Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1812 - 1155 Teach Ancient Martial Arts_2

"It’s comforting that you all agree, which shows your loyalty to the Human Race. Since that’s the case, act quickly to transform into Ancient Martial Artists, so I can be at ease sooner."

"Don’t worry about being bullied after your cultivation is abolished. With me here, even if Taiyi comes personally, he won’t be able to harm you."

Despite everyone’s swift agreement, Jiang Chen didn’t relax but directly pressured them to take action now and switch to practicing Ancient Martial Arts.

Empty promises hold no weight. Only through concrete actions can one prove their loyalty.

The number of the Human Race in the Immortal World, though not as many as those in the Nine States, is not insignificant.

Wanting all of them to switch to Ancient Martial Arts and become Ancient Martial Artists is not a simple matter, even if the environment of the Immortal World is comparable to the Ancient Chaos.

This endeavor requires not only a vast amount of resources but also a tremendous amount of manpower and time. However, these are of no concern to Jiang Chen.

The Human Race in the Immortal World has substantial resources, sufficient to transform all Human Race members in the Immortal World into Ancient Martial Artists, with some to spare.

As for manpower, Jiang Chen is not lacking. To ensure everything goes smoothly, Jiang Chen personally creates countless clones, instructing the Human Race in the Immortal World on how to practice Ancient Martial Arts.

And when it comes to time, right now there’s no shortage of it. For the following centuries, Jiang Chen does nothing else, dedicating all his efforts to this cause.

Seeing this, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Immortal World, although knowing that having the Human Race in the Immortal World all practice Ancient Martial Arts isn’t necessarily good, are happy to let this occupy Jiang Chen’s attention, preferring not to meddle.

Having Jiang Chen preoccupied is better than having him idly meddling in the Immortal World’s affairs all day, which would truly be troublesome for them.

Thus, to avoid trouble, even if they know this isn’t good, none opt to stop Jiang Chen.

Of course, the main reason is that such an act would offend many, and if it displeases Jiang Chen, who could withstand his retaliation? Avoidance keeps them out of trouble, so naturally, no one acts.

...

......

Time flies, and soon five hundred years have passed. During these five hundred years, both the Immortal World and the Nine States have enjoyed a rare peace.

In the Immortal World, Jiang Chen has been wholeheartedly helping the Human Race there to switch to Ancient Martial Arts, with no energy to spare for other matters.

As long as he doesn’t stir up trouble, the other Great Divine Transcendents remain passive, ensuring peace in the Immortal World.

In the Nine States, Jiang Chen’s original self is cooperating with other Great Divine Transcendents to remold the Heaven Court and set up formations, leaving no energy for other affairs, ensuring no disputes arise.

In contrast, the various realms have grown more chaotic over the past five hundred years due to the influx of numerous Human Race prodigies, even resulting in several changes in realm masters.

Still, though the Human Race prodigies are strong, the native forces of the realms are not weak. Although they’ve suffered some losses overall, the Human Race prodigies haven’t gained much advantage.

But this situation won’t last long. It’s important to note that over half of the Human Race prodigies Jiang Chen sent to all heavens and myriad worlds are practicing Ancient Martial Arts.

Although Ancient Martial Arts offer quick mastery, they can’t allow them to dominate all heavens and myriad worlds within a few hundred years. Experience indicates the peak period for Ancient Martial Artists is between three thousand to eight thousand years old.

Before three thousand years, their realm is too low, and their power is limited. After eight thousand years, if they fail to achieve the Dao Venerable Realm, their strength will decline, requiring them to consume their lifespan to unleash their peak power.

Thus, overall, five thousand years is when an Ancient Martial Artist is at their peak.

Five hundred years is too short; given a few thousand more years to develop, they could inflict severe losses on the countless worlds without Jiang Chen’s intervention. Given tens of thousands of years, they might even change the leadership of all worlds.

Yet, the hidden dangers of Ancient Martial Arts are indeed troublesome and require a solution. These are Human Race prodigies; if they can only live ten thousand years, briefly passing like meteors, that would be a great pity, and a method to extend their lifespans must be sought.

The Universal Creation Pill pioneered by the Human Demon can indeed extend the lifespans of Ancient Martial Artists. However, it’s difficult to produce, and not to mention the damage it does to the natural order, it requires strong beings from myriad races as ingredients.

But how many strong beings do myriad races have, and how many Ancient Martial Artists does the Human Race have? Even if all myriad races are killed, the produced pills wouldn’t suffice for the Human Race. Thus, this method is not viable, as it could only save a few but can’t extend all Ancient Martial Artists’ lifespans.

...

"Even if we could extend their lifespans by a thousand years, it would be beneficial."

In the Immortal World, after nearly a thousand years, Jiang Chen finally managed to transform all members of the Human Race there into Ancient Martial Artists. Then, he began to worry about the future of Ancient Martial Artists.

Ancient Martial Artists, if they cannot become Innate Dao Sovereigns, can only live up to ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years, how fleeting, for a Great Divine Transcendent, it’s merely a blink of an eye. And to become an Innate Dao Sovereign within ten thousand years is as challenging as ascending to the heavens for mortals.

Since the advent of Ancient Martial Arts, spanning the Ancient Era, distant antiquity, and Ancient Times, across countless millennia, countless in the Human Race have practiced this path, yet those who achieved the Dao Venerable Realm since ancient times number less than nine hundred.

This shows how difficult this path is!

Currently, through Jiang Chen’s efforts, the number of Human Race members practicing Ancient Martial Arts has reached a peak, with all Human Race members in the Immortal World becoming Ancient Martial Artists.

Although not as exaggerated in the Nine States, under Jiang Chen’s promotion, Ancient Martial Arts have gradually become mainstream, the preferred choice of the younger generation.

With so many practicing Ancient Martial Arts, it creates an illusion of exceptional prosperity for the Human Race. If new people continue to practice Ancient Martial Arts, this thriving scene can be maintained.

However, if there’s a break in the continuity, the consequences could be disastrous. Once the last batch of Ancient Martial Artists ages, the apparent prosperity of the Human Race will collapse.

Will the line of succession for Ancient Martial Arts break? The answer is certainly yes. If no cultivation system can achieve immortality, then Ancient Martial Arts naturally become the preferred choice.

But when other cultivation systems can achieve immortality, yet Ancient Martial Arts cannot, it will eventually decline, replaced by other systems. Such was the fate of Ancient Martial Arts in the past.

The desire for immortality surpasses even the pursuit of power. Not to mention that other cultivation systems can also provide great power.

Simply put, Ancient Martial Arts are only practical in emergencies. Once peace is restored, it won’t take long for them to be eliminated.

Now, with the revival of Ancient Martial Arts among the Human Race, this resurgence has brought a flourishing scene back to the Human Race. Jiang Chen, not wishing for the decline of Ancient Martial Arts and seeking to extend this prosperity, must find a way to extend the lifespans of Ancient Martial Artists.

By enhancing the lifespans of Ancient Martial Artists, a cycle of continuous practice can naturally attract one generation after another to cultivate Ancient Martial Arts, prolonging the prosperity of the Human Race.

"Alas, the strength of Ancient Martial Artists is built on burning life. How can it be easy to increase their lifespan?"

"Any elixir that increases lifespan will be converted into power by Ancient Martial Artists, not longevity."

Jiang Chen, being an Ancient Martial Artist himself, understands Ancient Martial Arts intimately. Increasing their lifespans is indeed difficult; currently, only the Human Demon has succeeded, and his method is not widely applicable.

In these nearly thousand years, aside from spreading the path, Jiang Chen has been researching how to extend the lifespans of Ancient Martial Artists, but he has yet to find any clues.

Fortunately, due to his remolding of the Boundless Starry Sky, causing temporal changes in the Prehistoric World, reverting to the Ancient Era.

Now, one day is equivalent to a previous year, giving him ample time to contemplate this matter.
