We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Emperor Jiang, come and fight!
After retreating into seclusion in the Red Dust Pure Land, Fairy Hongchen disappeared from public view. However, her appearance was captured by painters, and her portrait sparked a fierce competition.
Finally, at the suggestion of a knowledgeable individual, all portraits of Fairy Hongchen were destroyed. Now, perhaps only the Red Dust Pure Land’s treasury contains a portrait of her founder.
Although Jiang Li marveled at Fairy Hongchen’s beauty, he remained composed. This wasn’t something that could be explained by a profound cultivation level, though he himself hadn’t fully grasped the reason.
“I, Jiang Renhuang, am an outsider, and cannot gaze upon the remains of your ancestor. Please, both of you, visit the mausoleum to determine the whereabouts of your ancestor’s immortal body.”
“According to Emperor Jiang Renhuang, from the moment you revived the immortal tree, you have been our Red Dust Pure Land’s benefactor. How can a benefactor be considered an outsider?”
Jiang Li, unable to dissuade Saintess Jingxin, proceeded to the location where the ancestor’s immortal body was stored.
Fairy Hongchen’s tomb was austere, devoid of any decoration. The bare room contained only a human-high crystal in the center.
Within the crystal, there was nothing, no immortal body visible.
“To prevent his immortal body from being taken, the Grandmaster left a seal on the crystal, one that only she can undo. The Grandmaster must have left on her own after resurrection!” Saint Jingxin quickly made a judgment. “We just don’t know the Grandmaster’s condition right now: has he fully recovered his memory, or is he acting on instinct?”
“Sure enough, it’s your Grandmaster inside the golden chamber!” Although Jiang Li had some suspicions, he was still slightly surprised to see the resurrection unfold before his eyes.
“Jingxin, you and Emperor Jiang Ren quickly go to Emperor Mengjiang to check on the situation!” Taoist Nun Qingyu said immediately. She knew this was what Saint Jingxin was thinking, but she couldn’t always let Saint Jingxin make decisions on her own. Otherwise, where would her reputation as the headmaster be?
…
The Mengjiang Dynasty is adjacent to the Red Dust Pure Land, otherwise the Red Dust Fairy wouldn’t have been found by the Western Hunting Emperor Mengjiang after she descended the mountain.
The two soon encountered the woman in red sleeping in the golden chamber.
“It’s really the Red Dust Grandmaster!”
Upon meeting, Saint Jingxin felt a deep connection to the woman in red. Even a woman couldn’t resist the Red Dust Fairy’s charm.
The Red Dust Pure Land boasts numerous beauties, a source of enduring popularity, due to two sources.
First, teachers travel down the mountain and recruit women they find as disciples.
Second, a fairy peach tree grows in the Red Dust Pure Land. Eating the peaches can lead to pregnancy, and the resulting baby is naturally considered a disciple of the Red Dust Pure Land.
The Red Dust Fairy herself has consumed the peaches. The Pure
Heart Saint naturally falls into the latter category.
“The beauty of the ancestor is truly beyond the reach of mortals like us.”
While the Pure Heart Saint is confident in her own beauty, she isn’t so arrogant as to rival the eternal Red Dust Fairy.
At most, she considers herself a beauty that appears once in five thousand years.
“But why is the founder so deeply asleep? When will he awaken?”
“Perhaps Emperor Meng Jiang knows the answer.”
…
“This is the truth. This woman is the founder of the Red Dust Pure Land sect. We don’t know if she’s been resurrected or if she’s been reborn. She’s been sleeping, probably still adjusting to the transition from death to life. Do you know how to wake her?”
While there were no instances of resurrection in Jiuzhou, there were records of such cases in the notes left by immortals. Resurrection can occur in two ways: the soul escapes the underworld and returns to the living world, or the original soul disappears but a new consciousness emerges in the body. However,
the latter isn’t a true resurrection, merely a new life.
Emperor Meng Jiang and the other three were slow to grasp the truth, and it took a while for Jiang Li to finish his explanation before they realized what was happening.
“Emperor Jiang Ren is such a joke! Ever since I brought her to the Golden House, even touching her feels like a blasphemy. How could I dare wake her? Sometimes the fairy wakes up after months, sometimes just days. I can’t quite grasp the pattern.”
Jiang Li nodded. Emperor Meng Jiang’s answer met his expectations. So he said to him, “Fairy Hongchen is very important. Keeping her here with you will only cause trouble. Moreover, she is the founder of the Red Dust Pure Land. I’ve discussed it with Saint Jingxin, and we believe it’s only right to send her back to the Red Dust Pure Land. What do you think?”
Emperor Meng Jiang immediately objected. “Of course not! Fairy Hongchen has slept here for three years and has long since become accustomed to it. You can’t take her away!”
Although he knew Fairy Hongchen was of noble status and had a remarkable background, he was unwilling to watch such a beauty being taken away.
After all, if she left, he might never see her again.
“I know your rules. In times of uncertainty, fists reign supreme. The strong are respected, the weak eat dirt. Come, let’s trade blows with you, Emperor Meng Jiang.” Jiang Li didn’t expect the two monarchs to be very understanding. It was just a fight, the simplest of things.
“That would be a big offense!” Emperor Meng Jiang said with confidence.
“Count me in!” Emperor Wei also took a step forward, standing alongside Emperor Meng Jiang with considerable authority. He also didn’t want Jiang Li to take the Red Dust Fairy away.
So what if the founder of the Red Dust Pure Land was just one of the six great sects? Their two ancient dynasties had also produced immortals, and their heritage was no less than that of the Red Dust Pure Land. Did these two monarchs make them unworthy of the Red Dust Fairy?
They refused to accept it!
So what if he was the Human Emperor? We are all emperors. Your status is higher than ours, can you just take her away?
So what if the Human Emperor Palace is respected by all the nine states? Our two dynasties will not respect it this time!
Seeing this, Zhang Konghu quickly dodged far away, lest he be implicated. Unlike these two inflated fools, he had seen Jiang Li in action. Demons from other realms, once slain at the cost of countless casualties, were now being slaughtered by Jiang Li like melons.
The power of the Mahayana stage is unfathomable!
Emperor Mengjiang, clad in regal and magnificent imperial robes, crowned with a flat crown, and holding the Xinghan Golden Staff, pointed heavenward. The galaxy, previously hidden beneath the sun’s rays, reappeared in the sky. The tiny starlight, imbued with boundless stellar power, converged on the Xinghan Golden Staff. Emperor Mengjiang’s aura rose steadily, like an emperor grasping the galaxy!
The fate of the Mengjiang Dynasty, the Xinghan shone brightly!
Emperor Mengjiang released his hold on the fate of the Great Wei Dynasty, allowing its destiny to reach this realm as well.
The Wei Emperor, unwilling to be outdone, donned a robe emblazoned with tortoise and snake patterns, clutching the imperial seal. The eight characters, “Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper” shone brightly, gradually twisting and distorting until they formed the pattern of the Black Tortoise. Each drop of Northern Ren and Gui water, as heavy as a mountain, clung to the Wei Emperor, making him resemble an ancient deity capable of covering the heavens with a single hand!
The fate of the Great Wei Dynasty rests on the Water God Black Tortoise!
“Emperor Jiangren, come and fight!” the two monarchs shouted in unison .
Now fully conscious, they armed themselves with every possible means, becoming infinitely more powerful than they had been in their battle with Zhang Konghu! Three breaths later, the Meng Jiang Emperor collapsed to the ground, barely breathing, and cried out, “Imperial Physician… Quickly send for the Imperial Physician to save me…” (End of Chapter)
