The Peng King Returns

In the Southern Wilderness, after Jiang Chen captured the Sun Patrol God, the Impermanence Sect uprooted a host of evil gods and minor deities. The chaos quickly eased. "For now, the Divine Dao Founding's hold over its subordinate gods doesn't seem that strong. It has some control over first- and second-tier gods, but its methods remain within ordinary bounds. Only at the third tier does its control become especially tight."

"The reason may have to do with recovering divine seals. From fragments of the Sun Patrol God's memories, the Divine Dao Founding seems to possess a powerful treasure. Whenever one of its gods dies elsewhere, the divine seal that god controlled will reform through that treasure after a time. This is one of the roots of the Divine Dao Founding's strength." Primordial chaos qi spread around Jiang Chen as he looked at the divine seals before him, thoughts flashing through his mind.

These divine seals were the fruits of the recent purge of evil gods in the Southern Wilderness. Most were first- or second-tier seals. There were only two third-tier seals: one the Sun Patrol God had received from the Divine Dao Founding to nurture new recruits, and one someone had obtained by chance.

Though the Divine Dao had vanished long ago, it had left traces on Yuhuan Continent, like the Bewitching Heart Empress he had encountered before.

"The Azure Sun God of old seemed to have some connection to the Divine Dao Founding too. But I condensed the divine seal I control myself; it wasn't bestowed by them. There shouldn't be much of a problem."

"As for these divine seals, they'll be usable once they've been cleansed by the God-Usurping Method."

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over the seals as he weighed the gains against the risks.
