Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Immortal Artifact Gathering

CΟntinue reading on ΒƟXNΟVEL.ϹʘMAfter Jiang Li’s heartfelt persuasion, the Sect Master and the three elders of the Luban Sect, filled with the arrogance of wisdom, thought highly of themselves and forgave the fools of the outside world.

To move the sect only because they had been offended by a bunch of old farts? Only idiots would do that.

The four unanimously agreed to abandon the idea of moving their sect, and decided to stay within the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.

“Problem solved.” Jiang Li informed Yu Yin.

“You are truly good at coaxing.”

“How can you call it coaxing? Can you put your hand on your heart and tell me I spoke a single lie?” Jiang Li stared wide-eyed.

“I don’t have a conscience,” Yu Yin said expressionlessly, causing Jiang Li to choke.

“I feel like I’ve forgotten something,” Jiang Li thought to himself when he had some leisure time. It seemed like there was something he needed to do?

“Oh, I remember now, I didn’t tell Ji Zhi about the Luban Sect issue.” Jiang Li smacked his forehead, Ji Zhi was probably still rushing to amend the marriage law.

Jiang Li flew towards Da Zhou.

Jiang Li could have just sent a message to Ji Zhi using the Remote Communication Talisman, but he wanted to seek out Ji Zhi for his study in time travel, so he personally went to Da Zhou.

What if he learned it this time?

Yu Yin gazed up at the Sky Desolate Halberd, far in the sky.

Yu Yin was sold to the Crown Princess by her parents when she was young, to exchange for glory and wealth. She didn’t like her family.

The Crown Prince at the time didn’t treat Yu Yin as his fiancée, but rather as a tool to become the Human Emperor, a plaything.

Having grown up in such an environment, Yu Yin rarely spoke. She was reclusive, and her eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness.

She yearned for someone to be by her side, but she was once a Crown Princess Consort, now an Empress. These two identities destined her for a life with few friends. If it weren’t for Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, who were optimistic by nature, she probably wouldn’t have a single friend.

Yu Yin felt pity for the Sky Desolate Halberd, thinking it had been abandoned by its master, helpless, lonely, and miserable, probably crying alone in a corner, which was too pitiful.

Yu Yin wanted to care for the Sky Desolate Halberd in place of Jiang Li.

She flew to the skies above the Jiuzhou continent, arriving at the location of the protective matrix core.

“Come, everyone, enjoy yourselves. This is my territory, no one is in charge!” the Sky Desolate Halberd shouted.

Nine aerial dance maidens swayed their waists, gliding their feet, performing an elegant dance.

A hundred songstresses plucked their stringed instruments, softly singing, their voices melodious and charming, the bell chimes humming faintly.

“I just love Sky Desolate’s boisterous character. The Confucians hum and haw in everything, it’s so annoying.” The Great Confucian Word Post twisted its figure, dancing with the music, it tore itself until only the cover was left.

The dancers and songstresses were all its transformations.

The Four Seas Dragon Ball and Mount Heshan were laughing, crashing into each other, creating sparks.

“Haha, none of you can compare to my hardness,” Mount Heshan laughed out loud.

“Brother Stone, be gentler. We can’t handle being hit like this,” the Four Seas Dragon Ball cried out in pain, but soon after, they recklessly collided again with each other, resulting in a lively atmosphere.

The immortal artifacts and unique weapons enjoyed themselves tremendously.

Yu Yin found this scene quite different from what she had imagined.

“Ruyi, you’re here. Come and join us!” the Sky Desolate Halberd invited Yu Yin and the Ruyi Gourd upon seeing them.

“We immortal artifacts and the Sky Desolate Halberd occasionally have gatherings,” the Ruyi Gourd explained quietly.

Jiang Li arrived at Da Zhou, finding Ji Zhi arguing fiercely with several ministers.

“What’s wrong with the concept of ‘human’? Why can’t I use it, using ‘human’ as the subject of the marriage, won’t that avoid the Spiritual Treasures from marrying?” Ji Zhi roared, slapping the case, causing the memorials on it to bounce up.

‘”Human’ means human race. Your Majesty, by using the concept of ‘human’, how will the demon race and spirits marry in Da Zhou, are they not citizens of Da Zhou too?”

Da Zhou was not only home to the human race, occasionally there were also demon races and spirits, but they were few in number.

“Who said that ‘human’ just means human race? The human race, the demon race, and spirits can all be counted as ‘human’. Is the Human Emperor, the Emperor of the human race? Don’t the demon race and spirits also fall under the Human Emperor’s jurisdiction? You can ask Jiang Li, and see how he interprets the ‘human’ of the Human Emperor.”

“Your Majesty, you…”

“You guys…”

The argument between the two parties was so heated that it seemed like they were about to raise the roof. Jiang Li was startled by the ruckus. Those in the know understood that the argument was about amending the law; those who didn’t probably thought it was two armies battling each other.

“Excuse me, the Luban Sect has agreed not to move to Da Zhou. You guys don’t need to argue so fiercely,” Jiang Li finally appeared and said.

“This has nothing to do with the Luban Sect! And also, we are not arguing!” Ji Zhi yelled at the top of his lungs.

“Right, this has nothing to do with the Luban Sect. This matter is about the rigor of the law, even His Majesty should not casually expand the concept!” several elderly ministers refused to back down. They had studied the law their whole lives, held great authority, and weren’t afraid of Ji Zhi.

“Jiang Li, you tell us, what is your concept of ‘human!!”

The Human Emperor Jiang Li had his own interpretation of the term “human”. The beings that the Human Emperor protected were not just the human race, but all sentient beings in Jiuzhou, including the human race, demon race, spirits, and also Spiritual Treasures.

Jiang Li governed the White Marsh Emperor Dynasty; the Eldertree Marquis, being a spirit, became the marshal, all these clearly illustrated the point. He believed that all creatures with a spirit, and not ‘immortals’, should be categorized as ‘human’.

“1 nave sometnmg else to attend to; you guys continue your discussion.” ‘l’nese people could argue about one concept for a whole month. Jiang Li didn’t want to get involved.

Jiang Li found Ji Kongkong, watching her transform into a white fish, practicing time travel, her sister was in charge of teaching her.

“Uncle Jiang.” The second princess of Da Zhou greeted Jiang Li as soon as she saw him.

“I remember you are called Ji Huayu?”

“Yes.” Ji Huayu was a little excited when Jiang Li remembered her name.

“Practicing the art of time travel, I see? You keep practicing. I’ll just watch for a while, ” Jiang Li said cheerfully.

Originally, Ji Kongkong had wanted to transform back into human form and put on her clothes to meet Uncle Jiang. Hearing Uncle Jiang say this, she decided otherwise and continued practicing the art of time travel.

Ji Huayu also put in her full effort to teach Ji Kongkong.

“Practicing the art of time travel allows one to know everything from past to present, but what one can see from the time of the past and the future is limited by their cultivation level and natural talent. For instance, our father, with his increasing level of cultivation, can now see events from 280 years ago, but when it comes to the future, he can still only see up to one day ahead. Seeing the future is much more difficult than seeing the past.”

“Kongkong, you should be familiar with this. You can see events from nine hours ago, yet you can only see three minutes into the future.”

“Moreover, being able to see the past and the future is only considered a minor accomplishment in the art of time travel. Our ancestor Shun once said, the time of all heavens and infinite realms appear in an independent space, which is the River of Time. There, it is treated as space, but it is not the general concept of space. Only by reaching the River of Time is the art of time travel considered to have minor success.”

“But you’re still young, the River of Time is too far-fetched for you. Usually, one needs to chant an incantation to enter the River of Time. I’ll teach you the content of the incantation when the time comes.”

Ji Kongkong jumped out of the water, landing on Jiang Li’s palm, showing off, “I feel I have touched upon the threshold of the River of Time, second sister, do you think that’s the case?”

Ji Kongkong and Jiang Li progressively grew faint, losing their sense of existence, until they disappeared.

Ji Huayu incredulously witnessed the scene before her.

Ji Kongkong had taken Uncle Jiang to the River of Time!?

She didn’t even know the incantation yet!
