We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 555
Chapter 553 I am practicing Heavenly Dog Eating the Moon
The headquarters of the Mutual Aid Association consists of several buildings. It is a famous landmark in the local area, but the public has never known what it is used for.
A group of people practicing immortality in the city naturally have various means to obtain money. These buildings are just the tip of the iceberg of their wealth.
Wen Quan is a good example. After practicing for a few months, he was able to win 120 million by gambling on stones.
“Welcome Senior Huiming, Senior Jiangli, and Fellow Daoist Wenquan.” The president stood at the door. Seeing Jiang Li and others, he put down the mooncakes in his hands and warmly welcomed them.
Qin Yi had already told the president their identities through the thousand-mile communication magic treasure – the mobile phone.
Jiang Li looked at the bag of mooncakes in the president’s hand and was a little confused: “Thank you, we don’t eat mooncakes.”
The president explained awkwardly: “I use these mooncakes for practicing.”
Jiang Li was even more puzzled.
“You should know that my master is Master Xiaoyue, a great Tengu demon in the Fusion Stage.”
“Just found out.”
“The Tengu clan’s most famous magical power is the Tengu eating the moon. You should know that, too.”
“Yes.”
“So I’m cultivating the prototype of the Tengu eating the moon—the Tengu eating mooncakes.”
“Master said, eating mooncakes is cultivation.”
Jiang Li: “…”
He felt completely ignorant.
“What about Master Xiaoyue?”
The guild leader was a little embarrassed, unsure how to explain. Only Daoist Huiming, knowing the dog’s personality, offered understanding.
Sanren Tingfeng explained to Jiang Li and Wen Quan, “Due to his cultivation method, race, and personality, Daoist Xiaoyue is only active at night, conserving his energy during the day.”
Jiang Li asked why he had never seen any Tengu clan members active only at night in Jiuzhou. Was it because the Tengu clan in Jiuzhou had not yet cultivated to the Fusion Stage?
“Did Senior Tingfeng tell you about the Mutual Aid Association and the Destruction Alliance?”
Jiang Li nodded. “Just now, when we talked about the founding of the Mutual Aid Association, your master was beaten.”
“…Then I’ll continue.”
The president thought for a moment, skipping over the part where the master was beaten. “The Jingyu World was destroyed by an Earth Immortal monster. The origin of the Earth Immortal monster is unknown. The elders of Jingyu World thought that if the Earth Immortal monster attacked, they would help us resist it.”
“This is also the purpose of the Mutual Aid Association.”
Jiang Li only then realized that the Mutual Aid Association did not mean mutual assistance among the surviving cultivators of Jingyu World, but rather mutual assistance between Jingyu World and Qinxin World.
“We are considering whether to promote the cultivation method and create a nationwide wave of cultivation. As preliminary preparations, we have released the news and written many novels on the theme of spiritual energy revival to prepare everyone.”
The president led everyone to another building dedicated to research, with fifty-eight floors above and ninety-five floors below.
“At the same time, we’re exploring how to combine cultivation with technology. Here are some of our scientific achievements.”
“What is this?” Wen Quan saw something the size of a playing card, made of steel, upon entering. It had some unfamiliar patterns painted on it—it must be a talisman.
“This is an explosive talisman. In the Jingyu world, cultivators throw talismans to cause them to explode. This involves applying force and using spiritual energy, which is too difficult for those without experience. Who could even throw paper?”
“Our researchers have made some minor improvements, changing the talisman’s material from paper to steel to make it easier to throw.”
“So you consider this a combination of cultivation and technology?” Wen Quan was stunned.
“No, this is a research project researchers are using to defraud funding. I’ve placed it in a prominent position to warn future researchers against any ulterior motives.”
“I’ve also vetoed their subsequent research project.”
“What’s the subsequent project?” Jiang Li asked curiously.
“Turn the steel plate into a paper-shaped shape, so it’s easier to recycle the talismans.”
“…”
Here, Jiang Li saw other products. Aside from the somewhat unreliable steel talismans, the other products that combined cultivation and technology were still quite remarkable.
While not as impressive as those from Jiuzhou, they still showed a clear use of imagination.
After all, their cultivation time was short and their cultivation was limited. The cultivators of the Jingyu World couldn’t directly take action, nor could they achieve the kind of research and mechanized talisman production that the cultivators in the Fusion Stage of Jiuzhou had done.
The president led everyone to the reception hall, seated them, and served them tea and water, without a trace of his arrogance.
“However, not all the elders in Jingyu World want to help our world. Some cultivators who practice the magic path don’t like our world. Not only do they dislike it, they have also formed the Destruction Alliance to destroy our world.” “
At first, we didn’t understand the reason. Later, after we captured a few of them, we learned their intentions.”
“They envy our world. Our world has never practiced cultivation. Everyone is weak and mortal, and will die at the slightest touch. Their so-called technology is nothing more than a trick, without any real power. Yet, how is it that our world is safe and sound, while no one in their Jingyu world survives?”
“I had originally wondered if there was some misunderstanding between us and the Destruction Alliance. As cultivators from the Jingyu World, we should unite when we come here.” “
After learning the reasons of the Destruction Alliance, we realized that there was no possibility of peace talks and cooperation between the Mutual Aid Association and the Destruction Alliance.”
The president said regretfully: “Openly and covertly, the Mutual Aid Association and the Destruction Alliance have fought each other several times, winning more than we lost. But no matter how we gain the upper hand, the Destruction Alliance has the Withered Bone Demon Lord in charge, which means we have no way to deal with the Destruction Alliance.”
“After several years of development, we’ve gained a significant position in various industries and have begun collaborating with the nation to combat the Alliance of Destruction.”
“That bastard, Ku Gu, is as jealous as ever. He’s a dog that can’t change its nature. Does he want to repeat the disaster here?!” Taoist Hui Ming cursed, eager to engage in a fierce battle with the Demon Lord Ku Gu.
“When I first saw him fighting the Earth Immortal monsters with me, I thought he’d turned over a new leaf. Now I think he was forced to join forces with me out of necessity.”
“Where is the Withered Bones now?”
the president exclaimed, as this meant that Taoist Huiming was on their side.
“The Withered Bones Demon Lord never attacks directly, and we’ve never known his exact location. We once captured a member of the Destruction Alliance at the Fusion Stage, and even they didn’t know who the Withered Bones Demon Lord had possessed.” The president felt regretful, but the regret soon faded. With Taoist Huiming joining, their mutual aid association’s foundation had greatly increased.
Thinking of this, the president happily took a bite of his mooncake. “
Hmm,” he felt, “I feel I’ve taken another step closer to reaching the level of a Heavenly Dog eating the Moon. Let’s keep working hard.
” “Senior Huiming, are you willing to join the mutual aid association? I’m willing to step down and let Fellow Daoist Wenquan become president.”
Wenquan looked at Taoist Huiming, waiting for his master’s decision. Taoist Huiming looked at Jiang Li, waiting for Jiang Li’s decision. Jiang Li looked back at Wenquan, trying to gauge his opinion.
Seeing the three of them motionless, the president thought they were possessed.
Finally, it was Taoist Huiming who broke the deadlock, saying, “I can lead the Mutual Aid Association, but if you want to defeat Dry Bones, your focus shouldn’t be on me, but on Fellow Daoist Jiang Li.”
“May I ask where this Senior Jiang Li comes from?” the president asked tentatively.
Taoist Huiming said solemnly, “This Fellow Daoist Jiang Li comes from the most powerful world of the Nine Provinces. He is the strongest being in the Nine Provinces. Although he hasn’t attained immortality, he can kill immortals. He has blazed a new trail on the path to immortality.”
