Chapter 637: Five One Three, There’s an enemy_2

"Looking at the devout expression on Shangwu’s face, Jiang Chen asked, "Shangwu, how did you get here?"

Shangwu replied, "I was sent here by the order of the Demon Ancestor to the Eastern Sea to guard this place."

"It was probably at the end of the ancient times, when the Prehistoric World had just shattered, the Demon Ancestor, who was sealed in the Dark Abyss, suddenly contacted me, instructing me to abandon my physical body and enter the Realm of Nothingness with my mind to establish a Mind Spiritual Sea for him."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen realized that his worry had come true, the Demon Sect had indeed discovered the Mind Spiritual Sea and had been planning for years.

Fortunately, the one who established the Mind Spiritual Sea was the Primordial Heavenly Demon, not the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, which reassured Jiang Chen greatly.

Ever since the battle between Dao and Demons, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou has been following the Heavenly Dao to cultivate the Demonic Way, and then entered the Ruined Land to establish the Demon World. Since then, no news has come forth.

The second generation Demon Ancestor, Primordial Heavenly Demon, was sealed deep into the void, within the Dark Abyss by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign during the ancient times.

The Demon Ancestor mentioned by Shangwu is indubitably the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

This discovery made Jiang Chen breathe a sigh of relief. If it was Demon Ancestor Luo Hou who acted, even with all of Jiang Chen’s confidence, he wouldn’t dare contend with such a powerful figure.

But if it’s the Primordial Heavenly Demon, Jiang Chen thinks he can still fight against him. It’s not that Jiang Chen is being arrogant, but that the Primordial Heavenly Demon is still in a sealed state.

Under such a condition, even if the Primordial Heavenly Demon’s power approaches that of a saint, what of it? How much of that power could he actually exert?

Though the enemy is strong, they are in a disadvantageous position. Jiang Chen, holding the advantage, naturally has abundant confidence. Even if it’s a top-tier Great Divine Transcendent, he dares to wrestle with them.

It’s all about achieving enlightenment, and there is no room for retreat.

"The Heavenly Demon?"

"Very well, let me test how well you, the second generation Demon Ancestor, stand up."

Though Primordial Heavenly Demon is the second generation Demon Ancestor, Jiang Chen is not inferior either. He is the future founder of the Divine Dao, a God Ancestor, in no way weaker than the Demon Ancestor.

Being a God Ancestor, he can’t let down the prestige of the Divine Dao. With this thought, Jiang Chen didn’t feel afraid of the Primordial Heavenly Demon anymore.

Although it was somewhat surprising that the Demon Sect discovered the Mind Spiritual Sea, it was far from a shock for Jiang Chen. After all, there are countless talented people in the Prehistoric World. It’s very normal that someone noticed the Mind Spiritual Sea.

Especially the Primordial Heavenly Demon, who created the Heavenly Daemon clan, invisible and formless, feeding on minds and spirits.

From this, one could tell that the Primordial Heavenly Demon had done extensive research on the path of minds and spirits.

Therefore, his discovery of the Mind Spiritual Sea is not a surprising matter at all.

Also, the Mind Spiritual Sea is boundless, far more vast than the Three Realms. It is likely, that in the places invisible to Jiang Chen, there could be forces other than the Demon Sect, setting their plans in motion.

This is very likely.

There are so many opportunities in the Prehistoric World that it’s impossible for Jiang Chen to monopolize them all.

The appearance of others vying for these opportunities is normal.

As for who will ultimately seize the opportunities, that depends on everyone’s individual means.

"Time does not wait for me!"

The appearance of the Demon Sect made Jiang Chen feel a sense of urgency for the first time. There were many preparations for the Mind Spiritual Sea he had not yet completed, but in order to seize this opportunity, many of his plans had to be put into action ahead of schedule.

The best-laid plans often cannot keep up with the changes.

Next, Jiang Chen began to ask Shangwu about the Primordial Heavenly Demon’s arrangements in the Mind Spiritual Sea.

Knowing onself and one’s enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.

Since he is destined to confront the Primordial Heavenly Demon, eliciting some information about him from Shangwu serves to enhance his understanding of the opponent in advance.

Shangwu, having been completely subdued by Jiang Chen, regarded him as his lifelong faith. He had long cast the Primordial Heavenly Demon behind his mind and answered Jiang Chen’s questions without any reservations.

Then, Shangwu narrated the Primordial Heavenly Demon’s scheming in the Mind Spiritual Sea in detail.

"So it seems, I need to thank the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign?"

After hearing Shangwu’s reply, Jiang Chen felt quite moved. He found out that his chance of gaining the Mind Spiritual Sea today was all thanks to the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

If it were not for the ancient era when the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign sealed the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign, the World of Heart would have been refined by the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign long ago, serving as the foundation for his breakthrough to Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

According to Shangwu, as early as in the ancient era, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign had discovered the World of Heart and regarded it as a critical factor for the rise of the Demonic Way.

Unfortunately, before he could set up in the World of Heart, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had already killed his way with the Pangu flag, eradicating the physical body of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign and sealing his True Spirit in the Dark Abyss.

As a result, the World of Heart was spared and never tainted by the demon. This was why Jiang Chen could have a chance to influence the World of Heart in this world.

After being sealed for countless years, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign finally managed to open a crack in the seal at the end of the ancient times, allowing him to transmit a hint of demonic thought to make all efforts by the Heavenly Demon Clan to corrupt the World of Heart, waiting for his release.

"The Heavenly Demon Clan, huh?"

With the enemy suddenly downgraded from the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign to the Heavenly Demon Clan, the pressure on Jiang Chen was greatly eased.

Although the Heavenly Demon Clan was powerful, they were nowhere near comparable to the Primordial Heavenly Demon Sovereign. Battling with them, Jiang Chen’s chances of winning increased significantly.

However, one thing was troublesome.

That was the large number of the Heavenly Demon Clan, while Jiang Chen was lonely and weak.

Moreover, Jiang Chen could not focus his energy on the World of Heart for a long time. Outside, there were many things waiting for him to handle.

If the Heavenly Demon Clan took advantage of Jiang Chen’s absence to launch a large-scale attack on the Primordial Divine Realm, it would also be a problem.

The Primordial Divine Realm had no living creatures inside, in other words, it had little defensive power. If the Heavenly Demon Clan attacked, they would surely not be able to resist.

"What a nuisance!"

"It seems that I need to speed up the birth rate of the deities of the Divine Realm."

Anticipating the besiegement by the Heavenly Demon Clan, Jiang Chen frowned.

That said, it’s not like the Primordial Divine Realm has no resistance. It also conceives a number of deities.

It’s only because Jiang Chen used up too many Divine Realm Original Source when developing the Primordial Realm, as a result, these deities have been unable to fully develop.

If these gods are born, with them there, even if the Heavenly Demon Clan launches a large-scale attack, they would hardly break the Primordial Divine Realm.

Not to mention the God of Cang Mountain. With the integration of the Cang Mountain Divine Territory into the Primordial Divine Realm, he has also become one of the numerous gods conceived in the Primordial Divine Realm.

As long as the God of Cang Mountain is born, with the blessing of Cang Mountain’s original source, he can directly gain power paralleling the Innate Dao Sovereign.

With him guarding the Primordial Divine Realm, unless those oldest ends of the law masters amongst the Heavenly Demons take action, otherwise, no matter how many Heavenly Demons come, they won’t be enough for the God of Cang Mountain to kill.

But those ends of the law masters are all key figures under the watchful eye of the Mystical Sect’s Taoist Masters. How dare they leave the Heavenly Demon Territory rashly?

If they really wanted to take action, I fear they would be killed by the Mystical Sect’s Taoist Master on the road before they could reach Cang Mountain.

Apart from the God of Cang Mountain, there are also many indigenous divine beasts in the Primordial Divine Realm that are being conceived. After their birth, although they couldn’t, like the God of Cang Mountain, possess the power to intervene in reality.

But in the Divine Realm, each of them could demonstrate power comparable to Dao Monarchs.

This was also a formidable force. With them assisting the God of Cang Mountain, the Primordial Divine Realm would have nothing to worry about.

It’s just a pity that although these deities are powerful, they are all in the midst of gestation. It would take a long time for them to be born.

Jiang Chen can’t wait that long.

Or to put it another way, the Heavenly Demon Clan might not give Jiang Chen that much time.

After thinking it over, Jiang Chen finally decided to force the birth of these deities, allowing them to guard the Primordial Divine Realm first and foremost.

Forceful birth was bound to come at a price, but it didn’t matter. The price was only temporary.

As the Primordial Divine Realm continues to improve, the Original Source will surely become stronger and stronger, with the help of which, no matter how big the defects are, they can be made up.

To force the birth of these deities isn’t difficult.

The reason they couldn’t be born was merely due to the lack of Original Source. As long as the Original Source is replenished, they could be born smoothly.
