Chapter 821: 635 Slow Down Time_2

As for the Dao Mirror, although it has the ability to reflect all things, it has not yet recovered to the state of an Innate Treasure and naturally cannot reflect the Power of a Saint.

Therefore, it temporarily cannot replicate these two immortal lights.

Sixty years are indeed very short, almost fleeting, not enough for Jiang Chen to fully comprehend the profound mysteries of these two immortal lights.

But now, time within the Dao Mirror has slowed down by three hundred and sixty-five times, which means Jiang Chen has the equivalent of twenty-one thousand nine hundred years to ponder these two great immortal lights, and suddenly time became ample.

For Jiang Chen, this is undoubtedly good news.

"More than twenty thousand years are enough for me to understand the mysteries of the two immortal lights. To think that the Dao Mirror still has such abilities, I have understood it too little. Perhaps it is even more mystical than a treasure created at the beginning of the world."

Looking at the Dao Mirror, Jiang Chen’s eyes were filled with wonder. Every time the Dao Mirror recovered, it brought him surprises.

Jiang Chen also wanted to fully understand the capabilities of the Dao Mirror, but unfortunately, the Dao Mirror hadn’t restored all its functions; many capabilities couldn’t be used, or were directly forgotten, not even known to itself, so it could only awaken corresponding powers through gradual restoration.

In such a situation, even if Jiang Chen wished to fully understand the Dao Mirror, it was impossible. He could only wait for it to recover and awaken its powers, and then he could start understanding it.

"Dao Mirror, oh Dao Mirror, I wonder what surprises you will bring me once you have recovered to an Innate Treasure..."

Jiang Chen had already found a way to restore the Dao Mirror to an Innate Treasure, even without the twenty-four Sea Pacifying God Pearls from Master Randeng’s hands.

The top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Myriad Images Pearl, held by the Flame Emperor and the Xing Tian Axe in Xing Tian’s hands, just by assimilating them, would be enough to elevate the Dao Mirror to the rank of an Innate Treasure.

Jiang Chen did not know how to obtain the Xing Tian Axe, but since the Emperor Lord had said he could get it, then he surely would.

Just like earlier, the Emperor Lord had said that the Sea Pacifying God Pearls were destined for him, and that if he came to the Eastern Sea, he would learn of it. Lo and behold, upon his arrival today, he had received the Sea Pacifying God Pearls. Although there had been some twists in the process, the outcome was as the Emperor Lord had said.

As for the Myriad Images Pearl, the Flame Emperor had already said it was saved for him, waiting only for him to achieve a great feat before bestowing the pearl upon him.

What constituted a great feat, Jiang Chen had not known before, but now he did. Currently, there were two major achievements laid out before him.

The first one involved the assault on the Beijulu Continent, defeating the Demon Clan to boost the prestige of the Human Race. Incidentally, it would also test the foundations of the Demon Clan, which was extremely important for the Human Race. Accomplishing this would be considered a great feat.

The second was the impending matter of the Earth Dao Country. If he could destroy the plans of the Mystic Sect in one fell swoop, that too would be considered a great feat for the Human Race.

To earn sufficient merit to exchange for the Myriad Images Pearl from the Flame Emperor, completing either of these major tasks should be enough. If one were not enough, then surely both would suffice.

"An assault on the Beijulu Continent? It seems it’s about time. The demons of the Three Realms appear formidable but are actually fragile. With the power of the Demon Soldiers from Gouchen Star, they could be easily defeated."

"Even if capturing them alive takes a bit longer, it shouldn’t be too long. At most three to five years, and the matter of the demons in the Three Realms should come to a conclusion."

"After that, only a period of preparation is needed before we can attack the Demon Clan of the Beijulu Continent. However, this battle must be swift and must conclude within ten years; otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it becomes for me."

"If it stretches out to thirty or forty years, when the matter of the Earth Dao Country erupts, then having both issues at once will cause me much trouble."

For Jiang Chen, time was indeed a bit tight. The sequence of events made what was originally a very probable success gradually less certain.

"My head is killing me!"

Jiang Chen had a headache. If he had known what would happen today back when he was on Gouchen Star, he wouldn’t have acted so hastily to test the Demon Clan; instead, he would have waited patiently until the issues with the Earth Dao Country were resolved before making his move.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now. What was done was done, and he could only see it through to the end. An arrow shot has no way of returning, there was no room for Jiang Chen to regret anymore.

"The matter with the Demon Clan must be handled quickly. After all, the Human Race is powerful, and I can completely suppress the Demon Clan with sheer force. I reckon they wouldn’t dare to resist fiercely. If they do resist fiercely, that would be a great opportunity."

"At that time, dealing with the Demon Clan will no longer be my responsibility. The great Divine Transcendents of my race will take action, informing the Demon Clan of their place, what they should do, and what they shouldn’t do!"

Dealing with the Demon Clan was different from dealing with the Mystic Sect, as the strength of the Demon Clan was inferior to that of the Human Race. This was Jiang Chen’s advantage, which allowed him to pressure the Demon Clan with force. The Demon Clan could resist, but they couldn’t resist fiercely, or else they would enrage the Human Race, escalating the war.

Once the war escalated, the adversary of the Demon Clan would no longer be Jiang Chen but the great Divine Transcendents of the Human Race. This would bring even more trouble to the Demon Clan.

Having worked out a plan in his mind, Jiang Chen turned and headed back to Cang Mountain, where another big trouble—or perhaps an opportunity—was waiting for him.

"Emperor Lord, you’ve finally returned. If you had not come back, I would have had to return to the Dragon Clan and mobilize the aquatic army," said the East Sea Dragon King anxiously as he approached Jiang Chen outside Cang Mountain.

By the look of him, his urgency was not a simple matter of jest; if Jiang Chen had delayed any longer, he might have truly gone back to the Dragon Palace to summon a large army.

The East Sea Dragon King’s impatience wasn’t without reason; the atmosphere in the Eastern Sea had become more and more oppressive by the day. Wisps of Sha Qi rose from the sea’s surface, causing the colors of the sky and earth to change and creating a gloomy atmosphere, as if a major calamity was imminent.

Especially in the depths of the Eastern Sea: in that deep abyss, numerous strong auras rose, creating boundless giant waves that rolled incessantly.

Roar roar roar roar...

Indistinct roars echoed between heaven and earth, carrying a fierce and formidable aura that made one uncontrollably bristle with fear upon hearing it.

They were the fierce beasts of the sea bottom. With Jiang Chen’s provocation, they had fully revived, becoming restless in the abyss, continuously accumulating power, ready to burst out of the sea bottom at any moment and ravage everything they saw.

The calamity of the fierce beasts in the Eastern Sea was about to erupt, with the Dragon Palace directly in its path. No wonder the East Sea Dragon King was in a hurry to return and deploy the aquatic army to suppress the turmoil. If he didn’t act, the chaos would escalate uncontrollably, and the first to suffer would be his Dragon Palace.

"Dragon King, don’t worry. It’s just a few fierce beasts, nothing to be afraid of. I have already checked; the strongest among the reawakened fierce beasts in the sea bottom abyss is only at the complete stage of a Taoist Master, and there are no Quasi-Saint level fierce beasts. Such strength is nothing to worry about; it’s still within my capability to handle," Jiang Chen reassured as he walked up to the old Dragon King.

This chaos with the fierce beasts didn’t even have a Quasi-Saint level beast awaken. On the scale of things, it was a minor disturbance. Even Jiang Chen could handle it with ease, not to mention the unfathomably strong Dragon Clan. It wouldn’t be an issue for any strong member of the Dragon Clan from the uttermost east to pacify this turmoil.

But this chaos was caused by Jiang Chen, so why should the Dragon Clan clean up after him? Whoever causes the trouble should solve it; that is common sense.

If this were not the case, and everyone followed suit, causing disturbances in the Eastern Sea, provoking the fierce beasts, and then expecting the Dragon Clan to handle the aftermath, what would become of it?

Therefore, such a precedent must not be set. Whoever causes the trouble remedy it. The Dragon Clan would step in only if it became absolutely unmanageable.

Jiang Chen knew the intentions of the Dragon Clan and could see the urgency on the face of the East Sea Dragon King was meant for him. But there was no help for it; after all, he really was the one who had caused the trouble. If not him, then who should take care of it?
