Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 188 - 183: Transforming Heavenly Soldiers, and the Urgent Fertility Issues of the Jiang Family
Chapter 188: Chapter 183: Transforming Heavenly Soldiers, and the Urgent Fertility Issues of the Jiang Family
Isn’t this the same as admitting their own status?
If not so, why hide?
It’s nothing more than a guilty conscience.
Therefore, one can leave, but must have a good reason.
As for a good reason, it’s simple. Jiang Chen is a Demon Suppression Deity with the duty to eradicate demons. The mortal world is full of mountain-dwelling demons.
Take, for example, Sun Wukong, a wanted criminal in Heaven court. Since he’s idle in the heavenly realm, why not report him to the Jade Emperor and lead the troops to the mortal world to capture him.
Firstly, they could gain merit and secondly avoid the Ten Fairy Maidens.
Thirdly,
Jiang Chen is now in trouble in the heavenly court, so it’s only right that he doesn’t allow Sun Wukong to leisurely enjoy himself on Mount Huaguo. As the saying goes, brothers share the joy and the suffering together.
Now that Jiang Chen is in trouble, it’s only natural to share some with him.
Thinking up to this point, Jiang Chen quickened his pace by three points.
As for the Fairy Brew, Jiang Chen is not worried about it being taken away by the Fairy Maiden. If he isn’t seen for a long time, he will naturally send it to the Palace of Demon Suppression.
Alas,
There are too many Demon Kings in the Three Realms. Besides the wanted Sun Wukong of Heaven Court, there are also his six sworn brothers like the Bull Demon King.
Furthermore, there are countless big and small Demon Kings in the Three Realms, enough for Jiang Chen to capture.
Even if all the demon kings are killed, it doesn’t matter. The evil ones are not only from the Demon Clan. Among the three realms, there are many cultivators who commit crimes. They are also within Jiang Chen’s scope of attack.
Therefore, as long as Jiang Chen wishes, he has plenty of excuses to not return to the Heavenly Court.
Busy slashing demons in the Mortal World, there’s simply no time to return to Heaven Court. Finding such a dedicated person in the current Heavenly Court is quite rare.
At this moment, to avoid the Ten Fairy Maidens, Jiang Chen is truly planning to fulfill his responsibility of maintaining the order of the Three Realms to the end. He regards it as his lifelong career.
For this purpose, he doesn’t even go to Gouchen Palace.
Normally, as the Demon Suppression God King, after paying homage to the Jade Emperor upon arrival to the Heavenly Court, he should go to Gouchen Palace to visit the Emperor. Then, he should patrol near Gouchen Palace and assume the responsibility of alerting.
But with the Emperor not in Gouchen Palace, Jiang Chen doesn’t bother to visit. Why go there to be bullied by a group of demons from Ancient and Primordial times?
That’s too dull, it’s better to eradicate demons in the Mortal World.
They can get promoted, earn merits, and enhance their power, which has many benefits. Once Jiang Chen’s cultivation reaches that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it’s not too late to go to Gouchen Palace.
While thinking this, Jiang Chen had already left the Palace of Demon Suppression and headed to the Heavenly Court’s muster station.
To catch the demons in the mortal world, how can they not have manpower? The eight thousand battle souls that Jiang Chen found in the North haven’t yet been transformed into celestial soldiers.
In the muster station, there is a celestial soldier pool specifically for this purpose. Jiang Chen plans to go there and transform all his eight thousand battle souls into celestial soldiers.
If they have soldiers, they can get things done!
...
.........
The Heavenly Court is vast, and it took Jiang Chen a long time to reach the muster station.
Here we should note that the phrase "one day in heaven, one year on earth" does not mean that time in heaven is 365 times slower than on earth.
It means that one day in heaven is equivalent to the sum of one year’s time on earth.
When the stars and constellations complete a cycle, what appears as one year to humans, is seen as one day in the heavenly realm. Furthermore, there is no night in the heavenly realm, which is always in daylight.
The Heavenly Court, and even the entire heavenly realm, is always bathed in the brilliance of the stars, there will never be a lack of light.
And indeed, due to the irradiation of the boundless starry sky, the spiritual energy content in the heavenly realm far exceeds the Four Continents, almost on par with the Prehistoric World of the Great Ancients.
Yes, that’s right. The energy flowing in the heavenly realm is not post-heavenly energy, but pre-heavenly energy, which has long been lost on earth.
Otherwise, how could the heavenly realm become the central location of the three realms, the highest place ruling everything!
Regarding the difference in time between heaven and earth, Jiang Chen had heard a legend.
It is said, just said, that before the Investiture of the Gods war, when the Five Saints had not yet shattered the Prehistoric World into the Four Continents, which is the Ancient Times, the time in heaven and earth was the same.
The one day of that era is equivalent to a year now, making the time extremely long.
Unfortunately, near the end of the Investiture of the Gods war, the Leader Tongtian saw the Jiejiao Sect’s destruction. He was so angry that he wanted to destroy the Prehistoric World and establish earth, fire, water, and wind once more.
With the Saint of Taiqing leading the Four Saints, a world-ending battle erupted, and the vast Prehistoric World was shattered into the current Four Continents.
Oh, how I miss the Ancient Times, when one day was worth a year today. The human race at that time must have been exceptionally strong, especially in the ancient martial arts, which would have been even stronger.
The greater the vitality, the more benefits it brings to the ancient martial arts.
However, Jiang Chen is an innate being, with a vigorous life force, not necessarily inferior to the human race of Ancient Times or the Prehistoric World. Comparatively to the humans from the Great Ancient times, there might still be some differences.
But it doesn’t matter. Once Jiang Chen swallows a few corpses of the Golden Crow, it wouldn’t just be people from the Great Ancient times he’d rival, he could even stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the initial Human Race, or even the rumored Innate Divine Demon.
...
As Jiang Chen pondered, he had already reached the muster platform. Having explained his identity and purpose to the guard on duty, he was led to the Celestial Troops Pool.
Celestial Troops Pool, also called Troop Transformation Pool, much like the Fly (Transfiguration) Immortal Pool, both were treasured assets of the Heavenly Court, belonging to innates, both high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
These were treasures bestowed by Honjan Daizu to Haotian and the Jade Lake couple to better manage the Heavenly Court.
Where the Celestial Troops pool was located, there was a vast expanse of the starry sky above, filled with twinkling stars, which sprayed endless starlight that dropped into the Celestial Troops pool below.
Within the pool, clear water teemed with immortal radiance, inundated with an innate aura, further embellished with twinkling starlight, shining brilliantly like a cluster of stars, evidently extraordinary at first glance.
Although it’s called a ’pool,’ the Celestial Troops Pool was not much different in size from a lake.
Innate Spiritual Treasures are the weapons used by the Innate Divine Demon. Considering the sight that Jiang Chen saw inside Zixiao Palace, each Innate Divine Demon is billions of feet in size, with bodies incredibly bulky.
Taking the Wolf Fang Dagger and the Grey Eagle Feather in Jiang Chen’s hand as examples, they seem incredibly delicate, only palm-sized, but they have been shrunk by countless folds. If they were to show their true forms, each of them would be millions of feet in size, up to even a hundred thousand feet.
This is still for Innate Magic Treasures; if replaced with stronger Innate Spiritual Treasures, their size would certainly be even more massive.
Everything born as an Innate is large, mostly because the Chaos World in those times was vast, many times wider than the present.
Smaller things wouldn’t have been able to adapt to the Chaos World in those times!
Walking forward, Jiang Chen felt the power contained within the Celestial Troops Pool was boundless and of high quality. If he could refine all the energy here, he reckoned that he could reach the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal instantly.
Of course, if he really dared to do this, the Jade Emperor would slap him to death before his breakthrough.
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen took out the eight thousand war souls and threw them into the Celestial Troops Pool.
Interestingly, he was initially contemplating how to accommodate these extra war souls, but unexpectedly, he got promoted from a makeshift general to a makeshift marshal. The number of heavenly soldiers under him has instantly increased from three thousand to ten thousand.
Now, his eight thousand war souls are not extra, instead, he’s short of two thousand. When he has time in the future, Jiang Chen will need to find two thousand more war souls.
Boom!
As soon as the eight thousand war souls entered the Celestial Troops Pool, the surrounding water began to stir, then crazily surged into their bodies, reshaping their physique.
Bodies reshaped by the Celestial Troops Pool are all Innate, can be referred to as good seedlings for cultivation, all possess the qualification to become immortals. As for what happens next, it depends on one’s destiny.
Moreover, every being that comes out of the Celestial Troops Pool has at least the realm of Earth Immortal, and possibly even higher.
Anyway, it offers the guarantee of Earth Immortal; after that, it depends on the individual’s talent. The more energy one absorbs from the Celestial Troops Pool, the stronger one would be after coming out.
Even Heaven Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, or perhaps Golden Immortal are achievable. Throughout the long history of Heavenly Court, the Celestial Troops Pool has produced several Golden Immortals.
Thus, the Celestial Troops Pool is one of Heavenly Court’s foundations, because of its existence, Heavenly Court has a continuous supply of celestial troops.
As the ruler of the Three Realms, Heavenly Court is far from as simple as imagined.
...
...
Leaving the issue of Jiang Chen in the Celestial Troops Pool aside, just after he left the Demon Suppression Palace, Fairy Baihua, Chang’e, and the mother of the three saints, Yang Chan, along with the Seven Fairies, hurried here.
All of them were present. Sure enough, after the Seven Fairies left, they went to call for others.
However, it doesn’t matter now, because Jiang Chen isn’t around!
Now the Demon Suppression Palace is completely empty.
There are no guards, nor any servants.
Jiang Chen came to the Heavenly Court alone, and his war souls have not yet been transformed into celestial soldiers; there was no one to take care of the palace.
However, once Jiang Chen truly settles in the Heavenly Court, an associated department of the Heavenly Court will be dispatched to take care of his daily life.
For every tier of Heavenly Court Officials, the Heavenly Court provides corresponding benefits, certainly ensuring that the immortals enjoy a comfortable life quality.
However, for someone like Jiang Chen, there’s no need for the Heavenly Court to send someone. It is estimated that soon, someone would be sent from the Sun Palace to take care of his daily life.
After all, he was the legitimate member of the Jiang Family; he should not be treated unfairly.
Please do not assume that the legitimate descendants of the Jiang Family must be numerous after inheriting for endless eras. This is a big mistake.
Not only are there few legitimate descendants of the Jiang family, but as time passes, there are fewer and fewer. Simply put, unlike the descendants of the Emperor Huang who aimed to dominate the world, the descendants of the Flame Emperor pursued the path of cultivation.
If one seeks to dominate the world, of course, descendants grow in number.
However, for cultivators, many are pure-minded and have few desires. Even if a few get married, it is also difficult for them to conceive progeny because of their overwhelming strength.
