Chapter 485: Four four three one daughter, seven daughters

"While the Innate Five Elements formation is in operation, the transformed Chaos Qi, along with the Origin Qi of the Five Elements Demon God and the essence of its flesh and blood, would partly condense in those six nodes."

"Over time, the gathering of Chaos Qi and Demon God Qi would generate various kinds of changes, thereby giving birth to precious treasures like Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"Back then, before the treasure dividing at the Treasury Rock, my teacher took from the six nodes of the Five Elements Secret Realm a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure - the Bead of Five Elements and five high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures: Gold Spiritual Bead, Wood Spiritual Bead, Fire Spiritual Bead, Water Spiritual Bead, Earth Spiritual Bead."

"And now, two Quantitative Calamities have passed since the treasury was divided at Treasury Rock."

"Although the origin of the Five Elements Secret Realm is not as it used to be, so many years have passed, within those six nodes, even if high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures cannot be created, each could still nurture a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Six mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures are certainly valuable. Still, frankly speaking, given Jiang Chen’s current assets, they are not that attractive. They’d be more like it if they were six high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Truthfully, if the Jade Emperor had given him six high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, Jiang Chen would risk his life to help the Seven Fairies get that purple Qi."

The most compelling thing is always self-interest.

However, the six mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures failed to move Jiang Chen, but the next words from the Jade Emperor made his heart flutter.

The Jade Emperor said, "Jiang Chen, you only know that the five Qi in your chest, which are condensed from the Origins of the Innate Five Elements, are the Supreme Dao base. But do you know when this saying started to spread?"

"It originated in the era before the Ancient Age, when the three tribes ruled, and was passed down from a group of ancient supremes."

"Before the three tribes, in the Savage Era when the Innate Divine Saints and Innate Fierce Beasts coexisted, how did they cultivate? What did they use to condense the five Qi in their chests?"

"Jiang Chen, do you know?"

Jiang Chen didn’t know; his understanding of the Prehistoric World began at the end of the three tribes era and ended at the end of the Ancient Era. There weren’t many records regarding the earlier times in the inheritance of both Xu Huang and Shangqing.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was not very clear.

From the memories of his previous life, Jiang Chen only knew the approximate trajectory of the Prehistoric World. He did not know the specific details until he received the inheritance of Xu Huang and Shangqing. It was there in the records of the inheritance that he learnt about some ancient matters, thereby filling in the details.

However, both Xu Huang and Shangqing Saints, who were born at the end of the Three Tribes era, did not know much about the earlier Savage Era, let alone Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn’t know much about the era preceding the Three Tribes. He only knew that during that era, Innate Divine Saints and Innate Fierce Beasts coexisted in a state of constant warfare.

That era is known as the Savage Era. At that time, Heaven and Earth had just opened. Only a few Innate Divine Saints and the descendants of the Chaos Demigod were born and roamed between Heaven and Earth.

This was not the strongest period of the Prehistoric World, but it was absolutely the era boasting the most number of Innate Divine Saints. In that era, there was no such thing as Innate Life Beasts; the least remarkable beings were Innate Divine Demons, while Innate Divine Saints appeared in swarms.

Dao Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, Ancestor Dragon: these experts were all born in that era.

The Innate Fierce Beasts of that era were not the same as the present Fierce Beasts. These were beings born from the bloodline of the Chaos Demigod, possessing great power and top-tier wisdom from birth, making them natural enemies of the Innate Divine Saints.

The two sides had been at war since birth, vying for control of the Prehistoric World. Eventually, the Innate Divine Saints paid a terrible price to kill all the Innate Fierce Beasts, putting an end to the Savage Era.

Jiang Chen’s knowledge of the Savage Era was limited to this. He didn’t know the more specific details, such as how the Innate Divine Saints cultivated during that era.

Right, it is said that during the Savage Era, the Innate Dao Sovereign was the end of the Great Dao, with no Quasi-Saints or Primordial Daluos in existence.

It was not until the end of the Savage Era when some of the top Innate Divine Saints furthered their cultivation that realms above the Dao Sovereign emerged.

However, the realm at that time was not referred to as Quasi-Saint but Supreme, Daluo Supreme.

A Quasi-Saint was the title for the state of Daluo Supreme achieved by the Dao Ancestor. It was a realm he founded, and as Immortal Dao thrived, it replaced Supreme and became the name for the realm beyond Dao Sovereign.

The era of the three tribes was the most exciting time of the Prehistoric World. Numerous supremes pioneered the path one after another, thus leading to the prosperity of the Wu Demon period in later generations.

...

The Jade Emperor, having followed Dao Ancestor for many years, absolutely knew a lot about the Savage Era’s old events and the secrets of Heaven and Earth. Since he was willing to speak, Jiang Chen didn’t mind learning and earnestly asked, "Jiang Chen knows very little about the Savage Era, I beg your majesty to enlighten me."

Seeing Jiang Chen’s interest, the Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The origin of the Innate Five Elements was a rare resource even in the Ancient Era."

"But in the Savage Era, when Heaven and Earth had just opened, the Origin Qi of Heaven and Earth was still flowing everywhere. Therefore, the Origin of Innate Five Elements was not scarce in the Savage Era, one can even say it was ubiquitous."

"The Innate Divine Saints of that era looked down on the Origin of Innate Five Elements and would not use it to cultivate the five Qi in their chests. The treasures they used for cultivation were Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"The Innate Divine Saints roamed between Heaven and Earth, searching for Innate Spiritual Treasures with Five Elements properties. They would integrate them into the internal organs of their body to cultivate the five Qi in their chests."
