Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 31 Eastern Sea

31: Chapter 31 Eastern Sea

31 -31 Eastern Sea

In the attic, the Jiang Family’s Patriarch asked Jiang Chen.

He wouldn’t fuss if Jiang Chen went somewhere else.

But Tanggu was different.

This place was not only dangerous, but also extremely unlikely to yield any benefits, hence not a good place for seeking opportunities.

“If you truly want the Innate Fusang Wood, wait till you’ve cultivated into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Then, I shall accompany you to the Sun Star and get a branch from the Innate Fusang tree for you,” the patriarch comforted Jiang Chen who had fallen silent.

The Innate Fusang Wood might be hard to obtain for others, but not necessarily for the Jiang Family.

The original Innate Fusang tree grew on the Sun Star, which was under the control of the Jiang Family.

This made it considerably easier for Jiang Family members to acquire the Innate Fusang Wood compared to others.

…

After a long silence, Jiang Chen said, “Ancestor, I insist on going to Tanggu.”

Upon hearing this, the patriarch was so irritated, he almost blew his beard.

Did all his previous advice just go to waste?

Seeing that the patriarch was somewhat angry, Jiang Chen quickly pulled out the Sun God Staff and presented it before him, “Ancestor, look!”

The patriarch was initially frustrated, but upon seeing the Sun God Staff, he paused.

“What is this?” He took the staff from Jiang Chen, examining it carefully.

“Goodness!”

“What kind of opportunity have you gotten that enabled the Sun God Staff to rejuvenate and demonstrate signs of further improvement?” The patriarch exclaimed, feeling the powerful vitality contained in the Sun God Staff.

Given his strength, it was not challenging for him to perceive the changes in the Sun God Staff.

It was undoubtedly stronger than before and contained an enormous vitality, as if it had sprung to life.

Evidently, in this period, Jiang Chen must’ve had some fortuitous encounters that led to the transformation of the Sun God Staff.

“Previously in the Great Qin treasury, the Sun God Staff absorbed a fragment of the Innate Jian Mu, causing this transformation,” Jiang Chen shared about his experience in the Great Qin’s treasury after a moment of thought.

“The Innate Jian Mu of the Great Shang?

It’s been ages since I heard of that name.

It’s quite a fortune that you managed to secure it.”

Upon hearing the name of the Innate Jian Mu, the patriarch drifted into his memories.

He was familiar with the Great Shang because he had experienced its glorious era and knew many secrets.

He had seen the Great Shang’s Innate Jian Mu tree with his own eyes too.

But it was a pity that this divine tree was destroyed after Wu Ding failed his raid on heaven.

When the old patriarch returned from his memories, Jiang Chen continued, “Ancestor, the Sun God Staff was obtained from that Innate Fusang at Tanggu.

I’m convinced that taking the Sun God Staff to Tanggu will yield significant benefits.”

The patriarch agreed, “Indeed, since the Sun God Staff has ‘rejuvenated’, you could potentially gain something from taking it to Tanggu.”

Since they shared the same origin, the Sun God Staff will receive the protection of the Innate Fusang in Tanggu.

Even if Jiang Chen couldn’t get the Innate Fusang, he would still obtain other treasures.

Tanggu, the legendary land of sunrise, housed not just the Innate Fusang but also other treasures.

“Well then, if you insist on setting off to Tanggu in the Eastern Sea, then I won’t stop you.

I just hope it doesn’t delay your timing for the Dragon Gate passage,” the resigned patriarch urged.

Feeling that it might be beneficial for the young man to venture out and broaden his horizons, he quickly decided to release his objections.

Seeing the patriarch’s relenting, Jiang Chen sighed in relief and said, “Thank you, ancestor.”

The patriarch pulled out a jade talisman and gave it to Jiang Chen, “You can use this to find Zi Xuan once the Dragon Gate appears.”

The jade talisman landed in Jiang Chen’s palm.

Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude again with another, “Thank you, ancestor.”

“Alright,” the patriarch impatiently waved his hand, “The journey from the Jiang Family to Tanggu in the Eastern Sea is formidable.

I’m going to save you some time and send you on your way.”

He then raised his sleeve, causing a gust of wind to blow against Jiang Chen.

Whoooosh~

Inside the gust, Jiang Chen found the space before his eyes distorted as though it was being strongly grasped.

Then, he felt the world spinning around him and subsequently lost consciousness.

When Jiang Chen regained his senses and opened his eyes, he found the surroundings immensely changed.

Before him was a boundless ocean, vast and endless.

Obviously, he had now arrived at the Eastern Sea.

“Hissss~”

“The patriarch’s strength is formidable!”

Aware that he was now in the Eastern Sea, Jiang Chen gasped in astonishment.

The Eastern Sea was miles away from the Jiang Family.

It was extraordinary how the patriarch had transported him across such a great distance with a simple wave of his hand.

The patriarch’s strength had far exceeded Jiang Chen’s imagination, easily comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The reason it was not rated higher was because Jiang Chen’s imagination was limited to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He couldn’t comprehend the vast power that a Quasi-Saint would possess.

…

…

…

The Eastern Sea was comparatively serene, having fewer disasters than the four great continents, for the Heavenly Earth Calamity seldom impacted this area.

Many benevolent beings from the four continents journeyed to the Eastern Sea for cultivation to avoid the calamity.

Eventually, this overseas land became a gathering spot for scattered immortals.

As the reputation of the Eastern Sea grew, even immortals unwilling to be restrained by Heaven Court came here.

Luckily, there were plenty of immortal islands in the Eastern Sea to accommodate all these immortals.

With many immortals, disputes were inevitable.

Consequently, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, the founding master of Immortal Dao, sent his disciple Nanji to the Eastern Sea to establish a Xianfu on Penglai Immortal Mountain to manage the immortals, ensuring they did not act recklessly.

(Whether the real purpose behind the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign sending his disciple to the Eastern Sea was to restrain the immortals or to guard against the Jiejiao Sect remained uncertain.)

Scattered immortals and the aquatic race

These were the two superpowers in the Eastern Sea.

The Eastern Sea, vast and home to innumerable creatures, naturally gave rise to many forces.

The Three Immortal Mountains, who managed the scattered immortals, and the Dragon Clan, who ruled the aquatic race, were the most dominant ones.

The Three Immortal Mountains held power over the forces on the sea, while the Dragon Clan controlled everything underwater.

There was a clear divide between them.
