Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1664: One thousand eighty-two Demon World

Jiang Chen had a premonition—he wouldn’t need to do anything; when the time was right, the Gate of Primordial Chaos would appear before him on its own.

Thus, his main concern about forging the Hongmeng Killing Array was how to acquire the Heavenly Lamp and Human Lamp.

Jiang Chen had already benefited greatly from the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Saint of Taiqing, these two Saints. No matter how open-hearted they were, they ought to be on guard by now. In other words, trying to take advantage of them again would be quite difficult.

"Forcible seizure won’t work—I’ll have to negotiate an exchange of benefits."

Jiang Chen understood that after losing the Central Wutu Apricot Yellow Flag, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would likely use only the Celestial Cloud and the Pangu Banner, these two supreme treasures, when facing him moving forward—they wouldn’t risk losing anything else.

To Jiang Chen, this was logical: in the face of someone as formidable as himself, unless an Innate Treasure was brought forth, then whether it was an Innate Spiritual Treasure or anything else, it was nothing more than a generous gift handed to him.

Thus, the simplest way for Jiang Chen to obtain the Heavenly Lamp and Human Lamp was to pinpoint the vulnerabilities of the two Saints or propose conditions that would move them. Only by doing so could he trade for these two treasures.

While contemplating this, Jiang Chen had already taken out the Innate Four Symbols Array Map and, employing supreme Divine Ability, shattered it, turning it into pure Innate Original Source material, which he sealed within the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, formed by the Innate Heaven and Earth Creation Grand Formation.

Then, he placed the Heaven and Earth Cauldron atop the summit of Sumeru Mountain. His motive was to gather the power of the Three Talents between Heaven and Earth, thereby refining the Four Symbols Map into an Innate Three Talents Dao Platform.

The so-called Three Talents are the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens; water, fire, and wind on the earth; and vitality, essence, and spirit within humans.

What Jiang Chen aimed to accomplish was to simultaneously converge the power of the Three Talents—sun, moon, stars; water, fire, wind; and vitality, essence, spirit. This endeavor could be said to be both extremely difficult and straightforward.

Sumeru Mountain combined with Kunlun Mountain represented the Two Instruments of Heaven and Earth. But if Mount Buzhou were added, it would then embody Heaven, Earth, and Human—the Three Talents. Jiang Chen was now orchestrating the simultaneous power of these three mountains to bring about the birth of the Innate Three Talents Dao Platform.

Once Mount Buzhou reappeared, the Innate Three Talents Dao Platform would finally solidify. For Jiang Chen, this day wasn’t far off—the Nine States’ transformation had already progressed to the brink of reshaping Mount Buzhou.

"The forging of the Hongmeng Killing Sword has also entered the proper trajectory. The next step is simply a matter of enduring a long wait."

After finishing his work on the Innate Three Talents Dao Platform, Jiang Chen cast a glance at the Taichu Dutian Pure Yang set of three Innate Divine Swords. Their sharpness already far surpassed what it had been before, and faintly, they showed signs of merging into one.

This indicated that the birth of the supreme Hongmeng Killing Sword was now merely a matter of time.

With all his ongoing matters handled, Jiang Chen finally had time to examine the Demon Ancestor’s imprint left on Sumeru Mountain.

Compared to before, the power of the Demon Ancestor imprint had grown stronger.

It was a natural outcome: with the reconstruction of Sumeru Mountain, the Demon Ancestor imprint, as part of the mountain, had likewise benefited, becoming more complete.

In fact, the strengthening of the Demon Ancestor imprint was, for Jiang Chen, a favorable development.

Standing amidst the demonic imprint, Jiang Chen fully opened his mind, allowing the deep and pitch-black demonic aura to surge toward him, resonating with the residual Primordial Demonic intent within his own body.

Several hundred years ago, Jiang Chen had fought a great battle against the avatar of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord. At the time, Jiang Chen’s cultivation had been far inferior, but he had leveraged the power of an array to refine the avatar, using it as resources to advance himself.

Yet the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, who had roamed the Prehistoric World for countless years and remained undefeated, was no simple figure. Though his avatar had been refined by Jiang Chen, he had strategically left behind a hidden threat within Jiang Chen’s body.

A profoundly deep demonic intent had embedded itself in Jiang Chen’s body, imperceptibly concealed, resisting all efforts to eradicate it.

For the longest time, this demonic intent posed no direct threat to Jiang Chen.

However, should Jiang Chen ever suffer grave injury and approach the brink of death, this demonic intent would erupt instantly, attempting to corrupt him and wrest control of his body, transforming him into a vessel for the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord. freёnovelkiss.com

Nonetheless, while the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was unfathomable, Jiang Chen was no less so; his skills had reached a level where he could outright disregard the demonic intent.

Still, with such a malignant force hidden within him, it was ultimately an unwelcome risk. Thus, Jiang Chen decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity and rid himself of this demonic intent completely, leaving his body free of any threats.

It was true that the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord possessed extraordinary prowess in the Demonic Way, earning the title of the Second-generation Demon Ancestor. Yet he wasn’t the strongest in the Demonic Way, as above him stood Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

If there was anyone in the world capable of fully nullifying the Divine Ability of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, it was only Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

In this Prehistoric World, the creator of a path determined the ultimate limit of that path’s strength—unless a later practitioner transcended the path, surpassing the original framework, no one could exceed the creator’s power.

Clearly, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord had yet to surpass the structure of the Demonic Way established by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. As such, he could never match Luo Hou’s prowess.

The Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao similarly remained within the framework of the Immortal Dao created by the Taoist Ancestors, thus proving no match for the Taoist Ancestors.

Jiang Chen, however, had undergone multiple transformations. Not only had he completely broken free from the Great Ancient Martial Arts system, but he had transcended the framework laid out by Pangu. Because of this, he now possessed truly infinite potential, even the possibility of surpassing the Pangu Great God.

Violent demonic energy rampaged within Jiang Chen’s body. The scarcely detectable Primordial demonic intent hidden deep inside was drawn by this energy, awakening abruptly and erupting like a volcano, spreading throughout Jiang Chen in an instant.

"The demonic corruption Divine Ability of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord is indeed formidable—worthy of a true master of manipulating human hearts."
