Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 187 - 182: Just Bluffing Hard

With prejudice formed in his mind, Taibai Gold Star spoke with a certain tilt, "Please stop, everyone. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here."

Having said this, Taibai Gold Star turned his attention to the Seven Fairies, asking what exactly happened that made them want to fight the Demon Suppression Heavenly King at first sight.

Of course, the Seven Fairies wouldn’t reveal the real reason to Taibai Gold Star. After a moment of silence, they said, "Several days ago, while we were traveling in Xiniuhe Continent, we ran into a disrespectful thief whose likeness closely resembles that of the Demon Suppression Heavenly King."

"As a result, when we saw the Demon Suppression Heavenly King, we thought he was the thief, leading to the scene just now."

No sooner had the words of the Seven Fairies’ faded away than Jiang Chen made a face of sudden understanding, exclaiming as if he had understood something, "It turns out to be in Xiniuhe Continent, that explains it. There’s nothing strange about it."

Saying this, noticing the puzzled expression on the faces of the Seven Fairies, Jiang Chen bitterly explained, "To let several princesses know, due to some special reasons, I had almost been condemned by everyone in Xiniuhe Continent, let alone men. I’m riddled with enemies in every corner of the Xiniuhe Continent."

"The person whom several princesses met must have been someone who bears a grudge against me, pretending to be me with his divine ability."

"As for who that person is, that’s hard to find out. Perhaps a demon king of the demon clan, or a member of the Yacha and Asura clans. Of course, it could also be a disciple of the Buddhist door."

"In short, anyone from Xiniuhe Continent could be the one."

Upon hearing this, the Seven Fairies were all surprised with their mouths slightly agape, they looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief written all over their faces.

They were astounded by Jiang Chen’s words and could hardly believe that this man in front of them could offend everyone in the vast Xiniuhe Continent.

Was that possible?

Indeed, if he could do this, how did he survive? He did not look like a top power in the Three Realms.

Seeing that the Seven Fairies did not believe him, Jiang Chen did not explain further, only giving Taibai Gold Star a bitter smile.

As a confidant of the Jade Emperor and one of the top masters in Heaven Court, he must have known about Jiang Chen’s situation in Xiniuhe Continent. Hence, he could testify that Jiang Chen’s words were not nonsense.

Following Jiang Chen’s gaze, the Seven Fairies turned their attention to Taibai Gold Star and asked, "Gold Star, is everything the Demon Suppression Heavenly King said true? Does he really have enemies everywhere in Xiniuhe Continent?"

Taibai Gold Star gave Jiang Chen a peculiar look and said, "Yes, indeed, what the Demon Suppression Heavenly King said is true."

Not long ago, Jiang Chen transformed into the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon King and caused a huge panic in Xiniuhe Continent, with the Buddhist Holy Land dyed red with blood. He indeed offended every power here, whether good or bad.

"Ah?"

"It’s true!"

Upon receiving the affirmative answer from Taibai Gold Star, the Seven Fairies looked incredulously at Jiang Chen once again, inner doubts started to arise.

Could it be that they really mistook the wrong person?

But that shouldn’t be the case!

Caught in confusion, the Seven Fairies exchanged glances with one another, then hurriedly excused themselves and left. This did not mean that the matter ended here, but they planned to find someone else to verify Jiang Chen’s identity.

After the departure of the Seven Fairies, Taibai Gold Star expression of apology as he looked at Jiang Chen, saying, "I apologize for all the trouble caused. I apologize to King Demon Suppression on behalf of the Seven Princesses."

Not daring to accept Taibai Gold Star’s apologizing gesture, Jiang Chen waved his hand and quickly said, "Don’t say that, Gold Star. You’re being too polite. If anything, we should blame that shameless impersonator."

Knowing too well the wisdom of fewer words, Jiang Chen did not wish to elaborate on this matter with Taibai Gold Star. He redirected the topic, saying, "Thank you, Gold Star, for overseeing the building of my Divine Palace."

Truth be told, Taibai Gold Star was quite speechless. The Heavenly God Mansion was almost finished, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen got promoted, and the original mansion was rendered insufficient in standard.

Out of helplessness, Taibai Gold struck down the nearly completed mansion and started from scratch, which was indeed aggravating.

Taibai Gold Star chuckled, "No worries, it’s not a bother. It’s all for the sake of the Emperor."

Taking a look at this consciousness, he deserved to be the Jade Emperor’s confidant.

After transferring the matters of the Divine Palace to Jiang Chen, Taibai Gold Star excused himself and left, while Jiang Chen entered his Divine Palace to imprint his own mark into it.

The palaces of Heaven Court were, of course, not ordinary; they were either common postnatal magic treasures or postnatal spiritual treasures or postnatal ultimate treasures.

Of course, those big figures’ palaces, such as the Jade Emperor Queen Mother, Old Lord Four Emperors, and others, might not only be innate magic treasures but also possibly innate spiritual treasures.

Jiang Chen’s status was not very high, so his Divine Palace was just a postnatal spiritual treasure, which could be reluctantly described as not bad.

Well, it should be noted here that postnatal spiritual treasures differ from innate spiritual treasures; their power may not necessarily be affected by their level.

For example, postnatal spiritual treasures of the same level, the one with the better material will definitely win. And for those with the same material, the one with the larger body will certainly be superior.

A magic treasure made of a thousand pieces of Sun God Gold would definitely be much stronger than a magic treasure made of a single piece of Sun God Gold, even if they are of the same level.

Sizes and materials, not levels, determine the strength.

The size of the Demon Suppression Divine Palace was quite large, about a hundred feet. It was already equal to a postnatal ultimate treasure in terms of power. It was indeed very good.

Entering the main hall, Jiang Chen came to his position where a symbol was placed.

This was his official seal, a symbol of his authority as the Demon Suppression Heavenly King. At the same time, it was also the core of the Demon Suppression Divine Palace. Refining it meant gaining complete control over the palace.

With a thought, Jiang Chen extended his divine consciousness and left a mark on the seal, symbolizing the preliminary refining was completed.

Suddenly, an indescribable and inexplicable mysterious power descended from the unknowns and blessed Jiang Chen, making his mind even clearer and deepening his understanding of heaven and earth.

This was the Fate bestowed by Heaven Court!

Fate could enhance a cultivator’s cultivation speed. This was why numerous Immortal People were fighting to join the Heaven Court. All for this bit of Fate, right?

For a moment, Jiang Chen’s cultivation method operated at a speed three times faster than before.

Just then, the rewards given by the Jade Emperor to Jiang Chen were gradually brought in. When Jiang Chen went out to look, he saw strongmen carrying a long spear and fairy maidens holding a gourd of Golden Pills, walking towards him.

After thanking them, he rewarded those who brought the gifts with a few top-grade Fairy Stones. Then, Jiang Chen took the items back into the Demon Suppression Palace amidst the thankfulness of the crowd.

Although the Demon Suppression Spear was also a treasured artifact, it paled in comparison to the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword.

After weighing the Demon Suppression Spear in his hands for a while, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think of the Jade Emperor as being stingy.

He hesitated to invest in gaining people’s loyalty. If he had given Jiang Chen an Innate Spiritual Treasure, perhaps Jiang Chen would have...

Well, he wouldn’t risk his life for him, at most, he would just praise the Jade Emperor’s generosity.

Putting away the Demon Suppression Spear, Jiang Chen looked at the gourd full of Body-protecting Golden Pills. These were Golden Pills refined by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, albeit not the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, but the Six Revolutions ones.

Golden Pills come in nine revolutions, with each revolution having its own transformation.

The legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could enable one to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal just by consuming one. Even the Jade Emperor doesn’t have many of them, of course he wouldn’t give it to Jiang Chen.

The Six Revolutions Golden Pill was a treasure that could assist the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortals. It was quite suitable for the Jade Emperor to give them to Jiang Chen.

Opening the gourd to take a look, there were a total of twelve Golden Pills. This would save Jiang Chen from thousands of years of painstaking cultivation, and it wasn’t bad.

In essence, these gourd Golden Pills were much more useful to him than the Demon Suppression Spear.

It’s a bit of a pity that these Golden Pills were refined by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, not the Saint of Taiqing; otherwise, the value of these Golden Pills would be much higher.

Jiang Chen was just overthinking things. At this time and age, regardless if the Saint of Taiqing was refining pills or not, not just anyone could get them if he did.

However, if Jiang Chen could not get the Saint of Taiqing’s elixirs, he could try to get some from his ancestor, the Flame Emperor, Shennong.

Based solely on the art of pill refining, the Saint of Taiqing was undeniably the number one in the prehistoric world, and the second was the Earth Emperor of the Human Race, the Sun God Flame Emperor Shennong.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord would have to rank further back.

Let’s work hard and continue to perform brilliantly. Maybe one day, if the Flame Emperor is pleased, he will give Jiang Chen some elixirs.

With a casual swallow of a Golden Pill, letting the medicinal power spread within his body, Jiang Chen glanced around and did not see any trace of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Brew.

Instantly, his heart skipped a beat.

Good heavens, trouble was coming!

Jiang Chen did not know what the Hundred Flowers Fairy Brew was, but given that it was listed alongside the sixth-grade Golden Pill and bestowed upon him by the Jade Emperor, it was obviously a valuable item.

However, this was not what Jiang Chen was concerned about. The key point was its name, Hundred Flowers Fairy Brew, which was clearly related to the Hundred Flowers Fairy.

Of the four treasures given to Jiang Chen by the Jade Emperor, only the Hundred Flowers Fairy Brew had not arrived yet. Chances were it had been detained by the Hundred Flowers Fairy. Otherwise, it would have arrived by now.

The reward from the Jade Emperor, even if the Hundred Flowers Fairy was the Queen Mother’s disciple, she would not dare to embezzle.

If she had detained it, based on Jiang Chen’s guess, she was probably planning to personally deliver it to verify his identity.

This was troublesome indeed. He had just managed to fool the Seven Fairy Maidens away, and now the Hundred Flowers Fairy was coming. He wondered if Yang Chan and Chang’e would come next.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy, the mistress of all flowers in the Three Realms, managed a large group of women under her. This was a clear indication that she was a very astute person.

To fool her would be much more difficult than to fool the Seven Fairy Maidens.

Moreover, even after fooling the Hundred Flowers Fairy, he would still have to face Chang’e and the Third Fairy Mother Yang Chan, who were also troublesome. Jiang Chen did not have that much energy to fool them.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen abruptly stood up and left the Demon Suppression Divine Palace.

He could no longer stay in this heavenly realm.

He had to leave, he had to get out of Heaven Court.

As long as he didn’t meet the Ten Fairies, he wouldn’t have any trouble.

However, he couldn’t just leave without a proper reason; otherwise, the Ten Fairies might misunderstand that Jiang Chen was avoiding them, which would not be good.
