Chapter 734: Emperor Weapon: Taiji Map!

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

There was no trace of fear on their faces, only intense curiosity.

After all, having witnessed their clan chief wield methods bordering on divine miracles.

In their eyes, the clan lord was nearly omnipotent, his strength so immense that nowhere under heaven could he find a rival!

So when they heard Nangong Zhan Tian's challenge.

They did not think their chief would lose, only that the opponent was certain to be defeated!

But how he would lose, how many strikes he would endure before falling—these questions stirred their curiosity and debate.

At this moment, the Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang, for safety's sake, immediately pulled out the Cangwu Token and swiftly located the clan lord's clan identifier.

"Judging by this man's aura, he is undoubtedly a Ten Thousand Manifestations cultivator; such a powerful elder's visit requires prompt reporting to the clan lord..."

Cangwu Mountain, Bai Yu Capital.

Above the dais, endless multicolored auroras bloomed, illuminating the void with profound mystery!

Deep within the auroras, a faint human silhouette sat in meditation.

He was a handsome young man clad in white robes, his demeanor ethereal, like a celestial being exiled to mortal realms!

Around him radiated a faint golden halo, divine and sacred, imbued with the power of the Dao!

And above his head.

Hung suspended in midair was a magic treasure!

Around this map, myriad auroras surged, a thousand auspicious rays glowed, and Daoist inscriptions were etched into its surface!

Within it, black and white light continuously flowed and interwove!

The two lights—white tinged with black, black tinged with white—naturally fused into one, radiating an overwhelming supreme Daoic resonance and exuding a terrifying might that shook the heavens and earth!

Then, Jiang Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes.

He lifted his head, gazing at the magic treasure above, unable to help exclaiming: "This treasure is so wondrous..."

After three days, he finally completed the forging of the Emperor Weapon embryo.

The result was the magic treasure above!

Its name: Taiji Map!

During the forging of this map.

The Emperor Weapon embryo absorbed vast quantities of Yin Extreme power and Yang Extreme power.

It also fused with his supreme unique manifestation: Hunyuan Taiji Map!

It further absorbed a foundational divine principle from the Wushijing, perfectly integrating the power of the Wushi Art!

It even combined the Grass Sword Art, the Heaven-Mending Art, the Three Pure Fires, and the Peng Cultivation Art to manifest Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, encompassing all phenomena!

And after integrating all these abilities.

The initial rank of the Taiji Map was only Emperor Rank—Low Tier.

Yet its power far surpassed other Emperor Rank weapons of the same level!

Once activated, it repelled all evil and rendered all arts unbreakable!

A single shake of the Taiji Map could nullify all attacks from cultivators below the Sixth Layer of Emperor Realm!

In other words, as long as one held the Taiji Map, even Saints, Saint Kings, or even Great Saints could not harm him in the slightest!

But likewise, in this world, nothing is perfect.

Great power comes with great cost.

Even though Jiang Daoxuan's foundation was profound.

To activate the Taiji Map and negate a full-force strike from a Saint Realm cultivator was already his limit!

After one activation, his own spiritual energy would be utterly depleted, rendering him unable to summon it again easily.

Of course, this applied only to Saint Realm cultivators.

For Primordial Spirit Realm and Heaven-Man Realm cultivators, he could already achieve invincibility without relying on the Mother Qi Cauldron!

Such enemies could not even breach his defenses.

Moreover, the cost of activating the Taiji Map remained within tolerable limits—how could he possibly lose?

And beyond its extraordinary defense,

the Taiji Map possessed another ability.

Once activated, it could suppress the enemy's divine arts, cultivation techniques, and even their magic treasures, drastically weakening them!

Likewise, the longer the suppression lasted, and the higher the enemy's cultivation base, the greater the cost to himself.

If the Mother Qi Cauldron was used to temper the body and suppress enemies, combining offense and support into one,

then the Taiji Map's suppression and stillness represented the ultimate defense and support!

"Thus, this treasure has indeed filled a major gap in my arsenal..."

For him, offensive magic treasures were plentiful—he had no shortage.

Now, to suddenly acquire a defensive magic treasure was rare indeed.

Then, just as Jiang Daoxuan was about to put away the Taiji Map,

Buzz buzz buzz—

The Cangwu Token on his person suddenly trembled.

Jiang Daoxuan idly pulled out the Cangwu Token and opened it.

Gazing at the message sent by Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang,

his expression remained calm, his mind tranquil, showing not the slightest emotional fluctuation.

After reading to the end, Jiang Daoxuan tucked away the Cangwu Token and said casually: "Challenge me? Boring..."

In his view, rather than wasting time playing a laughable game of my lord bullying a child with the other party,

it would be better to devote all that time to cultivation.

After all, with this Nangong Zhantian's strength, he was still far from qualified to make him act personally.

However, the family's face could not be damaged.

Even if he disdained to act himself, he still needed to find a suitable candidate to step in and crush the opponent's arrogance!

Thinking of this, Jiang Daoxuan silently turned his head and looked toward Jiang Chen beside him.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had his eyes tightly shut, still immersed in cultivation.

Up to this day, although his cultivation base was only at the second level of the Sun Wheel realm,

with the accumulation of various trump cards and methods, he was fully capable of fighting above his weight against the Myriad Manifestations realm!

Looking at it this way, this battle could perfectly let this good nephew of his accumulate fame and reputation.

The fight against Nangong Zhantian, for Jiang Chen, was an excellent battle to make a name!

It was just right that Jiang Chen had been accompanying him in cultivation for several months and had already been dormant for too long.

Now, this young dragon of the Jiang family, it was also time to test the fruits of training and soar aloft!

Thinking of this, Jiang Daoxuan immediately prepared to call Jiang Chen out to fight.

However, before he could act, the system's prompt sounded one step ahead.

【Ding~ A cultivator at the ninth level of the Myriad Manifestations realm has been detected coming to the family residence to declare war; the family name must not be insulted, triggering the hidden family quest: Suppress the Myriad Manifestations】

【Suppress the Myriad Manifestations: Pick any one clansman to defeat Nangong Zhantian】

【Reward: One Saint-grade lower-quality spirit vein, one Saint-grade lower-quality spirit spring】

Seeing there was still a pleasant surprise, Jiang Daoxuan could not help but show a smile.

One must know that in today's Cangwu Mountain, although there were many spirit veins, the highest grade was only at the Heavenly-grade supreme quality.

And the spirit spring Jiang Xiao often stayed at was still only at the Earth-grade level.

Now that there was a chance to elevate both to the Saint-grade, how could it not be worth rejoicing over?

As for the possibility of Jiang Chen failing, he had never once considered it.
