Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Never Killed a Person
Translator: 549690339
“Buddha sect WuZhi pays respect to the Human Emperor!”
“Confucian sect King Change pays respect to the Human Emperor!”
WuZhi the Buddhist and King Change were both excited and immediately knelt before Human Emperor as if he was their own master, with great respect.
As the strongest being in the nine provinces, Jiang Li can be said to be the idol of all the younger generations. In an age where they cannot ascend, their goal is to become a powerhouse like Jiang Li.
Jiang Li blocked their voices. These two knew his identity and were respectful, but if other passengers on the ship learned of this, they would definitely surround him.
Jiang Li felt like a superstar from his previous life, always having to wear sunglasses when going out to shop, for fear of being recognized.
“All you know is to fight. You almost fell into a trap and turned into evil!” Jiang Li rebuked the two juniors in an elder’s tone.
The two who were just acting high and mighty, acknowledged their mistake and promised not to commit it again.
As the two admitted their mistakes, Jiang Li didn’t say much: “Are you both attending Dao Sect’s Immortal Artifact Appreciation Convention as well? Where are your masters? Why send you two juniors to represent the sect?”
“My master said he is at a critical stage of understanding the path of space and cannot be distracted, so he let me go.” replied WuZhi the Buddhist.
Jiang Li understood. It seems that the old Buddha Sumeru has made progress in his understanding of the path of space.
King Change hesitated for a while, and finally said, “My master said that every time he sees the Dao Sect Master, he gets angry…”
“So he let you go on his behalf?” Jiang Li knew about the feud between the Confucian Sect Hierarch and Dao Sect Master.
He proudly showed the Dao Sect Master his well-cultivated subjects, claiming that human nature is fundamentally good with honesty and integrity.
The Dao Sect Master, however, believed that humans are naturally greedy. He took out a handful of high-quality spirit stones and threw them on the roadside. As expected, the polite crowd started to fight for them which made the Confucian Sect Hierarch turn green with anger.
“No, he said he wanted to see the self-forging of the immortal artifact, so he let me officially represent him while he sneaked in by himself.”
“…Your master is quite ingenious.”
What Jiang Li really wanted to say was, isn’t your master afraid that his pure and righteous Dao heart would be shattered? “What do you plan to do with this eagle demon?”
“Please give us some advice, Human Emperor Jiang.”
Jiang Li laughed and said, “Since you caught it, naturally you should deal with it. Why are you asking me?”
The Buddhist Wu Zhi thought, “Should we show some compassion and let it
The eagle demon immediately said when he heard this, “The Buddhist disciple is indeed a virtuous man. If I am released, I will build a sanctuary for you to ensure that the incense will never be extinguished.”
King Change shook his head: “Should we release it and let it rob other flying boats again? It’s better to kill it.”
The Buddhist Wu Zhi was tempted, but hesitated: “But it hasn’t killed anyone.
Isn’t the punishment too heavy if we kill it?”
“Yes, yes! I never killed anyone!” The eagle demon immediately defended itself. It was afraid that if it didn’t speak up quickly, it would be slaughtered by these two men.
The demon glanced at Wu Zhi, the Buddhist disciple, who had a murderous look, and thought, “How can this be called a monk?!”
The Buddhist Wu Zhi felt torn. Although the demon didn’t seem to be telling the truth, he couldn’t just kill it for lying, even if it turned out to be a mistake. Because killing him would bring dust to his clear and spiritual state of mind.
King Change took out the Great Confucian Word Post and wrote the character for “truth” on it and then posted it on the body of the demon.
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
The eagle demon replied, “No.”
“You only rob the spirit stones of the flying boats and never kill anyone?”
“I don’t kill.”
King Change said to Wu Zhi, the Buddhist disciple, “The Word Post I used just now is for ‘truth’, and now it can only tell the truth. Since it says it hasn’t killed anyone, then it would seem it’s not a wicked monster, let it go.” The Buddhist Wu Zhi nodded: “That’s fine.”
Just as the eagle demon thought it would get away with its life, Jiang Li suddenly asked, “Have you ever thought about one thing? Can the flying boat fly after it has been robbed of its spirit stones?” “Huh!
The two instantly grasped what he meant.
Yes, the eagle demon simply robs the spirit stones. But without the spirit stones, the spiritual energy of the people on the boat is not enough to land the boat. Even if the boat lands, it will land in the territory of the White Marsh Emperor.
The fate of a group of practitioners with depleted spiritual energy in the White Marsh Emperor’s domain is clear!
Perhaps feeling that their intelligence was being insulted, the two did not go easy on the eagle demon, whose end was quite unpleasant.
“That’s why I say, don’t always rely on treasures, use your brain more. You should have thought of it even without a True Word Post. The fact that the eagle demon stole the spirit stones would definitely lead to the death of the passengers.”
When Jiang Li asked how they intended to deal with the eagle demon, he wanted to see how far they could think.
As expected, they could only think one step at a time, foolishly using the True Word Post to test its truth. But they didn’t ask the right questions and nearly let go of this murderous eagle demon believing it to be a good demon.
Jiang Li continued to teach the two juniors, wondering how on earth they made it to the Nascent Soul Stage. He certainly wasn’t so naive when he was at that stage.
He felt like all the previous Human Emperors had died in battle, while he would die of overexertion.
Couldn’t they give him a break?!
Jiang Li decided to treat this Immortal Artifact Evaluation Convention as a vacation and absolutely, definitely wouldn’t interfere anymore!
Even the Human Emperor needs a vacation!
[New task: Although you ranked first, your classmates laugh at you for your low cultivation level and say you don’t deserve the first place. They want you to drop out. Please make a significant appearance in the cultivation test at the end of the semester.] [This task is available…]
“Abandon. ”
Without even looking at the reward, Jiang Li gave up directly. Since he couldn’t reach the Immortal Realm relying on the system, why bother with the tasks?
Could it possibly release another “Mystery of the Immortal Realm” task?
About ten days later, the flying boat finally landed near the Dao Sect.
As soon as they disembarked, they were warmly welcomed by Bai Hongtu, the Dao Sect Master himself. Standing beside him was the embarrassed Confucian Sect Hierarch Dong Zhongren.
King Change felt ashamed and wanted to stay on the flying boat.
Obviously, his master’s stealth plan failed.
In the end, it’s the Buddhist Wu Zhi who dragged King Change off the flying boat.
“On behalf of the Dao Sect, I warmly welcome the Human Emperor Jiang Li to attend the Immortal Artifact Evaluation Convention!” Dao Sect Master Bai Hongtu gave Jiang Li a big laugh and a hug.
Jiang Li also laughed and hugged him back, lightly patting Bai Hongtu’s back.
With a smile on his face, Bai Hongtu endured the pain.
Behind Bai Hongtu, thousands of Dao Sect disciples bowed and unanimously said, “Welcome, Human Emperor Jiang!”
It was evident that Bai Hongtu was genuinely delighted to welcome Jiang Li.
“And the Holy Woman of Pure Heart. It’s been many years, and your relationship with the Human Emperor seems to be the same as ever.”
The Holy Woman Pure Heart struggled to smile and didn’t strike out on the spot.
“I’ve always wanted to ask you, how is the research on the Great Array of Jiuzhou coming along? Is it almost finished?”
Bai Hongtu grimaced and complained, “You come and ask this kind of upsetting question first. The hair on my head is almost falling out due to the research on the Jiuzhou Array. Can we talk about something happier?”
Jiang Li sneered, “Transcendence Tribulation Stage can revive with a single drop of blood. I can help you get down to a single drop of blood, and you can revive and regrow hair.”
“Even a landlord wouldn’t be as harsh as you!”
Bai Hongtu immediately smiled and said, “Luckily, I’ve figured out the Jiuzhou Array. Now, all I need is one Immortal Artifact as the array eye..”
