Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 340 - 340 Three Two Nine Mount Buzhou Fragment

340: Three Two Nine, Mount Buzhou Fragment 340: Three Two Nine, Mount Buzhou Fragment Jiang Chen discovered that this small island seems to be divided into twelve equal parts by some kind of formation, with the Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus at the center of the island as the focus.

Moreover, the properties of each part are all different.

There are twelve parts, each aligning with one of the twelve forces in Heaven and Earth.

These are time, space, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, electricity, and poison.

The area where Jiang Chen currently resides belongs to the wood attribute domain, where the Innate Yi Wood elemental energy pervades, brimming with exceptional vitality.

Such a special environment allows the region to bear the maximum amount of Innate spiritual medicine and the strongest life forms.

Also, Jiang Chen wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt an intimate sensation from the island, just like he had seen treasures with the same aura somewhere else before.

What was it?

Jiang Chen stopped walking, frowning in thought.

In his cultivation state, he normally wouldn’t experience this kind of situation.

Normally, he would know the answer as soon as he thought about it.

But that strand of familiar aura was too faint and suppressed by the omnipresent twelve attribute energies in Heaven and Earth.

It made it difficult for Jiang Chen to identify its information.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it seemed that Jiang Chen suddenly recalled something.

He took out a fist-sized fragment of Mount Buzhou from within his body.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen was astonished to realize thee aura emanating from the small island was identical to the aura emanating from the Mount Buzhou fragment.

Could it be…

Doubting this in his heart, Jiang Chen immediately squatted down.

He used his divine powers to create a spade and began to dig into the ground.

The soil on the island was solidified from deposits of Innate Earth attribute energy, containing a large amount of vitality and energy, extraordinarily heavy.

Even the Gods would find it hard to move.

However, this did not matter to Jiang Chen who even killed Taiyi Golden Immortals, so this small amount of Innate Spiritual Soil was a piece of cake for him.

Of course, it was related to the island’s properties.

If Jiang Chen had been in the soil attribute area, where the turbidity in the earth was heavier, all the Innate Spiritual Soil was connected and very hard, which was comparable to the Innate Divine Gold.

Jiang Chen might be able to dig into it, but it would take a lot of effort.

Soon, with Jiang Chen’s digging, the broken soil overturned, and soon a large hole appeared.

Given Jiang Chen’s speed, if he were to take up digging, he would definitely be an expert.

At a certain moment, a loud “clang” was heard, as though Jiang Chen had struck something.

The shovel he had created with his divine power was directly split in two.

“Found it!”

Feeling the excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen immediately dispersed the shovel in his hand, used both hands to remove the soil, and squatted down to look closely.

As expected, he dug up a piece of purple stone which was carved with mysterious Tao patterns that seemed to illustrate the principles of Heaven and Earth and was deeply embedded in the Innate Spiritual Soil.

Jiang Chen took the Mount Buzhou fragment in his hand, comparing it with the purple stone he dug up.

Whether it was the aura or the Tao patterns, they were exactly identical.

“Confirmed, this island is a fragment from Mount Buzhou.” Jiang Chen said, relieved, as he put away the Mount Buzhou fragment he held in his hand.

This island doesn’t actually belong to the Eastern Sea, but rather was transformed by the Upper Qing Saints from a fragment of Mount Buzhou.

No wonder it could transform Chaos elemental energy.

Such a large fragment of Mount Buzhou was super valuable, not inferior to the Soil of Rest from the Nine Heavens.

Jiang Chen could believe it could even transform into a divine mountain, not just transform Chaos elemental energy.

The fragment from Mount Buzhou given to Jiang Chen by Guang Chengzi could be described as just a large rock from Mount Buzhou at best.

Compared to the island, it was as insignificant as a hair from nine oxen.

This island was actually part of the body of the Mount Buzhou that had broken off.

Though it was far less compared to the majority that the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had taken, it should not be underestimated.

He didn’t know why, but the Upper Qing Saints went to such great lengths to move this fragment of Mount Buzhou to this desolate sea area and turned it into an island.

Furthermore, what is the formation on this island, what is its purpose, and why is the island evenly divided into twelve parts with different attributes?

There must be a scheme that Jiang Chen did not know about in all this.

And the answer is most likely hidden in the center of the island, which is the Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and made his way towards the center of the island.

The island is not large.

After a short walk, Jiang Chen arrived at the center of the island where he saw the jade pool that the Upper Qing Saint left for him, and the Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus in the pool.

Without even getting close, Jiang Chen smelled a refreshing aroma.

Strangely, he felt that the vitality of his body increased greatly, his life force also became more vigorous, and even his lifespan extended by a few years.

Innate Treasure!

This was enough to convince Jiang Chen that this Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus was indeed a rare treasure.

When he got closer, Jiang Chen finally saw the shape of the Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus clearly.

Just like what he remembered, the flower had nine petals, and the aura of creation was flowing around it.

The natural Creation Tao patterns grew on the petals, making it a true Creation Treasure.

But as Jiang Chen observed the lotus, he suddenly felt that this Ninth Grade Creation Green Lotus looked familiar as well.

It was the second time today that he felt such familiarity.

With a thought in mind, Jiang Chen drew out the Dao Jian.

Simultaneously, countless innate divine light poured forth from the Dao Jian, slowly weaving together to form a picture.

The image was that of a green lotus, not a nine-category one, but a thirty-six-category one: The Chaos Green Lotus, treasure of chaos with thirty-six categories.

Jiang Chen would never have had the chance to see such a treasure, but the Dao Jian inherited the memory of the Pangu Axe.

The Pangu Axe and Chaos Green Lotus, being both artifacts of the Pangu Great God, naturally recognized each other.

Therefore, the image of the Chaos Green Lotus was preserved in the Dao Jian.

At this moment, Jiang Chen glanced at the nine-category Green Lotus before his eyes, then looked at the thirty-six-category Chaos Green Lotus in the Dao Jian, and felt a hint of similarity between the two.

Could it be possible that this nine-category Green Lotus is a descendant of the Chaos Green Lotus?

Unable to wrap his head around this question, Jiang Chen chose to forget it and began refining the treasure.

He directly divided a wisp of his True Spirit imprint, branding it onto the Nine-Category Green Lotus before him.

As the True Spirit imprint came into contact with the Nine-Category Green Lotus, thirty-six innate divine prohibitions appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

One more divine prohibition would have made the Green Lotus a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It turned out that this Nine-Category Green Lotus was a top-grade high-category Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen began to refine the innate divine prohibitions before him.

Unaware of whether it was the effects of the Pangu aura in Jiang Chen’s body, the Nine-Category Green Lotus made no resistance to his refinement, instead, it was very submissive.

Therefore, Jiang Chen easily completed the initial refinement of the Nine-Category Green Lotus, refining nine innate divine prohibitions all at once.

Just at this moment, information regarding the Nine-Category Green Lotus surfaced in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Nine-category Creation Green Lotus, an upper-category Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, is transformed from the seeds of the twenty-four-category Creation Green Lotus, a treasure used for opening the heaven.

After learning about the origins of the Nine-Category Green Lotus, Jiang Chen finally understood its relationship with the Chaos Green Lotus.

When the Pangu Great God created the heavens and the earth, he did not use one but two Treasures.

He wielded the Pangu Axe and stepped on the Chaos Green Lotus.

That was the image of the Pangu Great God when he opened up the heavens.

In other words, like the Pangu Axe, the Chaos Green Lotus was also a treasure for opening the heavens.

However, compared to the Pangu Axe which was divided into three to form three treasures of heavens, the Chaos Green Lotus was worse off, shattered into dozens of large and small innate spiritual treasures.

Therefore, the status of the Chaos Green Lotus is far lower than that of the Pangu Axe.

However, what differentiates the Chaos Green Lotus from the Pangu Axe is that the Chaos Green Lotus, although a chaos treasure, is also a chaos spirit root.

In other words, the Chaos Green Lotus is alive, not dead.

When the heaven was opened, the Chaos Green Lotus could not bear the pressure and exploded.

Its leaves transformed into the Innate Five Element Banners, its seeds turned into the four Lotus Platforms, and the rest became various Innate Spirit Roots.

However, its main stem was unexpectedly preserved.

It was nurtured for billions of years on Mount Buzhou and restored to the twenty-four category Creation Green Lotus.

It is a top-grade Innate Spirit Root, and its power is not weaker than the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell—three of the Treasures originally used to open the Heavens.

What a pity!

This Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus had bad luck.

It encountered its nemesis, the Sanqing, before it was born into the world and was divided into three high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The Lotus Flower turned into a dragon-handled cane for the Saint of Taiqing to use; the Lotus Root was transformed into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi which fell into the possession of the Yu Qing Saint; and the Lotus Leaf became the Qingping Sword possessed by the Shangqing Saint.

These three treasures were a testament to the common origin of the Sanqing.

Although the twenty-four-category Creation Green Lotus was destroyed, Heaven never seals off all exits and everything has a slim chance of survival.

Perhaps foreseeing its impending doom, the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus bred a lotus seed at the last moment, inheriting everything from itself.

There was only one lotus seed and three Sanqing.

How could it be divided?

Thinking of themselves as elder brothers, the Saint of Taiqing and Yu Qing Saint handed over the lotus seed to their youngest brother, the Shangqing Saint.

The lotus seed is the Nine-Category Green Lotus that stands before Jiang Chen now.

The Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus is the legitimate eldest son of the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Nine-Category Green Lotus is the legitimate eldest son of the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus.

By this calculation, the Nine-Category Green Lotus is the legitimate eldest grandson of Chaos Green Lotus.

What a noble lineage!

Moreover, the Nine-Category Green Lotus inherited everything from the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus, it may not be impossible for it to metamorphose back into a treasure that opens heaven someday in the future.

There is a possibility, but it is extremely slim.

Jiang Chen had no hope for this.

If this could be done, why would the Shangqing Saint give the Nine-Category Green Lotus to Jiang Chen?

Having known that what Shangqing Saint lacked is an Innate Treasure that could suppress the Fate.

If the Nine-Category Green Lotus could indeed transform into an Innate Treasure, Shangqing Saint would for sure not let go of it.

Nevertheless, he handed over the Nine-Category Green Lotus to Jiang Chen now.

This shows that Shangqing Saint has tried it before but ultimately failed.

Out of despair, he passed on the Nine-Category Green Lotus to Jiang Chen.

PS: Finally reached the breakthrough of 5000 words with 6000 words written.

It’s not that I am not trying, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up.

All my relatives and friends are working on the construction site, they have come back for the festival recently, and we definitely have to gather together.

Today you treat me to a meal, tomorrow I treat you to a meal, this is all time-consuming.

This is a difficult invitation to decline.
