We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 485

Chapter 483 Without the system, I wouldn’t be where I am today

. Jiang Li and Jiang Li could finally settle down and have a good chat.

“Did you complete the system’s mission and become the Human Emperor?”

The other Jiang Li scratched his head sheepishly. “Yes, I am also the Human Emperor, but I rarely take charge of matters. I’m currently in semi-retirement, with Commander Liu handling all matters, big and small. Commander Liu calls me ‘Idle Man,’ and I often refer to myself that way.”

Idle Man Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook his head secretly. Although he didn’t preside over the Human Emperor Palace, as the Human Emperor, he served as a role model for all the powerful. He often identified injustices, considered problems, and addressed them from the root.

Therefore, Commander Liu wouldn’t call him ‘Idle Man.’

To be called ‘Idle Man’ by Commander Liu probably only meant that he relied on force to resist the Heavenly Demons, and beyond that, he hadn’t fulfilled his duties as the Human Emperor.

A group of familiar female cultivators dressed and looked curiously at the newly emerged Jiang Li.

Old Buddha Xumi hadn’t widely promoted the concept of parallel worlds, so only Yu Yin guessed that this new Jiang Li came from a parallel world.

“Bai Xueling…Bai Xuelin, right? In my world, Emperor Bai Ze had just separated himself from the Qilin and hadn’t yet named his clone.”

This world’s Bai Xueling had completed the purification of Bai Ze’s blood five hundred years earlier.

“Where exactly are you from?” Bai Xuelin asked. The inheritance of Bai Ze’s blood memories didn’t mention parallel worlds.

“Parallel worlds, my world is almost identical to yours. My world has the Nine Provinces and the Immortal Realm, and yours is the same, with the Nine Provinces and the Immortal Realm. The biggest difference between our two parallel worlds is probably between him and me.”

“You could say that our personalities, our adventures, and so on, have led to a change in the direction of the entire world.”

“As for why our personalities and adventures are so different, well, I suspect it’s a matter of probability. Some are calm, some violent, some prefer independence, some prefer to rely on external things. It’s all unpredictable; a person’s personality is unpredictable,”

Jiang Li said, expressing his speculation.

“Saint Lady Jingxin, Yu Yin, I didn’t expect that you are so different from the one I know, and you would fall in love with him at the same time.”

Saint Lady Jingxin was curious: “Then what are sister Yu Yin and I like in your world?”

“You are a little silly, a little cute, very simple, and easily deceived.”

“Yu Yin is cold, hard-mouthed, and not good at expressing herself. In fact, she is also restless in her heart, but she is very good at hiding it, and with Bai Hongtu and I as a foil, she appears very quiet and steady.”

Saint Lady Jingxin smiled at the corner of her eyes: “Then it seems that I and the Saint Lady Jingxin in your world have similar personalities.”

Yu Yin did not like Jiang Li’s evaluation of herself: “It’s very different from me. I say whatever I have to say and never be hard-mouthed.”

“Could it be that I like you in that world too?” Saint Lady Jingxin felt an indescribable joy in her heart when she thought that herself in countless parallel worlds could be entangled with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li rigorously corrected the Saint of the Pure Heart: “Your logic is flawed. Just because you like Idle Jiang Li doesn’t mean the Saint of the Pure Heart in my world also likes me.”

“By that logic, wouldn’t you, Yu Yin, Bai Xueling, and the others all like me?”

The Saint of the Pure Heart thought for a moment, and felt Jiang Li’s words made perfect sense.

“Meng Chun, you actually like him too?”

Meng Chun’s cheeks flushed slightly, embarrassed by the words.

Jiang Li felt a significant difference between him and Idle Jiang Li, evident by the number of female cultivators who had confirmed their relationships.

He estimated that this was only a small fraction, and he suspected that many more female cultivators might be maintaining ambiguous relationships with Idle Jiang Li.

“When I first saw you holding the Joyous Festival, I thought the difference between him and me was lust. After our fight, I realized our biggest difference lies in the system…”

Seeing Jiang Li about to say the word “system,” Idle Jiang Li quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.

“Brother, can I call you brother? Let’s not talk about this here.”

Jiang Li nodded, avoiding the crowd of women, and walked away with Idle Jiang Li to another location.

“My dear brother, don’t you know you can’t tell anyone about the system’s existence?”

“I don’t know. Why can’t I?”

“I once wanted to reveal my true feelings to the Pure Heart Saintess and the others, telling them about the system’s existence, but the system warned me that if I revealed its secrets, my soul would be annihilated.”

Jiang Li had never heard the system’s warning before, which he found amusing. “Do you think the system is powerful?”

“Powerful,” Idle Jiang Li answered truthfully. Without the system, he wouldn’t have made it this far.

“If the system is so powerful, why are you afraid of others knowing about it? Just like me, I don’t hide my identity unless it’s necessary. Identity isn’t something worth hiding.”

Idle Jiang Li didn’t want to discuss the issue any further. “You and I are both Jiang Li, so why is there such a huge difference in our strength?”

“Because my system was activated five hundred years later.”

Idle Jiang Li jumped up. “That’s impossible. Doesn’t that mean you’ve only had the system for ten years? How could you become so powerful in ten years?”

Jiang Li remained expressionless, pressing Idle Jiang Li’s shoulder and making him sit down.

“It’s not that I’ve become stronger in the past ten years, it’s that I’ve always been this strong.”

“The system isn’t the only way to become stronger.”

The idle Jiang Li didn’t believe the other person’s words, thinking he was unwilling to reveal the secret of his strength.

After all, revealing the method of becoming stronger would undermine the position of the strongest. This was human nature, and he could understand.

“After I traveled through time, the Jiang family bullied me everywhere. If it weren’t for the system, I might never have been able to make a comeback in the Jiang family.”

“You won’t run away from home? What is there in the Jiang family that you miss?”

Jiang Li didn’t understand why the idle Jiang Li was so determined to hang himself in the Jiang family. The Jiang family bullied you, and you couldn’t defeat them, so why not just leave the Jiang family?

The idle Jiang Li was speechless. Running away from home was easy to say. No matter how much the Jiang family bullied you, you inherited the memories of your original body and knew the Jiang family well. Leaving the Jiang family would mean facing an unknown future.

“If there was no system, how could I be admitted to the Great Zhou Royal Academy.”

“No, I remember that the entrance examination relied on the basic theories of cultivation. If you can’t even learn the basic theories of cultivation, how can you cultivate to be an immortal? It all depends on the system to add points and enlightenment?”

The idle Jiang Li said as a matter of course: “Of course, isn’t the system reward for the convenience of cultivating immortals?”

The idle Jiang Li continued to put forward arguments: “There is also the heavenly spiritual root. The heavenly spiritual root is obscure, and the five elements spiritual roots are revealed to the outside world. They can only be revealed in the Nascent Soul stage. Thanks to the system, I was able to awaken the heavenly spiritual root in the Golden Core stage.”

“When I was in the foundation-building stage, I fought a bloody battle with others, and both I and others were destroyed. I burned my spiritual roots, which caused the heavenly spiritual root to awaken early.” Jiang Li said lightly, not thinking how important the system was.

“What about the Infinite Dao Body? The system helped me obtain it during the Spiritual Transformation Stage, allowing me to store more spiritual energy than any other candidate for Emperor.”

Jiang Li nodded, acknowledging that the Infinite Dao Body had been a great help to him. “I also obtained the Infinite Dao Body during the Spiritual Transformation Stage, but I did it on my own.”

The Infinite Dao Body is an acquired physique that allows a person to store several times more spiritual energy than their peers, allowing them to fight longer.

However, once they reach the Mahayana Stage or the Immortal Stage, the Infinite Dao Body is of little use.

What other methods can an Immortal have to expand their immortal energy reserves?
