Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1638: One Thousand and Sixty-Nine Stratagems of the Martial Ancestor

"Reviving Taiyi but not reviving Di Jun is indeed a good idea. However, I worry that with only Brother Taiyi alone, he may not be a match for the Star Lord."

"Although Brother Taiyi is extraordinarily gifted, he has been fallen for far too long, already lagging behind by several eras. Having just been resurrected, the likelihood of his strength surpassing the Star Lord is quite low."

"We have paid such a great price to bring Brother Taiyi back, yet if he turns out to not be the Star Lord’s opponent, that would be a complete joke."

Someone spoke with no small concern, as this scenario was not without precedent; on the contrary, the probability of it happening was rather high. It was a legitimate concern for everyone involved.

"This is not an issue. If Brother Taiyi’s strength is inferior to the Star Lord’s, we can find ways to improve his power."

"For instance, when the future Immortal World is successfully established, there will undoubtedly need to be someone to take charge. And between Heaven and Earth, is there anyone more suitable than Brother Taiyi for such a role?"

"After reviving Brother Taiyi, we can nominate him as the ruler of the Dongsheng Divine Continent, thereby making him the master of the future Immortal World and the Supreme Immortal Emperor."

"In this way, with the blessings of Immortal Dao’s Fate, Brother Taiyi’s strength will inevitably undergo a transformation; it is not necessarily weaker than the Star Lord’s."

The Great Divine Transcendent who proposed reviving Taiyi shook his head confidently and spoke assuredly. Since he dared to propose this plan, it was certain that he had already considered every detail.

Taiyi being inferior to the Star Lord? Impossible.

And even if it were true, they would exhaust every possible method to enhance Taiyi’s strength.

He simply did not believe it. With so many Great Divine Transcendents present, combined with the forces and Fate they controlled, pooling everything to enhance Taiyi’s strength, they surely could elevate his power to contend with Jiang Chen.

The Human Race may have abundant Fate, but theirs was not lacking either. Combined, it might not even fall far behind that of the Human Race.

"What the Daoist friend says makes sense. Let’s do it!"

After some thought, everyone nodded in agreement, their faces lighting up with approval.

They were unwilling to make Di Jun the Immortal Emperor, but they supported Taiyi taking on the role without hesitation.

Because Taiyi was too unique. In the eyes of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents, Taiyi was the true disciple who had received the Taoist Ancestor’s authentic teachings.

Thus, Taiyi’s status in the hearts of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents was even higher than that of the Saints.

When it came to the Taoist Ancestor’s true disciple, they looked to Taiyi. As for the Sanqing, they merely benefited from their background, having not truly received the Taoist Ancestor’s authentic teachings.

Such thoughts were not without reason. Ever since the Taoist Ancestor’s preaching of the Tao, Taiyi had been the only one to attain the status of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial through the method of Slaying Three Corpses, just like the Taoist Ancestor himself.

Even the method of achieving enlightenment was the same. Was it not evident who had truly inherited the Taoist Ancestor’s teachings?

The Sanqing might have been the Taoist Ancestor’s nominal true disciples, but in everyone’s heart, Taiyi was the Taoist Ancestor’s de facto true disciple.

Therefore, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect implicitly regarded Donghuang Taiyi as their leader and were not particularly supportive of the Saints.

With this mindset, they had no objections to nominating Taiyi as the Immortal Emperor. It was an honor he rightfully deserved.

Surveying the entire Prehistoric World, there seemed to be no one more suitable than Taiyi to ascend as the Immortal Emperor.

An Immortal Emperor, the ruler of Immortal Dao, must embody the culmination of Immortal Dao. If the chosen Immortal Emperor did not follow the orthodox path of Slaying Three Corpses to achieve enlightenment, the entire Immortal Dao would likely become a laughing stock. fгeewebnovёl.com

Taiyi was the only one who had achieved enlightenment through Slaying Three Corpses; hence, if an Immortal Emperor were to be chosen, there could be no other candidate. Not even the Saints were qualified to compete for it.

No matter how powerful the Saints were, they had not attained their status through Slaying Three Corpses. How could they claim the right to represent the orthodoxy of Immortal Dao?

"Choosing Brother Taiyi has another advantage, which is that Brother Taiyi and the Star Lord are already locked in a contest of the Dao, with no possibility of reconciliation. They are destined to fight to the death."

"According to the information previously revealed by the Star Lord, the method to refine the Chaos Bell is hidden within the stars. Once the Star Lord fully reconstructs the Boundless Starry Sky, he will inevitably be able to refine the Chaos Bell anew."

"In such a scenario, how could Brother Taiyi possibly tolerate it? If the Star Lord isn’t suppressed, the Chaos Bell in his hands will become useless."

"Thus, even without mentioning the enmity between the Human Race and the Demon Clan, the relationship between the Star Lord and Taiyi leaves no room for resolution."

"In contrast, Di Jun has far deeper schemes and is extremely adept at patience. If he were revived, he might very well suppress his hatred for the Star Lord for the sake of the greater picture and choose to hide away, quietly recovering his strength instead of seeking vengeance immediately."

Fearing that reviving Taiyi might not be persuasive enough, another Great Divine Transcendent spoke up, patiently analyzing the pros and cons to convince everyone present.

"At this point, whether we like it or not, we have no other choice. Reviving Brother Taiyi is our only option for dealing with the Star Lord. We have no alternatives left."

"The sooner we proceed, the better. Since everyone has reached a decision, there’s no time to lose. Let us begin now."

"The earlier we revive Brother Taiyi, the sooner he can begin regaining his strength."

The Great Divine Transcendents present were all decisive individuals. Once a decision had been made, they immediately began taking action.

"That makes perfect sense. Let us return to our respective Taoist Fields and prepare the resources needed to revive Brother Taiyi. Three years from now, we will gather in the chaos beyond the heavens and bring Brother Taiyi back to life there."

Everyone nodded in agreement and dispersed one after another.

Reviving a Quasi-Saint was no trivial matter, requiring an enormous amount of resources. Let alone reviving someone like Taiyi, a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, the resources needed were nearly equivalent in value to an Innate Treasure.
