Chapter 604: Four Eight Six Fish Farming

The reason Jiang Chen saw the Sea of the Mind in the void today was that Heavenly Dao noticed he was neglecting his duties, failing to perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path. Thus, it deliberately manifested the Sea of the Mind before him to give him a helping hand.

Heavenly Dao, it is indirectly urging Jiang Chen to swiftly perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path, to let the Divine Dao spread quickly in the world.

Jiang Chen is a wise man, and after the initial excitement, he quickly grasped the meaning of the Heavenly Dao.

To quickly perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path?

Heavenly Dao is the superior of the Prehistoric World, and since the superior has given the order, how could Jiang Chen, a subordinate under it, defy it?

In the Prehistoric World, one thing must be understood, that is, the order of the Heavenly Dao cannot be disobeyed. If you continue to ignore the Heavenly Dao for a long time, the result will be gradually losing the blessing of Heaven, being abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, and becoming the Tribulation Ashes of the Heavenly Earth Calamity.

Therefore, the order of the Heavenly Dao cannot be disobeyed.

If it hints to Jiang Chen to perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path, then Jiang Chen naturally needs to take action immediately.

So, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in the Divine Territory, beginning to silently comprehend the changes of the Willpower of beings, trying to comprehend the true meaning of the Incense Fire Divine Path from it.

Willpower, this is the foundation of the Incense Fire Divine Path. Jiang Chen has already comprehended it thoroughly, which means that the foundation of the Incense Fire Divine Path has been laid. What remains to be done is how to strengthen it and make it continuously sprout.

This is not difficult for Jiang Chen.

The Divine Artifact is the accompanying element of the Incense Fire Divine Path, a kind of alternate deity. It is not hard for Jiang Chen to derive the cultivation system of the Incense Fire Divine Path by combining the path of the Divine Artifact’s promotion.

Replace the world within the Divine Artifact with the Divine Territory of the deities, isn’t the cultivation system of the Incense Fire Divine Path directly derived?

If a Divine Artifact strengthens its internal world, it can get promoted, and likewise, if a deity strengthens its Divine Territory, it can also get promoted. When the Divine Territory is on par with a minor world, it would be a God Sovereign of the Dao Monarch Level.

A medium-sized world is akin to an Innate Dao Sovereign Level God Venerable. A large world is equal to a Quasi-Saint Level God King, while the Universe World, that is, a God Lord worthy of equal standing with Saints.

With a single thought, the cultivation system of the Incense Fire Divine Path was deduced by Jiang Chen. However, this is still only a general framework, and it still needs to fill in some details.

For example, how to strengthen the Divine Territory, it cannot always rely on plundering resources from the Heaven and Earth for promotion, can it?

The way of plundering is ultimately not a long-term plan. This move is too harmful to the harmony of Heaven. If this continues, it will one day alienate the Heavenly Dao and thus bring about various tribulations.

Jiang Chen still has to come up with a way to strengthen the Divine Territory without relying on plundering. Otherwise, the Incense Fire Divine Path will always be difficult to sustain in the long term and poses a huge risk.

But there’s no rush for this matter. Today, Jiang Chen has been able to perfect the cultivation system of the Incense Fire Divine Path, which is already seen as giving an answer to the Heavenly Dao, enough to appease it.

As for thinking about how to strengthen the Divine Territory, that’s a matter for the future and there’s no need to rush.

Perfecting the Incense Fire Divine Path is such a huge project, how could it be easily completed? If Jiang Chen were to perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path all at once, then how would he encounter such good things as he did today?

The Heavenly Dao, who is longing for the birth of the Incense Fire Divine Path day and night, seeing that Jiang Chen is still unable to perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path, is bound to create various opportunities for Jiang Chen to encounter, to encourage him to perfect the Incense Fire Divine Path, just like today.

For these opportunities, Jiang Chen can not entirely create the Incense Fire Divine Path all at once. If he really did it, how would he ask Heavenly Dao for benefits?

Now, Jiang Chen is dangling Heavenly Dao, occasionally perfecting a bit of the Incense Fire Divine Path, so that Heavenly Dao sees his efforts and knows that he is not slacking off.

This is raising Heavenly Dao as fish, giving it a sweet taste from time to time, not to let it despair.

However, there is a point to this that Jiang Chen needs to gauge carefully.

Otherwise, if not handled properly, causing Heavenly Dao to completely lose faith in Jiang Chen, and turn to invest in others, aiding others in creating the Incense Fire Divine Path, then Jiang Chen will have made a mistake, it would truly be a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!

Raising Heavenly Dao as fish is not a simple matter, it requires complex operations. But the more challenging it is, the more rewarding it gets when success is achieved.

The way of Practice is inherently about risk and opportunity coexisting. Want to climb to the pinnacle of Great Dao, how can you achieve it without taking some risks?

In order to attain Dao, even great risks can be put aside. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Hear about the Dao in the morning, it’s okay to die at night’?

If you want to attain Dao, you must put life and death aside. If you are too obsessed with life and death, this life is hopeless for the Great Dao.

Because the first step of transcending Heaven and Earth is to transcend life and death. First transcend destiny, then transcend life and death and time and space. After that, you can transcend everything and achieve the Dao of Primordial Chaos.

Obsessed with life and death, how can one transcend?

When the Practice is completed in the end, there is no more life and death. What is called death, for the Great Divine Transcendents, is nothing more than changing to another state of existence.

...

......

"It’s time to leave!"

After quietly making some calculations, he realized that it would take a few more years for the Divine Territory to completely refine this Sea of Mental Power.

Knowing this, Jiang Chen did not hesitate, he directly exhibited his divine ability, his mental power surged out, dragging the Sea of Mental Power, flying towards Cang Mountain.

A few years? Jiang Chen doesn’t have that much time to delay here.

Counting the days, the resentment towards the Divine Race should have reached its peak among the Human Race. Next, it’s time for him to step in, plead on behalf of humans, and obliterate the Divine Race.

It doesn’t make sense to wait here. It would be better to obliterate the Divine Race.

The Divine Race... this is precious... their physical bodies can accelerate the growth of the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree. Moreover, the wealth accumulated by the Divine Race over countless years can considerably bolster Jiang Chen’s financial resources.

Now, what Jiang Chen lacks the most is resources. The Tower of Heaven and Earth needs resources to upgrade, the Chaos Divine Palace needs resources to upgrade as well, and he also needs resources for his own cultivation.

Jiang Chen manages on his own, but the Tower of Heaven and Earth and the Chaos Divine Palace, these two divine artifacts, are the major consumers of resources. If they want to upgrade to Dao Monarch Level divine artifacts, who knows how many resources they need?

Especially the Tower of Heaven and Earth, it houses thirty-three small thousand worlds. If he wants to upgrade all these thirty-three small thousand worlds into medium thousand worlds, he doesn’t even know if the resources accumulated by the Divine Race over the years would be enough.

Jiang Chen really is audacious. He hasn’t even made a move against the Divine Race yet, but he’s already considering their treasures as his own.

As he was dragging the Sea of Mental Power, Jiang Chen’s speed was inevitably slower. However, after journeying for several days, he finally returned to Cang Mountain.

He left the Sea of Mental Power at the top of Cang Mountain, Jiang Chen ignored it, letting the Divine Territory refine it. He returned to the Cangtian Palace quietly recuperating, restoring himself to his peak state, to prepare for the impending hard battle.

Even though Jiang Chen kept saying he didn’t regard the Divine Race highly, he knew that the Divine Race wasn’t as easy to deal with as he initially thought.

The Divine Race has been able to dominate a region for many years, due not only to the Sovereign God. Underneath the God Sovereign, the Divine Race still has numerous Ancient Dao Monarchs, as well as two or three beings at a half-step Dao Monarch Level. In addition, the Divine Race also has countless Great Luo Golden Immortal Taiyi Golden Immortals of all sizes.

It is because of them that the Divine Race has such momentum today.

Even though the Sovereign God has fallen, and the strength of the Divine Race has inevitably begun to decline, as long as the Divine Race is willing to give up some territories and sacrifice some benefits, they can get past this difficulty.

Doing so would inevitably damage the interests of the Divine Race, but they could then preserve their race, which is good overall.

After all, no one really wants to exterminate the Divine Race. The other races just hope to take advantage of the situation and snatch the benefits originally belonging to the Divine Race.

Nobody would actually exterminate the Divine Race, that’s just an idea. Because the Innate Dao Sovereign is immortal. Even though the Sovereign God has fallen now, no one knows when he might resurrect.

How would the then lone Sovereign God retaliate against the forces that exterminated the Divine Race? The crazy retaliation of a Innate Dao Sovereign is chilling to even think about.

One can say that as long as a race has a Innate Dao Sovereign, this race might decline over time, but it is impossible to be annihilated.

The Innate Dao Sovereign is a guarantee of a race’s eternal prosperity. Whether the Dao Sovereign is dead or alive, this is always the case.

As long as the Divine Race has a God Sovereign, even if he has fallen, he can still protect the Divine Race, preventing anyone from daring to exterminate them.

No one, except for Jiang Chen!

Others dare not exterminate the Divine Race, but Jiang Chen dares.

If Jiang Chen exterminated the Divine Race, what could the God Sovereign do? What, the God Sovereign won’t accept it and dares to take revenge against the Human Race after he resurrects?

If the God Sovereign really did this, it would be true self-destruction. The Great Divine Transcendents of the Human Race wouldn’t mind eternally sealing the God Sovereign, never giving him a chance to appear in the world again.

This so-called guarantee is based on the condition that the powers of both parties are similar. If the power difference between the two parties is too large, this guarantee loses all meaning.

Wanting to be an enemy of the Human Race, even the quasi-saints don’t qualify, only the Great Divine Transcendents do. A mere God Sovereign can be easily crushed by a flick of the finger.

...

When dealing with the Divine Race this time, Jiang Chen will likely not receive the support of the Human Race.

Because if the Human Race intervenes, the remaining Alien Races will see this and will inevitably come to aid the Divine Race in the face of a common enemy.

If this happens, the nature of things will change. If not handled properly, it may cause a full-scale war between the Human Race and the Alien Races.

The Human Race is not afraid of Alien Races, but the rise of Alien Races must be supported by Great Divine Transcendents. Currently, the Human Race is not ready to go to war with the Great Divine Transcendents.

Therefore, in this battle, the Human Race will more than likely not assist Jiang Chen, everything depends on him. Perhaps, the higher-ups of the Human Race will treat the extermination of the Divine Race as a test for Jiang Chen.

A power without the presence of a Dao Sovereign is perfect for honing the younger generation, isn’t it?

No matter what, when it comes to exterminating the Divine Race, Jiang Chen can only rely on himself. Only in this way can things be kept under control.

Of course, Jiang Chen never thought about borrowing the power of the Human Race. It’s just a small Divine Race, who dares to say that he can’t destroy them?
