Chapter 964: 711 bad hunch_2

The existence of the Ruined Land is to destroy, and what Jiang Chen cultivates is exactly the Dao of Destruction and Creation.

Therefore, having comprehended the power of the Ruined Land, he gained a deeper understanding of the Dao of Destruction, and both his realm and strength have improved substantially. Given some time to retreat and meditate, he would be able to breakthrough and become a Taoist Master of the Three Realms.

However, Jiang Chen is not yet ready to breakthrough. Unless he completely suppresses the demon arm in his Sea of Consciousness, he wouldn’t dare to attempt it.

"The demonic arm, Di Jun’s original source, although they are opportunities, they are also hidden dangers!"

Thinking back on his journey to the Ruined Land, Jiang Chen’s expression changed continuously. Although he had gained many opportunities there, many came with risks.

Take his Sea of Consciousness for instance, where two major hidden dangers resided: whether it be Di Jun’s original source or the demonic arm, any issue with either could bring immense trouble to Jiang Chen.

"While there’s still time, I must resolve these two troubles first."

With a thought, Jiang Chen released his Divine Thought and established a connection with the Sun Star in the starry sky, drawing brilliant starlight into his Sea of Consciousness.

Considering the different challenges, it was clear that Di Jun’s original source was easier to deal with compared to the demonic arm. Moreover, it shared the same origin with Jiang Chen, both deriving from the Sun Star, making the power of the Star Lord more effective in refining it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Brilliant sunlight cascaded from the firmament, like a silver river falling from the Nine Heavens, submerging the entire Human Race in a golden ocean.

As the Star Lord of the Sun Star, the sunlight Jiang Chen commanded was naturally different from others. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say, the sunlight he drew upon exceeded the combined amount gathered by all cultivators of the Prehistoric World who cultivated the Sun’s Dao.

This was the privilege of the Sun Star Lord, the ability to mobilize the power of the Sun at will.

At this moment, within and outside the Three Realms, any accomplished Immortal Person could see a golden waterfall cascading down from the Sun Star, majestically flowing into the void and disappearing from sight.

"Is it that serious?"

"Is the fortuity of the Human Race still inadequate, necessitating the power of the Sun Star?"

Witnessing this scene, many powerful beings speculated that Jiang Chen’s injuries might have worsened to the point where he had to draw upon the light from the Sun Star for healing.

At the same time, Jiang Xuan once again tore through the void, heading into the Chaos beyond the heavens, but this time his destination was not Fire Cloud Cave but Emperor Wa’s palace; he also planned to stop by Golden Turtle Island to deliver a letter to the Upper Qing Saints on behalf of Jiang Chen.

Since he received the inheritance of the Four Swords of Zhuxian in the Ruined Land, it was only natural for Jiang Chen to share with his mentor. Grateful for any kindness received, Jiang Chen never failed to repay his debts. The Upper Qing Saint had shown him great favor, and upon obtaining fortuitous opportunities related to him, he naturally wished to share them.

Jiang Xuan was precisely en route to Golden Turtle Island for this reason, and as for what the others might think or speculate, that was of no concern to Jiang Chen.

In just a day or two, Jiang Xuan had visited both Emperor Wa’s palace and Shangqing Palace. No one knew what Jiang Xuan had said, but people were only aware that shortly after he left the Shangqing Palace, the gods of the Jiejiao Sect suddenly appeared, using their Divine Abilities to draw the Cycle’s starlight, recklessly sprinkling it over the Human Race’s Ancestral Land.

For a time, starlight showered down like rain, submerging the Human Race’s Ancestral Land. This spectacle made the experts of myriad races green with envy. Starlight, being the essence of Heaven and Earth, allowed one to cultivate in such an environment a day’s worth equivalent of several hundred years.

If this were to continue for a sufficient length of time, who knows how many experts it could birth. The Human Race had indeed benefited from Jiang Chen’s influence, gaining a substantial advantage.

After all, it was obvious to everyone that the actions of the Jiejiao Sect’s gods were meant to assist Jiang Chen in his healing. When a brother in the sect was in trouble, how could the disciples of Jiejiao turn a blind eye? If they were the type to stand idly by, they would not have been immortalized on the Investiture of the Gods list in the past.

"Alas, what a pity, if all that starlight had fallen upon our race, our strength would’ve surely skyrocketed within a short period, and we would’ve seen the rise of a large number of experts," lamented the experts of the myriad races upon seeing this, their envy unabated. After all, they were not Jiang Chen and could not ask for aid from the gods of Jiejiao.

"We can’t wait any longer, we must act immediately."

"With two Saints intervening, even if Jiang Chen is gravely injured, he can recover within a hundred years. If we don’t act now, it will be too late. Missing this opportunity, who knows how long we will have to wait."

Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect felt a sense of foreboding and urged their companions to act quickly.

For a moment, in the deep void of the mysterious and unknowable place, a large number of Mystic Sect experts gathered, ceaselessly tracing in the void, drawing mysterious array patterns, seemingly setting up an array.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was still in seclusion, with endless starlight converging inside his body, mingling with the Human Path Flood, submerging Di Jun’s Original Source, and constantly scouring it.

The will of all beings, the will of all stars, this is the greatest power in the world, even though the essence of Di Jun’s Original Source is extremely high, belonging to the Primordial Chaos Stage power, it is still not the opponent in front of such vastness.

Soon, the will of Di Jun contained within the Original Source was purged by the combined forces of the will of all beings and the will of all stars, gradually turning into nothingness, and being replaced by the will of Jiang Chen.

It took just one or two months for the mass of Di Jun’s Original Source to be filled with the will of Jiang Chen, and the aura it emitted gradually became Jiang Chen’s aura.

Indeed, this mass of Di Jun’s Original Source was undergoing a transformation, shifting entirely toward Jiang Chen, transforming into his own Original Source.

Di Jun’s comprehensions of the Great Dao suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen’s mind, absorbed by him, becoming his foundation.

Jiang Chen’s cultivation was increasing, his power surging, his understanding of Heaven and Earth deepening, with something that seemed like a Great Sun appearing behind him, constantly rotating, as if expounding on the Dao of the Great Sun’s Limitlessness.

Boom rumble!

Jiang Chen’s spirit was pulsing, transforming into a whiff of clear qi hovering over his head, rapidly rotating, condensing into a mass, resembling a seed about to take root, sprout, and bloom.

A breakthrough was imminent!

As Di Jun’s Original Source was being refined by Jiang Chen, his realm began to soar, heading for the final stage of the Innate Dao Sovereign. However, how could Jiang Chen break through without having refined the Demon God’s arm?

"Supress!"

A thought crossed his mind, and Jiang Chen mobilized the Creation Green Lotus in his Sea of Consciousness, directly suppressing his spirit, forcefully restraining the urge to break through.

At the same time, the roots of the Creation Green Lotus stretched out, taking root upon Di Jun’s Original Source, swiftly devouring the power it contained.

This was the Original Source of Di Jun, and even after refining it, Jiang Chen dared not use it directly, fearful of any traps Di Jun might have left within, hence he first let the Creation Green Lotus filter through it, converting it into the power of Creation before absorption.

To become the Tiandi, one’s heart must certainly be tainted; one can never be too careful!

"Demon God’s arm, let’s see to whom you truly belong."

Having dealt with Di Jun’s Original Source, Jiang Chen’s thoughts shifted as he looked towards another area within his Sea of Consciousness, where the Demon God’s arm was located.

Although Jiang Chen had acquired the Demon God’s arm for quite some time, due to various reasons, he had not yet had the chance to closely examine it and was still unaware that it belonged to that Chaos Demigod.

Even Saints have their strengths and weaknesses, let alone Chaos Demigods. Among the three thousand Chaos Demigods, naturally, there were strong and weak ones. The strongest among them had combat powers even close to that of Pangu Great God. The weakest were just at the Primordial Chaos Stage, not much different from the current Saints.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s heart was undoubtedly torn; he hoped that the owner of the Demon God’s arm was powerful, and yet, he hoped it was not too powerful.

The stronger the owner, the more powerful the force contained in the Demon God’s arm would be, but at the same time, the difficulty of refining it would also be greater, and if not handled properly, what was an opportunity could turn into a disaster.

"Hmm? What’s going on, why is my brow pulsing? Is something bad about to happen?"

The moment Jiang Chen looked towards the Demon God’s arm, his brow suddenly began to throb violently, as if some major event was about to unfold.

Initially, Jiang Chen thought this was because the Demon God’s arm was too strong, bringing him unknown dangers, but immediately, he realized something was off. Because the Human King Dao Fruit within his Sea of Consciousness also began to throb.
