Erlang Shen's Strategy Revealed Twice; the Golden Crow Enters the World (Continued) [Please Support with Flowers and Tips]

At Tang Valley on the Sun Star stood the Fusang Tree, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots!

Its fiery red leaves were etched with countless intricate patterns, exuding a tremendous aura.

The waves of heat, imbued with the laws and order of fire, were enough to burn entire worlds to ashes.

Ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals could not set foot here!

And yet ten three-legged Golden Crows freely circled the Fusang Tree.

Every feather on their bodies burned with scorching flames: the Sun Divine Fire, one of the Ten Great Origin Fires of the Primordial Era!

It was powerful enough to burn a gaping hole in the sky.

If not for the Sun Star's unique nature as the ancestral land where Golden Crows were born, and the Fusang Tree guarding Tang Valley,

the Ten Golden Crows' presence here would have long since burned the place to ruins and rubble.

"Father has us tending to the Sun Star every day, keeping us from appearing in the world for tens of thousands of years. He even set up a prohibition. It's unbearably boring."

The Third Golden Crow Prince spoke with a listless expression.

He flapped his enormous wings, sending fiery red leaves drifting down from the Fusang Tree.

But they quickly grew back.

"The Witch and Demon Clans are locked in endless conflict. Why won't he let us out? With our strength, unless we're facing those few Ancestral Witches, who in the entire Primordial World could stop us?"

The Fifth Golden Crow Prince was hot-tempered and extremely arrogant.

They were the children of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Emperor, powerful Golden Crows born on the Sun Star.

With ten Grand Unity Golden Immortals among them, they were powerful enough to look down on the entire Primordial World.

"Father is trying to temper your dispositions. The Witch and Demon Clans have been fighting for a long time, yet neither side has won in tens of thousands of years. The powerful members of the Wu Clan are even stronger than those of the Demon Clan. Naturally, he won't let us out."

The Eldest Golden Crow Prince was more level-headed and considered things more carefully.

He wasn't dissatisfied. He merely spoke calmly.

"Eldest Brother, I bet you've wanted to go out for a long time, too. Too bad we still can't break the prohibition Father set up."

The Second Golden Crow Prince stood on a branch of the Fusang Tree. Blazing flames engulfed him, yet not a single one harmed him.

The Eldest Golden Crow Prince didn't answer, which was as good as an admission.

"I wish we could go see the vast Primordial World. Tang Valley has been the same for tens of thousands of years, and even the Fusang Tree hasn't changed at all. It's so boring!"

As they grumbled, two figures appeared just outside the Sun Star.

They were none other than the Two Sages of the West, Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin!

"How powerful!!!" The Eldest Golden Crow Prince was horrified. He couldn't see through the visitors' strength, yet they had entered freely through the prohibition Di Jun had set up.

Either they possessed powerful treasures, or their own strength surpassed Di Jun's!

Surpassed their father?

Sages!!!

"Brothers! Get ready to welcome our guests!" The Eldest Golden Crow Prince feigned composure, refusing to believe the visitors had come to kill them.

If a Sage in the Primordial World wanted to kill them, they could only accept their bad luck.

But there was no reason for a Sage to make an enemy of the Demon Clan. It was completely unnecessary.

The Demon Clan had the Demon Ancestor Nuwa, after all, and was the fated ruler chosen by the Heavenly Dao to govern the heavens!

Killing all ten brothers would be no different from declaring war on the entire Demon Clan!

"Quite alert..." Daoist Jieyin and Zhunti landed beside the Fusang Tree in Tang Valley.

The two smiled warmly.

Then they looked toward the Fusang Tree.

It was an Innate Spiritual Root, a rare treasure in the Primordial World.

How pitiful that his Western Teachings were a true Sage's lineage, yet still had fewer treasures than the Witch and Demon Clans.

It was embarrassing to even admit.

Daoist Jieyin's gaze lingered over the Fusang Tree.

He reluctantly looked away.

If he hadn't come today for something more important,

he would surely have said, "This treasure is fated to be mine!"

"Two Sages, what brings your incarnations to Tang Valley? Do you have some instructions for us?" The Eldest Golden Crow Prince was quite perceptive.

He didn't even dare consider fighting two Sages. That would be tantamount to courting death.

So he did his best to show them the respect due to Sages.

Zhunti and Jieyin nodded at this.

Then they exchanged a glance.

They slowly spoke. "We haven't come with any instructions. We simply wish to tell you something."

The Ten Golden Crows were all surprised.

What could be important enough to bring the incarnations of two Sages here?

And why the two Sages of the Western Teachings?

The Western Teachings had no dealings with the Demon Clan at all, did they?

They had no karmic ties, so why come and tell them anything?

Of course, the Ten Golden Crows didn't understand that Zhunti and Jieyin were simply doing this for their own benefit, willingly involving themselves in a karmic entanglement.

"Saint Jieyin, what is it?"

The Eldest Prince asked cautiously.

"This matter concerns the Witch and Demon Clans, as well as the Human Race." Daoist Jieyin wore a calm expression, as though he were telling some ancient tale to a group of juniors.

Stories about long, long ago were always fascinating.

The mention of the Human Race also piqued the Ten Golden Crows' curiosity.

"The Human Race? Those ants? What could they possibly have to do with anything?"

Several Golden Crows began whispering among themselves. "Weak ants. The Demon Clan and the Wu Clan have been fighting for years, and the Human Race has always been the most contemptible of creatures, fit only to be livestock for slaughter."

Seeing how little regard the Golden Crows had for the Human Race pleased Zhunti and Jieyin even more.

They fanned the flames, saying, "You've been confined to the Sun Star for a long time, so it's understandable that you don't know what's happened outside."

"A thousand years ago, conflict between the Witch and Demon Clans spread across the lands of the Human Race."

"Just then, a Human Emperor appeared among the Human Race. He was shrouded in mystery, dared to challenge the Grand Pure Sage, abolished the Golden Elixir Path, and established the Human Dao."

"He even used the Primordial Dao Law to briefly attain the cultivation of a Sage."

"He slaughtered the Demon God Chongming Bird and beheaded the Demon Marshal Flying Sickle... He beat Di Jun so badly that he nearly died..."

"He even forced Nuwa to order Di Jun to reflect in seclusion for a thousand years! He wasn't allowed to leave without her decree!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz~~~

Jieyin recounted the events one by one, in great detail.

The Ten Golden Crows were dumbfounded.

They were completely stunned.

What had happened?

What had gone on outside?

They had been confined to the Sun Star for tens of thousands of years and hadn't left once.

How could the Human Race, whom they had once dismissed as ants, have undergone such a transformation?

"No! Father is revered by the entire Demon Clan and is the ruler of the Heavenly Court! How could he lose to mere Human Race ants?"

The Ten Golden Crows' convictions crumbled.

They didn't doubt the Sage's words.

A Sage's words carried the force of law. They wouldn't deceive them about something like this.

"Something's wrong! Father used to visit us every five hundred years. If you think about it, he really hasn't come by in a thousand years! We thought he'd been busy with important matters or had gone into seclusion to cultivate. We've been here in Tang Valley for so long that we've lost track of the years, so we didn't pay much attention."

The more the Eldest Golden Crow Prince spoke, the more unbelievable it seemed!

"The Human Race has someone with the cultivation of a Sage? How could that be? The Human Race are ants! They're the most contemptible species in the Primordial World, fit only to be livestock for slaughter! They don't even have immortals!"

"This imprint contains the whole story. Just look." Zhunti casually summoned an imprint.

He crushed it, and a scene from a thousand years ago appeared before the Ten Golden Crows' eyes as though it were happening again.
