Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1246 - 863 Eve of the Battle, Eliminate Hidden Dangers

Conspiracy, what conspiracy?

With a thought, Jiang Chen had a guess.

"Damn it, these bastards wouldn’t be trying to stop me from seizing the twelve golden men, would they?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but curse out loud. The best treasure in the Emperor’s treasury was the twelve golden men, forged from the weapons collected from all over the empire.

Back then, when the twelve golden men were first made, they were only at the early stages of the Dao Monarch realm, but even so, together, they managed to kill an Innate Dao Sovereign.

Now, tens of thousands of years have passed since that time, and after so many years, the twelve golden men might have grown even stronger.

If they all reached the realm of the Innate Dao Sovereign, that would mean that together, they possess the power to rival a Quasi-Saint.

But who would want to see the Human Race gain another force of Quasi-Saint level at this time?

If you think about it, that’s why the Emperor’s treasury has attracted so many powerful beings—it’s all to prevent the Human Race from acquiring the Emperor’s twelve golden men.

It’s not that Jiang Chen was overthinking; there were simply too many "independent cultivators" arriving, which made him suspicious.

These independents had unclear identities, no background, and no known affiliations; even if the Human Race wanted revenge afterward, they couldn’t find them.

Clearly, these independents were all notable figures in Prehistoric World, either their avatars or their disguised personae.

They were sent to the Emperor’s treasury this time to seize the twelve golden men, all to create chaos for the Human Race.

If successful, they would joyously take the golden men and leave. If not, it wouldn’t matter. After all, it was only avatars and disguises that would die, with no real consequences for them.

"Tsk tsk, I am still too young!"

Jiang Chen felt somewhat helpless; at this moment, the drawback of his short cultivation time showed. Most of his energy was consumed in cultivation; he had no spare strength to create disguises or to condense avatars.

As for those powerhouses in Prehistoric World, each had lived at least tens of millions of years, possessing plenty of time and resources to create disguises and condense avatars. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

After all, if they had nothing better to do, why not create an avatar?

It’s quite normal for strong cultivators to create avatars, especially for those who couldn’t advance in strength in the short term. It’s a crucial task.

Because condensing an avatar is the quickest way to enhance one’s strength; each additional powerful avatar amplifies one’s own power further.

In Prehistoric World, there were not only Quasi-Saints of Great Perfection who had overthrown Great Divine Transcendents. What was his secret? It was relying on many avatars.

In the ancient beginnings, there was a Quasi-Saint of Great Perfection who, with three avatars of the same level, set up the Innate Four Symbols Great Array and made a Great Divine Transcendent flee in panic.

Soon after, this Quasi-Saint of Great Perfection fused his three avatars and attempted to break through into the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial realm. Although he failed, he became a Great Divine Transcendent.

There were even rumors that one of the mightiest beings from ancient times spent hundreds of millions of years forging nine Quasi-Saint Great Perfection level avatars. Later, he fused them into one and leapt into the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

This rumor might very well be true because, at that time in Chaos, there indeed was a disturbance of the Primordial Level, which many Great Divine Transcendents sensed.

You see, the benefits of avatars are so clear. Those powerhouses of Prehistoric World, as long as they can, why wouldn’t they create several avatars?

Moreover, besides enhancing strength and aiding in breakthroughs, avatars can also commit deeds the true self can’t be seen doing, making them the perfect fall guys.

Such a convenient tool—at the very thought, if those powerhouses in Prehistoric World don’t condense avatars, that would indeed be foolish.

"Truly disgusting!"

Jiang Chen secretly summoned the Tao Mirror, carefully checking the void outside Nanbuzhan Continent, and found that in just a short while, six Quasi-Saint level figures had arrived, all of whom were inconspicuous and unknown.

Isn’t this blatantly telling others that there’s a problem?

Frankly speaking, every cultivator above the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign has a traceable background and connections. It’s entirely implausible for a Quasi-Saint to suddenly appear, claiming to have been in seclusion for hundreds of millions of years and just emerged.

Heaven and Earth have shattered twice; claiming continuous seclusion is just deceiving the gullible.

"Pity the Tao Mirror isn’t powerful enough to trace their real backgrounds. Otherwise, I could expose their true identities on the spot. No need for me to act personally; that alone would drive them away."

Jiang Chen felt disappointed yet slightly relieved.

Disappointed that the power of the Tao Mirror was not strong enough. Revealing their true origins would cause them to retreat on their own, fearing the Human Race’s vengeance.

Relieved because Empress Nuwa had intervened before, which was still effective. Hence, the people behind the scenes didn’t dare to send Great Divine Transcendents, only some Quasi-Saints. If a Great Divine Transcendent had come, the situation would really be serious.

"Ah, avatars!

When it comes to incarnations, Jiang Chen has exactly 129,600 of them, but when it comes to avatars, he has none."

Avatars are different from incarnations; while incarnations are parts of the body, avatars, aside from completely obeying the original self, are another self, much more powerful than incarnations.

"Master said, the Emperor’s treasury is the Emperor’s conspiracy. It seems the Emperor’s intended targets must be these people." Feeling the increasing influx of strong cultivators, Jiang Chen was angry but not afraid.
