Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 218 - 218 208 The Secret Hidden in the Water Curtain Cave

218: Chapter 208: The Secret Hidden in the Water Curtain Cave 218: Chapter 208: The Secret Hidden in the Water Curtain Cave Right now, isn’t this a perfect opportunity?

If these monkeys and the heavenly soldiers were to clash, break into a fight, and even result in casualties, it would be even better.

If the monkeys up in the Heaven Court heard about this, they would surely be stirred.

Maybe, they would completely sever ties with the Heaven Court or, at the very least, it would create a rift.

With that, the objectives of the two ghost kings would have been achieved.

Thinking this way, the Unicorn Ghost King naturally refused to retreat yet.

They opened their mouths, intending to say something.

However, just at that moment, Jiang Chen made his move.

His right hand reached out, he grasped the air, endless Yuan Qi surged and formed a giant hand of a hundred zhang, lunging towards the two Unicorn Ghost Kings.

Daoist Divine Ability — Innate Essence Snatching Masterhand!

“Not good!”

Seeing the approaching Yuan Qi, although the two ghosts weren’t sure where they had exposed themselves, they knew that, if they didn’t dodge, this attack could be deadly.

Their minds raced, and the two Ghost Kings had no choice but to resort to their true abilities.

The moment the giant hand formed from Yuan Qi was about to grab, they split left and right, escaping towards the distance.

“It’s a Rakshasa Ghost!”

“So, it really is someone from the Buddhist door!”

From the divine abilities exhibited by the two ghosts, Jiang Chen identified their origin.

They were indeed two Rakshasa Ghosts, one of the guardians from the Buddhist door.

The Buddhist door sent two Rakshasa Ghosts to Sun Wukong’s side, clearly, it wasn’t to guide him towards the righteous path.

Their objective was obvious.

They were to tempt him into continuously causing trouble, to destroy the fate resting on Sun Wukong.

When he had nowhere left to run, naturally he would have to seek shelter from the Buddhist door, proceeding along the path outlined for him by the Buddhist door.

The strategy was good, but it was not something a Buddhist should do; it seemed more like something a Devil would do.

There was nothing wrong with the West Journey in itself, but when someone used the wrong methods, it turned erroneous.

There were many ways to persuade Sun Wukong to complete his journey.

There was no need for such hidden and malicious methods.

Such evil actions were not characteristic of Buddhists.

However, the truth is the truth.

At present, Jiang Chen lacked the power and the authority, hence he could not change anything.

The only thing he could do now was to diligently collect evidence, and when he has enough strength, personally head to Spiritual Mountain, using the evidence he collected to bring down the manipulators from behind the scenes.

Treading on their fallen bodies, step by step, becoming the supreme ruler of the Buddhist door, he would personally change the already rotten Buddhist door.”

Since he had such a plan, Jiang Chen even less likely to let these two ghost kings go.

With a flicker of thought, the Daoist’s unique technique once again appeared in Jiang Chen’s hands, he unfolded his palms, absorbed Qi into the mysterious, a good and gentle Dao Rhyme emanated from him.

In the distance, the giant hand formed from Yuan Qi suddenly exploded, forming numerous water currents, sweeping towards the two Unicorn Ghost Kings, wrapping them up and heading towards Jiang Chen.

Within the water currents, the two ghost kings felt as if they were in a mud pit.

No matter how they struggled, they couldn’t break free at all, they could only watch as they were being drawn closer to Jiang Chen.’

The people of the Buddhist door, who wouldn’t recognise Jiang Chen.

Therefore, the two ghosts knew that they must never fall into Jiang Chen’s hands, otherwise, the consequences were unpredictable.

With gritted teeth, the two ghosts were about to end their own lives, but Jiang Chen who seemed to have seen through their plans, casually threw out a Law seal.

The surrounding water current suddenly changed into a whirlpool, and started spinning violently.

Within the whirlpool, the Unicorn Ghost King quickly became dizzy, they lost their sense of direction, their consciousness also started to blur.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Chen caught the two ghosts in front of him in an instant, his divine consciousness surged out, and he forcefully rummaged through their memories.

As expected, he didn’t find anything.

These two ghosts had come under the order of the King Rakshasa.

As for who ordered the King Rakshasa, that was unknown.

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, following the contact in his heart, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

Using the power of the Sun Staff, he forcefully tore open the void and threw the two ghosts into Buddha Hell.

With these two ghosts present, once Jiang Chen successfully cultivates the Dao, the King Rakshasa will be in trouble!

…

…….

Having casually suppressed the two ghosts, Jiang Chen then turned around to speak to the old monkey, “Did you see that?

These are the subordinates you deemed loyal and devoted.”

Upon hearing this, the old monkey was naturally extremely embarrassed.

The abilities that the two ghosts had just displayed were equivalent to the peak of the Golden Immortal, which was far stronger than the Heavenly Immortal realm they usually exhibited.

They were many times more powerful.

Just this alone was enough to show their malicious intentions, not to mention, the stirring words of the two ghosts.

“Go back and do a thorough investigation of Huaguo Mountain.

Don’t be fooled without knowing it.” With a cold command, Jiang Chen turned and headed in another direction.

At this time, all the demon kings in the net were killed, their corpses piled up together.

Blood flowed like a waterfall, staining the water beneath it red, attracting countless fish and shrimp to scramble for it.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown.

What was wrong with his men?

They didn’t resemble him at all and didn’t know the value of conserving resources.

The blood of these demon kings, who had cultivation levels of the Xuan Immortal and Golden Immortal, was not too different from ordinary fairy stones, how could they be wasted like this?

However, while he felt pained inside, Jiang Chen couldn’t display his affliction in front of everyone.

He wore a cold expression and ordered:

“Cut off all their heads and hang them on flagpoles, before planting them in a conspicuous place for the other Demon Kings to see.”

After giving these commands, Jiang Chen walked stonily into Huaguo Mountain.

He couldn’t bear to watch his people rabble around anymore, it was too heartrending.

It’s best not to see.

The reason to publicly display the Demon Kings’ heads is to glorify their military power.

To display our army’s bravery with the skulls of the Demon Kings.

Additionally, it serves as a deterrent.

Even instigating the remaining demons to act on their hatred.

Instead of seeking out each individual Demon King, it would be preferable to provoke them into attacking first.

If they initiate the attack, there would be no need to discern the good from the bad.

The ones who attack certainly are the bad ones.

It sure saves effort this way.

Furthermore, it also establishes Sun Wukong’s stance.

When seventy-two demon Kings’ heads hang from Huaguo Mountain while nothing happens to the monkeys residing there, this surely would leave Sun Wukong tongue-tied.

…

Leaving aside the hustle and bustle, Jiang Chen, while strolling around, had planned to take in the sights of Huaguo Mountain before continuing his quest to defeat other Demon Kings.

Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, his Sea of Consciousness shivered gently as if it detected a treasure.

This sudden change intrigued Jiang Chen.

It wasn’t his first time in Huaguo Mountain.

During his previous visit, there were no reactions from his Sea of Consciousness, but this time it responded immediately after his arrival.

This made him curious.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen thought he might know the reason.

During his last visit to Huaguo Mountain, his Sea of Consciousness wasn’t nearly as powerful as it is now, that’s why it probably didn’t detect the deeply hidden treasure.

However, now it had transformed a few times and its power exceeded his previous experience.

So, after arriving in Huaguo Mountain once again, it finally sensed the concealed treasure.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen was no longer hesitant, and immediately followed the guidance of his Sea of Consciousness towards the place where the hidden treasure lay.

Anyone would know, that this treasure must be invaluable, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to escape his Sea of Consciousness.

After a few steps, Jiang Chen reached a waterfall.

The entrance to the Water Curtain Cave!

On seeing this familiar place, Jiang Chen knew that his chance was inside the Water-Curtain Cave.

He didn’t hesitate, crossed the waterfall, walked over the iron chain bridge, entered the cave, and proceeded towards the depths.

Because he had used a divine ability to conceal his figure in advance, Jiang Chen walked along the path unimpeded, even the monkeys around him were unaware of his presence, hence nobody saw his track.

At the heart of Huaguo Mountain, there was a giant wall, signifying the end of the path.

But upon reaching here, Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness started to shake even more violently, releasing a brilliant Dao light, almost ready to break out from his consciousness.

Jiang Chen made a hand seal and using the Five Elements Movement Technique, he delved into the stone wall and continued forward.

After walking another two to three miles, a bright light suddenly appeared in front, interwoven with Xianqi, radiating countless Xian Dao runes, which blocked Jiang Chen’s way forward.

“The ancient Immortal Person?

Or even the more ancient, Great Ancient Immortal Person?”

On the light curtain above, Jiang Chen felt an extremely ancient and authentic Xian Dao spirit.

The presence was even more pure and ancient compared to the Fairy Qi of Nanji.

It emits an aura of nobility and incisiveness.

This presence definitely surpassed the Ancient Times, either from the Far Ancient or even the more ancient, Great Ancient Era.

Jiang Chen’s heart raced.

He sent out his divine knowledge towards the light curtain.

In an instant, numerous Xian Dao runes surfaced, filling the void, exuding a dazzling immortal glow, brilliantly bright.

Yet there was no threat, though it released a gentle force blocking anyone from getting near it.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and continued to release his spiritual consciousness, trying treat the light curtain like a sword, cautiously poking it, but this time, his power was several times stronger than before.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The light curtain attacked back, its glow became more brilliant, making it difficult for Jiang Chen to open his eyes, however, it still possessed no destructive power.

Taking out Daoism’s Test and carefully guarding himself, Jiang Chen continued to increase his spiritual consciousness to explore the light curtain.

At this moment, as Jiang Chen’s spiritual consciousness continued to strengthen, the light curtain finally reacted.

An enormous energy rose from the light curtain, resonating vaguely with the heaven and earth and the ten thousand paths.

At this moment, the void was trembling as if surrendering.

The momentum was so vast, so distant, so elusive, as expansive and profound as the Cangtian itself.

The aura’s presence brought burst forth feelings similar to standing opposite the Haotian, overwhelmingly powerful, beyond comprehension.

In a moment, Jiang Chen realised, the one who left this light curtain must have been an exceptional person in the Immortal Dao, a peak Great Divine Transcendent of Prehistoric World, whose strength was not less than the Haotian.

Perhaps they were even a perfect Quasi-Saint.

Buzz buzz buzz!

When the light curtain was at its most brilliant, strands of cyan Immortal light manifested.

Mysterious and noble, they emitted a lofty aura as high as the heavens.
