Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 150 - 149: The Vacant Position of the Emperor of Ziwei

Chapter 150: Chapter 149: The Vacant Position of the Emperor of Ziwei

In the last years of the Ancient times, Jiang Xuan once wielded this staff in a showdown against Emperor Yu. In other words, he was the previous master of the Solar Divine Staff.

However, as time has passed, the present Solar Divine Staff has nothing to do with him anymore.

Or put it in another way, even if the Flame Emperor were to arrive personally, he might not be able to seize the Solar Divine Staff from Jiang Chen’s hands.

Since the Solar Divine Staff underwent a transformation and was promoted to become an Innate Spiritual Treasure, its bond with Jiang Chen has only grown stronger. As of this day, the Solar Divine Staff has effectively become Jiang Chen’s personal spiritual treasure.

How difficult would it be to snatch it away from Jiang Chen’s hand? By the time when the Solar Divine Staff fully transforms into an Innate Spiritual Treasure, Jiang Chen’s refinement of it will have reached a terrifying level.

Union of Man and Treasure!

As if it was a part of his own body, they are now inseparable.

Once that time comes, no one in this world will be able to take the Solar Divine Staff from Jiang Chen’s possession.

...

...

Recalling his thoughts, Jiang Xuan reached out and stroked the Solar Divine Staff. A divine light flickered, and a jade pendant in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, an Innate talisman, flew out from inside and landed in front of Jiang Chen.

"What is this....?"

Seeing the jade pendant that suddenly appeared before him, Jiang Chen’s eyes were filled with confusion. There was a jade pendant hidden inside the Solar Divine Staff? How did he not know of this?

"This is the Emperor’s Seal..." After giving the jade pendant to Jiang Chen, Jiang Xuan explained the origins of this object.

It was nothing complicated. It was simply the treasure that Jiang Hao had used to plot against the Sunlight Bodhisattva; it was left behind by him and not taken away.

Considering the mystical nature of the Emperor’s seal, it was perfectly normal for Jiang Chen not to have found it.

"Take this to the Palace of Gouchen. It will ensure your safety. Even the bravest demons wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on you." Jiang Xuan added lastly.

The Emperor’s Seal symbolized the Tiandi. Those demons were merely audacious, but not crazy. Upon seeing Jiang Chen approaching wielding this treasure, they would have their reservations. They may insult him a few times, but they will absolutely not lay hands on him.

This, is a life-saving charm!

Of course, there was one thing Jiang Xuan did not say, but Jiang Chen certainly knew, and that was this object’s power to shield against divination. Carrying this item, very few in the Three Realms could divine Jiang Chen’s actions.

Upon receiving the Emperor’s Seal, Jiang Chen’s hanging heart settled down. As a treasure of the Tiandi, it’s naturally extraordinary; it’s a life-saving treasure.

Well, he could be a bit more audacious from now on.

At that moment, the name ’Yu Dou Xuan Zun’ once again surfaced in Jiang Chen’s mind. He was curious, so he asked Jiang Xuan: "Since Lei Zhenzi is not Gouchen Emperor, then Ziwe Emperor probably isn’t Boyikao either, right?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at Jiang Chen, seeming surprised by his question, but nonetheless answered truthfully: "That’s correct, Boyikao is just like Lei Zhenzi, they are both Star Lords, not Emperors."

"If you think about it, the identity of the Ziwe Emperor is very important, even surpassing the Gouchen Emperor. He controls the Cycle of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, the myriad phenomena of the universe... He is the vice-monarch of the Three Realms, the future Tiandi."

"In the Three Realms, there are many people who have their eyes on this position; they are all formidable individuals with impressive backgrounds."

"If Boyikao dared to call himself the Ziwei Emperor, he might not even live through the second day."

"Ignoring the Emperor of the Underworld from the Netherworld, who was so desperate to take over as the Ziwei Emperor that he’s proclaiming himself to be the incarnation of the Ziwei Emperor... Take the Four Saints of Bei Ji, who sit under the Ziwei Emperor, they are all the pinnacle of power in the Three Realms."

"Would such figures let an ordinary human sit above them?"

"It can be said that without a power strong enough to suppress the Three Realms, or the backing of someone like the Jade Emperor, anyone that assumes the position of Ziwei Emperor can hardly escape the fate of death."

Listening to Jiang Xuan say countless things, Jiang Chen didn’t remember a single word, but he understood one thing: the position of Za-Wei Emperor is currently vacant.

Pondering silently for a moment, Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully: "So, you’re saying that the position of the Ziwei Emperor is still vacant?"

Subconsciously, Jiang Xuan nodded, "That’s right, ever since the setting up of the Four Imperial positions, besides the Western Gouchen Emperor and Emperor of the Earth Hou Tu, the other two emperors, Ziwei Emperor and Nanji Emperor, have remained vacant."

The Longevity Emperor of the South Pole is also vacant!

Well, come to think of it now, there’s nothing to be surprised about. If Lei Zhenzi and Boyikao are not worthy of becoming Gods, then does Nan Ji Xianweng deserve it?

He’s not even a legitimate disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, he’s just a nominal disciple. His background might be grand, but it’s certainly not ancient.

As an Innate Divine Demon born of the Nanji star, to tell the truth, Nan Ji Xianweng’s origin might not be that ancient. It probably dates back to just after the war between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.

If he was born during the era of the war between the Human Race and the Demon Clan, with Nan Ji Xianweng’s background, he would have been killed by the Demon Clan a long time ago.

The Demon Clan, who wielded the power of the Cycle of Stars, would definitely not let the Innate Star Gods survive. After all, the Cycle of Stars is the foundation of the Demon Clan, and it could not be undermined.

...

Right now, however, Jiang Chen’s focus is not on the Emperor of the Southern Pole, but entirely on the Ziwei Emperor.

The Imperial position remains vacant,

Doesn’t it mean that he has a chance?

If he became the Ziwei Emperor, he could marry Ten Fairy Maidens and reach the peak of life... Nope.

He would be able to control the Sun, Moon, Stars and Earth, the gods of mountains and rivers, and natural phenomena such as the four seasons. He could make wind and rain and command the god of thunder and lightning.

At the thought of this, Jiang Chen was excited.

He felt, he could give it a try.

Becoming the Ziwei Emperor of the Central Heaven might sound like a fairy tale, but Jiang Chen is different; he is a transmigrator, the protagonist.

What’s the greatest power of a transmigrator? Isn’t it to break common rules and make the impossible possible?

So, right now, he was extremely confident that the position of the Ziwei Emperor was prepared for him.

On the side, Jiang Xuan seemed to notice Jiang Chen’s excitement and said with a weird look on his face, "You wouldn’t be thinking about stepping into the Ziwei Emperor’s position after hearing that it’s vacant, now would you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen confidently replied, "That’s right, I feel I have a destiny with the position of the Ziwei Emperor."

This is not nonsense. If it were not destiny, why would he impulsively shout the name Yu Dou Xuan Zun?

Ziwei Emperor, named Golden Wheel Fierce Prosperity, has a Tao name, Yu Dou Xuan Zun.

Yu Dou Xuan Zun is the honorary name given to the Ziwei Emperor by the Immortal Beings.

"Wow, destiny." Jiang Xuan said in a peculiar tone: "As expected of a senior in the Buddhist faith, you see destiny in everything."

Talking till here, Jiang Xuan’s face changed, revealing a look of praise. He gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up and said, "Good lad, you’re ambitious.’

"When I was your age, I was also full of youthful spirit and felt I was destined to become the Human Emperor after Emperor Shun. Who else could it be, if not me!"

"Unfortunately..."

He did not finish the rest of his words, but Jiang Chen understood what he meant. Afterwards, he encountered Emperor Yu, and his path to becoming a Human Emperor was cut off.
