Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1253 - 866 The Generous Beginnings of the First Emperor_2

Chapter 1253: 866 The Generous Beginnings of the First Emperor_2

"Truly worthy of being called the man known as the ancestral dragon, surpassing the Three Sovereigns in achievements, exceeding the Five Emperors in virtue, self-proclaimed as Emperor."

After unexpectedly perceiving the aura of the Purple Mist Star, Jiang Chen felt both surprised and that it was only natural. All emperors could receive the blessings of the Purple Mist Star.

And as the first emperor, having attained the utmost supreme dominance, he naturally received the Purple Mist Star’s favor. Under such circumstances, his ability to sense the Purple Mist Star from afar was nothing strange.

This was also precisely the realm Jiang Chen was currently pursuing.

As long as he could sense the Purple Mist Star from afar, Jiang Chen would be able to determine the star’s location. Afterward, all he had to do was to refine the Original Source of the Purple Mist Star, and the day he would become Emperor Ziwei, ruling over the stars, would not be distant.

...

......

Having observed the outskirts of Xianyang City for a long time, Jiang Chen hadn’t stepped inside, not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t.

The moment he set foot in this place, he realized that the traps left by the first emperor did not differentiate between friend and foe. This meant that no matter who came here, as long as they intended to enter Xianyang City, they would become the target of these formations.

This feeling was as though the orders left by the first emperor were to annihilate all enemies.

Actually, Jiang Chen could understand why the first emperor had arranged things this way; such a treasure land could not be without restrictions.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen could guarantee that if the only rule left by the first emperor was that those entering this place must be of the Human Race, then all the experts arriving today would come in the guise of the Human Race.

For a Quasi-Saint level expert, impersonating the Human Race would be a simple matter. It’s not just about deceiving the first emperor; deceiving the Human King wouldn’t be difficult either.

If Jiang Chen were to impersonate a member of the Demon Clan now, without taking any action, even Di Jun would not suspect him of being a fake.

"Eh? That’s odd, where did those eight fellows who entered before me go?"

Jiang Chen had been there for a while, but what was strange was that those eight people who had arrived before him had all disappeared without a trace, and he had no idea where they had gone.

"Could it be that they are hiding, wanting me to scout the way for them?"

A thought crossed his mind, and Jiang Chen roughly guessed their intentions, wanting him to be the cannon fodder to probe the path ahead.

The eight people might not recognize the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Heavenly God Formation, but they would surely recognize the pollution of Heaven and Earth’s Qi.

If it was this dangerous at the outset, the path ahead would be even more difficult to navigate. None of the eight wanted to be sacrificed as cannon fodder and scout the way for others. Therefore, after they arrived here, they immediately hid, planning to follow others into Xianyang City.

At worst, they would join forces with everyone else and enter the city together. In any case, they would definitely not be the first to stick their necks out.

"Thinking of using me to scout the way for you, without even considering who you are dealing with, what a joke."

With a cold laugh, Jiang Chen brought out the Tao Mirror and hid inside, disappearing on the spot.

"Hm?"

"What?"

"Where did the Human King go?"

"He was just here a moment ago, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

The eight who were hiding in the shadows had been closely watching Jiang Chen ever since he arrived.

They thought that since Jiang Chen was the Human King and the first emperor was also a Human King, perhaps Jiang Chen possessed some method to bypass the restrictions of this place and directly enter Xianyang City.

Therefore, they hid themselves, intending to follow Jiang Chen into Xianyang City.

But what they didn’t expect was that right under their watchful eyes, Jiang Chen suddenly vanished, and despite all their efforts, they could find no trace of him.

What a joke, the Tao Mirror’s method of concealment was such that even a Saint might not be able to see through it, let alone the eight Quasi-Saints. Even if Jiang Chen stood right in front of them, they wouldn’t be able to detect him.

"Hmph, I’ll settle the score with you later." frёewebηovel.cѳm

When these eight Quasi-Saints were searching for Jiang Chen’s whereabouts, naturally, he sensed it. He initially wanted to give these eight a harsh lesson, but then he suddenly sensed several strong presences approaching from behind.

Recognizing that another expert had arrived, Jiang Chen, worried about complications, glanced coldly at the eight figures before urging the Tao Mirror on towards Xianyang City.

Right now, the most urgent matter was to seize the Twelve Golden Men and gain control of Xianyang City.

With control of Xianyang City and relying on the Twelve Golden Men as well as the formations left by the First Emperor, Jiang Chen was confident he could slay all the experts who rushed to Xianyang City.

As for the formations outside Xianyang City, Jiang Chen was not in the slightest worry, not to mention that he was a grandmaster of formation himself, but with the Tao Mirror in hand, he had nothing to fear.

One of the Tao Mirror’s abilities was to disregard all prohibitions and formations. As early as when Jiang Chen first emerged, it was with this ability of the Tao Mirror that he managed to take the treasures left in the First Emperor’s tomb.

Now, the Tao Mirror was far more powerful than it had been before—while the formations left by the First Emperor were formidable, they couldn’t stop the Tao Mirror.

...

...

Just as Jiang Chen set off for Xianyang City, behind him, ancestors such as Kunpeng, Master Randeng, Yun Zhongzi, and others, finally arrived at this place.

"Eight friends, please come out and meet us!"

Arriving here, Kunpeng did not beat about the bush and directly called out for the eight hiding in the shadows to show themselves. None of them were fools; they didn’t wish to be cannon fodder and were naturally unwilling to scout ahead for the eight.

Thus, it was better for everyone to move together.

"Greetings to the several friends!"

The eight Quasi-Saints did not stubbornly hide and appeared from the void the moment Kunpeng’s voice fell.

"Just now, the Human King was also here, but for some reason, he suddenly vanished from his place," the strongest among the eight said to the crowd upon appearing.

"Amitabha Buddha, honorable ones, do not concern yourselves with him. Jiang Chen possesses a mirror which is a top-notch Innate Spiritual Treasure, even more formidable than the Haotian Mirror. Not only can it monitor across the heavens, but it is also adept in concealing one’s whereabouts."

"If he doesn’t wish to be seen, even a Saint might not be able to find him," said Master Randeng, uttering the name of Buddha and sharing the information he knew about Jiang Chen.

He had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Tao Mirror. Just when he thought he was about to escape the Three Realms, the Tao Mirror brutally located him, causing him not only a clone’s death but also the loss of a precious treasure necessary for proving the Tao.

Therefore, he paid great attention to the Tao Mirror, naturally gathering much information about it.

"So that’s how it is!"

The crowd nodded, then ceased their discussion, instead looking together toward the front, at the mountains and rivers formed from the impurities of Heaven and Earth.

"This Great Yu is truly fascinating; as Great Yu, he committed no killings in life, upholding a principle that is greatly admirable. However, after he was reincarnated as the First Emperor, he became ruthless and decisive in killing, with who knows how much blood on his hands."

"Just look at the formation in front of us, set up using the impurities of Heaven and Earth—how malicious it is!"

Recalling the differences between the First Emperor’s two lives, Kunpeng couldn’t help shaking his head. Then, without waiting for the reactions of the others, he strode forward.

Kunpeng was a demon sage, known as the first sage of wisdom among the Demon Clan, and at the same time, he was a master of the Prehistoric World’s formation arts, contributing greatly to the deduction of the Star Array in the past.

Although the formation arranged by the First Emperor was mysterious, it couldn’t stop him. Seen entering the mountains and rivers formed from the impurities of Heaven and Earth, the First Emperor’s measures had no effect on him, allowing him to pass through as if he were walking on level ground.

Next, Randeng used some unknown Divine Ability and also passed through safely. As for Yun Zhongzi, with a Saint’s methods protecting him, the impurities of Heaven and Earth naturally couldn’t harm him.

As for the other Quasi-Saints, although they did not have the capabilities of Kunpeng, they had strength in numbers.

Accompanying Kunpeng and the two others were four Quasi-Saints, plus the earlier eight, making a total of twelve Quasi-Saints.

These twelve Quasi-Saints joined hands and crossed directly through the impurities of Heaven and Earth, catching up with Kunpeng and the others’ pace.

The measures left by the First Emperor were indeed strong, even posing a threat to Quasi-Saints, but there were too many experts this time.

With twelve Quasi-Saints working together, even the First Emperor, in his lifetime, would frown upon seeing them; let alone now that he had fallen.

His left-behind measures naturally couldn’t stop them.
