Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1893

Chapter 1893: 1893

The suspended runes piqued a great deal of Jiang Chen’s interest and passion .

Old Pill Glyph had recorded many methods of bringing them into being . Also included were several specialized approaches which were especially deserving of further research .

Each kind of suspended rune had a corresponding manner of drawing . The art was somewhat different from both etching formations and using hand seals .

It was a combination of the two instead . The method of creating the runes was similar to etching formations, which meant the runes possessed quasi-formational strength . Perhaps they were weaker than formations drawn on a grander scale, but they had unique advantages .

They could be completed in a very short amount of time and used to strike an unexpected blow . Moreover, they were extremely flexible and tailorable to the current situation . Sometimes, they could be combined with the terrain to create completely unexpected and unique results .

Jiang Chen was very enthusiastic about this new craft . He enjoyed starting out from the basics .

Right now, it was very hard to even start setting up the Great Formation of Heavenly Soul Confinement . There was nothing wrong for him to spend the time on cultivation instead . The more effort he expended now, the more he would have to rely on in a future fight .

Though he did have to start from the beginning, learning how to create suspended runes wasn’t too hard . Somewhat more esoteric compared to etching formations, but not the end of the world . Of course, it was precisely because of its rarity that the technique hadn’t achieved widespread usage .

Jiang Chen stayed behind closed doors for a very long time .

He reluctantly emerged only after a full year . In that time, he had reaped notable rewards .

“Now that I am sixth level empyrean and have studied the Sword of Genesis, I can easily crush seventh or eighth level experts . Ninth level ones… I think I’ve got what it takes to take them on too . ”

The young man said this thanks to his increase in strength, and not blind confidence . Everyone was overjoyed to see him emerge in such an awe-inspiring fashion . The outside world had remained mostly calm during his time away . However, news from the every corner seemed to show small changes taking place .

Since taking his place as the young lord of Veluriyam Capital, Jiang Chen had ordered annual propaganda of the dangers of demonkind everywhere in the human domain .

It wasn’t that he wanted to terrorize everyone . He wanted to use the opportunity to raise the people’s guards and make them wary of a possible invasion . He didn’t want a rude awakening to take place when they actually came . It would probably be too late then .

Because of his repeated emphasis about demons, almost everybody in Veluriyam Capital was preparing for the resistance effort . The city was being built into both an offensive and defensive stronghold .

The good news its young lord had brought back after each of his excursions had improved the city’s own strength considerably .

Today, Veluriyam Capital had far more empyrean experts than Mo Wushuang, Wellspring, and the Jiao brothers . Many of the other great emperors had gradually broken through one by one on their own time . By proxy, the Taiyi Skymender Pill acquired a famous reputation .

The human domain was very different from Myriad Abyss . If the pill could make waves in the latter, it would obviously garner even more of a reaction in the former .

Countless great emperors here had ended their lives without any opportunities for them to climb any higher . The appearance of the Taiyi Skymender Pill instantly changed this former reality . A new era was upon them; the great emperors finally had a new goal to aspire to .

Correspondingly, the overall strength of the human domain rose again .

Jiang Chen was pleased with what was happening . Unfortunately, there weren’t that many Taiyi Skymender Pills in the end . He had a number of Taiyi Dragonscale Fruits still available, but he didn’t choose to refine them into more pills .

Veluriyam Capital only had so many great emperors . He had planned distribution to them accordingly . The rest of the Taiyi Dragonscale Fruits were held in reserve .

There were countless other great emperors in the human domain, but most of them were outsiders . As such, Jiang Chen had already decided to only give one or two pills to the factions previously friendly to them to convey his attitude . As for the more lukewarm factions, he wasn’t just going to give the pills away for free .

The Moon God Sect, for example, would be given a gift because of Xu Qingxuan .

The Celestial Cicada Court and the Great Yu Skysword Sect deserved compensation for their long-time support as well .

Any pills that remained would be auctioned off .

Jiang Chen had almost every answer required to reactivate the Great Formation of Heavenly Soul Confinement . He lacked for only one thing: spirit stones .

The activation of a formation of this scale would expend innumerable resources . If any one of the ten great ancient sects had shouldered the burden alone, it would have bankrupted itself .

In the human domain of today, everyone had to pay out all that they had . To dream that the resources would be collected any other way was absurd .

Thankfully, Jiang Chen had plenty of pills to sell .

Ten should be enough to elicit a ton of interest . He expected them to fetch exorbitant prices . Only then could he grab more spirit stones for himself .

The news of his intentions spread through the human domain very quickly . Every faction that caught wind of it mobilized: the first-rate factions were especially desperate, willing to give all they had for just a single pill .

The fact that a good number of great emperors here in Veluriyam Capital had broken through to empyrean stimulated their peers in the other factions .

Before this, great emperors had held nearly absolute authority . New information that the human domain could have its own empyrean experts – and moreover, that they could be manufactured! – completely shook things up .

The human domain at large was astounded and driven into a mad frenzy .

The cultivators stuck at peak great emperor for so long felt their spirits rekindled . They dearly anticipated the acquisition of a Taiyi Skymender Pill, that they might shake off their mortal shackles and ascend!
