Chapter 1635: One thousand sixty-seven Conspiracy_2
"Everyone, disperse. There’s nothing more to see here. Next, I’ll be moving Kunlun Mountain. You’d best avoid this area to preserve the dignity of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign."
After the departure of the two saints, Jiang Chen addressed the Great Divine Transcendents lurking in the shadows, urging them to leave as well.
"Haha..."
In the unknown void, someone let out a laugh. Subsequently, the Great Divine Transcendents observing from the sidelines withdrew their gazes.
Watching the ridicule of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was amusing enough for them, but going too far might provoke his ire and invite retribution in the future.
Boom!
Just as everyone’s attention shifted away, Jiang Chen made his move. With earth-shaking force, Kunlun Mountain’s hundred and eight peaks, along with thousands of innate spiritual peaks nearby, were uprooted and suspended in midair.
At that moment, terrifying auras erupted from the direction of Dongsheng Divine Continent.
"Star Lord, you’ve overstepped your bounds!"
"If you want to move Kunlun Mountain, then move it, but why disturb the innate spiritual veins of Dongsheng Divine Continent?"
From afar, a supreme saint from Dongsheng Divine Continent shouted angrily toward Jiang Chen.
His fury was understandable—watching the drama unfold was one thing, but now Jiang Chen had implicated them. In the process of moving Kunlun Mountain, Jiang Chen had inadvertently drawn away several innate spiritual veins of Dongsheng Divine Continent, leaving the Great Divine Transcendents residing there unable to tolerate his actions.
Dongsheng Divine Continent was envisioned as the foundation for building the Immortal World in the future. Its importance was unquestionable, and no damage, however minor, could be allowed. Each innate spiritual vein was an invaluable treasure.
By taking away Dongsheng Divine Continent’s innate spiritual veins, Jiang Chen was undeniably undermining its foundation.
The slight impact now might escalate into a fatal flaw when Dongsheng Divine Continent transforms into the Immortal World, potentially preventing it from being perfected.
Thus, the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent couldn’t remain silent and had to stand up to stop Jiang Chen.
Moving Kunlun Mountain was an internal conflict among the Sanqing; they had no grounds to intervene. But attempting to seize Dongsheng Divine Continent’s innate spiritual veins was a direct affront to their interests—completely unacceptable.
"Dongsheng Divine Continent’s innate spiritual veins?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen glanced at Kunlun Mountain’s peaks before him, his eyes filled with confusion. For all his audacity, he wouldn’t stoop so low as to exploit Dongsheng Divine Continent.
Moreover, if he truly intended to target Dongsheng Divine Continent, he wouldn’t settle for merely taking a few innate spiritual veins. If he didn’t cause devastating harm, it wouldn’t live up to his infamous reputation.
"The periphery of Kunlun Mountain, among its thousands of innate spiritual peaks, includes territory belonging to Dongsheng Divine Continent. Additionally, many of Dongsheng Divine Continent’s innate spiritual veins originate from the innate spiritual peaks around Kunlun Mountain, deriving from Kunlun’s ancestral vein."
"By relocating Kunlun Mountain, its ancestral vein’s influence will be lost, inevitably affecting Dongsheng Divine Continent."
"For now, these impacts remain bearable for the various Daoists involved. But if the Star Lord moves all thousands of innate spiritual peaks near Kunlun Mountain as well, without their support, Dongsheng Divine Continent will suffer grave harm, if not outright collapse."
"That’s why they couldn’t stay silent."
A Great Divine Transcendent from Kunlun quietly explained to Jiang Chen, seeing that he genuinely seemed unaware.
With this explanation, Jiang Chen understood.
Kunlun Mountain, as the Oriental ancestral vein, was far more than just the supreme sacred mountain—it underpinned all spiritual veins in the eastern regions.
Without this, how could it be called an ancestral vein?
The capacity of Kunlun Mountain to generate spiritual veins ensured that proximity brought greater benefits. The thousands of top-tier innate spiritual peaks around it had all derived from its ancestral vein.
Being high-level innate spiritual peaks, these peaks also possessed the ability to spawn spiritual veins that extended outward—forming the basis of Dongsheng Divine Continent.
Among the Four Continents, Dongsheng Divine Continent had the closest proximity to Kunlun Mountain, thus enjoying the greatest advantages and possessing the deepest foundation.
Now, Jiang Chen intended to move Kunlun Mountain—eliminating the main advantage of Dongsheng Divine Continent. Even if the Great Divine Transcendents residing there wished to prevent this, they had no grounds to intervene and could only watch helplessly.
Fortunately, although Kunlun Mountain was being relocated, the numerous innate spiritual veins it had spawned remained intact. With these continuing to evolve and form new veins, the loss of Kunlun Mountain, though severe, wouldn’t be irreparable.
However, who would have thought Jiang Chen’s actions would be so ruthless? Not content with moving Kunlun Mountain, he sought to seize the thousands of surrounding innate spiritual peaks—directly attacking the core interests of Dongsheng Divine Continent. Thus, resistance became inevitable.
"I see!"
Nodding, Jiang Chen signaled his understanding before ignoring the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent entirely and resuming his previous actions.
Claiming that these innate spiritual peaks belonged to Dongsheng Divine Continent—did saying so make it true? They were clearly part of Kunlun Mountain; otherwise, why would they be connected as a unified whole?
Thousands of innate spiritual peaks—such immense benefits were not something Jiang Chen would relinquish to Dongsheng Divine Continent merely on their protesting words. That would truly make him a fool.
"Star Lord, don’t push us too far!"
Seeing Jiang Chen ignore them and continue his move with an air of indifference, another supreme saint materialized, threatening him harshly.
"Everyone, the ownership of these innate spiritual peaks isn’t something that can be resolved quickly. I don’t want to argue about this with you."
"If anyone disagrees, feel free to challenge me. If you win, then it will be as you say. If not, I ask you to keep your silence."
Jiang Chen, unwilling to waste words, simply urged them to make their move.
In the end, might makes right. If there’s conflict, it’s simply a matter of whose fists are stronger; the one wielding the greater strength dictates the truth.
"You..."
Jiang Chen’s words left the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent speechless.
Wasn’t this pointless rhetoric? If they could defeat Jiang Chen, there’d be no need for veiled threats—they would have already acted. Their hesitation stemmed solely from the knowledge that he was beyond their capabilities.
With Jiang Chen’s current power, those capable of surpassing him in the Prehistoric World were few indeed. And among the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent, not one could hope to challenge him.
If a peerless expert existed among them, they wouldn’t need to rely on their plans to forge the Immortal World and strengthen themselves. Dongsheng Divine Continent might house supreme saints, but at best, their strength was limited to three or four Tao-path achievements—no more.
True supremacy, akin to seven or eight Tao-path achievements, would warrant concern from even the saints. Such figures wouldn’t focus on building the Immortal World merely to seek enlightenment; they might aim to ascend to emperorhood, becoming Immortal Emperors.
If a legitimate Immortal Emperor emerged, it would rival the likes of Di Jun. Saints wouldn’t dare be indifferent—a Tao-forging emperor affects fate itself, a force no one dares overlook.
"Hmph. Star Lord, you’ll regret this."
Knowing they were no match for Jiang Chen, further confrontation would only invite humiliation. Frustrated, they left behind a parting threat before vanishing from sight.
Jiang Chen paid them no mind, carrying Kunlun Mountain as he journeyed toward the Nine States.
...
......
Meanwhile, in the heartland of Dongsheng Divine Continent, the departed Great Divine Transcendents gathered together once more.
"Sigh, this is troublesome."
"With Kunlun Mountain relocated, Dongsheng Divine Continent is critically affected, perhaps crippled."
"Yet, this alone isn’t the gravest issue. No matter the extent of the loss, with our collective efforts, there’s still hope for recovery."
"What truly alarms us is the Star Lord’s increasing power. Once we were barely able to contain him—but now, even if we join forces, we may not be able to stop him."
"His strength poses a direct threat, standing firmly against us. For our grand plan, this is highly unfavorable. If we cannot eliminate him, the dream of forging the Immortal World is nothing but an illusion, utterly unattainable."
The gathered Great Divine Transcendents worriedly expressed their concerns. Jiang Chen’s display of power today had shaken their confidence, leaving the success of their aspirations in doubt.
Yet abandoning their plans was inconceivable. To relinquish their efforts was to dissolve countless years of dedication—an unbearable price for any of them.
