Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1344 - 913 Demon Immortal

Demon Immortal — this once referred to members of the demon clan.

After all, Di Jun Taiyi had once listened to the Tao at Zixiao Palace and practiced the orthodox mystic sect techniques as disciples of the Taoist Ancestors.

Thus, the demon clan they created, any clansmen who cultivated the Immortal Dao techniques to become immortals, could be called Demon Immortals.

To put it simply, Demon Immortal is actually Human Immortal. After all, the word human in Prehistoric World does not represent the Human Race, but all living beings between Heaven and Earth.

However, later the Human Race became too powerful, successively producing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as the nine supreme beings like Da Yu, which led to the Human Race redefining the Human Path. Hereafter, unless specially stated otherwise, human referred to the Human Race, not all the beings of the Human Path.

According to Di Jun Taiyi’s initial plan, it was to peacefully develop the Demon Clan. As long as the Demon Clan could unify Heaven and Earth, they would reach the peak of Fate and thereby redefine the Human Path into the Demon Path.

At that time, all living beings between Heaven and Earth would no longer be of the Human Path but of the Demon Path. Gods and ghosts of Heaven and Earth, too, would transform into gods and ghosts of the demonic realm; the three powers would change from Heaven, Earth, Human to Heaven, Earth, Demon.

If Di Jun Taiyi had truly accomplished this, then except for the Innate Divine Demons, all living beings between Heaven and Earth would become part of the Demon Clan. freeweɓnøvel.com

All races would thus be unified under them, and the Fate of Heaven and Earth would converge upon them, elevating them to an unparalleled realm, transcending Primordial Chaos and achieving the Creation of the Infinite.

Sadly, Di Jun had grand plans, but throughout his entire life, he was unable to make the Demon Clan surpass the Witch Clan.

Had it not been for Mother Earth transforming into reincarnation, causing the Witch Clan to sever one of its arms, the outcome of the Witch-Demon War would have been rewritten, and the Demon Clan would not even have managed mutual destruction with the Witch Clan.

In the end, Di Jun exhausted his life striving only to achieve mutual destruction with the Witch Clan, also destroying the Chaos World in the process. It was for this reason that the term Demon Immortal became thoroughly vilified, turning into a synonym for criminals.

Now, what Jiang Chen needed to do was to rebuild the line of Demon Immortals, aiming to rid it of its vilified status.

This is crucial; once Demon Immortals are rid of the stigma, the Demon Clan will bear the infamy. At that time, the Demon Clan will become the lineage of criminals, and it would be difficult for them to overturn their fate.

Moreover, by rebuilding the line of Demon Immortals, Jiang Chen could distinguish them from the Demon Clan. Then, the Demon Clan would precisely be the criminals of Prehistoric World and would have no connection whatsoever with the Mystic Sect.

Having lost the Fate of the Demon Immortals, it’s akin to amputating an arm of the Demon Clan, and Jiang Chen is set to trample heavily on the corpse of the Demon Clan, pressing down with several stones to ensure they never rise again.

The Human Race and the Demon Clan are mortal enemies; therefore, Humans could never bear the name Demon. So how would Jiang Chen rebuild the line of Demon Immortals?

Now, isn’t this the opportunity?

With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy in the Nine States, all beings of Heaven and Earth benefitted, leading numerous animals and plants nourished by the Innate Spiritual Energy to develop intelligence and transform into monsters and spirits.

Animals that transform are called monsters, and plants that transform are called spirits.

They too are demons, yet they have no connection whatsoever with the Ancient Demon Clan. What is the Ancient Demon Clan? Although called demons, they are actually gods, descendants of the Innate Divine Demons.

This group of spirits and monsters is composed of mortal beings, how could they be related to the Demon Clan? Even if they wanted to seek kinship, the Demon Clan wouldn’t regard them at all.

Just like the great demons that once roamed the Three Realms, claiming to be of the Demon Clan; could they genuinely call themselves the Demon Clan? Only great demons like Bull Demon King and Peng Demon King, who had connections with the upper echelons of the Demon Clan, genuinely counted as part of the Demon Clan.

The rest hardly caught the true Demon Clan’s eye, not even qualifying to be their food.

It is for this reason, having no ties with the Demon Clan, that Jiang Chen focused on them. All are demons; why should the Demon Clan be superior while these mortal demons remain as lowly as dust?

Jiang Chen intended to cultivate these demons, allowing them to replace the Demon Clan and become the new Demon Immortals.

Years ago, when Jiang Chen launched a campaign in Dongsheng Divine Continent, he swept clean the remnants of Demon Immortals disguised as the Demon Clan. Although this act benefited the Human Race, it also incurred complaints from several Great Divine Transcendents.

Because of this act, those initially prepared to recommend Jiang Chen as the Immortal Emperor ceased mentioning it, as if they had forgotten about it altogether.

Their collective change in attitude occurred because Jiang Chen’s slaying of the Demon Immortal lineage had weakened the Mystic Sect’s Fate, affecting their interests.

Although destroying Spiritual Mountain returned some of the Buddhist door’s Fate to the Mystic Sect, eradicating the Demon Immortal lineage also caused a portion of the Mystic Sect’s Fate to be lost.

Between these gains and losses, Jiang Chen’s merits naturally vanished, and the matter of becoming Immortal Emperor dissolved.

Erasing the Demon Immortal lineage became Jiang Chen’s greatest sin. After all, although the Demon Immortal lineage was not listed among the Five Immortals of Heaven, Earth, and Human Spirits and Ghosts, it was an important and indispensable component of the Immortal Dao, just like Tool Immortals, Sword Immortals, and Talisman Immortals.

Jiang Chen’s eradication of the Demon Immortal lineage, that the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect could restrain themselves from acting against him, was in recognition of the great contributions he had previously made to the Mystic Sect.

Since it was a sin, he needed to find a way to atone. Rebuilding the Demon Immortal lineage by Jiang Chen now was about rectifying past wrongs, erasing one to return another.

Moreover, this newly established Demon Immortal lineage would be purer than before. The previous Demon Immortals, though called immortals, were actually remnants of the Demon Clan, criminals of Prehistoric World, with demon placed before immortal in their hearts.
