“What?!” The President abruptly stood up, his pupils constricting sharply. He thought he had misheard.
He knew that Jiang Li was mysterious and immensely powerful, and he had attempted to imagine how mighty Jiang Li could be — such as arm-wrestling with an Earth Immortal, battling with an Earth Immortal hundreds of times. But that was the limit for a mortal.
He could never have imagined that Jiang Li could become so powerful as to slay immortals.
Xiaoyue Zhenren had told him that a mortal slaying an immortal was a defiance against heaven, a feat unheard of in Jingyu World.
But what exactly did this “New Path” stand for and what did it signify?
Having been mentored by Xiaoyue Zhenren, the President thought he knew enough to be considered well-educated. But facing Jiang Li now, he still felt his knowledge was inadequate.
Jiang Li signaled for Daoist Huiming to be cautious: “I just can suppress ten Golden Immortals single-handedly. I haven’t yet fought with Hunyuan Wuji Immortal, let alone being capable of slaughtering an immortal.”
Upon hearing this, Daoist Huiming was also considerably shaken. He thought Jiang Li making a comparison with Hunyuan Wuji Immortal was partly a joke, but hearing that he could suppress ten Golden Immortals with a single hand seemed to suggest it was not just merely a comparison anymore.
Exactly what cultivational level had this Daoist friend Jiang Li reached? And what exactly was the Mahayana Realm?
Daoist Huiming felt the Jiang Li standing in front of him, held more secrets than the unknown and hidden realm of the immortals.
Daoist Huiming could hardly believe that he had the qualifications to refer to himself as a ‘Daoist friend’ with someone so mighty.
In the world of cultivation, one’s status was determined by their level of cultivation. An Earth Immortal visiting their Jingyu World would definitely not call him ‘Daoist friend’.
Powerful yet humble, Daoist Huiming had never seen such a powerful being before, all he had seen were aloof figures who looked down upon the weaker beings, treating them as if they were ants.
“You guys don’t even have a smidgen of information about the ‘Desiccated Bone’?” Daoist Huiming thought that the Mutual Aid Association and the Ruin Alliance, having been in opposition for numerous years, should have some information.
“In fact, apart from the Takeout Mutual Aid Association and the Ruin Alliance, there are certain cultivators who have chosen to remain neutral, claiming to keep themselves out of danger. I am aware of a Body Integration Realm cultivator who has chosen to remain neutral, but due to the heavily-guarded location where he is hiding and considering his status, when we previously attempted to inquire about the Ruin Alliance, he had refused.”
“Where is he?” Daoist Huiming asked.
“The Ghost House of Tianshan Amusement Park.”
A sudden idea struck Daoist Huiming, and he quickly came to a realization: “Is it Ghost of Sorrow?”
The President nodded: “It is him. The cultivation technique of True man Ghost of Sorrow is closely related to negative emotions such as worry, fear, terror, hopelessness, the more negative emotions he absorbs, the more powerful he becomes, both the True man Ghost of Sorrow and the person that he is possessing become stronger.”
Jiang Li made a strange face. The Cultivation technique sounded a lot like the legends concerning the demonic origins contrived by Fairy Weng.
Did Fairy Weng derive his inspiration from such a Cultivation Technique?
“Then, should we head to the amusement park for a… no, I mean, shall we look for True man Ghost of Sorrow?” Jiang Li suggested enthusiastically.
“Let’s go tomorrow. It’s too late today, and the amusement park is also closed. Furthermore, we forgot something.” Wen Quan said.
“What is it?”
“We came here in a rush and didn’t inform my sister. She is still at the shooting location.” Wen Quan took out his phone. The caller ID displayed “Unlucky Older Sister”.
Jiang Li finally understood. In his excitement to play, he had forgotten that they had initially gone to the shooting location to watch Qing’er’s acting.
When Jiang Li and the others found Qing’er, she was looking at them reproachfully.
“Did you guys forget about me?”
Wen Quan firmly shook his head: “No way, we were concerned about potential acquaintances distracting you from your performance, so we temporarily left the place.”
Qing’er nodded, expressing her satisfaction with the explanation. She glanced at Jiang Li and laughed, “I really should thank you. The director said that you were here with me, finding such a great emperor in you is also my credit, so the director is willing to arrange more scenes for me.”
“Do you have to shoot tomorrow?”
“No, I do not have any scenes for the next few days.”
“That’s perfect, we are going to an amusement park tomorrow. Will you go?”
“Yes.”
…
“Wake up.” Jiang Li called to wake Qing’er.
Still half-awake, Qing’er felt irritated by the alarm. She fumbled for her phone only to find that it wasn’t her phone ringing.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at Jiang Li, then looked again at the dim morning sky. She yawned: “Uh– Going to the amusement park this early?”
“No, we are going for morning exercises.”
Qing’er put on her tracksuit and obediently followed Jiang Li for their early morning workout.
“We’re practicing this early because a day’s plan lies in the dawn, right? I understand that.”
“No, we don’t have such wisdom in our Nine Provinces. There once was a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm who cared for his juniors and thought that they would be most efficient practicing early in the morning, so he held the sun in the sky, making sure that only half of it was visible.”
“He later discovered that this method did not increase the juniors’ practices efficiency.”
“As a Five Elements Spiritual Root, you want to cultivate, you will have to put in far more effort than the average person. I have you up so early to practice only because we will be spending the day at an amusement park and have no time for training, so we need to make some time for it.”
“…”
The more time Qing’er spent with Jiang Li, the more she realized how terrifying cultivators were. This was the first time she had heard of artificially manipulated dawns.
“In fact, moving celestial bodies is quite common,” Jiang Li continued.
“When the Ascending Immortal Heavenly Ladder was still present, there was an Ascending Immortal senior who insisted that Nine Provinces Continent orbited around the sun. To prove his point, he pushed around Nince Provinces mainland around the sun every day.”
“What happened later?” Qing’er was curious.
“In the end, he was defeated by the other Ascending Immortal seniors, and returned Nine Provinces Continent back to its original position obediently.”
“Doesn’t Nine Provinces Continent have courses like geography and astronomy?”
Jiang Li thought for a while. He had never paid attention to it before, but now that he thought about it, it seemed as if there really were none.
“Is there a tale of being hit by an apple and consequently realizing the Law of Universal Gravitation?”
“There is. Legend has it that Buddha meditated under the Bodhi Tree and enlightened himself to the Buddhist Law. The Buddha’s Radiance promoted the growth of the Bodhi Tree. When a fruit fell from the Bodhi Tree and hit Buddha, he casually comprehended the Law of Universal Gravitation.”
“However, it is unknown if the story is true. Many cultivators believe that this is just Buddhism giving some extra shine to its face.”
“…” Qing’er rubbed her temples, feeling as if she wasn’t fully awake while Jiang Li was telling his stories.
Jiang Li and Qing’er arrived at the park for their early morning workout. Under Jiang Li’s guidance, Qing’er began practicing earnestly.
After spending some time practicing with Qing’er, Jiang Li saw a girl in white exercise clothes supporting an old man in a Tang suit, who was about seventy years old, with a sharp-eyed bodyguard behind them.
From the way the girl and the old man were walking and their breathing rates, they were martial artists.
