Chapter 737: Five Eight Five Revival of Tanggu

Dongwang Gong and Elder Red Cloud, one died for fame and the other for gain. If they had simply refused Hongjun Daizu’s offer back then, they wouldn’t have met their unfortunate ends today.

High above Heaven’s Court, Haotian saw that Queen Mother of the West had offered the dragon-headed cane, a smile spread across his face, and he repressed his desire to intervene.

Dongwang Gong and Jiang Chen were different. Dongwang Gong, being a destined Emperor of Heaven with the dragon-headed cane in his hand, indeed had the qualifications to compete for a divine throne.

But not Jiang Chen. In his hands, the dragon-headed cane was just a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure. Haotian naturally felt at ease about this.

Ultimately, the most important factor is that Jiang Chen was a junior. Haotian, as one of the apex Great Divine Transcendents in the Prehistoric World, had his pride. It was bearable to fear a peer, but fearing a junior, what kind of sense did that make?

"Now that it’s unavoidable for Dongwang Gong to return, trouble with the demon clan is imminent," someone commented.

"After his resurrection, how could Dongwang Gong let go of the demon clan? He will inevitably strike at the demons to avenge Taiyi’s past actions."

The sight of Queen Mother of the West offering the dragon-headed cane told other Great Divine Transcendents that Dongwang Gong’s return was inevitable. Hence, their gaze shifted from the Heaven Court to the direction of the Beijulu Continent.

There, the Ancient demon clan’s main camp resided. Almost all the heavenly remnants lived there, making them the primary targets for Dongwang Gong’s revenge upon his return.

Would Dongwang Gong not harbor hatred after being slain by Taiyi and sealed away for countless years? Upon his return, he would surely seek vengeance on Taiyi.

However, since Taiyi had perished, Dongwang Gong would set his sights on everything associated with Taiyi. The Great Sun and the demon clan would be his preferred targets.

Dongwang Gong was different from the human race. The human race, although they harbored deep hatred for the demon clan, feared an all-out counterattack from the demons due to their large numbers, hence they dared not exterminate the demon clan.

But Dongwang Gong was solitary and fearless of any retaliation from the demon clan. Even if the demon clan threw all their resources into a counterattack, they would not pose a threat to him.

So, after Dongwang Gong’s return, the demon clan would suffer the most. Who knows how Dongwang Gong would seek his revenge?

The Great Divine Transcendents were not surprised about Jiang Chen releasing Dongwang Gong’s original source. In fact, it felt only natural.

Jiang Chen harbored resentment towards Donghuang Taiyi. Releasing Dongwang Gong to hinder him was justifiable. That’s a normal course of action; not doing so would be seen as strange.

...

...

Boom!

Just as Jiang Chen put away the dragon-headed cane, preparing to enter the depths of the thermal valley for his final transformation, the astral dome shattered. An enormous hand that could cover the sky emerged, reaching for Dongwang Gong’s original source in mid-air.

Someone was making a move, trying to snatch Dongwang Gong’s original source!

"Scum, dare you!"

Just as this giant hand was about to descend, a mirror quietly appeared above Dongwang Gong’s original source, emitting a dim glow.

Immediately afterward, time started to rewind. The giant hand receded back into the sky, the shattered astral dome pieces flowed backward, and everything returned to its original state.

The mirror, one of the ten Innate Spiritual Treasures of the prehistoric world, the Kunlun Mirror, had the ability to reverse time. It was the paramount treasure of the Tao of Time. Moreover, this magic treasure was also the Queen Mother’s accompanying spiritual treasure.

The Queen Mother had made her move!

After the Kunlun Mirror made its appearance, the giant hand didn’t continue to exert force. It was unknown whether the hand had given up or remained in a location unknown to Jiang Chen, continuing to struggle with the Queen Mother.

"How bold, despite knowing how essential Dongwang Gong’s original source is to Queen Mother, the owner of that giant hand still dares to make a move. This either indicates animosity towards Dongwang Gong or towards the Queen Mother."

Jiang Chen didn’t know who the mastermind was nor did he wish to know, in any case, the struggle was too high-end, and it was not something he could interfere in.

Unexpectedly, the sky darkened a little. Jiang Chen looked up and noticed Dongwang Gong’s original source had been taken away by the Kunlun Mirror when he wasn’t aware. This also signified Dongwang Gong’s matter had come to an end.

Or rather, what happened next to Dongwang Gong would no longer concern Jiang Chen.

"Did Queen Mother carry out Dongwang Gong’s origin, intending to refine it herself or was it used to revive Dongwang Gong?"

Looking at the Kunlun Mirror in the sky, a bold idea suddenly came to Jiang Chen’s mind. Was the Queen Mother really intending to revive Dongwang Gong?

It was known that the Queen Mother was a primordial goddess born from the original source of supreme yin between heaven and earth. Dongwang Gong, on the other hand, was a primordial god born from the supreme yang original source between heaven and earth.

Both complemented each other. If the Queen Mother were to devour Dongwang Gong’s original source, her original source could undergo transformation, thereby advancing further to achieve the supreme Dao Fruit of Primordial Chaos.

Dual cultivation could yield such benefits, but the process was gradual and cyclical. There were hardly any advantages compared to directly devouring the other’s original source, which was more straightforward.

"Good heavens, what’s gotten into me recently? Have I become arrogant? Why am I daring to speculate about everyone? This is really sinful."

Suddenly, Jiang Chen annihilated all his thoughts, withdrawing his chaotic mind.

He found that he had indeed become extremely arrogant lately, first maliciously speculating about Daizu and now Queen Mother - truly audacious.

What business is it of his, what others intend to do? Hiding behind and gossiping about them constantly, what if he is sensed by them? Is it right for a great Divine Transcendent to have such wild thoughts?

Forcing himself to refrain from thinking about these affairs, Jiang Chen put away his dragon-head cane and turned to the place where Donghuang’s original source was previously sealed. Here, there were remnants of plenty of Innate Yang Origin Qi, besides that, the original source of the Soup Valley is also concentrated here.

Jiang Chen was only a step away from metamorphosing into an Innate God, and these original sources of Qi were the key to complete his final transformation.

Sinking his spirit, Jiang ran the Emperor Pan’s Heavenly Divine Great Dao Scripture, beginning to absorb the stray original Qi from Donghuang’s original source around him.

Because Jiang Chen had previously merged with Donghuang’s original source, these original Qi did not resist him at all. They were easily absorbed into his body and slowly refined.

At the same time, the Soup Valley, which is one of the top Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Prehistoric World, slowly came back to life after losing the suppression of the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell. It was gradually releasing threads of original Qi towards Jiang Chen’s body.

Boom!

Unprecedented changes have taken place within Jiang Chen. The original Qi trembled violently with countless mysterious runes emerging, radiating an astonishing Dao Rhyme.

Blood vessels, bones, true spirit...

Everything inside and outside of his body was undergoing a drastic transformation, a terrifying divinity was developing within him, propelling Jiang Chen to a higher level.

Gradually, a sacred light arose from Jiang Chen, supremely great, supremely divine, giving an endless sense of nobility.

The so-called Innate God is divine in the heavens and holy on the earth, born supreme, a cherished child of Heaven and Earth. Born with a share of Heaven and Earth’s fate, even without practice, the power within the body would become stronger over time.

The so-called injustices of the Heavenly Dao were most clearly demonstrated here. The Heavenly Dao was extremely preferential to Innate Gods. They were the cherished children bred by the Heavenly Earthly Origin. One could say that they were born as the masters of certain laws, and they inherently controlled the power of the Heavenly Earthly Origin.

As Jiang Chen’s transformation progressed, a mysterious fluctuation emanated from him and gradually resonated with Soup Valley. Then, the revival of Soup Valley became more intense. It began to tremble, and the Innate Supreme Yang Qi swept out, shattering Donghuang Taiyi’s arrangement left here.

Even the deep Han Yuan began to shrink at a visible speed under the impact of the Innate Supreme Yang Qi.

Boom!

Before long, the seal left by Donghuang Taiyi was completely shattered, and Soup Valley woke up fully. The terrifying fluctuation spread out and shocked the whole Three Realms.

At this moment, the creatures of the Three Realms were shocked to find that in the Eastern Sea, another sun appeared with endless radiance rising, blinding people.

This sun was naturally the Soup Valley. The fully recovered Soup Valley was even more powerful than Donghuang’s original source, and the Great Sun it turned into was even more dazzling and immense.

Upon a sudden glance, it was even larger than the sun in the sky. The entire Three Realms, and even the peripheral areas of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds that were relatively close to the Three Realms, saw this Great Sun transformed by Soup Valley.

The splendid light fell, giving people a warm feeling as if even life force was flourishing.

This was not an illusion. The light from Soup Valley contained the vitality of the newborn sun, and anyone exposed to it would benefit.

Some people didn’t show obvious signs only because they were too far away from Soup Valley. At this moment, the creatures near Soup Valley have begun to undergo drastic changes under the illumination of this light.

The first to change was the seawater around Soup Valley, which was constantly boiling with astounding spiritual rhyme nurturing in it, rising up brilliant radiance.

The seawater here was transforming into spiritual water, becoming extraordinary. As the saying goes, "When a man achieves Tao, his poultry and dogs rise to heaven" is not a falsehood, but a reality.

Wherever Cave Heaven Blessed Land exists, its surroundings are inevitably affected. The spiritual energy is rich and gives birth to a large number of spiritual herbs. The higher the level of this Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the greater the impact.

As one can see from Kunlun Mountain, even an ordinary stone on the mountain is considered a treasure in the cultivation world.

Although Soup Valley is not as good as Kunlun Mountain, it is not far off. It too belongs to the top Cave Heaven Blessed Land of the Prehistoric World. The reason why its wonders were not apparent before was due to the suppression by the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell.

At this moment, all the bonds are gone, and Soup Valley finally revealed the elegance belonging to the top Cave Heaven Blessed Land. The seawater around it boiled and turned from ordinary water into spiritual water.

The nearby sea creatures greatly benefitted too. The fish and shrimps obtained the Dao through it, developed spiritual wisdom, and started the path of dragon transformation.

Those sea creatures who have achieved cultivation are making consecutive breakthroughs under the illumination of the light of Soup Valley.

Today, the Eastern Sea aquatic creatures are hosting a grand ceremony. There were tens of True Dragons born, and countless aquatic creatures gained spiritual wisdom, making breakthroughs. In the future, the strength of the Eastern Sea aquatic creatures is bound to surge.

But at the center of Soup Valley, Jiang Chen unquestionably reaped the most benefits.
