Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 175 - 172: The Great Ancient Kun Mu and the Hidden History of the Human Race (5000)

Chapter 175: Chapter 172: The Great Ancient Kun Mu and the Hidden History of the Human Race (5000)

The existence who pointed that finger back in the day is unquestionably powerful, far beyond imagination.

Therefore, even though countless eons have passed, the scent of extinction at the wound of the gray wolf has not faded. It is still there, continuously eroding the wolf’s vitality.

What just happened, the collapse of the gray wolf’s consciousness, was due to the resonance of the Absolute Divine Art demonstrated by Jiang Chen and the Divine Ability left by that existence on the wolf.

The Dao Rhyme of absolute obliteration spread, directly obliterating the gray wolf’s consciousness from afar.

Powerful!

After endless eons, the remnant of its Divine Ability can still influence the present, so powerful that it is beyond Jiang Chen’s imagination.

Perhaps, this is the legendary greatest achiever in the Ancient Martial Arts lineage.

...

His gaze moved forward, and then, Jiang Chen saw a massive tree blocking out the sun. The tree was so tall that its height was incomparable, as tall as the azure sky in this small world, like a pillar holding up heaven and earth.

The body of the gray wolf lies beneath this giant tree.

Now, Jiang Chen understood why the corpse of the gray wolf, despite being dead for so long, still looked as if it had just died. All this is due to this divine tree, named Kun Mu.

After seeing this divine tree for the first time, Jiang Chen, through the inheritance of Emperor Xi, recognized its origin.

The divine tree of the Great Ancient Heavenly Court, known as Ancient Kun Mu. It was born before heaven and earth, with dragon patterns on its surface and mysterious runes inherently contained. It is rich in divine nature and a bridge connecting Heaven, Earth, and humans, known as the Heaven-reaching Divine Tree.

This tree, along with Jian Mu, is called the Heaven-reaching divine wood. The difference is, Kun Mu earned its fame much earlier than Jian Mu. It was Di Jun who planted it in the ancient heavenly court to communicate between heaven, earth, and humans.

The Kun Mu that Jiang Chen currently sees obviously cannot be the real Kun Mu. The original body of this divine tree was destroyed in the battle between witch and demons, by those terrifying remnants of Divine Powers, shattered into fragments.

The Kun Mu of the gray wolf should be one of the larger fragments of the original Kun Mu.

Exactly because of the existence of this Innate Divine Tree, constantly instilling life forces into the gray wolf’s corpse, preserving the vitality of his corpse.

So it is not decomposed due to long-term decay.

At this moment, Jiang Chen began to doubt the origin of the gray wolf. Perhaps as the gray wolf had previously said, it is truly ancient, dating back to the primitive era in the distant past.

...

Unexpectedly, the virtuous image of the gray wolf materialized on the Innate Kun Mu, staring at Jiang Chen’s consciousness and said:

"Do you see? The wound on my forehead is the irreconcilable hatred I have with the Human Race."

The gray wolf’s condition is even more severe than what Jiang Chen imagined. He was not severely injured, but already fallen.

In the unknown era of the ancient times, a pointer from the great power of the human race not only eroded the vitality of the gray wolf but also shattered his soul within.

Luckily, the gray wolf obtained a fragment of the Innate Kun Mu from somewhere. Only by relying on its power, he was able to retain a trace of soul, surviving till today.

The ethereal image of the gray wolf on the Innate Kun Mu is the manifestation of his remnant soul.

...

Morphing his consciousness into a human form, Jiang Chen asked, "May I ask, senior, where are you from? What grudges do you have with my Human Race?"

Hearing this, the gray wolf fell silent. Lost in his thoughts, he seemed to recall the glory of the past. After a while, he finally spoke:

"I am the son of the Demon God Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf and the Demon God Desert Grey Hawk, with the blood of two Daluo Dao Lords flowing in me, making me extraordinary from birth. Even though I’m not as good as Innate Divine Demon, I’m not far behind."

"When I was born, the Heavenly Court was still in existence, and the Demon Clan had not yet declined. In my early years, I was with the offspring of other Demon Gods, listening and learning in the court of Donghuang."

"At that time, I was under the impression that since both my parents were Dao Lords, coupled with the guidance of Donghuang, I would be able to transcend destiny and reach the realm of Daluo Dao Lord in this life."

"Unfortunately, before my ascension, the war between witches and demons erupted. The vast heavenly court collapsed overnight. I did not participate in the war, but I also suffered the backlash of the fate of the heavenly court. Hence, there is no chance for me to ascend to the Dao Lord’s position."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and chose to achieve the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although this realm is far from comparable to Daluo Dao Lord, there is still a possibility of enlightenment."

"I secluded myself for hundreds of thousands of years and finally shook off the influence brought to me by the backlash of the heavenly court’s fate, and successfully refined into Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"At that time, I was quite proud, feeling that both the heavens and earth were at my disposal. So, I returned to the Prehistoric World, ready to let the world feel the majesty of the Demon Clan again."

"And then, I met Wu Huai."

"I only ate a few humans, but he wanted to kill me. I didn’t accept it, so a great battle ensued."

When it got here, the gray wolf suddenly laughed, with a tone full of desolation, as if it harbored endless frustration.

"Haha!"

"It’s laughable to say. I practiced for nearly a million years to finally reach the one I am now. But my million-year cultivation was no match for Wu Huai’s tens of thousands of years of cultivation. I was pointed and killed by him!"

"It was just a finger, he just lightly pointed, and all my nearly a million years of cultivation was wasted. My life force was extinguished, my soul was shattered, and only a trace of soul was left to survive to this day."

"Wu Huai ruined everything about me with one finger, can you say, can I not hate him?"

It seemed like he hadn’t spoken to anyone for a long time, as the gray wolf started to talk incessantly once he started speaking, telling not only his origins but also the course of his injury.
