Chapter 338: Legacy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Since that day, Chen Chen paid attention to the news of the battle between the two races every day, while sending most of the heavenly treasures in his storage ring to the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan silently.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go to the front line to participate in the war.

However, there were two emotional hurdles that he couldn’t get over, with the first being the human cultivators who wanted to kill him.

The second one was the petal of the Demon God Flower that Yao Qing had given him.

Enemies, friends, humans, and demons, were the four great mountains pressing down on his chest and making him feel suffocated.

Watching Xiao Liang fish was the only thing that brought him joy today.

“It’s really not worth living. Life is too hard for me.”

Looking at Xiao Liang who was busy fishing in the Boundless Sea, Chen Chen suddenly spoke.

Xia Xishuang, who was at the side, suddenly laughed out loud and said softly, “Chen Chen, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable recently.”

Hearing this, Chen Chen stood up abruptly and touched Xia Xishuang’s body to check her condition. After doing so for a long time, he asked, “There seems to be nothing wrong with you.”

Nevertheless, he took out a bunch of heavenly treasures from his storage ring for nourishing one’s body.

Xia Xishuang did not stop him. Her smile became more and more radiant, but her voice became softer.

“Chen Chen, I feel a powerful wave of vitality brewing in my body, do you understand what I mean?”

Hearing this, Chen Chen’s expression froze, and the treasures in his hand began throbbing, after which they all landed on the ground.

“Xishuang...what do you mean?”

Xia Xishuang looked at her stomach, her eyes full of tenderness. She muttered, “I’m not sure...but this vitality seems to be a little different. I feel that it takes a long, long time to conceive.”

Chen Chen’s Adam’s apple rolled and he began to question the system.

“System, is there a pregnant woman nearby?”

“Yes, it’s Xia Xishuang who’s in front of you, Host.”

Hearing this answer, cold sweat appeared on Chen Chen’s forehead.

“System, where is the strongest life form in the vicinity?”

“It’s you, Host.”

“What about the second strongest?”

“It’s Xia Xishuang who’s in front of you, Host.”

“What about the... third strongest?”

“The Innate Dao fetus conceived within Xia Xishuang’s body.”

Hearing this answer, Chen Chen was stumped for a moment.

It was his first time hearing the term, Innate Dao fetus. Although he did not know what it was, he knew that anything with the word ‘innate’ was definitely going to be powerful.

The thought of it almost made Chen Chen burst into tears.

Previously, he felt that he was about to transcend the Tribulation and thought that he probably wouldn’t live for long. Thus he had inevitably done something that was meant to be kept a secret between him and Xia Xishuang...

Seeing how pitiful he was, Xia Xishuang couldn’t bear to turn him down at that time, but she didn’t expect...

“I’m going to be a father!”

Chen Chen suddenly hugged Xia Xishuang without any euphoria, but only a feeling of elevation. He felt as if he had broken through a major realm.

Xia Xishuang looked at Chen Chen and said gently, “This child is not ordinary. He or she may take ten years to be born. I don’t want our child to be born without a father, so you have to survive no matter what.”

Chen Chen nodded slightly after hearing that.

Childbearing for cultivators was different than that of mortals, especially high-level cultivators whose bodies had long broken free from the realm of mortals and even developed essence souls.

Chen Chen wasn’t surprised to see that message at all.

Since the Divine Ape Demon Venerable reached the peak of the Void Refinement realm, some kind of unspoken rule was broken.

Nowadays, those who strike first will stand to gain more benefits.

The first to break through to the peak of the Void Refinement realm can still fight to transcend the tribulation.

However, if the other party breaks through first, the one who lags behind will have to passively become the victim that’s waiting to be slaughtered.

Once a powerhouse of such a level starts to fight, the remaining cultivators will definitely be unable to do anything.

That was also the reason that Yu Qiong said that the war will develop into a war of extermination.

...

It was the second day.

Chen Chen had just awakened from his meditation when Nan Pinghai came to Kongming Island.

“Lord, there are several cultivators who want to see you. They claimed that they are your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. The leader seems to be called Yu Huo.”

Hearing the name of his Senior Brother, Chen Chen said without hesitation, “Let them come.”

Hearing this, Nan Pinghai immediately sent a voice transmission, and about 15 minutes later, a small flying boat descended on Kongming Island.

Senior Brother Yu Huo and the others got down from the flying boat to go to the Crystal Palace.

Looking at his eldest Senior Brother Yu Huo, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen because of the excessive practice of alchemy, Chen Chen was in an extremely complicated mood. It would be considered normal for such cultivators to have pregnancy terms of three to five years.

On the other hand, he and Xia Xishuang were both innate spirit bodies so her pregnancy could last up to ten years.

With that thought, he subconsciously wanted to tell her about the Demon God Flower petal, but he stopped himself just as he was about to do so.

At the end of the day, the demoness was still female, so he was worried that Xia Xishuang might misunderstand if he told her too much.

Hence, he said, “Don’t worry, Xishuang, I won’t die even when Heaven does.”

After he said that, thunder roared in the sky, but Chen Chen remained indifferent.

He didn’t say those words casually, but rather, he was very confident.

Ever since he learned that he was going to be a father too, he felt that he could continue to live on.

...

“Disciple, the Emperor of the Grand Xia Dynasty has reached the peak of Void Refinement realm and killed the clan leader of the Heavenly Berserk Bear Clan who also failed to transcend the tribulation and died.”

Seven days later, such news was spread from the Eastern region of the demon race.

Chen Chen frowned without thinking about it much. At this moment, he had already reached the critical juncture of breaking through the Void Refinement realm.

...

Half a month later.

“The clan master of the Immortal Demonic Phoenix clan has severely injured the cultivation of the Void Spirit Clan and gone to cultivate Nirvana. Now, the top powerhouses of both human and demon clans all have the intention of reaching the peak of the Void Refinement realm.”

However, Yu Huo wasn’t too affected. He comforted, “Chen Chen, you have done enough for the human race. If we fall again, we can only blame it on our incompetency.”

Chen Chen was speechless after hearing that. He then bowed to Yu Huo and his other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

Seeing this, Yu Huo said with a heartened smile, “Junior Brother, it’s a pity that I haven’t studied those ancient elixir formulas thoroughly. I’m really busy, but my level of alchemy has improved greatly...Forget it, I don’t want to say these meaningless things anymore.”

At this point, Yu Huo’s expression suddenly became serious, and pulled out a green tripod-shaped seal that was emitting a spiritual light. He said seriously, “I, Chen Chen, obey your orders!”

Chen Chen was stunned, but when he saw that his Senior Brother didn’t seem to be joking, he hurriedly bent forward with a respectful expression.

“If the human race is exterminated, the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan will not be spared either. Chen Chen, you have been ordered to take over the seal of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan’s clan master and assume the position of the 23rd clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan. You shall stay in the Boundless Sea and continue to pass on the legacy of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan.”

After Yu Huo said that, the tripod-shaped seal in his hand slowly flew out and floated into Chen Chen’s body. The whole process was so smooth and fluid that Chen Chen could not hesitate for a moment.

A few people fell to the ground on one knee and said in a respectful tone of voice, “Greetings, Clan Master!”

Chen Chen stood speechlessly in the same place.

Who would have thought that he would be hiding in the Boundless Sea and suddenly become the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan, one of the four major clans of the human race?

However, if he became the clan master, what would happen to the old clan master? What would happen to his master?

‘Are these Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters here to pass on the Dao of alchemy to the human race?’

At the thought of it, Chen Chen felt touched.

His master Yu Qiong had already cheated these honest people for all their lives, but at such a critical juncture, she gave the chance of survival for those disciples.

After all...she still treated his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters as disciples....
