Chapter 924: Six Nine Six Harvest_2

These six individuals instantly became the finest in the Prehistoric World, with few who could rival them. Even the Sanqing, as proud as they were, did not dare to claim they were superior to the likes of Di Jun Taiyi and others.

"Alas, our ancestor, you have been too modest."

Jiang Chen sighed, feeling that Jiang Xuan really was too modest. Kunpeng had the merit of establishing the Heaven Court, but Jiang Xuan was no less remarkable. The Martial Dao, as it existed in his time, was refined by him and passed down to future generations.

In other words, Jiang Xuan was the progenitor of martial arts, the master of countless warriors. His prestige among the Human Race was even greater than Jiang Chen’s. At this moment, if Jiang Xuan were to call to arms, warriors from all over would undoubtedly answer in droves and elevate him to a supreme position.

Bear in mind, practically all of the Human Race’s warriors now are his disciples and their descendants.

Jiang Xuan, who carries the Taoist Master’s authority of the Heavenly Dao, how could he dare compete with Da Yu for the title of Human Sovereign without a few tricks up his sleeve?

The Martial Dao of his era was the very foundation of his claim to the throne!

"Martial Dao alone is insufficient; it’s only transmitted within the Human Race and has not spread beyond. How can it compare to the merit of establishing Heaven Court?"

"Moreover, you underestimate the merit of establishing the Heaven Court. It’s a feat of establishing order for Heaven and Earth, surpassing even what Mother Earth did with reincarnation, and can be regarded as a second act of pioneering sky and earth."

"Do you think Di Jun Taiyi are so confident that they will certainly return because they have the merit of establishing Heaven Court? As long as the Heaven Court stands, their fate will not be severed, and they are destined to return in the future, not even a Saint could stop them."

Having seen through Jiang Chen’s thoughts, Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

The young have not lived through that era and do not know the significance of the appearance of Heaven Court. It was a groundbreaking feat, the emergence of Heaven Court signaling a complete order in Heaven and Earth.

To establish such an order was the greatest merit of Di Jun and the others.

Before Heaven Court emerged, the entire Chaos World was disordered, without any semblance of order.

All the clans were shrouded in ignorance, knowing neither direction nor the passage of time. Heaven and Earth were also chaotic, without seasons, without day and night...

It was only after Di Jun and others established the Heaven Court, operated the Cycle of the stars, divided the seasons, and laid down order for Heaven and Earth that there came directions, spring, summer, autumn, winter, night, and day...

The concept of time and space was defined by the Heaven Court. The achievements of Di Jun Taiyi last through the ages, comparable to forging sky and earth twice over, naturally hard to be utterly extinguished.

Tiandi is not a title one can simply assume with strength alone; it requires abilities beyond the ordinary. Di Jun’s capability lies in establishing order for the Prehistoric World, and because of that, the Heavenly Gods wholeheartedly accepted him as Tiandi, the nominal master of Heaven and Earth.

"Dividing day and night, defining the three talents, delineating the seasons, and re-establishing the order of Heaven and Earth, Di Jun’s abilities are indeed astonishing, worthy of the name of Tiandi. Yet, Jiang Chen’s life is not inferior to anyone and certainly won’t lose to him."

In the Prehistoric World, few dare claim that they could surpass Di Jun, but evidently, Jiang Chen is not among them. He dares to say he is not weaker than Di Jun, perhaps even greater.

If Di Jun established Heaven Court as a second act of pioneering sky and earth, then when he reconstructs the Chaos World and forges anew the Cycle of Stars and Great Ancient Nine Heavens, it will be a third act of pioneering sky and earth, and he does not believe he cannot surpass Di Jun.

"Countless talented individuals exist in the Prehistoric World, but in the end, it was Di Jun who became Tiandi, which says a lot. Trying to surpass him will be difficult..."

It wasn’t that Jiang Xuan looked down upon Jiang Chen, but Di Jun’s achievements were so high, commanding reverence. Even a powerful being like Tiandi Fuxi was slightly inferior, otherwise he would have been the one to become Tiandi Fuxi instead of Tiandi Di Jun back then.

"Haha, the future is shaped by our actions. Who can truly be sure of what’s to come?"

"Let’s just wait and see, ancestor!"

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, offering no explanation. In matters like this, actions would always speak louder than words.

"Ancestor, there are quite a lot of treasures on this nine-tiered altar. It seems that even though the Demon Clan has declined, their underlying foundation remains awe-inspiring."

Changing the subject, Jiang Chen gestured toward the nine-tiered altar before them and said.

There, atop the nine-tiered altar, were nine celestial lamps of Innate Spiritual Treasure, each one of the lowest grade, totaling eighty-one in all. Clearly a set of magic treasures, when combined, their power was comparable to that of a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Beyond the celestial lamps, at the edge of the nine-tiered altar, hung strings of bells, likewise numbering eighty-one and also the lowest grade of Innate Spiritual Treasures. These too were a set, and when combined, they were equivalent to a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

In addition to these two sets of Innate Spiritual Treasures, there were hundreds of other Innate Spiritual Treasures scattered across the altar. Though the majority were of mid to low grade, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.

One must understand that the Demon Clan of today was no longer the formidable force that once shook Heaven and Earth, having declined for many years. Yet even so, they could still produce over a hundred ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasures and two sets of top-tier ones, demonstrating without a doubt the profound foundation of the Prehistoric World rulers at this moment.

At this time, Jiang Chen had a profound understanding of the saying, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

"Elders, please look and see if there is any treasure you need," said Jiang Chen, inviting the seniors behind him to step forward and each choose an Innate Spiritual Treasure. With the abundance of Innate Spiritual Treasures here, there should be some left over even if each of the Human Race Taoist Masters took one.

The Human Race Taoist Masters had contributed tremendously to the attack on the Demon Clan, having been seriously wounded by a punch from Kunpeng. Naturally, Jiang Chen could not let their efforts go without reward. Now that they had discovered a sufficient number of Innate Spiritual Treasures, he was certainly going to share them with everyone.

"To gain an Innate Spiritual Treasure is to make this attack on the Demon Clan not in vain," said the Human Race Taoist Masters, with no deference as they stepped forward to each take an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

During the process, there was no conflict; these were not high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and everyone was old friends. There was no need to quarrel over a few mid to low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. It was not worth it.

"Let’s not touch this altar for now; after I report to the Three Emperors, we’ll make further plans," said Jiang Xuan, telling Jiang Chen not to disturb the nine-tiered altar after the Human Race Taoist Masters had taken the Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Considering that Di Jun Taiyi was involved, this nine-tiered altar was by no means as simple as it appeared. To rashly destroy it could trigger unknown dangers. It would be best to have the Three Emperors examine it before making any plans.

"Of course!" Jiang Chen nodded in agreement, knowing the importance of the situation. His own strength was far too weak for now. Many things were beyond his current reach, like this nine-tiered altar, which was related to Chaos Strongmen. If he rashly interfered and fell into a trap, the trouble would be significant.

"Alas, I thought that by eliminating the Demon Clan, I could give the Human Race a break, but I hadn’t anticipated that the problems would not only remain unsolved but would become even greater after their defeat," Jiang Chen sighed. Far from resolving the issues, the extermination of the demons had only made things more complicated, bringing the giant fish, Kunpeng, into the picture.

To know that dealing with Kunpeng was much more difficult than handling the ten great Demon Gods.

"It’s not without gain—at least we’ve confirmed Kunpeng’s association with the Demon Clan. The exposure of their relationship is better than it lurking in the shadows. Knowing this news, we can be more cautious."

"Moreover, the two sets of top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures, along with hundreds of ordinary ones, these gains are not too few. How many top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures does the entire Human Race have in comparison?"

Jiang Xuan spoke, content with the haul from this incident. Not to mention the discovery of the fact that the ancestral Kunpeng was lurking in the dark and hostile to the Human Race; just these Innate Spiritual Treasures alone were comforting enough.

The Human Race was not as rich as the Demon Clan. Innate Spiritual Treasures were not common merchandise but rare commodities, strategic resources. Each additional one was cause for celebration, not to mention the sudden increase by the hundreds.

Moreover, the greatest harvest from this campaign against the demons was not these, but Jiang Chen!

With the Demon Clan gone, it was time for him to be crowned a king!

"Alas, Heaven and Earth are still too barren; as the central figure of Heaven and Earth, our Human Race lacks in many aspects and is far inferior to the Witch and demon two clans," Jiang Chen sighed, his resolve to rebuild the Prehistoric World firmer than ever.
