Through the conversation with these two monks, Jiang Li gained a new understanding of himself.
It turned out that his swordsmanship was superb, capable of destroying the earth and sky with a single sword, his path in Alchemy Dao was unique, refining the highest level of Immortal Pills casually, his Formation skills were the best in the world, capable of imprinting formation patterns in the Void, his concepts of space had surpassed his predecessors, he could manipulate the continents at will, stacking them as nine layers of heaven, his knowledge of the way of Reincarnation was unrivaled, with the past, present and future converging into one, only focusing on the present life…
Although Jiang Li did feel that he was powerful, he felt that his strength couldn’t compare to the imagination of the masses.
“The Human Emperor is truly powerful,” Jiang Li spoke the truth.
Upon seeing Jiang Li’s sincere commentary without any pretense, the two monks began to regard Jiang Li favorably.
“Having talked for so long. I still don’t know your name.’
“Qian Li.”
“So it’s Daoist Qian Li. I am Zhang Long, and this is Lu Bu Cong.”
“The Sword Tomb is opening and we both wish to try our luck there. What are your thoughts on this, Daoist Qian Li?”
“I indeed plan to go to the Sword Tomb,” Jiang Li nodded.
“That’s good, let’s go together, so we can look out for each other,” Zhang Long was delighted, “we can also continue discussing the Human Emperor on the way.”
Jiang Li felt that the latter part of the sentence was the actual intention.
Lu Bu Cong also nodded.
While Jiang Li was about to agree, he saw several acquaintances, so he refused politely.
These two people didn’t insist; they only stated that if they met in the Sword Tomb, they would accommodate Jiang Li.
“Master, the Sword Tomb is opening, should we try?” After overhearing some passerby’s conversation, Qin Luan paid attention and found herself lucky to come upon the Sword Tomb’s opening.
The open time of the Sword Tomb is irregular, it will only show a sign of unusual Sword Qi a few days before it opens.
“Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try. However, I’ve heard that only monks below the Golden Core Stage are permitted to enter the Sword Tomb. Both of you can go in, I won’t go,” Yuan Wuxing nodded. The matter of the Sword Tomb was something he’d heard of before, only those who were fewer than thirty years old and at the Golden Core Stage could enter.
He can’t enter regardless of his age or cultivation level.
Yuan Wuxing said, “Then, I’ll take care of this little fox. What is this little fox saying?”
On Qin Luan’s shoulder was a delicate snow-white fox, very cute, making gestures with its small claws.
Song Ying, looking at the little fox, did not move closer out of its cuteness, instead, she retained her vigilance due to an unknown sense of danger.
Song Ying and Yuan Wuxing did not understand the little fox’s language, only Qin Luan, as if to have formed a connection with the little fox, understood it. “Little Bai said it also wants to go into the Sword Tomb.”
Yuan Wuxing burst into laughter, “A little thing that barely understands human language also wants to go? Fine, you can take it with you.”
“Hey, someone is waving at us in the distance. Is one of you familiar with him?” Song Ying noticed a cultivator in the teahouse not far away waving at them.
Qin Luan and the little fox shook their heads simultaneously, indicating that they did not recognize this person.
Yuan Wuxing tentatively walked over and asked, “Are you from the Dao Sect?”
“Your intuition is accurate.”
Since Jiang Li admitted it, Yuan Wuxing knew he hadn’t mistaken the person, and he called Qin Luan and Song Ying over.
“It’s nice to meet you again; it seems that we are fated,” Jiang Li said cheerfully.
It truly was fate. Jiang Li had changed his appearance completely; even his acquaintances couldn’t recognize him. If they met but didn’t recognize him, they only had fate but not destiny.
He greeted the three of them to see if anyone could recognize him.
Yuan Wuxing didn’t disappoint and recognized Jiang Li.
This was destiny.
“Your cultivation has been good, showing no slackness or deviation.”
Knowing that cultivators need to hide their cultivation level when they are outside, the three of Qin Luan did a lot work to hide their actual power, but Jiang Li detected their current cultivation level with just a glance.
The time flow in the world of zombies was different, calculating according to the time of Jiuzhou, the last time he met Qin Luan and the others, it had already been more than four years.
Yuan Wuxing had reached the mid-term of Nascent Soul and showed signs of breakthrough at any time.
Qin Luan had reached the late stage of the Golden Core.
Song Ying had reached the mid-term of Golden Core.
All of their cultivation speeds had exceeded Jiang Li’s expectations, which showed they must have had other opportunities.
Being praised by the Human Emperor made the three of them feel a little smug.
“This white fox is nice, it warms your hands in winter.” Jiang Li looked at the little fox with smooth and glossy fur, pity that it was too small. It wasn’t even enough to make a collar.
The little fox, understanding the human language, grimaced at Jiang Li.
“Where did you get this from?”
Qin Luan honestly replied, “It was saved from the mountain a year ago. At the time, Little Bai was being chased by a wild boar. In order to eat pork, I happened to kill the boar and saved Little Bai.”
“At that time, Little Bai was dirty and it was hard to see its color. Master accidentally put it in the pot, which revealed it was not a gray fox, but a white fox.”
“Since then I have been raising Little Bai. Little Bai has a gift for treasure hunting and can find rare and precious treasures hidden in secluded places.”
Song Ying interrupted, “One late night, I saw a strange fox woman bathing in the lake. She had white ears and a white tail, exuding a seductive charm. When she turned around and saw me, she shouted, instantly disappeared. White foxes are rare, I don’t believe I just happened to encounter a fox woman, It must be Little Bai!”
“You must have been dreamy,” Qin Luan firmly shook his head, “Master has also checked Little Bai’s age, it’s just over a year old, how could it be the fox woman you talked about? And there are no monsters that could transform at such a young age.”
The little white fox, looking smug, threw a provocative glance at Song Ying.
“Wasn’t that glance from it just now a provocation?” Song Ying, who had a keen sense of the little white fox’s gaze, asked.
“Not at all, you must have seen it wrong,” Qin Luan denied.
“Mr. Jiang, What do you think?” Song Ying turned to Jiang Li for help.
“I’ve heard that the Monarch of Qingqiu Nation has a gift called Resurrection. Initially, I thought she might have encountered some life-threatening danger, and had to reluctantly use the gift of Resurrection to retain her memory and live again,” Jiang Li said cheerfully.
The smug little fox instantly became alert and watched Jiang Li cautiously, unsure of who this Mr. Jiang really was.
Jiang Li picked up the little white fox by the back of its neck, examined it for some time, and then put it back on Qin Luan’s shoulder.
“However, on second thought, the Monarch of Qingqiu Nation is such a proud white fox, she is always disdainful of the human race. How could she possibly stay obediently on your shoulder? Perhaps I misjudged.”
Since she didn’t want to reveal her identity, Jiang Li did not bring it up.
Since Jiang Li did not want to disclose his identity, the three of Qin Luan never referred to Jiang Li as the Human Emperor. Consequently, the little fox had no way of finding out Jiang Li’s identity, only assuming that Jiang Li was an old acquaintance of Yuan Wuxing and Qin Luan’s.
“Hahaha, Mr. Jiang really has a sense of humor,” Qin Luan didn’t believe the casual fox he picked up could be so extraordinary.
Qin Luan had also heard of Qingqiu Nation. Although it wasn’t among the nine imperial dynasties, it was still a large country that occupied its own territory. The ruler was a nine-tailed celestial fox, a genuine pure-blooded celestial beast with a cultivation level that was astounding and rarely had any rivals.
How could a nine-tailed celestial fox possibly be Little Bai?
Qin Luan saw an acquaintance on the street..
