Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1670 - 1085 The Future of Cang Mountain

Thinking about Jiang Chen’s peculiar traits, King Wu’s master seemed to lose his confidence, and decided to assign additional support for King Wu.

"The Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent!"

"Master is truly formidable, even managing to recruit this group of elites."

King Wu praised sincerely. He could still understand how all races bowed to his master, but the fact that the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent would ally with their faction rendered him utterly perplexed.

The two sides had always kept to themselves, neither meddling with one another. Not only was forming an alliance unthinkable, even encounters between them were scarce. For both sides to forge such a partnership under these circumstances, King Wu couldn’t help but deeply admire his master’s craftiness.

It must be understood that the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent, in terms of power, surpassed their faction. If they weren’t immensely powerful, how would they dare transform the Prehistoric World into the Immortal World and reshape it according to their whims?

King Wu knew full well that his faction’s ultimate goal was no more than to dominate Heaven and Earth, reign over all races, reconstruct the Heaven Court, and break the old order to establish a new one for the Prehistoric World.

But the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent, on the other hand, sought something far more radical — overthrowing all, burying what already exists, and opening up an entirely fresh future.

Even in their aspirations, the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent stood a step ahead of them.

"You’re overthinking it. It’s not that your master is so talented, but rather Jiang Chen’s exceptional skill at stirring trouble. Jiang Chen offended them gravely, leaving them no choice but to ally with us."

"I’ve said it before. Jiang Chen is famed for achieving great things at a young age, yet his behavior is exceedingly arrogant, offending countless peers. People turned a blind eye before, but now that he’s touched their interests, no one can tolerate him any longer."

King Wu’s master spoke candidly, refusing to take undue credit for himself.

"Ah, this... "

King Wu was taken aback. He never anticipated Jiang Chen to be so formidable, even forcing the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent to actively seek an alliance with them.

At the same time, King Wu once again grasped the immense gap between himself and Jiang Chen—an insurmountable disparity between their levels.

If he had offended the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent—or worse, even if his master had angered them—survival itself would have been uncertain, let alone compelling them to join forces with outsiders.

"You can leave now. Jiang Chen may be too reckless, but his glory won’t last long. You must understand, the Prehistoric World is vast, and beyond the heavens lies greater power. Even if his combat strength rivals that of a Saint, so what? It’s not as though the Prehistoric World lacks those capable of subduing him."

King Wu’s master seemed to hint at something as he spoke cryptically to King Wu.

Jiang Chen had enemies!

King Wu discerned his master’s veiled message, his mind shaken, and promptly bade his master farewell, "Master, your disciple will take leave now."

He needed to hurry back to deliver the good news to his subordinates, lest morale truly disperse.

"Reviving Donghuang Taiyi—how insane of them to even consider this. It’s like driving away a starving wolf, only to attract a fierce tiger." fгeewebnovёl.com

After King Wu departed, his master, seated on the towering dragon throne, suddenly had his expression turn exceedingly grim.

It was true that he detested Jiang Chen, but he disliked Donghuang Taiyi even more. His goal was to ascend as the Tiandi of the new era and reconstruct order.

So while Jiang Chen was indeed his rival, Donghuang Taiyi was just as much—if not an even greater—adversary. The threat posed by Donghuang Taiyi far eclipsed that of Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen sought to become Tiandi, the number of Great Divine Transcendents backing him would likely be few. But if Donghuang Taiyi declared his ambition to become Tiandi, the overwhelming majority of Great Divine Transcendents in the Prehistoric World would undoubtedly rally behind him.

King Wu’s master was confident in surpassing Jiang Chen, yet lacked certainty in overcoming Donghuang Taiyi. In terms of reputation, he fell far short of Donghuang Taiyi, the disparity between them insurmountable.

"I hope that Jiang Chen and Taiyi end up destroying each other. That would conveniently spare me all the trouble."

King Wu’s master thought hopefully to himself. In his projected vision of the future, Jiang Chen and Donghuang Taiyi annihilating one another was undeniably the best possible outcome.

At present, all he could do was cling to this hope, for neither defeating Jiang Chen nor thwarting the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent from resurrecting Donghuang Taiyi was within his capabilities. These matters were utterly beyond his reach.

...

"Who is targeting me?"

"Why have I been feeling so uneasy recently?"

On Sumeru Mountain, having finally pinpointed the location of the Demon World, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows, pondering deeply.

For some inexplicable reason, he had been feeling unsettled of late—a surge of malicious intent sweeping over him, leaving him uneasy. Yet no matter how he toiled at calculations, he could arrive at no definitive conclusion.

"It must be someone targeting me, and it must be a supremely powerful figure, with cultivation at least at the Primordial Chaos 5th Level or above. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to deduce anything."

"A Saint? Or a Chaos Demigod?"

Reluctantly halting his deductions, Jiang Chen speculated in silence.

There were only so few matters between Heaven and Earth that he couldn’t unravel, and they all involved entities at the Primordial Chaos Stage. Using process elimination alone, he could identify a general scope.

In the Prehistoric World, individuals possessed of cultivation beyond the Primordial Chaos 5th Level were limited to Saints and Chaos Demigods. And conveniently enough, Jiang Chen had already offended both parties.

"It’s useless to dwell too deeply on this now—just a matter of countering whatever comes, as the tide responds to the shore."

"It’s better to focus on enhancing my strength. As long as I am strong enough, no one will be able to scheme against me."

Jiang Chen only agonized over it momentarily before dismissing the concern entirely. Worrying over something he couldn’t solve—even if he were to find answers—would do him no good. On the other hand, advancing his cultivation could allow him to become impervious to any machinations.
