Chapter 100: Emperor Weapon Mirror, Undercurrents
“Ding, congratulations on successfully slacking off, you have obtained the Emperor Weapon Mirror!”
At Banished Immortal Peak, Jiang Chen suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open in shock.
“Damn, there are rewards for this too? And it’s an Emperor Weapon Weapon!”
Jiang Chen was stunned. He had braced himself for no rewards after revealing the conspiracy of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit to his master. Who knew that he would still get a reward now?
“What’s going on?” Jiang Chen asked. This didn’t count as slacking off, did it? Yet, there were rewards for it.
“If it’s not the host personally taking action, it still counts as slacking off, but the rewards will be much lower!” came the system’s slowly transmitted voice.
Jiang Chen’s eyelids twitched. This counted too?
“This is still quite a low reward. If I had completely ignored it, wouldn’t the reward have been an Immortal Artifact?”
“Forget it, this reward is enough, and compared to my master’s tragic death, this ending is clearly better!”
Initially, he had some regrets. But thinking back to the catastrophe of the Primordial Holy Land in the original story, Jiang Chen felt it was extremely worthwhile.
Even if it were an Immortal Artifact, if his master and the others had died, it would have taken away too much of the fun.
Moreover, the most important point was that an Emperor Weapon was not bad either. He could practically strut around the Nine Heavens Realm.
“An Emperor Weapon coupled with the Dao Fruit! It seems I should be able to strut around in the Nine Heavens Realm now!” Jiang Chen mused, touching his chin.
He definitely wouldn’t refine the Dao Fruit, but he could use some of its abilities. With some abilities of the Dao Fruit, he could display formidable combat strength, and together with an Emperor Weapon Weapon, he couldn’t even imagine it. Even Great Saintss would have to avoid him.
“But this incident reminds me, from now on, as long as I don’t take action personally, there will be rewards!”
“But it’s best to completely slack off! That way, the rewards will be richer!” Jiang Chen smiled slightly, extremely satisfied.
This incident didn’t leave much regret. It was a rather satisfactory conclusion. He had prepared so much, his master and the others must have been safe, and he also got a reward.
For this battle, Jiang Chen prepared a lot. Not only did the Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty bring the Emperor Weapon, but the Primordial Holy Land and the Pure Yang Holy Land also brought theirs. They just didn’t use them. The situation at that time didn’t warrant their use.
“I wonder when master will return!” Jiang Chen, with his legs crossed and hands supporting the back of his head, thought comfortably.
In the Undying Phoenix Clan.
Within the vast world, there stood a colossal Sky-reaching Great Tree, its immense size almost equivalent to the entire world. Its value extended into the void, piercing the void as if feeding off the entire world.
Amidst the branches of the Sky-reaching Great Tree, there existed countless magnificent palaces. Innumerable palaces nestled in the branches of the tree like leaves.
At the highest point, a grand palace sat, shining like the great sun, illuminating the entire world.
“The clan leader is back!” Seeing a figure emerge from the void, a kindly-faced elder quickly spoke. He was the third elder of the Undying Phoenix Clan.
“Third elder, summon the other elders! I have an announcement to make!” Huang Tian, with a towering physique and unpredictable eyes, sparkled with unique brilliance.
“Yes!” Upon hearing this, the third elder immediately responded and then vanished.
A few minutes later, more than a dozen figures emerged from the void. Each exuded a vast and deep aura. All of them possessed extraordinary strength. The weakest among them was Saint Kings, but most of them were at the level of Great Saints. They were the backbone of the current Undying Phoenix Clan and its strongest batch of cultivators.
“Clan leader, what matter brings you here? Has that matter been settled?” The fourth elder of the Undying Phoenix Clan, one of the few aware of Huang Tian’s cooperation with the Primordial Holy Master, was the first to speak up.
Initially, he strongly opposed it, but couldn’t stand against Huang Tian’s insistence.
“It’s done! The Primordial Holy Master was well-prepared, and all four factions fell, leaving no survivors!”
“The Gu family, the Soaring Snake Clan, and the Extreme Path Demon Sect’s Great Saintss all perished, and the Heavenly Demons also lost two Great Saintss. This battle claimed the lives of nine Great Saintss!” Huang Tian did not conceal anything and spoke frankly.
His words exploded like a bomb, stirring immense waves. Everyone present was unable to remain seated. The fall of nearly ten Great Saintss was an explosively shocking news at any time, especially in this era where the fall of Great Saintss was rare. Even the fall of a single Great Saints was a world-shaking event.
“Nine Great Saintss falling, how can this be?” asked the Clan Leader, puzzled.
“Why did three parties suffer such heavy losses of Great Saintss?” Some of the elders were deeply confused, not aware of the inside story.
“Not long ago, the Primordial Holy Master contacted me, asking for my help,” explained the Clan Leader.
“Did you agree?” someone inquired.
“I did,” replied Huang Tian, nonchalantly. “I made a deal with her, one that I couldn’t refuse.”
“She tasked me with eliminating the Great Saintss of the Soaring Snake Clan and to take full control over them,” he continued. “And there are some matters regarding the True Dragon Clan.”
Mentioning the True Dragon Clan, a mix of longing and hatred flickered in the Clan Leader’s eyes.
“This is unwise,” an elder protested, sweating profusely. “If we kill the Soaring Snake’s Great Saintss and the news gets out, it will bring shame to our Undying Phoenix Clan, not to mention the watchful eyes of the True Dragon Clan. It could give them an opportunity!”
Originally, the True Dragon Clan had considered them a thorn in their side, always looking for a chance to annihilate them, but they never found the right opportunity. Now, was the Clan Leader’s action not handing them the perfect chance?
“There is no need to worry so much,” Huang scoffed coldly. “The True Dragon Clan wouldn’t dare to make a move. Moreover, this is an opportunity. If I didn’t agree, to whom do you think the Soaring Snake Clan would turn?”
“You don’t have to remind me that the human race wouldn’t dare to attack the ancient imperial clans,” he continued with a sneer.
“The actions of the Primordial Holy Master from eight thousand years ago have already shown us these lunatics don’t fear the so-called ancient imperial clans. Haven’t the bloody events of the past awakened you?”
