Twenty years later, Jiang Chen successfully broke through to the upper tier of the Divine Dao. Powerful celestial phenomena erupted across the entire Divine Abyss Continent, shocking every corner of the land.
The people around Jiang Chen, having benefited from his guidance, also advanced at a rapid pace, their strength surging dramatically. The whole of human territory had entered a virtuous cycle, accelerating onto the fast track of development.
Within the Glazed Palace, Jiang Chen opened his eyes. The seventh seal ring shattered, and a scroll fell before him.
Jiang Chen was taken aback — the treasure from the seventh ring was actually a scroll!
He unrolled it, and his memories seemed to drift back to his previous life. Inside the scroll was a painting. Five characters were written upon it: Four Symbols True Spirit Diagram.
The Four Symbols True Spirit Diagram?
Jiang Chen was astonished. The Four Symbols True Spirits — weren't those the Four Divine Beast True Spirits? Could this diagram be connected to the Four Divine Beasts?
After carefully contemplating it, a look of delight spread across his face.
Sure enough, the Four Symbols True Spirit Diagram had been tailor-made for those four Divine Beast True Spirits.
"Father… Father, it seems that the Divine Abyss Continent, my reincarnation here — it was all arranged by your hand. This Four Symbols True Spirit Diagram must have been prepared by you long ago. The bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts were surely placed on this continent by you as well? Otherwise, how could such an ordinary plane as the Divine Abyss Continent possibly possess the bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts?"
In this moment, Jiang Chen gained a great deal of new understanding.
The Four Symbols True Spirit Diagram was no ordinary treasure. It contained the primordial spirits of all true spirits across the heavens. If the Four Divine Beast True Spirits were to study it, they would surely be able to continuously comprehend the essence of true spirits, reaching the supreme level of the heavens, allowing their bloodlines to evolve endlessly until they reached the pinnacle.
Of course, the Four Symbols True Spirit Diagram served a purpose beyond even that — it also contained the profound mysteries of the Four Divine Beast True Spirits giving rise to the heavens and reforging the Five Elements.
"To become a Heavenly Emperor, one must obtain the Token of Heavenly Creation and be able to refine a great world of the heavens on one's own. Perhaps the ability of the Four Divine Beast True Spirits to give rise to the heavens is precisely my opportunity."
Jiang Chen's vision had now expanded far beyond the Divine Abyss Continent. His ambitions were increasingly directed toward the great worlds of the heavens.
Naturally, he was in no rush to venture into the greater worlds. In truth, he still had no idea how to reach the Grand Abyss World of his previous life.
But Jiang Chen was not anxious. He felt that all of this would reveal its answer in due time.
Rather than overthinking it, he would rather remain on the Divine Abyss Continent, spend precious time with the family of this life, and enjoy the rare peace of the world.
Another hundred years passed, and Jiang Chen's cultivation broke through once more. This time, he reached the eighth level of the Divine Dao.
The eighth level of the Divine Dao caused the second-to-last of his nine seal rings to shatter apart.
This time, what Jiang Chen received was a weapon. It was a sword of regal bearing — the personal blade of his father from his previous life.
"Who would have thought that only at the eighth seal did Father finally give me a true weapon. This is Father's own sword, and also his token. Its name is Cosmic Apex — a treasure approaching the level of a Token of Creation, one that could rank among the top five on the Heavenly Creation Ranking."
Jiang Chen was overjoyed. Seeing his father's sword, he had a feeling that the moment of truth was drawing near.
