Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1776 - 1137 Jiang Chen’s True Intention_2

"How can anyone trust you to hand over control of the Immortal World based on your actions? As for me, I certainly can’t."

"I’m afraid the other Daoist friends feel the same way."

Facing Taiyi’s accusations, Jiang Chen did not rebut them at all. Instead, he actively admitted them and even further criticized them, stating outright that they were unworthy of controlling the Immortal World.

"Indeed!"

"The Star Lord is right."

"We simply can’t trust putting the Immortal World in your hands."

"Judging from your previous actions, who knows if you’ll exploit the opportunity when no one is watching, betraying us and secretly devouring the Original Source of the Immortal World."

"By that time, even if everyone discovers it, what difference would it make? After all, you’ve already completed your breakthrough and could easily hide within the Great Chaos, never returning. No one can do anything to you."

As Jiang Chen finished speaking, not waiting for Taiyi and the others to refute, the surrounding Great Divine Transcendents already began to speak one after another. With such a significant issue arising, naturally, no one would feel secure entrusting the Immortal World to Taiyi and his group.

Not to mention those Great Divine Transcendents who stood on Jiang Chen’s side, even the Saint of Taiqing frowned.

After today’s incident, if anyone from Taiyi’s group secretly devours the Original Source of the Immortal World, it would tarnish the reputation of the Taoist Ancestors.

Since the Taoist Ancestors unified Tao, they are the only Saint of this age. Not a Saint in the realm or level but a Saint in moral integrity, without any blemishes.

But if because of this matter, the late virtue of the Taoist Ancestors is compromised and their reputation stained, how could anyone be worthy of the Taoist Ancestors’ teachings?

"This matter indeed must be guarded against!"

Silently, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign appeared, and clearly, he was supporting Jiang Chen as well.

Couldn’t not support him; the Five Elements Holy Beasts, along with the Taoist Ancestors’ other kindred, were watching on the side. If not handled well, in their mouths, the Taoist Ancestors would turn into a duplicitous villain.

On one hand, making them prioritize Heaven and Earth, while secretly teaching disciples to spare no means for breakthroughs, even stealing the Origin of the Chaos World.

How could such a person deserve to be a moral model of the Prehistoric World, respected by the world?

"What Jiang Chen said is correct. Since the Immortal World carries the fate of the Immortal Dao, its control should be collectively decided by the Immortal Dao, not dominated by the will of a certain group."

"This matter needs further discussion."

Empress Nuwa also arrived, standing clearly on Jiang Chen’s side.

Then, the Upper Qing Saints appeared as well. Although they didn’t speak, their attitude was obviously in support of Jiang Chen.

The Three Purities and Nuwa, the Four Saints of the Mystic Sect, are all personal disciples of the Taoist Ancestors. As for the Two Saints of the West, like everyone else, they are merely named disciples.

Their treatment shows it all. Back when the Taoist Ancestors gifted treasures, each of the Four True Disciples received one top-tier Innate Treasure. The other disciples, hardly had any, not to mention top-tier ones, even ordinary Innate Treasures were absent.

Concerning the master’s reputation, how dare the Four Saints of the Mystic Sect not appear?

"You fellow Daoists are overstepping; you must know, we are the ones who opened the Immortal World. Before it opened, none of you showed up or spoke."

"Now that the Immortal World has been opened, look at you, one after another jumping out to seize control of it."

"Where is the reasoning in this world?"

Taiyi erupted, angrily questioning everyone.

For a moment, everyone felt somewhat sheepish. Taiyi was indeed right; viewing the matter, it seemed they had acted unfairly.

During labor, there was no effort given; when fruits ripen, then comes the thought of sharing the fruits of labor, who could agree to that?

"Brother Taiyi, you are wrong in this. It’s not that we want to seize control of the Immortal World from your hands, but you are in the wrong first."

"If, after the opening of the Immortal World, you harbored no selfish intentions, if your mind was solely on how to strengthen the Immortal World, how could today’s situation have arisen?"

"It is precisely because of your excessive selfishness, treating the Immortal World as a tool, harming the interest of the Immortal Dao, that forced us to intervene and compete with you for control."

"In this matter, we are the victims. Brother Taiyi, there’s no need to speak as if you’re the victim."

Seeing the atmosphere turn tense, Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward, accusing Taiyi.

Clearly, what they were doing was a highly righteous deed, all for the sake of the future of the Immortal Dao. How could it be that in Taiyi’s words, they become the oppressors?

What they did was all for the future of the Immortal Dao, so what was wrong with that?

Ultimately, it was because Taiyi and the others did wrong, made mistakes, and Jiang Chen captured this flaw, giving him the chance to stand on the moral high ground, strongly condemning them.

If from the beginning, Taiyi and his group bore no intention of devouring the Original Source of the Immortal World, how could Jiang Chen have the opportunity to get a finger in the Immortal World?

When there are flaws in oneself, do not blame others. Look at Jiang Chen; even if he could devour the Original Source of the Nine States, he would have a chance to reach the realm of Wuji Daluo Jinxian, yet he didn’t do it.

In such a contrast, the disparity naturally emerged, giving Jiang Chen the confidence to criticize Taiyi and the others strongly.

In the same conditions, Jiang Chen resisted temptation, and Taiyi’s group did not. Naturally, in momentum, they would be weaker by a head.

"You’re truly shameless..."

Taiyi, left speechless by Jiang Chen’s words, couldn’t help but curse.

But the surrounding Great Divine Transcendents, after hearing Jiang Chen’s words, their initially wavering eyes immediately became firm.

Jiang Chen was right; their actions were all for the future of the Immortal Dao, driven by public interest, without an iota of selfishness. Given that, what was there to be ashamed of?

Only those with selfish motives would feel ashamed. People like them, who are committed to the public good, naturally feel no guilt.

Thinking this way, everyone suddenly felt themselves become grandiose. Consequently, they spoke out righteously:

"Brother Taiyi, your performance is just like someone whose secret has been exposed by the Star Lord, unable to control your rage."

"We are beings of the Daoist Immortals, should set an example for future generations. We must have grace; cursing is truly undignified, especially when you’re in the wrong."

"Brother Taiyi, you’ve lost your composure."

Everyone spoke one after another, truly infuriating Taiyi. However, he couldn’t make a move and could only glare at Jiang Chen with eyes ablaze.

Today, Taiyi truly lost his mind. This matter originally had nothing to do with him, as he had no plan to devour the Original Source of the Immortal World. The flames did not reach him inherently. But in order to stand up for everyone, he bore all the firepower, taking the blame for them.

But this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; at least, the people behind him now looked at him with a few more glances of admiration.

What does it mean to have responsibility? This is it.

Clearly, this matter had nothing to do with Taiyi, but just because he was the leader, he stood out without hesitation, taking on all the firepower for everyone.

"Alright, everyone, stop speaking. Aren’t you ashamed? Since you can’t come to an agreement, let me offer a suggestion."

"Currently, the Immortal World has three realms and thirty-six layers of heaven. How about this: I and Primordial each take a position as realm lord to oversee everyone, preventing any secret devouring of the Original Source of the Immortal World."

Seeing the crowd on the verge of arguing again, the Saint of Taiqing frowned and voiced his suggestion.

In his view, his proposal was the optimal solution. Having himself and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign oversee two realms was certainly better than allowing control of the Immortal World to fall into Jiang Chen’s hands.

Besides, with them presiding over the Immortal World, naturally, no outsider would suspect anyone of secretly devouring the Original Source of the Immortal World.

"Agreeable!"

Taiyi thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

This was indeed the best choice. After all, the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign could at least be considered allies, and the Sage of Taiqing also contributed to the opening of the Immortal World.

Handing over partial control of the Immortal World to them made sense, certainly better than giving it to Jiang Chen.
