Chapter 669: Five Three Four Sun Star Lord

Chapter 669: Five Three Four Sun Star Lord

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "We’ve been discussing the future, which is still far away. Now, let’s talk about something that’s about to happen and it involves you."

It involves me?

Curious, Jiang Chen asked Jiang Xuan, "What is it?"

Looking up at the sun above, Jiang Xuan spoke seriously, "Jiang Chen, do you know that the Emperor Lord is about to break through?"

The Emperor Lord? Break through?

First, he was puzzled. Then, Jiang Chen quickly came back to his senses and excitedly said, "Is our ancestor about to make a breakthrough? That’s great news, creating another peerless figure in our Human Race."

Jiang Chen was of course very pleased. The so-called Emperor Lord referred to the Sun Emperor Lord, Jiang Hao, the son of the Flame Emperor. His breakthrough would be a rare joyous occasion for both the Jiang Family and the Human Race.

Nodding his head, Jiang Xuan affirmed, "That’s right, our ancestor is about to make a breakthrough. Many years ago, he managed to cultivate to the state of a Quasi-Saint at its peak, just one step away from becoming a Great Divine Transcendents."

"And now, he is finally about to take that critical step, becoming a great Divine figure of the Human Race who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Three Emperors."

Jiang Hao, he is a contemporary of the human emperor, Xuanyuan. As the son of the Earth Emperor, he should have enjoyed all the honors of the Human Race.

However, unfortunately, the era in which Jiang Hao lived was the most prosperous era for mankind. Besides him, the Human Race also produced two unparalleled geniuses, namely Xuanyuan and Chiyou, the master of soldiers.

The two, one destined to be the human emperor and the other the reincarnation of the Witch God, overshadowed Jiang Hao, who was remarkably talented and one of the rare geniuses in history.

Jiang Hao’s talent was undoubtedly exceptional, having cultivated to the level of a Quasi-Saint at its peak as a human being, who could denigrate his talent?

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen excitedly said, "Our ancestor waited for so many years and is finally going to break through to become a Great Divine Transcendents. This is a cause for celebration for the Human Race. We must celebrate after his success."

In the Human Race, the Three Emperors are Great Divine Transcendents, and the Five Emperors are powerful beings at the peak level of a Quasi-Saint.

After Jiang Hao’s successful breakthrough, although his strength may not match the Three Emperors backed by the fate of the Human Race, his realm would be on par with theirs and even surpass the Five Emperors.

Moreover, the deterrent power of a Great Divine Transcendents is, to some extent, even greater than that of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors.

Because, although the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors are strong, they have to suppress the fate of the Human Race and cannot easily step out of the Fire Cloud Cave.

But the Great Divine Transcendents of the Human Race do not have this restriction. They can go wherever they want. In this sense, the deterrent power of a Great Divine Transcendents naturally far surpasses that of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors.

This is like a roving nuclear warhead, who wouldn’t be afraid?

When Jiang Chen’s excitement subsided, he suddenly realized that the ancestor’s breakthrough was indeed a good thing, but what did it have to do with him?

Before Jiang Chen could ask, Jiang Xuan had already spoken, "The Prehistoric World has fallen to its current state, and it is insufficient to support the birth of a Great Divine Transcendents. Therefore, the ancestor must go beyond the heavens to Break into Chaos."

"And after the ancestor leaves, this position of Sun Emperor Lord will be left vacant. We intend to have you take the position of the ancestor and become the new Sun Emperor Lord, presiding over the Sun Star."

Hearing these words, Jiang Chen’s heart involuntarily began to pound. Presiding over the Sun Star was a tremendous temptation.

You should know that the Sun Star illuminates all creatures, has boundless merit and boundless fate. In the Ancient Era, it created two Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

There are also the Ten Golden Crows. As spirits nurtured by the Great Sun, even if they committed grave wrongs, they could still be protected by the Sun Star.

Da Yi, the witch, killed them and gained a lot of merit, but he could not escape the backlash of the Sun Star’s fate and ended up in a terrible state, still sinking in the cycle of reincarnation.

It can be said that controlling the Sun Star allows one to share a part of the Sun Star’s fate as long as there’s no major mistakes, the various tribulations in this world have nothing to do with you, it’s even more comfortable than living as a True Immortal of Merit.

Futhermore, for Jiang Chen, the benefits of controlling the Sun Star are not just this.

Since the beginning of heaven and earth, with the birth of life, many people have worshiped the Sun Star. Countless years have passed, and no one knows how much profound willpower has accumulated on the Sun Star.

If these willpowers can be refined, Jiang Chen probably won’t lack the willpower of creatures anymore.

To put it bluntly, the position of the Sun Star Lord alone is worth more than countless innate spiritual treasures and is almost as valuable as an innate treasure.

Even if it’s a pig, once it becomes the Sun Star Lord, as long as it can withstand loneliness, stays in the Sun Star for retreats, it could cultivate to the realm of a Great Divine Transcendents as well.

A chance to ascend to the heavens in one step!

The Sun Star Lord, theoretically, this is a position better than that of the human emperor. After all, the Human Race can have a day of downfall, but as long as heaven and earth don’t perish, the Sun Star doesn’t risk falling.

Who dares to destroy the Sun Star? Even the Saints dare not!

If the saint blew up the Sun Star, the Heavenly Dao would dare to pull him down from his sacred position.

Upon learning this news from Jiang Xuan, Jiang Chen was almost beside himself with excitement. However, a moment later, he came back to his senses and gradually realized something was amiss.

There are so many experts in the Jiang Family and among the Human Race. Considering seniority, generation, and merit, it shouldn’t be his turn to be the Sun Star Lord after the ancestor leaves the position.

Puzzled, Jiang Chen directly asked, "Ancestor, what’s going on? Why was I chosen?"

As if he knew Jiang Chen would ask this question, Jiang Xuan directly said, "It’s simple, you are the only successor of the Ancient Martial Arts, so when the ancestor mentioned your name, the elders in the clan did not dispute it, all of them agreed."

"No one wishes for the Ancient Martial Arts to lose its inheritance in this generation."

Jiang Xuan’s reasoning seemed logical, but Jiang Chen knew that the reality must not be so.

Apart from this, after the ancient ancestor abdicated, the one most qualified to succeed as the Sun Star Lord should have been Jiang Xuan himself, shouldn’t it?

There was no need to mention Jiang Xuan’s qualifications. He was born according to the will of Heaven and nearly became the Human Emperor. If he wished to become the Sun Star Lord, on what grounds could Jiang Chen dispute with him?

Just by relying on the status of being the last successor of Ancient Martial Arts? This was too far-fetched.

Moreover, if Jiang Xuan assumed the position, then in a million years, the Human Race would probably produce another great divine transcendental generator.

In light of this, who should succeed was not obvious?

If Jiang Chen himself was part of the high-ranked Jiang family, he too would choose Jiang Xuan to succeed instead of himself.

Yet, the one who currently succeeded was himself and not Jiang Xuan. A brief thought from Jiang Chen and he knew what had happened.

It had to be that Jiang Xuan strongly recommended him. If not, how could such a good thing fall onto his own head?

Touched, Jiang Chen thanked Jiang Xuan, "Thank you, old ancestor, for your help."

Frankly accepting Jiang Chen’s salute, Jiang Xuan implicitly corroborated Jiang Chen’s guess.

But, he didn’t say anything, only cautioning Jiang Chen, "I have already informed you of the matter. You should prepare in advance and not panic, so as not to make a joke of yourself in front of outsiders."

"Also, it shouldn’t be long before the ancient ancestor finishes his preparation, calls you to the Sun Star, and passes on the Sun’s mantle to you. Just wait patiently."

"Furthermore, after your cultivation of Ancient Martial Arts is successful, the family and the clan should have granted you some power. However, considering that you, in the near future, will inherit the Star Lord apart from the Sun, you will be granted those powers again."

"To avoid the trouble, the power of the Human Race will not be opened to you this time. Once you become the Sun Emperor, it will not be too late to grant you those powers."

After becoming the Innate Dao Sovereign Lord, Jiang Chen could be considered to have truly become a high-ranking member of the Human Race, and can call on the hidden strength of the Human Race.

Knowing that the high-ranking members of the Human Race found it troublesome and therefore decided to settle both matters at once, Jiang Chen had no objections. He generously responded, "It’s no problem. It’s just a few decades. It will pass in the blink of an eye."

If it were Jiang Chen, he would also do the same. These two things were originally interconnected, so it would be more convenient to handle them as a single task.

"Hmm, I have explained everything I should have. Your place will probably be bustling soon. As an old man, I prefer quiet places. I won’t stick around and be part of the crowd, I’ll leave you."

Having said all that needed to be said, Jiang Xuan left even without waiting for Jiang Chen’s persuasion.

"Bustling?"

Jiang Chen felt strange. Cang Mountain, adjacent to the Eastern Sea was at the edge of the territory, usually without any visitors. How could it suddenly become bustling?

Just as Jiang Chen was puzzled, above the Eastern Sea, strands of Dragon Qi rose soaring into the sky, and quickly headed towards Cang Mountain.

"Is it the Dragon Clan?"

"No, not just the Dragon Clan, there are also people from the lineage of Dragon Clan. That is the Qi of the Human-Dragon, in the Eastern Sea anyone with the Human-Dragon Qi is a descendant of Xuanyuan Dragon Clan."

Jiang Chen could not help but feel surprised. Suddenly, why have the Dragon Clan and those of the Dragon lineage come to him? Is it for the Thunder Pool?

Just as he had this thought, Jiang Chen felt that something was not right. Because apart from the Eastern Sea, the other four continents, and numerous hidden worlds all had a powerful Qi rising and heading towards Cang Mountain.

"Heard that Emperor Jiuchen has successfully cultivated Martial Arts, the second prince of the Eastern Sea Dragon King, Prince Aoyi, is here to present a congratulatory gift on his father’s order to celebrate the successful cultivation of Martial Arts by the Emperor."

"Dragon Hu of the Human Race’s Dragon Clan has come under the orders of the clan head to present a gift of congratulations to celebrate the Emperor’s successful cultivation of Martial Arts."

"Li Clan of the Human Race..."

"Xia Clan of the Human Race..."

"Three-eyed Divine Race..."

"Eight-armed Divine Clan..."

Hearing their shouts, Jiang Chen instantly understood what the old ancestor had said earlier.

These people, they have all come to bear gifts.

Hearing about his success in mastering Ancient Martial Arts, all the major forces of the Human Race, as well as races friendly with the Human Race, rushed to offer their congratulations. This made Cang Mountain very lively.

Jiang Chen was naturally pleased to have people bring gifts, and he hurriedly went down the mountain to welcome the newcomers.

How should we describe Jiang Chen? Well, he can remember the people who come to give him gifts.

Similarly, he can remember those who did not come to give him gifts, and planned to remind them by making a visit soon.
