Chapter 589: Four Seven Nine, Disaster Befalls the Witch Clan_2

Wang Mang!

At this time, Wang Mang was seizing the throne of the Great Han, which was on the verge of collapse. The ruler of the world no longer had the surname Liu but Wang.

However, Jiang Chen stared at Wang Mang for a long time, unable to help shaking his head. The wisps of death energy emanating from Wang Mang’s brow indicated that his time in this world was fleeting.

This was natural. Although the Liu family had fallen, they had connections in the heavens. Wang Mang had merely stumbled onto some opportunities, how could he be a match for the Liu family?

Soon, the Red Emperor in the heavens would make his move, and the declining Liu family would be revitalized, reclaiming their position as rulers of the world.

"What a pity!"

Jiang Chen sighed and left the place.

Wang Mang and Jiang Chen were fated to cross paths. Thus, Jiang Chen had rushed here just to take a look at him.

When he was younger, Jiang Chen had written down some observations from his past life when he was bored. Contents covered a wide range of topics, from astronomy and geography to physics and chemistry, and were all-encompassing.

However, they weren’t of much use.

Because he only had a superficial understanding of these fields, he couldn’t delve deeper.

After writing these observations, Jiang Chen became absorbed in his cultivation and gradually forgot about them.

Somehow, the silk and satin he used to record these thoughts ended up being circulated outside the Jiang family. By sheer coincidence, they landed in Wang Mang’s hands a hundred years later.

Wang Mang was a genius. He had gleaned understanding from these observations, which led to his current achievements.

Jiang Chen came here upon sensing this situation. However, he was merely an observer and could do nothing to change the course of events.

If he didn’t help Wang Mang, there was a slim chance of survival for him. But if he did help, Wang Mang’s death was inevitable.

Jiang Chen too had enemies, many of whom held deep-seated grudges against him within the Immortal Dao. Not to mention, there were many hostile powers within the Three Realms who wished for his downfall.

These forces didn’t dare to make a move against Jiang Chen openly, but they could strike in the shadows. If he showed any inclination to support Wang Mang, there’s no telling how many forces would attack it covertly.

Moreover, Jiang Chen and Wang Mang weren’t close, why should he help him? There was no worse business in this world than supporting someone else to be the emperor.

Couldn’t he do a better job himself? Does he have to support others?

The old saying goes, when the birds are all gone, good bows are put away; when the sly hare is killed, the hound is boiled.

...

...

Upon leaving the Nanbuzhan Continent, Jiang Chen traveled eastward. He quickly crossed the Eastern Sea and arrived on the Dongsheng Divine Continent.

After so many years of delay, it was time to retrieve the remaining Golden Crow carcasses.

Given Jiang Chen’s current foundation, even if he encountered an Innate Dao Sovereign, he wouldn’t be defeated, and escaping wouldn’t be hard. Therefore, retrieving a few Dao Monarch level Golden Crow corpses would be easy.

In the past, in order to find the Nine Yang Spring, he had to search for information bit by bit. But now, there was no need for that.

Jiang Chen took out a golden feather from his Dao Manual. This was a clone of the Golden Crow feather he had copied using the Dao Manual’s power, containing the breath of the little Golden Crow.

Holding the Golden Crow feather, Jiang Chen quietly performed the Innate Eight Diagrams, began to calculate.

Jiang Chen was now an Innate Dao Monarch. He didn’t have to ask around when looking for things. He could just calculate directly, which was simple and convenient.

The Ten Golden Crows shared the same origin. If he found one, he could easily locate the other nine by calculating.

However, just as Jiang Chen was about to activate the Innate Eight Diagrams, he suddenly stopped. He then crushed the Golden Crow feather into dust.

He just remembered that there were ten Golden Crows, not nine. One was still alive. If he casually calculated the locations of the other five Golden Crow carcasses using the Golden Crow feather, he would undoubtedly alert the one on Spiritual Mountain.

So, Jiang Chen thought about it and decided to take a different approach. He saw a flash of divine light in his hand and a long arrow enveloped in cold air appeared.

This was the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow, also copied using the power of the Dao Manual.

The Golden Crow died under the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow. Therefore wherever the Golden Crow corpses were, there must be a Shooting Sun Divine Arrow.

Jiang Chen used it as a reference point and could similarly pinpoint the locations of the Golden Crow corpses.

There were ten Golden Crows and therefore ten Shooting Sun Divine Arrows. But the tenth arrow was destroyed by Di Jun, saving the life of the tenth Golden Crow.

Thus, Jiang Chen didn’t have to worry about the Golden Crow’s hand also holding a Shooting Sun Divine Arrow. He could confidently use this object to locate the Golden Crow carcasses.

Hum...hum...hum...

As the Innate Eight Diagrams spun, Jiang Chen’s mind vaguely sensed five elusive fluctuations that resonated with the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow in his hand.

He had confirmed it. These were the locations of the Golden Crow carcasses!

Opening his eyes, Jiang Chen’s figure flickered. He directly crossed the void and headed towards the nearest Golden Crow carcass location.

The remaining five Golden Crow carcasses all lay in the Dongsheng Divine Continent, with none in the Beijulu Continent, saving Jiang Chen a lot of trouble.

The Beijulu Continent was the stronghold of the ancient demon clan’s legacy. If Jiang Chen went there, the sleeping demon gods alone would give him a hard time, let alone his status as a Human Race top genius, ensuring his one-way trip.

Like the Nanbuzhan Continent being a forbidden area for the demon clan, the Beijulu Continent was a forbidden area for the human race. Any trespasser would undoubtedly face death.

The Golden Crow carcasses being in the Dongsheng Divine Continent and not in the Beijulu Continent was indeed good news for Jiang Chen.
