Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 236 - 236 226 Sutra of Salvation

236: Chapter 226: Sutra of Salvation 236: Chapter 226: Sutra of Salvation As for whether Sun Wukong would ever become an enemy of the Human Race in the future?

No, he wouldn’t.

He had sworn an oath that he would never turn against the Human Race in this life.

In fact, compared to the Demon Clan, Sun Wukong clearly had a closer affinity with the Human Race.

He was a natural ally of the Human Race, both coming from the school of Emperor Wa.

Their relationship was close indeed.

If the Human Race did not betray Sun Wukong in the future, why should he turn against them?

Furthermore, with Sun Wukong up in the heavens, how could he rule over the Demon Clan of the Eastern Sea and become their lord?

What a joke, did the lord of the Demon Clan of the Eastern Sea have to reside in the Eastern Sea?

Just because he resided in the heavens, does it mean he couldn’t rule over the Demon Clan of the Eastern Sea?

What sort of logic was that?

Take Emperor Gouchen for example, he was not resident among the Demon Clan either, in fact, he hadn’t shown himself for millions of years.

Yet, among the Demon Clan of the Three Realms, who dares to defy his orders?

As long as Sun Wukong’s strength was strong enough and his reputation loud enough, it wouldn’t matter whether he was in the Eastern Sea or not.

He would still be able to rule the Demon Clan of the Eastern Sea effectively, with all demons daring not to rebel against him.

…

……

Leaving Sun Wukong to his thoughts, Jiang Chen slowly walked towards the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers.

At this moment, the corpses of the demons were all gathered by the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers, totaling nearly one hundred thousand.

Along with the corpses of the Taiyi Demon Kings, they piled up on a small island, forming a mountain of corpses and appearing incredibly horrific.

After Jiang Chen arrived, he didn’t spare a second glance at this scene, instead headed to another spot.

It was also a small island, also filled with corpses.

However, compared to the Demon Clan corpses, the bodies here were laid out unusually neatly.

The Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers even built a simple tomb for them.

It was clearly a labor of love.

Those buried here were the corpses of the Human Race warriors who had come to aid the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers.

They had fought against the Demon Clan, perished unexpectedly here, and stayed forever.

They were all heroes, but it was a pity that Jiang Chen was not capable of resurrecting them.

The Monkey’s name was not in the Book of Life and Death, and therefore a slight effort was enough to resurrect him.

However, for those whose names were in the Book of Life and Death, resuscitating one or two might not have been a problem.

But to resurrect tens of thousands at once, did they really think the Underworld was just for show?

The cycle of life and death was the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth, not something that mere mortals could defy.

Only the Daluo Taoist Lord, could break this ultimate truth.

Presently, Jiang Chen couldn’t do it!

…

Upon reaching the island, Jiang Chen silently paid his respects to the Human Race warriors lying there, then slowly sat down cross-legged, taking out the Shangqing Talisman from his chest, forming a hand seal, and dragging it with his fingertip while muttering a mantra.

“Human Path is vast, Immortal Dao is boundless, Ghost Dao is blissful!

The Human Path values life, Immortal Dao values birth, Ghost Dao values the end; Immortal Dao is always auspicious, Ghost Dao is always ominous, high Shangqing spirits are beautiful, the lament song echoes in the void; Only wish for Heavenly Dao to succeed, do not wish for Human Path to be impoverished.”

…

This was the Sutra of Salvation, passed down by Pangu Shangqing Taoist.

The Sutra of Salvation was not a scripture born before Heaven and Earth, but its extraordinary use was no less.

Although its combat power was not strong, it could guide and transform all living beings.

“Beidu Spring Miao Mansion, home to myriad ghosts.” Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in the void, his voice resonating as if it were being transmitted from outside Heaven and Earth.

“This is the legendary Sutra of Salvation!” A Human Race expert next to Jiang Chen recognized the origins of the scripture upon hearing Jiang Chen’s chant.

The Immortal Dao values life, Boundless Salvation.

This was the supreme scripture created by the Shangqing Taoist for the salvation of all beings.

As the Sutra of Salvation was being recited, everyone was deeply moved.

They also opened their mouths and began to recite the scripture together.

There seemed to be an inexplicable force in Heaven and Earth being invoked.

A faint radiance spread from everyone’s bodies, illuminating this area of the sea, with a dazzling splendor that spanned millions of feet.

Many people became immersed in a strange state and kept reciting the scripture.

Simultaneously, the Shangqing Talisman in Jiang Chen’s hand was also emitting light, radiating a massive amount of Shangqing Immortal Light.

As the crowd’s chanting continued, the light was directed towards the bodies of the Human Race cultivators on the island.

Under the Shangqing Immortal Light, the resentment and evil energy on the bodies were first cleansed.

Then, the bodies themselves began to radiate light, becoming crystal clear, and finally turned into specks of light that returned to Heaven and Earth.

Indeed, from Heaven and Earth they came and to Heaven and Earth they returned.

As the bodies of these Humans disappeared, a strand of Shangqing Immortal Light was wrapped around their True Spirit, crossing the boundary between life and death, heading towards the Netherworld.

With the protection of the Shangqing Immortal Light, after these people from the Human Race reincarnate, they were bound to carry a trace of Immortal fate, making it easier for them to enter the Dao in their next lives.

Perhaps one day in the future, they would have the chance to attain enlightenment and become Immortals.

After purifying these Humans, Jiang Chen put away the Shangqing Talisman, stood up, and walked to the side.

It was time to deal with the bodies of the Demon Clan.

It was seen that he first divided the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers into one hundred and eight parts, and then he took out one hundred and eight long banners from his chest, assigning one to each part.

These were the Soul Refining Banners, used to set up the Soul Refining Array.

The banners bore the Demon Refining Divine Patterns that he had comprehended from the Demon Refining Pot, as well as the innate Tao Patterns of Heaven and Earth, which could gather the power of Heaven and Earth.

While these Soul Refining Banners may not have been of a high rank, merely top-rank acquired spiritual treasures and not even acquired supreme treasures, don’t underestimate them.

Keep in mind that in order to create these one hundred and eight Soul Refining Banners, Jiang Chen had paid a heavy cost.

The treasures obtained from the Grey Wolf were basically all put into them.

Each of them was forged from the top-rank innate materials.

In other words, while these Soul Refining Banners were all acquired spiritual treasures now, they all had the quality to become top-rank acquired supreme treasures.

…

With the island filled with demon corpses at the center, Jiang Chen directed the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers to arrange themselves according to the array positions and place the Soul Refining Banners in the ground.

Then he formed a special seal and activated the Innate Soul Refining Grand Array.

“Soul Refining Grand Array, Rise!”

An inexplicable wave emanated from Jiang Chen’s body, gradually resonating with the Soul Refining Banners below.

In an instant, the Soul Refining Banners lit up with a series of cryptic symbols and mysterious Dao Light ascended from them.

The surrounding Earth Vein Qi, as if drawn by some force, crazily surged into the Soul Refining Banners, causing the Dao Light emanating from them to become increasingly brilliant.

At the same time, the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers’ blood and Qi surged, like a blazing flame, continuously pouring into the Demon Refining Banner.

Boom…

Dazzling Dao Light rose from the Demon Refining Banner, turning into countless array patterns that were like the textures of Heaven and Earth, covering the island filled with demon corpses.

The next moment, a Dao Fire ascended, the power of the Five Elements surged, transforming into terrifying refining forces sweeping towards the demon corpses.

Every blow would refine a vast number of demon corpses, turning them into abundant blood essence that suspended in the void of the array.

Too slow!

Although the speed of refining demon corpses by the Innate Demon Refining Grand Array was already quite good, in Jiang Chen’s view, it was still too slow.

If they were to continue refining at this rate, it would take at least one hundred days to completely refine all these demon corpses.

Jiang Chen didn’t have that much time to wait.

He needed to be faster!
