Chapter 442: Chapter 441: The Real Mature Woman, Chen Jing Can Do it
After successfully "earning" a large sum of money, Li Jing directly took Yulian back to Jianghai.
After landing on the seashore, he handed over a set of Supreme God Pattern to Yulian.
"Ayu, I’m about to send you into the mini-universe."
"Mm."
Yulian obediently received the God Pattern, then spoke.
"You go on with your business, I’m going into the mini universe to find Ling Ling and absorb the Lower God Pattern to become a god. Once I’m done, let me out."
Listening to this, Li Jing was taken aback and asked.
"You’re not planning to absorb all the God Patterns at once?"
"Whether sooner or later, I can absorb them all eventually. There’s no need to rush."
Yulian smiled lightly and added.
"According to what you told me before, it only takes a few days to absorb the Lower, Intermediate, and Upper God Patterns, but the Supreme God Pattern would take about two months. This is too long, I have a lot of things to handle outside. I promised to follow you to the Immortal Realm, so I need to ensure my company is in order. Besides, the company has hundreds of thousands of people to support. I can’t just leave all of a sudden."
Having said that, she continued.
"The company is the result of my many years of hard work, I don’t want it to falter because I left."
Listening to her, Li Jing nodded silently.
This aspect, he was a bit thoughtless.
Although Yulian is a fox demon, she is also the CEO of a large entertainment company.
And in the past year, her company’s business has flourished, almost becoming an industry leader.
If she suddenly disappears, the impact would be enormous.
Just as he was about to explain, Yulian lightly brushed her hair from her forehead.
"You probably have a lot of things to do next, but it’s late at night and many things can’t be done. Wait until I’ve absorbed the Lower God Pattern, I’ll accompany you for the night as compensation for making you wait for three months."
"..."
Li Jing.
Yulian, this...
Isn’t that so straightforward!
Accompany for a night.
Compensation!
Glancing at Yulian whose cheeks were flushed, Li Jing coughed.
"Ayu, is your ’accompany for a night’ proper?"
"..."
Yulian.
She’s already said that, and he’s still asking if it’s proper?
If it was proper, would it be called accompanying for a night?
Yulian looked at his hopeful face and said,
"Just to be clear, I have to leave at dawn to handle the company’s business."
Yulian’s response wasn’t exactly answering his question, but it confirmed Li Jing’s suspicions.
Truth be told.
He had been longing for Yulian for quite a while.
Can’t help it.
The charming fox demon’s irresistible charm, no one could resist.
While excited, he maintained a relative calm and hesitated to speak up.
"Uh, you know, we don’t need to go that fast, you don’t have to..."
Before he could finish, Yulian tilted her head.
"You don’t want me?"
"..."
Li Jing.
This question was just too blunt.
"Fine, hurry up and send me to the mini universe, then finish whatever you need to do."
Yulian spoke again, then lightly bit her lower lip.
"Strictly speaking, we’ve already had a round, haven’t we? Having known each other this long, and everything that should have been vetted has been vetted. There’s no need for a proper love relationship. You don’t need to worry too much, since I’ve decided to follow you, I’ll be your woman for this life."
This seemingly casual statement truly left Li Jing speechless for a moment.
Not only was Yulian straightforward, she was also unbelievably "domineering".
She forced him into a bit of a jumble.
This...
Could it be a real mature woman?
Since she’s said that, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate any longer.
Pulling Yulian closer, Li Jing looked serious.
"I’ll finish up my affairs as quickly as possible."
"That serious tone of yours, can’t you use it on serious matters?"
Yulian smiled.
"Um."
Li Jing coughed. Without saying much, he sent her into the mini universe.
By this point, it was already late at night.
Handling some affairs would take some time.
It would also take Yulian at least two hours to absorb the first Lower God Pattern.
If they didn’t hurry, there wouldn’t be much time left until daybreak.
As luck would have it.
Just as Li Jing sent Yulian away, his phone rang with a melodious tone.
He instinctively took out his phone.
In sight was Jiang Liao calling.
Seeing that it was Jiang Liao calling, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.
Not to mention Jiang Liao who was far away in the capital, even Chen Jing still didn’t know that he had returned to the mortal world.
Jiang Liao suddenly calling indicated that his identity had been confirmed by the Daohe Alliance.
This efficiency was admittedly high.
However, after a second thought, Li Jing understood.
He did not bring any Administration Bureau or Patrol Bureau credentials on his trip to the Daohe Alliance, but the Ten Thousand Remnants Absolute Shadow was highly distinctive because he had used it in the capital before.
Plus, with the satellite imagery to judge his rough body shape, those who are familiar with him could easily link him.
Without thinking too much, Li Jing picked up the call.
"Uncle Jiang, you’re looking for me?"
Before the words had settled, Jiang Liao’s voice came through the phone.
"You little rascal, you’re deliberately provoking trouble, right?"
"No, no."
Li Jing laughed awkwardly and then said,
"Uncle, this time it’s not me stirring up trouble, it’s the Daohe Alliance playing dirty. My woman was crossing her tribulation, and the Daohe Alliance launched missiles to interfere. Both morally and logically, I should teach them a lesson."
"Your woman?"
Jiang Liao’s tone was strange, and he said,
"You... have you found a monster?"
"This is my private affair. Uncle, you need not worry about it."
Li Jing spoke.
With this response, Jiang Liao was silent for a while before he finally responded.
"Where is Yini? She should be with you. You have returned to the mundane world, but she is not by your side?"
"Yini is fine, Uncle, please do not worry."
This was Li Jing’s reply.
"She has found a good opportunity in Heavenly Saint Land and is currently in seclusion to absorb it. If everything goes smoothly, she should come out of seclusion in a month and a half."
Jiang Liao is of course concerned about his family.
Hearing that Jiang Yini was processing a good opportunity, Jiang Liao didn’t ask further and simply said,
"Can you make it to the Capital now? I’m not summoning you to confront you about the Daohe Alliance incident. With your current capabilities, I’m unable to confront you anyway. However, it is a serious matter, and I need to understand some situations from you in person."
"I will go to the Capital, but not now."
Li Jing replied.
"Could you wait for me for two days, Uncle? I still have some matters to deal with in Jianghai. Also, I have some small matters that require your assistance. We can discuss the details when we meet."
"Alright, contact me when you’re ready."
Jiang Liao agreed without hesitation.
If it were anyone else being summoned by the Director of Management Bureau and making him wait for two days, Jiang Liao would certainly show displeasure.
The Director of the Administration Bureau is a position that demands respect, isn’t it?
But Li Jing was different.
Not only did he solve the mysterious case of his loved one, but his current cultivation level is also enviable.
Not long ago, the scene of Daohe Alliance confronting him had stirred the nerves of the entire international community.
Not everyone was self-preserving, but everyone, including the powerful White Hawk, was desperate to know who the mysterious person who could obliterate Daohe at a whim was.
Li Jing’s existence will cast a far-reaching influence on Longyu.
One cannot hide a fire with paper.
His identity will soon be made known to the outside world.
Longyu needs to respond to this matter actively.
If handled well, this could lead to a soaring of fortunes. If handled poorly, Longyu may face worldwide criticism.
Within this context.
The stance of other countries or forces does not matter.
The most important thing is what Li Jing’s stance is.
...
Li Jing, of course, understood the extent of the impact of what he had caused.
Though his actions seemed casual, they were always meticulously planned.
But as matters stood now.
He had completely shown his hand.
There was no need to hide in the mundane world anymore?
Before leaving, it was best to stand out and reap as many benefits as possible.
After ending the call with Jiang Liao, Li Jing took one stride and appeared directly in the office of the Director of North City Patrol Bureau.
As the director of the North City Patrol Bureau, Chen Jing was usually quite dedicated.
As a Six Realm Expert, he didn’t require much sleep.
On a typical working day, unless there was something special, he would stay in the office to handle official duties until midnight before leaving.
It was precisely midnight right now.
When Li Jing arrived, Chen Jing was just about to pack and go home to rest.
Suddenly realizing that there was an extra person in his office, Chen Jing was taken aback and looked up cautiously.
Upon seeing Li Jing, he was slightly startled.
All else was fine.
But how did Li Jing get here? He had no idea.
By the time he noticed, the person had already popped out.
Seeing Chen Jing, Li Jing just smiled.
"Uncle, I came to greet you."
Receiving such a greeting, Chen Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This kid was getting more and more cunning.
Suddenly popping out to scare people, and then saying he came to greet him.
He wasn’t an emperor who needed to be greeted with such formalities, was he?
Shaking his head, Chen Jing scoffed and said,
"You are getting more and more capable, little guy. Before, I just had a bit of trouble seeing through you, but now I can’t even sense how you approached me. It seems that your trip to Heavenly Saint Land has brought you many rewards."
While speaking, he also looked puzzled.
"I remember the passage to the Heavenly Saint Land should still be open for a while, why did you suddenly come out?"
"There’s nothing worthy of my attention there, so I thought it would be better to come back early rather than stay in the Secret Realm."
Li Jing responded and continued,
"Uncle, I came to you late at night because I had something to ask."
As he said this, he took out the Immortal King Command.
Seeing the Immortal King Command, Chen Jing was stunned and questioned in disbelief,
"Where did you get this golden command?"
"The Heavenly Path gave it to me."
Li Jing answered truthfully.
"..."
Chen Jing.
In the mundane world, several Immortal King Commands are being circulated.
In Longyu territory, there are five.
These five Immortal King Commands are all in the hands of some old monsters who keep themselves hidden from the world.
Then there are more than ten more in the hands of various major hidden world sects, kept by the outstanding disciples in the sects.
The significance of the Immortal King Command is profound.
Whether it is lost or abused, both are extremely serious events.
Leaving aside the true purpose of the Immortal King Command, which few people know,
The Immortal King Command is both a symbol and a credential in Longyu, which can grant great privileges.
Seeing the Immortal King Command in Li Jing’s hands, Chen Jing’s first reaction was that he either stole it or picked it up.
Yet he didn’t expect to be told by Li Jing that the Heavenly Path gave it to him.
This...
Frankly, it left Chen Jing at a loss.
What seemed like a preposterous claim had implications far beyond imagining.
For a moment, Chen Jing was unsure about the situation.
The Heavenly Path, no one has seen it.
Let alone giving things to people.
In fact,
As one of the carriers of the Immortal King Command, Chen Jing didn’t even know that this object was passed down by the will of the Heavenly Path.
Seeing the astonishment on Chen Jing’s face, Li Jing didn’t keep him guessing and said with a smile,
"Uncle, to be frank, I have now entered the Ninth Realm. The Heavenly Path’s will found me when I returned from Heavenly Saint Land. She gave me the Immortal King Command, requesting that I ascend to the Celestial Realm and leave Blue Star."
"..."
Chen Jing.
For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.
Li Jing.....
The Ninth Realm?
He knew Li Jing was a freak, he always had known that.
But this...
Isn’t it too fast?
Just two months apart, and he’s in the Ninth Realm!?
After a long silence, Chen Jing looked up.
"What will happen to Yuran if you leave?"
"..."
Li Jing.
He came to ask Chen Jing if he had any idea what the Immortal Realm looked like.
As the holder of the Immortal King Command, Chen Jing would certainly know something.
The fact that Chen Jing showed no surprise at the mention of the Immortal Realm also confirmed that he indeed knew something.
But this question from Chen Jing caught him off guard.
What should he say?
Such a dedicated daughter enthusiast.
After a silent sigh, Li Jing opened his mouth.
"Uncle, rest assured, I will go seek Yuran’s opinion soon. If she’s willing, I will take her to the Immortal Realm with me."
"The Immortal King Command requires the power of the Ninth Realm to truly function and can only be used by one person at a time. How can you take her with you?"
Chen Jing shook his head, saying.
"Furthermore, the Immortal Realm is not a safe place, Yuran is barely in the Fifth Boundary, even if the Immortal Realm has better conditions and resources it is still too dangerous for her."
"For this matter, Uncle, you don’t have to worry, I have a way to sneak her in."
Li Jing smiled, saying.
"As for strength, when I received the Immortal King Command, I deduced that the Immortal Realm is merely a better environment, at most a broader world. Even though there are many strong people there, not everyone starts from the Ninth Realm."
As he said this, he added.
"I also have a set of Supreme God Patterns prepared for Yuran. Once she absorbs and digests them, she should at least reach the Eighth Realm and gain control of a Power of Rules."
These words from Li Jing left Chen Jing stunned.
He knew what kind of person Li Jing was.
Since he dared to say it, he certainly had the ability to "smuggle" people in.
This...
Was really quite impressive.
If the higher-ups in the sect and those who have been stuck in the Eighth Realm for hundreds of years but failed to find a breakthrough knew about this, they would probably come over to act obsequiously in a minute.
The Immortal Realm is not a benevolent place.
This was unquestionable.
It was also undeniable that the Immortal Realm was the only way to a higher level.
The Ninth Realm was the limit of the current world.
For any progress, one would have to go to the Immortal Realm.
Who would not want the opportunity to go ahead of time?
Li Jing was right.
The Immortal Realm is just a broader world, where there are simply more strong people and the competition is more intense. There are also ordinary people there.
But what surprised Chen Jing the most was, Li Jing said he had a God Pattern.
Ordinary people would think it was nonsense when they heard about God Patterns.
But Chen Jing was different.
As the custodian of the Immortal King Command, he knew many secrets of the world.
God Patterns.
They existed.
They were things that were essential to becoming a deity in the West.
With God Patterns, one could become a god.
Chen Jing also knew that people with God Patterns could enhance the quality of their God Patterns by devouring them.
What’s more, he knew that a God Pattern, a treasure that only exists in a place like the Immortal Realm.
There were two paths: Ascend to immortality in the East and become a god in the West.
Those who practice the Orthodox Immortality Path are ascended to the Immortal Realm after the Ninth Realm.
Those who practice the faith system ascend to the Divine Domain after the Ninth Realm.
The only difference is,
There is only one Immortal Realm, while the Divine Domain is divided into factions due to different beliefs.
When he looked at Li Jing, Chen Jing fell silent for a long time, then finally asked.
"Do you really have God Patterns in your possession?"
"Yes, I got quite a few in the Heavenly Saint Land, but I don’t have many left."
Li Jing smiled.
As he spoke, he casually took out forty Lower God Patterns, twenty Middle God Patterns and ten Upper God Patterns and put them on the table.
"This is for you and your wife. I only have one piece of the Supreme God Pattern left and I have to give it to Yuran, You will have to make do."
"..."
Chen Jing.
Li Jing said he has them, so he has them. He believed him.
But when Li Jing said it so casually, it was somewhat unbelievable.
He didn’t expect Li Jing to pull out more than seventy and offer to help him and Jiang Jingxian achieve highest level god status.
What has Li Jing been through?
Where did he get so many God Patterns?
Normally, getting a single God Pattern is a big deal.
And from the tone of Li Jing,
These are just the leftovers from what he had reserved for Chen Yuran.
Endless questions swirled in Chen Jing’s mind.
But he didn’t ask any more questions.
Looking down at the pile of God Patterns, Chen Jing happily accepted them and said.
"It’s rare that you are so respectful. I’ll accept the gift. If Yuran is willing to go with you, you can take her with you. Take good care of her for me."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing laughed and said,
"If Uncle and Auntie are willing, I can bring..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jing shook his head.
"Although I don’t know how you can smuggle people, I can’t just leave. I need to sit in North City and as a member of the Taoist school, I have my own responsibilities. I can’t just leave as I please. Besides, even though your aunt has left the Jiang family, she still has contact with them. She has her own responsibilities as well."
As he said this, he calmly said,
"With these God Patterns you gave me, my entry into the Eighth Realm with Jingxian is only a matter of time. Once we breakthrough the Ninth Realm, we can naturally go to the Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing Chen Jing’s words, Li Jing silently nods.
He’d heard similar words from Yulian before.
Chen Jing and Jiang Jingxian are indeed different from him.
He isn’t attached to much.
Just a few people around him who he can count on one hand, and he doesn’t bear much responsibility.
Now that Chen Jing has made his intentions clear, he naturally wouldn’t say much.
"Let’s get to the point."
Chen Jing spoke, saying,
"You came looking for me, most likely to understand more about the Immortal Realm. But I suppose, you might know more than I do, since you’ve gleaned some true information through the Immortal King Command, whereas most of my knowledge is hearsay. However, my Taoist school does have some information passed down from ancestors, and in fact, there have been predecessors who have ascended to the Immortal Realm and returned to this world. "
"Can those in the Immortal Realm still have a chance to come back?"
Li Jing was surprised.
"They can, but at a great cost."
Chen Jing replied, saying,
"Don’t fantasize the Immortal Realm as a utopia, it’s merely the lower strata of the Upper Three Realms. The thing to note is that the Immortal Realm is not bound by laws like the present world, there it’s simply a matter of the strongest fist ruling the roost. Resources in the Immortal Realm are of prime importance, accompanied by immense danger. Killing for treasures is a common occurrence there, and as such, having a strong background is crucial."
After saying that, Chen Jing went on,
"Once you reach the Immortal Realm, the first thing you should do is to join the group formed by our seniors from Longyu. Not only the Longyu people, but anyone who has cultivated the Orthodox Immortality Path, whether they’re from Blue Star or the Secret Realm, they can all ascend to the Immortal Realm. Besides, the native forces of the Immortal Realm are also quite strong."
"Of course, considering your ability and growth rate, not joining any group can also be an option. Being under someone else’s roof does have its disadvantages. Frankly speaking, it is quite an achievement for our seniors, who ascended much earlier than you, to have survived until now. Traveling alone may encounter more difficulties, but growing amidst difficulties could be faster."
After a pause of two speeches, Chen Jing said,
"This is all I can tell you, the rest is for you to explore."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded.
Though Chen Jing didn’t say much, he clarified what the Immortal Realm truly is.
Li Jing is well-acquainted with this situation.
Before the transmigration, he read plenty of novels about it.
Murder for treasure, various power groups.
He’s quite familiar with these aspects.
Checking the time on his phone, Li Jing got up.
"Uncle, absorbing the first Lower God Pattern would be quite difficult and requires a decent ability to endure. I have a helper here that can reduce the difficulty, so maybe we should..."
Before he could finish, Chen Jing waved his hand.
"No need to belittle our Longyu’s heritage, we know the use and methods of using the God Pattern no less than you do. I and your aunt do not need you to worry about us. Also, I’m not yet ready to step into the Seventh Realm, we’ll discuss it when the time is right."
Hearing Chen Jing say this, Li Jing knew enough not to press further.
He wouldn’t belittle the inheritance of the Taoist school.
He also understood Chen Jing’s concerns.
As he entered the Seventh Realm, Chen Jing would have to "retire".
Without giving it much thought, Li Jing spoke:
"In that case, Uncle, I will take my leave."
"Go ahead."
Chen Jing smiled, saying,
"Once Yuran is found, remember to gather at home. Don’t just sneak away, or your aunt will be mad at you in the Immortal Realm, and I won’t be helping."
"Understood."
Li Jing nodded, took a step forward, tore the space apart and disappeared.
Chen Jing, seeing this, was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he let out a deep breath.
His son-in-law is quite a freak, quite an anomaly!
The Ninth Realm.
Chen Jing had never seen it.
But he knew.
An ordinary Ninth Realm might not be as skilled as Li Jing...
...
After the meeting with Chen Jing, Li Jing went straight back to his villa.
It had been more than an hour.
In the Little Universe, Yulian was almost done.
It was not suitable to go to other places in the middle of the night, why not just go home and get clean?
After a comfortable hot bath, Li Jing lay on the bed to relax, played with his phone for a while, then with an idea, opened the Little Universe.
Immediately after.
Yulian appeared by his side.
Yulian had just finished, and had not had time to wind up.
Without warning, she was taken out of the Little Universe, and she was stunned.
Then she saw Li Jing lying nearby in a bathrobe, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
"Have you waited long?"
"Not too long, I just got back myself."
Li Jing smiled.
"Are you clean now?"
Yulian tilted her head, her cheeks turning slightly red.
She may be very dignified.
But at such a critical moment, she would still feel shy.
In response to the question, Li Jing nodded vigorously,
"Of course, I’m super clean!"
In the middle of speaking, his hand sneakily reached towards Yulian’s waist.
But before he could grab hold, Yulian deflected his hand with a "snap".
"What a pity."
?
Li Jing slowly typed out a question mark.
What did she mean by "what a pity"?
Could it be...
Is Yulian going back on her word?
Just as he was puzzled, Yulian stood up lazily, stretched, peeked at him out of the corner of her eye,
"Originally, we could have bathed together. But seeing as you’re done, I’ll have to do it alone."
!!!
Li Jing.
Damn it!
He was too hasty!
Seeing Yulian turn around to leave the bedroom, Li Jing quickly got up.
"Hold on! I feel like I didn’t clean up thoroughly enough!"
Yulian paused, biting her red lip and turning to glare at him, then walked out the door.
Upon seeing this, Li Jing gave a sly smile, and quietly followed.
...
