Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 209 - 199 Wu Gang

The entire Star of Taiyin is under the control of the girl. As long as she wants, any movement on the Star of Taiyin, cannot escape her ears and eyes.

Those Celestial Soldiers and Generals are basically the girl’s people, so how could they possibly obey Immortal Chang’e’s command to drive out Jiang Chen, the Star Lord Messenger from the Star of Taiyin.

"How is this possible?"

Hearing no one responding to her commands, Immortal Chang’e murmured confusedly.

This wasn’t the scenario she had envisioned. Shouldn’t it be that once she issued an order, all the Celestial Soldiers would appear to arrest Jiang Chen? But now, why there was still not a single person appearing after such a long time?

Seeing Immortal Chang’e standing there, Jiang Chen waved the Star Jun mark of Taiyin in his hand and said to her, "Immortal, you might as well save your energy. I am here on the orders of the Lord of the Star of Taiyin. Those generals know my identity, how dare they attack me?"

After saying this, Jiang Chen turned and walked towards the pre-heaven laurel tree not far away. He really did not want to get involved with these women, or it would be a heap of trouble.

Thus, he wanted to leave as early as possible.

However, while Jiang Chen thought that, the other party did not appreciate his intention, but instead thought he was doing it on purpose.

Immortal Chang’e was very angry, feeling that Jiang Chen was deliberately messing with her.

He did not show the Star of Taiyin mark earlier, instead, he brought it out only after she called for people. This made her lose face, wasn’t this deliberately making fun of her?

The more Immortal Chang’e thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that Jiang Chen was extremely annoying, so much so that her teeth were itching with hatred.

She didn’t take time to consider if she had given Jiang Chen the chance to speak. As soon as she heard Jiang Chen did not have the Queen Mother’s decree, she directly ordered the arrest, not giving Jiang Chen a chance to speak.

No, even if she knew, she would not think it was her fault. In any case, it was all Jiang Chen’s fault, all because he did not reveal his identity at the first opportunity.

Well, women are just like that, unreasonable.

Jiang Chen, who didn’t know that he was being severely written down, quickly arrived under the pre-heaven laurel tree, and looked up.

It was a divine tree as clear as ice, not particularly large, about the same height as the pre-heaven Fusang tree, swirling with bone-chilling cold.

However, compared to the entirely golden pre-heaven Fusang tree, the pre-heaven laurel tree that looked like a piece of ice was obviously much more beautiful. It did not exude an air of majesty like the Fusang tree did, but instead a sense of chilly nobility.

The two were not just different in nature, but also in temperament.

Under the massive trunk of the pre-heaven laurel tree, a robust man was emotionlessly waving a giant axe, striking the trunk of the pre-heaven laurel tree over and over again.

Every time his axe swung down, it would leave a huge scar on the body of the pre-heaven laurel tree.

But every time he retracted the axe, a divine light flashed, and the wounds on the body of the pre-heaven laurel tree would recover completely.

That was Wu Gang, whom the Tian Emperor punished to cut down the laurel tree in the Moon Palace. The tree healed as soon as it was chopped and would never stop.

Wu Gang is the most mysterious person in the Moon Palace and the only man. The world does not know his background or why he was punished by Tian Emperor, but there are many rumors due to all the guesses.

For example, Wu Gang was punished because he had an affair with Immortal Chang’e. Or, Wu Gang killed the descendants of Flame Emperor, which made the Flame Emperor furious and therefore banished him to the Moon Palace to chop down the laurel tree.

There are many legends about Wu Gang, and each seems to be credible and real. But Jiang Chen, who inherited the legacy of Emperor Xu, knew that all these rumors were false and none of them was true.

Wu Gang’s background is far older and powerful than people think. The person who punished him was not Haotian God nor Flame Emperor, but Di Jun, the first Tian Emperor in prehistoric times, and the true Tian Emperor.

Wu Gang was born in the distant ancient times. When he was banished to the Moon Palace to chop down the tree, Flame Emperor hadn’t even born yet, let alone Immortal Chang’e.

In other words, Wu Gang has existed on the Star of Taiyin since ancient times, he is extremely ancient.

As for how Jiang Chen knew all this, of course, he learned it from the Xu Emperor’s inheritance.

Yes, the inheritance of Xu Emperor specifically recorded the background of Wu Gang. However, at that time, he was not called Wu Gang but was called Yi.

One of the most powerful Great Witches of the Witch Clan, the prehistoric hero who shot down nine Golden Crows, Great Witch Yi.

Historically, he is called — Da Yi!

The so-called "Da" is a kind of honorific. Yi has saved countless beings by shooting down the nine suns, and people were grateful for his kindness, thus they respected him as Da Yi.

Just like how the Human Race refers to King Yu as Da Yu, it is a way to show respect for him.

Unfortunately, although Da Yi did a great service, he did kill nine sons of Tian Emperor Di Jun, so how could Di Jun tolerate him? How could the Demon Clan tolerate him? freёnovelkiss.com

Even with the protection of the Ancestral Witch, Da Yi could not escape from death.

After all, it was Di Jun, the so-called master of the prehistoric times. If he was determined to kill someone, even a saint could not save him.

Killing a person is much easier than protecting a person.

After Da Yi’s death, Di Jun was still uneasy. The Witch Clan held the treasure of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; it was possible that with some sacrifice, they might bring Da Yi back from the reincarnation cycle.

Worried about this, Di Jun used an unparalleled method to extract a True Spirit of Da Yi, transforming it into Wu Gang and imprisoning him on the Taiyin Star, where he was forced to chop at the Innate laurel tree day after day.

Without this crucial True Spirit, even if the Witch Clan defied heaven, they could not possibly resurrect Da Yi.

As far as Jiang Chen knew, in the early days of the ancient times, the Witch Clan had once tried to resurrect the Great Da Yi, making his remnant soul reincarnate into the Human Race, and transform into Hou Yi, to change the Nine Tripods, seize the world, and replace the Xiahous.

The early and middle stages of the plan went very smoothly. However, at the very last moment, Hou Yi was about to break into the realm of Daluo Daoist Venerable and awaken Da Yi’s True Spirit, the disadvantage of his incomplete true spirit exploded, leading to a failed verification of the Dao and his death.

One could say that Wu Gang, this True Spirit of Da Yi, was the key to his resurrection.

The Witch Clan clearly understood this point, but Di Jun’s hatred for Da Yi was too intense. To prevent outsiders from releasing this True Spirit of Da Yi, when he sealed this True Spirit, he invited all the masters of the demon clan to join hands in the sealing.

Those who took action included the strongest of the demon clan, Donghuang Taiyi, the supreme ruler of the Heaven Court, Xi Huang, and the demon master Kunpeng from the North Sea, among others.

Each was one of the great divine transcendents at the top of the Chaos world, no weaker than the twelve ancestral witches, second only to the saints.

With so many strong hands together, the seal they imposed was so strong that it couldn’t be broken open even by the ancestral witches. They had no choice but to leave this true spirit of Da Yi on Taiyin Star.

...

......

"Greetings, senior!"

Jiang Chen, from afar, greeted Wu Gang and quickly moved to the side to approach the Innate Laurel tree from the other side.

Wu Gang was only a True Spirit of Da Yi and didn’t have any intelligence to speak of. He was just mechanically waving his giant axe to chop the Innate Laurel tree. As he had no intelligence, he naturally didn’t react to Jiang Chen’s arrival.

Even so, Jiang Chen dared not get close to him. Don’t underestimate him being just a True Spirit. The strength he possessed was many times greater than Jiang Chen.

Just look at that Innate laurel tree. Its trunk was so tough that even if Jiang Chen used all his strength, he might not be able to leave a mark on it.

But Wu Gang managed to strike it with his axe, directly leaving a deep cut on the body of the Innate laurel tree.

This strike only caused such a reaction because it fell on the Innate laurel tree. If it landed in the starry sky, it would certainly easily destroy a large part of the Star River.

Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal could take a direct hit from Wu Gang’s axe, they might not survive. One axe, one Great Luo Golden Immortal, referred to Wu Gang. You can imagine how powerful he is.

If Jiang Chen were to get close to Wu Gang and accidentally get hit by his axe, it would not kill him, but it would definitely hurt a lot.

That’s why Jiang Chen dared not get too close to him.

Carefully moving to the other side, Jiang Chen came up to the Innate Laurel tree, bowed respectfully, and said, "Junior Jiang Chen, acting on the ancient ancestor’s order, has come to pay my respects to the senior."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen revealed the Taiyin Star Jun badge bestowed by Jiang Hao, which shone on his wrist, emitting a very pure Innate Taiyin power.

Feeling the breath of the Taiyin Star Jun, the Innate Laurel tree gradually revealed an old face.

"This one here is a little guy with a good fortune."

"Your purpose, I already know. I’ll give you some benefits, considering it a good karma deal."

While the Innate Laurel Tree had not transformed, it had a cultivation base that, though not as superior as saints, was not much weaker than those top-ranking divine transcendents.

Even if such individuals as the Buddha Tathagata from the three realms were here, they would not necessarily be the match of this tree.

Due to his strength, he could know the origin of Jiang Chen with just a thought. Moreover, the Innate Laurel tree was older and more powerful than Jiang Hao.

He was truly born in the Innate era, and had witnessed Pangu’s Sky Breaking with his own eyes, evolving with the Chaos World. So in that regard, he knew a bit more.

On Jiang Chen’s body, the Innate Laurel Tree not only saw the Immortal Dao light, but in his illusion, he also saw a vague, illusion-like shadow of Pangu Great God behind Jiang Chen.

Pangu, the origin of Chaos, the foundation of the Tao, the root of Heaven and Earth, the target of the saints, is the known, strongest, and most terrifying existence.

The Innate Laurel Tree was astonished to see Pangu’s shadow in Jiang Chen. This alone made him feel that Jiang Chen’s future was promising and not as simple as a Daluo Daoist Venerable.

The Innate Lunar Laurel Tree had no intention of prying into Jiang Chen’s secrets or why Pangu’s shadow existed behind him. Those were his personal fortunes and luck.

Each person has their karma. If one pries too much, it will inevitably lead to great misfortune for oneself.

The Innate Lunar Laurel Tree, which had lived endless years, knew this very well. Moreover, there were not no beings behind Jiang Chen that could contend with him.

Not only were there beings, but there was more than one!

If this led to a misunderstanding, it would be troublesome.
