Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1337 - 909 Family_2

Looking at Jiang Chen now, the Patriarch of the Jiang Family was filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that in just a few hundred years, the child who once needed his care had already reached the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth, becoming one of the most powerful beings in existence.

Hearing his uncle mention his parents, Jiang Chen remained silent. He knew that his birth was his parents’ expectation and the continuation of their lives.

If that weren’t the case, they wouldn’t have left nothing behind after sacrificing themselves, except precisely two streams of lifeblood.

Even without the intervention of experts from both families, over time, these two wisps of blood would have merged and transformed into living beings. The experts from both families merely hastened this process.

"Sigh, I really wanted to see you get married and have children, as a way to honor your parents. Sadly, I’m afraid I may never see that day."

The Patriarch of the Jiang Family felt helpless. His greatest hope for Jiang Chen wasn’t fame that shook the world, but for him to settle down early, get married, have children, and live a peaceful life.

In this way, he would have done justice to his deceased brother and sister-in-law. But unfortunately, Jiang Chen had always been resolute and never listened to him, which gave him quite a headache.

Jiang Chen was speechless in his heart. He hadn’t expected that his uncle was still concerned about this matter. Since his cultivation had become significant, he had never returned home, and the reason was to avoid this very uncle.

Ever since he came of age, his uncle had been arranging blind dates for him, from noble maidens in the heavens to outstanding women of the secular world. As long as he deemed someone suitable, he would think of introducing her to Jiang Chen, which truly frightened him.

From the fact that Jiang Chen had not dared to return home for years, one could understand the gravity of the situation; it was more daunting than facing a Saint.

"Do you have any plans for coming back this time?" the Patriarch of the Jiang Family shifted the topic and spoke of more pressing matters.

Since Jiang Chen had cultivated to become an Innate Dao Sovereign, the Patriarch had lessened his desire for Jiang Chen to start a family and establish himself. With the capabilities of a Dao Sovereign, if he so wished, offspring and such were things he could have in abundance.

"What else could it be, naturally to unite the Human Race and aspire to the throne of the Human Emperor."

"The throne in the heavens I shall take, the throne on the earth, and even the throne underneath, I shall have them all. Otherwise, how can I call myself Emperor Ziwei?"

Jiang Chen straightforwardly revealed his thoughts; by this point, what he intended to do was essentially known to others, and there was no need for further concealment.

"Sigh, you’ve grown too quickly; I can no longer be of any help to you. This is the Patriarch’s seal; I’ll leave it in your care for now."

"Thanks to your blessings, I’ve been breaking through continuously recently and am not far from reaching the Dao Venerable Realm. It’s good that you’ve returned; I can hand over the Jiang Family to you and go into seclusion."

The Patriarch of the Jiang Family took out a red-golden seal and handed it to Jiang Chen.

As an uncle, he wanted to help Jiang Chen, but unfortunately, Jiang Chen grew too fast. Before he even realized it, Jiang Chen had become someone he looked up to.

The enemies Jiang Chen faced were far beyond his ability to contend with, leaving him powerless even if he wanted to help.

It’s all because Jiang Chen was too outstanding.

"Uncle is about to have a breakthrough; that’s great news. I have a mass of Chaos Origin here, consider it a gift from me to you."

Jiang Chen glanced and saw that the Patriarch indeed stood on the cusp of a breakthrough. He took out a mass of Chaos Origin and handed it over to him.

While Chaos Origin was a precious item, if the quantity was too small, it wouldn’t be very significant and would not have much effect.

But if the quantity was ample, it was extraordinary—equivalent to an Innate Dao Fruit. After refining it, one could become an Innate Dao Sovereign.

Jiang Chen, of course, was not stingy. The mass of Chaos Origin he gave was definitely enough for the Patriarch to break through to become the Chaos Origin once he refined it.

"..."

Looking at the mass of Chaos Origin enveloped in Dao Rhyme before him, the Patriarch of the Jiang Family was somewhat speechless. He hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to be so generous. However, he did not act reservedly with Jiang Chen and accepted it directly.

Chaos Origin was something even Saints yearned for, yet Jiang Chen did not lack it.

Every day in the Boundless Starry Sky saw the purification of immense quantities of Chaos Qi, Jiang Chen could easily take a bit of it without ever running out of Chaos Origin.

...

........

After bidding farewell to his uncle, Jiang Chen arrived at the Jiang Family’s council hall, calling all the chief stewards to discuss matters.

"What they call deliberation is in actuality just a matter of acknowledging kinsmen; the primary aim was to have the clan members of the Jiang Family recognize Jiang Chen to avoid the embarrassment of encountering him without knowing who he is.

As for deliberation?

It wasn’t even on the table. Given Jiang Chen’s current realm, if he wanted to know something, he could simply divine it and be aware; the changes in Nanbuzhan Continent and the influence of the Jiang Family were all within his mind.

What was there to discuss? He knew everything, and if he wanted something done, he could easily decide it with a single word.

All he needed to do was give the orders.

People say that one person cannot govern the world well, but that refers to the Human Race. In the Immortal World, that saying doesn’t hold water.

Take Jiang Chen for instance, he could perfectly manifest billions of avatars. What does that mean? That means, so long as Jiang Chen doesn’t mind the exertion, he could singlehandedly maintain the whole nation’s operations.

Whether it be the civil and military officials or the lower-level bureaucrats, all could be him alone. There was no room for duplicitous compliance or blanket policies gone wrong. After all, it would all be himself, and his will would be carried out with one hundred percent efficacy.

Of course, Jiang Chen was merely thinking about this, and he wouldn’t do so unless it was absolutely necessary. However, when needed, it wasn’t beyond him to take such actions.

Looking at it from another angle, this was also a form of Practice, experiencing different lives concurrently and gaining various insights. When these were integrated as one, it would enhance one’s state of mind.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen had an epiphany; he knew how to elevate his mental state. Were his perceptiveness insufficient? No matter, many Divine Abilities could compensate for that.

Such as the ’Great Dream of Ages,’ or the various Reincarnations, or even the recent idea Jiang Chen mentioned, segmenting into thousands—it all could enable him to comprehend different lives in the shortest time possible, thereby quickly elevating his mental state.

Indeed, so long as one’s thinking doesn’t falter, there would always be more solutions than problems.

...

Once the principal figures from various locales of the Jiang Family had all arrived, Jiang Chen gave them a glance and couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

Very good!

Extremely good!

Three to four hundred years were sufficient to bring about many changes in the world. For example, the current stewards of the Jiang Family were no longer the same people from Jiang Chen’s youth.

They had transitioned to a new generation!

The old folk from before had gradually been replaced by the youth, and those who were young back then were now the elders. Like now, to these stewards, Jiang Chen himself was an elder.

What Jiang Chen detested the most before was attending family meetings because of his youth which meant that, looking around, he was mostly surrounded by elders, which was quite helpless.

Strength could elevate everything but couldn’t raise one’s seniority; even if you became a Saint, your father would still be your father, and that couldn’t be reversed.

Since they were all younger, Jiang Chen didn’t need to stand on ceremony, and he spoke to them, saying,

"Remember this face of mine. I will frequently walk among the Nine States from now on. If any clan member fails to recognize me and troubles me, I won’t hold it against them—I’ll only seek you out for causing me problems."

Having said that, Jiang Chen allowed them to imprint his image before letting them go. Actually, this was also a kind of blessing Jiang Chen gave to them.

Consider that Jiang Chen was now the master of the Boundless Starry Sky, comparable to a Saint, a carrier for the Tao, an emblem of the Tao—in simple terms, an embodiment of the Tao.

His image was the tangible carrier of the Tao, and to contemplate his visage all year round, even without full comprehension, was to merely remember it, and in the future, one could become a Golden Immortal.

"Ah, I hope they can understand my painstaking efforts."

After everyone had left, Jiang Chen sighed.

There’s a saying that the Law must not be lightly transmitted, and Jiang Chen couldn’t be too explicit with his words. He could only pass down his imprint in this way and let them comprehend it on their own.

Whether they could fully grasp it depended on their own fortune.

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen left the Jiang Family and headed for Cang Mountain. According to his plan, unifying the Nine States would begin with the establishment of the City God system!"
