Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1235 - 858 is going to break through
Chapter 1235: 858 is going to break through
Directly telling them won’t work, so Jiang Chen was preparing to boil the frog in warm water, to first relocate them before moving on to the next steps, gradually forcing them to lower their bottom line.
No matter how distant, for an Innate Taoist Master, distance had already lost its meaning. In just a flash, Jiang Chen, along with over twenty Human Race Taoist Masters, appeared before Cang Jie and other Quasi-Saints.
"Paying respects to the Great Saint!"
Upon seeing Cang Jie, the Taoist Masters hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Enough with the pleasantries, let’s get straight to the point. Just now, the Dark Clan has taken action against the Light Clan. However, the Dark Clan has been suppressed by the Light Clan quite severely over the years, and even without the Ancestor of Light, they are still no match for the Light Clan."
"Looking at the situation, it seems the Dark Clan might end up trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it. Their attempt to ambush the Light Clan has failed, and now they might be swallowed up by the Light Clan instead."
One of the Human Race Quasi-Saints said somewhat gleefully. The dog-eat-dog struggles among the myriad clans were exactly what the Human Race experts loved to see.
"That might not necessarily be the case."
"In my opinion, it’s rather the Light Clan that’s doomed. The Ancestor of Light has died, and the Light Clan’s strength has barely bottomed out. How could the other clans that covet the Light Clan’s treasures sit by and watch the Dark Clan being assimilated by the Light Clan, allowing a new Quasi-Saint to emerge?"
As for the schemes between the Dark and Light Clans, how could they possibly escape the notice of the Human Race Quasi-Saints?
Therefore, as soon as the two clans started to fight, everyone guessed their intentions. Both sought to consume the other and give birth to a Quasi-Saint.
Unfortunately, the goals of both clans were doomed to fail. Even if the Human Race didn’t intervene, the other members of the myriad clans wouldn’t allow them to succeed.
Under the oppression of the Human Race, there were only so many resources among the myriad clans, which were already scarce. If another Quasi-Saint emerged, that would mean one more person to share the already limited resources.
Nobody wanted to surrender the meat that had already reached their mouths, which naturally meant no one wished to see a new Quasi-Saint born. Under such circumstances, for either clan to aim for the birth of a Quasi-Saint was nothing short of a fool’s dream.
"Gentlemen, your opportunity has arrived!"
Hearing the discussion between the Human Race Quasi-Saints, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke to the Taoist Masters around him with a smile.
"Opportunity?"
"What opportunity?"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Masters were first stunned and then, as if realizing something, expressions of joy suddenly appeared on their faces.
"Naturally, it’s the opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint!"
"Both the Light Clan and the Dark Clan, if they consume each other, can make their original sources perfect and thus gain the chance to break through."
"Likewise, if someone consumes both the Dark Clan and the Light Clan at the same time, they can transform their original source and similarly gain the chance for a breakthrough."
"All of you are the foundation of our Human Race and have already verified the Dao Fruits of the Innate Dao Sovereign. This means that if you can consume a Light Clan Taoist Master and a Dark Clan Taoist Master, the breakthrough to become a Quasi-Saint is practically as good as certain."
Jiang Chen said with a smile. This was the benefit of attacking the myriad clans: by defeating any given clan and assimilating their resources, the upper limit of the Human Race could be raised, allowing for the rapid emergence of a large number of masters within a short period.
Just like this time, if the Light Clan and the Dark Clan were not defeated, the Human Race would have to wait a long time to give birth to a Quasi-Saint.
"The Human King is joking. The Human King himself is a Taoist Master and, should such an opportunity arise, it would be for the Human King to take priority. How could we precede the Human King?"
After hearing Jiang Chen’s words, these twenty-some Human Race Taoist Masters were excited, but they did not forget Jiang Chen’s status and let him take the lead. Only after he had the opportunity, would it be their turn.
After all, this opportunity was brought about by Jiang Chen alone. With the master not having acted yet, how could these outsiders presume to go first?
"Don’t worry about me, I have no need for the opportunity here, I can still become a Quasi-Saint. Or rather, I am about to achieve the Quasi-Saint status. Maybe in a few days, perhaps a few months, but certainly no more than a year."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Indeed, he was about to break through to become a Quasi-Saint. It wasn’t so soon initially, but who would have thought that he would slay nine Quasi-Saints in the recent battle.
The Quasi-Saints devoured by the Duotian Shenfan didn’t have all their power consumed by it — at least half of the power had to be left for Jiang Chen.
This was normal since the Duotian Shenfan was not Jiang Chen’s Magic Treasure but belonged to the Witch Clan. Were it not for Jiang Chen’s current need for the Duotian Shenfan, he wouldn’t have left even half of the power for it.
Jiang Chen was already not far from the Quasi-Saint realm, and now with such a significant amount of power, his realm was naturally advancing towards the Quasi-Saint level, and at an astonishingly fast pace at that.
In the past few days, Jiang Chen occasionally heard the rumbling of the River of Time and Space as if he was already in the River itself.
This was a sign of a breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint level. An Innate Dao Sovereign stood on the shores of the River of Time and Space; to achieve the Quasi-Saint status was to jump into the river from the shore.
Standing in the River of Time and Space, unwavering amidst the river of time and space, marked the initial stage of a Quasi-Saint.
After this, Slaying One Corpse is the mid-stage, Slaying Two Corpses is the late-stage, and Slaying Three Corpses is the pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint level. At this point, the Quasi-Saint realm would be considered complete, with no further advancement possible.
Next, if one can achieve harmony between the Three Corpses and one’s own will, then it’s possible to attempt to fuse the Three Corpses back into one’s body.
If one succeeds, that signifies the culmination of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, transcending Heaven and Earth.
