Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 147 - 146: Going Home After Taking Advantage

Women are like tigers, devouring men down to the bone.

Women are calamitous, only hindering solitary practice.

Avoid women, avoid women!

Thinking of the dreadfulness of women, Jiang Chen ignored the women’s jeering. In his mind, he swiftly eradicated all their patterns.

Next, he was seen forming hand seals and demonstrating a unique Taoist method, transforming the myriad forms of all creation into endless illusory realms, which enveloped all the women.

In an instant, various bizarre landscapes flashed before the women’s eyes, leaving their spirits in a hazy state.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve, producing endless clouds that engulfed the mountains, obscured the sun and moon, making everything invisible.

"Blend with the Light and Dust!" The idea crossed his mind, and another unique Taoist method appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

Combine with its light, mingle with its dust, this is called the Mysterious Same.

As soon as this Divine Ability was used, the aura on Jiang Chen’s body underwent changes, gradually blending with the surrounding environment. Then, his figure disappeared as if into thin air.

He had run away.

If he didn’t run now, it would be too late.

...

After a while, the women struggled free from the illusory realm. They saw nothing but endless clouds, vaguely silhouettes, dreamlike celestial scenery, and insubstantial mirages, nothing was clear.

They dispelled the clouds with a gust created by their magical power. Looking around, they saw nothing but emptiness. Jiang Chen’s trace was nowhere to be found.

"Yu Dou, I won’t let you off!" The celestial maiden in red roared resentfully, put away her magic sword, turned around, and flew towards Heaven Court.

At the same time, she didn’t forget to invite the other girls, "Ladies, let’s go. Let’s ask the old man about the origin of the cunning Taoist."

...

...

Let’s leave aside the ten celestial maidens and talk about Jiang Chen. After he left the Washing Filth Spring, he did not return directly to Jiang Family.

He toured around several Taoist bases and several monster king’s territories before leisurely heading back to the Jiang Family.

Alas, the ten celestial maidens are looking for Yu Dou of the Taoist family. What has that got to do with me, Jiang Chen of Jiang Family’s unicorn?

Just investigate, take your time to investigate. When they can’t find anything, this matter will eventually settle down.

Time can erase everything.

...

After enjoying food outside for several days, Jiang Chen leisurely returned to the Jiang family, planning to seclude himself for a period, and to consolidate his recent learning.

However, just as he had arrived to Jiang Family and not yet returned to his home, he was summoned by Jiang Family’s eldest ancestor, Jiang Xuan.

As soon as he arrived near the Jiang Family treasury, from a distance, Jiang Chen saw Jiang Xuan’s figure and quickly greeted him with a grin, "Old Ancestor, did you call me?"

Seeing Jiang Chen, Jiang Xuan’s eyes lit up, and he exaggeratedly said, "Oh, look who it is! It’s the Sinful Buddha, come, take a seat."

Jiang Chen’s huge deed in Xiniuhe Continent couldn’t possibly be kept from the Jiang Family. They got the news at the first moment, followed by a moment of speechless shock.

It was really shocking.

How on earth did Jiang Chen suddenly become a Buddha?

It doesn’t make sense!

When he left home, Jiang Chen was just one of the cultivators struggling in the mortal world. But not long after he arrived in Xiniuhe Continent, he ascended to heaven and became a Buddha according to the divine mandate.

This ...

The path of destiny is really mysterious, unpredictable and hard to see through.

With an awkward smile, Jiang Chen responded with a hint of embarrassment, "Old Ancestor, stop teasing me. While the title of Sinful Buddha sounds impressive, I don’t think I’ll live long enough to become a true Buddha."

It’s not a joke. The Sinful Buddha, the Buddha of sin questioning, attracted too much hatred from the monks. Nowadays, I don’t know how many monks from the Buddhist door wish I, this esteemed and grand Buddha, would just die.

Ah, these monks, they’re all sinful!

One day, when I have a chance, I’ll have to catch each of them into the Buddha Hell.

Seeing Jiang Chen understanding the gravity of the situation, Jiang Xuan stopped teasing him, only issuing a stern warning, "As long as you know what kind of situation you are in, it’s better to stay away from Xiniuhe Continent before mastering the Ancient Martial Arts, so as to avoid being killed secretly."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Jiang Chen understands."

He has no plans to return to Xiniuhe Continent. With the presence of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, the situation is already stabilized. He should focus on his practice.

Remembering why he was here, Jiang Chen asked, "By the way, Old Ancestor, why did you call me over?"

Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed onward, "Huh, your reward from the Heavenly Court has arrived, go and take a look yourself."

Following the direction Jiang Xuan was pointing, Jiang Chen saw two chests.

"The reward from Heaven Court? What’s inside?" Curious, Jiang Chen got up and walked over.

Heaven Court is rich and powerful, so they wouldn’t just randomly give him something as a reward.

Walking over, Jiang Chen saw a yellow silk on top of the box. He casually took it up and opened it.

Wow!

It was an Imperial Decree!

It was filled with innate divine characters that roughly meant, Jiang Chen’s contribution in demon suppression was rewarded with the title of Demon Suppression Heavenly God, allowing him to command a camp, and blessing him with a hundred golden flowers, a hundred bright pearls, and a hundred jars of divine brew.

Well, all are good stuff.

Let’s not talk about golden flowers, bright pearls, and divine brew. As for the divine position, being merely a Demon Suppression Heavenly God doesn’t count for much.

In the entire Heavenly Court, there are at least thousands of them, so it’s not particularly prominent.

But behind the Demon Suppression Heavenly God, there was a phrase, allowing him to lead a camp. This has made the divine position valuable.

It’s the same as a general having or not having actual power. These are two fundamentally different concepts.

The army of the Heavenly Court is rather similar to that of the mortal world. Five soldiers make a squad, ten make a section, fifty make a group, a hundred make a platoon, two hundreds make a company, a thousand make a battalion, three thousand make a regiment, and ten thousand make a division.

As a Demon Suppression Heavenly God, he was able to command a regiment, meaning he could command three thousand soldiers. These three thousand soldiers, Jiang Chen can select from the recruits of Heavenly Court, or he can recruit his own men.

The weakest of the Heavenly Soldiers also possess the realm of Earth Immortal. These three thousand Earth Immortals, combined with Qin Nu’s girdle obtained by Jiang Chen from the Great Qin’s treasury, can at least form a small force.

Moreover, it’s not specified that the heavenly soldiers can only be Earth Immortals. If you’re capable enough, even a Golden Immortal can serve under you.

...

"Ah, so I have to serve in Heaven Court!" Normally if he acquired a divine position, Jiang Chen would brag a bit. But now, thinking of the ten celestial maidens, he couldn’t bring himself to feel happy about it.

Now, he’s trying his best to avoid the ten celestial maidens. How could he dare to go to their territory to serve as an official? It would be so awkward if they accidentally met.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s unwilling face, the cunning old Jiang Xuan probably guessed what was going on. He looked Jiang Chen up and down, and said with a strange voice, "Tsk tsk, you young lad don’t have much skill, but you are quite adept at causing trouble."
