Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 235 - 235 225 Scolding Sun Wukong

235: Chapter 225 Scolding Sun Wukong 235: Chapter 225 Scolding Sun Wukong However, since Jiang Chen had quite a lot of merit points, he wasn’t too fussy about using some for resurrecting heavenly soldiers.

Being a bit of a spendthrift, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache at the thought of using merit credits.

The Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers had accumulated quite a bit of merit during their demonic extermination.

After a quiet calculation, Jiang Chen realized that even after deducting the points for revival, overall, he still came out on top.

Well, if he didn’t suffer a loss, then, arguably he had made a profit, right?

Thinking like this, Jiang Chen’s mood improved considerably.

Then, he felt the magic energy within his body surge, forming mysterious runes that transformed into a profound power, casting a wide blanket over an area covering more than a hundred thousand miles around Huaguo Mountain.

Plop~ ~

Strange sounds echoed through the air as white lotus flowers instantaneously sprung up in the places engulfed by Jiang Chen’s magic power.

With the blossoming of the lotus flowers, a strong sense of vitality spread out.

The Heavenly Gang’s Thirty-Six Divine Ability – Flower Blossoms in an Instant!

It could make hundreds of flowers blossom instantly or wither away, or accelerate the growth or decay of all plants – all in mere moments.

It was a Divine Ability to manipulate vitality!

Jiang Chen drew upon this ability to forcibly drain vitality from the surrounding area and transform it into pure white Life Lotuses.

“Go!”

With a mere thought, the Life Lotuses gradually withered and transformed into petals that drifted down, each merging into the bodies of the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers.

The vitality entered and the soldiers’ injuries quickly recuperated, and although they weren’t fully healed, it was enough to not impede their actions.

At this moment, about half of the lotuses still remained.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and, creating a slight breeze, gathered these petals.

He then quietly directed the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers to clean up the battlefield while he carried the Life Lotus petals over to the distant Sun Wukong.

The monkey was feeling very low.

It was understandable.

After all, nearly four thousand Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers had died, let alone the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain.

In this battle, out of the 47,000 monkeys on Huaguo Mountain, at least 10,000 had been killed.

How could Sun Wukong be cheerful in the face of such an outcome?

These were his family!

Jiang Chen approached Sun Wukong without saying a word, simply releasing the Life Lotus petals, letting them drift down and fuse with the bodies of the dead monkeys.

A faint white light flashed and the bodies of those monkeys, which were covered in wounds, slowly restored to their original state.

Not long after that, the monkeys suddenly opened their eyes and came back to life.

Resurrection?

It was unbelievable that close to 10,000 monkeys could be revived and defy common sense to regain life from the jaws of death so easily.

Had Jiang Chen’s cultivation really become that strong?

Of course not!

The revival of these monkeys was mainly thanks to Sun Wukong.

Back in the day, Sun Wukong had erased the names of all monkeys on Huaguo mountain from the Book of Life and Death.

As a result, the souls of these monkeys didn’t go to the underworld after they died but rather lingered around their bodies.

If these monkeys’ souls had scattered, it would have been beyond Jiang Chen’s abilities to resurrect them.

But guiding their souls back was quite simple.

As long as he could restore the bodies of these monkeys, regardless of whether it was him or any celestial immortal, they could bring them back to life.

True resurrection, quite difficult even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, refers to the revival of those whose souls have scattered.

Once the soul has scattered, resurrection becomes extremely challenging.

If only the soul has left the body, resurrection becomes much simpler.

It could be said that, as of now, it’s hard to kill the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain unless their souls are dispelled.

After resurrecting the monkeys, instead of reflecting upon his own decision to drag them into the battle, Jiang Chen even had the audacity to lecture Sun Wukong: “Monkey, you’ve overstepped your bounds.”

“Look at what you’ve been up to all these years in heaven!

Your days are spent in eating, sleeping, or strolling around doing nothing.”

“You may be having a good time in Heaven, but have you ever thought about the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain?

What kind of life are they leading?”

“You’re an immortal while they are demons!

The world of the Demon Clan is a survival of the fittest.

Without your protection, how can these weak beings survive in the harsh world of the Demons?”

Saying this, Jiang Chen forcibly dragged Sun Wukong and pointed towards the direction of Huaguo Mountain.

“Monkey, I’m not afraid to tell you this.

Just before this, I undid the seal over Huaguo Mountain, allowing the sealed Ancestral Veins of the Ten Continents to reappear.”

“This means, the innate spiritual energy on Huaguo Mountain will increase over time and it should soon transform into a paradise similar to the Heavenly Palace.”

“When that time comes, Monkey, do you think these monkeys will be able to hold onto Huaguo Mountain?

If they fail, what fate awaits them?”

Framing it this way, Jiang Chen finally revealed his real intentions, offering earnest advice to Sun Wukong:

“Monkey, you’re not young anymore.

Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should think about the monkeys that follow you.

If you continue like this, they will continue to live in uncertainty.”

“You should also strive now!”

“A man cannot go a day without power!”

“The greater your power in Heaven, the more renowned you become within the Three Realms, the safer the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain will be, and less people will dare to plot against them.”

“That’s all I have to say, think about it yourself!”

With this, Jiang Chen left in a flurry.

His demeanor resembled that of a teacher scolding a subpar student.

It has to be said, Jiang Chen was quite shameless.

If it wasn’t for him, the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain wouldn’t have encountered their current circumstances.

Yet, after merely a few words, he not only exonerated himself but also put all the blame on to Sun Wukong.

As for Sun Wukong, he was left dumbfounded by Jiang Chen.

After his departure, he began to seriously consider his future.

…

While Jiang Chen had left physically, his spiritual consciousness continuously monitored Sun Wukong and upon seeing him show signs of understanding, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

His carefully planned effort had not been wasted!

What he told Sun Wukong was not mere blustering.

After thoughtful consideration, Jiang Chen had decided to train Sun Wukong to become the greatest Demon King in the Eastern Sea, and thereby rule all the demons there.

The demons of the Eastern Sea had always been a thorn in the side of the human race there.

They were impossible to completely eliminate and posed a grave threat.

As such, humans in these regions were often victimized by demons.

However, Jiang Chen had an ingenious solution.

He decided to nurture a Demon King from among the human race, to lead the demons of the Eastern Sea.

Once this was achieved, the demons would gradually become underlings to the humans of the Eastern Sea.

This move would not only solve a massive problem for the human race but also recruit a significant force for the humans there, a truly ingenious idea.
