Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 221 - 221 211 Conversation Across Time and Space

221: Chapter 211: Conversation Across Time and Space 221: Chapter 211: Conversation Across Time and Space In the core, there were five fragments of the Pangu Axe.

The inner layer, set up on the basis of the Innate Four Spirit Beads, was an Innate Fours Spirits Formation.

The outer layer, where the power of the Innate Four Spirits converged, exuded the mysteries of the universe.

After everything was arranged, the Upper Qing Saint made a hand seal, gathering all the innate energy around him into the White Jade Pool.

Boom!

At this moment, the Innate Four Spirits Formation activated, the Four Spirit Beads shone brilliantly, releasing powerful energy that resonated with the powers of the Innate Four Elements around them, recreating Heaven and Earth.

As the energy of the Four Elements surged, an amazing transformation occurred.

The void shattered, turning into chaos at first.

Then, the power of the four elements, earth, fire, water, and wind, emerged, restructured Heaven and Earth, and a new world was slowly born.

When the world was born, mysterious energy of creation was constantly infused into the fragments of the Pangu Axe, causing them to transform.

At the same time, a strand of original source of the Immortal Slaying Sword array, which merged into the fragments of Pangu’s Axe, was shaking.

It resonated together, amazingly creating the Immortal Slaying Sword array, forcefully fusing the five Pangu Axe fragments into one, and slowly transforming it into the shape of a sword embryo.

As the Innate Four Spirits Formation operated, worlds came into being and ceased repeatedly, generating Innate Creative Energy, and refining the fragments of the Pangu Axe.

Meanwhile, the spiritual energy on Huaguo Mountain started to decrease and gathered here, serving as the fuel for the growth of the fragments of the Pangu Axe.

…

…

In the scene, looking at the continuously strengthening fragments of the Pangu Axe, the Upper Qing Saint nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he sat down in meditation on one side.

He waited for another ten thousand years until he was sure that there was no problem with his arrangement, then the Upper Qing Saint took his leave from this place.

Just as the Upper Qing Saint was about to leave, an unexpected change occurred.

He suddenly turned his head towards Jiang Chen’s direction, revealing a puzzled expression as if he had discovered something.

Then, the Upper Qing Saint smiled, and his lips moved slightly.

His vague Dao Sound managed to cross countless epochs and clearly reached Jiang Chen’s ears.

“Interesting.”

“Really interesting.”

“A person from a later era who came here by chance, able to meet me.

This karma, which spans across countless epochs, is truly wonderful.”

When he reached this point, the Upper Qing Saint suddenly burst into laughter, and astonishingly said, “Ha-ha, since you and I have such a connection, I’ll accept you as my disciple.

“If one day you can achieve the realm of Tao Sovereign, you can come to Kunlun Mountain to see me.

Then, you will be the fifth direct disciple under me.”

Jiang Chen had not paid much attention to the words of the Upper Qing Saint, because at the moment, his mind was completely filled with shock.

He saw me!

He actually saw me!

That was Jiang Chen’s only thought at this moment.

The Upper Qing Saint at the moment was just a scene from the past.

Yet, he still managed to see Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was in the modern era, while the Upper Qing Saint was in the ancient past of countless epochs ago.

Between them, they were separated by not only the Primordial, Ancient, and Classic eras, but also countless epochs!

What kind of powerful force could cross such a long period of time, discover his existence and speak to him?

This sort of power was far beyond Jiang Chen’s imagination, the strength of the Upper Qing Saint was truly incredible.

Moreover, the Upper Qing Saint at this moment had not even been sainted yet, but could already see through billions of years.

If he was so powerful before being sainted, how powerful would he be after achieving sainthood?

What kind of power would he possess?

Unimaginable!

After a long period of shock, Jiang Chen finally came back to his senses.

At this moment, the words of the Upper Qing Saint surged in his mind.

What?

The Upper Qing Saint wants to take me as his disciple?

And promises that after I become a Tao Sovereign, I can go to Kunlun Mountain to find him and become his fifth direct disciple?

If it were in the ancient chaotic era, Jiang Chen would have been delighted to hear the Upper Qing Saint’s words.

But now, while he was shocked and surprised, he was barely excited.

Because, he was afraid that the Upper Qing Saint at the moment did not know that his current situation was not very good.

Not only his Tao family had been destroyed, but he himself had also been punished by Honjan Daizu and trapped in the Chaos outside of the world, unable to interfere with the events of the Three Realms.

As for going to Kunlun Mountain, the Sanqing had already parted ways.

The Upper Qing Saint had even moved out of Kunlun Mountain and settled in Golden Turtle Island in the Eastern Sea.

If Jiang Chen went to Kunlun Mountain to find the Upper Qing Saint to be his disciple after he achieved the status of Tao Sovereign, he would probably end up fighting with the disciples of Chan Teaching there.

While Jiang Chen was thinking, the Upper Qing Saint continued to speak in the scene, “Since I want to take you as my disciple, I’ll give you a treasure.”

While speaking, the Upper Qing Saint turned his hand over and took out a Dao Talisman surrounded by green light.

It was the Primordial Chaos Upper Qing Divine Talisman.

Legend has it that at the beginning of heaven and earth, a Primordial Chaos Qi condensed and did not disperse, transforming into a Dao symbol, which was precisely the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Primordial Chaos Divine Symbol.

By coincidence, at the moment of this symbol’s birth, three Pangu primordial spirits wrapped in inherent pure Qi surged forward, directly striking on the body of the Primordial Chaos Divine Symbol, dividing it into three parts, and transported them to Kunlun Mountain.

The fragments of the Primordial Chaos Divine Symbol, in becoming entwined with the Qi of the three Pure Entities, gradually evolved into three top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, namely the Taiqing Divine Symbol of Primordial Oneness, the Yuqing Divine Symbol of Primordial Oneness, and the Shangqing Divine Symbol of Primordial Oneness.

Removing the Shangqing Divine Symbol, the Shangqing Taoist sealed it aside and continued speaking, “I will leave this treasure here, and you may collect it later.”

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the Shangqing Taoist left the magic treasures here instead of giving them directly to him.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen would have been genuinely shocked.

Conversing across spacetime is entirely different from sending items across spacetime.

After all this, the Shangqing Taoist hesitated for a while before continuing: “If you arrive here and this sword embryo still remains and hasn’t been taken away by others, that means my plan has failed.”

“In that case, you can take away the sword embryo as well.”

Finally, after the Shangqing Taoist had taught Jiang Chen the Dao for three years and conveyed Shangqing Taoist scripture, he drifted away.

Next, the Dao Mirror continued to circulate.

Suddenly, time in this place accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to the present.

The figure of the Shangqing Taoist hasn’t been seen here since.

It isn’t known whether it was because he achieved sainthood and the Dao Mirror could no longer record his image, or he hadn’t returned here after that.

…

…

Half a month after the Shangqing Taoist departed, Jiang Chen finally regained consciousness.

Then he stood up and respectfully bowed in the direction where the Shangqing Taoist left: “Thank you, master, for imparting the Dao.”

After all, having accepted his legacy, it was appropriate to call him master.

After sorting out everything he received from the Shangqing Taoist, Jiang Chen soon understood the purpose of his arrangement.

The Shangqing Taoist did so to refine an Innate Treasure!

Being part of the Pangu’s three Pure Ones, both Taiqing Taoist and Yuqing Taoist had treasures created in the beginning of time, only he, the Shangqing Taoist, didn’t have one.

Although he didn’t say anything, he was somewhat discontented deep down.

Therefore, upon receiving the fragments of the Pangu Axe, a daring idea emerged in the mind of the Shangqing Taoist.

Since he didn’t have one, why not refine one himself?

No sooner thought than done, the Shangqing Taoist first extracted the original power of Innate Treasure Immortal Slaying Sword Array and infused it into the fragments of the Pangu Axe.

He thought of forging a sword, an Innate Divine Sword integrated with the power of four swords.

Once this sword is refined, there would be no need for the Immortal Slaying Sword Array.

Once this sword appears, it is the complete Immortal Slaying Sword Array, incredibly powerful, capable of replacing the Slaying God Spear as the first killer treasure of the Honghuang Era.

With this in mind, the Shangqing Taoist started his arrangement.

The Four Spirit Beads are top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The power of the four great things at the Innate stage, containing supreme creation.

Huaguo Mountain, top-class Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

The Innate White Jade Pool, a middle-level Innate Spiritual Treasure, can condense Innate Water Spirit Power into spiritual water.

All these treasures combined, with several of the Shangqing Taoist’s methods that Jiang Chen couldn’t see through, jointly refining the fragments of the Pangu Axe, it seems, should be able to forge it into an Innate Treasure.

As for whether this can succeed, the Shangqing Taoist could not determine.

Because since the beginning of heaven and earth, there has never been a heard of anyone refining an Innate Treasure.

The Shangqing Taoist naturally had no confidence.

All he could do was to make every effort to arrange everything perfectly.

Then, he waited!

Like this, he waited for countless ages.

The ultimate outcome was undeniably a failure.

Because that Innate Divine Sword still remains here, still in the form of a sword embryo, the Shangqing Taoist didn’t take it away.

If the Shangqing Taoist had succeeded, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have come here.

According to the Upper Qing Saint, since he failed, this sword embryo belongs to Jiang Chen.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen stepped into the White Jade Pool and approached the sword embryo.

He then reached out to grab it.

The Innate Fire Spirit on the sword embryo seems incredibly intimidating, but it’s actually just a bluff.

Its power, which could burn Taiyi Daolord to ashes, has long been absorbed by the sword embryo with the passage of time.

The remaining power, though it could burn an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal to death, couldn’t harm Jiang Chen at all.

Due to the power of Pangu in his body, Jiang Chen encountered no resistance when he pulled out this sword embryo.

He easily removed it.

“Take!”

Using a Divine Ability, Jiang Chen gathered up the Innate Fire Spirit on the sword embryo, then he held the sword embryo in both hands and carefully examined it.

He wanted to see why the Shangqing Taoist failed.

This sword embryo, though called a sword, would be more appropriate to say it is an iron sheet.

It not only lacks a sharp edge but also a blade.

It could only be said to be barely sword-shaped.

Although it looks a bit ugly, the power of this sword embryo is indeed strong.

After careful sensing, Jiang Chen could detect forty-five Innate Divine Prohibitions within it.

Forty-five Innate Divine Prohibitions, this represents the extreme of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

One step further, it will be the legendary Innate Treasure.
