153: The Kingdom of Demons, with a Lotus Root and Jade Body

"Of course, provided that you can pass the test," Jiang Chen nodded and replied earnestly.

Having received Jiang Chen's confirmation, the old man could no longer contain the joy in his heart.

With an excited face, he knelt before Jiang Chen, kowtowing while shouting, "I am willing to pass the test to join the sect. As long as Sect Master can help me reshape my Physical Body and restore my strength, I swear upon my Divine Soul that from now on, I will pledge my life to serve Sect Master. If I violate this oath, may my Divine Soul be utterly destroyed."

He had been waiting for this day for over a thousand years.

Ever since over a thousand years ago, when his beloved Disciple poisoned him to steal his treasures and destroyed his imperial body, he had spent every waking moment thinking of ways to reshape his Physical Body so he could take revenge on that wretch.

As long as Jiang Chen could help him reshape his Physical Body and restore my strength, he would be willing to serve as Jiang Chen's servant from now on.

"Good, it is settled then."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said to Wu Yan, who was still dazed beside him, "Wu Yan, take your Revered Master to the Grand Elder. He will arrange for your Revered Master's test. Once he passes the test, This Sect Master will find a way to help him reshape his Physical Body."

He had already sent a voice transmission to Li Big Saber; once the two arrived, they could test immediately.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yan came back to his senses, saluted Jiang Chen with a joyful face, and said, "Yes, Sect Master. This Disciple will take his Revered Master to find the Grand Elder right away."

"Revered Master, shall we go?" Wu Yan called out to the old man with the Remnant Soul again.

The old man did not hesitate; after kowtowing to Jiang Chen once, he stood up and followed Wu Yan out of the Main Hall.

Watching the two leave the Main Hall, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

To reshape the Physical Body of a Great Emperor Expert, the simplest way was to find a Great Emperor's shell and let him inhabit it.

Although doing so would trap Wu Yan's Revered Master within that Great Emperor's Physical Body, preventing any further progress for the rest of his life, it was the most convenient method.

However, he felt that doing so was somewhat inappropriate.

Once Wu Yan's Revered Master passed the test, he would be a Great Emperor Elder of the Qingtian Sect; it would be absolutely unacceptable for his cultivation to never progress again.

After all, he had the System in his hands, and his future footsteps would certainly not be limited to the Canglan Continent.

If Wu Yan's Revered Master only had Great Emperor cultivation, he wouldn't be of much use later on, so he intended to find a Physical Body for Wu Yan's Revered Master that allowed for long-term development.

"Hmm, where can such a Physical Body be found?"

Jiang Chen showed a distressed expression; for a moment, he really didn't know where to find such a Physical Body.

However, as the Sect Master, he wouldn't make things difficult for himself.

Since he didn't know, he would let his Subordinates handle it; in any case, he just wanted the result.

Thus, Jiang Chen thought of Huyan Zhuo, who was busy with Artifact Refining in the Time Pagoda.

This Old Thing had lived on the Canglan Continent for tens of thousands of years and was also the Old Ancestor of the continent's number one merchant guild, so he surely knew more about certain things than he did.

Soon, Huyan Zhuo, who was performing Artifact Refining in the Time Pagoda, received Jiang Chen's voice transmission.

"Little Zhuo, come to the Main Hall; This Sect Master has something to ask you."

"Oh? Sect Master is calling for me?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's voice.

Huyan Zhuo dared not delay; he quickly put down the work in his hands, hurried out of the Time Pagoda, and prepared to meet Jiang Chen.

"Hmph, keep slacking off if you want. When you can't produce enough equipment, you'll know you've made a mistake."

Watching Huyan Zhuo leave his post.

Zhu Heizi, who was busy with Alchemy, muttered quietly while looking at Huyan Zhuo's back.

Normally, when Huyan Zhuo was performing Artifact Refining, he was quite leisurely and couldn't refine much in a day.

Now that Huyan Zhuo dared to leave his post to slack off, he was truly bold.

Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

Huyan Zhuo bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen on the throne and said, "Subordinate Huyan Zhuo pays respects to Sect Master! I wonder for what matter Sect Master has summoned this Subordinate?"

"Hmm, Little Zhuo, you may rise," Jiang Chen said indifferently.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Huyan Zhuo replied, straightened his body, and waited for Jiang Chen's question.

Jiang Chen didn't make him wait long. After eating a spirit fruit handed to him by Liu Shu, he looked at Huyan Zhuo and spoke slowly, "Little Zhuo, do you know where on the Canglan Continent there might be a treasure that allows a Great Emperor Expert to reshape their Physical Body without restrictions?"

"A treasure for a Great Emperor to reshape their Physical Body without restrictions?"

Upon hearing this, Huyan Zhuo was stunned for a moment, but quickly bowed and replied, "Reporting to Sect Master, in the Demon Kingdom within the Endless Sea, there is a supreme treasure called the Creation Lotus. Within it, a lotus root jade body is gestating, which can allow a Great Emperor's Divine Soul to achieve Fusion, restore their strength from before they died, or even advance further."

"Oh, the Demon Kingdom?"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen recalled the memories in his mind regarding the Demon Kingdom.

When he had free time, he would have Li Big Saber get him a book introducing the Canglan Continent to read.

He knew that this Demon Kingdom was a demon nation located in the Endless Sea that separated the four major regions from the Central Region.

This nation was entirely composed of the Yao Race and ruled over all the Yao Race on the entire Canglan Continent. It even possessed four Great Emperor-level Demon Emperors and often had friction with the Human Race.

Since the thing gestated by the Creation Lotus could allow a Great Emperor Expert to reshape their Physical Body, it must be a supreme treasure in the Demon Kingdom. It seemed it would take some effort to bring it back.

"Little Zhuo, is it possible to go to the Demon Kingdom and trade for this lotus root jade body?" Jiang Chen asked Huyan Zhuo.

Although Wu Yan's Revered Master was still undergoing the test, he had to plan ahead and solve the problem of his Physical Body first.

If it could be traded for, that would be best; if it couldn't, then he would just have to seize it.

"This… Sect Master, I am afraid it might be difficult to trade for the lotus root jade body."

"One of the Demon Emperors of this Demon Kingdom had their Physical Body destroyed during the great war with our Human Race three thousand years ago, and they are currently waiting for this lotus root jade body to reshape their Physical Body."

Huyan explained.

"Hehe, that's fine. Since they need it too, we cannot force them to trade; we'll just have to seize it," Jiang Chen said with a smile, raising his hand.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen say this.

Huyan Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully and exclaimed, "Sect Master is wise!!"

Although he didn't know who Jiang Chen wanted to use this lotus root jade body for, as long as Jiang Chen wanted it, it was a done deal.

After all, the Qingtian Sect possessed over a dozen Peak Great Emperors; sending even half of them would be enough to raze the Demon Kingdom, so a mere lotus root jade body would be easily obtained.

Just as Huyan Zhuo finished exclaiming how wise he was and prepared to straighten his body.

Li Big Saber brought Wu Yan's Remnant Soul Master to the center of the Main Hall.

"Reporting to Sect Master, he has passed the test," Li Big Saber reported to Jiang Chen with a salute.

"Subordinate Danyangzi pays respects to Sect Master," the Great Emperor Remnant Soul also bowed and saluted Jiang Chen.

Now that he had passed the test, he was a member of the Qingtian Sect, and he could not skip any of the necessary etiquette.

"Hmm, you may rise."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" After Danyangzi thanked him, he straightened his body.

Meanwhile, Huyan Zhuo, who was beside them, saw Danyangzi's appearance and immediately shouted in shock, "Danyangzi, it's actually you! You Old Thing, you're actually still not dead?"
