Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 39 Heading to Huaguo Mountain

39: Chapter 39: Heading to Huaguo Mountain

39 -39: Heading to Huaguo Mountain

Unfortunately, the suspense was left unresolved as the image on the Dao tablet abruptly ended just as the Innate Divine Demon was about to reveal his name.

Hence, Jiang Chen missed out on finding out his name.

Such a pity.

If he had known the name, he could have looked for clues through the creature’s past deeds.

The Innate Divine Demon that could fight Di Jun Taiyi is terrifying enough.

Undoubtedly, he is an immensely influential figure.

Even the smallest relic from such a character could benefit Jiang Chen greatly.

What a letdown, Dao tablet!

…

With one last look into the depths of the valley, Jiang Chen turned and left the area.

During this encounter, he made up his mind – once he acquires enough power, he would definitely return to this place and take the Innate Fusang Wood.

Additionally, he was also curious about the object sealed by Di Jun Taiyi.

The seal was developed using a top-quality Innate Spiritual Treasure; surely, the object it protected would be extraordinarily significant.

…

……

Whoosh——

Transforming himself into a glimmering ray of light, Jiang Chen swiftly navigated through the sea of flames.

With his current level of ability, using the Crossing Earth Golden Light rendered a significant increase in speed, allowing him to travel hundreds of miles in an instant.

In no time, Jiang Chen travelled several hundred miles away from the valley, rapidly propelling towards the outside world.

However, there was an object faster than Jiang Chen.

As Jiang Chen left, the Innate Fusang Wood appeared to react by spontaneously cutting off a branch and sending it towards him.

The branch seemingly disappeared into thin air after it separated from the Innate Fusang Wood.

When it re-emerged, it was already in front of Jiang Chen.

The two were on entirely different levels.

Jiang Chen was still focused on increasing his speed, whereas the Innate Fusang Wood was capable of manipulating space.

This signified a tremendous gap between their capabilities.

“A gift for the Sun God’s staff?”

Observing the sudden appearance of the Fusang branch, Jiang Chen seemed to have understood something.

This was a gift the Innate Fusang Wood gave to the Sun God’s staff because while the tree could not leave the depths of the valley, its branches could.

Hence, the Innate Fusang Wood gifted a branch to the Sun God’s staff to augment its Original Source.

“After consuming this Fusang branch, the potential of the Sun God’s staff is undoubtedly going to increase significantly,” thought Jiang Chen, handing over the branch to the Sun God’s staff.

The current Sun God’s staff was the top Late Heavenly treasure, but its rank when it eventually ascends to an Innate Spiritual Treasure could vary; it might turn out to be of low quality or average quality.

This was something beyond Jiang Chen’s control.

However, it was clear that the stronger the Original Source accumulation of the Sun God’s staff at present, the higher its grade as an Innate Spiritual Treasure would be in the future.

Currently, apart from increasing his cultivation, the most crucial task for Jiang Chen was to find enough Innate treasures for the Sun God’s staff to enhance its Original Source.

Only then, after the staff completes its metamorphosis, he would be able to obtain a potent Innate Spiritual Treasure.

…

After spending several days, Jiang Chen finally left the valley.

Calculating his time, he realized that he had spent over a decade in the valley.

This meant that it would be another decade till the Dragon Gate would open.

A decade!!!

Isn’t that plenty of time?

Thinking so, Jiang Chen wasn’t in a hurry to rush to the mouth of the Yellow River.

Instead, he decided to explore the Eastern Sea.

He had come to the Eastern Sea; how could he not visit Huaguo Mountain?

Bear in mind, Huaguo Mountain was situated in the Eastern Sea!

Huaguo Mountain, the beginning of the Journey to the West.

Since he had arrived in the world of Journey to the West, Jiang Chen had to take a look.

Speaking of where Huaguo Mountain would be?

He was not certain, but that would not deter him.

It was stated in the Journey to the West that Huaguo Mountain was located near Aolai Nation.

Therefore, once he found Aolai Nation, Huaguo Mountain would not be too far.

If Huaguo Mountain was hard to locate, would Aolai Nation, a country situated in the Eastern Sea, be any better?

The target was a country, not an individual.

The search shouldn’t be difficult, should it?

Jiang Chen quickly sensed the most prosperous direction and began his journey to that place.

He planned to ask around for directions there.

Asking for directions is an age-old but a most effective method.

…

This time while travelling, instead of using the Crossing Earth Golden Light, he chose the Digging Sea Shrinking Earth Divine Ability.

This skill allowed him to deftly navigate the depths of the sea and reduced thousands of miles to mere inches, enabling him to reach anywhere within moments.

This was the law of shrinking the earth down to inches, and also the law to enter the water.

Being in the Eastern Sea, it is only natural to learn some techniques that would allow him to move freely underwater.

Otherwise, he would be at the mercy of others if he fell into the ocean, wouldn’t he?

With the Law of Digging Sea Shrinking Earth activated, every hundred miles below Jiang Chen’s feet were immediately reduced to inches, allowing him to easily cross the distance.

At this speed,

he was almost as fast as the Crossing Earth Golden Light.

And so, Jiang Chen covered hundreds of miles with each step, pressing forward.

…

Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was still travelling.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

On the surface of the sea, glimpses of Jiang Chen rapidly darting around could be seen.

The Eastern Sea was indeed vast.

Jiang Chen had been travelling for a month and yet, he hadn’t even seen a single sentient being, let alone ask for directions.

“Damn!”

At this point, even the patient Jiang Chen was getting annoyed.

He vowed that if he didn’t come across anyone within the next three days, he would give up on Huaguo Mountain and head straight to the mouth of the Yellow River.

Perhaps in response to Jiang Chen’s plea, he met several individuals the very next day.

However, their encounter wasn’t exactly pleasant.

One day, as Jiang Chen was racing over the sea, he felt a tinge of alarm in his heart.

Without hesitation, he sent the Divine Sun Fire beneath him.

“Roar!”

Simultaneously, a monstrous head leapt out of the sea with a gaping mouth, lunging for Jiang Chen.

This Flood Dragon was intending to ambush Jiang Chen and have him as a meal.

However, it had clearly chosen the wrong target.

Boom～～

The Divine Sun Fire collided mercilessly with the Flood Dragon, bursting into millions of sparks that rained down on the Flood Dragon, consuming its flesh in an intense firestorm.

When the fire broke out on its body, the Flood Dragon’s instinctive response was to dive back into the sea in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

However, the Divine Sun Fire was among the Innate Divine Fires, so how could an ordinary water source extinguish it?

No matter how much the dragon struggled underwater, it couldn’t put out the flames on its body.

Seeing that the method was futile, the Flood Dragon rapidly spat out its Dragon Pearl to use its water-attributed spiritual energy, accumulated over many years of cultivation, to put out the Divine Sun Fire.
