Chapter 384: Golden Crow Thearch’s Request

That figure looked tall and stalwart as it was enveloped by reddish-gold light throughout, standing above the Divine Sun Cauldron. He was only nine feet tall, but it was as if he could reach the heavens.

Light and shadows swayed around it as space was being created and destroyed, while endless supreme forces converted into divine light and covered that figure. His face could not be seen clearly at all.

“Young fated people, welcome to my tomb.”

That figure was so majestic it was as if it could dominate the heavens.

However, his voice was extremely gentle, and he did not feel overbearing at all.

On the contrary, the Thearch’s voice was so gentle it was just like he was one of those friendly neighbors. Thus, one could not help but want to get closer to him.

Maybe, this was the so-called “to return to original purity and simplicity”!

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed gently as he looked toward that majestic figure and restrained the aura on his longsword.

A Thearch was the leading figure of a generation, so it was extremely disrespectful not to bow when meeting one.

Even if it was just the Thearch’s remnant consciousness, they would need to bow and definitely not engage in a battle as those of the younger generation.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said coldly, “Since Senior has appeared here, are you the legendary Golden Crow Thearch?”

That figure nodded slowly and said gently, “That’s right. I created my tomb in Immortal Abode Island firstly to suppress the providence of the Golden Crow race, secondly to find a fated person to become my successor, and thirdly...”

That figure went silent as if he had thought of something.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, “Is the third reason related to those few Golden Crow vengeful spirits?”

That figure let out a deep sigh. “Since you’ve appeared in my tomb, that day has most likely arrived. Alright then, I will stop hiding it from all of you.”

The Golden Crow Thearch said calmly, “80,000 years ago, there was once a force from another realm that wanted to invade the five regions. However, I stopped them when they were outside of the void tunnel.

“Unfortunately, the forces under me were almost wiped out, and the Golden Crow race was also unable to recover after that battle. Even my core was injured back then.”

The Golden Crow Thearch’s voice was filled with heartfelt emotions as if he was recalling that tragic battle.

He sighed and said, “I’m not sure if all of you have encountered those kinds of enemies again. They feed on negative emotions, such as resentment and evil thoughts, which in turn allow them to improve their strength rapidly.

“More importantly, if they absorb the cultivators of the five regions that died on the battlefield, they will become the evil creatures’ nourishment, weapons, and servants. Their strength will then be increased, and they will attack us afterward.

“The cultivators of the five regions can even use their cultivation methods, and the increase in one’s cultivation level is extremely fast, thus attracting countless cultivators harboring evil intentions to become evil cultivators.”

The numerous Sages and Heavenly Venerables were appalled as they heard what the Golden Crow Thearch had said.

That was because the traits of those “evil creatures” that the Golden Crow Thearch mentioned were extremely similar to the Evil Spirit race that had invaded their world in the past.

Was it possible that 80,000 years ago, when the Golden Crow Thearch was alive, the Evil Spirit race had already discovered the Five Regions World and even tried to invade it?

If it was truly so, then who was the one that had been stopping the Evil Spirit race from entering in the past 70,000 years until the Evil Spirit race successfully invaded the five regions 10,000 years ago?

As if he had sensed everyone’s curiosity, the Golden Crow Thearch continued calmly. “According to what I learned when battling with those evil creatures, it was not the first time that they tried invading our world. They had also done so many times before I battled with them.

“It’s just that the five regions’ powerful cultivators had stopped them. At the same time, the Celestial World’s cultivators had also restrained most of their power.

“Even so, the invaders that time were way stronger than I had expected.

“Even my nine children died in that battle, and those Thearch-level invaders contaminated their souls. They turned them into vengeful spirits, which even I could not do anything to stop them.

“One of the reasons I built this tomb was to restrain and confine my nine children so that they do not harm the world.”

The Golden Crow Thearch’s voice was filled with helplessness.

Although he was a powerful Thearch that could dominate the five regions, he was first and foremost a father.

It would be difficult for any father to annihilate their children, who were unable to be purified after they turned into evil spirits, for the sake of righteousness.

He had already done all he could by building the tomb and sealing his children for 80,000 years. No one could say he was in the wrong.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader bowed to the Golden Crow Thearch. “Senior is kind and righteous, but why did we encounter the Golden Crow vengeful spirits after we entered the tomb?”

The Golden Crow Thearch replied calmly, “This tomb’s core region is connected to my life, and Immortal Abode Island will be forever sealed as long as I’m alive.

“Now that Immortal Abode Island has appeared, naturally it’s because...”

The Golden Crow Thearch did not continue speaking, but the information within his words was enough to astound countless people.

As long as the Golden Crow Thearch was alive, Immortal Abode Island would be forever sealed.

Therefore, did it mean that since his Immortal Abode Island had reappeared again, the Golden Crow Thearch, who had ascended to the Celestial World, had already died?

At that moment, countless people felt forlorn.

He was a Thearch, an invincible being in the five regions and already a legend 80,000 years ago.

Even such a powerful being might fall in the Celestial World? Was it possible that the legendary Celestial World was also a cruel battlefield?

The Golden Crow Thearch continued calmly. “Everyone will die one day. It’s impossible to have the same lifespan as heaven and earth. Since all of you have arrived here, then you’re all fated with me. There’s no need to feel restrained.

“I’ve already died, so this tomb will most likely be able to trap those nine vengeful spirits for another three months at most.

“I wonder if there’s anyone in the five regions now that can help me purify and purge them. If there’s anyone who can do so, I’ll be deeply grateful.

“If nobody can purify them, then please leave this Small World now. I’ll send everyone out of Immortal Abode Island a month later and self-destruct with the Small World.

“By then, my nine children will disappear completely and not harm the world.”

The Golden Crow Thearch’s voice was indifferent. It was probably not a part of his soul but just a remnant consciousness that he had left behind.

However, no matter how calm he was when speaking, everyone could sense the Thearch’s love for his nine children was not just empty talk.

...

In the end, the Celestial World and the mortal world were two separate worlds. Even if the Golden Crow Thearch was a powerful Thearch, it was not easy to seal the entire Immortal Abode Island with himself as the center of the seal array formation after ascending.

He also had to guarantee that the nine vengeful spirits could not appear in the world and harm the people.

He had needed to pay a price that could make countless Sages despair, and even Thearchs would be reluctant to do so.

Possibly, if the Golden Crow Thearch had not split a part of his power to maintain the tomb’s seal, he might not have died in the Celestial World and could have even successfully stayed alive by escaping.

Nonetheless, the Golden Crow Thearch had not given up on his nine children and had chosen to place his hopes in the future generations.

It was already needless to say about his love for his children.

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed. “I admire Senior for your noble moral character. We’ll try our best to purify your nine Golden Crow children.”

Purifying and annihilating were two completely different concepts. Although the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had struck down the two vengeful spirits, they were not actually annihilated.

It was just that the lightning had temporarily dispersed their strength.

They would recover back to normal after some period.

If they wanted to annihilate those nine Golden Crows, there were only two ways.

The first was to kill them by wiping out their souls.

The second was to completely purify their souls by removing the Evil Spirits’ aura that contaminated their souls before purging them.

The difficulty of both methods was quite high.

The Golden Crows had already been sealed in the tomb for 80,000 years, so they had already become one with this tomb’s power. Thus, they could use the tomb’s energy to recover at any time.

As long as the tomb was not destroyed, those Golden Crows would be able to recover their strength endlessly. Thus, it would be difficult to annihilate them.

The Golden Crows were also proficient in joint attacks, and just two of them working together was enough to force Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to call for help.

If the nine Golden Crows escaped and joined hands, then even someone a step away from becoming a Thearch might not be able to deal with them.

Not to mention that everyone’s cultivation was suppressed in this tomb. It was simply impossible to wipe out the nine vengeful spirits with just Soul Formation/Mighty Prowess-level cultivation.

Well, Shen Tian could try if he reached the Soul Formation stage or Mighty Prowess realm. The problem was that he was a pitiful Golden Body/Golden Core expert that had yet to reach the Nascent Soul stage or Nirvana realm.

Not to mention the second method of purifying and purging those nine Golden Crows.

Simply speaking, even the Golden Crow Thearch back then had been unable to do anything about the evil aura within the Golden Crows.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader naturally would not think that his methods would be more brilliant than the Golden Crow Thearch’s back then.

If I can’t do it, it does not mean my disciple can’t do it either!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was confident!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader remembered clearly that his disciple had obtained a supreme Immortal artifact back in the Primordial Battlefield. It was used exclusively to purge vengeful spirits and evil spirits—the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.

Its forging material was ranked third on the Mystic Earth List and the best extraordinary item that could subdue the Evil Spirit race.

At the same time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk was the Reincarnation Sacred Ground’s peerless treasure.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk had even been suppressing that Evil Spirit powerhouse back in the Primordial Battlefield, so dealing with the nine Golden Crows that were infected by the evil aura would be an effortless task.

Also, Shen Tian had Ye Qingcang by his side, who was definitely an existence with extraordinary status in the Celestial World.

Therefore, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader believed that it would not be too difficult for Shen Tian to purge the Golden Crows since he had already carefully researched the life stories of the previous Children of Providence.

For example, according to the common experiences of the Children of Providence recorded in the book I’m Really Not The Son Of Providence, as long as there were some troubles in a certain mystic realm that others could not solve, then it would definitely be the chance for those heaven-blessed Children of Providence to show off.

Helping the Golden Crow Thearch to purge the nine Golden Crows, then be acknowledged and thanked by the Thearch, then receive all the supreme mystic arts...

Even that Divine Sun Cauldron would also be gifted as a token of gratitude.

...

Yeap, that’s right. Basically, all the plots were written like that.

It’s time for you to shine, Tian’er. Try your best. I have high expectations of you!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura swayed even more vigorously.
