Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1683 - 1091 Pangu’s primordial spirit_2

Jiang Chen did not attempt to conceal the identity of the Saint of Taiqing; he directly revealed his origins.

In fact, even he himself did not realize that, when he spoke those words, his voice trembled with excitement.

How could he not be excited? This incarnation of the Saint of Taiqing is none other than the primordial spirit of Pangu, the very thing he has longed for in his dreams. If he could refine it, there would be no need to painstakingly seek out the core inheritances of Taiqing or Yu Qing.

The profound mysteries of the Pangu primordial spirit are all contained within this incarnation.

Unless one were to find the true primordial spirit of Pangu, there is no other treasure in the Prehistoric World that can rival this incarnation of the Saint of Taiqing as a substitute for Pangu’s primordial spirit.

"Pangu primordial spirit!"

The other Great Divine Transcendents were hearing of this matter for the first time, and they could not help but feel shocked. At the same time, their gazes toward the incarnation of the Saint of Taiqing grew increasingly heated.

In the Prehistoric World, Pangu Great God was no longer merely a living being, but rather the highest embodiment of the Dao, the strongest Dao Fruit of the Prehistoric World.

The cultivation systems of the Prehistoric World were all modeled after Pangu, with the ultimate goal being to become like Pangu. In such a context, the appearance of Pangu’s primordial spirit was irresistibly alluring to everyone.

Anyone who obtained this incarnation could step directly into the Realm of Primordial Chaos, perhaps even ascend to an even higher state.

This was the shortcut to enlightenment!

Beyond the chaos, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Upper Qing Saints remained silent, their expressions unchanged, clearly indicating that they had long been aware of this matter.

Indeed, without the assistance of these two, the Saint of Taiqing could scarcely have refined the Pangu primordial spirit.

"Star Lord, retreat at once. The Netherworld is not a place you are qualified to tread."

After Jiang Chen exposed his identity, Pangu Taiqing did not react with anger but instead spoke coldly, instructing Jiang Chen to leave the Netherworld.

Yet, from his tone, it was evident that he regarded himself as the master of the Netherworld. Not only did Jiang Chen feel fury upon hearing this, but Mother Earth Hou Tu also bristled with indignation.

If you are the master of the Netherworld, then what am I?

Mother Earth Hou Tu’s gaze turned icy, her eyes sharp as she fixed them upon Pangu Taiqing, as though ready to strike and expel him from the Netherworld.

However, before she could make a move, from deep within the Netherworld, at the locus of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, supreme power of the Heavenly Dao descended in strands, transforming into countless mystical runes that spread across every corner of the void, seemingly aiming to refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Taiqing, how dare you!"

Forced by the situation, Mother Earth Hou Tu had to abandon her intent to confront Pangu Taiqing and instead turned her efforts to resisting the Heavenly Dao’s refining of the Six Paths of Reincarnation with all her might.

The Saint of Taiqing, having revealed the existence of Pangu Taiqing, clearly did not do so without preparation. He had long anticipated that once his incarnation was exposed, it would inevitably face suppression from Mother Earth Hou Tu. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Thus, at the moment of its exposure, he immediately wielded his Saintly authority to summon the power of the Heavenly Dao, driving it to flood into the Netherworld in an attempt to refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation and seize control of this treasure.

The Saint of Taiqing was shrewd in his calculations. If Mother Earth Hou Tu were to disregard the safety of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and insist on annihilating his incarnation, it would be no matter—he would still gain control over the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Even if it was just a sliver, it would not be a loss.

Conversely, if Mother Earth Hou Tu worried for the Six Paths of Reincarnation’s safety and therefore refrained from targeting his incarnation, he would still not lose.

In either case, no matter what choice Mother Earth Hou Tu made, he would emerge with a gain.

Such is the character of the Saint of Taiqing—seemingly passive, yet truly all-encompassing, unyielding in ensuring he suffers no loss, whether in victory or defeat.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation are an integral part of the cycle of Heaven and Earth and, theoretically, ought to be under the control of a Saint. But this treasure was created from Mother Earth Hou Tu herself; without her consent, even the Taoist Ancestors could not interfere with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Saints had coveted the Six Paths of Reincarnation for ages, but as much as they schemed, they could never secure Hou Tu’s approval and could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

For this reason, they had repeatedly acted in secret, employing countless strategies to wrest control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation from Mother Earth Hou Tu.

Mother Earth Hou Tu had spent endless years dwelling in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, avoiding even the Abyss, her sole purpose to guard against the Saints. She feared that if she were away for too long, upon her return, the Six Paths of Reincarnation would no longer be solely hers.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Dish is a Chaos Treasure, and moreover, a complete Chaos Treasure. Not even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial or a Wuji Daluo Jinxian could leave their mark upon it.

But Saints could. Not because they were stronger than Wuji Daluo Jinxian, but because they wielded the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This was the Prehistoric World’s greatest power, rivaling the supreme beings of Complete Chaos Land, naturally capable of leaving a mark on the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish.

If not for this, Mother Earth Hou Tu, armed with the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish as her advantage, would not have feared the Saints. She had the Reincarnation Dish as her "cheat code," but the Saints had Heavenly Dao as their cheat code.

Both sides had cheat codes, yet the Saints had more people on their side. Mother Earth Hou Tu was thus at a disadvantage and not a match for the Saints.

To prevent the Saint of Taiqing from using the Heavenly Dao to lay claim to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Mother Earth Hou Tu had no choice but to abandon her attack on Pangu Taiqing and focus on battling the Saint of Taiqing over the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

...

"Presumptuous! I am Emperor Ziwei, the rightful ruler of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity as acknowledged by Heaven and Earth. The Netherworld is part of my domain—why would I not have the right to enter here?"

Seeing that Mother Earth Hou Tu had not taken action, Jiang Chen immediately discerned that she must have run into trouble. He decided to no longer pin his hopes on her and instead rebuked Pangu Taiqing himself.

In comparison, Jiang Chen’s entry into the Netherworld had the strongest basis in law. After all, Emperor Ziwei’s authority was established by the Heavenly Dao itself. If the Heavenly Dao decreed that Emperor Ziwei’s incarnation had dominion over the Netherworld, who could possibly bar him from entering?

"Stubborn fool!"

"I acknowledge neither Heaven nor Earth; I recognize only Pangu. Whether the Heavenly Realm or the Netherworld, all are manifestations of the Spirit World and all are treasures left by Father God to the Pangu primordial spirit."

Pangu Taiqing remained unmoved and retorted with principles of his own.

Sure, Jiang Chen might have a legal foundation, but does that mean Pangu Taiqing doesn’t? Furthermore, his basis in principle is even greater and more legitimate—bestowed by Pangu Great God himself. Can the Heavenly Dao possibly supersede Pangu Great God?

"You..."

Jiang Chen was almost rendered speechless by this argument; he nearly laughed out loud. To speak such shameless words and maintain a straight face—this person’s audacity exceeded even his own.

And it wasn’t just Jiang Chen. The other Great Divine Transcendents witnessing this scene were equally speechless. At this point, you’re still talking about disregarding Heaven and Earth and recognizing only Pangu Great God—what utter nonsense!

If you truly disregarded Heaven and Earth and recognized only Pangu, then why did you accept the Purple Qi of Hongmeng to become a Saint in the first place?

Now you’ve become a Saint and stepped up as a servant of the Heavenly Dao, yet you claim not to recognize Heaven and Earth—so where did your Heavenly Dao powers come from?

Though the crowd said nothing aloud, their gazes carried unabashed contempt as they looked at Pangu Taiqing. Hypocrisy incarnate—he was the embodiment of "having it both ways."

As for the disdainful gazes of the onlookers, Pangu Taiqing remained utterly indifferent. He saw no fault in his statements. The Saint of Taiqing is the one who became a Saint—what does that have to do with him?

In his current form, he had no connection to the Heavenly Dao; he was the purest embodiment of Pangu’s primordial spirit. Claiming to recognize only Pangu posed no issue whatsoever. After all, recognizing Pangu meant recognizing himself. How could there possibly be a problem?

"There are three realms in the Prehistoric World: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity."

"The Mortal Realm is at the center of it all, as the Great Earth. Above the Great Earth is the Heavenly Realm, in the Boundless Starry Sky. Beneath the Great Earth lies the Underworld, within the Abyss."

"Although the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld were forged from Innate Yuan Qi, fundamentally, they are reflections of the spiritual light of living beings shining into the heavens and the abyss, where they mingled with the Innate Yuan Qi to evolve into these realms."

"It can be said that the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld are Spirit Worlds. If they are regarded as treasures left behind by Pangu Great God for his primordial spirit, there is logic in that."

"However, by that theory, if the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld are gifts to the primordial spirit, then the Great Earth should be considered a legacy for the physical body, and thus the Witch Clan should reign supreme there."

"If that’s the case, why have you repeatedly interfered in the Mortal Realm? There’s no logic in that. Surely you’re not the one breaking this rule, are you?"

When it comes to reasoning, Jiang Chen has never lost. He didn’t refute Pangu Taiqing’s argument; instead, he followed its logic to dissect it further.

And in doing so, the logic broke down on its own.
