Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1663 - 1081 Hongmeng Killing Array_2

"If anyone accuses them of betraying the sect, you can shift the blame onto me as their master."

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign spoke these final words. After speaking, without waiting for the disciples to respond, he disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the Nine States.

After discussing with Jiang Chen, most of the Great Divine Transcendents left, preparing to move their Taoist Fields to the Nine States.

The Great Divine Transcendents who originally belonged to Kunlun Mountain, however, returned to West Kunlun to live in seclusion. Without unexpected circumstances, they would not appear again in the near future.

As for how Sumeru Mountain should be divided, the matter is not urgent for now. It can be discussed after the Prehistoric World has been restructured.

There were simply too many Great Divine Transcendents involved in the restructuring of Sumeru Mountain, making it likely that Sumeru Mountain alone would not suffice. Thus, compensation would need to be made using the Western Lands.

But as the Prehistoric World has not yet been restructured, where can the "Western Lands" be found? So the matter has been postponed until after Heaven and Earth are restructured.

In addition, after a brief discussion, Jiang Chen and the Great Divine Transcendents reached an agreement: from this day forth, Innate Dao Sovereigns and stronger cultivators are forbidden to act in the Nine States Continent.

This rule was established because the Nine States are too small to accommodate many powerful figures.

If Innate Dao Sovereigns were to frequently act like they did in the Ancient Era, the Creation Qi between Heaven and Earth would likely not suffice for their absorption. Then, how would there be surplus Creation Qi to sustain the lower-level cultivators?

Therefore, for the long-term development of the Nine States, until the Prehistoric World is fully restructured and unless absolutely necessary, these high-level figures such as Innate Dao Sovereigns should refrain from appearing in the Nine States.

Once the Prehistoric World is restructured, that would be their stage.

"The Hongmeng Killing Array!"

After everyone left, Jiang Chen ventured into the depths of Sumeru Mountain, to the place where the Demon Ancestor forged the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.

After the Four Immortal Slaying Swords were created, the Demon Ancestor designed a corresponding array to enhance their power further, elevating them from the level of top-tier Innate Treasures to rival Opening Heaven Treasures.

Jiang Chen believed that his cultivation at this moment was undoubtedly superior to what the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had achieved when forging the Four Immortal Slaying Swords. Since Luo Hou had achieved this back then, Jiang Chen had no reason to believe he could not accomplish the same now.

Thus, Jiang Chen resolved to craft a matching array for the Pure Yang Three Swords of Dutian Taichu, allowing them to rival the Opening Heaven Treasures in power.

As for which array to create, Jiang Chen already had it in mind.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Array’s strength lies in the Two Elements and Four Symbols.

It articulates the principles of Innate Two Elements through the Immortal Slaying Array Map, showcases the mysteries of the Innate Four Symbols through the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, and is complemented by several corresponding top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures. Ultimately, it drives the profound truths of the Two Elements and Four Symbols to their peak, thus enabling the Immortal Slaying Sword Array to possess the ability to destroy Heaven and Earth.

Since the realm of Two Elements and Four Symbols has already been claimed by the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and pushed to its limits, this path was clearly inaccessible to Jiang Chen. Therefore, he chose another route: the path of Three Talents and Five Elements.

Three Talents and Five Elements symbolize the various orders of Heaven and Earth. In terms of power, it is no weaker than the Two Elements and Four Symbols.

If the Three Talents were imbalanced and the Five Elements chaotic, then the various orders of Heaven and Earth would collapse instantly, descending into total chaos and destruction, leading towards primordial Hongmeng.

What Jiang Chen intended to forge was the Hongmeng Killing Array—a system embodying the principles of Three Talents and Five Elements. The timing was fitting, as the three Pure Yang Innate Killing Swords of Dutian Taichu correspond respectively to the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, making them ideal for manifesting the Innate Dao of Three Talents.

As for the Five Elements—that was even simpler. Both the Five Elements and Yin-Yang originate from Chaos.

The Chaos Womb Membrane that Jiang Chen intended to use as the Array Map happens to serve as Chaos’s carrier. It inscribes the Path of Chaos, easily capable of manifesting Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

With the Pure Yang Innate Three Killing Swords of Dutian Taichu and the Chaos Divine Map, the foundation for setting up the Hongmeng Killing Array was complete.

But this was still not enough! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Just like the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, simply possessing the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Immortal Slaying Array Map would not make the Immortal Slaying Sword Array complete. Its power would not reach its peak, nor could it stand unrivaled.

One would need to seek out the Innate Four Great Gateways, the Innate Four Symbols Dao Platforms, the Innate Four Great Divine Lamps, and other Innate Spiritual Treasures to make the Immortal Slaying Sword Array perfect.

Such an array, even with four Saints present, would demand a tremendous cost before it could be broken.

The Hongmeng Killing Array Jiang Chen intended to forge was no weaker than the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, so naturally, its structure would draw inspiration from the complete Immortal Slaying Sword Array.

Of course, "inspiration" does not mean mere imitation—it must incorporate his own insights.

For example, the Innate Four Great Divine Lamps would be replaced by Innate Three Great Divine Lamps. The Innate Four Great Gateways would be altered to correspond with the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Similarly, the Four Symbols Dao Platforms would be modified into Three Talents Dao Platforms.

But even that was insufficient. Jiang Chen would still need to incorporate his unique understanding—for instance, placing a twenty-four-petal Chaos Green Lotus at the center of the array to embody the Three Talents and Five Elements.

This adjustment inevitably elevates the power of the array to new heights, truly manifesting the primal image of Chaos Hongmeng.

The scene would depict the era of Taiji’s inception, the beginning of Hongmeng, and the nascent Chaos. In that era, Heaven and Earth were shrouded in darkness, an age older than Chaos itself—a void of even greater antiquity where nothing existed, not even the Great Dao.

In such a time, only those who achieved eternity at the apex of power could possibly survive.

History had repeatedly proven that even arrays as mighty as the complete Immortal Slaying Sword Array were not flawless and could still fail. Jiang Chen, unwilling to endure defeat, must craft a formation surpassing all others, stronger than the Immortal Slaying Sword Array.

"My array will surely break the curse of the Prehistoric World’s ’First Great Array.’"

Jiang Chen was deeply confident in his Hongmeng Killing Array, believing it capable of breaking the curse associated with the "First Great Array" of the Prehistoric World—the curse of inevitable defeat.

Every array bearing the title of "First Great Array of the Prehistoric World" had found itself defeated upon its debut.

Even the complete Immortal Slaying Sword Array, which the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou held in high regard as a tool to unify the Prehistoric World, had ultimately been broken by Taoist Ancestor Hongjun.

Thereafter came the Twelve Dutian God-killing Array, which upon its emergence manifested the true form of Pangu. For a moment, it terrified all beings of the Prehistoric World, who collectively believed it to be the strongest array in existence.

However, even so, it was defeated by the Heavenly Dao. Were it otherwise, the Demon Clan would have been exterminated that day.

Later, the Cycle Star Array appeared—a formation even less worth mentioning, as its fame rivaled the fragmented Twelve Dutian God-killing Array but failed to surpass it.

Clearly, the "First Great Array" of the Prehistoric World carried a fatal stigma: despite grand titles, their battle records were overwhelmingly negative, with scarcely a victory among them.

Either this entity broke them or that force overcame them—they seemed destined for defeat.

As a grandmaster of array paths, Jiang Chen was determined to break this curse with his Hongmeng Killing Array and restore the dignity of array paths.

"All Innate Spiritual Treasures related to the Three Talents can be resolved; there will be no issues. Previously, in the annihilation of the Demon Immortals, I seized the Innate Four Symbols Grand Array from Taiyi’s disciples."

"Destroying this treasure and then adding the Original Source of Innate Three Talents, refining it with the Chaos Cauldron, should yield the Innate Three Talents Dao Platform."

"The Three Lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity are the Heavenly Lamp of the Jade Void Palace Lamp, the Earth Lamp of the Spirit Coffin Palace Lamp, and the Human Lamp of the Eight Scenic Palace Lamp."

"While these three lamps already exist, the Heavenly Lamp is in Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s possession, the Human Lamp is held by the Saint of Taiqing, and only the Earth Lamp is with me. Securing the other two lamps will not be an easy task."

"By contrast, acquiring the Three Gateways of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity would be relatively simple. The Heavenly Gateway refers to the four Great Heavenly Gateways of Heaven Court; the Earth Gateway refers to the Underworld’s entrance—the Ghost Gate Pass."

"As for the Human Gateway, it is none other than the legendary Xuanpin Gateway, capable of gestating all creations. Since its emergence, it has disappeared completely. Even the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord spent countless years searching, all in vain."

"But his failure doesn’t mean I will fail. Compared to him, the so-called misfit leader of the Human Sect, I, Jiang Chen, am the supreme ruler of the Human Path—the true master of humanity."

"The Xuanpin Gateway is destined to belong to me."
