Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 306 - 306 Fragment 295 Mount Buzhou

306: Fragment 295: Mount Buzhou 306: Fragment 295: Mount Buzhou A mere apprentice from the Chan Teaching dared to disparage her apprentice brother, how could Saintess Wudang not be furious?

As she spoke, a powerful aura arose from Saintess Wudang, making the void around them warp and twist.

The young White Crane, who was being targeted by Saintess Wudang, felt a terrible pressure approaching, leaving him powerless to resist.

He fell straight to the ground, shouting in disbelief, “Sister, have mercy.

I am aware of my wrongdoings.”

Seeing the pitiful state of the White Crane, the anger in Saintess Wudang’s heart suddenly subsided.

After all, it was just a child.

Arguing with him would only tarnish her status for no reason.

With this in mind, Saintess Wudang commanded coolly, “Qingcheng Mountain could use a sweeper.

You can go there, and you’ll be free again in a hundred years.”

Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; punishing the White Crane to be a sweeper was far more torturous than killing him.

This was akin to having an emperor becoming a beggar.

How many people could actually endure this?

Impressive tactic, sister.

Feeling pity for the White Crane, Jiang Chen turned his gaze away.

As for pleading for mercy, it was out of the question.

Not to mention that Jiang Chen also found the White Crane unlikable, but the reason why Saintess Wudang punished the White Crane so severely was to avenge Jiang Chen.

This fact alone was enough for Jiang Chen to withhold his plea for mercy.

Moreover, the White Crane’s disrespect for the Saint was fitting for this disaster.

In an instant, the once esteemed Saint turned into a mere sweeper, and the White Crane was naturally unwilling to accept this.

Rather than this, he would rather die.

That was what the White Crane thought and did.

In response to Saintess Wudang’s command, he remained silent – his silence was his refusal.

So ungrateful!

Muttering to herself, Saintess Wudang was about to teach the White Crane a lesson.

At that moment, another voice came from outside the mountain, “Sister, please calm down and show mercy.”

The sound, at first distant, gradually drew closer until it echoed clearly in Jiang Chen’s ears.

Jiang Chen followed the sound and saw an ancient looking man dressed in Eight Diagrams robes standing in the main hall.

His appearance matched Jiang Chen’s impression of a hermit.

However, the look in Jiang Chen’s eyes was far from friendly as he stared at the man.

This man had no manners.

Didn’t he know it was polite to call out before entering someone else’s house?

Entering someone else’s home without the owner’s permission, what kind of behavior was that?

If the owner killed him for it, it would serve him right.

Looking at the Taoist man, Jiang Chen said without any expression, “May I ask where you come from, sir?

How dare you barge into Shangqing Palace without fear of the plight of the Saints?”

The Taoist man understood from Jiang Chen’s words that his actions were taken as imposing.

He had been too occupied with saving the White Crane to consider his behavior.

But now he agreed that it was indeed a bit excessive.

So he nodded and was about to apologize when…

At that moment, Saintess Wudang said in a weird way, “Brother, this Taoist man is Guang Chengzi, the senior disciple of Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

He is notoriously arrogant in the Prehistoric World.

Even our master might not be able to earn his respect.

How could he respect your small Shangqing Palace?”

“Later, when you talk to him, keep your attitude as low as possible so he won’t get angry and ruin your Shangqing Palace.”

Did Saintess Wudang have a grudge against Guang Chengzi?

Of course, it was a deep-rooted vendetta.

During the Investiture of the Gods, Guang Chengzi had a nickname as the “killer of Saints”.

Of the five saints in the Jiejiao Sect, three died by his hand.

Besides, the Immortal Slaying Sword, one of the four swords of the Jiejiao Sect, was in the hands of Guang Chengzi.

In the battle of Ten Thousand Immortals, Guang Chengzi used the Immortal Slaying Sword, instantly slaying Nine Glorious Star Lords and twenty-eight constellations at close range.

The hatred between the two was as deep as the Eastern Sea.

…

Upon learning Guang Chengzi’s backstory, Jiang Chen also mockingly said, “So, you are the Taoist Guang Chengzi.”

“I heard that Primordial Heavenly Sovereign values rules very much, hence, I presumed his disciples would also abide by them.

However, today, it appears not to be so.”

This was a subtle sarcasm that Guang Chengzi didn’t follow the rules.

Made fun of consecutively by two, the anger arose in Guang Chengzi’s heart.

However, since he was at fault, he suppressed his anger.

Forcing a smile on his face, Guang Chengzi said, “My sister and brother are too serious.

Indeed, it was my fault for rushing in without knocking.

I have been impolite and I hope you could forgive me.”

After that, Guang Chengzi paid his respects to Jiang Chen.

Looking at him, Jiang Chen asked, “Why exactly are you here, sir?”

Many disciples of the Jiejiao Sect were killed by Guang Chengzi, so calling him “Brother” wouldn’t be appropriate anymore.

At this, Guang Chengzi took a piece of stone out from his sleeve and said, “Learning that the Shangqing Sect is being revived, I came here specifically to give a gift.”

As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to hold up the stone in his hand, presenting it to Jiang Chen.

A stone?

Looking at the blackish-purple stone in front of him, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be curious about its origins.

In this kind of situation, Guang Chengzi could not possibly give him an ordinary stone as a gift.

Otherwise, it would be akin to slapping the face of the Upper Qing Saints, not even the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign could save him.

Therefore, this stone must possess some extraordinary origins, worthy for Guang Chengzi to present it as a gift.

Acting on his curiosity, Jiang Chen reached out to hold the stone, which felt surprisingly heavy as soon as he picked it up.

The stone only seemed to be the size of a fist, yet it had clearly been magically shrunk to this size.

In its original form, it was as vast as ten thousand feet.

As for its weight, it was even heavier.

Holding it in his hand, Jiang Chen felt that the weight of this mountain beneath his feet was nothing in comparison.

If it had not been for his recent breakthrough, and significant increase in power, he may not have been able to lift this stone at all.

Stealing a quick glance at Guang Chengzi, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but suspect that Guang Chengzi deliberately failed to warn him about the weight of this stone, just to see him make a fool of himself.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but suspect this, since such a stone would be too heavy for even a Taiyi Golden Immortal to pick up, let alone a Golden Immortal.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen didn’t have any evidence and had no choice but to begrudgingly accept this.

Struggling secretly, Jiang Chen pretended to easily pick up the stone and began to examine it in his hands.

The stone, blackish in its purpleness, had natural patterns on it that were extremely mystifying and hard to comprehend.

It was also emanating a trace of vague and profound dignity that oppressed one’s mind and spirit.

Moreover, the stone gave Jiang Chen a feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Familiar?

It was not the stone that was familiar, but the aura it emanated.

Without a doubt that aura was exactly the same as the aura of Pangu Great God stored in Jiang Chen’s memory.

This stone…

Suddenly looking up, Jiang Chen turned to Guang Chengzi, with a look of shock and uncertainty.

A stone that was emanating the aura of Pangu was absolutely not of simple origin.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen’s expression, Guang Chengzi just knew that he had discovered something.

He laughed and said, “This stone is, in fact, a small fragment of Mount Buzhou.”

“When Mount Buzhou shattered that day, I was lucky enough to pick up a few fragments.

I’ve used some over the years but there’s one left, which I’m now giving to you.”

“This is a token of my sincerity and the heartfelt wish of all your fellow disciples of the Chan Teaching.”

Although Jiang Chen had some suspicions, he still felt somewhat shocked when he got the answer from Guang Chengzi.

This was a fragment of Mount Buzhou, and even if it wasn’t very big, its value was still incalculable.

The brass from Shouyang Mountain, the innate sacred gold… their values were far inferior to that of a fragment of Mount Buzhou.

The true priceless treasure, even more valuable than the Innate Spiritual Treasure, not because it’s stronger than the Innate Spiritual Treasure, but because it’s more rare.

Price is based on rarity!

The number of Mount Buzhou fragments in the world is far less than the number of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

In this way, it makes the fragments seem even more precious.

However, a fragment of Mount Buzhou, thousands of feet in size, it may be considered a significant treasure to others, but in the eyes of Guang Chengzi, it was nothing.

That’s because he has half of Mount Buzhou in his possession.

Half!

A tiny fragment was just a drop in the bucket for him.

Seizing the chance while Jiang Chen was still in shock, Guang Chengzi quickly commanded the White Crane Disciple, who was still lying on the ground, “Disciple, why don’t you quickly get up and present the gift prepared by the master?”

As soon as the White Crane Disciple heard those words, he immediately got up and presented a three-foot-long jade box in front of Jiang Chen.

Just by looking at the jade box, it was clear that it was a treasure.

It was carved from the highest quality Kunlun purple jade and inlaid with Innate Divine Light.

It could completely be used to refine a top-ranked acquired treasure.

If the box was this extraordinary, the treasures inside must be even more astounding.

When Jiang Chen opened the jade box, he saw two brilliant sword lights rise to the sky, one black and one white, circling continuously above the palace.

Then, the White Crane Disciple began to introduce, “This treasure is called the Male and Female Evil Slaying Sword.

The head teacher himself collected the essence of Innate Yin and Yang and refined it for a hundred years to make this treasure.

So, although it is just an acquired treasure, its power is not inferior to an Innate Spiritual Treasure.”

Closing the jade box, Jiang Chen nodded, “Indeed, it is quite good.”

Then, Jiang Chen turned to Guang Chengzi and said, “Master, the White Crane Disciple was disrespectful to the Saintess.

My senior sister has punished him to sweep the grounds at the foot of the mountain for a hundred years.

What do you think about this?”

Upon hearing this, the expression on the face of the White Crane Disciple instantly collapsed.

This matter was not over yet.

Guang Chengzi simply nodded and said, “The White Crane junior brother was disrespectful to his senior uncle.

He deserves this lesson.”

After saying that, Guang Chengzi turned his head and glared fiercely at the White Crane Disciple.

At first, the White Crane Disciple was unwilling, but he understood the meaning expressed in Guang Chengzi’s eyes and reluctantly said, “White Crane accepts the punishment!”

If you do not agree, I, the poor priest, can’t save you either.

It’s just a matter of time before your death.

Agree or not, it’s up to you.

That was the meaning expressed in Guang Chengzi’s eyes.

During the Investiture of the Gods war, he was not a match for Saintess Wudang.

Now that so much time has passed, he is even less of a match for her.

If a real fight should occur, Guang Chengzi could only barely protect himself and would have no power to save the White Crane Disciple.

PS: I’ve found a job.

I had my induction training at a water treatment plant this afternoon, and I had to perform experiments and check on water quality.

It was really uncomfortable.
