Chapter 2080 – Against Conscience
Demonic Immortal Island was as peaceful as usual. Being the hegemon of the Ocean Domain, almost none of the marine leaders dared to challenge the prestige of the Demonic Immortal Island.
When Jiang Chen came to Demonic Immortal Island, he didn’t face any hindrances as he was the Chosen One’s good friend and also Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign’s sworn brother. Going to Demonic Immortal Island was like going back to his own home. Who would dare stop him?
“Brother, you are here! It has been a long time since we last met. Your advancement in cultivation realm is really terrifying.”
Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign could not help heaving a long sigh. For him, the first time he met Jiang Chen was just like yesterday. Jiang Chen had grown so much within such a short period of time. This had really startled him.
“Big brother, the catastrophe is about to arrive. The Barbarian World will attack soon. So, Demonic Immortal Island should also get ready for that.”
Jiang Chen did not waste his time talking about insignificant matters. To ensure Demonic Immortal Island have sufficient preparation, he informed Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign about the news that the Barbarian World would kick start the war soon.
“They are here finally. Actually, I can’t wait to see how strong the barbarians of the Barbarian World are.”
The imposing manner of Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign was emitted along his words. He had been a fearless and ambitious man who was born in the chaotic era. He had been the bigwig of the Demonic Immortal Island for too long and he could not bear spending his days without any challenges coming to him anymore. Having a great war against the Barbarian World was precisely what he wished for.
“Once the war begins, big brother will be the pioneering existence of the Immortal World. You’ll play a very significant role in this war,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Those Barbarian Sovereigns on the same level as Heavenly Peng Demong Sovereign was not a match for him. Not to mention the Sovereign Domain, Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign definitely was the main strength in the coming catastrophe.
“Oh ya, where is the monkey? Why I don’t see him here?”
Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity. Dragon Shisan should be the first one who would come to welcome his arrival.
“Shisan went to the Ancestral Grave again. He’s going to inherit all the things that the first generation Saintess left. This is a great opportunity for him. Once he comes out, he might become much more terrifying than me. The Saintess’ insight is really vicious,” said Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign.
“Of course, monkey has the formidable Battle Saint Ape bloodline. Basically, he was an unparalleled genius,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
As the great war was about to arrive, what Jiang Chen worried the most were his brothers. At this moment, the monk was in God Suppressing Monument, Han Yan went in the Devil Mountain, and Dragon Shisan in the Ancestral Land of Demonic Immortal Island. Since all of them were becoming stronger and stronger nowadays, Jiang Chen was finally relieved. Once the war arrives, all of them could undertake the situation in their own unique way.
After a while, Jiang Chen also met Xiao Wangqing. They chatted for a while before Jiang Chen left the Demonic Immortal Island.
The next stop was the Fengluo Sect.
Fengluo Sect was the most significant stop for Jiang Chen because his father was there. The moment the war begins, Jiang Chen had to ensure Jiang ZhenHai’s safety. No matter where his father stayed, he would not be safe with his current cultivation realm the moment the catastrophe descends.
The only safe place in the world for Jiang ZhenHai was inside the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda.
The Ancestral Dragon Pagoda and Jiang Chen were one. As long as Jiang Chen was alive and the pagoda was not destroyed, Jiang ZhenHai would be safe hiding inside Ancestral Dragon Pagoda.
Jiang Chen had to safeguard his father even at the cost of his life because he was the most important person in the world to Jiang Chen.
He did not wish for Jiang ZhenHai to gain any experience from the catastrophe, neither did he wish Jiang Zhenhai to advance his cultivation realm from a catastrophe such as this.
No matter if Jiang ZhenHai was strong or his cultivation realm was high was not important at all to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen only cared if Jiang ZhenHai was safe or not. He would not risk his father’s life because he could not afford to lose his father.
Jiang ZhenHai had a very significant role in Jiang Chen’s heart. He was his only family member. He only wish that Jiang Zhenhai could live well and safely in this world, then Jiang Chen would be at ease.
Jiang Chen did not stay long at Fengluo Sect, instead, he brought Jiang ZhenHai away directly. Before he left, he casted a layer of defence in the sky above Fengluo Sec to keep Fengluo Sec from destruction.
What Jiang Chen could do for the Immortal Court was actually very little. It was impossible for him to take care of every single place in the Immortal Court.
This was a catastrophe. A catastrophe of the Immortal World, so none of them could escape from it. This was the Heavenly Dao Metempsychosis. Even if Jiang Chen was a savior, he could not eradicate the whole Barbarian Race without anyone dying.
Doing things in his utmost effort and leaving no regrets was what Jiang Chen could only do. He would do everything he could do.
After the catastrophe, a brand new era would come. After experiencing the catastrophe, the Immortal World would definitely become more prosperous.
After bringing Jiang ZhenHai away from Fengluo Sect, Jiang Chen returned to Fengchi Immortal Court.
As soon as he arrived in the Immortal Court, the first thing he did was to call for an emergency meeting.
All of the master of the Immortal Court gathered at the hall: Heaven Sovereign, Feng Jingyang, Ling Liqun, Yu Huafan…
Jiang Chen explained that the Barbarian World would start the war very soon. Everyone on the scene immediately sensed the rising wind, foreboding the coming storm. They all knew that the real turbulence is coming soon, and none of them could escape even with the skin of their teeth
They must be well-prepared for the coming battle. The coming catastrophe was not the same as their previous battles. This would be a war between two different worlds. They had to put the past grudges behind. Starting from today, all of the people of the Immortal World must stay united because the Barbarian Race was their only enemy.
“I have missed out the previous catastrophe. I must open my eyes and experience it this time.”
Heaven Sovereign’s imposing manner was overwhelming, and his eyes gave out radiance. He showed no fear at all on his face. He was like Heavenly Peng Demon Sovereign. They were both lords who loved battles and wars.
“One must go through a life-and-death struggle in order to grow. It goes the same to either a person or a world. The Immortal World is facing its own hardship to grow, and all of us are part of it.”
Feng Jingyang said. Feng Jingyang has already become a Sixth Grade Great Sovereign now. With his capability, he should have advanced to the Sixth Grade Great Sovereign earlier. That’s why Jiang Chen was not surprised at all regarding his advancement to the Sixth Grade Great Sovereign.
“Ah Nan, where’s Big Yellow? Why I haven’t I seen him here?”
Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity as he had not seen Big Yellow’s silhouette yet.
“ Eh-hem…”
Mentioning about Big Yellow, Nangong Wentian suddenly gave a discreet cough. Others started looking awkward, and some even started making noise. It seemed like Big Yellow had caused trouble.
“That damn dog had sneaked into the treasure house of our Immortal Court and devoured all the spiritual essence. He is now sleeping soundly.”
Nangong Wentian said unhappily.
Hmmmm…
Jiang Chen was dumbstruck, then held his forehead with his hands. He finally came to know why some of the people were making those awkward noise. Big Yellow had done this kind of despicable matter.
This guy had stolen all the rare essence in the treasure house. If Heaven Sovereign was not there, Big Yellow’s skin probably would have been peeled by others.
“Hmm, the essence and panacea don’t matter much. When the Barbarian World attack us, what matters is our strength to fight them. I think Big Yellow’s cultivation realm must have improved a lot by now. This is not a bad thing to us.”
Jiang Chen said, against his conscience.
