, but it was very dangerous for the Seven Fairies. The Jade Emperor, not wanting his daughters to venture here, had chosen Jiang Chen, expert enough to navigate the Five Elements Secret Realm, to be their bodyguard.

Once this was done, the Jade Emperor could be at ease. However, by doing so, he had given Jiang Chen a free favor, giving him such a great opportunity.

The Jade Emperor had made it clear that this opportunity was a gift to Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen still did not understand and did not know how to respond, then he would have lived in vain. As a result, he quickly replied:

"Your Majesty need not worry, I will definitely do my best to help the seven princesses obtain the treasures from the secret realm. But I wonder, what treasure are we seeking? Could you please share that information with me?"

To be honest, Jiang Chen was quite curious about what treasure the Jade Emperor wanted the seven princesses to secure. Given the Jade Emperor’s status, what kind of treasure did he lack? He’s actually risking sending the seven princesses into this Five Elements Secret Realm to find it.

Apparently, this treasure was either extraordinarily rare or extremely special, only available in the Five Elements Secret Realm.

The Jade Emperor did not conceal anything and spoke straight, "There’s no harm in telling you, in any case, you are going to see it for yourself."

"In the center of the secret realm, there is a Purple Qi which embodies the exquisite Yin-Yang Five Elements Creation. It’s the power of the Heavenly Dao left by my master, fused with the original source of the Five Elements Demon God, and is unfathomably mysterious."

"Your job is to help Tian Shou and others reach that place, and ensure their safety while they are collecting that Purple Qi."

Collect, Protect!

Jiang Chen extracted the key points from what the Jade Emperor had said. There was a chance of erratic fluctuations when the Seven Fairies were collecting the Purple Qi. Therefore, the Jade Emperor required him to protect the Seven Fairies at that time.

Nodding his head, Jiang Chen seemed to have made a commitment: "Jiang Chen will definitely give his best!"

Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "Not your best, but definitely."

"Jiang Chen, regardless of the means used, you must help Tian Shou and others get that Purple Qi."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned as he was about to say something. However, before he could speak, the Jade Emperor continued, "I know, my request is quite unreasonable, but this object is extremely important to Tian Shou and others, as it relates to their future path to Dao."

"I’m not ordering you as a Heavenly Emperor but as a father, begging for your help!"

"Of course, I know this task is difficult, so I won’t let you help for nothing. I can give you information about the opportunities in the Five Elements Secret Realm."

Jiang Chen was a very pragmatic man. Initially, he felt the Jade Emperor’s request was a bit too much, but upon hearing that there were benefits, his mentality immediately changed.

He felt that although the Jade Emperor’s request was excessive, it embodied an elderly father’s concern for his daughters, which was touching. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to give the Jade Emperor a hand.

He was on the verge of making a breakthrough.

If he could advance further within the Five Elements Secret Realm and attain the Blood Rebirth realm, he should be able to navigate the secret realm more confidently. Helping the Seven Fairies retrieve the treasure would also become much easier.

Noticing that Jiang Chen was intrigued, the Jade Emperor seized the moment to say, "My master, when creating the Five Elements Secret Realm, left six nodes in the Innate Five Elements Great Array."

"Of these six nodes, one is at the center, symbolizing the Five Elements. The remaining five are spread in five directions, symbolizing Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth."
