Chapter 595: Four Eight One - The Sea of Blood Just Appeared_2

Using merit to eliminate negative karma is the simplest and most effective method, but it also has the greatest cost.

In just a short while, the Great Sun Buddha has depleted the merits he had accumulated over many years. The loss was not insignificant.

Even with the Great Sun Buddha’s state of mind, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips in pain at this moment.

However, the cost was not wasted. The Great Sun Buddha opened his mouth and swallowed the residual resentment and negative karma.

Such little resentment and karma would not harm him, he could obliterate it with just a bit of time.

After doing all this, a thought moved within the Great Sun Buddha, and a dazzling golden light appeared around him, shrouding him like a small sun.

However, different from before, the previous golden light was the light of merit, and now, the golden light is the light of the Sun God. Although they’re both equally dazzling, there is a fundamental difference between them.

...

The Great Sun Buddha used the light of merit to dissipate negative karma. Aim contrast, Jiang Chen didn’t need to.

Just as the negative karma rushed towards him, the Sin Treasure Wheel wrapped in black flames appeared at the back of Jiang Chen’s head. As it rotated, it refined the negative karma and resentment.

Soon after, the resentment and karma aimed at Jiang Chen were all refined by him. And the Sin Treasure Wheel at the back of his head has increased from four streaks to eight, almost on par with the Merit Gold Wheel.

It was close, a real scare for Jiang Chen.

If the power of the Sin Treasure Wheel surpasses the Merit Gold Wheel, the Heavenly Dao would sense it and would instantly summon countless heavenly thunders to destroy Jiang Chen.

Fortunately, although the power of the Sin Treasure Wheel surged rapidly, it was still a distance from catching up with the Merit Gold Wheel. Jiang Chen doesn’t need to panic.

Having resolved the karma and resentment issue, Jiang Chen began to examine the changes in his body.

After absorbing the remnants of the crows, their original source was completely integrated with Jiang Chen, and he gained great benefits from this. The most significant is that his original source has become more profound, almost reaching the level of Innate Divine Saint.

Jiang Chen feels that he only needs an opportunity to take a step further and transform from an Innate Divine Demon to an Innate Divine Saint, becoming a true child of heaven and earth.

"Alas, it’s a pity that I only absorbed the original source of nine golden crows and not ten. Otherwise, I wouldn’t just be a bit short, but I’d be able to transform directly into an Innate Divine Saint."

Feeling his physical condition, Jiang Chen sighed helplessly. There are ten Golden Crows in total, and only when all ten are combined can one become an Innate Divine Saint. But he has only refined nine now, so naturally, there are imperfections.

But Jiang Chen can’t engulf the tenth golden crow, that’s absolutely impossible. He is just helpless, he isn’t foolish. If he were to really appear in front of the Great Sun Buddha, it’s uncertain who would devour whom.

"With the original sources of the nine golden crows completely integrated into me, the inheritance unique to the Golden Crow clan is finally opened to me."

With a calm mind, Jiang Chen started to access the added memories within his mind. This is the inheritance of the Golden Crow clan, recording the practice and insights of Di Jun and Taiyi.

Di Jun Taiyi, they are great figures of Daluo Jinxian’s level. Their insights on practice are priceless treasures, which are of great benefit to Jiang Chen’s current self. If he gains any insights, it could save time on entering the Daoist Venerable Realm.

Compared to these practice insights, Jiang Chen didn’t seem to value the origin sutras and divine abilities of the Golden Crow clan as much. Mainly because these divine powers were also present in the imperial lineage.

In the ancient era, there were no sects. When discussing Tao, except for the ultimate hidden skills, they would not hide anything else, but generously shared it with everyone. They hope to gain insights and advance further in the dialogues.

So, there is no shortage of the Golden Crow clan’s divine power and methods in the imperial inheritance.

But one thing is strange, there are no methods of Xihe’s in the imperial inheritance. However, this can be explained by the bad relationship between the Emperor and Xihe.

What’s weird is that there’s not much recorded about Xihe’s methods in the Golden Crow inheritance either.

"Strange, isn’t the golden crow Xihe’s child? Why is there only one Innate Taoist scripture of Taiyin attribute in their bloodline inheritance?"

Jiang Chen felt something was wrong. He carefully checked the memory of the Golden Crow and realized, it turned out he was mistaken.

The golden crow was not born from Xihe, but was nurtured by the Sun Star, so they are Innate Divine Demons.

As for why they have Xihe’s lineage even though they were not born by Xihe, it was because, some years ago, Xihe gifted each golden crow a drop of her essence blood to baptize their bodies.

After knowing this, Jiang Chen was extremely happy. He thought that by refining the corpses of the nine golden crows, he would offend two powerful figures. But now it seems that he has overthought it.

Since Xihe isn’t the biological mother of the Golden Crows, she will not seek revenge for them. Therefore, Jiang Chen only has one enemy left, the Great Sun Buddha.

The pressure has been greatly reduced!

In an instant, Jiang Chen felt much more relaxed. Immediately, there was a strange change in his sea of consciousness, his True Spirit became more active. The Innate Divine Light was flickering, as if reminding Jiang Chen where he could find his chance to become an Innate Divine Saint.

"Opportunity? The Soup Valley? Dong Wang Gong?"

In a daze, the scene of the Soup Valley popped up in Jiang Chen’s mind. This is his True Spirit signal, telling him where to find his opportunity.
