Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 281 - 281 270 Jiejiao Sect's Fate

281: Chapter 270 Jiejiao Sect’s Fate 281: Chapter 270 Jiejiao Sect’s Fate On the surface, Jiang Chen is the opponent of the six demon gods, but in reality, their true adversary is the Upper Qing Saint.

How could the six demon gods possibly stand a chance against the Saint?

…

……

“The principles of earth evolution and heaven creation are understood, discussions of Canon and laws occur in Shangqing Palace.

The key to balancing five elements is passed on, the gathering of the three flowers displays the state of non-existence.

Above the head, the golden ray splits into five colors, beneath the feet, the red lotus traces thousands of journeys.”

Outside Qingcheng Mountain, Jiang Chen walked in the air, with a halo spreading and contracting behind him for thousands of miles, rolling like a tumultuous sea of clouds.

Accompanied by the singing, Jiang Chen quickly arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, and without any hesitation, he followed the small path between the mountains and headed straight for the peak.

The magnificent light rose behind him, its brilliant changes made the clouds in the sky beautiful and variegated, keeping the ghosts hesitant to trespass.

At the foot of Qingcheng mountain, at the rift in the Netherworld, the six demon gods and the ghost commanders from all directions saw that Jiang Chen dared to come again, and a rage ignited in their hearts.

They were about to use their divine abilities to capture him and avenge their sealed peers.

But before they could make a move, they saw behind Jiang Chen, images of thousands of celestial beings appeared within the diffuse light of thirty thousand miles, all dressed in celestial robes and emanating a profound sense of Tao, in a vaguely visible grand hall.

That’s the Jiejiao Sect’s Holy Land, Biyou Palace!

No matter if Jiang Chen is willing or not, as a part of the lineage of the Upper Qing Saint, after the establishment of the Upper Qing line, the remaining fortunes of the Jiejiao Sect would gather spontaneously on him.

Thus, it forms the halo of thirty thousand miles behind Jiang Chen.

Often described as a halo, in essence, it is the Fortune of the Jiejiao Sect, or rather the Fortune of the Upper Qing manifested physically.

When the halo manifests, it is supported by the strength of ten thousand celestials, making it a force that no spirit or ghost dare to confront.

As entities born in the Ancient Times and bearing considerable infamy, the six demon gods and the ghost commanders from all directions are all distinguished figures with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom.

How could they not recognize Biyou Palace of the Jiejiao Sect when they see this phenomenon?

Remember, during the Ancient times, the Jiejiao Sect was at its peak, with ten thousand celestials attending its rituals, recognized as the greatest sect in the Prehistoric World.

How could the six demon gods not have heard of its reputation?

“Is that Biyou Palace?”

“Didn’t the Jiejiao Sect get destroyed?”

“Why does this kid still carry the fortune of Biyou Palace?”

“Who exactly is he?”

The list of questions kept floating up in the minds of the six demon gods, making them hold off their intentions of attacking Jiang Chen for a while.

Even though the Jiejiao Sect has perished, its might still lingers!

With doubts in their minds, one of the demon gods asked Jiang Chen, “Kid, who exactly are you, and why are you blessed with the fortune of the Jiejiao Sect?”

At this, Jiang Chen kept walking, but opened his mouth to reply, “I am the Daoist Yu Dou of Upper Qing.”

Upper Qing!

Upon hearing these two words, a ripple spread through the hearts of the six demon gods, as they vaguely seemed to guess where Jiang Chen came from.

He must be a disciple of the Saint!

The stronger one is, the more terrible they understand the Saint to be.

Upon learning that Jiang Chen is a disciple of the Saint, the six demon gods and the ghost commanders from all directions, for a moment, didn’t dare to lay their hands on him.

While the conundrum of the six grand demon gods was unfolding, Jiang Chen continued to ascend, and soon reached the top of Qingcheng Mountain.

Upon reaching the summit, Jiang Chen set a table, laid a yellow cloth on it, in the middle of the table, he offered his respects to the Upper Qing Saint, and on the left, he placed the Upper Qing magical symbols passed down by the Upper Qing Saint.

On the right, he placed an edict that he personally wrote, detailing all the crimes of the six demon gods, the ghost commanders from all the directions, and a group of evil specters.

After that, he erected the Heavenly Gang Thunder Banner on thirty-six points.

The original treasure was the Heavenly Star Banner.

Once erected, it can draw in the power of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang stars from the sky, it can manifest the Heavenly Gang divine lightning, transform them into a boundless Thunder Domain, become the most rigid and most Yang, and purify all evil specters at once.

As Jiang Chen was setting up his formation on Qingcheng Mountain, dark smoke clouds started to emerge from the rocks and covered the sky in no time.

And amidst these clouds, ghastly specters charged forth, some armed with weapons.

When they saw Jiang Chen, hatred filled their eyes.

They wished they could unleash all their swords and sabers on Jiang Chen, to end his life.

Among the many specters that filled the sky, six specters rode six paths of black smoke, standing at the forefront of these ghost soldiers.

After halting their steps, Jiang Chen could finally see their faces.

Some had beastly faces, some human faces, some were skeletal, some had bird faces, some had green faces with protruding teeth, some had flaming red hair…

their appearances were all different.

These were the six demon gods, once the destructive devils of the Ancient Times, each one achieving the third stage of Daluo, the cultivation of remote Daluo.

Although they were afraid of the Upper Qing Saint, when their lives were threatened, the six demon gods couldn’t care less about that and stepped forward.

They couldn’t just stand there without showing up, just watch Jiang Chen set up the formation and wait for death, could they?

As for the formation that Jiang Chen was setting up, the six demon gods didn’t recognize what it was.

But they knew the fact that the Upper Qing Saint was the best in formation.

The formations of the Upper Qing line, each one is extraordinary.

If they let Jiang Chen succeed in setting up, with their strength at an all-time low, they might not be able to resist it.

Thus, the six demon gods would definitely not stand idle watching Jiang Chen setting up the formation here, they had to show up and stop him.

The Saint might be terrifying, but death is obviously more terrifying.

Once the fear of death takes the upper hand, the Saint doesn’t seem so terrible anymore.

…

…

The six great ghost gods saw Jiang Chen set up the altar on Qingcheng Mountain, dividing the thunder banners.

Each of them was angry, but none dared to rashly draw their weapons.

Instead, they howled and flew towards him, quickly gathering in front of Jiang Chen.

All six of these ghost gods were at the realm of ancient Daluo, and it was precisely because of their high-level realm that they could attract so many evil spirits.

Kill one batch, and another batch would gather, unable to be completely eradicated.

Previously, with the power of the Sun God Wand, Jiang Chen almost completely obliterated the million evil spirits on Qingcheng Mountain.

But now, only a few days later, a considerable number of evil spirits had reappeared on the mountain.

His gaze surpassing the six ghost gods, Jiang Chen saw the Ghost Commanders from all directions.

Looking further, he saw that above the clouds, in mid-air, and even standing on the mountains, there were countless evil spirits.

Most of these evil spirits were humanoid, but at this moment, they also regarded Jiang Chen as an anomaly.

When each of these evil spirits saw Jiang Chen, they gnashed their teeth in resentment, wishing they could tear him to pieces and devour his flesh.

“True Man Yu Dou!”

Out of the six ghost gods, the skeletal-faced one stepped forward.

With a pair of bone candles visible in his eyes, he spoke to Jiang Chen:

“Ever since you entered the Shu Region, strange phenomenons have occurred.

In the darkness of the night, the high-hanging Great Sun illuminates all four corners, causing us lesser ghosts immense suffering.

Therefore, we had to retreat to Qingcheng Mountain, not daring to step outside.”

“You are strong, and while we lesser ghosts have repeatedly retreated and confined ourselves to the mountains, why do you persist in oppressing us, encroaching on our domain?”

A few days ago, Jiang Chen had summoned the Sun God Wand, transforming it into the brilliant Great Sun.

Turning the dark night into daylight, he must have obliterated countless evil spirits.

This was why the evil spirits in the Shu Region looked at him with such strong disgust.

The evil spirits were aware of this, as were the cultivators, but the living beings in the Shu region were oblivious.

However, at this moment, under the live broadcast of the Water Mirror Technique, all beings in the Shu Region learned about this through the revelations of the ghost gods.

Turns out, the Sun that saved them that night was not the manifestation of the Sun God, but of this True Man.

Instantly, the people of Shu Region all bowed towards Jiang Chen in the Water Mirror Technique, continuously expressing, “Thank you True Man for your protection, thank you True Man for your protection…”

Suddenly, a vast power of incense and willpower surged from the void and gathered in Jiang Chen, then absorbed by the Six Paths Merit Gold Wheel floating behind him.

For a moment, Jiang Chen felt transformed, but he couldn’t express how specifically he had changed.

He just felt a mysterious force accumulating within him, as if it was brewing something.

…

The six ghost gods spoke thus out of fear of the Upper Qing Saints standing behind Jiang Chen, hence they decided to step back.

Even if Jiang Chen had killed so many of their subordinates, they still wanted to negotiate with him.

But would Jiang Chen abandon such an opportunity for merit that came so easily?

“Oppress you?”

You are all sinners, wrapped up in karma.

Any of you who is caught should be punished.

What do you mean by oppression?”

You’re all wicked spirits who escaped from hell, not a single one of you is good.

Now, you’re playing innocent here, which is quite laughable.

Since the conversation has reached this point, there’s no room for negotiation.

Witnessing their attempts to cater to him in vain, Jiang Chen continued to be uncompromising, which infuriated the six ghost gods.

They jointly charged towards Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen raised his hand, and a red electric light sparkled.

The thirty-six Heavenly Gang Thunder banners instantly ascended, forming an arrangement in mid-air.

In an instant, above the sky, within the boundless starry sky, thirty-six Heavenly Gang stars vibrated, each releasing a ray of starlight, enhancing the power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder banners.

Boom boom boom!

The Heavenly Gang Thunder banners sparkled with innate electric light, spewing out waves of electricity, hooking onto each other and instantly transforming into a massive thunder domain, covering the entire Qingcheng Mountain.

Usually, thunder fires fall from the sky.

But now, electric light flies from your hand.

On Qingcheng Mountain, the roaring sound of thunder was incessant.

The thunderbolt was more severe than a mountain collapse.

With every flash of lightning, the evil spirits scattered.

The rumbling thunder scared every creature, making their hearts shiver.

In an instant, the innumerable small ghosts in the sky disappeared like smoke.

The six great ghost gods and the Ghost Commanders from all directions took one look and fled.

This thunder technique, naturally carried by the Heavenly Gang Thunder Array, was the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder.

When the power of the Heavenly Gang circulates, it becomes so powerful.

Additionally, it is imbued with a strand of starlight, making its power three times stronger.

With a flip of his hand, Jiang Chen sparked flashes of lightning.

Such electricity is extremely rigid and positive.

Small ghosts would perish upon contact, Ghost Commanders from all directions dare not resist, and even the six great ghost gods would feel numb all over upon contact.

With no other option, they quickly ascended into the air, keeping a distance from Jiang Chen.

“Swoosh!”

Seeing this, Jiang Chen mentally commanded the Shangqing Amulet placed atop the altar and it shot up into the air, landing in his hand.

Boom boom boom!

As soon as the Shangqing Amulet was activated, the surrounding electric light seemed to be drawn to it and converged upon it.

Quickly, a streak of cyan lightning repeatedly flashed on the Shangqing Amulet’s surface.

In an instant, a mighty innate spiritual pressure, like heavenly might, vigorously waved around.

The exorcism of ghosts and demons begins today!

PS: I failed to update as promised, today our village announced that we have to fill out a form regarding land.

I was busy for most of the day, it was so annoying.

However, I’m now a landowner as well.
