Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1552: One thousand twenty-five, give up the Sacred position! _2

Chapter 1552: One thousand twenty-five, give up the Sacred position! _2

If they cannot solve this, they are afraid they would have to remain at the realm of Primordial Chaos for a lifetime, with no possibility of ever reaching the ultimate realm.

"Senior Brother!"

Zhunti Saint remained silent, no longer speaking.

He did not possess the courage of Jieyin Saint; to him, abandoning his sacred position was utterly unthinkable. Unlike Jieyin Saint, he was not as powerful and still needed the sacred position to enhance his cultivation.

After all those delays, if he were to relinquish his sacred position, he who was once one of the mightiest beings in Heaven and Earth would not only become unremarkable but would also fall from the ranks of the most formidable experts.

The two Saints of the West talked for a long time, discussing the matters after the revival of Red Cloud Ancestor, but how to actually revive him, they did not mention.

It is apparent that in their hearts, reviving Red Cloud Ancestor is not something worth concerning themselves with, easy to accomplish if they so desire.

Indeed, reviving Red Cloud Ancestor has never been a problem; the real challenge is what to do with him after revival.

Before solving this problem, the two Saints of the West had never considered reviving Red Cloud. Only now, with Jieyin Saint having a plan for Red Cloud, they finally entertained the notion of reviving him.

...

...

"Has the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord become so powerful now? He’s even touched upon the true essence of the Dao of Slaughter of Heaven and Earth, integrating the mysteries of the Swords of Zhuxian into one."

"Alas, one can’t help but think, if he wasn’t an incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, then this ability alone would have been enough for him to step into the realm of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial."

It wasn’t until the Underworld River Ancestor was completely freed that the great divine transcendents of the Prehistoric World realized what had just happened.

Just a moment ago, someone took the risk of offending two Saints, releasing the Daoist of the Underworld River, who was suppressed deep within the Netherworld.

And the powerhouse who did such a thing, judging by the aura that was previously emitted, has an eighty percent chance of being the work of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord. And even if it wasn’t the doing of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, it must have been performed by a giant of the Demonic Way.

After all, even within the Demonic Way, the Swords of Zhuxian are the most supreme legacy. To integrate the sword intent of the Swords of Zhuxian into one is something that even the puppets could not do in the past.

Eons ago, the Taoist Ancestors said that if the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou could fuse the sword intent of the Swords of Zhuxian into one sword during the war between the Tao and demons, then he might have been the victor of that battle.

The fusion of the four swords is like the manifestation of the Dao of Slaughter of Heaven and Earth, possessing the supreme power to slay the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

"It probably wasn’t the work of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord; he doesn’t possess such strength yet. Maybe it was the act of the Supreme Demon Lord."

"The Supreme Demon Lord follows the path of ruthlessness, is extraordinarily decisive in killing, and in terms of cultivation and talents, he surpasses the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord."

"If anyone within the Demon Sect has the potential to fuse the Swords of Zhuxian into one, it would undoubtedly be him."

"If it was his doing, then there’s nothing surprising about it."

The great divine transcendents are never weak; just from the residual aura at the scene, they confirmed which divine ability was used to rescue Underworld River Ancestor, and even more so determined who took action.

They have yet to suspect Jiang Chen, because after Jiang Chen made his move, only six of the nine sword intents remained, specifically the Swords of Zhuxian and the dual swords of Yuan Tu and Abi. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

As for the three sword intents belonging to Jiang Chen, they existed only momentarily and then vanished; only because Jieyin and Zhunti, the two Saints, arrived early did they perceive a trace, while the other great divine transcendents failed to sense it in time.

After the Demon World was established, the powerful beings from the same era as the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou successively went into seclusion and did not emerge. After them, the Demon World’s three most powerful figures were the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, the Supreme Demon Lord, and Demon Lord Tongtian.

However, among the three great demon masters, Demon Lord Tongtian was the weakest due to his incomplete original body. In earlier years, he was hunted so relentlessly by Leader Tongtian that he had no escape in heaven and no entrance to earth, forcing him under duress to change his name to Jian Mu Demon Venerable.

By now, the Demon Sect only had two great Demon Lords left, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord and the Supreme Demon Lord.

Among them, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was famous for toying with people’s hearts. He had advanced further in the demon seed divine ability of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, his divine powers were unpredictable and elusive, impossible to guard against. Even many Quasi-Saints were extremely wary of him.

As for the Supreme Demon Lord, his reputation wasn’t as great as that of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, but his strength was even stronger. He was a rare powerful being Between Heaven and Earth, considered to be among the first batch of the utmost saints.

Moreover, he followed the Path of Ruthlessness, embodying the merciless aspect of the Heavenly Dao, devoid of feelings, his life’s ambition was to establish a clean world.

Of course, this so-called cleanliness was different from what ordinary people understood by it.

Just like the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, his wish was to create a world where everyone was equal, so he planned to refine all beings under the heavens into his avatars. In this way, there would be only him left Between Heaven and Earth, and naturally, there would be equality for all.

The Supreme Demon Lord’s wish was just like that. He saw all beings under the heavens as tainted and believed that by slaughtering all living beings, by annihilating every creature Between Heaven and Earth, the world would naturally become clean.

With such a strong killing intent, it’s no wonder that the Great Divine Transcendents felt if anyone in the Demon Sect could comprehend the true essence of merging the Four Swords of Slaying Immortals, it would be him.

"Whether it is the Supreme Demon Lord or not isn’t important. Even whether it’s the act of a Demonic Way powerhouse, that’s not important either."

"What matters is that there’s a good show coming up. With the re-emergence of the Underworld River, it’s likely that Zhen Yuanzi won’t be able to sit still."

"We have just dealt with Kunpeng and haven’t had the time to catch our breath, and now the Underworld River has reappeared. It would be best if this act was done by the Demon Sect, for if it was the work of a Great Divine Transcendent, then Zhen Yuanzi would be forced into a fight to the death with them."

"And then there are the Two Saints from the West, they suppressed the Underworld River to weaken the karmic ties with Red Cloud. Now that the river is freed, they are bound to be affected to some extent; it’s uncertain how they will regard this matter."

Many Great Divine Transcendents in the shadows didn’t care who released the Ancestor of the Underworld River, what they cared about was that at this critical juncture, someone suddenly freed the Ancestor of the Underworld River – what were their intentions?

Did they think the waters of the Prehistoric World weren’t deep enough? Deliberately releasing the Underworld River to stir the waters into even greater Chaos?

"What a time of endless troubles!"

The release of the Ancestor of the Underworld River has once again caused ripples in the recently calmed Prehistoric World.

...

While people were pondering how the escape of the Underworld River would impact the Prehistoric World, Jiang Chen and the Ancestor of the Underworld River, the parties involved, had already quietly arrived in the Chaos beyond the skies.

"Ancestor, having just escaped, it is really not appropriate for you to appear before the world. Why not cultivate in the Chaos beyond the skies for a while, and return to the Three Realms quietly after regaining your peak strength?"

"Moreover, while the Ancestor is cultivating in the Chaos, you could also help me investigate the whereabouts of the Demon World. Although I did not manage to ascertain the location of the Demon World after my last encounter with the Demon Venerable of Jian Mu, I had a faint sense that the Demon World is hidden beyond the skies."

"Ancestor, like me, carries the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, and we can be considered fated with the Demonic Way. If you are willing to search, you might discover traces of the Demon World."

Jiang Chen looked at the weakened Underworld River beside him and delivered the well-prepared speech.

The main reasons he rescued the Ancestor of the Underworld River were twofold: first, to recruit him as an ally. Secondly, to utilize him to locate the Demon World.

The Human Race had been making arrangements for many years; the Demon World was their second greatest enemy after the Mystic Sect. Even though the current situation of the Human Race did not allow for an all-out war against the Demon World, it was essential to understand the state of this enemy to formulate defenses.

At the very least, they needed to know the basic situation of this foe for proper defense preparations.

"Indeed, all of this is to be expected." The Ancestor of the Underworld River did not refuse and readily agreed.

This time he owed Jiang Chen a huge favor, and these trivial matters, of course, he wouldn’t refuse.

In fact, he even felt these tasks were too minor. Jiang Chen should assign him more significant tasks, like slaying some rival Great Divine Transcendents and the like – the more he exerted himself, the better, so he could repay his debt sooner.
