After all, Jin Chan was there to support Huaguo Mountain, regardless of his motives, it was inappropriate to let someone be embarrassed like that.
While others might not care about such things, those from Huaguo Mountain still cared about their reputation and couldn’t afford to have a tarnished name spread.
Jin Chan had thick skin, and even though everyone didn’t pay much attention to him, he was very proactive in toasting to the crowd, uttering nothing but flattering words.
Even Immortals and Buddhas liked to hear words of flattery.
Before long, everyone’s opinion of Jin Chan had improved significantly.
They felt that the monk wasn’t so bad after all, at least not as annoying as they had imagined.
Sun Wukong just smiled indifferently, not taking it to heart.
At this time, Queen Mother of the West returned to Kunlun, satisfied.
Her Divine Thought swept the area, but she didn’t see White Tiger or Bluebird.
This caused her a moment of surprise, and after asking others, she only learned that Bluebird had taken White Tiger out.
Queen Mother of the West didn’t care much, since Bluebird often took White Tiger out to play.
At this moment, Senior Commander-in-Chief also returned, bringing someone with him, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
The Queen Mother of the West’s heart grew even more joyful.
With the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow present, the power of the Court of Ancient Gods had grown even stronger.
The Tenth Prince didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “I’ve heard that Your Grace has a way to dispel my Heart Demon.
May I know what method it is?
If successful, I’ll naturally be willing to join the Court of Ancient Gods and follow your orders.”
This was a sincere remark, as the strength of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was formidable, not weaker than that of the Queen Mother of the West and her peers.
But he had one fatal weakness: when confronted with a master of Divine Arrows, he would become terrified to the extreme, instantly losing all combat effectiveness.
It wasn’t that he was faint-hearted, but rather that the memories from the past were too dreadful.
He had watched in dismay as his nine brothers were shot down, until only he was left.
If Emperor Jun, his father, hadn’t arrived in time, he too would have been killed.
That incident had cast an indelible shadow on the heart of the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.
Actually, the solution to this shadow was quite simple: Let him kill Great Yi, or simulate Great Yi’s death before him.
However, after Great Yi severely wounded and almost killed the nine Golden Crows, Emperor Jun arrived and fought a great battle with him.
Eventually, Great Yi, mortally wounded, managed to escape.
In the end, his aura disappeared between heaven and earth, and even Emperor Jun was unable to find him.
Emperor Jun once used supreme methods to deduce that Great Yi might have died.
He had wanted to find a way to drive away the shadow from the heart of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, but after the incident of the ten suns rising together, the Three Realms were enraged.
The collective gods joined forces, and the accumulated dissatisfaction fully erupted.
A war of gods broke out between heaven and earth, a group of Ancient Gods took action, expelling Emperor Jun and his subordinates.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow thus lost the opportunity to dispel his shadow.
Later, he remained hidden, witnessing the rise and fall of various Divine Dynasties, and grew to his current state.
At one point, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow thought he was no longer afraid of experts in the Dao of Archery.
However, during the last great battle, when Yang Jian drew his bow, it caused the Tenth Son to once again face the shadow buried in his Heart-Mind, making him realize he had not yet unlocked his heart and the shadow still lingered.
Now, hearing that the Queen Mother of the West had a means to help him dispel the shadow, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow naturally rushed over at the first opportunity, wanting to eliminate his Heart Demon completely.
He knew that the Queen Mother of the West was one of the Primordial Deities, with strong power and unfathomable means, and perhaps she could truly succeed.
In any case, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was willing to give it a try.
The Queen Mother of the West smiled faintly and said, “I possess the Sun Shooting Divine Bow here, infused with Great Yi’s aura.
I can activate the aura to create an Illusionary Realm, using the Sun Shooting Divine Bow to tirelessly simulate the scenes from that day, constantly shooting at you until you no longer harbor any fear towards Great Yi’s aura and the power of the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.”
In other words, she proposed that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow endure until he became numb to death or got used to Great Yi’s aura,
so that he would no longer fear archers, and the psychological shadow would naturally dissolve.
The face of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow darkened, extremely reluctant to face that scenario again, especially repeatedly.
Seeing his unwillingness, Queen Mother of the West said sternly, “This is the only way.
If the Tenth Prince is unwilling, then I’m afraid I have no other methods.
But now, the Three Realms all know that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow fears experts in archery, and from here on, any Heavenly Deity or higher who practices archery can defeat you.”
As the face of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow grew increasingly ugly, turning pale, the Queen Mother of the West continued, “Moreover, if you want to break through to a higher Realm, that shadow is something you must overcome.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to ascend to higher levels in this lifetime.
That shadow will lock you in your current Realm.
Think it over for yourself.”
The face of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was sullen; he was well aware of this fact.
If his Dao Heart wasn’t flawless, he would remain at his current level for the rest of his life, unable to take a single step further.
His strength might seem formidable, but compared to the true supremes of the Three Realms, he was far from their level.
Not to mention comparing him to The Three Pure Ones, he fell short by who knows how much.
As a cultivator, which one doesn’t yearn to experience higher realms or become stronger?
As the only son of Emperor Jun, the son of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, naturally, he hoped to sweep through the Three Realms like his father and achieve true invincibility.
To break through the shadows within his heart was essential.
Having thought it through, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow gritted his teeth and said, “It’s acceptable, but there must be no genuine threat to me.
If my life is truly endangered, I’m unwilling to proceed.”
The Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly and responded, “It’s not necessary for the Tenth Prince’s true body to enter.
Only a fragment of your Primordial Spirit, along with your Heart-Mind, needs to enter.
That way, even if there’s real danger, only a fragment of your Primordial Spirit will be lost.
And there definitely won’t be any accidents; I have prepared everything.”
Hearing that only the Heart-Mind and a fragment of his Primordial Spirit would enter the Illusion Array, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a while then said, “Lastly, arrange for me to kill Great Yi, even if it’s just within the illusion.
I must do it myself.
Otherwise, I cannot be fully appeased and truly eliminate the shadow in my Dao Heart.”
“That can be arranged.”
The Queen Mother of the West smiled; this naturally wasn’t an issue for her.
