Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1633 - 1066 Battle End_2

This is also why some Mystic Sect Great Divine Transcendents, without establishing a doctrine, choose to retreat to Kunlun Mountain.

Since Kunlun is the ancestral land of the Mystic Sect, as disciples of the Mystic Sect enter it, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign naturally has no reason to block them.

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign spoke with the intent to resonate with the Saint of Taiqing, thus forming an alliance to pressure Jiang Chen to relinquish Kunlun Mountain.

However, unexpectedly, upon hearing the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s words, the Saint of Taiqing shook his head solemnly and pointed out the flaw in his words:

"Second brother, you misunderstand. Even if Kunlun Mountain falls into the hands of Jiang Chen, it is not considered a loss. It remains our Mystic Sect’s ancestral land and still under the control of the Sanqing; it’s merely a change of master."

As soon as the Saint of Taiqing’s words were spoken, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign couldn’t help but retort, "Why is it not considered a loss if Jiang Chen seizes Kunlun Mountain..."

Only halfway through the sentence, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign found himself unable to continue.

Because he realized, what the Saint of Taiqing said was true. Kunlun Mountain falling into Jiang Chen’s hands indeed was not a loss since Jiang Chen is also one of the Sanqing.

"Second brother, although over these years, it has been you managing Kunlun Mountain, in reality, Kunlun Mountain is the joint property of the Sanqing."

"Though the third brother and I have long moved away, that was because we did not want to contest with you, not implying that Kunlun Mountain entirely belongs to you."

"As long as the Sanqing does not sever relations completely, Kunlun Mountain remains jointly owned by the Sanqing, and no one can change that."

"On Kunlun Mountain, the three Sanqing Divine Palaces, formed by the power of Heaven and Earth, stand as testimony."

"Since Kunlun Mountain belongs to the Sanqing jointly, Jiang Chen has a reason to seize Kunlun Mountain. He is the direct disciple of the third brother, displeased with your years of dominion over Kunlun Mountain. What’s wrong with him taking Kunlun Mountain from you?"

"Why should your Yu Qing lineage monopolize Kunlun Mountain, and the Shangqing lineage cannot? Where is the reason in that?"

"The emperor takes turns; this year it is our home’s turn. This phrase indeed holds reason. You could be the master of Kunlun Mountain, and naturally, he Jiang Chen can be too."

The Saint of Taiqing sighed lightly; he felt it necessary to make the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign recognize this fact.

If it went to court with Honjan Daizu, even there the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would find no justice. Indeed, the Taoist Ancestor would potentially reprimand the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign for lacking magnanimity.

Considering Jiang Chen is the direct disciple of the Upper Qing Saints, Kunlun Mountain partially belongs to him as well. Not allowing Jiang Chen to touch Kunlun Mountain indeed seems too excessive.

The Saint of Taiqing, fully aware of this, didn’t exhibit strong emotions regarding Jiang Chen’s seizure of Kunlun Mountain, finding it challenging to empathize with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. He couldn’t utter words condemning Jiang Chen’s actions as doing so would be denying himself.

As his disciple, like Jiang Chen, also holds the right to inherit Kunlun Mountain.

"..."

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was conflicted because he discovered he had no justifiable reason to oppose Jiang Chen.

Good lord, originally Jiang Chen seizing Kunlun Mountain seemed excessive, yet the Saint of Taiqing’s explanation turned it to being excessive of him, forced Jiang Chen to seize Kunlun Mountain.

Good lord, good lord. The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign could only murmur "good lord" in his heart; it all ended up being his fault. As the victim, he suddenly became the perpetrator.

The feeling...

At this moment, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s feelings are truly indescribable.

"Second brother, let’s just let it go. If Jiang Chen wants to take Kunlun Mountain, let him take it, and retrieve it back once the confinement order is lifted."

Seeing the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign in such distress, the Saint of Taiqing continued to persuade.

The implication in his words, while outwardly advising the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, in reality was enlightening him that since the situation has unfolded as it has, causing further fuss would yield no result and would only bring more embarrassment upon oneself due to current inability to counter Jiang Chen.

Rather than amplifying the issue and becoming a laughing stock, it is better to act generously, handing over Kunlun Mountain to Jiang Chen, and waiting for an opportunity to recover it in the future.

"This is the only option."

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign thought for a moment and realized he had no better option, hence accepting the advice of the Saint of Taiqing.

"It’s good you could understand, second brother."

"In fact, Jiang Chen taking Kunlun Mountain away could be a favorable development for us."

"Although we currently intend to bet on the Immortal World, from our standpoint, it indeed is more appropriate to support remodeling the Prehistoric World."

"Hence, I say Jiang Chen taking Kunlun Mountain serves us well, equivalent to supporting the plan of remodeling the Prehistoric World."

The Saint of Taiqing continued analyzing for the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign; the reasoning was tantamount to dual betting. Supporting the establishment of both the Immortal World and remodeling the Prehistoric World, leaving no route unchecked.

Kunlun Mountain, now being the first among the divine mountain of the Prehistoric World, being given to Jiang Chen indicates a significant level of support.

While they the two Saints have conjointly decided to help the group of Great Divine Transcendents in Dongsheng Divine Continent establish the Immortal World, representing enough influence on that side as well.

"Elder brother makes sense, but if the fellow Daoists of Dongsheng Divine Continent inquire, how should we explain?"

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign found the Saint of Taiqing’s strategy appealing, with dual betting ensuring grand benefits regardless of who triumphs in the future. However, explaining dual betting to allies poses a challenge.

"No need for explanation, Jiang Chen’s strength is evident; we indeed have no way to handle him, it wasn’t by our wish Kunlun Mountain was taken, all efforts to prevent it were made but fruitlessly."

"If they have queries, let them try reclaiming Kunlun Mountain and see if they possess the capability."

The Saint of Taiqing indifferently remarked; he wasn’t fazed by potential criticisms of sitting on the fence, believing the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign genuinely exerted himself in the matter. Notice, even his avatar was severed, and magic treasures lost, which yet seemed insufficient effort?

As to why claiming Kunlun Mountain was ’given’ to Jiang Chen, despite him actually seizing it, was because they were strong enough to do so!

Similarly, if now, the Saint of Taiqing fully awakened the Tai Chi Diagram, it might have forbidded Jiang Chen from moving Kunlun Mountain, yet he didn’t.

Because of this very reason, the Saint of Taiqing asserting that Kunlun Mountain was a gift bestowed to Jiang Chen posed absolutely no problem.

Whoever is stronger is justified, such is the Prehistoric World.

Though currently, Jiang Chen seems to have the upper hand, the reality prevails that his strength hasn’t yet surpassed the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Saint of Taiqing.

Therefore, even while gaining advantages, Jiang Chen suffers from hidden losses facing the duo.

Had Jiang Chen obtained the Primordial Chaos Perfection of strength now, the Saint of Taiqing might not have spoken thus for no one would have believed, maintaining the perception that Kunlun Mountain was indeed seized by force.

"Jiang Chen got the better deal, though Kunlun Mountain and even my assets could be given to him, however, my disciples must not go to him."

Suddenly, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign interjected.

Now that Kunlun Mountain was lost, he hardly cared about the possessions on the mountain anymore, but didn’t intend to allow his painstakingly nurtured disciples to fall into Jiang Chen’s hands no way.

"Yes, we shall go now and bring them back."

The Saint of Taiqing nodded slightly, dispatching a strand of divine thought toward the Three Realms.

...

......

Meanwhile, having suppressed the Central Wutu Yellow Banner, Jiang Chen, unimpeded by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, planned to re-execute his Divine Ability, relocating the entirety of Kunlun Mountain.

Having already severely offended the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, there was naturally no need to leave the mountain to him.

Furthermore, intending to relocate it all, it wasn’t simply about the one hundred and eight peaks of Kunlun, but thousands of nearby innate spiritual peaks were also to be moved along with.

Formed from chaotic primordial energy, these innate spiritual peaks, though not equating the one hundred and eight peaks of Kunlun, ranked as top-tier within Heaven and Earth and were rare to be found among the Human Race.

"Jiang Chen, since you desire it, Kunlun Mountain is yours; after all, a part of it is yours. However, while Kunlun Mountain can be yours, surely you must release those disciples of Chan Teaching."
