Chapter 536: Chapter 535: The Second Full Moon Feast

“Breathing in Qi? That might be challenging. Our kids in Kyushu begin their training at eight. Are you suggesting we wait until a clone sample live up to eight years before they start learning the path of immortality?”

“Our biggest clone is only one year old. Waiting another seven years will be okay. We can afford to wait for seven years!” The Machinery King regretted driving away the cultivators from Kyushu due to petty jealousy.

It was miraculous that the cultivators from Kyushu found a solution to the problem that had troubled them for ten thousand years in such a short time.

“Seven years is too long. Master Huang, show me what the poison looks like.”

“Alright.”

A cyclone appeared in Huang Chengdan’s hand, expelling foreign substances, and what was left were poisonous granules.

“So, this is it.” Jiang Li scanned it with his Divine Sense, immediately finding out what the poison hiding in the air looked like.

Jiang Li raised his hand, creating a cyclone as well; however, this cyclone became larger and larger, forming a tornado that enveloped the entire city.

The force of the wind lifted the whole city several centimeters above the ground.

“Gathering all the air in the world here.” Huang Chengdan was shocked; the Human Emperor’s move had surpassed mere human abilities.

The inhabitants of the Forging Machinery World were robots, therefore they didn’t need to breathe.

“Disperse.” Jiang Li stated a simple command, like a law being implemented; actually, he was just stating a fact.

The tornado dispersed, and a black pill appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.

“This is the poison that has been tormenting you for ten thousand years.”

With a slight pinch, Jiang Li crushed and annihilated the poisonous pill, reducing it to nothingness.

With a trembling body and tears flowing, the Machinery King knelt down and thanked Jiang Li and the others repeatedly.

“Master Huang must have discussed with you regarding Kyushu world’s foreign policy. If you are willing, you can accompany us to Kyushu. Commander Liu of the Imperial Palace will discuss the specifics with you.”

The Machinery King appeared puzzled, wondering about the Kyushu world’s foreign policy.

Huang Chengdan whispered an explanation on the side, “Human Emperor, we didn’t get a chance to discuss this earlier, the Machinery King started attacking us before the conversation.”

Huang Chengdan then discussed the current relationships between the Kyushu world and other worlds to the Machinery King, ranging from policy, to personnel circulation, and even economic and cultural exchanges.

As he discussed, Huang Chengdan realized something strange. How come the Kyushu world seemed like the center of the Ten Thousand Realms?

The Machinery King didn’t understand the implications, but felt that the Kyushu world was extremely powerful. He was also aware that Huang Chengdan and the Great Confucian Word Post had held back; otherwise, the Machinery Octopus would have been outmatched by simply a piece of paper.

Only when they reached the ultimate strength, they would have the courage and the qualification to maintain such a relationship with other worlds.

“Are you all really not from the Immortal Realm?”

Jiang Li chuckled and said, “No way. We’re just a common world that loves peace. We have nothing to do with the Immortal Realm. Don’t overthink it.”

“I see, establishing diplomatic relationships with other worlds is a significant matter. Can we think it over?”

Jiang Li gestured to Bai Hongtu, who took out a disposable summons charm.

“If you wish to come to Kyushu, after tearing this charm, someone will come to pick you up.”

Jiang Li summoned the Brahma Tower, sending everyone back, and incidentally telling it about the future task of connecting the Ten Thousand Realms.

“…It isn’t suitable to casually mention such a significant task, Human Emperor.” The Brahma Tower shuddered with a tremble in its heart. It was only an Immortal Artifact proficient in spatial laws, why would it be burdened with the task of teleporting people into the Ten Thousand Realms?

Still, the Brahma Tower accepted this task. Sending cultivators to investigate various worlds could help solve potential crises in these worlds and save lives.

Being busier meant saving more lives. It was a good deal.

After Bai Hongtu and others returned to their territories, Jiang Li wanted to roam around. He stopped by the Imperial Palace and remembered that he had passed by three times without visiting. He then decided to go in and take a look.

…

The two guards at the gate of the Imperial Palace stood proudly, their majestic demeanor drew attention.

The two were exchanging news using a transmission array.

“Brother, isn’t it strange, being guards of the Imperial Palace, yet we’ve never seen the Hall Master?”

“I know right, my wife asked me about whether being in the Imperial Palace meant I meet the Human Emperor daily.”

“What did you say?”

“I said that was what I thought when I first arrived at the Imperial Palace.”

“I’m considering retiring and becoming a gatekeeper at the Dao Sect. I heard that the Dao Sect’s comrades said that the Hall Master visits the Dao Sect more frequently than here.”

“You’ve only been on the job for three years, isn’t it a little early to think about retirement?”

“That’s called long-term planning. When I was at the Qi Cultivation Stage, I planned how to cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Stage, look, I was successful, wasn’t I? This morning, I was even considering where I’d like to be buried after death. I heard that the location underneath the cliff of the Great Wei dynasty has excellent feng shui. Many cultivators get buried there, I think it’s a good choice.”

As they casually chatted, Jiang Li landed at the entrance and casually said, “Good work, both of you.”

“Hall Master!” Both of them saw Jiang Li, their eyes gleamed, and they stopped considering retirement and burial locations.

From the outside, the Imperial Palace looked the same as always. However, as he walked towards the main hall, the Imperial Palace gradually changed, with lights andfestive decorations everywhere. It was brimming with jubilation.

It almost seemed like Jiang Li was getting married.

“Hall Master, good timing. I was just thinking of contacting you.” Commander Liu didn’t expect that Jiang Li would return so soon after leaving the Imperial Palace.

Commander Liu considered this as an omen of Jiang Li wanting to preside over the Imperial Palace.

“Is there some good news?” Jiang Li still wasn’t clear about what happened.

“Commander Ma’s child was born, a boy, named Ma Zhongzheng as you suggested.”

“Commanders Ma are planning a celebration for their child’s first full month. I suggested holding it in the side hall of the Imperial Palace. All the commanders can gather and celebrate. I was about to inform you when you appeared.”

Jiang Li entered the side hall of the Imperial Palace, saw Commanders Ma with a baby in their arms, who was crying bitterly, and no matter how Commander Ma tried to soothe him, it didn’t help.

“Here, let me hold him.” Jiang Li gently took the baby.

A surprising thing happened – the baby cried even harder.

Jiang Li handed the baby back and stated seriously, “I believe this child has great potential to cultivate the Sonic Art in the future. I will write a Sonic Cultivation Technique book and give it to him later.”

“…Hall Master, from the way you’re holding the baby, anyone would cry.” Commander Ma teased.

Jiang Li stared in return.

“Haha, look at what I’ve found! Today, I’ll show off my culinary skills!” Zhang Kong Hu arrived with bursts of laughter, dragging in a net full of animals.

The net was filled with various rare wild animals such as wild boars, scaled fish, mountain chicken etc. All of which, void of spiritual intelligence, were considered exquisite delicacies and were coveted by spirit chefs.

The wild animals were still alive and struggling.

Zhang Kong Hu tapped the heads of the wild animals, “All of you keep quiet, we’re only going to eat you. There’s no need for such a fuss.”

The animals couldn’t understand Zhang Kong Hu’s words and struggled even more.

“Nephew, why are you crying? Look, Uncle Zhang has brought some great things.” Zhang Kong Hu took out a sugar-coated hawthorn skewer from his Storage Ring.

The little baby stopped crying immediately after being given a skewer of the sugar-coated hawthorn.

Jiang Li: “…”
