Chapter 278: Immemorial Venerable, Demon Fetus Tribulation

Following Concubine Yu’s line of sight, Jiang Che stood in front of the broken medicinal cauldron, trembling. His upper body was naked, and strange blood patterns appeared on the surface of his body, faintly discernible. Every time they appeared, there would be new changes.
“How could this be…’
Jiang Che’s expression was gloomy and his eyes were filled with fear.
At that moment, Jiang Changsheng appeared before him.
When he saw Jiang Changsheng, Jiang Che instinctively punched him.
Bang!
Jiang Changsheng grabbed Jiang Che’s fist and exerted a little force. Jiang Che gasped in pain and knelt before him.
“Who are you..
Concubine Yu cried out in alarm as she looked at Jiang Changsheng’s back.
Jiang Changsheng ignored her and began to examine Jiang Che’s body.
Concubine Yu noticed the small sun behind Jiang Changsheng’s head. She immediately thought of the answer and calmed down, not daring to disturb Jiang Changsheng.
While Jiang Changsheng used his magic powers to regulate Jiang Che’s blood and qi, he asked, “What exactly did you train in?”
Jiang Che felt that he was recovering control over his physical body. He forced a smile and said, “The Sky Stealing Divine Technique is rumored to be one of the Ten Great Divine Arts of the imperial family. However, my blood and qi suddenly flowed backward and my true qi was out of control. There are still many afterimages in my mind, and they seem to be the memories of those ferocious beasts when they were alive.”
Jiang Changsheng could clearly sense the power of karma in Jiang Che’s body. This power of karma was related to the blood essence in his body.
“Sky Stealing Divine Technique… Not bad.”
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself as he listened to Jiang Che recount the Sky Stealing Divine Technique.
The Sky Stealing Divine Technique could steal the bloodline power of other races, making it superior to the Heaven -Deriving Martial Law. The
Heaven-Deriving Martial Law only allowed one to seize the innate ability of ferocious beasts, while the Sky Stealing Divine Technique evolved one’s bloodline. Once mastered, one could steal the bloodline of other living beings in a short period of time, which was faster than the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law.
Jiang Che relied on this technique to steal the bloodline of a long-lived ferocious beast to increase his lifespan.
However, he had plundered too many bloodlines, and there was no lack of those with bad luck. He was involved in too much karma, causing the power of karma to wreak havoc in his body.
That was the weakness of the Sky Stealing Divine Technique.
Perhaps in the hands of the imperial family of the Great Wilderness, they would only steal powerful bloodlines and would not be as reckless as Jiang Che. Over the years, Jiang Che had absorbed nearly a hundred bloodlines. It was simply outrageous.
Most importantly, although his aura was still the same as a human, the essence of his body had changed.
The Sky Stealing Divine Technique could shift the sky and change the sun, making it impossible for the heavens to pry into it.
Jiang Changsheng used his magic power to suppress the power of karma. Fortunately, he had mastered Hell and had long started to comprehend the power of karma. Otherwise, he would not have sensed the existence of the power of karma.
“Don’t continue in the future, or you will lose control of your body. The Sky Stealing Divine Technique is indeed powerful, but unreasonable benefits will also bring about unreasonable drawbacks. Do you understand?” Jiang Changsheng instructed.
Jiang Che nodded with a bitter smile.
Then, Jiang Changsheng asked him to take out the Sky Stealing Divine Technique. Jiang Che immediately asked Concubine Yu to grab it.
The Sky Stealing Divine Technique was recorded on a piece of bone. Jiang Changsheng took it and examined it carefully.
Very soon, he realized that something was amiss. This Sky Stealing Divine Technique was only an incomplete copy.
He told Jiang Che about this discovery. After Jiang Che heard it, he felt a lingering fear, and Concubine Yu felt even more ashamed.
Jiang Changsheng left after saying that. “If this technique was given to you by the Spirit Race, then you have to consider their intentions and see if anyone from the Spirit Race cultivates this technique.”
Concubine Yu stood rooted on the spot while Jiang Che frowned.
In the face of Jiang Che’s gaze, Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not sure if anyone in the Spirit Race is cultivating this technique. I’ll send someone back to investigate…”
She could not help but touch her abdomen, her eyes filled with lingering fear.
Jiang Che originally wanted to question her, but when he saw her actions, he suddenly fell silent.
He recalled Jiang Qing’s words when he was still alive.
Could it be that the Spirit Race had ulterior motives?
Even though the Spirit Race was a sentient race, they were weak and inferior to Great Jing. Jiang Changsheng had calculated that the Spirit Race could not even invite a Heaven and Earth Emperor realm expert to take action. Naturally, he did not care about such a race.
The spiritual wind that Concubine Yu, Lin Haotian, and the other two came into contact with was considered simple. However, since it was a race with intelligence, there must be ambitious people. There were always good and bad people in a race, and Jiang Changsheng was too lazy to personally interfere.
When he returned to the courtyard, he began to meditate.
Half a year later, Jiang Che came.
“According to Concubine Yu’s people, there has been an unforeseen change in the Spirit Race. There are indeed people who want to target the Human Race. The Sky Stealing Divine Technique was obtained by a relative of the Spirit Race royal family…”
Jiang Che forced a smile. He was indeed careless. How could he easily trust a race?
Royal relatives?
Interesting. Even though the Spirit race was weak, their system was still quite solid.
Even though a sparrow was small, it had all the essentials?
Jiang Changsheng said, “Miss Ji, go and take a look. It’s a good opportunity for you to train.”
The strongest expert of the Spirit Race was not much stronger than Ji Wujun.
When Ji Wujun heard that, he immediately returned to her room to put on her armor.
Jiang Che hesitated for a moment before he revealed that Concubine Yu was pregnant.
“In any case, Consort Yu is indeed devoted to me. I don’t want to expel her. She is pregnant with my child, and I want her to give birth to the child. However, this child has inherited my current bloodline, so I’m afraid it’s not a human. What do you think…”
Half a year had passed, and the vitality of the child in Concubine Yu’s stomach was getting stronger day by day. Even he was shocked.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and said, “Yes, you can bring the child here in the future.’
He had already sensed that child’s aura.
It was indeed extraordinary. It had only been seven months since the it was conceived, but its vitality was even stronger than ordinary adult martial artists.
Previously, he had calculated where Great Jing’s most talented person was. It was indeed in Concubine Yu’s stomach.
Jiang Che had integrated nearly a hundred types of ferocious beast bloodlines into his body. Even though he had suffered a backlash from the power of karma, his child might not necessarily suffer the same fate. If his child could perfectly inherit this bloodline, it would indeed be worth looking forward to.
When Jiang Che heard that, he was pleasantly surprised and hastily thanked Jiang Changsheng.
Ji Wujun changed into her golden armor, picked up the Dragon Soul Silver Spear, and followed Jiang Che down the mountain. She also needed to ask Jiang Che about the specific situation.
Bai Qi curiously asked, “Master, why did you agree to take care of his child? Do you miss your grandson?”
Jiang Changsheng looked at it and said, “Oh, since I’m not free, help me take care of the child in the future.
The 3rd year of the Yan Yuan Era, the middle of July.
Ji Wujun had returned. She had killed the prince of the Spirit Race and helped Concubine Yu’s brother seize power.
There were Nine Grotto-heaven realm experts in the Spirit Race, but the fighting strength of the Spirit Race was too weak. They were easily killed by Ji
Wujun who crossed realms. Of course, the whole process was not so easy, but Ji Wujun did not disappoint and killed the culprit.
After she returned, Bai Qi pestered her and asked her about the situation. Jiang Changsheng was also listening.
She was successful because she had obtained the help of Concubine Yu’s father, a royal relative that had the ambition to rebel.
After this matter was resolved, the Emperor of the Spirit Race, who was also Concubine Yu’s father, was willing to be on good terms with the human race. A large number of natural treasures were already on their way.
“The Spirit Race lives deep in the mountains, like a paradise. They are very similar to the human race. There are dynasties, officials, and commoners at the bottom. Concubine Yu came to the human race just to learn from us…” Even though Jiang Changsheng was listening, he looked at the Ancestral
Palace.
Concubine Yu’s child had yet to be born. According to the normal ten months of pregnancy, it had already passed.
Jiang Che had ordered that no one was allowed to spread the news.
He was worried that he would give birth to a demon fetus.
Jiang Changsheng began to wonder how long it would take for this child to be born.
Would it be like Nezha who stayed in his mother’s womb for three years?
The fetus’ vitality became stronger and stronger, causing Concubine Yu to become weaker and weaker. Jiang Changsheng sent her many medicinal pills, barely allowing her to hold on.
Jiang Che had thought of giving up on this child, but he was rejected by
Concubine Yu.
According to Concubine Yu, she had yearned for this child for a long time and did not want to give it up.
Furthermore, she felt that this child could become the link between the Spirit
Race and the Human Race.
After Jiang Che heard that, he could only let her continue to suffer.
Time flew by.
Two years passed.
Year 5 of the Yan Yuan Era, May.
Concubine Yu’s child had yet to be born. Right now, she could only lie in bed, finding it hard to move. Her stomach was several times larger than an ordinary pregnant woman. Even the palace maids who served her were extremely afraid.
Even Jiang Che was afraid of this child, but Concubine Yu still wanted to give birth. The two of them even quarreled because of this. This was the first time Concubine Yu had quarreled with Jiang Che, and in the end, Jiang Che’s heart softened.
On this day.
Jiang Changsheng checked the incense points.
[Current incense points: 7,268,098,882]
It had only been 49 years since his last breakthrough, but he had already accumulated 7.2 billion incense points!
In the past two years, the growth of his incense points had increased again. It was the six god envoys who had started to exert their strength.
The first god envoy of incense, Li Yi, had completely become the Lightning God of the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty. He had repeatedly made contributions and was highly regarded by the entire Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty.
Jiang Changsheng did not continue to create more god envoys. Instead, he wanted to wait for the incense value to exceed ten billion.
If he broke through the ten billion limit, he might be able to activate a new function. At the very least, the fate of the chosen immortal god could be of a higher level.
“It’s still not enough. I spent 4 billion incense points for my previous breakthrough. The next breakthrough will require at least 20 billion, or even more exaggerated.”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
Tentative target: 50 billion incense points!
He would strive to reach 50 billion incense points before he broke through.
After reaching ten billion incense points, he would choose another ten believers as his god envoys. The more he invested, the higher the profits he would get. For the time being, there had not been a case of a god envoy falling at a loss.
On the other side, Jiang Jian and the others were still in that dead land. They relied on the local flowers and fruits to increase their true qi very quickly.
Jiang Changsheng even suspected that Immemorial Venerable was raising them and would only eat them after they became stronger.
In any case, Jiang Changsheng was prepared to use Jiang Jian to fight Immemorial Venerable.
Time continued to pass.
In the 6th year of the Yan Yuan Era, the emperor could no longer restrain himself and launched another plan to move the capital again.
Jiang Che was tied up by the fetus in Concubine Yu’s stomach and did not have the heart to stop the Emperor. He stayed in the Ancestral Palace all day long.
The news that Concubine Yu had been pregnant for four years and had yet to give birth to a child had eventually spread. Jiang Che did not know which servant had spread the news, but he couldn’t care less.
A storm brewed in the capital, and the news of Concubine Yu being pregnant with a demon child spread more and more. Someone mentioned the former Emperor, and Emperor Jing Zhao once said that Concubine Yu would bring calamity to Great Jing. For a moment, everyone in the capital was in a state of panic.
The news eventually reached the ears of the Emperor.
Jiang Liu was frightened, but he did not dare to go to the Ancestral Palace. He frowned and asked, “Are you sure she hasn’t given birth after four years?” The White-robed Guard said in a deep voice, “That’s right, it can’t be fake.”
Jiang Liu scolded, “Father was right. It is really evil. My imperial grandfather is obsessed with evil spirits.. No, I have to leave the capital as soon as possible!”
