Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 204 - 194: Heavenly and Earthly God, Sun Star_2

With the power of authority in hand, everything becomes different. For instance, in a duel between two practitioners of the same realm and with the same fire attribute, one is armed with the power of authority, while the other is not.

The one who holds the power of authority can use it to significantly weaken the opponent’s strength, and may even forbid their use of fire attribute power.

The difference between having and not having the power of authority is as vast as heaven and earth.

The authority that Jiang Chen gains control over is a part of Yin and Yang. Consequently, any practitioner who cultivates these two kinds of attribute power will face considerable suppression in front of him.

This is just a part of the benefits of the power of authority. There are many more subtle aspects waiting for Jiang Chen to discover.

Also, there is a distinction within the power of authority itself. For those who possess the innate divine human status, like Jiang Chen, the power of authority is an ingrained ability, unshakeable.

Comparatively, gods enfeoffed by the Heaven Court may also have the power of authority, but it is only a superficial possession, unsteady, and can be stripped away at any time. These gods cannot be compared with innate divine humans like Jiang Chen.

...

Boom!

Slowly standing up, Jiang Chen’s momentum took another leap, breaking from the seventh level of Heavenly Human to the eighth level, that is, the middle stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Chen has become stronger.

Feeling the powerful force inside his body, Jiang Chen remarked with some emotion, "If a divine human is already this powerful, how powerful should an innate divine demon, who is stronger than him, be?"

According to the records of the Xihuang lineage, the Innate Divine Demon was born adhering to the Innate Path, naturally mastered the power of the Tao, which is a force of a higher level than the power of rules, the foundation of the Chaos World, and the root of everything.

Above the Innate Divine Demon, it is said that there exist Innate Divine Saints, such as the Tao Ancestor, and the Sanqing, all of whom are Innate Divine Saints, born from the Heavenly Earthly Origin, mastering even more mysterious Original Source powers.

The Three Realms are vast, mighty, and extremely mysterious. Jiang Chen is still very weak.

Reining in the power within him, Jiang Chen stepped out of the Immortal Transformation Pool and walked out. The benefits had been obtained, and staying here further made no sense.

Upon leaving the Immortal Transformation Pool, Jiang Chen didn’t immediately return to the Demon Suppression Temple. Instead, he identified the direction and headed towards the Sun Star.

He had been in the Heavenly Realm for so long, and had not yet visited the Sun Temple to pay respect to his own ancestor. This was truly a neglect on his part.

Now that he had the time, it was natural for him to head to the Sun Temple on the Sun Star as soon as possible to pay his respects to his ancestor, Sun Star Lord Jiang Hao.

With every step he took, a six-colored auspicious cloud formed under Jiang Chen’s feet, carrying him in the direction of the Sun Star.

Riding clouds and fog is an innate ability of immortals and a mark of their identity. Although every immortal practices various Divine Abilities to move at incredibly fast speeds, they mostly choose to ride clouds if there is no urgency.

Because it appears more leisurely and looks exceedingly unhurried and free, fully exhibiting the demeanor of a superior person.

Depending on the frequency of cloud-riding, the clouds on which they ride can be of various ranks. Such as the low-tier White Clouds, mid-tier Spirit Clouds, high-tier Immortal Clouds, and top-tier Innate Clouds, etc.

The six-colored auspicious cloud that Jiang Chen rides on is the top-tier cloud. It was not formed by heaven and earth, nor does it distinguish between before and after, but was condensed by the spontaneous gathering of Merit.

The auspicious cloud can only be driven by a man of great virtue, regardless of his strength. It is the affirmation of heaven and earth to the man of great virtue.

As the six-colored auspicious cloud passes, the path forward is smooth, without any obstructions. Nobody dares to intercept and question Jiang Chen. Even the immortals who come face to face with him sidestep early to avoid conflict.

The passage of the auspicious cloud truly makes everything permissible.

If it was someone else, they probably would have been stopped and questioned after traveling just a few hundred miles.

The order in Heaven Court is strict, with Star Lords, celestial officials and divine generals patrolling everywhere. How could they possibly allow a person to act wantonly in Heaven Court? They definitely stop any stranger to question them, letting them pass only after their origin and purpose have been clarified.

The presence of Merit truly brings Jiang Chen great convenience, allowing him to enjoy the treatment of high-ranking officials in advance.

...

Turning round and round, Jiang Chen climbed higher and higher, eventually leaving the range of the Heaven Court and arriving at the highest point of the Prehistoric World, in the midst of the Boundless Starry Sky.

Compared to the heavenly realm, the Boundless Starry Sky was even more vast. Besides the 365 Cycle Stars, there were countless small stars, as well as innumerable meteors and fragments of stars.

Throughout the starry sky was filled with innate starlight of high quality, no different from innate essence qi. It was unfortunately that these innate starlights could not be absorbed and refined by humans.

The properties were too varied, different colors of starlight were tightly tangled together, conflicting violently, rendering these starlights incredibly volatile. Forget about absorbing them, a slight approach would likely cause them to explode, posing extreme danger.

Cautiously avoiding these star rivers, Jiang Chen headed towards the Sun Star while carefully comparing the Boundless Starry Sky before his eyes with the one in the inheritance of Emperor Xu.

Soon, Jiang Chen discovered that the current Boundless Starry Sky was much smaller than the Boundless Starry Sky of the Ancient Era. Especially those Cycle Stars, they seemed to have shrunk significantly.

Additionally, the star power pervading the Boundless Starry Sky in the Ancient Era was tens of thousands of times denser than now. It had condensed into water and formed the Star River flowing in the starry sky.

Beyond that, there were many Star Beasts in the starry sky of the Ancient Era, galloping through the Star River. However, Star Beasts had long since extinct in today’s starry sky. Vitality was extinct, and an unshakable sense of desolation pervaded.

That was the aura exuded after the death of the stars, stemming from the moaning of the starry sky.

The cause of all this was the ancient war between witches and demons.

The war was truly brutal, turning the magnificent Boundless Starry Sky into fragments. Countless stars shattered, becoming meteors drifting in the starry sky, with many stars falling directly onto the Prehistoric Earth.

Even the formidable 360 Cycle Stars were shattered and significantly reduced in size.

The entire starry sky was moaning, severely wounded, emanating long-lasting grief. The trauma inflicted on the Boundless Starry Sky by the ancient war had yet to heal even to this day.

Why hasn’t the name of the Star Array been heard after the Ancient Era?

One reason is that the Cycle Stars have been severely damaged, and the second is that the path of the stars has been thrown into chaos by the ancient war. Unless they are guided back to their proper paths, the Star Array cannot be formed.

As he sighed, Jiang Chen had already reached the vicinity of the Sun Star. Looking up, he saw a brilliant light sphere, peacefully situated in the starry sky, unmoving.

Its surrounding was filled with radiant light, emitting endless brightness and heat, as well as unimaginable energy fluctuations, spreading to the Boundless Starry Sky, the heavenly realm, human world, Netherworld, and countless unknown voids.

This was the Sun Star, the main star of the Primordial Era and one of the foundations of the Prehistoric World.

Its power reached every corner of the world; its blessings benefited every living creature in the world.

Therefore, the merits on it were increasing every moment, in other words, the Sun Star has been growing since its birth.

The war between witches and demons shattered the Boundless Starry Sky and the Heaven Court, but it did not affect three places, namely the Sun Star, Taiyin Star, and Purple Mist Star.

The so-called "three treasures of the heaven" referred to these three stars, which are the supreme stars of the Prehistoric World, with a status higher than even sanctified individuals, they are supreme.

The Sun Star did not appear huge, merely tens of thousands of miles in size, but Jiang Chen, who possessed the Emperor Xu’s inheritance, knew that the true Sun Star was vast, unimaginably huge, endlessly boundless.

The reason it appeared small now was only a visual illusion and did not reflect its true size.

The closer one got to the Sun Star, the hotter the surrounding temperature would be. Even an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal would probably be burnt to ashes before approaching the Sun Star.

Only beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage could freely move about the Sun Star, but they only dared to linger on the edge, not daring to go deeper.

PS: I wrote a thousand more words today than yesterday, gradually increasing the amount, I am the strongest.

Alas, I could have written even more, but Xiao Ming is returning to the army tomorrow, and I’m throwing him a farewell party. I’ll strive on tomorrow.
