Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1604: Fifty-two hidden dangers of the Qilin Clan_2
Chapter 1604: Fifty-two hidden dangers of the Qilin Clan_2
For instance, a mortal, in his lifetime, might never become an immortal, but if he forms a bond with a Qilin and gains its recognition as master, he could at least attain the realm of a Golden Immortal and secure a Dao Fruit of Longevity.
Mainly because if the bloodline of this Qilin is higher, even becoming an Innate Dao Monarch wouldn’t be impossible.
With such a neighbor by his side, how could Primordial Heavenly Sovereign not be tempted?
If from now on, his disciples upon joining could each obtain a Qilin as their mount, why would Chan Teaching worry about not flourishing? It would easily surpass the peak era of Jiejiao Sect.
Not just Primordial Heavenly Sovereign; the recluses residing in North Kunlun think so too. These secluded Mystic Sect masters, if they could subdue the Qilin Clan, could easily establish a powerful doctrine.
All the neighbors around them are eyeing them, wanting to reclaim them, wanting to enslave them; the situation of the Qilin Clan is imaginable.
For them to rise, that would be a miracle.
It’s only because the Qilin Clan still has the Holy Beast Qilin sitting firmly in place, out of respect for the Holy Beast’s majesty, even the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign dares not go too far, can only undertake small schemes covertly against the Qilin Clan.
If not for this, the Qilin Clan would have already been devoured skin and bone by others.
"This time, for the Qilin Clan, is a rare opportunity. It remains to be seen if they can seize it. If they can, they might be able to break free from the influence of Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. Not to say they will soar immediately, but at least they will break free from limitations and be at ease to grow stronger."
Looking towards the direction of Kunlun Mountains, Jiang Chen’s tone was inexplicable.
They are not the parties involved, so their tone is notably light, but for the Qilin Clan who are the actual parties, their mood is not as relaxed, but filled with heaviness.
This is a huge gamble, win it, and the Qilin Clan will break free from their plight. Lose it, and the Qilin Clan will undoubtedly thoroughly offend the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, making their future difficult. Not to mention developing, just ensuring their strength doesn’t decline would already be quite good.
"The Qilin Clan has no choice; their current situation, how much worse could it get? Now, by turning against Primordial Heavenly Sovereign with our help, they still have a fighting chance."
"But if they give up this opportunity, what awaits them is undoubtedly a slow death. Sooner or later, they will be completely devoured by the Mystic Sect, skin and bone."
Kong Xuan believed, if the Qilin Clan doesn’t want to wait for death, then they will agree to this plan no matter what.
Because this opportunity is truly too rare, a once in a millennium chance. It’s not everyone who has the courage to confront the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign directly, and if they don’t join hands with Jiang Chen this time, where else can they find someone similar to him next time?
Moreover, next time, the other four tribes might not fully assist the Qilin Clan anymore.
Although the Primordial Five Tribes are said to be of one breath and one branch, that also only applies when it doesn’t involve fundamental interests. Do not forget, in that extremely ancient era, there were deep mortal feuds between the three tribes.
The five tribes can work together this time because Jiang Chen is pulling the strings. If it were someone else, they might not have such prestige.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore, all decisions can only be made by the Qilin Clan themselves, no matter how much we talk it’s useless. After all, we can’t make choices for them."
As he said this, Jiang Chen’s tone revealed a hint of helplessness. This is the helplessness of being an ally; many underhanded methods can’t be used.
If it were another power with no relationship, things would be simpler. Since you can’t make a decision, then I will make one for you. Just use some tricks and force the Qilin Clan to turn against the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.
"Let’s not talk about the Qilin Clan now, let’s talk about how you plan to persuade the Black Tortoise Clan and White Tiger Clan."
The East Sea Dragon King changed the topic, speaking of the other two clans. He was curious how Jiang Chen would convince these clans, as he knew Jiang Chen shouldn’t have much to do with the White Tiger and Black Tortoise clans.
With that being the case, where would he get such confidence from?
"Quite simple, I don’t need to use anything, they will naturally agree. Don’t forget, whether it’s Northern Netherworld or Xiniuhe Continent, they are now under my jurisdiction."
Jiang Chen spoke with utmost confidence. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Indeed, with the territory of the Black Tortoise clan located in the Northern Netherworld, it now falls under his domain. Once he has spoken, the Black Tortoise clan has no choice but to agree, or else they would have to confront Jiang Chen.
As for the White Tiger Clan, their ancestral land is in the west, originally neighbors with the Demon Sect, and later next to the Buddhist door. During the Enshrinement Calamity, due to the fragmentation of Heaven and Earth, they successfully separated from the Xiniuhe Continent and became independent.
Even so, the habitat of the White Tiger clan is still not far from Xiniuhe Continent.
The White Tiger is the holy beast of the west, able to exert its strongest power only in the west, thus from ancient times till now, the White Tiger clan has always been fixated on the west.
But still, even when the west was damaged and the rulers changed, the White Tiger clan was still no match for them and has been unable to seize the western lands.
This time, with Jian Chen’s initiation, inviting the White Tiger clan to integrate their land into the Nine States, if the White Tiger clan agrees, they could take advantage of the situation to merge their ancestral land into Xiniuhe Continent, and then with the Nine States.
In doing so, they essentially gain control over the western lands—why would the White Tiger clan refuse?
The Five Elements Holy Beasts are aligned with the five directions of Heaven and Earth, not just for fun; only by staying in their respective positions can they display their strongest capabilities which significantly affects them.
"Gentlemen, it’s time to act. I believe it won’t be long before we hear from the other three clans. Even if we don’t, it won’t prevent us from merging first."
Jiang Chen stood up and spoke to the East Sea Dragon King and Kong Xuan, clearly implying that regardless of whether the other three clans agree, it was certain they would.
In that case, they might as well start moving first to merge their respective territories. This way, they could gain the benefits early and also create pressure on the other three clans to make a decision sooner.
"You make sense, we’ll prepare and head back now. It’s easier for the Dragon Clan, being next to the Human Race, but for my Phoenix Clan, it’s a bit far from the Human Race, relocating will take quite some time."
Kong Xuan stood up, bidding farewell to Jiang Chen.
The relationship between the Human Race and the Dragon Clan is the best for no small reason—it’s because they are too close.
When two powers are too close, after long interactions, they either have a very good or a very bad relationship; they can’t possibly become strangers.
"Right!"
"Your Majesty, don’t just see the benefits of merging territories; remember the potential drawbacks. Do not forget, within the territories of the primordial five clans, each has its own perils."
"If these are integrated with the Nine States, then these risks will also become those of the Nine States; Your Majesty would not be able to stay uninvolved."
Before leaving, Kong Xuan suddenly recalled something and sternly reminded Jiang Chen.
"Rest assured, my friend Kong, since Jiang Chen dares to do this, he must have made the necessary preparations. Moreover, no matter how big the perils of the five clans are, can they exceed those of the Human Race?"
Jiang Chen replied with a serious expression, how could he not know the perils of the primordial five clans? Or rather, among the strong ones in this Heaven and Earth, few are unaware of the perils of the five clans.
The perils of the five clans, rather than saying they belong to the five clans, are more accurately described as the perils of Heaven and Earth. Take the Phoenix Clan residing on the eternal volcano in the south as an example, they are there to suppress this place.
Back then, during the great war of the primordial three tribes, it really caused Chaos World to go out of balance, with shifts on all levels, disorder among the Five Elements, and Heaven and Earth on the brink of overturning overnight.
Necessitated, leaders of the primordial three tribes transformed into primordial holy beasts, each taking a position at the four poles and the ground, suppressing the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, thereby saving Chaos World from near-destruction.
Though that is the case, due to this war, the irreversible damage to Chaos World was inevitably caused.
Likewise, if not for the Phoenix Clan suppressing it, the eternal volcano in the south would immediately erupt with endless inextinguishable fire, capable of incinerating the whole Heaven and Earth, annihilating all life forms.
