Chapter 398: Chapter 397: Nine Thousands Years Ago

Jiang Li looked down at the sea, from here, one could see the Jiuzhou world that had grown rampantly nine thousand years before, with Transcendance Tribulation Stages appearing ceaselessly.

“I just need to jump in?”

“I should remind Emperor Jiang first. What has happened here is history. I know your mana reaches the heavens and no one can match it, but history has its own conclusion. If you return to the past, you can only watch without intervening. Otherwise, history will deviate, and we both will enter a parallel world!”

“Does Emperor Shun also know about parallel worlds?”

“In my survey of the past and present, witnessing eternity, I naturally know things that few others do.”

“There are several causes of parallel worlds. The main reason is that an individual may have multiple personalities. This person, capable of affecting the course of the world and history, might make different choices when faced with the same situation, causing time to deviate and leading to the creation of parallel worlds.”

“The second reason is when someone travels to the past and alters history, leading to the creation of a parallel world.”

“I don’t know how to travel between different parallel worlds. Once we go to another parallel world, there’s no going back for the two of us.”

“I am helping you because you are a citizen of Zhou’s dynasty, and after becoming the Human Emperor, you lead by example and respect Zhou’s laws. Don’t trick me into a parallel world.”

“I understand that.”

Before setting off, Jiang Li turned around and said, “I also have a favor to ask Emperor Shun.”

“Please speak, Emperor Jiang.”

“I have visited a world of zombies. There, time has restarted, and I cannot directly intervene until time returns to normal. Can Emperor Shun make the time in that world return to normal?”

“This shouldn’t be a problem.”

“This is Jiuzhou, nine thousand years ago. It’s amazing, the Immortal Ascending Staircase still exists. One can freely travel to and from the Immortal Realm.”

Jiang Li arrived in the past, looked at the Immortal Ascending Staircase, and was deeply moved.

He had dedicated all of his energy and effort to gathering pieces of the Immortal Ascending Staircase, just so he could go to the Immortal Realm.

Had he been born in this era, he should have been able to freely travel to the Immortal Realm.

“A single province actually has two Transcendance Tribulation Stages?”

Jiang Li used his Divine Sense to cover an entire province, and he was surprised by the number of Transcendance Tribulation Stages.

“Elder Changcun once told me that at this time, Jiuzhou had 20 Transcendance Tribulation Stages. This is Jiuzhou’s greatest period.”

“I don’t know how much time there is left until the Immortal Ascending Staircase breaks.”

Suddenly, Jiang Li’s eyebrows furrowed. He discovered that a thousand miles away, a Demon Cultivator was openly performing a blood sacrifice. An entire city of people was wailing, cursing, begging for mercy, then disappearing in a puff of smoke, becoming sacrificial offerings for the Demon to increase his mana.

“The Jiuzhou of this era truly is savage.”

Such a thing would simply be impossible in the era that Jiang Li came from.

Jiang Li flew in the air, and in an instant, he reached the scene and saw a Demon Cultivator laughing uncontrollably.

“Sure enough, it’s more beneficial than harmful for ordinary mortals to comprehend the Spiritual Energy Chart. How can typical mortals be as replenishing as those at the third stage of Qi Cultivation”

“However, after absorbing the lives of millions of people, I can step into the Middle Transcendance Tribulation Stage from the Early Transcendance Tribulation Stage. With this, becoming an Immortal is imminent!”

This man was one of the twenty Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators in Jiuzhou, the Demon Cultivator Li Wu.

“Old Demon Li, you’re conducting a blood sacrifice again!”

Another Transcendence Tribulation Cultivator heard about the Demon’s movements and came quickly to check. He was furious to see the scene in front of him.

“Who do you think you are? It turns out to be Yuan Shang. What, do you have any more advice?” Li Wu said arrogantly, not putting Yuan Shang in his eyes. Both were at the Transendence Tribulation Stage, neither high nor low, what if the other party was furious?

It was just impotent rage.

Li Wu looked down on Yuan Shang and the Mysterious Heaven Sect he represented.

The Mysterious Heaven Sect claimed to act on behalf of Heaven, advocated saving the world and rescuing people from suffering, and compiled the “Spiritual Energy Chart” so that everyone could practice cultivation. Among them, this Yuan Shang was the most outrageous, saying that one should not practice the Demon Path, instead relying on their own efforts to ascend to immortality.

Ridiculous. The people I’ve killed for my power, isn’t that effort too?

“Old Demon Li, you dare to massacre my citizens of the Emperor of Heaven Origin!”

The Emperor of Heaven Origin of this era appeared, dressed in a yellow robe, with awe-inspiring momentum, radiating the fluctuations of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

“Heh, it’s just a piece of trash that barely touches the edge of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage by relying on the national luck, and dares to bark in front of me.”

Li Wu chuckled lightly.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will report this matter to the Immortal Realm and notify the founding ancestral from the Emperor of Heaven Origin Dynasty?” The Emperor of Heaven Origin threatened. Even if the national luck of the Emperor of Heaven Origin Dynasty encouraged struggles, this was not the way to do it.

The disappearance of a major city caused significant damage to the national luck of the Emperor of Heaven Origin Dynasty.

“Are you comparing backgrounds? I, Li Wu, have a Heavenly Immortal in the Immortal Realm as my master, and what about your Emperor of Heaven Origin Dynasty? Your founding ancestor was just a Heavenly Immortal.”

“Let’s see, will my master stand up for me, or will your founding ancestor stand up for your many generations of descendants?”

Li Wu didn’t care; when comparing cultivation strength, no one in Jiuzhou could contain him. When it came to background, he had a huge supporter in the Immortal Realm. Who could tolerate him?

The Emperor of Heaven Origin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In cultivating in Jiuzhou, talent, cultivation strength, and background were all indispensable. Missing any aspect could lead to failure on the road to becoming immortal.

Even if the Immortal Realm stipulates that they should not interfere with the Lower Realm, if a real Immortal secretly intervened, what could the Immortal Realm do about it? Could they eliminate the Immortal?

Yuan Shang didn’t waste words with Li Wu anymore and directly made his move. His Mysterious Heaven Sect also had a substantial background in the Immortal Realm, not fearing the person behind Li Wu.

The three tacitly flew into the cosmos before battling. If they were to fight in Jiuzhou, who knows how many people would die, which could truly anger the founding ancestor of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.

Three Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators were battling in the cosmos. Their bodies were enormous, and their actions were full of vigorous energy. Their vital energies surged like a torrent, causing the sun and the moon to darken and stars to shatter, leaving all living beings trembling with fear.

When Bai Hongtu and the others took action at the Zhou’s Dynasty’s Spiritual Treasure Convention, it attracted the residents of Jiuzhou to watch, admiring their power, and hoping to learn more about the methods of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

However, in this era, people simply hoped for the battle to end as quickly as possible.

Yuan Shang was frustrated. The Emperor of Heaven Origin had shown up, but not put any real effort into the fight. It was clear that the emperor was putting on a show for the people, sending a message to other Demon Cultivators: the Emperor of Heaven Origin’s Dynasty was not to be trifled with.

The Emperor of Heaven Origin didn’t even take out his magic gourd.

Li Wu was arrogant and had the qualifications to be so. Yuan Shang and the Emperor of Heaven Origin both could do nothing to him.

“Enough, do you want people to laugh at us?”

A deep voice interrupted the battle between the three.

Seeing the newcomer, the three stopped fighting and paid their respects: “Golden Daoist.”

Golden Daoist shook his head and looked in the direction of the Immortal Ascending Staircase: “We have been cultivating until now, all for the sake of becoming Immortals. Why should we fight to death?”

“Li Wu indeed did something wrong, but they Demonic Cultivators rely on this for cultivation. His actions can be considered understandable.”

“Yuan Shang, you’re always like this. You’re not that capable, but you always like to flex your muscles. Do you know how many Demonic Cultivators wish to assassinate you?”

“This matter should end here, by my advice.”

“In the future, we’re all going to become Immortals and enter the Immortal Realm. The cultivators of Jiuzhou should stick together in the Immortal Realm. You’re stiffening the relationship so much, do you want other immortals to laugh at Jiuzhou?”

Golden Daoist was only one step away from becoming an Immortal, the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator who was closest to becoming an Immortal in the current Jiuzhou world. He claimed to be the true lineage of Jiuzhou and liked to show off his status. Whenever there was a fight, he would appear and mediate the conflict.

With the involvement of Golden Daoist, Yuan Shang had no choice but to back down.
