Chapter 968: 713 Xuanyuan three tripods

"Who is this person?"

In Jiang Chen’s eyes, the Innate Eight Diagrams kept spinning, trying to calculate this person’s true identity.

Regrettably, even the profound Innate Eight Diagrams were unable to penetrate this person’s background; the sight was wholly obscured by dazzling purple light, revealing nothing.

The Emperor’s Qi of the Human King annihilated all Divine Abilities and shielded all heavenly secrets.

Boom!

Amidst Jiang Chen’s puzzlement, that strand of ember-like light had already penetrated the multiple blockades and entered the person’s body directly.

In an instant, the mysterious person’s body roiled with purple Qi, swirling like rising flames, sweeping outward.

Amidst the brilliant purple Qi, figures of three tripods emerged from within the mysterious person, each expanding to a size of nine zhang, suspended in the air. Their dazzling divine light soared, emanating boundless imperial might.

"Imperial Tripods!"

The moment he saw these three tripods, Jiang Chen immediately guessed that they were the treasures of the Human Emperor found by this mysterious person, and that the Emperor’s Qi on this person’s body originated from these treasures.

A tripod is not only a ceremonial vessel but also a Dao-Bearing artifact, symbolizing the stability of Heaven and Earth.

The Human Race had eight Human Emperors and one quasi-Human Emperor. When they ruled over the Human Race, it seemed that each of them had forged great tripods to suppress their fate.

Because the tripod is such a common artifact, and the treasures related to the Human Emperors are numerous, some Human Emperors forged more than one Imperial Tripod. Those tripods made by the hands of a Human Emperor can be called Human Emperor treasures.

Such Imperial Tripods are aplenty in the Jiang Family.

Of course, though there are many Imperial Tripods, they vary in strength. These three tripods are clearly a set of Magic Treasures, and the Emperor Qi they contain is exceedingly vast, even surpassing the might of the Sun God’s staff from the past.

Even Jiang Chen felt that the level of these three tripods was above the Nine Tripods!

Although King Yu was not a Human Emperor, there was actually little difference between him and an Emperor. The Nine Tripods he forged were genuine treasures of the Human Emperor—like the Xuanyuan Sword, they were symbols of the Human Race.

While there are many Human Emperor treasures in the form of tripods, there are few stronger than the Nine Tripods. The Flame Emperor’s Shennong Ding is one of them; taken on its own, it would undoubtedly surpass the Nine Tripods.

However, these three tripods controlled by the mysterious person could not possibly be the Shennong Ding; Jiang Chen was not so ignorant as to not recognize his own family’s supreme treasure.

"Xuanyuan three tripods!"

A thought struck him, and Jiang Chen remembered the origin of these three tripods: they were the Heaven, Earth, and Man tripods forged by the Xuanyuan Human Emperor. They were ceremonial vessels used for sacrifices to heaven during the Human Emperor era. According to the legends of the Human Race, the reason King Yu forged the Nine Tripods was to follow the precedent of the Xuanyuan Human Emperor’s tripod creation.

In a sense, the Heaven, Earth, and Man tripods were the predecessors of the Nine Tripods, and their power was naturally no less formidable.

This was a treasure of the Human Emperor.

"Could it be the Heaven, Earth, and Man tripods? Weren’t these treasures lost during the wars? How could they have fallen into the hands of the Mystic Sect?"

Jiang Chen found it difficult to believe. During the era of the Five Emperors, the Human Race had erupted into a massive war with many other races. Although the Human Race ultimately triumphed, numerous treasures were lost because of the war.

The three tripods were among the many treasures lost by the Human Race. If they had not been lost, King Yu would have assimilated them into the Nine Tripods when forging them, thereby enhancing their power.

"It seems, during the Five Emperors era, the chaos on the Prehistoric World was not just a simple struggle; it involved the machinations of experts from the Mystic Sect," Jiang Chen deduced the whole picture from the incident of the three tripods falling into the hands of the Mystic Sect.

In the era of the Five Emperors, especially after the reign of Zhuan Xu, the Prehistoric World frequently experienced turmoil, with major demons causing trouble here or foreign races causing chaos there. As a result, each succession of Human Emperors had to expend great effort to suppress the disturbances.

As the Human Race strove to quell the unrest, they utilized valuable treasures frequently. Despite emerging victorious more often than not, they also lost many treasures. Previously, Jiang Chen believed that the other races, unwilling for the Human Race to become the main player of Heaven and Earth, repeatedly targeted the Human Race.

Now it seemed that the other races’ attacks might not have occurred without the support of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect.

The plotting of the Mystic Sect against the Human Race started in the Great Ancient era when the Human Race was still weak. Therefore, it was no surprise to Jiang Chen what they schemed during the Human Race’s most powerful period in the Distant Ancient Era.

"Hmph, how could the treasures of my Human Race fall into the hands of others?"

With a cold snort, Jiang Chen leaped up and charged towards the direction of the mysterious person.

With the possession of the Heaven, Earth, and Man tripods, even if this mysterious person reincarnated as a beggar, they could become an emperor. Not to mention reincarnating into the royal family, becoming an emperor was almost a certainty, and even becoming a born Human King was not out of the realm of possibility.

The three tripods were ultimately special, being treasures left by the Human Emperor and sharing the same origin as the Nine Tripods. Thus, this person, carrying the three tripods into reincarnation within the Human Race, had a high probability of resonating with the Nine Tripods and gaining their support.

The Nine Tripods of King Yu, coupled with the Xuanyuan three tripods, and the support of two Human Emperors, would it be difficult for someone to become the Human King? Not at all!

No wonder the reaction of the Human Race ember was so intense; if he were indeed allowed to reincarnate into the Human Race, that would indeed shake the foundation of the Human Race.

...

......

"Have I been discovered?"

"The current Human King is indeed no ordinary individual; I thought I could hide this from him."

"However, what can Jiang Chen do even if he has discovered it? How much of your power can you, grievously wounded, exert?"

Jiang Chen’s actions immediately drew the attention of many great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, aware that he had discovered their plot.

But so what? Not even the Jiang Chen at his peak was taken seriously by them, let alone Jiang Chen in his injured state.
