Chapter 1654: 1077 Chaos Cauldron
Of course, while the Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Primordial Three Tribes are fewer in number compared to the Human Race, there are still upwards of a thousand of them, not rely a few hundred.
However, much like the Human Race, most of the Innate Dao Sovereigns from the Primordial Three Tribes are preoccupied with suppressing the Prehistoric World, leaving them unable to spare the ti.
If the Primordial Three Tribes and the Human Race can gather a total of 1,296 Innate Dao Sovereigns, they can construct the Innate Heaven and Earth Formation.
Such an array ford from the power of these many mighty figures would be equivalent to the descent of the Innate Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, and would play a significant role in the reconstruction of Suru Mountain.
The experts moved swiftly, and before Jiang Chen and the others had to wait for long, the cultivators who wished to join the reconstruction of Suru Mountain had already arrived.
The number of Great Divine Transcendents gathered was considerable—ninety-nine in total. To be honest, this number itself was quite intriguing, as it happens to align with Suru Mountain’s very limits.
Kunlun Mountain holds 108 peaks, representing its capacity to accommodate up to 108 Great Divine Transcendents at any given ti. Should this number be exceeded, Kunlun Mountain’s vital essence of creation would beco insufficient.
Suru Mountain, being sowhat inferior to Kunlun Mountain, can naturally only house fewer Great Divine Transcendents. At its peak, it accommodates no more than ninety-nine such figures.
Now, for the reconstruction of Suru Mountain, the number of Great Divine Transcendents conveniently happens to be exactly ninety-nine.
At this point, Jiang Chen’s expression inevitably turned peculiar. He didn’t believe these Great Divine Transcendents were unaware of such a fact, yet they had still chosen to proceed in this exact manner. This made it clear that they were intent on directly confronting the Western Saints.
Ninety-nine Great Divine Transcendents converging upon Suru Mountain essentially occupy all of its cultivated grounds, leaving no space for the Western Saints. What would beco of them then?
No extensive reflection was needed; once Suru Mountain had been reconstructed, these Great Divine Transcendents would undoubtedly clash with the Western Saints over the matter.
“I would guess they intend to use this opportunity as leverage, seeking concessions from the Western Saints.”
As Jiang Chen thought about it, he began to understand the intentions behind the actions of these Great Divine Transcendents. Many among them had no real need to establish a Taoist Field on Suru Mountain, yet they had still chosen to co.
Their motive seed to be using this incident as a pretext, putting the Western Saints in debt to them, which could then be exchanged for future benefits.
However, such matters were irrelevant to Jiang Chen. His sole purpose remained unchanged: reconstructing Suru Mountain.
Suru Mountain represents the ancestral veins of the Western Region. If one wishes to rebuild the West, they must first reconstruct Suru Mountain; otherwise, all other efforts would be in vain.
“Everyone, shall we begin?”
Seeing that the attendees were more or less all present, Jiang Chen stepped forward and addressed the group.
“Indeed, we may begin. As for the fragnts of Suru Mountain, we have exchanged for them with our acquainted Daoist friends. Though not entirely complete, most of them have been gathered, and the reconstruction of Suru Mountain should proceed without issue.”
A Supre Saint affird.
“Excellent.”
Upon receiving a definitive answer, Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then suddenly remarked, “By the way, I also have a fragnt of Suru Mountain in my possession. I imagine it could add a degree or two of perfection to the mountain.”
Years ago, deep within the Ruined Land, Jiang Chen had retrieved many valuable treasures, including one of the central fragnts of Suru Mountain. Even if taken alone, it could transform into a top-tier Innate Spirit Peak.
“It is truly fortuitous that the Star Lord possesses a fragnt of Suru Mountain. After all, if we want Suru Mountain restored to its pinnacle state, collecting as many fragnts as possible is naturally ideal.”
Upon hearing this, the group revealed expressions of joy. Suru Mountain had shattered so extensively in past generations that its fragnts were scattered across myriad locations, with so even lost to the Chaos. Despite having spent countless years collecting these fragnts, the group didn’t dare claim they’d recovered them all.
Now, with the reconstruction imminent, every additional fragnt ant more benefits from the restored mountain, hence their understandable jubilation.
“Very well, let us begin. I shall now command the arrangent of the Innate Heaven and Earth Formation, so that the fragnts of Suru Mountain may later be refined.”
With a slight nod, Jiang Chen produced from the Great Shang treasury the Human Race’s ultimate treasure: the 1,296 Heaven and Earth Divine Banners. No—now they should be addressed as the Innate Heaven and Earth Banners.
This treasure had been in Jiang Chen’s possession for quite so ti and had undergone a profound transformation. Although its tier had not advanced, it had nevertheless transitioned from an acquired artifact into an innate relic, its power growing exponentially.
Even without any activation, this treasure alone possessed enough strength to effortlessly suppress Great Divine Transcendents.
As for why this treasure had experienced such a drastic transformation, it was naturally because Jiang Chen had refined the Mystic Sect Tiandi’s essence entirely into the Heaven and Earth Divine Banners, causing its evolutionary leap.
The Heaven and Earth Divine Banners, once a treasure of the Human Race, had long served to seal the Mystic Sect Tiandi—a woeful misuse, in Jiang Chen’s eyes. Thus, he had intertwined the two, rging them into one inseparable entity.
In doing so, he not only resolved the problem of the Mystic Sect Tiandi but also endowed the Human Race with a supre artifact whose might rivaled that of an Innate Treasure—a decision to be praised for its multifaceted brilliance.
As for whether such actions would provoke the Mystic Sect, Jiang Chen could hardly care less. After all, he had not struck the first blow—it was the Mystic Sect Tiandi who initially made a move against him, prompting his retaliation.
Back then, shortly after ascending the throne, the Mystic Sect Tiandi had begun oppressing the Human Race. What kind of behavior was this—targeting the Human Race indiscriminately? No, his ulterior motive was to undermine Empress Nuwa’s influence.
Through the suppression of the Human Race, he sought to weaken Empress Nuwa’s power base. Such brazen treachery—daring to set himself against Empress Nuwa—could only end in his rightful demise at the hands of the Human Race.
Were the timing more favorable, Jiang Chen would surely champion the Great Shang’s cause, publicly turning the Mystic Sect Tiandi into a rightful target of criticism. Labeling him as an incompetent tyrant and condemning his na to eternal infamy would be a fitting conclusion.
