Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 238 - 238 228 Settling Down

238: Chapter 228: Settling Down 238: Chapter 228: Settling Down Its body was surrounded by the Innate Dao Rhyme, radiating a stunning divinity, shining brightly, projecting various magical phenomena.

This was the essence of Innate!

The demons who died here, although mostly ordinary creatures of the mountains and fields, were also a minority with extraordinary origins, descendants of ancient divine beasts, their bodies flowing with innate divine blood.

And this Innate essence was derived from the Innate Soul Refining Array, extracting all the innate divine blood from the bodies of these ancient divine beast descendants.

Over a hundred thousand demon corpses were refined by the Innate Soul Refining Array, turning into one large and one small essence of blood.

The larger one was the essence of the Post-heaven, formed by ordinary demon corpses.

The smaller one was the essence of the Innate, formed from the innate divine blood of the demons.

The Innate essence, though smaller, not even one ten-thousandth of the Post-heaven essence, contained a power that surpassed the Post-heaven essence by thousands, tens of thousands of times.

“Ah!”

Jiang Chen softly wrinkled his eyebrows as he looked at the Post-heaven essence.

This is where the Innate Soul Refining Array was inferior to the Innate Heaven and Earth Array.

It only had the power to refine, without the ability to reverse the Innature.

If it was replaced with the Innate Heaven and Earth Array, the effect would be completely different.

The power of Heaven and Earth is vast, capable of achieving the incredible, turning rotten into miraculous, being able to defy logic, and reversing the Post-heaven into the Innate.

That is to say, if these demon corpses were refined with the Innate Heaven and Earth Array, what Jiang Chen would get would only be the Innate essence, without the Post-heaven essence.

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen reached out to collect both essences, splitting them evenly into two halves with the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword, then sealing and storing them in a jade box crafted from Spirit Jade.

After doing this, Jiang Chen first packed away half of it, then carrying a jade box in one hand, he walked towards where the human masters were.

“Sorry to have kept all of you waiting.” He bowed slightly.

Jiang Chen handed the jade box to Dragon Ye in front of him, saying: “It’s a pity about those human talents.

They fell at the hands of the demons.”

“Jiang Chen possesses no long possessions, so I offer the essence of flesh and blood refined from these demon corpses as a gift, to thank you all for your assistance.”

“Furthermore, if there are family members still alive from those who died in battle here, all necessary living expenses can be taken care of by me.”

“If they encounter any difficulties, they may invoke the name of my Demon Suppression Heavenly King.

At that time, Jiang Chen will surely respond and come to their assistance personally.”

This is a moral obligation.

After all, they couldn’t disregard the aftermath of the people who had travelled from far away to help and lost their lives, and leave their family members uncared for.

There has never been such rationale among the Human Race!

Accepting the Inate and Post-heaven essences, Dragon Ye said: “I have accepted your gift, kid.

But as for the affairs of those tribesmen after their death, there is no need for you to worry.

With so many of us here, how could there be any time for you to intervene?”

“If you really can’t let it go, then don’t refuse when people come to you for help in the future.”

The affairs of the fallen tribesmen have been arranged by the Human Race of the Eastern Sea long ago, and there is no need for Jiang Chen’s intervention.

Moreover, the gift Jiang Chen gave, the essence of Innate and Post-heaven, its value already far exceeded the funeral expenses needed, and everyone didn’t think it right to let him continue contributing.

If everything is done by Jiang Chen, what’s the point of the Human Race of the Eastern Sea?

Sometimes, face is more important than life.

It may sound harsh, but that’s how it is.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen did not insist, instead, he took out the fairy wine gifted by the Jade Emperor and drank with everyone.

This battle between humans and demons can be said to have ended in a great victory for the human race.

This was a joyous occasion and surely worth celebrating.

During the drinking, Jiang Chen also shared the flesh of the ocean dragon with everyone to eat.

After a good drink and a good meal, everyone dispersed.

…

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Chen immediately ordered the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers to rest on the spot.

He himself secretly returned to the Heaven Court, and came back to the Heavenly Soldiers Pool.

Buzz…Buzz…Buzz…

Behind Jiang Chen’s head, the Six Paths Merit Gold Wheel manifested one after another, radiating a brilliant golden light.

“Go!”

With a thought, Jiang Chen pointed in the direction of the Heavenly Soldiers Pond.

Then, he saw the largest Merit Gold Wheel behind his head tremble a few times before releasing points of radiant light towards the Heavenly Soldiers Pond.

These specks of light were all Merit Gold Light.

Jiang Chen’s visit to the Heavenly Soldiers Pond was obviously to resurrect the fallen Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers.

The merit of resurrecting the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers was, to him, as insignificant as a hair from nine oxen, without the need to accumulate it over time.

With no major matters at hand, it was preferable to resurrect the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers earlier and ease his mind.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

After absorbing the merit, the water in the Heavenly Soldiers Pond began to shake suddenly, creating waves that lifted tides and generated the sound of tsunamis.

Suddenly, mysterious marks emerged on the walls of the Heavenly Soldiers Pond, shimmering faintly.

After these marks appeared, the surrounding water, as if it had found its source, surged towards them.

The light became brighter and more dazzling, eventually projecting from the walls onto the surging water, which twisted and slowly morphed into human shapes.

Looking at their faces, they were exactly the fallen Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers from that day.

“Greetings to our Lord!” After being resurrected, the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers first looked confused for a while, then they bowed and saluted Jiang Chen in unison.

“Rise!” Jiang Chen nodded and asked them to stand.

He then bestowed their former weapons back to them and gave them thousands of Fairy Stones to restore their magical powers.

The Heavenly Soldiers Pond’s ability to resurrect Heavenly Soldiers was already remarkable enough.

Not to mention, expecting it to replenish power within the Soldiers’ bodies simultaneously wasn’t realistic unless you gave the Pond enough merit, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so generous.

“Let’s go!”

Once the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers had donned their armors and picked up their spears, Jiang Chen waved his hand and directly took them back to Huaguo Mountain.

However, before leaving, Jiang Chen sent a message to the divine general Yun Ting who was stationed in the Demon-suppression Hall, telling him to borrow some craftsmen from the Sun Palace.

There was no other reason.

Seeing that Huaguo Mountain was about to become a Holy Land, Jiang Chen thought it would be a good idea to establish a separate courtyard here to serve as one of his bases in the mortal world.

He had no intention to compete with Sun Wukong for Huaguo Mountain.

Huaguo Mountain was huge, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and it was more than just the Water Curtain Cave.

The Water Curtain Cave belonged to Sun Wukong, and Jiang Chen wouldn’t touch it.

However, he could take over other areas, such as the territories of the 72 Demon Kings.

Since all the Demon Kings had been killed by the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Soldiers, their territories naturally belonged to him.

This was spoils of war!

The territories of the seventy-two Demon Kings might not be as good as the Water Curtain Cave, but they weren’t too bad.

It would be suitable for Jiang Chen to settle there.

It would be great to set up seventy-two camps and use them as training grounds.

Plus, it’d also serve the purpose of keeping an eye on the movements of the Demon Clan of the Eastern Sea.
