Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 210 - 200: Continuous reminders from the Innate Bay Tree
Chapter 210: Chapter 200: Continuous reminders from the Innate Bay Tree
Jiang Chen’s serendipity might remain unfathomable, yet it doesn’t deter the Innate Laurel Tree from investing in him.
Knowing well in advance that this boy will grow into greatness, the Innate Laurel Tree doesn’t mind connecting with him through a good fortune early on.
The big shots of the ancient times loved nothing more than to invest in talented youngsters and make a good connection with them, that might prove beneficial in the future.
What the Innate Laurel Tree currently aims to do is to seize the opportunity to invest in Jiang Chen while he is still developing.
The Innate Laurel Tree opened its mouth and said, "Lad, let me take a look at your Sun God’s Staff."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen quickly presented the Sun God’s Staff and said, "I respectfully request that the senior take a look."
Without even seeing the Innate Laurel Tree move, Jiang Chen felt a gentle force receiving the Sun God’s Staff from his hand and hovering it before the Innate Laurel Tree’s eyes.
After examining it carefully for a while, the Innate Laurel Tree praised, "This is a fine artifact. Although it originated from a Fusang tree, it has undergone several transformations and has already transcended the limitations of a Fusang tree. It has the potential to become a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"It’s clear that you have been focusing on empowering this artifact over the years. Otherwise, it could not possibly have such a profound foundation."
Seemingly in admiration of the Sun God’s Staff, the Innate Laurel Tree went on, "The Fusang tree must have also noticed the potential of this artifact and thus granted it a wisp of its original source."
"It’s not that the Fusang tree was stingy, but rather the artifact was naturally abundant in sun origin, and if the Fusang tree gave it more sun origin, it might have reverted back to its original state after finally surpassing the limitations of the Fusang tree."
Although the Laurel Tree’s explanations were somewhat convoluted, Jiang Chen understood that it was not about the Fusang tree being stingy, but rather it was unable to give more.
Initially, having absorbed so many Innate Spirit Roots, the Sun God’s Staff had already undergone a transformation and was no longer a pure sun artifact. It could hold other properties, which allowed more room for development.
However, if the Innate Fusang tree gave it too much of its original source, the artifact, after absorbing it, would revert to being a sun artifact again. While it might be more powerful, it would undeniably lose some of its potential.
Upon understanding this, Jiang Chen quickly thanked the Innate Laurel Tree, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Smiling, the Innate Laurel Tree separated a branch without saying a word, transforming it into pure Innate Taiyin Origin and merged it into the Sun God’s Staff.
The amount of Innate Taiyin Origin was just right, exactly balancing the Innate Sun Origin inside the Sun God’s Staff.
As the Taiyin and Sun origins converged, they reacted violently. However, in front of the Innate Laurel Tree, such a reaction amounted to nothing.
Soon enough, the origins intertwined like the Yin-Yang Taiji symbol, gradually rotating and producing a mystical power.
When Yin and Yang unite, creation begins. The mysterious force generated by the Yin-Yang Taiji symbol is the innate qi of creation.
As the qi of creation circulated, the appearance of the Sun God’s Staff gradually changed. First to a golden hue, then to silver, followed by pure white, and then to pure black, sometimes also displaying the color of chaos.
In short, a myriad of transformations occurred on the Sun God’s Staff.
While the Sun God’s Staff was undergoing transformations, a strand of the Innate Qi of Creation descended and entered Jiang Chen’s body, slowly remodeling his physique.
Even those born as divine beings have different levels. The divine demons also have their hierarchy. Jiang Chen, who had just transformed into a natural-born divine being, was undoubtedly the lowest-ranked divine being.
However, with the infusion of this Innate Qi of Creation, Jiang Chen’s body was undergoing mysterious changes, slowly metamorphosing into a higher-ranking deity.
Bang!
At a certain moment, the Sun God’s Staff vibrated intensely, releasing a powerful breath.
Jiang Chen was alerted. He lifted his head and saw numerous runes emerging in the void. Crisscrossing densely, they formed the Dao and principles, being imprinted on the Sun God’s Staff.
The Yin-Yang power ascended dramatically, turning into black and white colors like two divine dragons of different hues, their heads and tails intertwined around the Sun God’s Staff, emanating a faint aura of Dao.
Swish...
When the Yin-Yang power evolved to its limit, it abruptly recoiled, turning into two mysterious lights that disappeared into the body of the Sun God’s Staff.
Immediately after, the Sun God’s Staff reverted to its usual appearance, and all its powers began to converge, dropping from the air back into Jiang Chen’s hand.
Holding the Sun God’s Staff, Jiang Chen could sense that the artifact had become even more mystical, as if resonating with Heaven and Earth. Holding it felt like grasping the pulse of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, although the Sun God’s Staff was still an Acquired Treasure, its power had undoubtedly grown stronger. It was on par with a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
In other words, Jiang Chen could transform the Sun God’s Staff into a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure at any time if he wished to.
Swish...
With a whoosh, two mysterious beams of light, one black and one white, surged out of the Sun God’s Staff, pouring into Jiang Chen’s body. They merged with the Sun and Moon in his Dan Tian, emitting mysterious fluctuations.
It was the Innate Yin and Yang Original Source, which is the power given by the Sun God’s Staff to Jiang Chen.
Its function is similar to that of the Innate Metal Original Source given to him by Taibai Venus, with power not inferior to Innate Spiritual Treasures. Moreover, it can help him when he breaks through Tao Sovereign, providing a powerful assistance.
"Thank you, senior."
While feeling the changes in his body, Jiang Chen thanked the Innate Moon Laurel Tree.
"Hmmm!" The Moon Laurel Tree nodded and continued, "Old man observes that your treasure carries not only the breath of Fusang Tree, but also that of the Bodhi Tree, Kun Mu, Jian Mu, Bitter Bamboo, and the Merit Golden Lotus of my fellow Daoists."
"Thinking about it, this treasure in your hands has indeed swallowed a lot of good things. However, it is precisely because it has swallowed these divine woods that this treasure has such amazing potential."
The divine woods mentioned by the Moon Laurel Tree are all treasures of Heaven and Earth. They are the top-notch Innate Spirit Roots in the Prehistoric World. The fact that Jiang Chen can gather these treasures is more difficult than finding a few Innate Spiritual Treasures, showing the strength of his Fate.
At these words, Jiang Chen gave an embarrassed smile. It’s not that he wouldn’t acknowledge it, but apart from Fusang Tree, Kun Mu, and Jian Mu, the rest of the treasures were all close to the big fool, Sunlight Bodhisattva.
He responded in embarrassment: "Senior, you flatter me. You flatter me."
The Moon Laurel Tree, unable to peek into Fuxi’s methods, took Jiang Chen’s reply as modesty and continued to laugh and say, "Now that your treasure has achieved Yin and Yang, it is only lacking the Five Elements to become complete."
"Once you find the spirit roots of the Five Elements for it to devour, it can allow the treasure to reach perfection and naturally transform into an top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."
Combining the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements will make the Sun God’s Staff perfectly complete. This is something Jiang Chen did not know before, and no one had told him.
Now that he heard it from the Moon Laurel Tree, Jiang Chen naturally understood that he was being guided. Therefore, he immediately asked respectfully, "May I ask, senior, what are the Five Elements?"
Seemingly satisfied with Jiang Chen’s attitude, the Innate Moon Laurel Tree laughed and said, "Speaking of the Five Elements Spirit Roots, there are naturally many in the world, but if we’re talking about the top ones, there are probably five: the Geng Metal Bodhi Tree, the Jia Wood Jian Mu Tree, the Ren Water Pan Peach Tree, the Bing Fire Phoenix Tree, and the Xu Earth Ginseng Fruit Tree."
"If you can find a trace of the original source of these five divine trees to feed to the Sun God’s Staff, it would be complete in the Five Elements and transform into a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure instantaneously."
The five divine trees mentioned by the Moon Laurel Tree, Jiang Chen had not only heard of them, but he had already obtained the original sources of two of them: Jian Mu Tree and the Innate Bodhi Tree.
The former was already shattered and its original source easy to find.
The latter was much more awesome. It was the well-known Zhunti Saint. If it weren’t for Jiang Hao’s scheme against the Sunlight Bodhisattva, Jiang Chen would never have been able to get his hands on its original source, not even if he had spent his entire life trying.
As for the remaining three divine trees, the Phoenix Tree is the treasure of the Phoenix Clan, the Pan Peach Tree is the root of the Queen Mother, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree is the life root of the ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi.
To get their original sources is extremely difficult, perhaps even as hard as achieving Great Ancient Martial Arts.
It seemed that the Moon Laurel Tree also felt that Jiang Chen might not be able to do it, so he continued, "You don’t necessarily need to gather all five. The Five Elements generate and inhibit each other, so just three or four would be enough. The rest can be replaced by other spirit roots, which can be evolved."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s eyes brightened. He had already collected two, so that meant he only needed to gather one more.
The difficulty was undoubtedly greatly reduced. With careful planning, he might even be able to cut down a few Pan Peach Trees.
The Moon Laurel Tree was unaware of Jiang Chen’s thoughts, and just continued, "Given your Jiang Family’s relationship with the Phoenix Clan, it should not be difficult to ask for the source of the Phoenix Tree."
Indeed, the Jiang Family is related to the Phoenix Clan. It shouldn’t be difficult to ask for a bit of the Phoenix Tree’s original source. With that, Jiang Chen’s problem was mostly solved. Even if he couldn’t get the source of the Pan Peach Tree, there was still the source of the Phoenix Tree as a backup.
With their talk reaching this point and everything basically settled, Jiang Chen was ready to leave. However, the Moon Laurel Tree then informed him of news he didn’t know.
If one wants to build good karma, one either does not do it at all, or one does it completely. There’s absolutely no such thing as doing it halfway, otherwise, the effectiveness of the good karma would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Innate Moon Laurel Tree decided to help Jiang Chen to the end, aiding him in evolving the Sun God’s Staff to perfection.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the moon pendants hanging from the tree to rustle. Underneath the tree, the Moon Laurel Tree began to speak faintly, "I find you pleasing to the eye, young man, so let me tell you some news."
"Actually, even if you gather the Five Elements Spirit Roots, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Sun God’s Staff will successfully transform into a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"The acquired defying the Innate will inevitably result in heavenly punishment. The Sun God’s Staff may not be able to withstand it."
"And even if it can survive the heavenly punishment and is transformed into a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it might be deemed as top-tier, but it cannot be called the strongest."
ps: Indeed, weather affects mood.
When it’s hot, the mood also flares up and explodes easily.
