Chapter 730: 580 Donghuang Taiyi?

In the depths of the Soup Valley, Jiang Chen was silently using his Boundless Void Divine Ability, isolating himself from the surrounding void to prevent being affected by the dusk qi.

After all, this dusk qi is the Supreme Divine Power left by Donghuang Taiyi, so powerful that it could threaten a Quasi-Saint.

Jiang Chen was merely at the level of an Innate Dao Sovereign. Staying in such an environment for an extended period would inevitably lead to the decay of his original source.

"Dongwang’s original source should be at the core of the Soup Valley." After carefully observing the surrounding environment, Jiang Chen confirmed the direction and headed towards the core of the Soup Valley.

At this stage, Jiang Chen moved extremely slowly, careful with every step, fearing he might touch something he should not.

Under Jiang Chen’s feet, the ground covered by the sun’s qi was branded with mysterious patterns. These were the seals left by Donghuang Taiyi to suppress Dongwang’s original source.

Jiang Chen observed for a while and found that the primary function of these patterns was to isolate the void, preventing any outside spiritual energy from entering. Any spiritual energy generated within the Soup Valley would be absorbed by the patterns to enhance their power.

In addition, these patterns were consuming the power of Soup Valley, preventing it from providing enough strength to Dongwang’s original source to aid his resurrection.

The seal left by Donghuang Taiyi was of course filled with profound wisdom, with more than just these two functions. However, due to Jiang Chen’s limited realm, he could only discern these two.

Luckily, Jiang Chen possessed both the inheritance of Xihuang and Shangqing. The former was the supreme inheritance for understanding Tao, while the latter was the highest inheritance for array tactics.

Jiang Chen merged the two, achieving a high level of comprehension of Tao. Only then could he carefully bypass the patterns left by Donghuang Taiyi and gradually reach the depths of the Soup Valley.

"Is this Dongwang’s original source? It is indeed exceptionally profound and splendid!"

Jiang Chen looked up to see countless chains extending from the void in the depths of the Soup Valley, firmly trapping a brilliant sun within the void, immobilizing it.

This sun was Dongwang’s Innate Original Source, born from the Sun Star containing the supreme mysteries of the Sun’s Tao."

Without exaggeration, if a great transcendent attempted to refine this original source, they could at least forge a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure containing thirty-seven Innate Divine Prohibitions.

That’s how profound the original source of an Innate Deity is.

However, although refining Dongwang’s original source could yield a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, doing so would inevitably lead to Dongwang’s resurgence from death.

Donghuang Taiyi certainly knew the benefits of refining Dongwang’s original source, but he did not do it, presumably because he didn’t want Dongwang to resurrect.

As long as Dongwang’s original source remained, his Innate True Spirit couldn’t gather and was firmly bound inside Soup Valley, unable to leave. This way, Dongwang couldn’t resurrect.

But if Dongwang’s original source was destroyed, his True Spirit would leave Soup Valley without the binding of the original source, revive somewhere in the Prehistoric World, and bring Dongwang back from the dead.

Donghuang Taiyi didn’t want to see this, so he suppressed Dongwang’s original source deep in the Soup Valley, hiding it from the world and never providing a chance for rebirth.

Jiang Chen came to the Soup Valley with two objectives. Firstly, to free Dongwang’s original source and let it see the light of day again to aid Dongwang’s resurrection.

Secondly, if the first aim couldn’t be accomplished, he sought to destroy Dongwang’s original source somehow, allowing Dongwang’s Innate True Spirit to revive elsewhere.

These two goals were prioritized with the first being primary. Achieving it was the focus, only considering the second if the first was unachievable.

Having or lacking an original source meant completely different things for the resurrected Dongwang. If the original source remained, Dongwang’s strength wouldn’t decrease after his resurrection. At minimum, he would be at the Innate Dao Sovereign realm and might possibly even reach the Quasi-Saint realm.

But if he lost his original source, Dongwang would still maintain his realm after resurrection, but his power would be gone, leaving him with no choice but to reincarnate and start over.

The original source was of great significance to Dongwang."

Jiang Chen suspected that in his previous life, Dongwang’s decline in each reincarnation might’ve resulted from the loss of his original source. He was unable to fully display his previous aptitude due to the loss of his original source, leading to a less fortuitous following life.

Splish splash! Splish splash...

While Jiang Chen was contemplating, the chains before him suddenly vibrated violently, making a loud splashing sound.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw that Dongwang’s original source suddenly erupted with brilliant radiance, burning like the sun. It released boundless light and heat towards the chains, attempting to melt them.

At the same time, Jiang Chen noticed that the dusk qi previously contaminating Dongwang’s original source was instantly incinerated into ashes and completely dissipated as the original source erupted.

It was indeed the original source of an Innate Deity, possessing boundless divine abilities and profound mysteries. Even the Supreme Divine Power left by Donghuang Taiyi could hardly dampen its fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen felt half relieved. With the fighting spirit of Dongwang’s original source, it was undoubtedly easier to break the seal left by Donghuang Taiyi.

Splish splash! Splish splash...

At this moment, the chains were trembling even more violently, appearing perfectly straight as if carrying a tremendous pressure.

Only then did Jiang Chen notice that Dongwang’s original source was vibrating as if the Great Sun was about to rise and leave the Soup Valley for the outside world.
