Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 304 - 304 293 Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi

304: 293 Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi 304: 293 Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi Their eyes met in the air, and in an instant, the Upper Qing Immortal Yuan within Jiang Chen spontaneously began to circulate.

At the same time, a familiar fluctuation emerged from within the newcomer, faintly resonating with the Upper Qing Immortal Yuan within Jiang Chen.

This unmistakable feeling of lineage indicated without a doubt that the newcomer was Jiang Chen’s direct senior sister, although he wasn’t sure which.

Unsure in mind, Jiang Chen stepped forward quickly and asked the Taoist nun, “May I know which senior sister I have the pleasure of seeing?

I apologize for not recognizing you, Yu Dou.”

The Taoist nun smiled, stepped forward as well and said, “So, you’re my little junior brother?

I am Wudang, the third disciple of our master, so you can call me your third senior sister.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen finally knew who the newcomer was.

Saintess Wudang, one of the four direct disciples of Leader Tongtian and the sole surviving disciple among the many disciples of the Jiejiao Sect.

Her power was beyond terrifying.

Even during the Investiture of the Gods in the Ancient Times, the strength of Saintess Wudang surpassed that of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Teaching.

After countless years, her strength must have grown even stronger.

More accurately, none of Leader Tongtian’s four direct disciples were weak.

They were all peerlessly powerful individuals.

Had it not been for the intervention of the older generation, they would not have fallen during the Investiture of the Gods.

Now knowing her identity, Jiang Chen immediately greeted, “Greetings, third senior sister.”

Saintess Wudang responded, “And greetings to you, little junior brother.”

After exchanging their respectful greetings, Jiang Chen led Saintess Wudang to Qingcheng Mountain to introduce her to the Shangqing Palace.

As they walked, taking in the thriving sight of Shangqing Palace, Saintess Wudang said with emotion, “Just like when Jiejiao Sect was first established, such was the scene: the disciples of the three teachings practicing ascetically atop Kunlun mountain.

Although there was some discord, overall, the atmosphere was harmonious.”

“Unexpectedly, after the outbreak of the Quantitative Calamity, disciples of Chan Teaching surprisingly regarded us, the disciples of the Jiejiao Sect, as their enemies and conspired with outsiders to eradicate our sect.”

“The vast Jiejiao Sect, with thousands of immortals, only I remain.

What cruel hearts my masters had!”

While speaking, an intense killing intent suddenly surged from Saintess Wudang, the deep-seated hatred felt as if it solidified, distorting the void in its palpable presence.

Standing beside Saintess Wudang, Jiang Chen silently observed, not uttering a word.

As he was not a witness to the affairs of the Jiejiao Sect, it was not his place to comment, and thus, silence was best.

After a while, Saintess Wudang seemed to have vented all of her anger and calmed down.

She turned to Jiang Chen and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for getting carried away, didn’t mean to make a scene in front of you.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating it was no bother, “The disciples of Chan Teaching disregarded the fellowship of the same sect and massacred the brothers and sisters of the Jiejiao Sect.

Your anger is justified, senior sister.”

Saintess Wudang said helplessly, “Alas, my power is too weak to confront Chan Teaching and Buddhism.

Otherwise, I would certainly have slain my way to Sumeru Mountain and Kunlun Mountain.”

As the only surviving disciple of the Jiejiao Sect, the hatred that Saintess Wudang held for Chan Teaching and Western Teaching was immense.

If only her power wasn’t inadequate, those two teachings would have been eradicated long ago.

After some thought, Jiang Chen consoled, “Senior sister, you need not worry too much.

Your avenged sect’s grievances are not only deeply felt by you but also our Master.

He surely won’t let the culprits off easily.”

“Look at this Shangqing Palace.

It was established for this purpose.

Once it comes into full swing and gets the upper hand in Daoism, we will surely take Chan and Ren sects by storm.”

“By then, all the beings of Heaven and Earth will only hear about Daoism and know nothing about Ren Teaching or Chan Teaching.

In this way, we can absorb the Fate of both teachings and achieve the grand trend for our Shangqing lineage.”

Daoism?

This was a term that Saintess Wudang had never heard before.

Thus, she curiously asked Jiang Chen, “Junior brother, what is Daoism?”

On hearing this, Jiang Chen was taken aback, only then realizing that at this time there was only Daoism, but no Daoist sect.

Although the Daoist sect revered the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord as its ancestor, it was established by Zhang Ling.

However, at this time, Zhang Ling had yet to become enlightened, and hence the concept of a Daoist sect did not exist.

However, this did not matter and did not deter Jiang Chen.

He pondered for a moment before explaining:

“The mystic is the Tao.”

“The Daoist sect is the Mystic sect, which is the sect that the venerable master plans to establish in the future, bringing all Immortal Tao under one roof to symbolize Upper Qing’s lineage as the true orthodoxy of the Mystic sect.”

Saintess Wudang had a moment of realization, “So this is the Daoist sect, our master is indeed ambitious.

Once this Daoist sect is established, our master will become the leader of the Mystic sect, even more prestigious than the grand senior master.

From then on, the Sanqing should honor our master as the most revered.”

The plan was of course impeccable, as it was the strategy of the Taiqing Saint to become the new leader of the Mystic sect.

However, it was thwarted by the Upper Qing Saints.

Next, the discussion between the senior and junior disciple about the establishment of the Daoist sect took place.

The establishment of the Daoist sect was not difficult.

The Taiqing Saint had already cleared all obstacles.

From this point, the Shangqing Palace only needed to continue to develop step by step, wait for the right time, and everything would fall into place.

However, even though the plan was foolproof, to avoid the Taiqing Saint’s schemes, Jiang Chen still needed to make extra preparations.

Even though these might not necessarily be useful, it was always better to have a backup plan.

The two of them spent several Shi Chen discussing, confident that the plan was now flawless.

With everything in mind, they had nothing more to say.

In the end, Saintess Wudang expressed her regret somewhat helplessly: “Unfortunately, my practice has come to a crucial point, and I cannot leave the mountain for too long, otherwise, I will definitely stay in Qingcheng Mountain and look after the Shangqing Palace for my junior brother.”

Finding out that Saintess Wudang could not stay in Qingcheng Mountain, Jiang Chen inevitably felt some regret.

Having a wise elder in the family was like possessing a precious jewel.

If Saintess Wudang were to stay in Qingcheng Mountain, it would certainly be a great blessing for the Shangqing Palace.

She didn’t even need to do anything; just giving a sermon occasionally would be immensely beneficial to the disciples of the Shangqing Palace.

Suppressing these thoughts, Jiang Chen replied: “Your practice is the most important, sister.

You cannot allow my affairs to delay your progress.

That would be a great sin on my part.”

Perhaps feeling inappropriate to come empty-handed, Saintess Wudang took out a black and white Jade Ruyi, carved with dragon and tiger reliefs.

Looking at the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi in her hand, Saintess Wudang’s eyes revealed a bit of nostalgia.

Then, she handed it to Jiang Chen.

“This ruyi, named Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi, is an Innate magical treasure.

Back then, our eldest senior brother fancied the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi in Golden Spirit sister’s hand but was too embarrassed to ask for it.”

“So, he searched throughout the Prehistoric World until he found the remains of two demon gods, a dragon and a tiger, representing water and fire.

Then, using their remains and all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he made this Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi.”

“Don’t be deceived by the fact that it’s just an Innate magical treasure, its power does not fall short of any ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Today, sister wants to give this treasure to you.”

Looking at Saintess Wudang’s expression, Jiang Chen knew that this Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi held special meaning for her; it was a symbol of the relationship between the fellow disciples in the past.

For this reason, Jiang Chen did not wish to take the Jade Ruyi.

He did not lack this Innate magical treasure, even though its power was enough to rival an ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Unfortunately, Saintess Wudang seemed to see through Jiang Chen’s thoughts.

Before he could refuse, she firmly placed the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi in Jiang Chen’s hand.

With Saintess Wudang’s magical power, if she insisted on something, Jiang Chen had no way of resisting.

After passing the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi to Jiang Chen, Saintess Wudang pretended to be displeased and said: “What, you don’t want the gift from your sister?

Are you looking down on me?”
