The scale of this conference is massive, and as the best intelligence agency in Jiuzhou, Sky Mechanism Tower would certainly not miss this opportunity.
The Tower Master of Sky Mechanism even wanted to make a big move, creating a ranking for cultivators of all levels in Jiuzhou, and this conference was a perfect opportunity to gather information.
Therefore, there were disciples of Sky Mechanism Tower all over the Imperial City of the Zhou Dynasty, observing and tracking the movements of cultivators participating in the conference.
A disciple of Sky Mechanism Tower noticed Jiang Li’s group, a Nascent Soul Stage loose cultivator participating in the conference, which was a small hotspot. His private interviews might even make it to Sky Mechanism Report. He could collect enough contribution points by then.
With this mentality in mind, he quickly walked over.
“Greetings, sirs, I’m Lü Kai, a disciple of Sky Mechanism Tower,” the disciple of Sky Mechanism Tower introduced himself, ‘May I take a moment of your time for a few questions?”
“Of course, go ahead.” Bai Hongtu responded.
“What are your purposes behind participating in this conference?”
This was a standard question, and Lü Kai didn’t expect any novel answers. Usually, the responses were about obtaining fame, gaining the favors of major forces, seeking bountiful rewards, or showcasing oneself. “To regain the title of No.l Sword Cultivator in Jiuzhou.”
“To protect the title of No.l Sword Cultivator in Jiuzhou.”
The Sword Monarch and Bai Hongtu spoke simultaneously. Lü Kai’s mouth twitched. Such a big ambition, these two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators wanted to compete for the title of No.l Sword Cultivator in Jiuzhou?
“Both of you… have grand ambitions.” Lü Kai managed to squeeze out these words after a long pause and shifted his gaze to Yu Yin.
Despite altering her appearance, Yu Yin still remained an extraordinary beauty. Lü Kai thought that she might be able to provide a more normal answer.
“Fight to the end.” Yu Yin’s response had an air of murderous intent. With four Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators participating in the conference, what else could they do except fight a desperate battle?
Of course, when they say desperate battles, it didn’t necessarily mean a fight to the death.
It wasn’t difficult for Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators to decide who was superior, but killing the opponent was challenging. Unless the gap between both parties was huge, even if the fight lasted a year, no one would die.
“To give Ji Zhi some trouble.” Li Er honestly answered.
Li Er, with his simple attire, honest face, and dark complexion, seemed like a rural man. Anyone who saw him wouldn’t believe he was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator.
If Jiang Li hadn’t confirmed Dragon Lady Li Nian’er’s bloodline was inherited from Li Er, it would be hard to believe he sired such a beautiful daughter.
One could only presume that she takes after her mother.
“Interesting.” Lü Kai dully remarked and shifted his gaze to Jiang Li.
“It’s known that you’re a Divinity Transformation cultivator. May I ask, leading them to the conference, what results do you expect to achieve?”
“As long as the Imperial City isn’t destroyed, I will consider it a success.”
Lü Kai smirked inside. According to his knowledge, a Formation would protect the stage, even a Divinity Transformation cultivator wouldn’t be able to break it.
These cultivators just have wild imaginations.
“The theme of this conference is to encourage the use of Spiritual Treasures. Will any of you use Spiritual Treasures with spiritual wisdom?” Lü Kai added another question.
Yu Yin tapped on her gourd but didn’t say a word. In contrast, the gourd itself was swinging back and forth, flaunting its presence.
Bai Hongtu and Sword Monarch didn’t answer.
Bai Hongtu’s Luo Yu Sword indeed had spiritual wisdom and learned swordsmanship at an astonishing speed. However, it wasn’t on par with Bai Hongtu’s pace.
Bai Hongtu had been immersed in Sword Dao for 500 years; it wasn’t possible for the Luo Yu Sword to catch up with him in only a few years.
He had Artifact Refinement Peak create another Spirit Sword for his use while setting the Luo Yu Sword aside for the time being.
After the Sword Monarch was resurrected, he was intrigued by Spiritual Treasures possessing spiritual wisdom. However, he encountered the same problem as Bai Hongtu—without a suitable Spiritual Treasure, he chose to use his original sword.
As Li Er scratched the back of his head with an honest smile, he said, “If there was an Immortal Artifact for me to use, that would be better. Other grade
Spiritual Treasures aren’t as sturdy as my body. Let’s forget it.”
Upon hearing this, Lü Kai became deeply interested in these individuals.
There are no fools among those who’ve cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage. These cultivators’ audacious remarks suggested an extraordinary capability.
His gut told him that following these people through to the end of the conference would wield great rewards.
He asked if he could continue to accompany them, and none of them rejected his request.
“I need to step away for a bit. I’ll find you later.” After saying these words, Jiang Li vanished from the spot.
At the Imperial City VIP Reception Building, representatives from various forces gathered.
“Four Dragon Kings, long time no see.”
“Saintess Pure Heart, are you representing Red Dust Pure Realms?”
“Master Wu Zhi is comprehending a critical point in Buddhist Law, and it’s inconvenient for him to leave. Bodhisattva Xiang Xiang is representing Buddhism in the conference.” Bodhisattva Xiang Xiang was a beautiful woman with a red dot in the middle of her eyebrows, immaculate skin, wearing a white skirt, barefoot, and spoke little.
It is said that she is striving to master one of the six great divine skills of
Buddhism, Heavenly Vision.
“Emperor Wei, Emperor Meng Jiang, both of you have also arrived. I’ve been wanting to ask a question. I heard that you two had a fight above Meng Jiang’s city a few years ago, what was the cause?”
“That’s unspeakable, unspeakable.” Emperor Wei and Emperor Meng Jiang definitely could not tell the affair of the Celestial Maiden in the Red Dust.
“Satisfy my curiosity, will you?” The Head of Hehuan Sect rested her left arm on her chest while her index finger pointed at her lips, charmingly. “I am considering setting up a branch in Great Wei or Dream River Dynasty.”
Saintess Pure Heart spat in disgust, clearly feeling disdainful about the Head of Hehuan Sect’s actions.
Such useless things.
Emperor Wei and Emperor Meng Jiang were men of great resolve. Naturally, they were tempted by the beauty’s trick.
“Hehuan Sect Master, you sure dig deep.”
A chuckle interrupted Emperor Wei and Emperor Meng Jiang’s deliberations. Saintess Pure Heart was present and, of course, she would not let the two disclose it.
If they did, there would never be peace for Red Dust Pure Realms.
Emperor Wei and Emperor Meng Jiang suddenly understood. Remembering they fought for love and were hammered to the ground by Jiang Li in just three moves and cried out for the Imperial Physician, they also remembered Jiang Li warning them not to reveal the matter of the Celestial Maiden in the Red Dust. They immediately shut their mouths and the beauty’s trick had no effect on them.
“Saintess Pure Heart seems to interfere quite a bit.” The Head of Hehuan Sect, named Dream Yu Yu was interrupted by Saintess Pure Heart but she didn’t seem irritated. Instead, she smiled brightly, “Could it be that you also have control over Jiang Human Emperor?”
“What do I care why Jiang Li does?” Saintess Pure Heart huffed.
“I thought you liked him.” Dream Yu Yu pretended to be surprised, “I didn’t expect that it was a misunderstanding.”
“Who would like him.” Saintess Pure Heart turned her head away, appearing annoyed.
As the owner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Zhi was naturally present there. Seeing Saintess Pure Heart respond this way, he gloomily covered his forehead, wondering how much longer it would take for her to catch up to Jiang Li.
“I don’t poach. If that’s the case, I don’t think the Saintess would have any objections if I pursue the Human Emperor.” Dream Yu Yu lightly stepped forward, leaning over the rosy earlobe of Saintess Pure Heart and whispered, “The Human Emperor is so powerful, dual cultivation with him must certainly flavor. And I’m not joking.”
“You…” Saintess Pure Heart gritted her teeth, “Do as you please.”
“Why is it that Sect Master Dream both wants to pursue me and ask for my permission? Has your spiritual platform split?” Jiang Li suddenly appeared nearby and asked..
