Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 443

Chapter 441 How Rumors Form

. “This issue of the Tianji Newspaper is sure to sell like hotcakes.” Upon returning from the Jiuzhou Conference, Tianming Taoist’s first act was to compile information and publish the meeting’s contents on the front page.

“No, not just the front page. This issue of Tianji Newspaper won’t feature anything else but the Jiuzhou Conference!”

A disciple from the Tianji Tower whispered to the poster, “But you originally planned to run an advertisement in the newspaper’s margins. Are you not going to run an ad?”

One can imagine how much spirit stones the other party spent to get an ad in Tianji Newspaper.

“Compared to the Jiuzhou Conference, an ad is nothing. I’ll run it in the next issue. If those people have any objections, I’ll raise them with the Human Emperor Palace.” Tianming Taoist always had a clear understanding of priorities.

He had a vague feeling that the significance behind this meeting was even greater than the previous one.

Jiuzhou and the six worlds had reached a cooperation agreement—something unprecedented,

not even when the Immortal Ladder existed.

When the Ladder to Immortality still existed, the Immortal Realm was the core of the universe, and only the Immortal Realm connected to the universe.

Now, Jiuzhou is doing the same thing as the Immortal Realm. Tianming Daoist wonders whether the Human Emperor’s actions were intentional or not. He feels there’s more to this than meets the eye, and there’s a deeper meaning hidden beneath the surface that he’s unaware of.

However, he’s only thinking about it, not speaking it out loud.

“Master, there’s big news!” Another disciple of the Tianji Tower came running up, breathless, his hands trembling.

“What’s the panic? What big news could there be?” Tianming Daoist frowned. Even news like the invasion of extraterritorial demons would have to be relegated to the next issue of the Tianji Newspaper.

“A candidate for the Human Emperor…”

“What?” Tianming Daoist thought he was hallucinating.

“Someone’s eyebrows have changed, becoming a candidate for Human Emperor.”

Tianming Daoist abruptly stood up and overturned the table. “Where is he? I’ll go check. Also, contact all branch owners and have them quickly verify any Human Emperor candidates!”

…

“Extra, Extra! Fresh from the Tianji Newspaper! Someone has become a candidate for Human Emperor.” The

newsboy shouted before he was surrounded by a crowd. When the crowd dispersed, he was left clutching a huge pile of spirit stones, with not a single newspaper left.

Tianming Daoist’s front page: Earth Veins Selects a Candidate for Human Emperor.

Tianming Daoist originally wanted to title it “Candidate for Human Emperor Appears on the Street,” but his cultivation technique warned him that this was a highly ominous sign, so he had to come up with a different headline.

As for the Nine Provinces Council, Tianming Daoist didn’t even think twice and placed it on the back page.

Tianji Building had invested heavily in a printing press from the Bell World, resulting in an astonishing output of newspapers, ensuring they would never be short of supply.

As Tianming Daoist had anticipated, the public’s interest in the Human Emperor candidate far outweighed that of the Nine Provinces Council.

“The Taoist sect is walking, the Dharmakaya sect is walking, and the Buddha Lord has become a candidate for the Human Emperor.”

“Who are Qin Luan and Yuan Wuxing, they sound familiar.

” “They are two cultivators who have been in the limelight recently. Qin Luan is in the Nascent Soul stage, and Yuan Wuxing is in the Spirit Transformation stage. Both of them have the tendency to be invincible in the same level.”

“I remember now, it turned out to be them. Last time I saw them participating in an auction, they bought an item that no one was interested in at a low price. After the auction, someone wanted to snatch this item, but was killed by Yuan Wuxing.”

“How come people from other worlds have also become candidates for the Human Emperor?” Some people didn’t understand the situation.

“You have to finish reading the newspaper. Doesn’t the next page say that at the Jiuzhou Council Meeting, the six worlds and Jiuzhou reached a cooperative relationship to work together to build the future, and the Jiuzhou Earth Veins also recognize people from other worlds.”

“You have to believe in the accuracy of the Jiuzhou Earth Veins. In the past nine thousand years, have you seen the Earth Veins make a mistake once?”

“Indeed, since the Earth Veins chose these people, then these people’s personalities must be the best. It will not be partial to their world, but will treat the seven worlds equally.”

“No, you have been discussing for so long why didn’t you discuss the main point?”

“What’s the main point?”

“Why would there be a candidate for the Human Emperor? The Human Emperor is in his prime and invincible. Why does he want to choose the next Human Emperor?”

“Didn’t the newspaper say that Tianming Taoist went to the Human Emperor Palace to interview the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor said that the purpose of selecting the candidates for the Human Emperor this time was to inspire the enthusiasm of young people, urge the younger generation to practice diligently, practice well, and practice more, so that these candidates for the Human Emperor can play a leading role.”

“Indeed, I’ve seen that some of the Human Emperor candidates are about the same age as me, but their cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Compared to them, I’ve simply wasted the talent of my dual spiritual roots.” “

I, with a single spiritual root, feel ashamed of myself.”

“Compared to this, I’m more concerned about how long it will take for the person to become the Human Emperor after the only candidate is selected.”

“I don’t think it’s possible in this life.”

“It’s going to be hard in the next life.”

“My third grandfather works in the Human Emperor Palace. He said that the Human Emperor wants to retire, so a new one is being selected.”

“Is this true? My uncle who also works in the Human Emperor Palace said that the Human Emperor likes to have fun, and this time the selection of the Human Emperor candidate is purely for fun.”

“Your news doesn’t sound right. The Human Emperor is such an upright person, how could he possibly have fun?”

“That’s hard to say. Haven’t you heard that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black? He might be influenced by being with Sect Master Bai Hongtu every day.”

“Now that you mention it, it’s not impossible. It’s all Sect Master Bai’s fault for influencing the Human Emperor.”

“The Dao Sect is truly despicable! I will lead the resistance and resolutely refuse to become a disciple.”

“I remember you participated in the Dao Sect disciple selection and were rejected?”

“I gave up on joining the Dao Sect, not that the Dao Sect didn’t want me.”

…

“Have you heard? The Human Emperor wants to retire, so they’re selecting a few candidates for the title of Human Emperor for fun.”

…

“Have you heard? The Human Emperor wants to retire and let Dimai become the Human Emperor. Dimai disagrees, so they’re selecting a few candidates for the title of Human Emperor.”

…

“Have you heard? Because the Human Emperor has been away from the Human Emperor Palace for years, Commander Liu wants to retire. The Human Emperor feels guilty and wants to select a new Human Emperor to take over the Palace.”

…

“Palace Master, there’s news out there that the earth veins have developed intelligence and want me to retire. You disagree, so you want to select a candidate for the Human Emperor and have the new Human Emperor take over the Palace.” Commander Liu reported to Jiang Li with a strange look on his face.

“What a mess!” Jiang Li felt that this had nothing to do with his speech in the Tianji Newspaper.

Commander Liu then reported the trajectory of the rumor.

“Could it be that this is also the origin of the rumor that I can break all laws with a single sword? Never mind, it’s not important. I’ll arrange a test for these young candidates for the Human Emperor to let them know the dangers of the world.” Jiang Li sneered, as if remembering the test held by the Old Emperor.

Jiang Li took out the remote communication talisman and contacted old friends: “Lao Bai, Yu Yin, are you there? Come and participate in the Human Emperor selection.”
