Chapter 712: The 571 Opportunity Opportunity_2

Upon hearing Fusang’s words, Jiang Chen fully understood why he felt a mysterious premonition in the Eastern Sea’s boiling valley the day he refined the original source of the nine Golden Crows.

So this is the root cause!

The treasure sealed by Taiyi in the boiling valley turned out to be the original source of the East Sea Lord.

In the Ancient Era, as the Supreme Star, the Sun Star nurtured three Innate Divine Saints. Two of them were within the Sun Star, while the other one resided in the boiling valley of the Eastern Sea.

After refining the remains of the nine Golden Crows, Jiang Chen’s original source transformed, thus enabling him to resist the innate order and transform into a top-tier Innate Divine Demon.

However, the power of the nine Golden Crows could only get him this far. If Jiang Chen wanted to further evolve into an Innate Divine Saint, he would need another opportunity.

In the beginning, Jiang Chen thought this opportunity would be related to the Great Sun Buddha. However, he later found that his opportunity for transformation was in the Eastern Sea. Seems now that this opportunity is the East Sea Lord’s source.

As an Innate Divine Saint nurtured by the Sun Star, the origin of the East Sea Lord is much more mysterious than that of the Golden Crows. Even a tiny strand of it would be enough for Jiang Chen to compensate for his own weaknesses and successfully transform into an Innate Divine Saint.

And in the Chaos World, Innate Divine Saints are favored by Heaven and Earth, their status is second only to the authentic lineage of Pangu.

There’s a saying that not all Great Divine Transcendents are Innate Divine Saints, but all Innate Divine Saints are definitely Great Divine Transcendents.

This indicates that if an Innate Divine Saint does not fall halfway, he is destined to become a Great Divine Transcendent, revealing his noble status.

If Jiang Chen is to become an Innate Divine Saint, he is destined to become a Great Divine Transcendent in the future. While he still won’t be a match for Di Jun Taiyi, at least he would have the ability to protect himself.

Upon understanding the key points, Jiang Chen sincerely thanked the Fusang Tree: "Thank you for your guidance, elder. I have no way to repay this great kindness. If there’s anything you need me for in the future, I will spare no effort to help."

The Fusang Tree’s guidance was a massive help to Jiang Chen, not only did it clear up his doubts, but also found him two helpers.

The Fusang Tree made it clear. If Jiang Chen releases the East Sea Lord’s sealed original source, he could gain the favor of the Queen Mother. With her favor, she could never stand by and watch if he ever faces a crisis in the future.

Similarly, if Jiang Chen rescues the East Sea Lord, he will owe a favor to Jiang Chen once he has achieved his cultivation. This would turn out to be a massive help.

Jiang Chen believed that with him here, the East Sea Lord would never meet the same end as he did in his past life, becoming one of the Eight Immortals of Dongdong. Instead, he would most definitely display the elegance of an Innate Divine Saint, rather than falling into the dust.

The Fusang Tree guided Jiang Chen with requests in mind. Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s promise, it couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction and said: "I do indeed need your help, but not right now, in the future."

"Remember your promise today. In the future, when your Divine Dao is accomplished, I will need your help."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt relieved. He didn’t fear the Fusang Tree’s request; rather, he feared if the Fusang Tree didn’t have any requests, that would truly be a problem.

Unrelated people helping for no reason, why would the Fusang Tree be so kind to him? Surely it had its motives. Now that he laid out its request, Jiang Chen felt relieved.

If the Fusang Tree didn’t say anything and acted as though everything it did was for Jiang Chen’s sake, then Jiang Chen would have to question its purpose.

The intentions of unconnected people had better be clear.

Curious about what the Fusang Tree would ask of him that he would only be capable of doing once his Dao is perfected, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask: "May I ask what the elder needs my help with in the future? Please let me know in advance so that I can prepare."

The Fusang Tree did not directly answer Jiang Chen’s question. Instead, it shared a mysterious smile and said: "What I need help with, you would only be able to do it when your Divine Dao is perfected, if you can’t perfect your Divine Dao, then my request will be pointless."

Having said that, when Jiang Chen wanted to question further, Fusang Tree suddenly released a branch and swept Jiang Chen into the depths of the Sun Star.

"Enough, no more questions. There is still an opportunity waiting inside the Sun Star for you. Go get that first, then it won’t be too late to go to the Boiling Valley of the Eastern Sea."

As he flew deeper into the Sun Star, the aged voice of the Fusang Tree echoed in Jiang Chen’s ears.

"Opportunity?"

"What sort of opportunity?"

As Jiang Chen was wondering, the space-time in front of him suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

...

"Senior, what did you say to Jiang Chen? And also, what do you need his help with?"

After Jiang Chen’s disappearance, Jiang Hao sidled up to Fusang, inquiring in a low voice.

Giving a half-amused glance at Jiang Hao, Fusang retorted, "What did I tell Jiang Chen? Naturally, I showed him how to resist Di Jun Taiyi. Otherwise, do you think that the Jiang Family and the human race could stand against both of their retaliation?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hao suddenly fell silent. Fusang had spoken the truth; the human race indeed wouldn’t be able to withstand Di Jun Taiyi’s revenge.

After a silent moment, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but ask again,"Then, Senior, what is the favor that you need from Jiang Chen? He’s just a junior. Even if he has some skills, he might not necessarily be qualified enough to help you."

This is what you call a senior figure. Fusang hasn’t even made his request yet, and already Jiang Hao is attempting to find a way out for Jiang Chen.

Annoyed, Fusang shot a look at Jiang Hao and retorted, "You’re really nitpicking, aren’t you? After all these years, isn’t it obvious what my ambition is? All I want is to break the shackles and transform. That’s all!"

On hearing this, Jiang Hao protested, "Senior, aren’t you being unreasonable? Helping you break away and transform is something my father couldn’t even accomplish. How could Jiang Chen, a mere youngster, have the ability to do so?"

"This is outright bullying!"

Jiang Hao’s words were justified, as it really was too difficult for the Fusang tree to transform. As one of the ten innate spirit roots, once he does transform, he would become an innate god, terrifying in strength.

However, carrying the important duty of suppressing the Sun Star, how could Fusang just transform and leave casually?

Back when the Flame Emperor was ruling, he sat in charge of the Sun Star for a million years. He tried countless methods, but was unable to help Fusang to fully transform.

Even the Flame Emperor couldn’t accomplish that, so naturally Jiang Chen would hardly be able to either.

"Ah!"

After sighing, Fusang said, "I see the Divine Dao as somewhat mysterious. If it could be fully realized, it might not be impossible to lend me a helping hand. In any case, it’s always right to make early arrangements."

"If it succeeds, everyone will be happy."

"If it fails, it doesn’t matter. Jiang Chen is a man of great wisdom. In my view, his future achievements might be higher than yours. It’s always good to establish a good relationship and lay down good karma with such people."

Fusang had a clear view; a person with great wisdom like Jiang Chen had an immeasurable future, certainly worth investing in. Planting a seed with him would surely yield great benefits in the future.

Seeing Fusang’s forthrightness, Jiang Hao finally relieved, no longer suspicious of his intentions, but shifted the topic, "Senior, you said there is an opportunity waiting for Jiang Chen deep within the Sun Star, what’s this all about?"

Perhaps annoyed by Jiang Hao, Fusang glanced at him and said bluntly, "Do you think everyone is like you? Having a reputation, but no real power. Although identified as the Star Lord of the Sun Star, you hardly command the power of the Sun Star."

"Jiang Chen, on the other hand, is a top-tier Innate Divine Demon, equivalent to a child of the Sun Star. He is a proper Star Lord, recognized by the Sun Star, able to command most of its power."

"Now that Jiang Chen has returned to the Sun Star, it’s like a prodigal son returning home. The Sun Star will naturally bestow some benefits upon him."

"Think about it. Did Di Jun, Taiyi, and Dongwang Gong not have powerful spiritual treasures accompany their births?"

"Although Jiang Chen might not be on par with them, he certainly won’t be worse off. The Sun Star will naturally prepare a spiritual treasure for him to guard his body!"

ps: It’s really tough. I was ready to write in bed, but I was dragged out for socializing.

Darn it!
