Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 206 - 196: Encounter with an Acquaintance

That golden light must have been incredibly precious to the Innate Fusang Tree, otherwise it wouldn’t have caused it so much discomfort.

However, at this moment, it was not a time for Jiang Chen to focus on these matters. He saw that after the Sun God Staff absorbed the golden light, it suddenly underwent a drastic change, generating a vast array of symbols, filled with powerful energy.

The energy was so powerful that for a moment, Jiang Chen could hardly hold the Sun God Staff steadily.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hao extended a finger, drawing in the air a mysterious Taoist pattern that pressed down on the Sun God Staff, suppressing its sudden burst of energy.

"Thank you, elder."

Without explaining to Jiang Chen, Jiang Hao led him to bow down to the Innate Fusang Tree before they promptly returned to the Sun Temple.

Then, Jiang Hao explained, "That golden light is the Innate Source of the Sun. Even the slightest piece must have taken the Innate Fusang Tree millions of years to condense."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen finally understood the preciousness of the golden light, and why the Innate Fusang Tree would feel such discomfort.

However, just as Jiang Chen was pondering this, he heard Jiang Hao complaining, "That old guy is becoming stingier. Even though I personally pleaded with him, he only gave you a little bit of Innate Sun Source and got rid of you. He really is too penny-pinching."

"I will surely extort him thoroughly when I get the chance."

Indeed, people are different.

In Jiang Chen’s view, the Innate Sun Source was already very precious. However, in Jiang Hao’s eyes, giving only a small piece of Innate Sun Source was the Fusang Tree being stingy.

After murmuring a complaint, Jiang Hao said to Jiang Chen: "Although there isn’t much of the Innate Sun Source, it’s not bad either. After the Sun God Staff absorbs it, it should undergo a significant change. However, it’s still far from reaching its limit."

"Here’s what you do: later, use my sister’s seal to go to the Taiyin Star and ask the Innate Moon Laurel Tree for a bit of the Innate Taiyi Source. The combination of both should save you a lot of time."

Having said that, Jiang Hao imprinted a seal within Jiang Chen, this is the Jingwei Mark which was also referred to as the Nuwa Seal.

In his early years, the Flame Emperor had fallen in love with Five Virtues Phoenix, Empress Nuwa’s named disciple, during his cultivation in Emperor Wa’s Palace. They got married and had a son and a daughter.

Their daughter is Nuwa, also called Jingwei, the eldest daughter. Their son, the second child, is Jiang Hao.

After the Flame Emperor attained Tao, he reigned as the Tiandi for a while and was known as the Southern Flame Emperor.

His title, Flame Emperor, derives from this.

After becoming Tiandi, he successively made his son the Ruler of Sun Star and his daughter the Ruler of Taiyin Star. One son and one daughter, each in control of the Sun and Moon respectively, Flame Emperor’s arrangements were indeed proper.

After receiving Jingwei’s Seal, Jiang Chen thanked, "Thank you ancestor!"

Jiang Hao dismissed it, "Stop babbling, and go about your business."

As soon as he finished speaking, the environment spun around Jiang Chen. When he recovered, he realized he had already left the Sun Star.

This capability, was truly amazing.

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen turned to leave. Instead of hurriedly heading towards the Taiyin Star, he walked towards a cluster of palaces floating amidst the stars near the Sun Star.

This place was known as the headquarters of the Jiang Family in Heaven Court, also where the Jiang Family’s immortals lived. Powerful practitioners could freely travel to the Sun Star, but those with weaker cultivation levels couldn’t.

Therefore, the senior members of the Jiang Family built numerous palaces amidst the Star River near the Sun Star where the immortal members of the Jiang Family could reside.

Upon reaching the palace, Jiang Chen quickly found the place where weapons were forged. Without wasting any time, he simply produced Jiang Xuan’s token and sought help to forge weapons.

The craftsmen here were mostly not from the Jiang Family, they were heavenly craftsmen. Ordinary top-tier forging masters from the mortal realm who ascended after death. They might not have any remarkable abilities, but they certainly had extraordinary skills when it came to crafting weapons.

The celestial troops and warriors under the Sun Temple also had their weapons forged by these craftsmen. They were very experienced.

Jiang Chen first brought out the Dragon Scales, followed by a large amount of Supreme Yang God Gold, some Sun God Gold, and finally, he took out some Star River God Gold, along with various precious Innate God Gold.

After silently calculating, he figured these materials were enough to forge ten thousand suits of armor and ten thousand spears. He then explained what he needed and left.

He wasn’t worried about anyone trying to embezzle his treasures, as he was here in the name of Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was an unparalleled among the Jiang Family, even the audacious wouldn’t dare to embezzle his treasures.

After completing all of this, Jiang Chen then flew towards Heaven Court on a cloud.

Truthfully, the distance between Sun Star and Taiyin Star was really enormous. One was located on the utmost left of the Boundless Starry Sky, and the other on the farthest right.

The distance between them was immeasurable. If Jiang Chen were to fly there, who knows how long it would take him to reach the Taiyin Star.

Therefore, Jiang Chen planned on taking a shortcut.

In Heaven Court, there’s a shortcut to the Cycle of Stars, just like how Jiang Chen rushed to the Sun Star. It was precisely by taking this unique passage of Heaven Court that he could arrive so quickly at the Sun Star.

After a while, Jiang Chen returned to Heaven Court, preparing to detour to the Taiyin Star, but unexpectedly, he had only taken a few steps when he ran into a familiar face.

"Hey, Jiang bro, wait up, yours truly has returned to Heaven Court," from a distance, Jiang Chen heard the sound of Sun Wukong calling him.

Turning around, he saw Sun Wukong wearing a vermilion and purple robe, trying to put on a dignified look as he walked over.

Things were different now.

Sun Wukong’s status had soared, holding the title of Equal to Heaven Great Sage, although it came without a stipend, the title itself was prestigious. ’Equal to Heaven,’ his status was now comparable to heaven, wasn’t it high enough?

Any higher and it would surpass heaven.

With his new status, Sun Wukong even started caring about his image, maintaining a posed demeanor as he walked.

Looking around and seeing no one, Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward, covering Sun Wukong’s mouth with his hand, saying: "Good for nothing ape, why are you shouting? Since when are you and I brothers?"

If anyone found out that he and Sun Wukong addressed each other as brothers in Heaven Court and then Sun Wukong rebelled against Heaven, how could Jiang Chen remain in Heaven Court?

Struggling free from Jiang Chen’s arm, Sun Wukong said, "Brother, don’t be like that. I’m no longer a rebel. Nowadays, I’m the Equal to Heaven Great Sage, a top official in Heaven Court, way higher than your random Demon Suppression Heavenly King."

From Sun Wukong’s perspective at this time, it was easy to guess what he was thinking. He was now on the rise and wanted to show off to his brother.

In simpler terms, not showing off a bit would simply feel incomplete.

If Sun Wukong was actually a worthy Equal to Heaven Great Sage, there would be nothing wrong with that. However, while his title sounded grand, it was nothing but a sham.

If this monkey knew the truth, he would surely cause chaos, and sooner or later, he would cause major trouble. Jiang Chen wanted to stay in Heaven Court, so forming a close relationship with Sun Wukong would not be wise.

Thus, he heard Jiang Chen speaking in a lowered voice, "Monkey, listen, I am about to embark on a great endeavor, and for your own good, you should continue to pretend you don’t know me in Heaven Court."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed, and said nonchalantly, "Brother, what kind of talk is that? Given our bond, whatever great undertaking you want to embark on, just let me know. I will definitely support you with all I can."

"Even if it means rebelling against Heaven Court, I won’t even wrinkle my eyebrows."

Sun Wukong’s words were full of bravado, even including talk of rebelling against Heaven. If an ordinary person heard such words, they would undoubtedly be moved.

However, Jiang Chen was different. He was certain that Sun Wukong would not assist him in what he was about to do. So, to Sun Wukong’s grand words, he just gave a cold laugh:

"Hehe, Monkey, do you really mean to help?"

Sun Wukong nodded his head, affirming, "Of course. What kind of bond do we share? We’ve been through life and death together."

After the events at Langjuxu Mountain, Sun Wukong truly started to consider Jiang Chen a brother. He was deeply moved by their shared benefits and experiences.

Moreover, the patriarch of Jiang family, Jiang Xuan, not only taught him an incredibly powerful magic treasure but also pointed out his shortcomings. Something not even the patriarch Bodhi had done. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Deeply moved, Sun Wukong saw Jiang Xuan as a guide, an elder on his path of life, and began to see Jiang Chen as his best friend.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen this time, in addition to patting himself on the back, the monkey also wanted to ask Jiang Xuan where he lived, intending to bring gifts for a visit.

Jiang Chen was unaware of the monkey’s thought process, he just wanted to get rid of him. However, the task he was about to perform was indeed inconvenient for the monkey to be involved in.

After deliberating for a while, Jiang Chen said, "Monkey, did you know that demons are causing chaos in the Three Realms, wreaking havoc everywhere, causing unrest throughout the realms?"

"We, as officials in Heaven Court, enjoying the faith and incense of the people, should shoulder our responsibilities. We should go out and suppress the demons in the world below, maintaining the order of Three Realms and protecting the local lands."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong nodded in agreement, even though he was uneducated, even he knew that maintaining peace and protecting lands and people were the responsibilities of Heavenly Gods.

Seeing the monkey nodding in agreement, Jiang Chen seized the opportunity: "Monkey, the great thing that I am about to do is to eliminate the demons, to maintain the order of the Three Realms."

"In the world below, there are currently six demons causing a lot of disturbances, claiming mountains as their own, ruling a land and not taking Heaven Court seriously."

"Their Demon Soldiers are also very disorderly, engaging in slaughter for pleasure, filled with evil."

"People have suffered for too long! It’s time for us to step forward and exterminate them."

Saying this, Jiang Chen looked serious at the monkey and said: "Monkey, if you truly see me as your brother, then join me in defeating these six demons. How about it?"

Sun Wukong was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly realized something was wrong, the deeds of the six demons sounded very familiar.

As a result, he asked Jiang Chen hesitantly, "Brother, the six demons you mentioned, they wouldn’t happen to be my six sworn brothers, would they?"
