Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 1462 - 975 Doomed Breakthrough

Jiang Chen did not explain anything but instructed the elder to wait and see.

Since he had reshaped the Boundless Starry Sky, Heaven and Earth had changed, the environment improved, and more and more resources were derived. As such, the number of powerful beings Between Heaven and Earth naturally continued to increase.

One thousand Innate Dao Sovereigns, indeed a large number, but after he annihilated ten thousand clans, unified the Chaos, and gathered all the resources of the world to cultivate the Human Race, one thousand Innate Dao Sovereigns no longer seemed excessive.

While the two were chatting, they had already arrived at the edge of Heaven and Earth. With one step, they entered the outer Chaos.

Chaos, boundless and without the concept of space-time, left them unaware of how long they drifted in the Chaos. Until at a certain moment, a dazzling light appeared in their eyes.

Splendid Heaven, they had arrived!

Splendid Heaven was a Great Thousand Worlds opened by Empress Nuwa when she became a Saint. Its landscapes splendid, creation endless, and after endless years of development, it had already reached the limit of the Great Thousand Worlds.

Had it not been for the Human Race, Splendid Heaven would have already advanced, stepped into the level of Universe World.

Unfortunately, to sustain the Human Race, Empress Nuwa almost drained the resources of Splendid Heaven, causing it to miss the opportunity for advancement.

It was often said that Empress Nuwa neglected the Human Race, but without Empress Nuwa, rising in the Distant Ancient Era and missing the prosperous period of Chaos, where would so many Innate Spiritual Treasures and resources come from for the Human Race?

To promote the development of the Human Race, apart from a few famous Innate Spiritual Treasures on Empress Nuwa, the rest of the treasures, especially those obtained at Treasury Rock, were all bestowed on the Human Race.

Not only that, almost all the fortunes and opportunities nurtured by Splendid Heaven were acquired by the Human Race. Where is the greatest secret realm of the Human Race? It is Splendid Heaven!

To achieve the realm of Innate Dao Monarch, one needs to collect the essence of the Five Elements, and refine the five qi within the chest. But where does the essence of the Five Elements come from? The essence of the Five Elements needed for the advancement of Human Race cultivators lies within Splendid Heaven.

That is the Innate Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, which transformed the Chaos Qi into the Essence of the Innate Five Elements. The treatment of a Saint’s disciple is nothing more than this.

If Jiang Chen hadn’t taken Upper Qing Saints as his master, his correct advancement route would have been to head to Splendid Heaven after achieving Golden Immortal, and there find enough Innate Five Elements essence to refine the qi in his chest.

The Human Race is too vast, not to mention one Splendid Heaven, even ten Splendid Heavens would not suffice to sustain them, and over time, the advancement of Splendid Heaven naturally became delayed.

When the six Saints achieved sainthood, they opened a total of five Great Thousand Worlds. Now Splendid Heaven, dragged down by the Human Race, has no hope of advancing.

Sanqing Heaven integrated into the Heavenly Realm, becoming the Three Heavens, likely also has no hope of advancing. Only the Pure Land, jointly opened by the two Western Saints, is developing the best.

The Buddhist door’s Horizontal Three Worlds Buddha and Vertical Three Worlds Buddha, together totaling five Tathagatas, each in charge of one top-tier Great Thousand World.

As per the normal progression, after the completion of West Journey and the significant rise of Buddhism, these five-direction Great Thousand Worlds could be integrated, elevating them to the Universe World.

Thus, with Buddhism possessing Universe World, it truly enters a period of great prosperity, and the grand ambitions previously mentioned by the two Western Saints are nearly entirely achieved. The rise of the West is merely a matter of time.

However, merging worlds is not a simple matter. Jiang Chen can open Universe World, not because he is extraordinary, but because the Boundless Starry Sky has a profound foundation.

Moreover, Jiang Chen is not opening Universe World, but repairing it—working within an existing framework, which is naturally much simpler.

"The five pure land worlds, this is the greatest foundation of the Buddhist door, yet none of these greatest foundations are under my control."

Between Heaven and Earth, apart from mortals, no one regards Jiang Chen as the master of the Buddhist door.

The reason lies here—the five-direction pure land Great Thousand Worlds, known as the foundation of Buddhism, none of which he controls. With this, what kind of master of the Buddhist door is he?

Currently, he is only nominally the master of the Buddhist door, having the title but no power. In the future, when he truly controls the five-direction pure land Great Thousand Worlds, he can truly be deemed worthy of the title.

"Five-direction pure land, the Buddhist catastrophe!"

Jiang Chen knows that his feud with the Buddhists of Spiritual Mountain isn’t resolved, and the five-direction pure lands are still under the control of the Buddhists from Spiritual Mountain. Thus, before West Journey arrives, a battle between them is inevitable.

And from this battle, Jiang Chen cannot retreat!

The five-direction pure land Great Thousand Worlds of Buddhism are extremely important to him, being a crucial part of his plan to reshape the Chaos World.

The Chaos World Jiang Chen wants to reshape is a complete Chaos World. Yet, how could a complete Chaos World exist with only the East and not the West?

To reshape a complete Chaos World, the barren West must be revitalized, and its fractured ancestral meridians, as well as the shattered Sumeru Mountain, must be reshaped.

And the five-direction pure land Great Thousand Worlds of Buddhism are key to re-forming the Western ancestral meridians. To rebuild the West, immense resources are inevitably needed.

And these resources, Jiang Chen cannot conjure out of thin air. Thus, he set his sights on the five-direction pure land Great Thousand Worlds of Buddhism. These five top-tier Great Thousand Worlds are ready-made resources.

To merge these five worlds and elevate them to Universe World, honestly, even if Jiang Chen is extremely knowledgeable in this area, he cannot guarantee a hundred percent success.

But sacrificing these five-direction worlds to repair the broken Western ancestral meridians—with Jiang Chen’s experience in rebuilding the Boundless Starry Sky, he has a one hundred percent assurance of success.
