Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 778: Six One Five: The Ambitious Three Monsters_2

In Jiang Chen’s perception, though the Gouchen Star was rich in spiritual energy, many places emitted strong demonic energy, a clear indication of powerful demons residing and cultivating in secret.

Damn these beasts! They benefit from us humans and live on our lands, yet they still dare to betray us. They deserve to die!"

His face remained calm, but Jiang Chen’s heart was filled with growing killing intent. The Gouchen Star, originally an area of humans, was seized by these monsters. Had they supported the human race, perhaps it wouldn’t be that bad. Yet, it was clear they didn’t have the same intentions as humans.

Looking at the actions of the demons in the lower realms, it was evident. If they had humanity at heart, would they allow the demons to cause havoc and chaos in the lower realms?

They are typical infiltrators, ungrateful wretches. All deserve to be killed!

His killing intent intensified but Jiang Chen did not show it. He continued his pleasant conversation with the three Great Demon Sovereigns.

"The three of you are indeed remarkable. Under your governance, the Gouchen Heavenly Palace is flourishing, everywhere is marked by distinction," he remarked.

"Look at the equipment of these celestial soldiers, even the Sun Forbidden Guard of my Jiang Family isn’t as good. All are top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures. After another few thousand years of refining, they will likely become Post-Heaven Treasures."

"Such gear, even if it was the Great Ancient Demon Soldiers re-emerging, they would only amount to this much."

Jiang Chen boldly praised while pointing at the celestial soldiers surrounding them.

"Brother Jiang, you flatter us. Your Jiang Family is a pillar of the human race, dominating the Three Realms for countless years, we could never compare."

"As for the Great Ancient Demon Soldiers, all are at the realm of the Dao Monarch, any one of them could sweep away countless celestial soldiers. How could they be compared?"

The three demons couldn’t discern Jiang Chen’s attitude and intentions, they could only reciprocate with flattering words when they were complimented, trying their best to praise the Jiang Family. After all, flattering wouldn’t hurt anyone.

No one hits a smiling face after all.

The Gouchen Star was filled with countless divine palaces, magnificent buildings everywhere. The mysterious and innate Dao Rhyme circulated, rendering all these structures noble and dignified, appearing remarkable at first glance.

The further he ventured, the more Jiang Chen sank into deep thought. He realized he had underestimated the three Great Demon Sovereigns.

These three beings, despite their timidity on the surface, held the position of Demon Ancestors in high regard. Why were they cultivating so many powerful men on Gouchen Star otherwise?

Along the way, his biggest revelation was the terrifying number of powerful demons on Gouchen Star. At first, he thought that the dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals who besieged him were the entirety of the Gouchen Heavenly Palace’s force.

But, it seemed he was wrong. On Gouchen Star, there were not just scores, but hundreds, even nearly a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals. Even more frightening, he could faintly sense the presence of over a dozen Innate Dao Monarchs in secluded areas of Gouchen Star.

What were these three Great Demon Sovereigns planning, hiding this many powerful beings on Gouchen Star? Jiang Chen wasn’t sure, but their deep concealment must entail a significant plot.

But what could it be?

In Jiang Chen’s mind, the Innate Eight Diagrams silently emerged, gently rotating, attempting to divine the plot of the three Great Demon Sovereigns. Meanwhile, the Dao Mirror also started shining, enhancing the divining power of the Innate Eight Diagrams.

The three Great Demon Sovereigns were no more than Innate Dao Venerables, their celestial secrets couldn’t be hidden from the Dao Mirror. If Jiang Chen wished to divine their plot, he could do it without them noticing.

"So, they plan to overtake the Demon Clan and become quasi-saint powerhouse overnight. They sure do have grand ambitions." Soon, Jiang Chen figured out their purpose.

They quietly developed their force, then, when the time was ripe, they directly replaced the Demon Clan, becoming the new Demon Clan, drawing in the fortune of Heaven and Earth, stepping into the Quasi-Saint Realm, or even higher realms.

In order to do this, they secretly searched for geniuses among the lower realm demons, brought them to cultivate on Gouchen Star.

Meanwhile, they were also silently supporting demon powers in the lower realms. On one hand, they were collecting resources for them, on the other hand, they stirred up chaos in the Three Realms to draw away the attention.

Now it was certain—the reason why the lower realm demons were so wild was because of the secret support of these three demon sovereigns.

The ambitions of these three demons truly run deep!

Indeed, the three of them were born with the blessing of the Heavenly Fate. They were the kings of the peculiar beings destined by heaven, meant to lead this lineage to rise, and hence, naturally had a great fortune.

If not for this, they would not have been able to rapidly cultivate to the level of the Innate Dao Venerable Realm under such vast changes of the heaven and earth in the ancient times.

Underestimating such characters comes with a price.

In some sense, the three Demon Sovereigns are also children of fate. However, they were simply unlucky and ended up with unworthy teammates.

Why call them with the unfavorable title of Demon Ancestors? Now, because of this title, the good turned into bad. The three Demon Sovereigns dare not wander in the Prehistoric World till this day; the peculiar beings lineage, which has yet to rise, starts to weaken instead.

Truth be told, in the ancient times, without the title of Demon Ancestors, led by three Innate Dao Sovereigns, the peculiar beings lineage could possibly have risen to become a mighty clan of the Prehistoric World, dominating one territory.

Instead, they are what they are now, not only unstructured but also surviving cautiously under the wing of the Human Race.

A slip of the tongue brings calamity!

The peculiar beings lineage has fully demonstrated this proverb with its real-life experience, warning the world not to casually use a title.

At the same time, this also emphasizes how terrifying it is to have a group of unworthy teammates.

Just one sentence destroyed the entire hopes of their clan’s rise.

...

...

"So many experts. This is indeed a formidable force. It can be of great use to me, to probe the current status of the Demon Clan."

A thought struck Jiang Chen about how to maximally utilize the value of these formidable demons.

He would let them attack the Demon Clan!

Currently, Jiang Chen, holding the Emperor’s Decree, temporarily wields Gouchen’s authority. This means that all demons in the Three Realms are, nominally, under his command, ruled by him and have to obey his orders.

This includes the three Demon Sovereigns at present and all high-ranking Demon Clan experts on Gouchen Star.

Since it’s so, it’s simple. Jiang Chen would issue an order to enlist all high-ranked Demon Clan experts to attack Beijulu Continent.

Whether these demons would die after going to Beijulu Continent, Jiang Chen didn’t know, but if they didn’t go, they would certainly die because Jiang Chen would have a reason to kill them.

These demons, all unfaithful and disloyal, deserve to die anyway. So, even if they all died, Jiang Chen would not feel pity.

But they had consumed so many resources of the Human Race. If they died for nothing, the resources they consumed would have gone to waste, which would be a great pity.

Therefore, they could die, but before they do, their value must be squeezed out to the fullest to make their deaths meaningful and compensate for the loss of the Human Race.

...

On Gouchen Star, Jiang Chen was chatting and laughing with the three demons as they approached. Soon, they crossed through countless palaces and arrived at the depths of Gouchen Star, at the front of Gouchen Palace.

This is where Emperor Gouchen handles his work. It is the center of Gouchen Star and a symbol of his power. Countless auspicious fates gather here, mixing with the primordial Chaos energy to generate many atmospheric phenomena.

"Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

"At least a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

Gazing at the Gouchen Palace in front of him, Jiang Chen’s pupils slightly constricted. He saw the infinite Innate Dao Rhyme circulating above the palace, emitting dazzling radiance, interweaving with various laws, making the divine palace seem like the center of the universe.

Next month I must strive hard, no writing means no money, and no girlfriend!
