Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 272 - 272 Two Six One Harmony of Dragon and Tiger

272: Two Six One: Harmony of Dragon and Tiger 272: Two Six One: Harmony of Dragon and Tiger One could not help but wonder how a member of Immortal Jade Emperor’s clan could have ended up in such a tragic state.

However, this was no longer Jiang Chen’s concern.

When Zhang Ling finally ascended to the Heavenly Realm and met with the Jade Emperor, the reasons behind his suffering would be made clear.

Members of Jade Emperor’s clan, even those reborn through reincarnation, should not be subjected to humiliation by outsiders.

…

Jiang Chen pulled himself out of his thoughts and said to Zhang Ling, “Turns out it’s you.

I didn’t expect you to have such extraordinary luck that allowed you to reach the Mysterious Immortal Stage.

There will definitely be a place for you on the path of immortality in the future.”

Cultivation of immortality can truly change a person.

Zhang Ling was once a frail and skinny child, who also faced malnourishment.

But now, he had the demeanor of a vigorous and stately man, totally unrecognizable to his former skinny self.

No wonder Jiang Chen took so long to recognize him.

“Get up!” Jiang Chen strode forward and helped Zhang Ling up.

He didn’t ask why Zhang Ling was here; a cultivator seeking the Way treats the Four Seas as his home and could appear anywhere without it being strange.

“Thanks, benefactor!” Zhang Ling rose to his feet after another bow to Jiang Chen.

At this point, the few people who came with Zhang Ling finally found an opportunity to bow to Jiang Chen, saying, “We have the honor to meet our esteemed senior.”

Jiang Chen nodded, responding rather coldly, “Hmm, you are all promising.

After this catastrophe is over, I will personally commend you at the Ancestral Land of the Human Race.”

Upon finishing, Jiang Chen encouraged them amid their excited expressions.

…

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Jiang Chen suddenly asked, “Is there a suitable isolation area around here?

I want to refine a supreme Ghost Dao magic treasure here in order to counter the multitude of ghosts in the Shu Region.”

As Jiang Chen’s words fell, Zhang Ling stepped forward, “Benefactor, I know of a place.

The area is rich with spiritual energy and wisdom, definitely a top-notch treasure land, it should be able to fulfill your needs.”

“What place?”

Jiang Chen was curious because after Zhang Ling finished speaking, his soul vibrated suddenly.

A faint feeling emerged in his heart: his destiny was tied to the location that Zhang Ling had just mentioned.

Zhang Ling replied respectfully, “It’s a treasure land that I stumbled upon.

If the benefactor is interested, I can take you there.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, not immediately agreeing, but told Zhang Ling “There’s no hurry.

I need to set up some arrangements here first.

It won’t be too late to go to that treasure land later.”

Seeing that everyone was perplexed, Jiang Chen went on to explain: “Although this heaven and earth formation is powerful, it can hold back only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but not a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

I fear it may not be enough to protect the people here.”

“Hence, I’m planning to reform it a bit, to enhance the formation’s power.”

With Nine Great Luo Golden Immortals existing in today’s world, should they find this location, then the power of this formation might be insufficient to counter their collective attack.

This would be disastrous.

In light of the safety of the people here, the power of the Heaven-and-Earth Water-and-Fire Formation must be intensified.

We cannot expect it to withstand Nine Great Luo Golden Immortals; all we need is for it to last for two or three days under the collective attack of the Nine Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Two or three days would be sufficient for Jiang Chen to deal with the evildoers on the Soul Subduing Banner and have it successfully promoted.

Strengthen the formation?

Upon hearing this, everyone hastily asked, “The Noble God is also proficient in the art of formation?

Truly admirable.”

Jiang Chen laughed, “Haha, I am an heir of the Upper Qing lineage, how could I not understand formations?”

Having said so, Jiang Chen didn’t bother with everyone’s reactions, signaled Sun Wukong to follow, and flew high into the sky.

“Upper Qing Lineage?

Do you mean the Upper Qing Taoist amongst the Three Pure Ones?

But we have never heard about her leaving an heir!”

After Jiang Chen flew away, everyone gathered talked under their breaths.

They understood what Upper Qing represented; it was one of the Three Heavenly Lords of Taoism.

However, in the Three Realms, although there were descendants from the Taiqing and Yuqing lines, there were none from Shangqing line, as if no legacy had been left behind by this Taoist lord.

And as for Jiejiao Sect, it had already perished along with the Prehistoric World during the Ancient Times, its traces of existence effaced by an inexplicable force.

Only a few ancient immortals knew about the existence of Jiejiao Sect, whereas amongst the immortals of the Three Realms, very few were aware of any information about Jiejiao Sect.

These immortals were mostly lone cultivators and naturally knew nothing about it.

As Jiejiao Sect was extinguished, the lineage of Upper Qing saints was also cut.

It made sense for beings of the Three Realms to be unaware of the Shangqing Sect’s legacy.

Not only were the divine beings beneath curious, but Sun Wukong above was also puzzled about what the Shangqing Lineage was about.

He couldn’t help but ask Jiang Chen, “Jiang brother, weren’t you a descendant of the Jiang Family?

How are you now a descendant of the Shangqing Lineage?”

Jiang Chen glanced at him and said, “It’s a long story, so I won’t get into it now.

You will understand in due course.”

Now, Jiang Chen didn’t have the time to explain things to Sun Wukong.

If he were to try to explain the whole thing, even three days and three nights of talking non-stop wouldn’t be enough.

He figured it best to leave it for the time being.

After looking around the mountain peak, Jiang Chen casually took out a few pieces of Sun God Gold and Netherworld Divine Stone.

Using these as materials, he began to carve the array pattern according to the trend of the Earth Vein in this area.

This move aimed to enhance the power of water and fire, transforming the qi of heaven and earth heart and water into Sun True Fire and Nine Abysses Weak Water.

After doing all these, Jiang Chen first took out the Five Fire and Seven Birds Fan.

Then, he turned his head towards Sun Wukong and said, “Monkey, bring out your Sea Pacifying God Needle and lend it to me.”

Although Sun Wukong was a bit confused, he still took out the Golden Cudgel as instructed and handed it to Jiang Chen, “What do you need my iron staff for?”

Taking the Golden Cudgel, Jiang Chen replied without looking back, “I will use it for the formation.”

With the Five Fire and Seven Birds Fan in one hand and the Sea Pacifying God Needle in the other, Jiang Chen infused the innate Taiyi Sun god power from his body into both hands.

Suddenly, the Five Fire and Seven Birds Fan and the Sea Pacifying God Needle were activated, one creating raging divine flames, the other creating surging river waters.

“Go!”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen let go of both hands simultaneously, letting the two magic treasures fall downward.

A flash of divine light flickered, and as the two treasures each met a mountain, they melted into it, gradually disappearing into the mountain body.

The two treasures, one of fire and one of water, could be used as the main control of the formation and enhance the power of the formation.

Boom, boom, boom!

The next moment, the mountains shook, burst into a dazzling light, and profound and mysterious divine patterns appeared, etched on the mountain body, emitting a terrifying power.

Roar!

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s roar reverberated from within the mountain.

Then, a black dragon and a white tiger leapt out of the mountain, meeting in mid-air, coiling together, and generating endless profoundness.

The dragon and the tiger intersect, the great formation is complete!

Having been remodelled by Jiang Chen, the power of the Heaven and Earth Water and Fire Great Formation had risen a whole level, already possessing the strength to contend with a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Looking at the two figures hovering in the sky, a dragon and a tiger intertwined with each other, each emitting a power that could rival a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
