Dragon-Marked War God

“Maybe the Western-pole Divine Land has been peaceful for too many years, and many people have forgotten how prosperous the Buddhist Realm used to be. Compared to the Buddhist Realm of the past, today’s Ten Great Temples are like a single hair on nine oxen, not worth mentioning. But more than anything, it’s because of the God Suppressing Monument. A man may be innocent, but carrying a jade disc is a crime in itself. Even a Reincarnated Living Buddha can’t escape that, because too many people want to get their hands on the God Suppressing Monument. Even our clan’s mission this time is the same. We must obtain the God Suppressing Monument at all costs.”

Lan Luo said in a low voice. She knew she should not be telling Jiang Chen all this, but he really did seem to have no desire to fight for anything at all. She did not know what could have turned Jiang Chen into what he was now.

“What a huge irony. Hehehe.”

Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh. It seemed his guess had been right. If the God Suppressing Monument had appeared, it was most likely the monk. And this God Suppressing Monument was probably a major treasure even in the Divine World. Many great powers were scrambling to get it. That being the case, the monk was naturally in danger.

Although Jiang Chen was not sure if it was the monk, the God Suppressing Monument had always been in the monk’s hands. With his temperament, anyone who tried to snatch the God Suppressing Monument from him would end up in a fight to the death. Killing people was something he could not help. After all, when others wanted your treasure and your life, who would just put their hands up and surrender? “If I don’t go to hell, who will?” Even the Buddha himself probably would not believe words like that.

Having just entered the Western-pole Divine Land, Jiang Chen was still completely in the dark. He had just destroyed Tianlai Boundary, flattened Tongyou Boundary and suppressed Penglai Boundary. He did not want to make too much of a stir anymore. A tall tree catches the wind. Moreover, ever since he had lost all news of Yan Qingcheng and Wu Ningzhu, Jiang Chen’s heart had sunk into silence once again. He felt urgently that his strength was too weak. He had to raise his strength as soon as possible and find his brother. News of the monk was right in front of him, and Jiang Chen did not want to miss it.

“By the way, why didn’t you come with the Profound Connection Divine Palace? I heard that among those invited to this gathering by the Ten Great Temples, the Profound Connection Divine Palace was also on the list.”

Lan Luo asked.

“I’ve already left the Profound Connection Divine Palace.”

Jiang Chen said indifferently. Lan Luo did not ask any further. Jiang Chen did not seem to want to say more.

“When we get to Zhongsheng Temple, just stick with us. I know how strong you are, but whatever you do, don’t provoke that guy in black. You’re no match for him. He’s a bit hostile toward you, but with me here, he shouldn’t make a move on a whim. You can rest assured about that. We’re gathering at Zhongsheng Temple. Half of the Eight Great Clans have come. Four great clans are already here: the Battle God Clan, the Xuanyuan Clan, the God Luo Clan and our Mu Clan.”

“The God Luo Clan? The God Luo Clan is coming too?”

Jiang Chen raised his brows. Big Yellow suddenly came to mind. Could that guy really be so happy there that he had forgotten all about home? He had completely forgotten about Jiang Chen. Ever since entering the Divine World, he had lost all contact. Jiang Chen had wanted to go to the God Luo Clan to look for Big Yellow, but now he had run into people from the God Luo Clan coming here. This time, he had to find out about Big Yellow from the people of the God Luo Clan. Thinking back to when one man and one dog roamed freely across the Nine Region Immortal World, Jiang Chen missed it terribly. When would those days ever come back?

“Yes. Do you know the God Luo Clan?”

Lan Luo had not expected Jiang Chen to know quite a lot about the Eight Great Clans.

“Not really, but I have a friend in the God Luo Clan. I just don’t know whether he’s doing well there now.”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“The Battle God Clan has a grudge against you, so you should be even more careful.”

Lan Luo reminded him. Jiang Chen’s going to Zhongsheng Temple with them this time carried very obvious dangers. If they ran into people from the Battle God Clan, a conflict would probably be hard to avoid.

“Thanks.”

Jiang Chen nodded, feeling a trace of gratitude toward Lan Luo. Although they had had quite a few grudges and entanglements before, in his eyes now, all of that had faded.

Zhongsheng Temple was right in front of them, and Jiang Chen had already made all his preparations. Once he found the monk, if anyone tried to harm him, so what if he had to make an enemy of the whole world? Although Jiang Chen had sunk into silence here, it did not mean he had lost his will. It was just that he understood better how to endure, how to judge the situation and how to climb to the peak step by step.

Everyone had their own stages in life. From the Saint Origin World to the Nine Region Immortal World and then to the Divine World, Jiang Chen had walked this far step by step. He had gone through too many storms, sorrows and joys, partings and reunions. But at least he had never let his family and loved ones down. Since entering the Divine World, though, every step he took had become harder and harder.

It is easy for a person to become weak, but hard to become strong. Whoever wants to wear the crown must bear its weight. First, you must have a heart that strives upward and a belief that will not bend however many times it is beaten.

He had once been infinitely glorious, and he had also been utterly desolate. He had once shone brilliantly, and he had also fallen into the abyss. He had once stood at the summit of the Nine Region Immortal World looking down on all living beings, and he had also looked up at the heavens from the very bottom of the Divine World like an ant. He had cried, laughed, hurt and struggled. At this moment, Jiang Chen had long since shed that superficial glamour and become more restrained. He cultivated his edge in his heart and his Dao through his actions.

The young man in black glanced at Jiang Chen. The special treatment Lan Luo gave him made the young man in black quite displeased. But as an expert, he naturally had an expert’s pride and dignity. He would not lower himself to fight a guy at the Mid Hierarch Realm. Where would his dignity be if he did? Killing Jiang Chen would take him no more than a single palm, but he could not be bothered. If it made Lan Luo unhappy, then there would be no point to it.

“A man should know his place. You’re not worthy of Lan Luo at all. Stay away from her from now on. You should know very well that if I wanted to kill you, you’d be in the palm of my hand. You couldn’t escape. But since you’re her friend, I’ll let you off. That doesn’t mean you can show up by her side as you please. On this trip to Zhongsheng Temple, you’d better watch yourself.”

The young man in black said through voice transmission. Jiang Chen glanced at him and smiled. To a person like that, he had nothing to say. Besides, he had no interest in Lan Luo at all. His heart was as still as water now. There was no denying that Lan Luo was beautiful, but Jiang Chen was not the kind of man who fell for every woman he met.

When the young man in black looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes were full of disregard. That someone like Jiang Chen could even attract his attention was a blessing earned over ten lifetimes. If he dared to go against him, it would be no different from seeking his own death.

Zhongsheng Temple, one of the Ten Great Temples of the Western-pole Divine Land, was even stronger than Tianluo Temple and Temple Hong Yan. The Mu Clan, one of the Eight Great Clans, had been invited to Zhongsheng Temple, no doubt to strengthen Zhongsheng Temple’s hand. And although the Ten Great Temples were joining forces this time, there was bound to be a storm brewing among them.
