Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1671 - 1085 The Future of Cang Mountain_2

After the Nine States transformed, Jiang Chen’s cultivation realm did not undergo any changes compared to before. However, his strength had improved significantly, soaring several levels at once.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that as long as he stood upon the Nine States Continent and beneath the Boundless Starry Sky, even a master of the Primordial Chaos 9th Level might not be his match.

This was the empowerment bestowed upon him by the Nine States and the Boundless Starry Sky—or to be more precise, by the Mini Primordial World.

The current Nine States is countless times more vast than before and is now connected to the Boundless Starry Sky. If not for some minor imperfections, it could have been called a youthful version of the Chaos World.

The empowerment provided by such a vast world to Jiang Chen is self-evident. Simply put, saying he can defeat experts of the Primordial Chaos 9th Level is already underestimating his capabilities.

If he can resolve those minor imperfections and truly make the Nine States worthy of the name Mini Primordial World, the empowerment he would receive would make him invincible within the Chaos Realm.

If the Chaos World is fully reconstructed, it would be even more astonishing. Jiang Chen’s strength would not merely break through to the Infinite Creation Realm but would ascend straight to the Hongmeng Chaos Realm, becoming a great existence comparable to a Chaos Demigod.

There are plenty of powerful beings within the Prehistoric World who wouldn’t want to see Jiang Chen succeed in reconstructing the Chaos World. It’s not impossible that they might harbor intentions of obstructing his path to enlightenment. No one would wish for the sudden emergence of a being comparable to a Chaos Demigod reigning above them.

As for the minor imperfections of the Nine States, they aren’t insurmountable issues—it’s the Netherworld.

Heaven, Earth, and Humanity must unify into a perfect trinity to form a complete Chaos World. However, the current Nine States, though fused with the Boundless Starry Sky, has not absorbed the Endless Abyss. Naturally, it cannot be considered flawless, leaving behind tiny imperfections.

This is also why, despite the empowerment of the Nine States’ Original Source, Jiang Chen’s strength can only reach the Primordial Chaos 9th Level and not the Primordial Chaos 12th Level.

Without the Netherworld, the Chaos remains incomplete.

Jiang Chen’s purpose for exiting seclusion this time was precisely to solve this problem. What calculations could matter when he can resolve the issue by merging the Netherworld into the Nine States, thus immediately elevating his power to the Primordial Chaos 12th Level?

At that point, within the vast Chaos World, aside from the Taoist Ancestors, who else could stand as his equal? Even the unified Sanqing may triumph over him, but can the current Sanqing still achieve unification?

Any intrigues and schemes, no matter how exquisite, are nothing but trivialities before absolute strength.

Jiang Chen is no longer the insignificant cultivator he once was. He has grown into one of the pinnacle existences of Heaven and Earth. Many of the strategies he once used are now obsolete for him.

Previously, due to the overwhelming strength of his opponents, he would rely primarily on calculations in battle, with direct strength taking the backseat.

But now, everything has reversed. He no longer needs to outthink his enemies; sheer power alone is enough to dominate all.

"Demon World, I’ll let you roam free for a few more days. After I resolve matters in the Nine States, I’ll settle accounts with you."

Although Jiang Chen already knew the location of the Demon World, he chose not to act against it immediately. Affairs must be prioritized, and clearly, the resolution of the Nine States’ imperfections is more important at the moment.

With strength, everything can be faced with ease.

Moreover, the Demon World and the Prehistoric World’s balance have endured for so many years. No one truly knows the specifics of its inner structure. To act rashly against it would entail significant risks.

It’s better to first ascertain the Demon World’s foundation before striking. After all, if—just if—the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou is secretly hiding in the Demon World, and Jiang Chen were to attack now, he might not come back unscathed.

Whoosh...

With a flicker, Jiang Chen’s figure vanished from Sumeru Mountain. When he reappeared, he was already on Cang Mountain.

Before addressing the imperfections of the Nine States, there was something else he needed to do—rebuild Cang Mountain!

Cang Mountain had been a Taoist Field personally established by Jiang Chen. It was precisely because of reconstructing Cang Mountain that the thought of reshaping the Chaos World first occurred to him. One could say this was the beginning of everything.

Now that the grand plan to reconstruct the Chaos World was on the agenda, it wouldn’t seem appropriate to leave Cang Mountain as it was.

As a Taoist Field carved out by Jiang Chen’s own hand, the current state of Cang Mountain was indeed substandard. It was time to let it once again display the grandeur of the Ancient Era.

Furthermore, the Shangqing Palace had already relocated. At present, Cang Mountain had become the territory of the Human Race, or more precisely, the Jiang Family’s headquarters.

With Jiang Chen now effectively the Human Emperor, it was inevitable for the Jiang Family to benefit and gain more advantages—that was unavoidable.

Thus, after Shangqing Palace moved away, Jiang Chen left Cang Mountain to the Jiang Family. No one would criticize him for this; instead, they’d praise him. This era’s prevailing mindset was that the success of one person elevates the entire clan.

If you can’t even take care of your closest family members, then why would anyone believe you’d support those less closely connected to you? Treating your own well assures outsiders that you’d treat them well too.

Leaving Cang Mountain to the Jiang Family was both a good thing and a complicated one. While Cang Mountain wasn’t bad, the issue lay in the fact that Kunlun Mountain was far superior. In comparison, Cang Mountain paled significantly.

With Shangqing Palace moving to Kunlun Mountain and the Jiang Family settling on Cang Mountain, it was inevitable that ill-intentioned people might exploit the situation and spread rumors claiming Jiang Chen had reserved the better land for his disciples and left the lesser land to his family.

Even if only to silence such gossip, Jiang Chen had to rebuild Cang Mountain.

The Ancient Cang Mountain may not have been as great as Kunlun Mountain, but it was still one of the ten greatest divine mountains of the Chaos World. Moreover, that was only the previous Cang Mountain; the potential of the current Cang Mountain might very well surpass Kunlun Mountain.

Jiang Chen has high hopes for Cang Mountain. In his subconscious, he even believes its future may exceed that of Kunlun Mountain. This is the main reason why he relocated the Jiang Family to Cang Mountain.

Jiang Chen was raised with traditional values and places great importance on familial bonds. His family members have cared for him deeply since childhood, making them much closer to him than his disciples, with whom he has less frequent interactions.

Under such circumstances, the things Jiang Chen leaves for his family are far from simple.

Let’s not forget that atop Cang Mountain floats the Ninefold Yun Xiao and an innate Thunderbolt Treasure Tree, one of the Chaos World’s finest innate Spirit Roots.

These two entities hold immense significance for the Heavenly Dao’s grand plan and the Chaos World’s future—they are the key to devouring Thunder Marsh.

If one day the Ninefold Yun Xiao and the Thunderbolt Treasure Tree manage to absorb Thunder Marsh and rectify the flaw that has persisted in the Chaos World since the dawn of Heaven and Earth, Cang Mountain is destined to undergo a transformation.

Once Thunder Marsh merges with Heaven and Earth, the never-before-seen Chaos Northern Region will emerge. With Cang Mountain connected to the Ninefold Yun Xiao, it will immediately transform into the ancestral vein of the Chaos Northern Region.

If Cang Mountain truly becomes the Northern Region Ancestral Vein, it will gain equal standing with Kunlun Mountain. Moreover, if the Human Race thrives, Cang Mountain surpassing Kunlun Mountain wouldn’t be impossible.

Securing the future ancestral vein of the Northern Region in advance—this was Jiang Chen’s ultimate gift to his kin.

...

"With the experience of reconstructing the Boundless Starry Sky and Sumeru Mountain, rebuilding Cang Mountain is no longer difficult for me. Not to say it’s effortlessly easy, but it won’t demand much effort either."

Standing at the peak of Cang Mountain, Jiang Chen’s tone was light-hearted. To him, rebuilding Cang Mountain was indeed no major challenge.

The Boundless Starry Sky and Sumeru Mountain were both superior to Cang Mountain. When his strength was far less than it is now, he still managed to rebuild the Boundless Starry Sky and Sumeru Mountain. Now that his power has grown, he naturally doesn’t concern himself too much with rebuilding Cang Mountain—it doesn’t even require anyone’s assistance; he can accomplish it on his own. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Prehistoric Heaven and Earth Creation Formation, refine for me!"

Atop Cang Mountain’s summit, Jiang Chen waved his large sleeve, unleashing one thousand two hundred and ninety-six Prehistoric Heaven and Earth Creation Banners, which surrounded the mountain completely, forming the Prehistoric Heaven and Earth Creation Formation.

This formation was an upgraded version of the Prehistoric Heaven and Earth Formation, its power equivalent to the Human Race’s clan-protecting Chaos River Luo Formation, ranking among the top ten formations of the Chaos World.

The formation’s capabilities not only allowed it to refine all things but also to create all things. Jiang Chen utilized its ability to refine all things to gather the shattered fragments of Cang Mountain. He used its ability to create all things to repair the broken mountain.

In a sense, this formation is the most compatible with Jiang Chen—it embodies both the destruction and creation of all things, perfectly aligning with the Tao of Destruction and Creation.
