Chapter 757: Immortal Ancestor? (2)
However, Jiang Shang was still a disciple of a Sage after all. During that period of time, he had visited almost all the immortal mountains and blessed lands he knew.
Kunlun and Penglai were dried and empty!
Fangzhang and Yingzhou had broken earth veins and providence!
The original grotto-heavens and immortal residences were all collapsed and empty.
In the end, he found the Fire Cloud Cave.
In the Divine Investiture Battle, he had asked someone to ask the three emperors for help. Therefore, he roughly knew the location of this Holy Land.
Only this place allowed him to see a different scene.
From this, he finally discovered that the power of providence of the human race could exist under the Cultivationless Age.
With the help of the Fire Cloud Cave, which suppressed the providence of the human race, he had preserved the divine items he had gathered until today.
Only then did he have the capital to develop his Immortal Ascension plan.
“Junior who has inherited the Human Emperor’s will, you indeed know a lot.”
“Then you should know that this is the apricot yellow flag. You can’t break it.”
Jiang Ziya raised his hand and pointed. A small glowing yellow flag was fluttering above the Forest of Origin.
This apricot yellow flag was probably the strongest among Jiang Shang’s artifacts.
An unparalleled defense could allow him to be invincible at any time!
“Although I was punished by the heavens and severed the bloodline of the Human Emperor, the three emperors are also my benefactors. I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Hand over the Jade Cauldron’s remains. After I become an immortal, I’ll let you enter the Fire Cloud Cave.”
The phantom of Jiang Shang in the membrane of light had an indifferent expression. He stood behind the apricot yellow flag and looked straight at Jiang Li who was holding the Human Emperor’s Halberd.
He sighed slightly as he looked at Jiang Li, and he seemed to have recalled the heroic figure of the second and third-generation disciples of the Chan School that stood before the army by himself during the final battle all those years ago and caused them to cover their heads and scurry away.
It was undeniable that King Zhou was a powerful Human Emperor.
However, under the chessboard of the Sages, what could he change?
Now, it was the same.
Jiang Shang had planned for a hundred thousand years.
What could a fledgling successor of the Human Emperor who could never be promoted change in front of him?
When he heard Jiang Ziya, Jiang Li smiled and put away the jade tooth.
It was obvious that he rejected this suggestion.
Boom!
A ball of dense flames attacked from behind. Even Jiang Li, who had excellent fire resistance, felt an enormous danger from it.
He could only flash to the side and spit out a large amount of cold qi to stop the flames from spreading. Only then did he dodge the attack.
It was the Five Flames Seven Birds Fan. It could unleash the air flame, stone flame, wood flame, Samadhi flame, and human flame.
Any one of them could injure Jiang Li. The combination of the five flames naturally made him unable to avoid it.
However, there was more than one person with longevity around Jiang Li.
After dodging the five flames, another fire staff smashed over, and the Divine Sharp Fire Spear stabbed at his waist.
Jiang Li picked up the sealed shield to block the strike and used the Broken-Wing Spear to push aside the fire spear.
Holding three weapons and a shield, he fought with the nine people with longevity.
The strength of these Immortals was not considered top-notch. There were only two who had reached the level of Three Flowers Gathering and Five Qi Facing Origin.
The others were basically all high-grade Divine Judgment leaders.
Under the state of going berserk, coupled with the incomparably offensive Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd in his hand, he should be able to barely deal with it for a period of time.
However, the artifacts in their hands were all ancient divine weapons.
Under the siege of nine against one, it brought unprecedented pressure on Jiang Li.
In just two breaths, more than a hundred wounds appeared on his body.
Even if Jiang Li was not afraid of expenditure or damage, there was still the Flesh Mountain Lord beside him.
His body still became more and more miserable.
The Sharp Fire Spear stabbed into his body and spat out flames inside.
The Invisible Dragon Rod struck his head, and nine dragons rushed in to bite his soul.
The Hook of Wu pierced through his internal organs.
The Heart Piercing Nail pierced through his beating heart.
Each of these divine artifacts could bring him terrifying damage.
With an explosion, the lowest quality Bloodthirsty Trident in Jiang Li’s hand could not withstand it first and broke apart.
The One Qi Water Fire Staff smashed into Jiang Li’s head.
The dignified Fengdu City Lord fell from the sky in a sorry state.
He was carried by the nine people with longevity and pressed into the Origin Forest.
The pale Jiang Ziya looked down at Jiang Li who was lying on the ground.
However, he was not angry at Jiang Li’s accusation.
His face looked a little excited.
“Junior, give up. There’s nothing you want in the Fire Cloud Cave.”
“The Human Emperor has long disappeared. However, I can give you another chance!”
Jiang Ziya, who had the absolute advantage, actually began to rope Jiang Li in.
Jiang Shang was not from this era.
Over the years, no matter how talented people appeared in the continent of the Nine Provinces, none of them could be taken seriously by him.
This was because how could he, who had seen the glory of ancient times, be moved by a few sparrows pecking and jumping on the ground?
No one could even understand what he said.
However, just as he was about to become an immortal, Jiang Li appeared.
He was highly suspicious that this was also a person who had lived since ancient times. At the very least, he had obtained the memories of an ancient person.
He could understand what he was saying!
It made Jiang Shang feel as if he had found a confidant.
He was not like those ignorant people who only treated him as a lunatic.
“Cough cough! What chance can you give me by giving up the Human Emperor’s inheritance?”
“Can you let me become an immortal? Even you can’t become an immortal now, right?”
“It will take at least two thousand years to become an immortal in the continent of the Nine Provinces.”
Jiang Li coughed out the blood in his throat and did not struggle.
He looked at them and took away the jade tooth in his arms and the weapon and shield in his hand.
Then, he calmly asked Jiang Ziya what benefits he could give him. It was as if he was not a captive at all.
“Not bad, you’re indeed not bad!”
“In 2,000 years, or perhaps 1,800 years, the first Immortal God will be born in this world.”
“Furthermore, it can only be the lowest-grade Essence Immortal! To be able to calculate this, you’re indeed extraordinary!”
When he heard Jiang Li’s judgment of the progress of the spiritual qi recovery, Jiang Ziya’s eyes lit up, and he admired this junior even more.
Although Jiang Li had destroyed some of his arrangements and overturned the Armored Troll Court that he had run for thousands of years, those were only minor details that were harmless.
“But what if I want to become an extraordinary immortal beyond that?”
Jiang Ziya’s words carried a hint of bragging.
After all, he enjoyed the wealth and reputation of the world to begin with. It was very normal for him to be greedy for this bit of vanity.
“What do you mean?”
Jiang Li’s injuries had recovered by 30% and he was just about to attack when he heard this and stopped.
He wanted to see what plan this old fellow had prepared after so many years.
“Since you know about the Divine Investiture Tribulation, you should also know that the Divine Investiture Battle is only a game between a few Sages.”
“Everyone below the Sages was an ant. At that time, the Immortals and Buddhas were no different from the people of the world in front of them.”
It was clearly not the Shang Dynasty that Jiang Shang felt indignant about.
What made him dissatisfied and unwilling was the inability to become a god after the war.
“But it’s different now!”
“The Gods and Buddhas that filled the sky were endlessly greedy and angered the Heavenly Dao.”
With a flip of his hand, the other eleven Golden Immortal remains appeared.
“Do you see that? This is the Cultivationless Age!”
“The more these Golden Immortals and Sages obtained, the faster they perished. The higher they stood, the harder they fell.”
“They have completely disappeared from this world.”
“But I survived!”
“After all, I couldn’t become an immortal!”
Jiang Ziya held the remains of his twelve senior brothers with an extremely complicated expression.
He did not know if he should be sadder or happier.
“Their disappearance made room for us!”
“How about it? Join me. After I cultivate to become an Immortal Ancestor, I’ll give you the Deity Position!”
As Jiang Ziya spoke, he became more and more excited. The phantom raised its hand and emitted a golden light.
The ancient lingzhi that covered a thousand miles shook and suddenly blossomed like a flower petal.
