Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1236 - 858 is going to break through_2

If the breakthrough was unsuccessful, that would mean reaching the realm of a Great Divine Transcendent, with the body beginning its partial transition into primality.

Indeed, the so-called Great Divine Transcendents are cultivators at the peak of Quasi-Saint perfection who failed to break through to become Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Although they failed, their bodies have begun to transform and possess some characteristics of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, hence their strength is far superior to Quasi-Saints but still not on par with Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Failure in the breakthrough is quite normal, with Donghuang Taiyi being the only one since the Taoist Ancestors to directly integrate the Slaying Three Corpses and successfully leap from the peak of Quasi-Saint into the Realm of Primordial Chaos. The rest, without exception, all became Great Divine Transcendents.

This is also where Jiang Chen’s method of Slaying Three Lives falls short compared to the Slaying Three Corpses method.

Look at others, even if they fail their breakthrough, they still become stronger than before, whereas the method of Slaying Three Lives requires one to restart from the Taoist Venerable Realm if failed, the difference is substantial.

"Then we shall extend our congratulations to the Human King now," the crowd said, feeling it somehow made sense amidst their shock.

After all, Jiang Chen had shown formidable prowess, defeating even Huang Jiao, a Half-step Great Divine Transcendent, with sheer force, which speaks volumes of his terrifying strength.

With such power, it was only natural for Jiang Chen to become a Quasi-Saint. However, his age after all was too young; to say nothing of one thousand years, it was uncertain if he even had five hundred.

To witness such a young individual attaining the realm of Quasi-Saint, while people found it astonishing, it also left a somewhat sour taste in their mouths.

Compared to Jiang Chen, didn’t their lengthy lives amount to living like dogs?

"For the Human King to break through and become a Quasi-Saint at such a young age is indeed a blessing for our Human Race," Cang Jie commented with surprise and delight to Jiang Chen.

Without exaggeration, at that moment, Jiang Chen appeared to Cang Jie as a living symbol of good fortune. Being the first since the beginning of Prehistoric World who was not the reincarnation of a Great Divine Transcendent and managed to practice to the level of Quasi-Saint was unprecedented.

To cultivate from a mortal to a Quasi-Saint in less than five hundred years, such an incredible speed of cultivation was unheard of even in the myriad novels of Prehistoric World.

It’s too exaggerated!

With such a performance, what else could it be if not an omen of great fortune?

"The Great Sage flatters me too much, let us not dwell on my matters today, but rather discuss the affairs of the Nine Clans."

Jiang Chen did not get too excited, for with the confidence to even become Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, how could he be stirred by merely achieving the status of Quasi-Saint?

To be honest, if he was willing, he could have stayed within the Innate Realm without breaking through and after one million years, directly step from the realm of the Innate Dao Sovereign into that of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

It sounds extravagant, but this is the most ancient practice system. In the Chaos, there is no concept of time and space, and naturally, no River of Time and Space, so how could Chaos Demigods step out of the river?

The answer is, if there’s no river, then don’t jump. In the Chaos, there is no Quasi-Saint realm; after the Innate Dao Sovereign would come the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

"Indeed, given the Human King’s current strength, there is truly no need to rejoice over the breakthrough to Quasi-Saint status. Only when the day comes for the Human King to ascend as the Human Emperor and step into the domain of primality, then our Human Race shall truly celebrate,"

Cang Jie nodded in agreement with Jiang Chen’s words. He didn’t even mention the realm of the Great Divine Transcendents, evidently believing that Jiang Chen could bypass this stage just like Donghuang Taiyi and break through from Quasi-Saint to Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial directly.

"As single entities, neither the Yi Clan nor the Dark Clan amount to much, but if the two are combined, that’s when it becomes frightening. The power they could unleash is not just twice as strong but could be more than tenfold."

"Fortunately, they are two races, not one. Otherwise, Heaven and Earth would face the emergence of another extremely powerful race."

A Quasi-Saint of the Human Race shifted the conversation, expressing their sentiments on the side.

"That could also be seen as a good thing. If our Human Race could subdue both clans at the same time, then by merging their origins, we could create a secret realm of light and darkness."

"Considering the characteristics of both clans, this Light and Dark secret realm is certainly profound, an exceptional place for breakthrough enhancement. Perhaps it can even increase the odds for an Innate Dao Sovereign to break through and become a Quasi-Saint."

"Even if that cannot be achieved, enhancing the likelihood of advancing to the Innate Dao Sovereign realm is still quite remarkable."

A Human Race Quasi-Saint spoke up, his words revealing a tone of indifference and ruthlessness, intending to slaughter countless tribesmen of both clans and extract their Original Source to refine into an Innate secret realm.

Yet, everyone present, including Jiang Chen, did not find his words cruel. Instead, they thought his reasoning made perfect sense.

"Brother Dao speaks the truth. Refining an Innate secret realm is indeed the greatest use of these two clans."

Everyone agreed in unison.

What cruelty or coldness? This is a struggle between races, there are no rights or wrongs, only life or death. It’s like humans eating meat, wolves eating sheep, sheep eating grass— all to survive. There is no cruelty involved.

"The Yi Clan is extraordinary too. Their wings contain the profound mysteries of Innate Yin and Yang, a treasure fashioned by creation, a miracle of Heaven and Earth. It would be a waste to craft them into Magic Treasures."

"In my opinion, we should sever their wings, blend them with the Yin Yang River in their Ancestral Land, and refine them into an Innate Yin and Yang secret realm."

"That way, we can cultivate a constant stream of experts for our race."

"The Single-horned Tribe is also noteworthy, their single horns is a natural Magic Treasure, with all sorts of incredible powers..."

"The Heavenly Spirit Clan is not bad either, their flesh is comparable to Innate spiritual medicines..."

The crowd discussed back and forth. Clearly, after Jiang Chen left, they did not idle away but constantly discussed how to maximize the value of the nine tribes after their defeat.

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot, in this battle, I acquired quite a few valuable items."

Listening to the crowd’s discussion, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something. With a wave of the Duotian Shenfan in his hand, seventeen Innate Spiritual Treasures appeared before everyone, each exuding a strong oppressive force; not one was below middle-grade.

These were Jiang Chen’s spoils from slaying the nine Quasi-Saints of the Ten Thousand Clans. As individuals who had survived from the Ancient Era until now, these nine Quasi-Saints were not short on treasures—each possessed at least two Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The more affluent, like the ancestor of light, even had four Innate Spiritual Treasures on him.

The seventeen Innate Spiritual Treasures Jiang Chen presented were not his entire haul, only a part. Among them, the best ones—especially those few top-tier high-grade and supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures—he had kept for himself.

"These seventeen Innate Spiritual Treasures are for the elders to arrange. As the saying goes, ’to the diligent goes the reward.’ In this campaign against the nine tribes, those with outstanding achievements will be rewarded with these Innate Spiritual Treasures," Jiang Chen told Cang Jie and the other Quasi-Saints. Since he had initiated the war, it was inevitable to reward and recognize achievements after its end.

As this war was started by Jiang Chen, according to the rules of the Human Race, the postwar rewards were typically shared—one part from the Human Race and one part from himself.

These Innate Spiritual Treasures were his share of the rewards.

As Jiang Chen’s voice fell, he could distinctly feel the breathing of several dozen Daoist Venerables around him suddenly become heavy.

The poverty of the Human Race was not mere talk. Though it was true that each Innate Dao Sovereign in the Human Race possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the majority were low-grade, with middle-grade being rare, not to mention high-grade.

And the Innate Spiritual Treasures Jiang Chen brought out were at least middle-grade, better than what they had in their possession. How could they not be excited?

"Since the Human King has such intentions, then this old one will thank the Human King on their behalf," Cang Jie said, without refusal, accepting the Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Jiang Chen’s offering of Innate Spiritual Treasures was indeed generous, clearly using his own resources to subsidize the Human Race.

But this was normal, as generation after generation of Human Emperors and Human Kings had done the same, using their own wealth to subsidize the Human Race.

Even Empress Nuwa had done so, emptying her coffers to maintain the dignity of the Human Race. Otherwise, not every Human Taoist Venerable would have even one Innate Spiritual Treasure at their disposal.
