Chapter 548: Chapter 547: Finally Met Someone Who Knows About The Jiuzhou World

“Who is it!” Daoist Huiming shouted, glaring fiercely, appearing as majestic as a dragon dominating the sea. His voice thundered with endless oppressive might.

If a demon cultivator were to witness this sight, they would tremble in fear, pleading Daoist Huiming to spare their lives.

To Jiang Li, the overbearing pressure of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage was meaningless. He casually gestured, taking back Huiming’s pressure.

Huiming felt his pressure uncontrollably return to him, causing him to be taken aback. He couldn’t comprehend the technique Jiang Li had used.

“You have cultivated to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage after all, don’t be like Bai Hongtu, acting so jumpy without composure.”

“Here, try this Calming Tea I brewed. It has the effect of concentrating your Qi and calming your spirits, as well as rejuvenating your vital energy.” Jiang Li handed Wen Qing’er a cup of tea.

The so-called brewing was simply steeping Calming Pills in water.

“It tastes good.” Wen Qing’er sipped gently from her cup, her color gradually returning.

The Calming Tea was sweet, carrying a hint of freshness. After drinking it, Wen Qing’er felt herself calming down gradually.

Throughout the ordeal, Jiang Li was constantly alert to prevent anything unexpected from happening. He wouldn’t let Wen Qing’er suffer humiliation just to discover Wen Quan’s secret.

By the time Jiang Li turned his attention here, the playboy’s fate was sealed.

Huiming could tell at a glance that this Calming Tea was neither a product of the Qin Xin World nor the Jingyu World.

“May I ask where my fellow Daoist hails from?”

“This is not a suitable place to talk, perhaps we can change our location.” With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Li returned Wen Quan and Wen Qing’er back to their home.

Wen Quan was stunned and lost for words: “Could this be the ‘Heavenly Approach’ that teacher spoke of? The space-related Great Divine Power?!”

Huiming calmly corrected him: “No, he just moved you both quickly while you were still startled.”

“…”

Wen Quan was dumbfounded and did not know how to respond.

Wen Quan, who was ignorant of cultivation, did not realize how terrifying Jiang Li’s move was. The ability to execute such a move was far more difficult than mastering ‘Heavenly Approach’.

“Transcendence Tribulation Stage, no, are you an Immortal?” Huiming couldn’t see through Jiang Li.

“There’s no need for formalities. I have yet to become an Immortal. We are all ordinary people. We are all fellow Daoists here.”

“My name is Jiang Li, and I hail from the Jiuzhou World…”

“Jiuzhou World?! Known as the strongest world below the Immortal Realm!” Daoist Huiming’s sect had experienced the ascension of an immortal, who personally instructed Daoist Huiming and mentioned the Jiuzhou World during one of his idle talks.

Jiang Li was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had encountered someone who had heard of the Jiuzhou World.

“Yes, the Jiuzhou World as you understand it. After the ladder to immortality was severed, I had no choice but to find an alternative route. I created the Mahayana Stage above the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. I’m not an immortal, but my capabilities surpass that of Immortals. I am a Mahayana Realm Cultivator.”

Huiming bowed his fist in respect, saying solemnly, “My sincere apologies.”

This cultivator who pioneered these methods deserved his respect.

“So, this is why the ladder to immortality was severed. No wonder I could not find it according to the classics. When the ladder to immortality was severed, I had yet to reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and could not sense the existence of the ladder.”

“After reaching the Mahayana Stage, I traveled through the Ten Thousand Realms, constantly searching for traces of the Immortal Realm, and achieved some progress.”

Huiming nodded in understanding, guessing that Jiang Li was probably trying to find the immortal realm and ascend to immortality.

“In my travels through the Ten Thousand Realms, I stumbled upon your world. However, when I found the Jingyu World, it was all but ruins, and there were no survivors.”

Hearing this, Huiming’s mood visibly sank.

Wen Quan looked at Huiming in surprise. His Master had always avoided discussing his origins, so this was the reason.

“At that time, our world was attacked by an unidentified Immortal-class creature. The creature had the body of a toad, but with humanoid hands and feet, which was utterly disgusting to behold. The Old Bone and I took our Immortal Artifacts to resist in a hurry. Originally, we had a chance of winning. However, for some reason, the creature, despite lacking intelligence, was very familiar with our styles of battle and kept suppressing us.”

“When we were at a disadvantage, the creature’s round belly revealed two faces. Those were the faces of our predecessors who had ascended.”

“Seeing this, Old Bone’s Dao Heart collapsed, and he lost his desire to fight. My Dao heart was also greatly disturbed, and I wasn’t much better than him.”

“The gap between mortals and immortals is as vast as a chasm. Our bodies were decaying and our Immortal Artifacts were destroyed. Old Bone and I could no longer reverse the situation. Before dying, faced with this desperate situation, I stimulated my potential and created a forbidden spell. I sacrificed my chance of reincarnation and allowed the souls of cultivators who died in the battle to remain in the world, hoping to use a massive amount of soul power to defeat the Immortal-class creature.”

“But I failed. Indeed, I caused the cultivators to stay in the world, but as souls, they could not intervene in reality. We could only watch.”

“We watched helplessly as the Immortal-class creature and the monsters it spawned destroyed our world without being able to do anything.”

“Later, there was a collision between the worlds, causing spatial turbulence. I was unconscious due to exhausting too much energy. When I woke up again, I found that my soul was attached to a pendant, and the holder of the pendant was Wen Quan.”

Wen Quan interjected: “That pendant is an amulet that my grandmother left for me. She said that she encountered several dangers, and it was thanks to the amulet that she turned danger into safety.”

“I found that although I couldn’t directly influence reality, I could exert my power through Wen Quan as a medium.”

“The stronger Wen Quan is, the more power I can exert. However, if the opponent is also a soul, I can unrestrictedly use the power of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, as demonstrated when I struck down True Man Wanku.”

“I speculate that I am not the only one who chose to possess a host. Maybe all of the cultivators who came to this world made the same choice.”

“I passed on the cultivation techniques to this kid in the hope that I could exert more power.”

“Moreover, this kid’s talents are really not bad. He has a dual attribute spiritual root and managed to reach the fourth stage of Qi cultivation in just two short months.”

Wen Qing’er sized her brother up and down: “I remember you have been secretive for these two months, became physically better, kept a regular schedule, and even your memory improved. You managed not to fail your college final exams.”

“This kid didn’t fail because I cheated spiritually and helped him see the answers. Otherwise, he would have failed the exam.”

“You dare to cheat? You’ve got some guts.” Wen Qing’er teased her brother.

Wen Quan defended himself: “Master, you have to speak the entire truth. You clearly said that the exam would delay my cultivation and that you would take care of it.”

“Don’t pay attention to these little details.”

“Can I cultivate too?” Wen Qing’er pointed at herself, her heart itching with curiosity, also wanting to cultivate.

Without even thinking, Huiming flatly refused: “You only have the Five Elements Spiritual Root. Your aptitude is too poor. Cultivating would simply be a waste of spiritual energy. In the Jingyu World, anyone with Five Elements Spiritual Root is a mortal, without the qualifications to cultivate.”

However, Jiang Li laughed and said: “Spiritual energy is infinite. How can there be such a thing as waste? If you want to cultivate, I can guide you on your journey.”
