Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 199 - 190 The Group of Earth Immortals_2

"Indeed, although that monkey is quite extraordinary, he is still a bit behind the Taiyi Golden Immortal in terms of power."

The East Sea Dragon King had to agree: the monkey probably didn’t have that much strength. A decade ago he had but the cultivation of a Golden Immortal; even if he consumed a magical elixir now, he couldn’t have transformed into the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

With these thoughts, the East Sea Dragon King faced the crowd and suggested, "Fellow Taoists, we can’t guess what’s going on by standing here, why don’t we go up together and see what’s actually happening?"

In the midst of speaking, the sea outside grew even more tumultuous, with immense waves surging more and more rapidly. A muffled sound came from above the sea surface, like a dull thunder, extremely deafening. Even the Dragon Palace, safeguarded by a prohibition spell, was shaking non-stop.

Fearful that the Dragon Palace might suffer any damage, the East Sea Dragon King did not wait for the approval of others. He lifted the prohibition, parted the seawater, and was the first to approach the sea surface.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed him.

Arriving at the surface of the sea, they looked up to see six figures enveloped in demonic aura, assailing a figure surrounded by divine light.

Every movement made by the seven people emitted a vast amount of magic power, causing the Eastern Sea to roll incessantly. The shaking of the Dragon Palace was caused by this.

Some people recognized the origins of the six demons, and couldn’t help but exclaim:

"My God, that is the Peng Demon King of the North Sea. I know him, it is said this demon is a disciple from the North Sea Demon Master Palace, possessing noble lineage and extremely powerful, a top-ranked demon king in the Three Realms."

"That’s the Rock Monkey King from the God-Banishing Mountain. I’ve heard of him. He’s a disciple of an ancient figure and has the power to banish spirits."

"Also present are the Bull Demon King, Lion Camel King, Macaque King, and the Flood Dragon Demon King; all amongst the top-ranked demon kings in the Three Realms, with considerable skills beyond those of the Taiyi Golden Immortals."

"Who is that divine figure being besieged by the seven demons? How is it possible that he single-handedly fights against them and appears not at all disadvantaged?"

"Who is he? Why have I never seen him before, and why have I never heard of such a formidable figure in Heaven Court before? There are no portraits of this person in circulation in the Three Realms."

After recognizing the origins of the six demons, they became even more curious about the identity of the besieged Jiang Chen. Given the six demons couldn’t prevail against him even while working together, this person’s strength must be top-tier within the Three Realms.

Such a figure would be famed throughout the Three Realms, like the War God Yang Jian and Nezha who were revered by all. However, this Jiang Chen seemed to have emerged from nowhere, without any prior warning.

They couldn’t help but be curious: when did such an untamed figure emerge from the Three Realms?

While others didn’t recognize Jiang Chen, the East Sea Dragon King did. He inwardly marveled at how fast Jiang Chen was progressing, then hastened to introduce Jiang Chen to everyone:

"He is an expert of the human race, noble by birth, a descendant of the Earth Emperor Flame Emperor. He is known for defeating demons and has been honored by the Jade Emperor as the Demon Suppression Heavenly King. He is likely battling the six demons, presumably to slash troubles and exterminate demons."

After learning of Jiang Chen’s identity, the expressions of understanding dawned on everyone’s faces: there wasn’t a sudden appearance of a trump card; it was, in fact, a person from the Jiang family.

The Jiang family’s lineage dates back to ancient times and they have the bloodline of the Earth Emperor Flame Emperor running in their veins--they were born extraordinary. They are one of the major forces in the cultivation world, not much weaker than the lineage of the Sage. Thus, it was normal for them to have a few formidable members.

Generally, they showed slight contempt for the human race, but deep within they were all wary of it. The reason being, this clan was very mysterious. They always kept things to themselves and never revealed much. They aren’t as high-profile as the witch and demon clans. freeweɓnøvel.com

The low-profile human race, even if they have peerless experts appearing, would not publicize it but would behave as if nothing happened. Therefore, to this day, no one has been able to figure out the true strength of the human race.

However, every time when there’s a need, the human race always manages to produce some formidable fighters at just the right moment.

This has made the human race appear even more mysterious in the eyes of the world. Fear often comes from the unknown. The less people understand the human race, the more they fear it.

In the midst of their contemplation, the East Sea Dragon King had already summoned his young son to gather a troop of 200,000 water soldiers in preparation to lend a hand to Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, everyone laughed, "The Dragon King seems a bit overly concerned. Even if the young man from the Jiang family is in danger, it isn’t our place to intervene!"

"Thinking about it, the descendants of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan live in the Eastern Sea. If that young man from the Jiang family was truly in danger, they would have intervened right away. They wouldn’t have waited until now without showing up."

During the era of Human Emperor Xuanyuan’s rule over the Prehistoric World, he schemed in every possible way to keep domain over his kingdom, distributing the human clan throughout the Prehistoric World to maintain dominance over the human race.

With time, backed by the support of the human race, these factions became powerful and eventually became rulers in their own rights.

In other words, although the Three Realms is vast, traces of the Human race’s influence can be found in nearly every renowned place.

The clan from Xuanyuan’s lineage, the dragon clan, resided in seclusion in the Eastern Sea.

So, whether it was the heavenly gods in the sky or the immortals in the sea, none of them looked worried upon seeing the six demons besieging Jiang Chen.

Because they all know, the great battle reached this point, the powerful members of the dragon clan were sure to come and watch. If Jiang Chen was truly in danger, they would certainly intervene and rescue him; there was no need for outsiders to meddle.

After being dissuaded by the crowd, the East Sea Dragon King shook his head, ordering his water soldiers not to advance, and instead deployed the water race’s grand formation to protect the Eastern Sea.

Even though she was at odds with Jiang Chen, seeing him surrounded and attacked by the six demons, the Seven Fairies couldn’t bear it and said to Li Jing, "Heavenly King, why won’t you deploy your troops to aid the Demon Suppression?"

Shaking his head, Li Jing said, "Princess, you may not be aware that the Demon Suppression Heavenly King seems in danger, but in actuality he is using the power of the six demons to refine and hone his divine ability. If I dispatched my soldiers to help him now, it would ruin his chance for growth."

"That’s why I haven’t made any move yet," said Li Jing.

Li Jing’s words were cloaked in righteousness. It was fortunate that Jiang Chen was not there, or otherwise he would have spat angrily at the Heavenly King’s face.

Hone his divine ability, huh? Is this how one hones it?

Previously, one could indeed argue three people were honing their divine abilities. But now, with six demons attacking and Jiang Chen even resorting to using his magic treasures, how could this be considered honing anymore?

Lying blatantly.

Upon hearing his words, the Seven Fairies’ worried expression vanished. An idea flashed across her mind, replacing her worry with a malicious thought, excited at the thought of Jiang Chen throwing a fit if this opportunity of his was ruined. Thinking of this, she was about to persuade Heavenly King Li to send out his troops.

But at this moment, the battle below took a turn for the worse.

Taking on six opponents was too much. Before long, Jiang Chen was hit by the enemies’ continuous attacks and was sent flying backward, spewing out blood.

Slowly standing up, Jiang Chen spat out blood and then broke into a big laugh, "Ha ha, well done Bull Demon King, depending on a wife at home, on friends outside, you have helpers everywhere. No wonder you could become one of the top demon kings in the Three Realms."

He was mocking the Bull Demon King for having no real abilities. His fame, he suggested, relied only on his networking skills and the support of his wife and friends.

The Bull Demon King, a being who took great pride in himself, could not withstand such humiliation. Instantly, his bull face turned red with anger, looking akin to a monkey’s butt.

But he didn’t lose his senses due to anger. Instead, he pointed at Jiang Chen and shouted, "You’ve got a stiff upper lip even when death is imminent."

Saying that, he joined forces with the other five demons and launched an assault on Jiang Chen again.

"Wish to die, I will oblige!"

Seeing the six demons attacking again, Jiang Chen could hardly suppress his murderous intent. He soared into the sky, took out the Sun God Staff, raised it above his head and shouted:

"Power of the sun, bestow upon me!"

In an instant, the Sun God Staff released a bright light. It resonated with the Sun Star, the highest point in the boundless starry sky.

Boom!

However, a streak of light flashed and a dominant powerful force fell from the Sun Star, granting its strength to Jiang Chen.

His body imbued with the power of the sun, Jiang Chen seemed to be coated in a layer of gold. His body radiated a brilliant divine radiance and his grandeur was beyond comparison.

In the blink of an eye, his injury was healed, restoring him to his prime state. His strength was also surging visibly, increasing multiple folds.

Summoning the power of the sun was an ability bestowed by his Flame Emperor bloodline-- an innate ability owned by every direct descendant of the Jiang Family.

ps: As usual, 8000 words for today.

Subscriptions are dropping daily, so there’s little motivation to meet the 10,000-word target. 8000 words are already my limit.

If the novel makes it to the premium category by the end of this month, I pledge to extend the daily output of at least 10,000 words for the next month from the day it reaches premium status.

Currently, this novel stands at 2400 subscriptions on average with the aim to reach 3000 for premium status. Although the gap seems to be only 600, it’s challenging to bridge, given the lesser word count.

If this target cannot be met, I will stick to producing 7-8 thousand words a day.

Actually, 7-8 thousand words is quite sufficient too.
