Chapter 331: Borrowing Treasures
“The old ancestor actually made such a decision?”
In the Eastern region of the demons’ territory, the Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty was overwhelmed with astonishment.
Just now, the old ancestor had sent him a message and decided not to covet Chen Chen anymore and instead got ready to come out of seclusion to face the Thunder Tribulation with all his might. That seemed unbelievable to him.
After thinking about it, he confirmed it again and soon got an affirmative answer from the old ancestor.
However, the old ancestor also had a request for him to prepare more treasure in case he needed them during his tribulation.
The Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty didn’t hesitate at all because they naturally had an abundant amount of tribulation treasures. However, the ancestor couldn’t pull through and failed the Ascension Tribulation.
Now that he was going through yet another treasure, relying solely on the tribulation treasures of the Great Jing Dynasty was obviously not going to be enough.
He had to think of more solutions for that matter.
…
Half a day later, Chen Chen returned to the State of Jin.
Under the orders of the emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty, eight divine sense phantoms descended on the Divine Ape Mountain in the Eastern region.
The Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty remained composed and said indifferently, “The ancestor has already said that he will stop making things hard for Chen Chen.”
Hearing these words, the clan masters of the four major clans were full of disbelief.
They were now aware that Chen Chen was basically in a situation where as long as he did not have a death wish and does something that will put him in danger, nothing will happen to him.
At such a juncture, the Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty would seem rather suspicious for saying those words and it seemed like he was intending to lure Chen Chen out before attacking him.
The emperors of the other three dynasties were silent, but regardless, they were all on the side of the Great Jing Dynasty.
The four imperial dynasties were united because only by standing together, can they have an equal say as the four major clans.
“Believe it or not, that’s the ancestor’s stand anyway. Chen Chen likes hiding in the Boundless Sea, and there’s nothing we can do about that. I’m saying these to you just for the sake of informing you of the ancestor’s attitude.”
The Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty said with an indifferent expression on his face.
However, he soon spoke in a different tone. “The ancestor is going to come out of seclusion in a few days, and he should be able to strike once more before the Great Ascension Tribulation arrives.” He is going to take advantage of this opportunity to strike the demon race hard and kill a late stage Void Refinement Demon Venerable, to pave the way for the future of the human race.”
Hearing these words, the clan masters of the four major clans were shocked. Even the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan who had always been hostile to the emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty, looked a little mellower now.
At the end of the day, Bai Dongsheng was still only a human cultivator who was about to ascend soon. He would definitely think of contributing to the human race.
Although the four great dynasties were mercenary and after benefits, they were still forces of the human race after all.
With that thought in mind, the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan said softly, “In this case, I shall thank the ancestor on behalf of the human race.”
Although his tone was cold and indifferent, his words were an expression of his respect.
The emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty shook his head and said solemnly, “You don’t need to thank him. After all, we are all of the human race, and it is normal for the old ancestor to have such intentions as he is nearing his Immortal Ascension. If we are in his situation, we would likely have made the same decision too.”
“But, I’d like to say something for the ancestor and his elders. Back then, he failed to transcend the Ascension Tribulation with the help of the tribulation treasures of the Great Jing Dynasty, and now, his strength hasn’t improved that significantly.”
“Once he transcends the tribulation again, there’s an 80% chance that he’s going to end up failing. When he does, his soul will inevitably perish. So, I would like to borrow some tribulation treasures from you all for the old ancestor, to help him succeed in his ascension.”
As soon as he said that, the clan masters of the four major clans and the emperors of the other three imperial dynasties fell into hesitation and began contemplating.
All tribulation treasures were supreme treasures of their clans, which usually couldn’t be lent to others because the treasures were facing the risk of getting destroyed in the Thunder Tribulation.
It’s fine if the people of their clan damaged the treasures because they would at most admit that they were unlucky.
However, if they lent it to others and others damaged it, it would be hard to explain.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, the emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty suddenly sneered.
“The ancestor of my clan is nearing his Immortal Ascension, and yet, he’s still thinking of slaying the demons. Are you guys not willing to even lend him some treasures?”
After saying that, the Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty turned around and prepared to leave.
“If you won’t lend us the treasures, so be it. The ancestor will continue to look for the Demon Venerable of the demon race. Just rest assured!”
Just as he was about to leave the Divine Ape Mountain, the voice of the Jade Tripod Alchemy clan master came from behind him.
“Since Senior intends to slay the demons, we naturally won’t disappoint him, but the four major clans hope that the four great dynasties will promise that you will never make things hard for Chen Chen again.”
…
Two days later.
A storage ring was delivered to Bai Dongsheng in the underground chamber of the palace of the Great Jing Dynasty.
Sensing the eight supreme treasures inside, Bai Dongsheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
If he had these treasures in the beginning, he might have been cultivating in the upper realm by now.
“The ancestors, the four major clans, and the other imperial dynasties have each lent you a treasure. All of them are famous among humans and I’ve checked them all. There’s no problem with them, rest assured and use them.”
The voice of the Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty came from the communication token and Bai Dongsheng nodded, feeling rather heartened.
These supreme treasures had a longer history than him. They had become famous when he was just an emperor. How could he not be aware?
With his current strength and these treasures, he was 60% confident that he could transcend the Ascension Tribulation.
Such a high certainty was already considered very good among peak-stage Void Refinement cultivators.
There had been more than a hundred peak Void Refinement realm cultivators in the human race over the past 10,000 years, but there was definitely less than 60% who succeeded in transcending the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
“Ancestor, please notify us in advance before you come out of seclusion so that we can prepare for your strike.”
After receiving another message from the communication token, Bai Dongsheng smiled.
‘These descendants still can’t let it go after all.’
‘At the peak of the Void Refinement realm, why should we care about racial distinctions?’
Ascension was the ultimate goal in his eyes.
Once he succeeded in ascending to the upper realm and entering a brand new world, the life and death of these nobodies in the lower realm wouldn’t matter to him.
With that thought in mind, Bai Dongsheng shook his head and said to himself, “It’s not that I’m shameless, but you juniors just can’t understand, hehe!”
Bang!
As soon as he said that, a faint, crunching sound came out from within him.
The last seal finally broke apart completely at this point.
At the same time, the aura on his body grew stronger and stronger, and it didn’t take long before he reached the peak of the Void Refinement realm.
The peak of the Void Refinement realm was already the limit of what this world can bear.
Rumor had it that a great war took place in this world more than 20,000 years ago. After the war, there was a shocking and drastic change in the world, so much so that the world was barely able to tolerate the presence of peak Void Refinement realm cultivators.
Sensing his massive power, Bai Dongsheng smiled and flew out of the palace.
With his current strength, the cultivators from the imperial dynasties wouldn’t be able to discover his traces, as long as he didn’t want to let them do so.
Looking at the earth below, Bai Dongsheng’s eyes were filled with some melancholy. After all, he had been here for thousands of years.
At this moment, he had two paths to choose from.
One was to head west where the demon race’s territory was. If he were to do that, he may be able to kill a Void Refinement realm demon and increase the chances of the human race defeating the demon race. He could then transcend the Ascension Tribulation with a 60% chance of success.
The other was to head east where the Boundless Sea was. He could try to kill Chen Chen, and if he were to succeed, he would be able to ascend to the upper realm, but if he fails, he could totally save himself with his current strength. When that time comes, he would still be able to transcend the Ascension Tribulation with a 60% chance of success.
However, he would have to face some criticism and even implicate his junior who was now the emperor.
In contrast, Bai Dongsheng did not hesitate in the slightest and flew directly in the direction of the Boundless Sea. At the same time, he comforted himself in his head. ‘As long as I ascend fast enough, those scoldings and criticism won’t be able to catch up with me. If I don’t hear them, it means they don’t exist. Hehe!”
