Chapter 530: 458 Summoned to Emperor Wa’s Palace

"Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree, Ancestor of Thunder’s authority. The Heavenly Dao truly favors that kid, such treasures of Thunder Dao were simply bestowed on him. It’s maddening!"

"These are the ultimate treasures, sacred items of the Thunder Dao, if I merely had one of these treasures, I could break my self-imposed shackles and reach the Quasi-Saint realm that I’ve longed for."

"If I could get both, then in the future, among the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World, there will be a place for me."

"But it’s infuriating that the Heavenly Dao would rather give these two Thunder Dao’s ultimate treasures, these sacred items, to an insignificant insect, instead of to me."

"Jiang Chen is just an insignificant insect, what virtue and ability does he have to possess these two treasures? Only I, as the successor of the Innate Thunder God, am qualified to have these two Thunder Dao sacred items."

"These treasures should have been mine, and only I can maximize their power and restore the glory of the Innate Thunder Dao."

"Today, these should return to their rightful owner."

So-called reclaiming the glory of the Divine Race, it’s all a sham, the old Divine Race Ancestors and Divine Sovereign’s assault on Jiang Chen stems purely from desire for the treasures he carries, specifically the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree and the Ancestor of Thunder’s Authority."

These two treasures are extremely important to the Divine Sovereign. It’s appropriate to say these are his tools for attaining Dao. If obtained, his cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds in one day. In the future, he might even use these to cultivate and reach the realm of the Great Divine Transcendents."

The current situation of the Divine Sovereign is very similar to a Great Divine Transcendent of Buddhism from the past, Master Randeng.

Both have been trapped at the Innate Dao Sovereign level for countless years and could not progress further.

Master Randeng has an impressive background. He is on the same level as the Sanqing and one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace. He had cultivated to the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign very early on."

Then, a tragedy occurred.

While his peers were advancing, successively becoming Quasi-Saints and even Great Divine Transcendents, he remained an Innate Dao Sovereign."

Because of this, he put his pride aside and shamelessly went to the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign to seek opportunities for breakthrough."

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, considering their past ties, did not take him as a disciple but granted him the status of deputy master of Chan Teaching. Despite this, Master Randeng could not make a breakthrough."

It was not until the Investiture of the Gods, the Quantitative Calamity, that Master Randeng met Zhao Gongming and got twenty-four Sea Pacifying God Pearls from him. Combined with his Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heaven and Earth ruler, he managed to evolve twenty-four heavens."

Thereafter, Master Randeng’s cultivation advanced remarkably. He not only broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm but walked far on this path, becoming one of the notable experts in the Three Realms."

The Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree and Ancestor of Thunder’s Authority for the Divine Sovereign are equivalent to the Sea Pacifying God Pearls for Master Randeng. These are Dao-accomplishing treasures, more important than life."

To acquire them, it’s not a big deal to offend the Human Race, not to mention offending the Saints."

The insanity of cultivators for breakthrough and attaining Dao is beyond imagination."

Just like True Man Ci Hang and his allies, in pursuit of higher realms, they directly betrayed their master, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, and fled to the Western Teaching."

This time, for the Divine Sovereign to assault Jiang Chen from beyond the Heavens, if there’s a reward, no matter how huge the price, it’s worth it."

Moreover, the Divine Sovereign’s move this time may not necessarily kill Jiang Chen. His target is only the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree and the Ancestor of Thunder’s Authority. As long as he gets these two treasures, it’s not important whether Jiang Chen lives or dies."

If Jiang Chen doesn’t die, it means there’s still room for negotiation. The Upper Qing Saints and Human Race won’t necessarily retaliate against the Divine Sovereign. Of course, even if the Saints and Human Race are outraged and take action, the Divine Sovereign isn’t afraid."

In the worst case, he can hide in the outer Chaos until he becomes much stronger and then reappear."

As for the Divine Race? If he can achieve Dao, all sacrifices are worthwhile. He will remember the children of the Divine Race, and the contributions they made for him."

The Divine Race will never perish, they will always live in his heart."

In addition, in order to protect Jiang Chen, the Human Race is willing to kill an Innate Dao Sovereign, but may not risk offending a Quasi-Saint, or even a Great Divine Transcendent."

The Divine Sovereign dares to assault Jiang Chen because he has an item of reliance in his hands, a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Innate Thunder Edict, inherited from Daoist Venerable Xuantian. It carries the might to command myriad thunders."

More importantly, the Innate Thunder Edict is one of the fragments of the top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, Heavenly Dao Edict."

In ancient legends, the Heavenly Dao encountered a calamity when it was born, which is why it’s not complete, and has an escape."

In this calamity, part of the Heavenly Dao’s original source merged with thunder and lightning, transforming into a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, known as the Heavenly Dao Edict, manifesting the will of the Heavenly Dao in the world and possessing boundless heavenly might."

However, this treasure was too defying the Heaven. As soon as it was born, it was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao and fragmented into two high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Innate Thunder Edict and Innate Lightning Scroll."

The Innate Thunder Edict was acquired by Daoist Venerable Xuantian, and now it’s in the hands of the Divine Sovereign. This treasure carries a trace of heavenly might and can communicate with the Heavenly Dao. The Divine Sovereign owes his current achievements to this treasure."

Through the Innate Thunder Edict, the Divine Sovereign sacrifices many treasures to the Heavenly Dao and obtains much information that ordinary people aren’t privy to."

For example, the reason why the Divine Sovereign knew that Jiang Chen would return from the outer Chaos was because he sacrificed a Fierce Beast of the Taoist Master Level to the Heavenly Dao, which provided him with information about Jiang Chen."

A Fierce Beast of the Taoist Master Level is incredibly powerful, its value is no less than an Innate Spiritual Treasure. The Divine Sovereign sacrificed it to the Heavenly Dao, and naturally, the information he obtained wasn’t as simple as Jiang Chen’s whereabouts in the outer Chaos."
