Chapter 1543: Chapter 1540: Divine Beast Ju Mang!

Li Chen traversed the space-time tunnel, and finally arrived on Jupiter after an unknown duration.

Jupiter, the largest and fastest rotating planet in the Solar System.

Its mass is one-thousandth of the Sun and 2.5 times the sum of the other seven major planets in the Solar System.

Furthermore, it is primarily composed of gas, mainly hydrogen and helium.

Jupiter emits very strange sounds during its rotation, making one’s skin crawl.

Li Chen hovered in the void, his pupils slightly constricting, from which two golden beams shot out, starting to peer into this giant gaseous planet.

However, the gas on Jupiter is very dense, and Li Chen’s vision can only penetrate three thousand kilometers, unable to reach the transition layer.

After standing still for a moment, Li Chen transformed into a beam of light, like a meteor traversing the sky, entering Jupiter’s atmosphere.

At first it was okay, but once Li Chen delved 250 kilometers deep, he suddenly encountered a very powerful hurricane, wreaking havoc at a speed of at least 500 kilometers per hour, with some hurricanes reaching speeds of a thousand kilometers per hour.

Li Chen summoned Protective Gang Qi to resist the onslaught of the hurricane, quickly flying toward the center of Jupiter.

Suddenly!

He saw a space rift!

After pondering for a moment, Li Chen gritted his teeth and rushed into the space rift.

Coming out from the other side of the space rift, Li Chen was surprised to find himself in a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers, with clear mountains and beautiful waters.

Strange, how could there be such a beautiful otherworldly paradise on Jupiter?

"It’s Ju Mang, it bears the title of Spring God, capable of growing flowers, grasses, and trees in any harsh environment!"

Just as Li Chen was puzzled, the Fire Phoenix suddenly transmitted a message to him.

Upon hearing the Fire Phoenix’s explanation, Li Chen suddenly realized.

Immediately, a hint of joyful light appeared in his eyes.

His previous speculation was correct; Divine Beast Ju Mang was indeed on Jupiter.

Thinking of this, Li Chen steadied his mind, released his Divine Sense for a carpet-like survey of the surrounding area to detect Ju Mang’s whereabouts.

However, the Divine Sense he released vanished like a cow disappearing into the sea.

It seems that Ju Mang is hidden very deeply!

After pondering for a moment, Li Chen decided to lure Ju Mang out.

He summoned the Wood Spirit Pearl and casually tossed it into the air.

Then, he hid his whole presence, waiting in the shadows to monitor the Wood Spirit Pearl.

He believed that if Ju Mang was nearby, it surely couldn’t resist the temptation of the Wood Spirit Pearl.

Sure enough, Li Chen waited only half a day before the Wood Spirit Pearl showed abnormalities, attracted by an inconspicuous ancient tree.

Seeing this scenario, Li Chen did not hesitate and immediately used Insight Divine Power to see through this ancient tree.

On this ancient tree was a creature with wings on its ribs, half-beast, half-bird.

As the wings fluttered, its figure also appeared faintly, its two eyes fixed on the Wood Spirit Pearl.

It looked quite excited!

Presumably, this was the Wood Element Divine Beast Ju Mang!

Realizing this, Li Chen began to plan in his mind on how to capture Ju Mang!

Otherwise, if it escaped, trying to catch it on such a vast Jupiter would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Thus, Li Chen did not strike immediately but stayed hidden to quietly observe.

Now Ju Mang was still very cautious, easy for it to slip away.

When its attention was completely attracted by the Wood Spirit Pearl, thoroughly relaxed, Li Chen would strike unexpectedly and capture it in one fell swoop.

Things went just as Li Chen anticipated, as Ju Mang cautiously approached the Wood Spirit Pearl, not perceiving any danger, it became bold.

As it prepared to open its mouth and swallow the Wood Spirit Pearl, Li Chen’s pupils suddenly tightened.

The opportunity had come!

Li Chen’s figure dashed like lightning, moving as swiftly as a rabbit, quickly charging forward.

Li Chen’s speed was rapid and unexpected; by the time Ju Mang realized something was wrong, it was already too late to regret.

After the initial panic, Ju Mang quickly steadied its mind.

Seeing Li Chen, it was stunned, stammering for a long time before speaking a complete sentence.

"You, you, are you a human cultivator?"

Li Chen nodded and replied, "Mm, I am human, from Earth!"

"Earth?"

Ju Mang had never heard of the name Earth, appearing very unfamiliar.

Regardless, it did not dwell on "Earth," but instead asked in a trembling voice.

"Did Emperor Zhuanxu send you?"

Mentioning Emperor Zhuanxu made Ju Mang’s voice, like the Fire Phoenix’s, noticeably tremble.

Clearly, they were both very afraid of Emperor Zhuanxu.

This made Li Chen very curious, what had Emperor Zhuanxu done to the Fire Phoenix and Ju Mang that made them so fearful, even trembling involuntarily at the mere mention of a name?

Li Chen shook his head and answered, "No!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s answer, Ju Mang’s heart slightly settled.

"Then who are you, why are you here?"

Li Chen pondered briefly before saying, "I want to rescue you out of here!"

Ju Mang was taken aback, "Why?"

Li Chen responded, "There is no why; I, Li Chen, have always acted with such impetuousness!"

Listening to Li Chen’s domineering reply, Ju Mang was slightly astonished.

Immediately, it shook its head with force and answered; "I’m quite alright here; unless you provide me a convincing reason, I absolutely will not leave with you!"

Li Chen coldly smiled and asked, "Aren’t you afraid that Emperor Zhuanxu will return and butcher you?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Mang’s body trembled noticeably.

It steadied its mind and, with a shivering mouth, said, "Emperor Zhuanxu has kept me because I’m still useful; he won’t kill me. If he wanted to slaughter me, he would have acted a hundred thousand years ago, definitely not waited until now!"

It seems Ju Mang’s fear of Emperor Zhuanxu has become ingrained to the marrow.

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then coldly asked, "So aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you instead?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ju Mang was immediately stunned.

It hadn’t interacted with other beings for a hundred thousand years, its mind had long become muddled.

For a moment, it couldn’t wrap its head around this twist.

"You just said you’d rescue me, now you’re saying you’ll kill me, what exactly do you want?"

Li Chen coldly smiled, saying; "As long as you obey, I’ll naturally rescue you. But if you refuse to listen, then I’ll reluctantly have to kill you!"

"Live or die, the choice is yours!"

Hearing Li Chen’s blatant threat, Ju Mang suddenly laughed loudly.

"Heh, you think you’re Emperor Zhuanxu, daring to threaten me here. Hurry and leave my place, or you won’t be able to leave!"
