Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start
Chapter 154 The Terrifying Wrath of a Saint!
Chapter 154 The Terrifying Wrath of a Saint! (Two Chapters Combined)
The Taoist Ran Deng stared at Jiang Heng with a gloomy expression. Although he knew that the Human Emperor in front of him was difficult to deal with, he did not expect him to be so terrifying.
He lost a priceless treasure after just one exchange. What would happen if the fight continued?
The Taoist Ran Deng looked solemn, and he was already having the idea of retreating. But how easy would it be to retreat from the hands of the Human Emperor in front of him?
"What? Weren't you so confident just now? Now you're too scared to make a move?" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.
From beginning to end, Jiang Heng never took the Daoist Randeng seriously, and even if the Daoist Randeng were to attain enlightenment in the future, the outcome would not change in the slightest.
"Hmph! Human Emperor, I admit you are a top expert, but don't underestimate Randeng. After all, I have cultivated for countless years."
If I'm not mistaken, you should have arrived much earlier, but you let me drive away Zhao Gongming and seize the two magic treasures!
"You just want to use me to seize the magic weapon from Zhao Gongming. Don't think I don't know!" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.
"You do have some self-awareness, but so what? The result won't change!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully again.
"Hmph! I can let go of the Treasure-Dropping Coins just now, but you shouldn't have let me get my hands on those twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls!" said Daoist Ran Deng.
"Oh? It seems you've only just begun to grasp the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and already understand the mysteries of this magical treasure!" Jiang Heng said.
"That's for sure. The moment I saw this magical artifact, I knew it was extraordinary and that it was destined for me."
Having only mastered the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, I instantly understood that with this magic weapon, my path to enlightenment had been achieved!
You're still a step too late. Without these twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, I could never be your match!
"But now, even though I still cannot defeat a strongman of your level, you can no longer do anything to me!" said Daoist Ran Deng.
When he said these words, Daoist Ran Deng was unusually confident, as if he had become a completely different person compared to before.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is because Daoist Ran Deng has already glimpsed the secrets of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which is why he is so confident.
"Hahaha! I can tell you that with the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, one can manifest the wonders of the twenty-four heavens."
Its profound mysteries not only allow you to easily sever the three corpses and reach the peak quasi-saint level, but also contain endless mysteries.
"If one can fully grasp its mysteries, one can possess the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens and become the strongest person below the Saint!" Jiang Heng said.
The Taoist Ran Deng stared at Jiang Heng in disbelief. He had only glimpsed the secrets of the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, but Jiang Heng had revealed them in a single sentence.
The Taoist Ran Deng was instantly both surprised and delighted. The delight was indeed his feeling; the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was indeed the key to his enlightenment.
If what this Human Emperor said is true, then Daoist Burning Lamp will definitely become a top powerhouse in the prehistoric world.
By then, the title of Daoist Ran Deng as the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect will be well-deserved, and he will have many more options.
What surprised him was that Jiang Heng had so easily revealed the secrets of the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls right in front of him.
The Taoist Ran Deng quickly realized that the Human Emperor before him probably didn't mind that he knew these things, and what this meant was self-evident.
The emperor before him not only thought that suppressing him was an easy task, but also had no intention of letting him go at all.
When the Taoist Ran Deng understood all this, he was both shocked and furious. He knew that he had absolutely no chance of escaping this situation.
"Then let the Emperor comprehend the profound mystery of combining the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls!" said Daoist Ran Deng in a deep voice.
Having said that, Daoist Ran Deng dared not hold back in the slightest and threw out twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. In an instant, boundless divine light illuminated the heavens and the earth.
The Taoist Ran Deng had only initially mastered the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, but his skill in using this treasure was in no way inferior to Zhao Gongming's.
From this point of view alone, Daoist Ran Deng is already quite remarkable, worthy of being a top expert who has cultivated since ancient times.
Subsequently, the Qiankun Ruler in the hands of the Taoist Ran Deng severed the heavens and earth, generating the two energies of Yin and Yang, and connecting with the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls.
In an instant, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls trembled slightly, and within the Yin and Yang energies, twenty-four great worlds slowly emerged.
Jiang Heng nodded unconsciously. Daoist Ran Deng had indeed grasped the secrets of the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.
Those twenty-four great worlds are already the prototype of the twenty-four heavens. With just one more step, the Daoist Burning Lamp will have achieved his Dao.
However, even so, the power of the Qiankun Ruler, when combined with the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, instantly multiplied several times over.
At this moment, even for some peak Quasi-Saint level experts, defeating Daoist Ran Deng would be virtually impossible.
Unfortunately, the Daoist Ran Deng was facing Jiang Heng, a powerful figure who had already surpassed the level of a quasi-saint, and could not be judged by ordinary standards.
"You are too weak. Even if you have comprehended the mysteries of the Twenty-Four Heavens, you are still too weak!" Jiang Heng shook his head and said.
After saying that, Jiang Heng took a step forward, and his terrifying physical strength suddenly erupted. He condensed supreme power in his fist and threw it out.
At this moment, the world seemed incredibly fragile before Jiang Heng. With a single punch, the heavens and earth were turned upside down, and even the universe seemed to shatter.
With a roar, Daoist Ran Deng disregarded everything else and focused all his efforts on controlling the twenty-four worlds, which then pressed down on Jiang Heng.
With a disdainful expression, Jiang Heng unleashed a punch that pressed down on the heavens and earth, his invincible aura permeating the space between them, instantly causing the twenty-four worlds to tremble.
Then, to the incredulous gaze of the Burning Lamp Taoist, the first world instantly collapsed under Jiang Heng's fist.
This was just the beginning. The power contained in Jiang Heng's punch was terrifying, as if shattering the world was nothing to him.
The remaining twenty-three worlds all began to tremble continuously, but they could not withstand it for long and began to collapse under Jiang Heng's punch.
"Impossible! How could you possibly possess such terrifying power? I don't believe it!" Daoist Ran Deng roared in disbelief.
While roaring, the Taoist Ran Deng's face showed a crazy expression. He actually spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which hit the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls.
In an instant, the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls vibrated together, and the twenty-four worlds that had just been shattered reappeared.
Moreover, this time, the twenty-four worlds became clearer, and one could vaguely see the scenes within them.
Rivers, mountains, and lakes are all included; it doesn't seem like a phantom of twenty-four worlds, but rather like twenty-four real worlds.
"To spare no effort and deplete one's cultivation to fully unleash the power of two magic treasures with one's own essence and blood? That's certainly a desperate measure."
But as I just said, you are too weak. Even if you had mastered the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens, so what?
"Before absolute power, everything is illusory. Unfortunately, you will never understand this truth!" Jiang Heng said.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Heng threw another punch, as casually and simply as ever, yet with terrifying power.
The twenty-four more perfect worlds contained terrifying power, but they were still useless against Jiang Heng's punch.
As the first world shattered, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, causing all twenty-four worlds to collapse completely and turn into fragments.
The Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls reappeared, their precious light now completely dimmed, and Jiang Heng grabbed them in his hand.
The Taoist Ran Deng looked gloomy and stared at Jiang Heng in disbelief. He still couldn't understand why Jiang Heng's strength was so terrifying.
Having initially unraveled the mysteries of the Twenty-Four Heavens, Daoist Ran Deng was even confident that he could fight any peak Quasi-Saint, but why did he still easily lose to the Human Emperor before him?
At this moment, not only did the twenty-four great worlds collapse, but the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were also seized by that Human Emperor.
Daoist Ran Deng knew that with his current severely injured body, there was absolutely no possibility of him taking those two magical treasures back from Jiang Heng.
The hope of attaining enlightenment was right before his eyes, but it slipped away from him. One can only imagine the resentment in the heart of Daoist Ran Deng.
Staring at Jiang Heng with eyes full of resentment, Daoist Ran Deng wished he could tear Jiang Heng to pieces, but unfortunately, he had no hope at all.
However, it is foreseeable that from now on, Daoist Ran Deng will keep a close eye on Jiang Heng like a venomous snake.
If there is even the slightest chance, Daoist Ran Deng will never let it go and will jump out at the crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng was very clear about the little scheme of the Taoist Ran Deng, so he would not give the Taoist Ran Deng any chance at all.
"From the moment you made your move, your fate was sealed, and now it's time for you to pay the price!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
"You want to kill me? You actually dare to kill me?" Daoist Ran Deng was suddenly shocked and looked at Jiang Heng in disbelief.
From Jiang Heng's words, Daoist Ran Deng clearly sensed an extremely sharp killing intent; Jiang Heng had already decided to kill him.
But how could that be? Even if Jiang Heng's strength is incredibly terrifying, and he is the current Human Emperor of the human race, how could he dare to kill him?
Although Daoist Ran Deng was not well-liked in the Chan Sect, he was still the vice leader of the Chan Sect. How could Jiang Heng dare to kill him?
To put it bluntly, even if Daoist Ran Deng were a dog, he would still be a dog of the Chan Sect, representing the face of the entire Chan Sect.
If we kill him, Daoist Randeng, not only will the entire Chan Sect be locked in a life-or-death struggle with this Human Emperor, but how could the Primordial Heavenly Venerable let this Human Emperor go?
Even if this Human Emperor is incredibly powerful, how could he possibly be a match for a Sage? Could the entire human race withstand the Sage's wrath?
"You think I wouldn't dare kill you just because you're the vice leader of the Chan Sect? You're too naive. In the Great Tribulation, no one is immune to death!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
Jiang Heng dared to make a move even when facing the Sage of Guidance, so how could he not dare to make a move against a mere Daoist Ran Deng?
Even if this Daoist Ran Deng was a key figure in the Journey to the West, and might even be a pawn of the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so what?
If Daoist Ran Deng hadn't been so eager to kill him, Jiang Heng might have actually spared him out of respect for Yuanshi Tianzun.
After all, confronting the sage Yuanshi Tianzun right now is not a good thing for Jiang Heng.
However, when he attacked Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, two human beings, Daoist Ran Deng was already destined to perish at that moment.
The dignity of the human race cannot be violated. As the Human Emperor, Jiang Heng's words are ironclad rules. Therefore, Daoist Ran Deng must die no matter what.
"No! You can't kill me! If you dare to make a move, the Primordial Sage will not let you go!" said the Daoist Burning Lamp, his face filled with fear.
"What a pity! It's too late! Even if it were the Primordial Sage today, he couldn't save your life!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
Having said that, Jiang Heng didn't bother to waste any more words with Daoist Randeng. He raised his hand and threw a punch, gathering terrifying power, towards Daoist Randeng.
Daoist Ran Deng was horrified to discover that Jiang Heng's punch was even more terrifying than the previous two punches. The incredible power seemed capable of destroying the entire world.
At this moment, in front of Jiang Heng, Daoist Ran Deng felt as if he were an ant, with no chance of even struggling.
"Primordial Sage! Save me!" Faced with the terrifying prospect of life and death, Daoist Ran Deng roared furiously.
But Jiang Heng remained cold and unmoved by the dying struggle of the Burning Lamp Daoist, and the punch still landed with irresistible force.
But at that very moment, an unparalleled aura appeared in the heavens, and time and space in the entire world seemed to freeze at that instant.
The sage Yuanshi Tianzun finally chose to intervene. He could not bear to watch as the Daoist Ran Deng, the vice leader of the Chan Sect, perished at the hands of Jiang Heng.
Space and time were frozen in place by the saint's supreme power, and even Jiang Heng's terrifying punch could not advance an inch further.
No matter how strong Jiang Heng is, he is not a saint after all. And below the saint, all are ants. This is not just a saying, but an ironclad law of the primordial world.
Below the level of a sage, even the slightest difference represents a world apart, not a difference in strength, but a vast gap in levels.
"Hahaha! The Primordial Sage has made his move. Even if you are the strongest, you can't possibly kill me in front of a Sage!"
A look of joy appeared on the face of the Taoist Ran Deng. At this moment, he felt no fear whatsoever. He knew that his hope for survival had arrived.
With eyes filled with extreme resentment, Daoist Ran Deng looked at Jiang Heng. Now that the fear of death had subsided, his hatred for Jiang Heng had reached an unparalleled level.
It was so close, so very close. Just a moment ago, Daoist Ran Deng truly felt the breath of death. He almost died at the hands of the Human Emperor before him.
However, now that the power of the sage has emerged, under normal circumstances, Jiang Heng has no chance of killing the Burning Lamp Daoist.
"Trying to stop me now? Too late!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice, his expression unchanged.
As he spoke, a dense golden light of merit suddenly gathered around Jiang Heng. A dazzling golden body of merit appeared, like a layer of armor, which Jiang Heng wore.
The next moment, Jiang Heng's fist, which had been frozen in mid-air, moved again inexplicably, and pressed down on Daoist Ran Deng.
"Impossible! This is impossible! How could you continue to attack in the face of a sage's power?" Daoist Ran Deng said incredulously.
But at this moment, Daoist Ran Deng was completely overjoyed and his joy turned to sorrow. In his incredulous gaze, Jiang Heng's fist still landed.
With a single punch, terrifying power erupted, instantly shattering the physical body of Daoist Ran Deng, followed by his primordial spirit.
Even in death, the face of the Daoist Burning Lamp was filled with disbelief. He simply couldn't understand why he was still dead even though the Primordial Sage had already made his move.
Before the power of a sage, unless one is also a sage, how could one possibly move an inch? But Jiang Heng just happened to move.
Jiang Heng not only moved, but also incredibly, he killed the Daoist Ran Deng in the face of the power of a sage.
With a single punch from Jiang Heng, the physical body and primordial spirit of Daoist Ran Deng were completely destroyed, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul that was eventually listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
In fact, dying and being listed on the Investiture of the Gods is not, strictly speaking, a complete fall from grace, as one can still ultimately become a righteous god in the Heavenly Court.
However, because he was already dead, after being listed on the Investiture of the Gods, the Taoist Ran Deng would be subject to its commands from then on.
This kind of confinement, where one is deprived of freedom, unable to break free, and finds it difficult to make any further progress in cultivation, is probably worse than death for Daoist Ran Deng.
At the very moment that Daoist Ran Deng perished, the supreme aura in the heavens above suddenly trembled violently.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to be enraged, and an incomparably terrifying aura gathered in the heavens, causing all living beings in the primordial world to tremble.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who were watching the battle from a distance, had already knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, as if they had sensed some great terror.
The sage Yuanshi Tianzun was enraged. Even after he had made his move, Daoist Randeng still perished at the hands of Jiang Heng.
This is undoubtedly the greatest provocation for a sage. If he doesn't react at all, what will become of his dignity and authority?
When a sage is enraged, the heavens and earth are turned upside down, and the entire primordial world trembles as if the end of the world is about to arrive.
Facing the enraged Yuanshi Tianzun and that terrifying aura, Jiang Heng remained calm and took a step, already arriving in the Nine Heavens.
"Today, Daoist Ran Deng dared to attack the human race, so he deserves to perish. This concerns the dignity of our human race, and I have no choice but to take action!"
"If the Primordial Sage is unwilling to give up, our human race will certainly fight to the bitter end!" Jiang Heng said with unwavering resolve.
Even when facing the enraged Primordial Sage, Jiang Heng felt no fear and was not capable of any compromise.
At this moment, Jiang Heng represents not just himself, but the entire human race, and he cannot afford to back down in the slightest.
"Dare to offend the sage? You deserve to die!"
A mighty voice came from the heavens above, and as it rang out, the entire primordial world seemed to tremble and crumble at that moment.
Meanwhile, high above, under the immense power of gathering, an ancient little banner was slowly taking shape.
This is not the true innate treasure, the Pangu Banner, but rather a condensation of a trace of the Pangu Banner's power. Even so, it is already terrifying beyond measure.
The one who made the move was a sage, and one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun. To be honest, he was a level stronger than the Sage Jieyin back then.
After the phantom of the Pangu Banner condensed, an incomparably terrifying aura spread between heaven and earth, causing all living beings in the entire primordial world to sense it.
Many quasi-saints were trembling with fear as they secretly pondered who was so arrogant as to dare to offend a saint.
Jiang Heng's expression turned slightly solemn. Conflict with Yuanshi Tianzun at this moment was not actually part of Jiang Heng's plan.
However, if Jiang Heng were given the choice again, he would still not regret killing the Burning Lamp Daoist. This was a matter of principle, and there was no room for negotiation.
Just as Jiang Heng was pondering, the phantom of the innate treasure Pangu Banner slowly descended from the heavens.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to shatter before Jiang Heng's eyes, and even his incomparably powerful physical body became incredibly fragile.
Among the three innate treasures of the primordial world, the Pangu Banner possesses the power to tear apart the primordial chaos and shatter the spacetime of all heavens.
In addition, the Pangu Banner possesses the power of boundless creation, the ability to govern all laws and mysteries, and the supreme power to open up the universe.
In terms of offensive power alone, among the three innate treasures, the Pangu Banner is undoubtedly the strongest, capable of destroying the world with ease.
Now, Yuanshi Tianzun has not allowed the Pangu Banner to truly descend; merely manifesting a trace of its power is already terrifying beyond measure.
Facing the terrifying and boundless Pangu Banner, Jiang Heng stood tall above the nine heavens, his golden body shimmering with dazzling golden light.
The Golden Body of Merit is Jiang Heng's greatest trump card. With the Golden Body of Merit protecting him, even a saint would have to think twice before killing Jiang Heng.
Moreover, Jiang Heng is the current Human Emperor of the human race. Killing the Human Emperor would incur immense karmic consequences; even a saint would not easily do such a thing.
However, it wouldn't be surprising if the Primordial Celestial Venerable, in his rage, destroyed the world. Whether he would take action against Jiang Heng is truly hard to say.
The Pangu Banner slowly descended, and it seemed that the sage Yuanshi Tianzun had already made up his mind to kill Jiang Heng, the human emperor.
Jiang Heng's expression grew increasingly solemn. He was pondering whether it was time to reveal some of his trump cards to counter the Primordial Sage.
Otherwise, once the Pangu Banner falls, this body of Di Xin, who has transformed into another, will absolutely not have any chance of escaping unscathed.
The loss of Emperor Xin was minor, but the fact that the current human emperor was killed by a sage was earth-shattering and enough to shake the entire prehistoric world.
Even more so, all of Jiang Heng's future plans might be ruined because of this, which is something Jiang Heng cannot tolerate.
A terrifying aura swept over him, and Jiang Heng's powerful physical body was on the verge of collapse; even his golden body was beginning to crack.
"We can't wait any longer. Even if we're exposed, we can't let the Primordial Celestial Venerable kill the Human Emperor!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
Just as Jiang Heng gritted his teeth, preparing to take a gamble, another supreme aura suddenly appeared in the heavens.
A golden bridge connects heaven and earth, and the Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol appears in the sky. The Pangu Banner, which was slowly falling, can no longer fall even an inch.
"Second Junior Brother, during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, even sages cannot act rashly. You've gone too far this time. Stop!"
A mighty voice came from the heavens above. Jiang Heng was very familiar with this voice; it was the voice of the Taiqing Saint, the leader of the Six Saints.
As the sound rang out, the world before Jiang Heng returned to normal, and even the terrifying aura of the Pangu Banner vanished without a trace.
After a while, the phantom of the Pangu Banner finally dissipated between heaven and earth, and the golden bridge that connected heaven and earth also disappeared.
The entire primordial world returned to peace, and many powerful figures finally breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
When a sage makes a move, the aura is truly terrifying. Any expert below the level of a sage is no different from an ant.
"I never expected that the one who intervened to stop Yuanshi Tianzun would be Taiqing Shengren!" Jiang Heng thought to himself as he put away his Golden Body of Merit.
Jiang Heng had considered that the Tongtian Sect Leader might intervene to stop the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, after all, given the current state of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, it was not impossible.
But Jiang Heng did not expect that the Tongtian Sect Leader would not make a move this time. Instead, it was the Taiqing Saint who stopped the Yuanshi Tianzun.
However, after careful consideration, Jiang Heng realized that it wasn't entirely impossible for the Sage Taiqing to intervene.
The Sage Taiqing is, after all, the leader of the Human Cult, and is born to enjoy the fortune of the human race. If the current Human Emperor is killed, the fortune of the human race will inevitably suffer a great loss.
At that time, even the Supreme Saint Taiqing, as the leader of the Human Sect, would likely be affected. Therefore, the Supreme Saint Taiqing had no choice but to take action.
However, these are just Jiang Heng's guesses. The Sage Taiqing is too unfathomable, and Jiang Heng still doesn't know the details of this sage.
Jiang Heng put aside his many thoughts. No matter the reason, in the end, Jiang Heng would always face all of this again.
Jiang Heng approached Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, took out the treasure-dropping coin, and returned it to them, saying:
"This treasure is extraordinary. You two should avoid taking it out lightly in the future, lest it tempt those with malicious intent!"
The Treasure-Dropping Coin is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. If used properly, it will have endless wonderful uses and is naturally extraordinary.
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!" Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are merely two Great Luo Golden Immortals; how could they possibly guard a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?
If other powerful figures were to see through the true nature of the Luobao Coins, they might, like the Daoist Ran Deng, harbor malicious intentions towards Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
At that time, without a powerful figure like Jiang Heng to help Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, they will inevitably face a situation where they are killed and their treasures stolen.
"Your Majesty, we also know that this Treasure-Falling Coin is no ordinary treasure. It is purely coincidental that this treasure ended up in our hands."
"After much deliberation, we realized that with our combined strength, possessing this treasure was no easy feat, so we decided to offer it to the Emperor!" Xiao Sheng said.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao made this decision after much deliberation. They were terrified when they almost died at the hands of Daoist Ran Deng.
They also realized that, with their cultivation level as Great Luo Golden Immortals and without any backing, possessing a supreme treasure was not actually a good thing.
Moreover, Jiang Heng did not covet the Treasure-Dropping Coins; after killing the Burning Lamp Daoist, he actually returned the Treasure-Dropping Coins to them.
After comparing the two options, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao finally decided to give the Luobao Coin to Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor.
Jiang Heng looked at Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao with considerable surprise. It was clear that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were quite extraordinary to make such a decision.
After all, everyone understands the principle, but the Treasure-Losing Coin is still a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Not everyone can give up such a treasure.
"Since that's the case, I'll accept this Treasure-Dropping Coin, but as the Emperor, I cannot covet your precious treasure."
How about this: if you are willing, you can train under my command. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect you.
"If you are unwilling, you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future, and I can grant you one request!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
The Luobao Coin was extremely valuable, and since Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao had given it to him, Jiang Heng couldn't possibly remain silent about it.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "We are used to a leisurely life and only seek the Great Dao, so we plan to cultivate here in Wuyi Mountain."
Everyone has their own ambitions, and Jiang Heng didn't force them. It was perfectly normal for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to want to live in seclusion and cultivate in the Wuyi Mountains during the current Investiture of the Gods calamity.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. I'll teach you both another supreme technique, and my promise to you will still stand!" Jiang Heng said.
After saying that, Jiang Heng raised his hand and pointed, and a mysterious aura surged into the minds of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
"Such a supreme technique is simply unbelievable!"
After a long while, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao finally came to their senses and, upon recalling the cultivation technique in their minds, both showed joy on their faces.
However, when Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao looked around again, they found that Emperor Jiang Heng had already left.
Because the value of the Fallen Treasure Coin was extremely high, the martial arts techniques that Jiang Heng passed on to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were naturally extraordinary as well.
One is the "Willow God Treasure Technique," and the other is the "Kunpeng Treasure Technique." Both techniques are supreme techniques at the Immortal King level.
If this were the primordial world, both of these cultivation techniques would be at the level of saints, and their value would be immeasurable.
With these two cultivation techniques in hand, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao may have a chance to reach the Quasi-Saint realm in the future if they cultivate diligently.
Moreover, this time Jiang Heng also agreed to give Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao a chance to make a request, which is of extraordinary value.
To be honest, the value of Jiang Heng's promise alone is no less than that of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Falling Coin.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao obtained this unparalleled opportunity, and after they achieved something in the future, they will actually be of help to Jiang Heng, but that is another story.
At this time, Jiang Heng had already returned to Chaoge City, but the battle between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had come to an end.
After all, Zhao Gongming was seriously injured by the Taoist Ran Deng and lost twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls. With his strength greatly diminished, he was naturally unable to fight against the Chan Sect.
On the Chan Sect's side, two of the Twelve Golden Immortals died, and the Chan Sect's vice leader, Daoist Ran Deng, was also killed by Jiang Heng, resulting in heavy losses.
As a result, Xiqi even abandoned its campaign against Chong Houhu, the Marquis of the North, and the entire Xiqi fell silent once again.
After all, Emperor Jiang Heng had just killed a Quasi-Saint, and even the Saint Yuanshi Tianzun had to take action, yet Jiang Heng was still alive and well.
With such overwhelming and ferocious power, who would dare to provoke Jiang Heng at this time? It was only natural that all parties fell silent and licked their wounds.
After returning to Chaoge City, Jiang Heng began to devote himself to comprehending the two supreme treasures, the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.
The Qiankun Ruler, combined with the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, can reveal the secrets of the twenty-four heavens, which is the key to the Daoist Ran Deng's attainment of enlightenment.
Jiang Heng naturally did not need to prove his Dao through this method. Moreover, Jiang Heng himself did not follow the method of severing the three corpses to attain Dao.
With the blessing of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings, possessing the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint, it was actually nothing to Jiang Heng.
The fundamental reason why Jiang Heng wanted to study the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls was to comprehend the Creation Mark.
Back then, Jiang Heng saw the mark of creation in the obsession of the Great Dao Demon God, which was an unparalleled opportunity even for Jiang Heng.
However, within the obsession of the Great Dao Demon God, the Creation Mark was fragmented, making it extremely difficult to fully comprehend.
The combination of the Qiankun Ruler and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to evolve the mysteries of the twenty-four heavens is, to some extent, similar to the creation of heaven and earth.
At Jiang Heng's level, even the smallest common ground can inspire him and lead him to comprehend profound mysteries.
It's not entirely impossible to use this as an opportunity to fully comprehend the mysteries of the Creation Mark.
"Originally, there were thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in total, but twelve of them were lost over the long years!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
With Jiang Heng's current cultivation level, after a period of study, he will naturally be able to master the mysteries of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and the Universe Ruler.
While studying the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, Jiang Heng discovered that there was always a slight flaw in their operation.
Jiang Heng initially thought this was because he didn't have enough control over the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which was why this situation occurred.
However, after Jiang Heng fully mastered the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, he discovered that the slight flaw still existed.
Soon, Jiang Heng realized the crux of the problem: it wasn't Jiang Heng's fault, but rather that the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls themselves were the problem.
According to Jiang Heng's judgment, twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are not enough; only when the number is thirty-six can the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls be considered truly complete.
The perfected Dinghai Divine Pearl is naturally extraordinary in power, definitely belonging to the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
If combined with the Qiankun Ruler, the evolution will not only encompass the mysteries of the Twenty-Four Heavens, but also the mysteries of the Thirty-Six Heavens.
If such a level could be achieved, even though the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Universe Ruler are not innate treasures, the power they could unleash would still be earth-shattering.
This is similar to the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Although they are not innate treasures, their offensive power is even greater than that of the three innate treasures.
Unfortunately, only 24 of the 36 Sea-Stabilizing Pearls remain. As for the whereabouts of the remaining 12, Jiang Heng has no idea.
Perhaps it exists somewhere in the primordial world, perhaps it is in the hands of a powerful being, or perhaps it is in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
In any case, unless Jiang Heng has an extraordinary stroke of luck, it is basically impossible for him to collect all thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.
"The secrets of the evolution of the twenty-four heavens are enough for me for now!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
What Jiang Heng actually needed was not a powerful magic weapon, but rather the ability to comprehend the secrets of the Twenty-Four Heavens and thus understand the Creation Mark.
Unlike the Daoist Ran Deng who attained enlightenment, Jiang Heng needed to comprehend the deepest mysteries of the Twenty-Four Heavens.
This matter was not simple and would require some time. Therefore, Jiang Heng quickly shut himself off from the outside world and began to cultivate in seclusion in Chaoge City.
During the time Jiang Heng was in seclusion, Xiqi fell into complete silence, with neither the Chan Sect nor the Heavenly Court making any move.
Even the Jie Sect remained completely silent, and Shen Gongbao, who had been constantly jumping around within the sect, also stopped making any move.
The human race, the Chan sect, the Jie sect, and the Heavenly Court all fell silent in perfect unison, plunging the entire prehistoric world into an eerie atmosphere.
However, the arrival of the Investiture of the Gods calamity was beyond anyone's control, and the malevolent energy between heaven and earth was becoming increasingly intense.
Under the workings of the heavens, the eruption of the Great Calamity is inevitable. The current silence will only make the eruption of the Great Calamity even more terrifying.
Time flies, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. None of the creatures in the primordial world could have imagined that the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods would be followed by a thousand years of peace.
At this moment, Jiang Heng, who was in seclusion in Chaoge City, opened his eyes. At that moment, it seemed that twenty-four worlds appeared in Jiang Heng's eyes.
"I see, this time it was quite a fruitful harvest!" Jiang Heng said to himself with a smile.
After a thousand years of studying the mysteries of the Twenty-Four Heavens, Jiang Heng finally gained some insights and completely mastered them.
Now, Jiang Heng can not only empower himself with the power of the twenty-four worlds, but also suppress his opponents with the power of the twenty-four worlds.
But none of these are the most important. In these twenty-four worlds, Jiang Heng is like a creator, and that is the most crucial point.
With just a thought, Jiang Heng could change twenty-four worlds, turning the world upside down and reversing the sun and moon.
Even creating things from nothingness and creating living beings, Jiang Heng could do it at will in these twenty-four worlds.
This is the power of the Creator, something that even a sage in the primordial world could not accomplish, yet Jiang Heng did it with ease in the twenty-four worlds.
This doesn't grant Jiang Heng any significant power, but it allows him to fully comprehend countless mysteries within these twenty-four worlds.
For example, the scene of Heaven's wrath and destruction of all living beings is simulated in twenty-four worlds, so that the first move of the Emperor Fist, Heaven's Wrath, can be truly perfected.
For example, the creation of the world was simulated in twenty-four worlds, allowing Jiang Heng to gain a deeper understanding of the Creation Mark.
It can be said that possessing these twenty-four heavens is no less than possessing a supreme innate treasure for Jiang Heng.
Whether it's the Emperor's Fist or the Creation Mark, Jiang Heng has made unimaginable progress over the past thousand years.
For Jiang Heng, this was undoubtedly an unparalleled opportunity, giving him more confidence in his future plans.
"Judging by the time, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is about to erupt completely!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
Everything was ready, and both Jiang Heng and the saints were waiting for that moment to arrive.
At that time, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was hiding behind the scenes, will personally step in. That will be the peak moment of this Investiture of the Gods calamity.
Immediately after Jiang Heng emerged from seclusion, Yang Jian, who had been cultivating by Jiang Heng's side, came to see him.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Jiang Heng's face. He naturally knew why Yang Jian wanted to see him.
