Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 432

Chapter 430 Ji Kongkong’s Troubles

As a princess, Ji Kongkong couldn’t travel alone. She had her own guards disguised as ordinary people, hiding around her.

However, with Jiang Li and the other two present, even the arrival of the extraterritorial demons couldn’t cause any trouble. These guards were useless and waited quietly under the teahouse.

“Did you gain anything from your trip to the Four Seas?” Jiang Li asked with a smile.

Xiaoqing replied respectfully, “A lot. I knew too little about the True Dragon Bloodline before, and there were many hidden aspects I didn’t know about. After fighting the four dragon kings, I learned a lot.”

“Especially the techniques for using various parts of the body and their role in battle.”

“The four dragon kings are all veterans who have been in the fusion stage for hundreds or even thousands of years. In terms of combat awareness, skills, and realm, I am far inferior to them.”

“Keep working hard. There’s a lot to learn from them. When I was traveling around the Four Seas, I also learned a lot from the four dragon kings.”

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin looked at Jiang Li with strange expressions.

When you say you traveled the four seas and learned from the Dragon Kings, do you mean that time when you were in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, you challenged masters in the four seas, beating the dragon descendants to tears, and ultimately forcing the four Dragon Kings to fight you?

Xia Chao scratched his head awkwardly. “There’s not much to say about my experience. I just wandered around with Xiaoqing, observing how the Nine Provinces handled the relationship between humans and demons.”

“Especially in the Bai Ze Dynasty. I never imagined how demons lived after gaining intelligence. It’s completely different from the Lingxi World.”

“Before, I only fought demonic beasts. After coming to the Nine Provinces, I mostly fought humans. I’m not used to it yet, and I’m still adjusting.”

To quickly train Xia Chao, Jiang Li only taught him how to fight demonic beasts, not humans.

In human combat, a competition isn’t just about cultivation; it’s more about combat skills, psychological tactics, and so on. There’s a lot of knowledge involved.

Jiang Li is very talented in this area.

It’s also difficult for Jiang Li to teach, so he can only let Xia Chao learn through battle. With more beatings, he’ll learn how to fight.

Xia Chao and Xiaoqing share the same problem: they’re both too young, advancing too quickly, and lacking experience, requiring time to catch up.

“Kongkong, how have you been lately?”

“Not very well. Father sends me on errands every day, hoping to train me to be the new Emperor of Zhou, so he can become the Supreme Emperor and cultivate well.” Ji Kongkong frowned. Lately, she’d either been learning to handle government affairs or on her way to learning how to handle them.

Her brothers and sisters envied her, but she didn’t see it that way.

She didn’t want to be the Emperor of Zhou, but she couldn’t dissuade Ji Zhi.

What was the point of being the Emperor of Zhou? I wanted to be the Human Emperor, to be like Uncle Jiang.

“Recently, Father saw that I’d developed double pupils, and he encouraged me to use them more often to see past events.”

“Originally, I was very interested in matters between men and women, so I used them to observe them. Now, after seeing so much, it feels like nothing much.”

Ji Kongkong looked at Xiaoqing and Xia Chao.

“Relax! I’ve seen plenty of things men and women do together overnight. You’re not the first to be exposed.”

“Besides, your postures are too monotonous, nothing to behold. You’re among the worst of the ones I’ve met. I suggest you go to the Hehuan Sect and study for a while.”

Xiaoqing and Xia Chao bowed their heads in shame.

“It’ll be hard for you to find a boyfriend like this,” Bai Hongtu said with a quizzical expression. Ji

Kongkong waved her hand. “What’s the point of a boyfriend? Someone my age is weak, incompetent, and immature.”

“Many junior ministers in the court are interested in me. I rarely leave the palace, and they don’t know me well. They’ve only met me once and said they like me. It’s simply because of my looks and status.”

Many of those who were interested in Ji Kongkong were handsome, highly skilled, and well-mannered, but Ji Kongkong didn’t like any of them.

While a princess might consider political matters, the Great Zhou didn’t need to, and Ji Kongkong had plenty of freedom.

“I don’t like them, but they never tire of coming to me. I’ve seen with my double pupils that there are ministers secretly signaling behind their actions.”

“Those people are very naive. They want to create all kinds of coincidences to meet me, or they pretend to be careless, not bound by worldly common sense, do things unexpectedly, and are resourceful, hoping to attract my attention.”

“When I use my double pupils to see their past and future, I just think it’s ridiculous.”

“They don’t know that I have mastered the double pupils. If they knew, I don’t know what kind of expression they would show.”

“I rejected too many people and felt tired of it, so I put out a message that whoever likes me must beat me first.”

Ji Kongkong is already a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. It is difficult to find someone comparable to her among her peers. The younger generations of the ministers say that they have excellent cultivation talent and extraordinary cultivation. In fact, they are only in the Golden Core stage, which is considered good at this age, but they are still far behind Ji Kongkong. If the two fight, it can’t be considered a battle at all.

Ji Kongkong’s cultivation talent rivals Bai Hongtu’s, making her a capable Daoist master.

Furthermore, Ji Kongkong possesses the Dao of Time, and her double pupils make her invincible in battle. Jiang Li is convinced that she is the strongest among her peers.

“People are treacherous. Too many people say one thing to your face and another behind your back, saying one thing and doing another.” Ji Kongkong possesses a maturity beyond her years, appearing disillusioned with the mundane world and indifferent to everything.

Jiang Li suspects that if Ji Kongkong truly sees through the mundane world and joins the Red Dust Pure Land, Ji Zhi will be too embarrassed to cry. Jiang Li

recalls that Ji Zhi was also like this when they first met her, but after being beaten so many times by Jiang Li, she returned to normal.

Simply put, she deserved a beating.

However, Ji Zhi’s return to normalcy was due to his presence. As for Ji Kongkong, Jiang Li couldn’t imagine anyone who could defeat her.

Of the younger generations Jiang Li knew, Ji Kongkong was the youngest. Qin Luan, Luo Zhu, Luo Ying, and Yu Feng were all significantly older than Ji Kongkong, and it’s doubtful they could defeat her in combat.

Jiang Li felt that since Ji Zhi had been through this, he wouldn’t let Ji Kongkong continue like this. He should have his own way, so she wouldn’t have to worry about it.

Ji Kongkong had seen many people’s pasts, and she found Jiang Li, Yu Yin, and Bai Hongtu the purest. They didn’t say one thing and did another, and they acted with integrity, which made her feel at ease.

She enjoyed being with Jiang Li and the other two.

For the next few days, Jiang Li and the others wandered around the Junzi Kingdom, awaiting the Confucian Birthday.

Xiaoqing and Xia Chao followed behind, continuing to listen to Jiang Li’s teachings and cherishing every moment they spent with him.

The Confucian Birthday was held in the Junzi Kingdom, and as the day approached, the atmosphere in the Junzi Kingdom grew increasingly lively.

A massive statue of the Confucian Sage stood in the center of the Junzi Kingdom’s capital, clad in Confucian robes, its face obscured.

Confucianism had no idea what the Confucian Sage looked like.

The Confucian Birthday, which occurred only once every thousand years, was a grand occasion, with representatives from all major factions attending.

Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu, Yu Yin, and Ji Kongkong took their seats one by one.
