Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1312: Eight Nine Seven Divine Dao!

The Zhou Tian Divine Palace continuously devoured fragments of the Cycle of Stars, aiming to acquire the unique characteristics of those stars and thus reach a point where it could easily merge with the boundless starry sky.

Suddenly, a clear sound of a sword ringing resonated, and soon after, the Qingping Sword came from the void and returned to Jiang Chen’s body.

"Has Primordial Heavenly Sovereign withdrawn his hand?"

The Qingping Sword was used by Jiang Chen to delay the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Now that it had suddenly returned, it indicated that the great battle had ended and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi had been taken back by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

"The presence of Yun Zhongzi is also gone; it seems he has been saved by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign."

Jiang Chen tried to sense his surroundings, but he could not detect Yun Zhongzi’s presence nearby.

Despite his powerful Divine Abilities, which could banish Yun Zhongzi to endless dimensions, Jiang Chen’s abilities were still inferior to those of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, who could simply retrieve Yun Zhongzi from those endless dimensions with a mere thought.

While Jiang Chen didn’t outwardly respect the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, in his heart, he was well aware that he was not yet qualified to rival him. Were it not for the protection of Empress Nuwa and the Saint of Upper Qing, he would have long been crushed by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

Now, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign definitely possessed the power to crush him; even if Jiang Chen played all his cards, he was no match in a confrontation.

It was like when the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had once casually set a restriction that prevented the integration of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map. Even now, Jiang Chen remained unable to break it, which demonstrated the strength of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

The Saints were no longer the same as those from the Ancient Era; over the years, their power had become even more terrifying. Even if Donghuang Taiyi was resurrected, he could not rival the might of the Saints.

"The situation has evolved to this point; even if the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign does not want to intervene, it’s unavoidable, and even the Saint of Taiqing will step in. They might tolerate the continued strength of the Human Race, but they will never allow me to continue leading the Human Race."

"If I lead the Human Race, in the ensuing years, where would there be any opportunity for them to spread their teachings? The doctrines they left within the Human Race would surely decline, and eventually, the Human Race would break free from their control."

"They would never allow such a thing to happen, so in the time to come, they will certainly try their best to suppress me, in order to cut off my path to becoming the Human Sovereign."

Jiang Chen was introspecting; he was still not strong enough, which had led to an increase in enemies. Originally, the Saint of Yu Qing and Taiqing were targeting the Human Race from the shadows because of him, but now they would formally enter the fray and get involved in this conflict.

Whether Saints chose to act openly or stay in the shadows made a big difference. If they remained in the shadows, they would be cautious in their actions and would not exert their full strength. But if they came out into the open, they would have no reservations and could freely exert their power.

"Meet force with force, dam water with earth!"

"So what if they are Saints? It’s no longer the Ancient Era. Even if the Saints are strong, they cannot enter the Prehistoric World in their true forms, and the power they can wield is limited. If it really comes to a fight, our Human Race might not be able to overthrow the Saints."

With the completion of the Zhou Tian Divine Palace nearly at hand, Jiang Chen’s heart was now filled with confidence, brimming with a sense that he had no equal under the heavens.

Moreover, the Human Race had even slain a Heavenly Emperor—what was overturning a Saint in comparison? Even when faced with a Saint, he would not dare to claim superiority over the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor was indeed the lord of Heaven and Earth. Even Saints were nominally inferior to the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, Saints would address the Heavenly Emperor as ’fellow Taoist’ rather than ’Your Majesty.’

"The timing is almost ripe, and the Divine Dao should also appear in the world now. Let it be the opening ceremony for remolding the boundless starry sky and for the Divine Dao to emerge." freёnovelkiss.com

Throughout the entire Prehistoric World, Jiang Chen, who could single-handedly defeat the patriarch Kunpeng, had unquestionably reached the top echelons. This meant that Jiang Chen’s momentum was established, and there was no need to hide anymore; some things could finally be brought out.

Like the Divine Dao!

Previously, Jiang Chen dared not reveal the Divine Dao for fear that others might steal his achievements, but now, he had ample strength to protect the Divine Dao and feared no enemies.

Thus, there was no need to hide the Divine Dao any longer. He could boldly declare the existence of the Divine Dao to Heaven and Earth, formally stepping before the world and competing with other doctrines for the fortune of Heaven and Earth.

Not appearing in the world to claim a portion of the fortune of Heaven and Earth and always hiding meant that the Divine Dao would never have a chance to truly flourish! The strength of any doctrine was fought for; none was built by merely sneaking and surviving.

The main theme of heavenly adversaries was competition. Without competition, how could one obtain fortune or followers?

...

Stepping forward, Jiang Chen entered the depths of Xianyang City, preparing to collect the fragments of the Cycle of Stars gathered by the First Emperor.

Before his demise, the First Emperor had transferred control of Xianyang City to Jiang Chen. Thus, retrieving the fragments of the Cycle of Stars was not difficult for him.

The core of Xianyang City lay at its central hub, where the twelve golden statues were previously stored. Returning here, Jiang Chen felt deeply moved.

The First Emperor truly possessed great wisdom. Though referred to as a city, Xianyang was actually a Magic Treasure, one comparable to a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, even showing some traits of a Divine Artifact, the only difference being that the First Emperor had not created a world within the city.

It was not that the First Emperor couldn’t do so; rather, he had not thought of it. Given enough time, perhaps the pioneer of the Divine Artifact path would have been him, not Jiang Chen.

Unfortunately, what the First Emperor lacked most was time.
