Chapter 588: Four Seven Nine Brings Disaster to the Witch Clan

With the influence that Jiang Chen has gained on Spiritual Mountain, he has become a figurehead of Buddhism. It will certainly make it easier to further his plans.

After conversing with Jiang Chen, The Buddha left. After all, he would need to make some accomplishments if he wanted Jiang Chen to yield, right? For now, he decided to allow the lineage of the great virtue and great power king Buddha to develop.

Only then, could he negotiate with Jiang Chen.

After the Buddha left, Jiang Chen rode the clouds back to Heaven Court and reported to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have successfully accomplished the task and captured the demon monkey, awaiting Your Majesty’s judgement!"

Seeing Jiang Chen triumphant in return, the Jade Emperor loudly praised: "Having Jiuchen around is a blessing for Heaven Court. As for that demon monkey, since Jiuchen has captured it, it will be given to Jiuchen to deal with to avoid any further upheaval."

The Jade Emperor was aware that when Jiang Chen asked for his judgement, it was simply a formality. If he truly interfered, Jiang Chen might not listen and it would lead to an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor generously declared that Sun Wukong would be left to Jiang Chen’s disposal.

After a round of harmonious exchanges with the ministers, the Jade Emperor suddenly issued a decree to summon all the heavenly beings and deities to a grand conference. This was to celebrate Jiang Chen’s success and to mark the return of peace to Heaven Court.

Some palaces and temples in Heaven Court were destroyed by Sun Wukong, leaving ruins everywhere. It was an ugly sight, but Heaven Court had countless capable people who, through their mighty powers, could disguise everything so no one could tell.

As for Pan Peaches, divine wine, Golden Pills and the like that had all been eaten by Sun Wukong, it did not matter.

When the various deities arrived at Heaven Court, some brought celestial fruits, others brought celestial wine, and a few even presented immortal pills and exquisite dishes. Thus, a grand conference to celebrate peace in Heaven took place.

Above the Jade Pool, the immortal women sang and danced. The entire gathering of immortals were drinking and making merry. The scene could be described as:

Heavenly fragrance filled the palace, with colourful celestial blossoms. The golden palace in the Jade Capital was full of glory, with extraordinary treasures priceless.

...

......

After the banquet ended, Jiang Chen bid farewell to the Jade Emperor and piloted the clouds back to Cang Mountain. However, midway, he suddenly changed course and flew towards the Nanbuzhan Continent.

Currently, above the Nanbuzhan Continent, the fate of the Great Han seemed to be at its end. It was right at the time when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.

Jiang Chen’s visit here was not because he wanted to meddle in the changing of human kingdoms, but because he felt something in his heart that led him to come and observe the scene of the final period of this dynasty.

The princes were fighting, smoke rose everywhere, order was in chaos, and the people lived a life worse than death. This was a true portrayal of the end of a dynasty.

Jiang Chen, having seen so many human tragedies in his journey, couldn’t help but furrow his brows even though he had cultivated to the point of becoming impervious to worldly affairs.

However, there was nothing he could do.

The transition of a dynasty is a time when resentment and disaster energy are most active. Even if a cultivator had a savior’s mindset, seeing the disaster energy filling the heavens and the earth, they could not help but halt their steps and escape deep into the mountains and old forests.

Being surrounded by disaster energy, even if it only drains the cultivator’s skills, they might not be afraid. However, the consequence of being surrounded by disaster energy often causes a cultivator to lose control, becoming fanatic and turning into a demon who only knows killing.

In the Nanbuzhan Continent, where mortals outnumbered others, the destruction caused by a cultivator going berserk was much more significant than the damage caused by the transition of a dynasty. Therefore, it was rare to see the figures of cultivators in the change of mortal dynasties.

However, the non-interference of cultivators in the dynastic changes was not the reason for Jiang Chen’s non-participation. He did not interfere because the Fate of the Han Dynasty had not yet ended.

If it weren’t so, Jiang Chen could easily assemble an army of hundreds of thousands with just one order, due to the vast network he had built in the Nanbuzhan Continent over the years. They could become a powerful lord and vie for the world, bringing peace within their borders.

Unfortunately, as the Fate of the Han Dynasty had not yet ended, if Jiang Chen were to act now and bury the Great Han, he would inevitably face the backlash from the Fate of the Great Han.

The backlash of fate directly affected the lifespan. Jiang Chen was not a long-lived being. If he were to face the backlash of fate, who knew how many years he would have left of his ten thousand years lifespan?

Simply put, Jiang Chen was cherishing his own life.

Welcome to the!

He was willing to save the masses, even at some cost, as long as it did not threaten his own life.

However, if it required him to sacrifice his own life for the sake of saving the masses, sorry, but Jiang Chen couldn’t do it. He was not yet enlightened to that level.

Jiang Chen knew, with his own temperament, he could never become a saint or a perfect being in this life. Hence, when he performed the Great Wish Technique, he didn’t hesitate to pay with the restriction of never becoming a saint.

Since he could not achieve it, sacrificing it was undoubtedly effortless. However, the reality also proved that he thought too much. The Great Wish Technique was indeed nothing more than boasting. Even if he failed in the end, it wouldn’t matter.

"Sigh~~~"

"Let’s wait a bit longer. Once the fate of the Great Han exhausts completely, if the world is still like this, I shall try and see if I can change the course of this world."

In a sigh, Jiang Chen arrived at the imperial palace of the Great Han and casually strolled in.

However, the guards inside and outside the palace, upon seeing Jiang Chen, had no reaction. It was as if they didn’t see him at all.

Indeed, they couldn’t see him. Given Jiang Chen’s current cultivation level, even if the ancient Daluo was in front of him, they would find it hard to detect his presence if he didn’t want to be seen.

As for the Fate of the Great Han hovering above the palace? It was so weakened that it had lost its proactive power, only retaining the ability to retaliate. As long as Jiang Chen didn’t show hostility, the Fate of the Great Han could not discover him either.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the heart of the Great Han’s power. However, the person managing affairs here was not the emperor of the Great Han, but someone who did not carry the bloodline of the Liu family.
