Chapter 208: Chapter 207: A Person Will Experience Four Deaths in Their Lifetime
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Li once thought of a phrase from his past life:
A person’s life will experience three deaths.
The first death is when your heartbeat stops, your breath fades, and you are biologically declared dead;
The second death is when you are buried, people attend your funeral, they announce, you no longer exist in this society, you quietly depart;
The third death, is when the last person in this world who remembers you, forgets about you, then, you truly die. The whole universe will no longer have anything to do with you.
At that time, Jiang Li thought this phrase made a lot of sense, and now, he had a new realization and decided to add one more sentence.
The fourth death is when everyone in this world remembers you, including your behaviors during your adolescent rebellion stage.
Damn you, Yun Bo!
Having crossed from a technologically advanced former life into an immortal filled world of Jiuzhou, it’s inevitable to have some fantasies. Jiang Li wrote this novel when he was at Hua Yun Sect, fantasizing about himself becoming the supremely powerful of Jiuzhou, invincible in the world, able to gather responses from everyone by merely raising his arm… in short, anything outrageous is possible.
Although these fantasies have now become reality, and even to the point of exceeding the reality, such as, he dared not think much at that time, and just fantasized about entering the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
But the issue is not necessarily the content, but the tone of speech and sentence structure.
So embarrassing.
This novel was hidden by him under the third brick to the left under his bed, which was hard to find. He had left in a hurry when he left the Hua Yun Sect and forgot to take away the book. Later, as he experienced so much excitement in Jiuzhou, he gradually forgot about this matter.
Had it not been exhibited at today’s auction, Jiang Li would have forgotten that he ever wrote such a novel.
Luckily, the novel was written in the language of his past life, and he only wrote a few thousand words, so others wouldn’t be able to decipher it even if they wanted to.
Otherwise, Jiang Li would consider leaving Jiuzhou and taking refuge in the zombie world.
Jiang Li now had the impulse to thank the system. Fortunately, it arranged a task to participate In tne auction, allowing mm to cover up ms adolescent rebellion history.
“This patron… fellow Daoist, you are…” The old man presiding over the auction looked hesitantly at Jiang Li, not knowing why the other party had such a great reaction and even stood up.
“Nothing, it’s just that I have admired the extraordinary Human Emperor for a long time. Today, I saw the remnants left by the Human Emperor. I was so overjoyed that I couldn’t help myself and stood up to express my joy.” Jiang Li quickly returned to a normal state and sat down calmly.
Jiang Li didn’t want his identity to be publicly revealed. Even if others didn’t know this was a novel written during his adolescent rebellion, he knew.
Express his identity, and then arrogantly take away the novel that he wrote during his adolescent rebellious period… Jiang Li’s sense of shame wouldn’t allow him to do that.
“My Dao Heart is not firm enough.” Jiang Li once again had a sensory feeling.
The Ruyi Gourd was surprised. Does this big boss have such a high frequency of enlightenment? Two enlightenment sessions in one auction.
There are quite a few followers of the Human Emperor in Jiuzhou, and some people were even more exaggerated than Jiang Li. The auctioneer didn’t think too much and continued to preside over the auction.
Seeing that there were quite a few people doubting the origin of this book among the crowd below, the old man explained, “Indeed, this book has not been recorded in any official or unofficial history, and the characters in the book have never been seen before. That’s why it’s called the Heavenly Book. We have invited many masters who study the Human Emperor to judge, and they all came to the same conclusion, this book is indeed written by the Human Emperor. ”
The old man was straightforward: “Unfortunately, this book only has a few thousand words, too few to decipher the meaning of the strange text. I’m afraid the only way to understand what the Human Emperor has written is to find similar works.”
“Of course, if the person who won the bid for this book is well-connected and can see the Human Emperor, they might know the answer after asking.” Hearing this, Ruyi Gourd curiously asked, “What is written in this book?”
Jiang Li did not answer. Instead, he gazed at Ruyi Gourd with melancholy and told it a story.
“Once upon a time, there were seven gourds who became spirits and recognized a mortal as their grandfather. They curiously asked, ‘Grandpa, where did we come from?’ The grandfather laughed and said, ‘Your curiosity is as heavy as your parents. Your parents used to ask the same question.’ The gourd spirits asked again, ‘But we’ve never seen our parents,’ and the grandfather laughed again and said, ‘Yes, where are your parents?”‘
“The seven gourd spirits were never seen again after that, and other gourd spirits appeared beside the grandfather.”
After listening to this, Ruyi Gourd trembled for a while and quickly squelched its curiosity.
“In that case, this book is also a treasure of the Human Emperor. The starting price is five thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.”
King Change and Chancellor Meng were eager to try. They were determined to win this treasure today.
“Eight thousand…” Just as King Change was about to call out his price, he was drowned out by a louder voice.
“Fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.” Jiang Li shouted out an impressive price with an undeniable tone.
Fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones were enough to buy three to four Cultivation Techniques for transcending tribulation and becoming an immortal.
Where did this nouveau riche come from? Does his family own a Spirit Stone mine?!
And King Change, who had prepared with fifty thousand Spirit Stones, was suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Chancellor Meng was even more prepared, he had gathered sixty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. He thought Jiang Li was just trying to outdo others with a seemingly rich act, but in reality, only had fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
So, Chancellor Meng made his bid: “Fifty-one thousand…”
“One hundred thousand.” Jiang Li immediately doubled the price.
He had to win this book, even if an immortal came, he wouldn’t be able to stop him.
Jiang Li’s bid was outrageous. The well-prepared King Change and Chancellor Meng were defeated in one fell swoop, with no hope of victory.
The auctioneer was overjoyed. He didn’t know where this big spender came from, but they bid without even blinking an eye. One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones greatly exceeded the expectation of the business association.
“One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones for the first time.” “One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones for the second time.” “One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones for the third time.”
The old man knocked with his little hammer: “Deal! Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for obtaining the Heavenly Book of the Human Emperor.” Having obtained the Heavenly Book that everyone wanted to have, Jiang Li didn’t feel any joy.
The first thing Jiang Li did when he got this book was to stuff it into a box, apply multiple seals, and even a true immortal wouldn’t be able to open it. The box was then placed inside another box, and more seals were applied. This was repeated three times before Jiang Li finally put the box, or rather the crate, into the Storage Ring.
“It’s safe now.” Jiang Li let out a long breath.
“Would you like me to arrange for escorts to ensure your safety?” The auctioneer inquired considerately. Initially, the society did not have this service, but considering this is a big client, he added this service specifically for him.
Jiang Li refused.
The security of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty had always put Jiang Li at ease. As soon as he left the auction house, a group of people surrounded him with imposing momentum and infamous intentions.
There were disgraced family heirs who felt that they had lost face and bandits who wanted to take the opportunity to rob others.
Jiang Li sneered, waiting for just these people.
Jiang Li acted decisively, teaching these people a painful lesson, making them so injured that they had to lie in bed for three months, and even medicinal pills wouldn’t help.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task]
