Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1336 - 909 Family

Jiang Chen’s small courtyard was left by his parents, but he had never met them, as they had died before he was even born. He was raised by the Jiang Family.

He had not yet been born when his parents died, which sounded absurd, but that was the truth. Jiang Chen was not a being born from a mother’s womb, but a being formed from the essence blood of the Human Race and the vital breath of Heaven and Earth.

Jiang Chen’s father was the pride of the previous generation of the Jiang Family, born with the Sun God Body, with exceptionally rich innate bloodlines, making him akin to a naturally born deity.

Jiang Chen’s mother was a noble daughter of the Ji Family, a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan people’s emperor, born in Fire Cloud Cave, and did not leave Fire Cloud Cave until she reached adulthood, then traveled to the Lower Realm.

Jiang Chen’s father was almost certainly set to be the young master of the Jiang Family at the time, only waiting for him to grow up before the old family head would resign and pass on the position to him.

However, contrary to their wishes, on the eve of Jiang Chen’s father becoming the family head of the Jiang Family, he and his wife both encountered an accident.

At that time, for reasons unknown, the Three Realms suddenly shook, causing the defenses guarded by the Human Race to reveal flaws, and a large number of Fierce Beasts invaded the human world.

At that moment, Jiang Chen’s parents happened to be passing by. Seeing the Fierce Beasts invade, they did not hesitate at all and immediately fought against them.

Together, the couple’s strength was not weaker than that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. They were more than a match for a few Fierce Beasts.

But even though the Fierce Beasts were not strong, the cracks in the seal allowed a continuous influx of them into the human world.

Not only that but behind that seal, even more potent forces spread out. Unimaginable Fierce Beasts took action, striking the seal.

A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant burrow.

If they allowed this breach to enlarge, the defense line painstakingly established by the Human Race would collapse, leading to a massive invasion of Fierce Beasts into the Nanbuzhan Continent, culminating in a terrible disaster.

Contemplating the consequences of the Fierce Beasts’ invasion and for the sake of all Living Beings Between Heaven and Earth, Jiang Chen’s parents resolutely used their own bloodlines as a guide and employed forbidden Divine Abilities, sacrificing themselves, forcefully borrowing two strands of Saint Emperor’s Power to staunchly seal the breach in the defense line.

Thus, a major disaster was prevented from happening, but Jiang Chen’s parents had to pay with their lives.

Afterward, experts from both families rushed over and used countless methods, but they could only gather two lingering strands of essence blood left after the couple’s death. As for their souls and True Spirits, they completely vanished without a trace.

The reason forbidden methods are known as such is because the price is too devastating. Once used, one might be wiped from existence Between Heaven and Earth.

With the individuals gone, despite how much the experts from both families grieved, there was nothing they could do.

In the end, they fused the two strands of essence blood they had collected and, using creation magic, transformed them into a fetus, and this fetus was Jiang Chen.

Although born of Heaven and Earth, because the two strands of essence blood were too weak, Jiang Chen was not born as an Innate creature but as an ordinary acquired Living Being. However, this did not affect his status. His parents had done a great service to Heaven and Earth, who would dare to mistreat him?

Therefore, Jiang Chen was born with great favor, being the direct descendant of both the Jiang and Ji families. Were it not for his special status, why else would Jiang Chen dare pretend to be a member of the Ji Family?

The Jiang Family and the Ji Family, even if sharing the same bloodline, were two separate entities, not one. Their lineage had long since diverged.

...

Returning to his own small courtyard, Jiang Chen felt a mix of emotions. Back when he lived here, how could he have imagined he would achieve such dazzling accomplishments?

The Star Lord of the Boundless Starry Sky, a position below only the Tiandi and Taoist Ancestors, but above saints. Even the rank of a human emperor was a half measure weaker.

To mortals, even having been favored by the Boundless Starry Sky, Jiang Chen’s small courtyard was no different than before.

But from the perspective of a Cultivator, this place immediately became different. Countless stars enveloped it, making the small courtyard seem as if it was situated in the starry sky itself.

At the same time, around the courtyard, endless Emperor Qi permeated, transforming in the void into nine, Nine-clawed Azure Dragons, firmly guarding the place, ensuring that not even the slightest filth could approach.

The former dwelling of the Star Lord, blessed by Heaven and Earth, was the highest level of a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, too sacred and divine to be tainted by filth.

Cave Heaven Blessed Lands nourish people, and people can also nourish Cave Heaven Blessed Lands. At this moment, as Jiang Chen broke through and rose to an extremely high position, everything associated with him basked in his glory, reaping great benefits and undergoing transformation.

Just like the place where he had lived before, even the most ordinary mortal realm had numerous celestial mechanisms converge, transforming it into the highest level of a blessed land.

And his friends and relatives also benefited greatly. Simply put, they had better luck and found breakthroughs easier. The closer the relationship, the greater the benefits they received.

"Jiang Chen, you’re back!"

As soon as Jiang Chen returned to his small courtyard, the Jiang Family head, who had been constantly watching over the place, noticed his presence. After waiting for a while, he approached Jiang Chen and greeted him.

"Indeed, I’m back!"

Jiang Chen was quite polite to the family head; after all, by blood, he was Jiang Chen’s real uncle. Today’s Jiang Family head was truly Jiang Chen’s father’s own brother.

"Alas, I never thought that in the blink of an eye, your strength would far surpass mine. If your parents could see this moment, they would surely be very comforted."
