We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Conference Opening

Meng Youyou twisted her slender waist and walked towards Jiang Li, breathing a sweet breath: “Of course it’s because I like you.”

The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart widened her eyes and trembled inwardly. This, this, this woman has no sense of shame?

“Come, come, these are the melon seeds that are unique to my East China Sea. They leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. There are also big and round sea watermelons that are delicious and make your mouth water.” The Dragon King of the East China Sea introduced the specialties of the East China Sea at an inopportune time and distributed them to everyone.

“Give me a bag of melon seeds.” Ji Zhi was not polite and took it and cracked it.

“Half a piece of watermelon.”

“Eat the watermelon, eat the watermelon, everyone has some.” The Dragon King of the East China Sea distributed the watermelon and melon seeds, and everyone thanked him.

“Saint Maiden of Pure Heart, would you like one too?” The Dragon King of the East China Sea asked enthusiastically. The other three dragon kings quickly dragged away the tactless eldest brother. Didn’t they see that he was staring at you?

The Red Dust Pure Land possesses neither Tribulation-crossing cultivators nor sect-defending immortal artifacts, yet it remains one of the six great sects, unrivaled. This is because they possess a single immortal peach tree, capable of defending against enemies and granting unparalleled combat power.

What if the Pure Heart Saint were truly angered and the immortal peach tree destroyed the Dragon Palace?

The head of the Tianji Tower stared intently at Jiang Li, wondering what would be in store for the next Tianji Newspaper headline.

The head of the Tianji Tower was Ji Zhi’s specially invited cultivator, tasked with commentating and explaining the conference.

“Why do you like me?” Jiang Li was puzzled.

Meng Youyou’s eyes were seductive: “Of course it’s because you are strong. You are the strongest in Jiuzhou and the only one in the Mahayana stage. As a woman, is there anything wrong with longing for a peaceful harbor?”

“Of course there is a problem.” Jiang Li analyzed, “If you like me because I am strong, then you don’t like me, but the Mahayana stage.”

Meng Youyou was stunned: “But aren’t you in the Mahayana stage?”

“I am in the Mahayana stage, but the Mahayana stage is not me. Do you understand this truth?”

Jiang Li said it as a matter of course, as if it was a very simple truth. Meng Youyou nodded subconsciously.

“Then I like your resolve. You act with principles, remain true to your original aspirations, and are unwavering.”

Jiang Li continued his analysis. “I don’t like you now. If I fell in love with you, it would mean I’d lose my resolve, and you wouldn’t like a wavering me.”

Meng Youyou pondered for a moment before saying, “You uphold justice and act fairly. Since you became the Human Emperor, the atmosphere in Jiuzhou has become much more relaxed, less rife with intrigue.”

“Then you probably like Ji Zhi. I sometimes act with selfish motives, which isn’t fair.”

“You’re knowledgeable and experienced?” Meng Youyou questioned.

Jiang Li still disagreed with Meng Youyou’s reasoning: “In terms of insight, I’m not as knowledgeable as Immortal Changcun. So, you probably like him, not me.”

“I’ll ask you again, why do you like me?”

“Yes, why do I like you?” Meng Youyou muttered, her eyes vacant. She froze in her tracks, unable to form a single word after Jiang Li’s rebuttal. Instead, she began to ponder the reason for her feelings.

This seemed like an extremely difficult question, and Meng Youyou fell into deep thought, unable to find the answer.

Everyone turned to look at the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart. She said nothing from beginning to end, but she had a beautiful smile on her face, her chin slightly raised, and she looked beautiful and charming, as if she was the winner.

The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart had chosen a path that was even more difficult than becoming an immortal, and everyone admired her sincerely.

“Have you found the right candidate?” Ji Zhi stepped forward and asked.

“Don’t worry, they are all top talents, and they will definitely open your eyes.” Jiang Li patted his chest and assured.

“Then I’m relieved.” Originally, Ji Zhi wanted to use his double pupils to watch the conference in advance, but Jiang Li’s words gave him a sense of anticipation, and he wanted to wait for the conference with peace of mind.

“It’s been many years since we last met, Emperor Jiang.”

“Emperor Jiang is still as elegant as ever.”

After watching the excitement, everyone greeted Jiang Li.

“It’s almost time, get ready to start.” Ji Zhi reminded everyone, and Jiang Li almost came on time.

The Great Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to this conference, devoting considerable resources and resources to constructing a massive temporary platform constructed of solid, rigid stone. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator’s strike would barely leave a mark on it. If used for refining artifacts, who knows how many spiritual treasures could be forged.

Jiang Li and his companions were situated above the platform, offering a clear view of both its structure and the audience surrounding it.

“Autumn brings refreshing breezes and a prosperous economy. In this golden season of nurturing hope and fulfilling ideals, this conference solemnly opens. First, on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the guests and extend my warmest greetings to all the cultivators participating in this conference…” “

…Fellow cultivators, the importance of spiritual treasures to us is self-evident. Enlightened by the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, the Nine Provinces’ most precious treasure, our spiritual treasures have become even more intelligent and convenient. Our goal is to foster mutual growth and development between cultivators and spiritual treasures, achieving a mutually beneficial, symbiotic, and win-win partnership…”

Ji Zhi spoke on the stage, and both Jiang Li, seated beside him, and the audience below felt a sense of drowsiness.

Listening to the Dharma made me sleepy, but at least I gained something from it. Your long, lame speech was completely useless, wasn’t it?!

Everyone envied Xiangxiang Bodhisattva. With his eyes closed, who could tell if he was cultivating his clairvoyance or just sleeping?

They sat on the stage, and the monks below noticed them. Openly sleeping while Ji Zhi was speaking was not a good idea, no matter how you thought about it.

“…Finally, I wish you all good results and a high level of performance!”

Ji Zhi finally finished, adding, “Let’s welcome the 72nd Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Pavilion, Monk Jiang Li.”

A sparse applause erupted from the audience.

A drowsy Jiang Li stood up: “The competition begins, I’m done.”

The audience applauded thunderously.

Tianming Daoren, the master of Tianji Tower, was a great monk at the peak of the Fusion Stage. He loved spirit stones and was well-versed in everything. No one could question his expertise. From the Qi Training Stage to the Fusion Stage, he knew the characteristics of each stage, various cultivation methods, the use of hundreds of spirit treasures, and tens of thousands of combat methods. He knew them all, reciting them with ease.

Tianming Taoist was the most suitable person to be the commentator.

Ji Zhi did not use many spirit stones to ask him for help, but instead said that after the conference, half of the taxes of Tianji Tower would be exempted.

Taoist Tianming naturally agreed to this deal. Tianji Tower was doing a booming business in the Great Zhou, but the high taxes were a pain in his ass. If he could get rid of half of the taxes, he would laugh himself awake.

In fact, Bai Xueling, the Emperor of Bai Ze, was also a suitable candidate for commentator, but she was the ruler of a country, of the same status as Ji Zhi, so it was inappropriate to have her commentate.

The conference was divided into the Foundation Establishment Group, the Golden Core Group, and the Nascent Soul Group, and the competition was also conducted in this order, with the Foundation Establishment cultivators starting first.

“The first to go are Yun Fan from the Huayun Sect of the Great Zhou, and Hu Gu from the Bai Ze Dynasty.”

The Huayun Sect was the sect that Jiang Li first joined, and it was also the place where Jiang Li went in the second task of the system, allowing Jiang Li to defeat Yun Bo from the Huayun Sect.

“Since the surname is Yun, I guess you are a descendant of Yun Bo.” Jiang Li smiled after seeing his old friend.
