Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 373: Three Five Eight Great Wish Technique

Chapter 373: Three Five Eight Great Wish Technique

This thirty-three-layered pagoda was just the main body of the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens.

Apart from this main body, Jiang Chen also needed to forge thirty-three corresponding Creation Treasures and place them individually into each tier of the pagoda.

In doing so, the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens will be genuinely completed.

With a thought, thirty-three unique pieces of Innate Divine Gold materialized in front of Jiang Chen.

These chunks of Innate Divine Gold, suspended in mid-air, seem small but in reality, they were massive, nearly the size of a human head, and terrifyingly dense, each weighing thousands of kilograms.

The thirty-three pieces of Innate Divine Gold were of varying types, such as Supreme Emperor Divine Gold, Supreme Illumination Divine Gold, and Clear Illumination Divine Gold, corresponding to each of the thirty-three heavens.

These divine gold pieces were unique products of their corresponding heavens.

The thirty-three Creation Treasures that Jiang Chen intended to forge need to correspond to the thirty-three heavens. Using the Innate Divine Gold birthed from the original source of those heavens as materials would be the best possible option.

Rumble!

Sun True Fire and Taiyin True Fire merged, forming a giant Yin and Yang Taiji diagram that aimed at the thirty-three pieces of Innate Divine Gold suspended in front of Jiang Chen.

Soon, the thirty-three pieces of Innate Divine Gold melted into puddles of liquid metal. In Jiang Chen’s hands, they took on various shapes.

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, maces, spears, forks, bells, cauldrons, mirrors, seals, maps, tokens, rings... a total of thirty-three treasures, all unique.

Soundlessly, Jiang Chen’s figure began to split, changing from one to nine.

The nine Jiang Chen figures revolved around the thirty-three pieces of Innate Divine Gold, their hands forming rapid seals, casting mystical runes onto the divine gold. As a result, the shape of the gold steadily solidified.

After an unknown length of time, on a certain day, the nine Jiang Chen figures suddenly converged into one, ceasing the artifact creation. In front of him, thirty-three unique-looking Magic Treasures hovered mid-air, radiating faint pressure.

These were the Thirty-Three Heaven Creation Treasures, each with its own mystery, corresponding to the Thirty-Three Heavens. However, these Creation Treasures were incomplete, merely embryonic forms of the Magic Treasures.

To make these embryonic Magic Treasures take on fully formed shapes, more refining time was needed. But this process no longer required Jiang Chen himself as he doesn’t have that much time.

"Go!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Chen swept out a wave of magical force, dispersing these thirty-three Creation Treasures into each level of the pagoda.

In an instant, profound changes occurred. As the Thirty-Three Heaven Creation Treasures settled into the pagoda, it was as if the pagoda found its anchors causing countless transformations to unfold.

The elements of earth, fire, water, wind surged and rolled incessantly. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements emerged, giving rise to numerous creations. Tiny worlds formed within each level of the pagoda.

Hum hum hum...

The thirty-three Creation Treasures trembled, merging with the newly birthed worlds. They radiated boundless divine might, subduing the elements and Yin and Yang of the Five Elements, and stabilizing the emerging worlds, safeguarding them from destruction.

"It’s done!"

Looking at the Pagoda resonating with a profound aura before him, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. At this point, the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens could be considered complete.

He wondered, how formidable would this treasure be? Could it achieve what he had envisioned?

Rumble!

However, before Jiang Chen could test out the power of the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens, the pagoda underwent another transformation.

Soon after the thirty-three mini-worlds were birthed, the pagoda seemingly established a connection with the thirty-three heavens in the celestial dome.

The void silently tore open, with various types of Innate Primordial Qi descending from the crack and flowing into the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens, gradually infusing it with a strand of aura from the heavens.

"What is this...?"

"Innate Primordial Qi of the Thirty-Three Heavens?"

In Jiang Chen’s perception, the Innate Primordial Qi that descended from the heavens numbered thirty-three, each corresponding to one of the thirty-three heavens. They were Innate Primordial Qi birthed from the thirty-three heavens.

"This Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens... can it really establish a connection with the Heavens and steal its original source?"

This change was beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations. Initially, he thought that after the successful creation of the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens, due to its correspondence to the heavens, it could do nothing else but silently steal a trace of Heaven’s destiny.

Contrary to expectations, this treasure could directly steal the Innate Primordial Qi from the Heavens. If it could do so shortly after its birth, once it has grown to its full potential through Jiang Chen’s refining, wouldn’t be able to steal the Heavens’ Original Source?

This is truly a divine treasure!

The ultimate treasure of Heaven.

If this treasure truly grows to that extent, it can transform into an ultimate treasure of the heavens, suppressing the destiny of the heavens, maintaining the operation of the heavens, and harnessing the original source of the heavens for its own use.

If so, even if the Creation Pagoda of Thirty-Three Heavens is not an Innate Treasure, its power would definitely surpass one.

Of course, this speaks of the future. However, this potential future perfectly illustrates the infinite potential of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda.

Sizing down the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda to fit in his hand, Jiang Chen looks at it with immense satisfaction. Its performance is truly beyond his expectations. Given proper training, it could potentially become a formidable weapon in the future.

The Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda, with thirty-three post-heaven divine restrictions, represents its current level. It is not particularly high, but it’s quite good already.

After all, it’s still in a nascent phase, yet to take complete form. Even so, the power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda surpasses that of most post-heaven treasures.

After examining the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda for a while, Jiang Chen suddenly uses his magical power to raise it. It transforms into a pagoda of magnificent dimensions, its bottom pointing downwards. As a massive suction force emanates from it, it absorbs all the hundreds of thousands of demons into it.

These hundreds of thousands of demons, based on their respective strengths, are placed in various layers inside the pagoda. There, they kneel around their respective Heaven-subduing treasures, ceaselessly offering prayers.

The prayers offered by hundreds of thousands of demons, all together, generate a tremendously powerful willpower that infuses into the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda, making the pagoda glow faintly. The Dao Rhyme on its surface begins to flow, creating a microcosm.

There are mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and now also a scene of countless creatures praying. It seems increasingly extraordinary.

Next, Jiang Chen teaches these demons the method of refining treasures, urging them not to forget to refine the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda every day and night while praying.

Jiang Chen’s intention is to perfect the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda with the help of these demons.

With these hundreds of thousands of demons producing willpower continuously day and night, and refining the pagoda, the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda will inevitably become stronger and stronger.

Earlier, Jiang Chen had stated that while the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda is in nascent form presently, it needs a lot of fine-tuning to fully form. As Jiang Chen does not have enough time for this, he leaves it up to the demons.

Willpower is one of the most mysterious forces in the world. Refining treasures with this willpower may result in objects even more powerful than what Jiang Chen could produce himself.

"You all must practice diligently, and must not slack off!"

Jiang Chen takes out the Fairy Stone he has obtained from his past battles and distributes it among the demons. The stronger these demons, the more willpower Jiang Chen can extract from them.

Therefore, he is not stingy with them. After all, these demons are resources on Jiang Chen’s path of cultivation, and they will never betray him.

Moreover, as time passes, their faith in Jiang Chen will only grow stronger. No divine abilities or secrets can warp their minds anymore. They will permanently and eternally be subservient to Jiang Chen.

...

......

Having watched Jiang Chen’s actions from beginning to end, the Immortal Transformation Pool finally couldn’t help but ask him, "Daoist, are you really not a disciple of the Buddhist door?"

In fact, the Immortal Transformation Pool felt that Jiang Chen’s methods were reminiscent of the Demonic Way rather than the Buddhist way.

Jiang Chen’s methods were even more extreme than those of the Buddhists. At least the Buddhists, after redeeming people, genuinely cultivated them as disciples, unlike Jiang Chen, who turned people into machines producing willpower day and night.

This was like herding people like beasts, depriving them of freedom and spiritual liberation, leaving them to pray ceaselessly day and night.

How is this any different from the Demonic Way?

Jiang Chen could guess the Immortal Transformation Pool’s thoughts, but he felt no shame. These demons were evil-doers who deserved death.

In Jiang Chen’s view, instead of letting them die, they should be recycled and used as helpers on his path of cultivation.

As long as he maintains a baseline and doesn’t hurt innocent people, then this method is not wrong.

The so-called law is neither good nor evil, it all depends on the heart. This is what it means.

Looking at the Immortal Transformation Pool, Jiang Chen said, "Daoist, you worry too much. If I was really a disciple of the Buddhist door, would I be able to deceive my master’s eyes?"

With a sigh, the Immortal Transformation Pool saw that Jiang Chen was adamant and knew he couldn’t convince him, so he stopped trying to persuade him any further.

As for Jiang Chen, after finishing these tasks, he put away the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda and started to leave.

He calculated that he had been secluded for half a year already. It was time to come out. However, before leaving, Jiang Chen deliberately drew out a hint of willpower and began to study it with undivided attention.

The Great Wish Technique!

Jiang Chen was trying to manifest the Great Wish Technique, as recorded in the Journey of Eternity, by studying willpower.

This was the third-ranked Great Dao out of the three thousand Great Daos, using the Hongmeng Great Wish to subdue and convert the faith of living beings, and decrease certain karma.

This principle not only enhances oneself but also weakens the enemy. The people who are covered by the Great Wish Technique will suppress all their divine abilities, magical powers, and even desires.

In the Three Realms, one must not carelessly make grand vows. If one makes a grand vow but can’t fulfill it, then the Heavenly Dao will surely teach them a lesson.

Even beings as strong as the two saints of the West have been burdened by their grand vows. In order to fulfill the grand vows they made before becoming sanctified, they had no choice but to abandon their face and devote all their efforts to expanding the Western Church.

However, the Hongmeng Great Wish of the Great Wish Technique was different. This was not a grand vow, but a use of willpower. Therefore, there’s no need to really fulfill it.
