The Great Wild God - Chapter 490
Chapter 490 Successor
Chen Xun didn’t expect to be able to solve Darkness Ridge’s hidden dangers in one go. The unprecedented devilish calamity brought about by the Thousand Devil Realm couldn’t be solved in a short period of time. However, the various sects had to unite. They couldn’t place the heavy burden on the Xuandu Sect, nor could they let some ambitious people dig into the Xuandu Sect or Mountain Parasol’s foundations behind their backs.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators and hundreds of millions of people in the Northwest Region weren’t affected by the devastation. The Northern Region was just south of Darkness Ridge’s millions of devils. If they were careless, they would suffer the same fate as the Northwest Region. It was relatively easy for the Xuanmen cultivators in the two regions to unite together.
As for the southeast region led by the Dragon Gate Sect, the eastern region led by the Profound Heaven Sect, and other sects, their feelings towards the demonic tribulation weren’t as profound, and they weren’t as imminent.
Apart from Tao Jinghong, who insisted on reinforcing Zhou Wushan with more than ten thousand cultivators from the Southeast Region, the other sects from the other six regions added up to over ten thousand cultivators from Zhou Wushan. Most of them were at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and the ones in charge of leading the group were Dharma Aspect Realm experts.
Apart from Tao Jinghong and Jiang Junwen, the Spring Mausoleum Monarch who had come to Zhou Wushan to compete for merit, none of the Celestial Realm experts that could truly be called the mainstay of Cloud Continent had rushed to Zhou Wushan.
The other six sects did not react so positively to the devilish tribulation, but they did not hold back the Northwest and North Regions. Instead, the 36 Divine General descendants outside the Middle and South Regions were the biggest hidden dangers in the Northwest and North Regions, apart from the devils.
The bloodshed caused by Hengyun Mountain was only a precursor.
At this moment, only Mountain Parasol and the Xuandu Sect could not suppress the greedy ambitions of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals’ descendants. In the Thirty-Six Divine Generals’ descendants’ ambitions, Mountain Parasol and the Xuandu Sect were obstacles that needed to be removed and suppressed.
Chen Xun knew that he would meet Tao Jinghong on this trip, and he hoped that Dragon Gate Sect would definitely support King of Qing so as to curb the greedy ambitions of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals’ descendants.
“King of Qing is very scheming. These years, the clouds have covered the fog, and outsiders can’t see through it. Perhaps it’s not enough to entrust an important task to him, right?” Luo Yuze said doubtfully.
The Jiang Clan and the Thirty-Six Divine General descendants controlled the Ancestral Dragon Mountain’s passageway to the Heavenly Jun Great World and the other six great secret realms. Over the past four thousand years, they had developed extremely quickly, and the seven sects had already been left behind.
Although Emperor Xi Wu had sworn an oath to rule Yunzhou with the seven sects back then, in fact, the influence of the Seven Sects’ Heavenly Palace was getting weaker and weaker these past few years, and they didn’t want to directly participate in the turbulent undercurrents of the imperial inheritance.
If this matter was to succeed, the benefits would not be great. No, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Moreover, the King of Qing Chen Xun recommended was not a candidate that everyone expected.
“Crown Prince Jiang Nanke has the aura of a hero. Tao shi may be able to meet him.” Chen Xun said.
Jiang Nanke was already on his way to Zhou Wushan, so he would naturally have a chance to pay his respects to Tao Jinghong. However, Chen Xun did not say anything further, and it was also difficult for Tao Jinghong and Jiang Nanke to have in-depth contact with each other.
“Yes.” Tao Jinghong nodded and agreed.
Chen Xun understood what he meant. None of King of Qing, Chun Lingjun, and the others had a reputation that would make people feel awe-inspiring. Then, they could take a longer view. From the perspective of King of Qing, Chun Lingjun’s successors, they could see if there was a suitable candidate.
If Jiang Nan Ke really had the style of a hero, then they had a good reason to support Jiang Lan and Jiang Nan Ke.
Of course, Tao Jinghong was not the only one who could decide on such a major event that would have a profound impact on the Dragon Gate Sect for thousands of years to come.
Apart from Tao Jinghong, the Dragon Gate Sect also had three Celestial Realm experts.
Chen Xun was determined to pull Dragon Gate Sect and Xuandu Sect onto the chariot of King of Qing.
If Dragon Gate Sect and the Xuandu Sect clearly supported King of Qing’s succession to the throne, and Su and the Wei Clan considered the overall situation, the problems in the Northwest Region and the Northern Region would no longer waver.
Chen Xun said, “Tao shi, I have a few magical artifacts here. I also need to invite Tao shi, Senior Brother Luo, and Senior Brother Song to keep them a secret from the outside world after seeing them.”
“Oh, what magical artifact?” Tao Jinghong asked with interest.
Even if Chen Xun took out the Pure Yang Dao Treasure, Tao Jinghong wouldn’t be surprised. Moreover, Chen Xun didn’t need to specifically warn them to keep it a secret from the outside world even if he had the Pure Yang Dao Treasure in his possession.
Right now, the outside world was speculating that the Void Origin Pearl was a treasure of the Pure Yang Dao
Back then, when Mountain Parasol was willing to take out the Copper Lightning Pillar to seal the mouth of the Demon Ruins, many people guessed that Mountain Parasol might have more than one Pure Yang Dao Artifact in his hand.
So, there’s nothing to keep secret.
Chen Xun took out a fragment of azure jade from his bag of holding, as if it was a fragment left behind by a magical artifact that had been shattered.
Tao Jinghong took the green jade fragment and silently circulated his divine sense to scan it. He was rather surprised and said, “It’s actually an Origin Gathering Stone. There’s still a small amount of immortal spiritual energy stored inside. Is it the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos?”
Luo Yuze couldn’t help but ask in shock, “So, the rumors that the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm has Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos are true?”
Chen Xun smiled and said, “If it weren’t for the Primordial Breath of the Heavenly Volcano, and if it weren’t for the fact that the King of Qing Element had taken over the Heavenly Volcano first, there wouldn’t have been such a big thing happening afterwards.”
Yun Zhou rarely knew about the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos before, but after the Tian Clan Patriarch broke it, the news was the same as the Long Mountain incident back then, flying everywhere.
However, the spatial passageway to the Heavenly Furnace secret realm was in the West Ancestral Dragon Mountain and was under the control of the Jiang Clan. Besides, the Jiang Clan and the 36 God Generals had already distributed the Heavenly Volcano cake. Before the heaven-shaking events occurred, the six sects had no way to interfere.
Luo Yuze and Song Xuanyi suddenly understood.
Although True Monarch Crimson Brow, Marquis Yuan’s Manor, and Mountain Parasol had always had a deep grudge against each other, they had endured all these years. Why would they suddenly attack in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm and be ambushed and killed by Chen Xun?
So this is the root cause.
If Primordial Chaos Origin Breath really had all sorts of supernatural abilities from the legends, he could understand why True Monarch Crimson Brow and the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty couldn’t help but attack Luo Yuze and Song Xuanyi, who attached great importance to the development of the sect’s foundations.
Chen Xun said, “At this moment, the four sects have obtained the spirit veins of the Qingwu Ridge. I have also cultivated in the Qingwu Ridge for several years. I have calculated that every time I transfer 3,000 disciples of the late True Yang Realm and early Reincarnation Realm into the Qingwu Ridge to cultivate for several years, the results will be the best.” “If King of Qing allows it, Mountain Parasol can give the quota of 1,500 to the disciples of the various sects in the Southeast and North Regions …”
Luo Yuze and Song Xuan were shocked.
The spiritual veins that could give birth to Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos in Qingwu Ridge could be said to have been created by disciples of Mountain Parasol using their flesh and blood.
Moreover, these spiritual veins could give birth to Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos. To a sect that attached great importance to the development of their foundations, their value was no less than a Pure Yang Dao Artifact.
Chen Xun sounded relaxed, but he raised his hand to give up half of the spirit veins that could give birth to Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos in Qingwu Ridge. How could it be called Luo Yuze? Song Xuanyi wasn’t shaken at all?
Tao Jinghong laughed and said, “Tie Xin wants to pull Dragon Gate Sect and Xuandu Cult onto King of Qing’s war chariot! Have you lobbied for Xuandu Cult?”
“There are some things that Chen Xun can’t take over completely. He still needs to wait for the Crown Prince to come over. I’m speaking casually in front of Tao shi.” Chen Xun said.
In the past, the Xuandu Sect did not pay much attention to Mountain Parasol. It had only changed recently. Chen Xun could not rashly come to the door for such an important matter.
As for Mountain Parasol’s willingness to give up half of Qingwu Ridge’s spiritual veins, it was mainly restricted by the Azure Water Ren Ding.
After several decades of rest and recuperation, Cang Lan had taken down the Southern Mountain Ridge of Tu Mountain. There were only 110 million people there. It was enough to select over a thousand disciples to enter the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm every three to five years to cultivate.
As for the two to three billion people in the Northern Domain and four to five billion people in the Southeast Domain, there were countless outstanding disciples that could be selected. The potential total number of disciples with the same aptitude was more than thirty to fifty times that of Cang Lan.
If King of Qing really wanted to rope in the Southeast Region, the sects of the Northern Region would also give up some spirit veins to show their sincerity.
Chen Xun wasn’t worried that they wouldn’t bite the bait if he gathered them together like this, making them more attractive to the Dragon Gate Sect and the Xuandu Sect.
Of course, there were some things that had to be pushed forward by the Qing Palace, so it was more appropriate.
Song Xuanyi was hopeful that he would be able to cultivate his True Body Technique, so he paid more attention to his personal cultivation
Luo Yuze had cultivated the Origin Pill for three hundred years. At this moment, he had already passed the peak of Qi and Blood True Yang. Unless he encountered great opportunities, only spirit medicines like the Dragon Skeleton Golden Liquid Pill would have the chance to break through. At this moment, he paid more attention to the development of his sect and clan.
Luo Yuze thought in his heart, if those Luo Clan disciples with good aptitude could enter Qingwu Ridge to undergo the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos to refine their muscles and bones, they might even be able to climb another step in their subsequent cultivation.
Chen Xun said, “The eruption of the Heavenly Volcano caused the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to undergo changes in the heavens and the earth. As a result, grandmist origin breaths were born. However, it wouldn’t last for too long, about a hundred years.” After a hundred years, the earth fire magma of the Heavenly Volcano can trigger another eruption. After that, we may have to slowly wait for the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to evolve into the Middle Thousand Worlds … ”
Chen Xun’s words were very clear. The window period for the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to give birth to the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos might only be two hundred years.
For mortals, 200 years was too long, but for large sects with tens of thousands of years of inheritance, 200 years was a bit short.
Once you miss this opportunity, you may miss it forever.
More importantly, the Dragon Gate Sect missed this opportunity, but the Jiang Clan and the Thirty-Six Divine General Sect descendants didn’t miss it.
Two to three hundred years later, the Jiang Clan and the Thirty-Six Divine Generals’ descendants might have a large number of Heavenly Origin Realm and Origin Core Realm disciples.
When Martial Emperor Xi abdicates, the Grand Oath of the Heavens that he swore to rule Yunzhou with the seven sects will cease to exist. Will the 36 Divine General Sect descendants with large numbers of mid-and high-level combat strength continue to tolerate Dragon Gate Sect’s vast, multi-billion-person Southeast Domain?
At this moment, the Southeast Domain looked calm. There was no sign of chaos gradually rising in the Northwest Domain, but three to five hundred years later, all of this was hard to say.
The fact that Chen Xun had ambushed True Monarch Crimson Brow in Qingwu Ridge also showed that the sect could not rely solely on a limited number of Celestial Realm experts.
Song Xuanyi’s mood was high, but he wasn’t a short-sighted person. After Chen Xun revealed too many secrets, he knew that the Dragon Gate Sect couldn’t continue in the fantasy of the first sect in Cloud Continent.
“Doesn’t this matter seem to be worth keeping a secret?” Of course, Tao Jinghong knew that this matter was of great importance, but he didn’t have any definite explanation. He raised the Primordial Gathering Stone in his hand and asked, “Could it be that there are other secrets hidden within this strange stone?”
Chen Xun took out a slender copper bottle from his bag of holding and handed it to Tao Jinghong. “Please take a look, Tao shi,” he said.
