Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 324 - 324 Three One Three Sword Refining into Silk

324: Three One Three: Sword Refining into Silk 324: Three One Three: Sword Refining into Silk Turning his head to Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen said, “Monkey, your understanding of divine abilities is still too shallow.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen turned his seal into a finger and pointed it at an Earth Fire Poisonous Python in front of him.

The force behind the finger was powerful but not manifested, directly penetrating the skull of the Earth Fire Poisonous Python, extinguishing its primordial spirit.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s actions, Sun Wukong had a vague understanding and his face showed a relieved expression.

Speaking of talent, Sun Wukong’s talent was undoubtedly excellent.

After all, he was the protagonist of the Quantitative Calamity, his talent couldn’t be anything but good, could it?

Unfortunately, despite Sun Wukong’s exceptional talent, he never encountered a qualified teacher.

It was anyone’s guess what Bodhi Ancestor taught him during all these years in the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave.

Neglecting to teach him basic principles for human interaction was one thing, but not even imparting the basic knowledge was another.

This was why Sun Wukong made such a big joke when he first came to the Heaven Court.

Who would like someone crude and lacking manners?

Sometimes, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but wonder: Had the Bodhi Ancestor not taught Sun Wukong anything other than the Great Celestial Immortal Arts, Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations, and Cloud Somersault?

Otherwise, how could the disciple of the saint be in such a state?

He seemed more like a crude mountain monster, ignorant of decorum.

He didn’t know divine power, his magic arts were broad but shallow, he had no knowledge about spiritual cultivation, and his martial arts were sparse.

Sun Wukong had no advantages other than his natural foundation and strong fate.

Well, Sun Wukong’s martial arts were good?

That had nothing to do with the Bodhi Ancestor.

He honed them bit by bit, all by himself.

Given this, it seemed that the Bodhi Ancestor really treated Sun Wukong as a tool.

In the future, he would have to find some time to find a good teacher for Sun Wukong, to teach him divine abilities and the knowledge of practice thoroughly.

There remained many potential abilities in Sun Wukong waiting to be tapped.

Even if he were to just scratch the surface, it would still significantly increase his combat power.

If used properly, this would be a great general.

Perhaps he had become accustomed to using Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen subconsciously considered him as one of his main generals.

……

Boom…

Just as Jiang Chen was considering how to arrange for Sun Wukong, there was a change over at Sun Wukong’s side.

Out of nowhere, he drew the Golden Hoop Staff and struck out using the Mending Heaven Seal technique, smashing an Earth Fire Poisonous Python to pieces right on the spot.

However, maybe because he had just understood the principle, Sun Wukong was a little unfamiliar with the Mending Heaven Seal technique using the Golden Hoop Staff, so he could not maximize its power.

The Earth Fire Poisonous Python was hit by him once.

Although its physical body shattered, it did not die.

In just a moment, it recovered to its original state.

However, Sun Wukong was a creature of astonishing talent after all.

After using the Mending Heaven Seal for a few times with the Golden Hoop Staff, he had already grasped the essence of it.

As he swung the iron staff, his technique became more and more proficient.

Soon, Sun Wukong mastered the Mending Heaven Seal to such an extent that he was not limited to its form and could control it as he wished, transforming the Mending Heaven Seal into a Mending Heaven Staff.

With a series of “Bangs”, several Earth Fire Poisonous Pythons were beaten to death by Sun Wukong.

“Alright, Monkey, we should go now.” Seeing that Sun Wukong had understood the key point of the divine abilities, Jiang Chen did not waste any words, went up to him, grabbed him, and started walking out of the mountain.

Now that he had figured out the true power of the fierce beasts, it was time to activate the formation and refine them all.

“Hey, I, Old Sun, haven’t had enough fun yet, why are we leaving now?” Sun Wukong, who had just understood the true use of divine power, was like a child who had just received a beloved toy.

He was overjoyed and naturally didn’t want to leave.

However, Jiang Chen had reached a half-step Dao Monarch after his breakthrough, making the gap between him and Sun Wukong even greater.

Facing Jiang Chen’s pull, he couldn’t resist and could only follow Jiang Chen.

Hiss Hiss Hiss…

Watching the two of them wanting to leave, the Earth Fire Poisonous Python, which had suffered a lot, was unwilling to give up.

In the hissing sound, dozens of Earth Fire Poisonous Pythons leaped up, opening their big mouths and pounced at the two of them.

“Seeking death!”

Feeling a chill in his heart, Jiang Chen did not look back and gave a cold hum.

Immediately, an overwhelming Dao Rhyme spread from his body.

At this moment, heaven and earth became still, all things lost their voices, and the entire world seemed to turn into black and white.

The pouncing Earth Fire Poisonous Pythons as well as Sun Wukong beside Jiang Chen, all fell into a state of stiffened, frozen in the place, immobile.

About in this absolutely quiet world, a sword light appeared.

It twisted continually in the void and turned into a silver silk thread.

This was the result of refining the sword into silk.

It was a display of mastering the sword to the extreme and reaching the realm of the Sword Path.

Few people in the world achieved this.

Swish…

The silver silk thread went through the void, cutting heaven and earth, separating Yin and Yang, destroying all laws.

It seemed to be able to open up heaven and earth.

This sword silk incorporated Jiang Chen’s years of watching Pangu Great God open the sky.

It carried a trace of the true meaning of opening the sky, supreme and unparalleled, truly touching the realm of the Dao.

Suddenly, the sword silk came swiftly, as fast as lightning and as light as nothing, gently passing over those Earth Fire Poisonous Pythons that were frozen in the air.

The next moment, the sword silk disappeared, the black and white colours receded, and heaven and earth resumed their flow.

Boom Boom Boom!

Then, those pouncing Earth Fire Poisonous Pythons, their huge bodies were silently cut into several sections and fell heavily on the ground, making “Boom, Boom, Boom” noises.

They died.

Any vitality, any primordial spirit, under Jiang Chen’s sword, were all extinguished.

The Force of Opening the Heavens, that was the most powerful force in the Prehistoric World.

Even Chaos could be broken and the Chaos Demon God, slain.

Although Jiang Chen only had a trifling bit of the Force of Opening the Heavens, to kill a few Golden Immortal Level Fierce Beasts was still an easy task.

One could even say it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

The power of this sword silk could not even be taken by an ancient Daluo Golden Immortal, it was one of Jiang Chen’s most powerful means and none other could match it.

After quickly ending the fight, Jiang Chen left without looking back.

As for Sun Wukong, he was completely stunned, just stupidly following Jiang Chen.

What kind of divine ability was that?

Why was it so powerful?

It could even freeze heaven and earth, stopping the flow of time, making the entire world lose its color.

It was too terrifying.

Were such methods really something that an immortal being could wield?

And, could the power of time be controlled by others?

At this moment, Sun Wukong was greatly shocked.

His perception of divine ability had overturned.

It turned out that divine abilities could be this powerful that they could even interfere with time.

Jiang Chen was right, his understanding of divine abilities was still too shallow.

No, it wasn’t just divine abilities.

He didn’t understand the world very well.

There was too much he didn’t know and even more he lacked.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong thought of the Bodhi Ancestor and a huge doubt rose in his heart.

In all these years at the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave, had the Bodhi Ancestor truly been teaching him with sincerity?
