1077: 774 days of great opportunity_2 1077: 774 days of great opportunity_2 One could say that the Sha Qi, which had greatly troubled Xing Tian, was a massive opportunity sent from heaven for Jiang Chen, instantly elevating the Human Race’s strength up another notch.
“Generations produce geniuses, and every new generation surpasses the old.
I’m old and can’t keep up with the thought processes of the youngsters today,” he said.
Xing Tian’s tone was imnsely nostalgic.
Seeing Jiang Chen, he truly felt he had aged and had been surpassed by the new generation.
Back in his youth, had he possessed abilities like Jiang Chen’s, he might have already achieved the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.
With a face full of emotions, Xing Tian thought this as he looked at Jiang Chen.
“Senior, are you satisfied with my conditions?”
Seeing Xing Tian lost in his thoughts, Jiang Chen’s eyes twitched, and he couldn’t help but speak up.
He found that perhaps because Xing Tian lacked a physical body, he seed sowhat unreliable, mainly because he had no heart…
“Being able to resolve the Sha Qi is excellent for , the Witch Clan, and even for the Prehistoric World.
It could be said that this act would avert a future tribulation,” he said.
“Behind closed doors, I should agree, but…”
Xing Tian was greatly emotional, and judging by his sighs, he was likely to agree, but at the critical mont, he added a ‘but’.
As everyone knows, when the word ‘but’ appears, it ans that what was said before is irrelevant, and what follows is the crux.
Indeed, the shift ca next.
“But even if I agree, it’s useless, I don’t have the Xing Tian Axe in my possession.”
Xing Tian’s face tily revealed a regretful expression.
That look made Jiang Chen want to hit him.
The Xing Tian Axe isn’t with you, why the hell didn’t you say that earlier?
If you had ntioned that no one would have co here.
Moreover, with the Xing Tian Axe not in your possession, what’s the point of talking about it?
“May I ask, Senior, who currently possesses the Xing Tian Axe?”
Although he wanted to leave indignantly, Jiang Chen knew he could not, at least not until he learned the whereabouts of the Xing Tian Axe.
“Ah, it’s in the hands of Mother Earth,” he said.
“After I killed Haotian, I went into a berserk state, attacking anyone I saw.
Mother Earth saw this, beca furious, suppressed on the spot, and took the Xing Tian Axe, even stating outright that she would never return it to in this lifeti, to ensure I rember this lesson.”
Regarding the whereabouts of the Xing Tian Axe, Xing Tian did not hide it and directly inford Jiang Chen that it was in the hands of Mother Earth.
Rember this lesson?
Tsk tsk tsk…
What is dominance?
This is it.
Killing a Tiandi, yet the price was losing an Innate Spiritual Treasure—an exceedingly light punishnt.
Only Mother Earth could be so domineering; anyone else would have to compensate Haotian with their life.
Who was Haotian?
He was a disciple of the Taoist Ancestors, the one who had accompanied them the longest.
Even hitting a dog requires looking at its master, was it Haotian Xing Tian killed?
No, he was slapping the Taoist Ancestors in the face, which even Saints wouldn’t dare to do!
But Xing Tian dared.
Not only did he do it, but he also lived well afterwards.
“The Xing Tian Axe being in your hands is useless, Senior.
As a major witch of innate birth, your body is your best weapon.
Using weapons would only divide your focus.
Without the Xing Tian Axe, Senior could return to purity, potentially speeding up your cultivation,” Jiang Chen thought.
Thinking it through, Jiang Chen probably guessed the reason Mother Earth took away the Xing Tian Axe—it was for Xing Tian’s own good.
The Witch Clan cultivates the body, which is their best weapon.
Xing Tian treating the Xing Tian Axe as fundantal was a deviation, detrintal to future developnt.
Therefore, Mother Earth found an excuse to take the Xing Tian Axe, facilitating Xing Tian’s return to the right path.
“Indeed, the foundation of the Witch Clan is the physical body.
Beyond that, all else is external.
I valued the Xing Tian Axe too highly, seeing it as life itself.
Losing my foundation made achieving the Great Dao difficult, so, the mother took away the Xing Tian Axe, stating she would never return it in my lifeti,” Xing Tian acknowledged.
Xing Tian understood this logic, but he just couldn’t part with the Xing Tian Axe.
It was not just a weapon, but also an honor, symbolizing Pangu Great God’s favor.
The mind of a zealot is not normal, incomprehensible to outsiders.
Therefore, portraying Xing Tian as a zealot of Pangu, his actions beco understandable.
“Indeed, exactly for that reason, the Xing Tian Axe should be given to so that I can destroy it and put an end to your thoughts.”
Jiang Chen very much wanted to say these words to Xing Tian, but after considering the disparity in their strengths, he wisely buried the words in his heart and didn’t say them aloud.
“Senior, since the Xing Tian Axe is not here, I will take my leave now!”
After learning of the whereabouts of the Xing Tian Axe, Jiang Chen paid his respects to Xing Tian and took his leave, turning to depart from the place right away.
He didn’t have ti to engage in idle chat with Xing Tian, who hadn’t spoken for tens of millions of years and might likely turn into a chatterbox once he started.
Now it seed that Xing Tian was trending in that direction, so Jiang Chen naturally wanted to leave quickly.
“Ah, wait a minute!”
“Little one from the Fla Emperor’s family, you haven’t yet told how you plan to help resolve the Sha Qi in this place?”
Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave, Xing Tian couldn’t sit still and hastily spoke up to make him stay.
“Senior, I am currently in urgent need of the Xing Tian Axe.
Once I have it in my possession, I will return to discuss with you how to resolve the Sha Qi issue here.”
Jiang Chen was a very pragmatic person; the worth of Xing Tian lay in the Xing Tian Axe.
If Xing Tian still had the axe, Jiang Chen wouldn’t mind lowering his stance, but since the axe was no longer in Xing Tian’s possession, Jiang Chen imdiately changed his attitude, placing himself on the sa level as Xing Tian.
When one desires sothing, one naturally speaks more forcefully!
“Going to see Mother Earth can wait, solve this problem for first.”
Xing Tian appeared extrely anxious.
Seeing that Jiang Chen showed no intention of staying, he seed ready to take action, forcefully keeping him there.
Boom!
As Xing Tian’s voice fell, the grand hall shook violently, with countless Sha Qi rolling and forming twelve figures, both god-like and demon-like, blocking Jiang Chen’s path.
“Senior Xing Tian, what is the aning of this?”
Jiang Chen sensed sothing was amiss and stopped in his tracks.
Xing Tian was acting too urgently, as if he was hiding sothing?
“Ah, young one, why the rush?
Consider my terms first, then decide whether you want to leave or not.”
After Jiang Chen halted, Xing Tian’s deanor imdiately shifted, and the surging Sha Qi cald, the twelve god-like and demon-like figures gradually fading away.
“What are your terms?”
Jiang Chen was curious and looked up at Xing Tian.
“From the looks of it, you’ve especially sought out for the Xing Tian Axe, not rely for the magic treasure itself.”
A spark of wisdom flashed in Xing Tian’s eyes.
Although he might appear simple, he was not without intelligence; he simply preferred not to use it.
Why bother using the brain when matters can be resolved with hands?
Isn’t it troubleso?
This was a common perception among the Witch Clan.
They were not foolish, rely reluctant to think too hard.
Now that Xing Tian was physically incapacitated and temporarily unable to use his strength, he had no choice but to use his brain, thus revealing another side—a wise side.
From his observations, Jiang Chen’s intention to trade for the Xing Tian Axe was not simple.
After all, Xing Tian was not blind; how could he not see that Jiang Chen was a treasure trove in himself?
Whether it was the Heavenly Dao hairpin on his head or the previous Dharmic mirror, each was superior to the Xing Tian Axe.
A man like that, how could he possibly value the Xing Tian Axe?
Consequently, his purpose seed all the more suspicious.
Dismissing the Xing Tian Axe, yet still seeking to trade for it?
There must be sothing special about the axe?
What was special about the Xing Tian Axe?
It was particularly special because it was transford from a fragnt of the Pangu Axe.
If that were all, Xing Tian wouldn’t have speculated Jiang Chen’s intention.
However, due to the Xing Tian Axe, Xing Tian paid great attention to news about the fragnts of the Pangu Axe.
Thus, he knew that in the Ancient Era and the Distant Ancient Era, the Upper Qing Saints, also descendants of the Pangu divine lineage, had a particular fondness for collecting fragnts of the Pangu Axe.
With the brilliant celestial light of Shangqing on Jiang Chen’s body, it was obvious he was a direct disciple of the Upper Qing Saints.
Putting two and two together, Xing Tian imdiately guessed Jiang Chen’s intention.
He sought the Xing Tian Axe solely because of its relation to the Pangu Axe fragnts.
