Chapter 969: 713 Xuanyuan three tripods_2

"Human King, step back. In honor of Taoist Shangqing, we will not harm you. Furthermore, if the plans for the Earth Dao Country succeed, you could become the Immortal Venerate, the Immortal Emperor, and have control over the entire Immortal Dao."

In the unknown void, a Great Divine Transcendent spoke, offering Jiang Chen significant benefits in the hope that he would step back and no longer interfere.

Not to mention that Jiang Chen’s master is the Mystic Sect Saint, Taoist Shangqing, even his act of destroying Spiritual Mountain and breaching the Buddhist door were towering accomplishments for the Mystic Sect, and just for that, the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents couldn’t bear to harm him harshly.

Jiang Chen was a meritorious figure. If a Great Divine Transcendent from the Mystic Sect dared to kill him, they would immediately suffer backlash from the Mystic Sect’s fate. Although it wouldn’t hurt their foundation, they would likely lose any chance of pursuing the path of Primordial Chaos in this life.

The cost was too great, equivalent to completely sacrificing their future, so none of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents dared to harbor any thought of killing Jiang Chen. They could injure him, but not kill him.

At this moment, the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents were secretly relieved. Thankfully, Jiang Chen had only breached Spiritual Mountain and not destroyed the Buddhist door, thereby returning its fate to the Mystic Sect.

If that had truly been the case, it wouldn’t just be about harming or killing Jiang Chen—none would be able to do so. As long as they dared to make a move against him, they would immediately suffer backlash from the Sect’s fate and lose half their lives.

With reservations in their hearts, the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents did not wish to take action against Jiang Chen. Therefore, to keep Jiang Chen out of the affair, they proposed extremely generous conditions. They even directly offered him the position of master of the Immortal Dao.

The intention of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents was simple: as long as Jiang Chen remained neutral, they would recommend him as Immortal Emperor. What did this mean? It meant that the ultimate fruits of the Mystic Sect’s plan were being directly offered to Jiang Chen.

He wouldn’t have to do anything but would gain the final fruits and the greatest benefits.

The conditions offered by the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents to Jiang Chen were incredibly generous. Yet, even so, Jiang Chen still refused.

"Elders flatter me. It’s just a pity that I am rather stubborn and prefer to earn what I want through my own efforts. As for things given by others, I don’t feel at ease accepting them and dare not take them."

Although Jiang Chen’s face wore a smile, his feet did not stop. He quickly moved towards the void where the mysterious person was.

Where in the world is there a free lunch? If Jiang Chen wanted to become Immortal Emperor, he would do so by his own abilities, not by relying on charity from others.

The supreme position is fought for. Relying on charity from others would ultimately make one subject to their control. The most classic examples are Haotian and Di Jun.

Di Jun earned his position as Tiandi, so his dignity even surpasses the Saints’. Haotian’s Tiandi title was granted by the Taoist Ancestors, so what now? He’s nearly become a puppet instead of being above the Saints.

The lessons of the past are right before one’s eyes; Jiang Chen would do well to be cautious!

...

"Stubborn fool!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen decisively rejected the substantial offer they had made, that concealed Great Divine Transcendent became furious and raised his hand, ready to strike at Jiang Chen.

But just then, from the chaos beyond the heavens, a great light shined forth. An endless tide of holy light appeared, manifesting in the form of a woman with the body of a snake below her waist, materializing above the River of Destiny.

It was Empress Nuwa!

The greatest patron of the Human Race had arrived.

"Fellow daoists, my patience has its limits. I can refrain from intervening in this matter, but similarly, no Great Divine Transcendent may interfere either."

"If you truly cannot restrain yourselves, then come seek me out in the chaos beyond the heavens, and I shall be your adversary."

Empress Nuwa spoke gently, her face expressionless, but her words were filled with towering rage.

As a Saint who couldn’t even protect her own created race, Empress Nuwa felt powerless, and she was also filled with boundless anger toward those Great Divine Transcendents daring to harm the Human Race.

If she were the only Saint in this world, Empress Nuwa would have no hesitation—she would immediately brandish the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and kill all those Great Divine Transcendents.

Not sparing a single one!

"Taoist Nuwa jokes. Yu Dou is a meritorious figure of the Mystic Sect; why would we strike against him?"

The Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendent chuckled and discreetly withdrew his hand.

From Taoist Nuwa’s words, he had learned her bottom line. It was okay to take action against the Human Race, but not for a Great Divine Transcendent to do so—that was the bottom line. To defy it would provoke Empress Nuwa’s intervention.

And then, being struck dead by the Heaven and Earth Cauldron would be their own doing, and they could blame no one else.

Had it not been a matter of life and death, no Great Divine Transcendent would dare to directly and forcefully confront a Saint. Upon hearing Empress Nuwa’s words, this Great Divine Transcendent immediately cowered and dared not lay a hand on Jiang Chen.

But his reluctance to act did not mean this matter could simply be put to rest. Empress Nuwa had stated that Great Divine Transcendents were not to intervene, which implied that beings below the level of Great Divine Transcendents were permitted to act. And what Mystic Sect had in abundance were Quasi-Saint masters.

In an instant, a master who had severed the Three Corpses and whose strength had reached the pinnacle of a Quasi-Saint jumped out and stood in front of Jiang Chen.

"Human King, halt and listen to this poor Taoist’s words."

This Taoist had the bearing of an immortal, dressed in a Yin and Yang Taoist robe, wearing a jade crown, with a face as fine as jade, and an aura of Innate Tao pervading his body. It was clear at a glance that he was a Mystic Sect’s high truth, a giant of the Immortal Dao.

At any other time, Jiang Chen might have indulged him in an exchange of wits and conversed for a while, but now, with the mysterious person beginning the transmigration, he did not want to waste time. Jiang Chen could ill-afford to pay him any heed.

Without any intention of speaking with this person, Jiang Chen shook the Innate Universe Map on his person and raised his hand to strike at him.

Swish~~

The moment Jiang Chen lifted his hand, the sun, moon, and stars, mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning... the myriad wonders of the universe successively emerged in the palm of his hand, as though he was gripping the entirety of Heaven and Earth in that single hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When his hand came down, it was as if the entire Heaven and Earth were being pressed down, possessing infinite might; even the River of Destiny trembled as if it could not contain this power.

Bearing two Dao Fruits, Jiang Chen’s strength was truly at the complete pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint level, on par with this person. When he took action, he also utilized the power of a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, so one could imagine its potency.

The Innate Universe Map was originally a high-grade spiritual treasure, but after devouring several fragments of the Duotian Shenfan in the Ruined Land, it underwent a metamorphosis and advanced into a top-grade Innate Universe Map, with its might surpassing that of the past.

"What?"

Initially, this Quasi-Saint of Mystic Sect had not taken Jiang Chen, this junior, seriously but the moment that palm struck, the Quasi-Saint suddenly experienced a surge of danger. His Innate True Spirit shook wildly, and his face revealed a look of horror.

"Not good!"

Knowing that his opponent’s move was too powerful and fearing that it might seriously injure him, the Quasi-Saint did not dare to take it head-on and hastily sidestepped to avoid it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiang Chen’s attempt missed, striking the empty space, as if Heaven and Earth had exploded, unleashing waves of destruction, and the surrounding void immediately turned into nothingness.

An enigmatic force descended, safeguarding the entire River of Destiny, thus preventing its fate from being unsettled.

After the failed strike, Jiang Chen did not make another move, but simply cast a cold glance at the Quasi-Saint before continuing on his way forward.

"Don’t go!"

Having been frightened off by a junior, the Quasi-Saint found his dignity compromised and intended to give chase.

But it was just then, Jiang Xuan’s figure suddenly appeared, intercepting between the two.

"Jiang Chen, you go ahead. Leave this Taoist master to me to deal with. I will hold him off. You go and do what you must."

The Chengtian Sword appeared in Jiang Xuan’s hand at some point, and his aura underwent a swift transformation. A boundless sense of invincibility arose, as if by holding that sword, he grasped the whole of Heaven and Earth.

Chengtian, to uphold the Heavenly Will, his will, is the Heavenly Will, naturally invincible!

"Jiang Chengtian, the Ancient Martial Ancestor!"

Facing Jiang Xuan, the Quasi-Saint from Mystic Sect restrained his previous disdain.

Jiang Xuan, as the Taoist Master of the Human Race who upholds the Heavenly Will, redefined the Martial Dao at the beginning of antiquity and the end of ancient times, allowing warriors to achieve longevity.

This person was an exceptional peerless hero who had established a new path, and no amount of esteem was too much. Even though the Quasi-Saint of Mystic Sect had lived for countless years, he dare not be careless in front of him, and treated him with cautious respect.

"Human King, this poor Taoist has been waiting for you for a long time."

Not many steps had Jiang Chen taken when another Quasi-Saint from Mystic Sect leaped out.
