Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1247 - 863 Eve of the Great War, Eliminating Hidden Dangers_2

Chapter 1247: 863 Eve of the Great War, Eliminating Hidden Dangers_2

Recalling the words of the Upper Qing Saints earlier, Jiang Chen faintly sensed that Emperor Qin had anticipated this very scene before his demise. Thus, hidden within Emperor Qin’s treasury, there were indeed plots targeting these individuals.

However, Jiang Chen could not understand what kind of ultimate weapon Emperor Qin had prepared that could kill several Quasi-Saints and dozens of Innate Taoist Masters in one fell swoop.

If it were before—when he was unaware of Emperor Qin’s true identity—he might have thought that Emperor Qin had acquired the treasure vaults of Great Shang or Chiyou.

But now that he knew Emperor Qin was King Yu, Jiang Chen understood that Emperor Qin would never touch those two great treasure vaults.

He knew his time was short, and he wouldn’t be able to maximize the value of the treasures from these two vaults with the limited time he had left.

Therefore, he preferred not to take the treasures from these vaults, leaving them for future generations instead.

"Alas, whether King Yu or Emperor Qin, both were shrouded in mystery. Perhaps he had some trump card I am unaware of."

Jiang Chen might not comprehend Emperor Qin’s methods, but that did not matter. At the moment Emperor Qin’s treasury emerged, he would understand everything. However, before that happened, he had another matter to attend to.

The Taoist Mirror dimly glowed, creating a doppelgänger for Jiang Chen, silently replacing him. Meanwhile, the real Jiang Chen quietly arrived in the Prehistoric Divine Territory.

"What is Heavenly Earthly Origin compared to Mount Buzhou, which is the true foundation of Heaven and Earth? If I’m going to move the Chaos Dao Fetus, why not place it beneath Mount Buzhou? Then, when the Chaos World is reshaped, Mount Buzhou will transform the false into truth."

"By then, my Chaos Dao Fetus will be protected by Mount Buzhou, and I refuse to believe that anyone would be audacious enough to sever Mount Buzhou a second time, defying the great taboo of all under Heaven."

After thinking it over, Jiang Chen felt it was better to place the Chaos Dao Fetus under Mount Buzhou rather than within the Heavenly Earthly Origin.

Ultimately, there wasn’t much difference between the two—if the Chaos World was to be reshaped by him, the Heavenly Earthly Origin would naturally converge beneath Mount Buzhou. Moreover, anyone bold enough to strike at Mount Buzhou would also dare to meddle with the Heavenly Earthly Origin.

Therefore, placing the Chaos Dao Fetus into Mount Buzhou was no different than placing it in the Heavenly Earthly Origin. No, there was a difference—at least, Mount Buzhou was Jiang Chen’s territory, but the Heavenly Earthly Origin belonged to Heavenly Dao.

If Jiang Chen placed the Chaos Dao Fetus inside it and Heavenly Dao suddenly schemed against him, what then? When you’re out in the world, it’s best to always be wary of others.

Putting the Chaos Dao Fetus in Mount Buzhou wasn’t difficult, but as the Chaos Dao Fetus separated from his body, Jiang Chen immediately felt a sense of emptiness. Although his strength wasn’t significantly affected, he had lost many abilities.

For example, previously, with the Chaos Green Lotus, regardless of how severe Jiang Chen’s injuries were, he could recover instantly, akin to an alternative form of indestructibility.

Similarly, the Chaos Green Lotus provided Jiang Chen with unparalleled power, enabling him to expend mana at will, without worrying about depletion even when unleashing the strongest Divine Abilities continuously.

But now, all these abilities were gone. If he exceeded his own limits, Jiang Chen would be injured, and if he kept using his strongest Divine Abilities, he would feel fatigued.

It seemed as though his strength hadn’t been affected, but in reality, the impact was substantial. To put it simply, he was not as enduring as before, which was a significant change.

But there were also advantages. Previously, Jiang Chen lamented the lack of an avatar, and now he had one. With the departure of the Chaos Dao Fetus, this body had become his avatar.

His true form was the Chaos Dao Fetus and not this body of an Innate Saint. Ever since the first time he condensed the Chaos Dao Fetus, this body was no longer his true self.

"Although I am not as enduring as before, at least I won’t die now. On the whole, that’s still a good thing."

The detachment of the Chaos Dao Fetus brought with it many shortcomings, but the single advantage of being undying was enough to overshadow all the flaws.

"There are still a dozen or so days before the emergence of Emperor Qin’s treasury. While there’s still time, I might as well cross the heavenly tribulation."

Calculating the time and finding himself a window, Jiang Chen decisively left the Three Realms and went directly beyond to the outer Chaos to face his tribulation—the Demonic Calamity, also known as the divine punishment.

This divine punishment arose because of the Sin Treasure Wheel!

Originally, Jiang Chen’s Merit Gold Wheel could firmly suppress the Sin Treasure Wheel. But after he slew the nine great Quasi-Saints from myriad races, the karmic sin on his body skyrocketed multiple times in a single day, not only forming the tenth Sin Treasure Wheel but also nearly completing the eleventh.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the mere sin of slaughtering the nine Quasi-Saints of myriad tribes was several times greater than all of the misdeeds Jiang Chen had committed before, combined.

Who could blame him, when those nine Quasi-Saints of myriad tribes had merited for Heaven and Earth? Killing them was a direct affront to the Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t the burden of his sins multiply?

If it weren’t for the fact that the Human Race’s Fate on Jiang Chen was so immense that it suppressed the karmic forces, then the moment he slew those nine Quasi-Saints, heavenly punishment would have already descended upon him.

Theoretically, as long as Jiang Chen remained the Human King, protected by the Human Race’s Fate, then heavenly punishment would not befall him.

If talking about sin, Taiyi’s was much greater than Jiang Chen’s. All nine Quasi-Saints of myriad tribes combined couldn’t compare to a single Dong Wang Gong, yet when Taiyi decided to kill, why didn’t the Heavenly Dao punish him?

The Heavenly Dao does not punish those with great merit or great fortune. Taiyi had both, so naturally he would not be punished, and the same went for Jiang Chen.

Yet Jiang Chen thought it over and still felt it was best to get through the heavenly punishment first.

Times had changed. Countless tens of thousands of years had passed since the Great Ancient era, and over these lengthy ages, many previously unsolvable things now had methods of restraint.

Just from what Jiang Chen himself knew, there were several methods to shield Fate, not to mention the ones he was unaware of.

Next, he would face a fierce battle. If in the midst of it, the enemy suddenly used a secret method to shield his Human Race’s Fate, that would be quite problematic. The Heavenly Dao would be merciless and directly bestow upon him its retribution. freewebnøvel.coɱ

With powerful enemies outside and heavenly punishment above, Jiang Chen’s situation would be perilous. To prevent any accidents, he should deal with the heavenly punishment now.

This was a way to eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

Indeed, severing the connection to the Human Race’s Fate wouldn’t affect Jiang Chen’s strength because as his position as Human King became more secure, his power no longer came from the Human Race’s Fate, but from the Human King Dao Fruit.

As long as the Human King Dao Fruit remained, his strength wouldn’t be affected.

...

Stepping into the chaos beyond the world, Jiang Chen actively severed his connection with the Human Race’s Fate, while at the same time, he concealed his Merit Gold Wheel, allowing the ten Sin Treasure Wheels, enwreathed with black flames, to appear behind him.

In an instant, an overwhelming tide of karmic forces erupted, forcibly pushing away the surrounding Chaos Qi.

This evil force caught the attention of the Heavenly Dao as soon as it appeared.

Boom!

The muffled sound of thunder began, and a purple vertical pupil emerged, suspended high above the Chaos, merciless and indifferent, exuding endless majesty.

This was the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, said to be the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao’s eye, similar to the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, held by the ancient ancestor of the Heavenly Human Race, Ancestor Qing. However, the eye before him was materialized from the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Only the heavenly punishment worthy of a Quasi-Saint would cause the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to appear. Moreover, it was just one eye, not a pair.

If at this moment, a pair of cold pupils appeared before Jiang Chen, he would have retreated without a word, not lingering for a moment.

One eye was the treatment for a Quasi-Saint; two eyes were reserved for Great Divine Transcendents and Saints.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had only manifested ten Sin Treasure Wheels, which corresponded precisely to the level of a Quasi-Saint. Had he manifested eleven Sin Treasure Wheels, he definitely wouldn’t dare to brave the heavenly punishment today.

Boom!

The Heavenly Dao wasted no time with words, and the moment it appeared, it unleashed countless punishing thunderbolts, aiming a heaven-covering barrage directly at Jiang Chen.

Heavenly punishment knew no rules, it wasn’t a matter of just a few dozen or a few hundred thunderbolts and then it’s over, instead, it struck continuously for ten days and nights.
