Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 742
Chapter 740 It doesn’t matter, I will take action
Taichu’s claim of recognition of the Chu Emperor was unfounded; it was a thought that came to the two Shenzang Venerables upon seeing the Tianhuang Halberd.
It’s important to note that given their status, they wouldn’t have such random thoughts.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Jiang Li, the Immortal Emperor of World 390, or Jiang Li, the Idle Person of World 809, possess the Tianhuang Halberd?
What exactly it means to be recognized by Taichu is unknown.
Taichu was born before Tiandao, but he died, and the whereabouts of his body remain unknown.
Taichu’s remains are beyond Tiandao’s control, and even Tiandao
cannot find them. Somewhere in the dark, an inexplicable, mysterious power emanates from Taichu’s remains, preventing them from being found.
Theoretically, Taichu’s remains cannot be refined, let alone transformed into a halberd.
This all supports Taichu’s recognition of the Chu Emperor.
“It’s not a problem. Taichu’s remains are only characterized by their hardness, without any magical powers attached.” The two Shenzang Venerables quickly calmed down. The Chu Emperor merely obtained a weapon, and it was still within their control.
They also considered the possibility that the Tianhuang Halberd possessed intelligence and could become the sole will, but this idea was quickly dismissed.
The Rule of Destruction could destroy the Tianhuang Halberd’s intelligence, posing no threat.
“I am deeply pleased that you have stood up to protect the Nine Provinces. With me here, you all return to your respective positions and await my triumphant return!” The great halberd stretched across the sky, clearly dividing the Immortal Realm and the Nine Provinces into two distinct worlds.
Bai Hongtu and the others stared at the First Emperor in disbelief.
When had the First Emperor returned to the Nine Provinces? Given his personality, he would have made a grand announcement, letting the entire Nine Provinces know of his return.
The First Emperor had undergone an unforeseen change.
This was the immediate reaction of those familiar with the First Emperor.
The two Divine Treasures sought to control the First Emperor through the system. If the First Emperor utilized even a tiny bit of the enlightenment and talents provided by the system, they could at least influence the outcome of the battle, if not completely control him.
“You’re not using anything provided by the system at all! No, where’s your system?” The two Divine Treasures sensed the problem.
The First Emperor had completely strayed from their plans; the system hadn’t left a single thing behind.
“Rubbish system, who cares about those rewards!” The First Emperor, wielding his halberd, led the charge, facing two opponents alone, unflinching.
Boom—
a deafening roar pierced heaven and earth. The spectacle of the three men’s clash shook the very heavens and the very earth, and the celestial realm itself trembled.
Jiuzhou, thanks to Jiang Li’s power of command, was unaffected.
“Are you all here? Sit down, sit down, sit down, you’re welcome.” Jiang Li brought out several small stone benches and warmly welcomed Bai Hongtu and the others, as if he were the true master of Jiuzhou. It
would be unreasonable for him not to meet an old friend.
Jiang Li soaked the elixir in water, treating it like his own tea.
“Your Majesty?” Bai Hongtu and Changcun Immortal Weng exclaimed. Seeing Jiang Li’s enthusiasm, they thought the First Emperor had suffered a split personality.
“He’s not the First Emperor you know.” Yu Yin, speaking of the First Emperor, made no secret of her disgust.
“What’s going on?” Bai Hongtu and Changcun Immortal Weng also realized the problem; they had never heard of a split personality leading to a split body.
“He comes from a parallel world, inheriting the throne of the Human Emperor as the seventy-second Human Emperor, and has never proclaimed himself Emperor… Immortal Elder, don’t get so close to Senior Hongchen.”
Yu Yin couldn’t help but warn, seeing Immortal Elder Changcun constantly shifting his position, drawing closer and closer to Fairy Hongchen.
Jiang Li simply moved Immortal Elder Changcun, stool included, to his side, so they faced each other across the table. Immortal Elder
Changcun was a man of common sense. Even with the beauty before him, the First Emperor felt a sense of urgency in a battle with two Divine Treasures, and he shouldn’t have lost his composure like this.
Immortal Elder Changcun felt that Jiang Li possessed a magical power; his mere presence could put people at ease, making any difficulty or crisis a challenge.
This was a feeling the First Emperor had never given him.
“A parallel world?” Bai Hongtu observed Jiang Li, the more he looked at him, the more he felt he was different from the First Emperor.
Seeing Jiang Li was like seeing the First Emperor, still a candidate for Human Emperor—no, even more gentle than he was then.
Bai Hongtu had always assumed that those possessing great power would, if not necessarily have personalities like the First Emperor, at least possess a superior attitude.
Jiang Li’s appearance completely overturned his perception.
Fairy Hongchen also had a favorable impression of Jiang Li, though the First Emperor’s possessiveness made her uncomfortable.
The three of them quickly accepted the fact that Jiang Li came from a parallel world.
There was no way around it. Although he looked like the First Emperor, his personality was so different that he couldn’t be equated with him. The only explanation was that he was from a parallel world.
“My Bai Hongtu is much more boisterous than you,” Jiang Li laughed. The Bai Hongtu from the First Emperor’s side was just as Jiang Li had expected: calm and steady, or rather, less energetic. Appearance
reflects the heart, and even the Bai Hongtu from this side looked more mature.
“Being different isn’t necessarily a bad thing,” Bai Hongtu smiled, but still felt a bit hesitant.
“Indeed, the Bai Hongtu I knew looked like he deserved a beating. He was never at peace. He even wanted to monopolize the hawthorn trees so I couldn’t eat candied haws. You’re much better than him in this respect.”
At this point, Bai Hongtu froze, his expression a little embarrassed. Jiang Li asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Yin answered for Bai Hongtu, “The First Emperor tasked Old Bai with many things, such as exploring plans for the Ten Thousand Worlds, simplifying martial arts techniques, and popularizing education. One particular task was to cultivate high-quality hawthorn trees.”
“What’s the result?”
“Nowadays, hawthorn trees can automatically produce candied haws. Commander Liu has also contributed to this. In the past, sugar was squeezed from sugarcane, but now it’s peeled from the candied haws trees.”
“People also call Bai Hongtu the Minister of Candied Haws. Oh, that’s a compliment.”
Judging from Bai Hongtu’s constipated expression, he probably didn’t think it was a compliment.
Jiang Li: “…”
The differences between parallel worlds are indeed huge.
Seeing the First Emperor holding the halberd, Immortal Changcun sighed with emotion: “It’s been a long time since I saw Your Majesty use a weapon
.” “Come to think of it
, I haven’t used the Tianhuang Halberd in a long time either.” Jiang Li suddenly remembered that since he hung the Tianhuang Halberd in the sky as the center of the formation, he hadn’t used it.
Counting the time, it has been more than ten years.
He really hasn’t used the Tianhuang Halberd in battle. Moreover, more than ten years have passed, and Jiang Li is also getting stronger. He is worried whether the Tianhuang Halberd can withstand his full strength.
The characteristic of the Tianhuang Halberd is that it cannot be damaged. From another perspective, it means that once damaged, it will definitely not be restored.
“Forget it, don’t experiment.” Jiang Li still has some new moves such as the Taiyi Seal, which he has not used and does not require weapons.
“Can Your Majesty defeat the two Tiandao?” Bai Hongtu is worried that the First Emperor will be defeated and Jiuzhou will suffer disasters.
Jiang Li looked up at the First Emperor, who grew more courageous with each battle, his wounds steadily increasing, and shrugged. “He thinks he can win anyway.”
Initially, Jiang Li wanted to attack, but was stopped by the First Emperor, who bluntly stated that he could take on two enemies at once.
Jiang Li chose to respect the First Emperor’s humble wish.
“At worst, I’ll take the final step.”
