Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1651 - 1075 draw cake_2

Looking at it now, the problem is not significant, but once Sumeru Mountain is reconstructed, the power of this mark will surely strengthen. At that time, anyone who sets foot on Sumeru Mountain will have their evil thoughts magnified, showing signs of possession.

Over time, this sacred mountain of Sumeru Mountain will likely turn into a den of demons.

In the Prehistoric World, only the Buddhist door and the Mystic Sect can suppress the Demon Sect.

However, the Demon Sect and the Buddhist door share the same origin. Rather than saying they suppress each other, it would be more accurate to say they influence each other. If the Buddha is strong, then demons will be converted to Buddhism. If demons are strong, Buddhas can transform into demons.

To let the Buddhist door suppress the Demon Ancestor’s mark is inherently a risky venture. If successful, transforming the demon mark into a Buddha mark would increase the strength of the Buddhist door. If unsuccessful, and influenced by the demon mark, the entire Buddhist door risks falling into demonhood.

Therefore, allowing the Immortal Dao to suppress the Demonic Way is the best option.

The two paths are adversarial; one absorbs spiritual energy, and the other absorbs Sha Qi. When they meet, the situation becomes one of life or death, with only one force remaining.

If a Mystic Sect expert resides at Sumeru Mountain, they can surely suppress the demon mark thoroughly and gradually refine it, returning Sumeru Mountain to its original state.

...

Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen directly spoke out, saying:

"Everyone, I have already discovered the origin of this Demon Ancestor mark. It was left when the Demon Ancestor forged the Four Swords of Extermination and is a part of Sumeru Mountain. This mark cannot be destroyed; it can only be assimilated by Buddha power, or refined by celestial power."

Upon hearing this, everyone was suddenly enlightened: "So that’s why the mark was hidden so deeply. If we hadn’t joined forces, we wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual."

Since it’s a part of Sumeru Mountain, this demon mark cannot be destroyed, but it also cannot be left alone, thus complicating the matter.

However, upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, it wasn’t difficult to guess he already had a solution in mind, so they directly asked: "Listening to the Star Lord, could it be that you have a solution?"

"Indeed!" Jiang Chen nodded, sharing his thoughts: "Reconstructing Sumeru Mountain is not a simple task, and relying solely on us may not suffice."

"So, in my opinion, we should reach out to more fellow cultivators, and together, we can proceed with the reconstruction of Sumeru Mountain."

"Once Sumeru Mountain is rebuilt, those who contributed can establish Taoist fields on it as their place of existence."

"Sumeru Mountain speaks for itself as the third sacred mountain in the Prehistoric World, held in the same regard as Kunlun Mountain. Establishing Taoist fields here would not demean you, my fellow cultivators."

"As for that demon mark, as long as there are enough fellow cultivators establishing Taoist fields on Sumeru Mountain, it poses no threat."

"With our Mystic Sect’s fate, unless the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou himself reappears, no one from the Demon Sect could easily suppress us."

"Such a minor demon mark wouldn’t require us to take action. Just living here for a million years would naturally see it refined."

Jiang Chen’s approach is straightforward: transform Sumeru Mountain into another stronghold for the Mystic Sect, making it a presence comparable to Kunlun Mountain. This way, any demonic presence could be easily eradicated.

"However, this, while the best option, does have a drawback, which is offending the two Western Sages."

After explaining his plan, Jiang Chen added this last part. Although everyone knew this without him saying it, it was still necessary for him to mention it.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the group did not immediately respond, instead falling into a contemplative silence, weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, an exalted sage finally broke the silence, speaking excitedly: "The Star Lord’s proposal is brilliant!"

"The Prehistoric World has shattered several times, and places of creation are becoming fewer, yet the Great Divine Transcendents are increasing, leading to a deficiency in creation places long before."

"Why do Great Divine Transcendents often leave the Prehistoric World for Chaos? Is it truly because they wish to? No, it’s because there’s no place for them between Heaven and Earth, forcing them into Chaos."

"Now, the Star Lord’s proposal just solves this issue nicely."

"Sumeru Mountain, as a Holy Land on par with Kunlun Mountain, is rich in creation materials and teeming with Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands. Even if a hundred Great Divine Transcendents reside there at once, it won’t be overly burdensome."

"Inviting these fellow cultivators to join the reconstruction of Sumeru Mountain not only provides them with a place to establish themselves but also bolsters our strength. Why not?"

"As for whether this offends the two Western Sages, in my view, it’s not a big deal. The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign is so domineering, yet he doesn’t monopolize Kunlun Mountain. When fellow cultivators seek refuge at Kunlun, he even comes out to welcome them."

"The two Western Sages could hardly be more domineering than the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. If we establish our foundation at Sumeru Mountain, they have no standing to stop us."

"Moreover, this Sumeru Mountain is rebuilt by us. What’s it got to do with them? If the two Western Sages really want to act to drive us out, who knows who will be evicting whom?"

As soon as this sage finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement.

"Exactly, exactly, what right do the two Western Sages have to monopolize the third sacred mountain in the world?"

"How we handle the Sumeru Mountain we repaired is naturally for us to discuss, not for the two Western Sages to meddle in."

"Now the Sumeru Mountain is in our hands. If they’re unsatisfied, let them try and see if they can take back Sumeru Mountain from us."

This group of Great Divine Transcendents showed consistent support, wholeheartedly agreeing with Jiang Chen’s proposal, willing even to offend the two Western Sages for it.

The reason is simple: they could tolerate the two Western Sages controlling a broken Sumeru Mountain, but they can’t accept a complete Sumeru Mountain falling into their hands. Especially considering that they were the ones who repaired the complete Sumeru Mountain.

It’s unimaginable that they would pay such a huge price only to benefit the two Western Sages.

"Since all fellow cultivators agree, let’s get moving, trying to invite more Great Divine Transcendents into the effort."

"Don’t worry about too many participants. If Sumeru Mountain isn’t enough, isn’t there still the West? When the Chaos World is restored successfully, the West will also be revitalized. This vast piece of undeveloped treasure land can’t all be left to the two Western Sages, right?"

"We must certainly take our share first, and then the rest shall belong to the two Western Sages."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

What the two Western Sages could think of, he naturally could too. Wanting to gain the most without contributing, how can that be?

If the West doesn’t revive, it remains theirs. But once the West revives, how can the East remain indifferent to such great interests?

By then, if the Eastern powerhouses don’t sideline them, consider that fortunate. To still dream of being the masters of the West is simply impossible.

And now, Jiang Chen involves the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents in the reconstruction of Sumeru Mountain partly as a promise, also to win them over. On the other hand, it gives them a reason to intervene in the West.

Once the West is revived, they have played a role, giving them a reason to stake a claim in the West. Even if the two Western Sages are displeased, they have no choice but to accept.

"Star Lord, rest assured, we’ll have the task completed within a few months at the latest."

After briefly speaking with Jiang Chen, they dispersed throughout the Prehistoric World, seeking those Great Divine Transcendents who had no place to establish themselves.

"Your wisdom, dear Taoist friend, is truly admirable."

After everyone had left, Queen Mother could not help but exclaim. This time, Jiang Chen’s calculations had truly astonished her.

The revival of the West is practically a shadowy matter, yet Jiang Chen used it as a promise. This is practically issuing an empty check.

The key point is, once everyone receives this empty check, they must wholeheartedly assist Jiang Chen in completing the plan to reconstruct the Chaos World. Otherwise, this check cannot be cashed.

To secure these benefits, even if they don’t want to exert effort, they must work hard.

"Interests motivate people’s hearts!"

Jiang Chen didn’t offer an explanation, only sighed, and then headed towards Sumeru Mountain.

His target was the demon ancestor mark.

To others, this mark was a harm, but to him, it was a benefit.
