Chapter 1845: 1845

“To be honest with you, Prime Puresmoke, I come from the human domain . I traveled to Myriad Abyss not only for my dao partner Yang Qinghuang, but also to track down the ancient Earth Bodhisattva Sect . It’s serendipity that I chanced upon its heritage here . ”



“What?” Puresmoke paused . Jiang Chen’s real identity was no secret in Eternal Divine Nation, but it was still news to the prime . She was surprised that he came from the human domain .

“I’m about eighty percent sure I can help the Martial Sacred Land eliminate the rebellion, but I have a favor to ask . ”

“What is it?” the prime asked in a low voice .

“I want information about the Great Formation of Heavenly Soul Confinement . You know as well as I that the formation played an important role in the ancient demonic war, which, unfortunately, didn’t do that much damage to the demons .  

“Over the years, the formation has lost its power . I’m looking for information about the formation’s establishment, seeking ways to restore and reactivate it . ” Jiang Chen added seriously, “The formation is crucial to the human race . ”

Puresmoke stared at Jiang Chen blankly, like he was a monster and huffed wryly . “You have tremendous foresight, Sir Jiang Chen . However, given the human race’s ability and wealth, do you really think we’ll be able to activate the formation again?

“In the ancient times, there were the ten great sects . Only through the combined resources and effort of several factions was the formation activated - and with great difficulty . The formation is too large and involves too many aspects . Within the human race, no faction can afford to activate the formation on its own .  

“Even if we manage to gather enough resources, we don’t have the formation masters we need . Formation masters back then were more skilled and powerful than those of today . Even then, activating the formation was extremely taxing and the effort was almost in vain . If the three factions hadn’t worked together, the attempt would’ve never been successful . . . ”

Prime Puresmoke knew the heritage of the Earth Bodhisattva Sect well, including the details of this important formation .

“We’ll find a way to gather the resources, and I can solve the problem of the formation masters,” Jiang Chen responded seriously . “However, I have to first know every little detail about activating the formation, especially the parts the Earth Bodhisattva Sect was responsible for . ”

“The Earth Bodhisattva was the one in charge,” the prime declared proudly . “Even the Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect and the wandering formation master Pei Xing were only assistants . ”



That wasn’t completely accurate . The three factions each had their parts . True, the Earth Bodhisattva Sect had taken on more difficult and large-scale tasks . It was understandable that its descendents would think of the sect as the leader .

“Prime Puresmoke, this is an urgent matter . I’m sure you want to get right down to business as well . I just have one question for you: is there room for negotiation about my request?”

Prime Puresmoke thought for a moment . “Our heritage, especially those from the ancient times, are carefully protected . This seat can’t give you a promise now . You’ll need our divine forefather’s permission . ”

“So I can’t get an answer without talking to the forefather?”

Prime Puresmoke sighed . She didn’t want to turn Jiang Chen down . Deep down, she greatly appreciated the young man and wanted to fulfill his ambitions, but the sacred land had its own rules .

She couldn’t just give outsiders access to their heritage, especially those only the sacred land possessed . The Great Formation of Heavenly Soul Confinement was considered the top most secret within the sacred land .

Puresmoke had access to the information, but she wasn’t authorized to show it to others .

“It looks like Prime Puresmoke doesn’t have the final say, do you?”

“Sir Jiang Chen, vanquishing the rebellion is an urgent matter . In this state of emergency, I may be able to negotiate with you on behalf of the sacred land . In order to save the sacred land, this seat is willing to suffer the punishment if a problem arises in the future . ”

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up in pleasant surprise . “Oh? So you’re agreed?”

“No, no, I only said that I can negotiate with you,” the prime rushed to clarify .



“Is there a difference?” Jiang Chen paused . He was preoccupied with thoughts about the formation and hadn’t considered anything else .

“Yes, there is . You’ve made your conditions clear . Now it’s my turn to bargain with you . ” The prime’s tone was mischievous .

“Please do elaborate . ” Jiang Chen was lost .


“The Great Formation of Heavenly Soul Confinement is recorded in an ancient text in detail . This seat can help you get the information . However, I have one little request for you in addition to helping us stop the rebellion . ”

“What is it?” Jiang Chen asked faintly . If the prime got greedy and asked for more than the sacred land deserved, he’d be very disappointed . This was his test of the prime as well .

Noting the steel in his voice, Prime Puresmoke smiled . “It’s a simple enough request . I only ask for you to agree to a collaboration regarding the Taiyi Dragonscale Fruit . ”

Jiang Chen smiled back in understanding . “You want to increase the fruit’s value through me . ”

“That’s right . The fruit’s value is limited before being refined as the Taiyi Skymender Pill . The Martial Sacred Land is willing to work with you . The split of the profit is negotiable . ”

“What do you propose?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile .

“I’d like to hear your thoughts . ”

Jiang Chen wasn’t opposed to such a deal . He extended five fingers . “I’ll be straight with you . How about half and half?”

That was reasonable . Jiang Chen was contributing his skills, which couldn’t be replaced . It’d make sense for him to even ask for sixty percent of the profit . After all, Taiyi Dragonscale Fruit could be found elsewhere . Although the Martial Sacred Land produced the most, they didn’t have a monopoly over the fruit .

Prime Puresmoke quietly considered the offer . Should she bargain with him and try to increase their share?

She decided against that when she saw Jiang Chen’s expression and smiled . “Alright, half and half . That’s very reasonable . ”

Jiang Chen clasped her hand to seal the deal .

Prime Puresmoke was pleased . “Sir Jiang Chen, I hope you’ll consider the collaboration a friendly exchange rather than a calculated deal . ”

Jiang Chen shrugged . “That’s not important . We each get what we want, don’t we?”

Prime Puresmoke nodded slightly . She knew her decision was risky . If the divine forefather disapproved, she’d be in a world of trouble .

Of course, turning Taiyi Dragonscale Fruit into pills could bring the sacred land great profit in the long term . Her contribution should be able to make up for her wrongdoing .

After all, information about the great formation wasn’t a secret they had to keep . When the demons invaded, they’d have no choice but to release all the information . They wouldn’t even be compensated for their loss . Her deal with Jiang Chen was greatly beneficial for the sacred land .

A weight lifted from Jiang Chen’s heart . He was going to get exactly what he’d been missing . He’d inherited knowledge from both the Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect and Pei Xing, leaving only the Earth Bodhisattva Sect’s part, which was also the most essential .

“Prime Puresmoke, may our collaboration create a new and brighter future for the human race . ” Jiang Chen cupped his hands .

“Good . You’re decisive, young genius . This seat is impressed . However, the text is stored in our headquarters . I won’t be able to give it to you while we’re here . ”

“That’s quite alright . I just ask for the text to be handed to me once the headquarters are liberated . ”

Jiang Chen’s conviction was infectious . Prime Puresmoke declared, “This seat will take this leap with you even though my future is on the line . ”

“Alright, we don’t have time to waste . Let’s come up with a solution to the sacred land’s problem . ” Jiang Chen was driven .

The Martial Sacred Land was in a worse state than the Eternal Sacred Land had been . With the formation heritage from the Earth Bodhisattva Sect, Martial’s defenses were stronger, but it suffered a greater shortage of talents than Eternal .

The Martial Sacred Land had lost its dominance over the nation in terms of absolute power . It wasn’t capable of launching a counter-attack against the rebels .

“The divine experts are locked in a battle . We may disregard them at the moment . That leaves these people as our biggest threats . Forefather Goldenbell has fallen . Now we should go after the remaining three . Once a couple of them die, the rebels will fall apart on their own!”

Apart from the divine forefather, the rebels had four demigod forefathers on their side . The rebellion indeed possessed ridiculous power .

Unlike the rebellion alliance in Eternal Divine Nation, the rebels here only had one divine forefather . However, the four demigods were enough to overwhelm the Martial Sacred Land . After all, they didn’t have as many elites as their counterparts in Eternal .
