Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1261 - 870 The Invincible First Emperor (Part 1)_2

Thus, with the Cycle Star Array complementing the twelve God-killing Arrays, and the addition of millions of Martial Dao puppets within, Xianyang city could boast a combat strength comparable to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos. freewebnσvel.cøm

But sadly, he only managed to refine the twelve golden men to the realm of an Innate Dao Sovereign before he fell to the Heavenly Curse and would never see the day that Xianyang city reached its grandeur.

"Do you know why I let those experts in?" Suddenly, Emperor Qin asked.

"Does the Emperor want to refine them and then have all twelve golden men advance to the realm of Quasi-Saints?" Jiang Chen offered his speculation.

"Yes, with so many experts arriving this time, if they could all be refined, it would at least advance the twelve golden men to the realm of Quasi-Saints."

"But that’s still not enough!"

"I’ve put in so much effort, set such a grand strategy, how could I justify my investment without killing a Great Divine Transcendent?"

Emperor Qin’s words left Jiang Chen somewhat confused. What grand strategy? Could he have overlooked something?

"I know there are many things you don’t understand. While we still have time before the others arrive, let’s talk." Emperor Qin descended from the throne and stood beside Jiang Chen, speaking to him:

"To you, the most precious treasure in Xianyang city might be those twelve golden men. But in reality, to some people, the most valuable thing within Xianyang city is, in fact, this will of the Martial Dao."

"My will of the Martial Dao contains my life’s cultivation, as well as the many mysteries of the Great Dao of water that I acquired while controlling the floods."

"One could say that in the eyes of some, my strand of Martial Dao will is as valuable as an Innate Treasure. By refining me, they might have the chance to achieve the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos in one fell swoop."

Emperor Qin didn’t specify who these people were, but Jiang Chen could guess. They were the Great Divine Transcendents who cultivated the Innate ways of water. They had a deep-seated and indissoluble enmity with death.

It was a grudge that blocked one’s path, an enmity so severe that it would not end until death.

Indeed, Yu’s control of the floods was an achievement for the entire world, but it spoiled the schemes of certain individuals, specifically, those Great Divine Transcendents who cultivated the Innate ways of water.

When the Prehistoric dragon broke the Heavenly Dam and unleashed the waters of the Heavenly River, causing massive flooding, it was these Great Divine Transcendents of the Innate ways of water who fanned the flames from behind, escalating the flood’s reach until it became a disaster that plagued the entire Prehistoric World.

Their aim was naturally to turn the entire Prehistoric World into a marshland. This way, with the sudden surge in their water-related Fate, they could achieve the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos in one strike.

And Yu’s flood control efforts abruptly severed their path to attaining the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos. How could they not despise Yu for that?

This was a grudge that obstructed the way. In the Prehistoric World, it was the gravest enmity of all, without equal.

Not to mention, because Yu had successfully managed the floods, nearly all the creation-related powers of water in the world had converged upon him.

For those Great Divine Transcendents who practiced the Innate ways of water, these creation-related powers were supremely important, a Supreme Treasure, the key that would enable them to reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos.

Thus, Yu, who had accumulated all creation-related powers of water, became the most sought-after prize in the eyes of these Great Divine Transcendents, a walking Dao Fruit of the Primordial Realm.

Unfortunately for them, Yu’s power was too formidable, and his status was comparable to that of the Human Emperor. While he was alive, these Great Divine Transcendents had no chance against him and wouldn’t dare to harbor any malicious intentions.

But now, Yu had fallen!

If they couldn’t rival him while he was alive, could they still not stand against him now that he had fallen?

Therefore, it wasn’t hard to imagine that they would set their sights on the already deceased Emperor Qin.

"Is Emperor Qin waiting for them?"

Jiang Chen now understood that the group of Quasi-Saints outside were mere side dishes; the main course had yet to arrive.

"Correct! I purposely left behind this strand of Martial Dao will, just to lure them into the trap."

Emperor Qin nodded, acknowledging that his target had never been the Quasi-Saints outside, but rather those Primordial Water Deities who had always regarded him as their mortal enemy.

"How does Emperor Qin plan to deal with them?"

Jiang Chen didn’t quite understand. The fallen Emperor Qin, what confidence did he have to confront those Great Divine Transcendents who cultivated the Innate Path of Water?

Although, when Emperor Qin’s Martial Will exploded with full force, it could match the power of a Great Divine Transcendent, he couldn’t sustain it. After all, he was already fallen and couldn’t possibly be as powerful as when he was alive.

In his current state, he might be able to contend with a Great Divine Transcendent, but to say he could slay them was far-fetched.

Great Divine Transcendents weren’t fools either; if they really couldn’t defeat Emperor Qin, they could simply bide their time until his power exhausted, and naturally, they would emerge victorious in the end.

"I know what you’re worried about, that I am no match for those Great Divine Transcendents. Rest assured, perhaps previously I had no assurance, but seeing you, I now have complete confidence."

Knowing what worried Jiang Chen, Emperor Qin spoke with ease.

"???"

Instead of dispelling his confusion, Jiang Chen’s doubts only intensified.

Was he that impressive? He didn’t realize it himself. He could indeed match a Great Divine Transcendent and not be at a disadvantage with all his cards laid out.

But to say he could slay them, that was an exaggeration.

Great Divine Transcendents already possessed some aspects of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, infinitely approaching immortality. Defeating them was easy, but slaughtering them, even with an Innate Treasure, was not a simple matter.

"Don’t ask, this matter cannot be spoken aloud, once uttered, it will surely be sensed by them. If they sense the danger, they may decide not to come here," Emperor Qin shook his head, offering no explanation to Jiang Chen.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen somewhat realized what Emperor Qin’s trump card might be. If there was anything on him related to Emperor Qin, it would be the Hundred Schools of Thought tomes he obtained in Emperor Qin’s tomb.

Presumably, Emperor Qin’s surefire strategy had something to do with these tomes. Perhaps, he had laid a trap within them as well.

What this trap was, Jiang Chen had not discerned, but the Upper Qing Saints seemed to have seen it, otherwise they would not have sighed as they did.

"I have heard that the Duotian Shenfan is in your possession? If Mother Earth was willing to lend me this treasure back then, the twelve metal figures would not be Innate Dao Sovereigns now, but Quasi-Saints,"

Emperor Qin led Jiang Chen to the twelve metal figures and started to instruct him on how to control the treasure.

"The method of refining the twelve metal figures was deduced from the Marshal’s inheritance. This includes the art of refining Martial Dao puppets, which are also related to the Marshal’s inheritance."

"Unfortunately, the inheritance I received from the Marshal was incomplete; otherwise, the puppets’ strength could be even greater by a third,"

"You, like the Marshal, are from the Jiang Family; perhaps in the future, you may have the opportunity to enter the Marshal’s tomb and receive his complete inheritance,"

Now, Emperor Qin seemed to be setting his affairs in order, telling Jiang Chen all about the methods to control Xianyang City, the various arrangements within, and highlighting some places that required special attention.

The Marshal, that is Chiyou, although Chiyou was defeated by the Human Sovereign Xuanyuan, he is still worshipped as a righteous deity by the Human Race. The character for the dawn’s populace, "Li," originates from Jiuli.

Emperor Qin was also a man of great fortune; after his reincarnation, he unexpectedly received part of Chiyou’s inheritance. It was precisely because of this that he had the means to create the twelve metal figures.

"Stay here and refine Xianyang City. No matter what happens later, do not show yourself,"

Having finished giving his instructions, Emperor Qin suddenly spoke to Jiang Chen. Then, he saw Emperor Qin leave this place and head towards the outside world.

Jiang Chen knew that Emperor Qin was now using himself as bait to attract his mortal enemies, those Great Divine Transcendents who cultivated the Innate Path of Water, to come to Xianyang City.

At the same time, he would clear out all those Quasi-Saint powerhouses outside, thereby strengthening the twelve metal figures.
