810 Facing the Calamity (2)

As for rare immortal qi like wind, lightning, and ice, Jiang Li did not need them that much.

It was best if there was. It did not matter if there was not.

They had completed the mission to exchange for spiritual qi very well.

However, it was difficult to recruit other reincarnations of Immortals and Buddhas.

Up until now, no other reincarnation was willing to join Fengdu City.

After all, they were all top experts at that time and were former Immortals and Buddhas.

The arrogance in their heart was not something that mortals could compare to.

Wasn’t it good to enjoy the right to decide life and death in their own territory?

It was too naive to use just a few wisps of immortal qi to make them submit to others.

Unless it was someone like Qiu Shui, who had yet to reincarnate, it was possible to pick them up in advance.

However, such people clearly did not have the ability to cross the Black Sea and the Prosperous Ox Continent that was covered in flesh and blood.

Although he was a little disappointed, it was expected.

If he wanted to continue strengthening Fengdu Ghost City in a short period of time, it seemed that he had to think of other methods.

“Has there been any abnormality in the Prosperous Ox Continent recently?”

Feeling the other three strands of immortal qi that continuously emerged in his body, Jiang Li asked about serious matters.

“Strange movements?”

Hearing the City Lord’s question, the three Hall Masters and four Merit Ministers were a little confused.

Apart from the fact that there were demons invading the entire continent and fighting the flesh calamity, they had not discovered anything else wrong recently.

Jiang Li frowned, and then he closed his eyes and connected his consciousness to the flesh and blood clone.

Under his control, strange eyes of insects, fish, birds, mammals, and so on opened on the flesh carpet and scanned the entire continent for the current Human Emperor.

Not long after he removed the blood-colored gaze, the parallel mind had already grasped the power of the Flesh Lord again.

After obtaining the eye formed from the will of the Asura World, his grasp of the flesh calamity became even deeper.

However, even after scanning the entire continent with his naked eye, he could not find any other abnormalities.

It was really unbelievable.

What was the problem that he sensed through the Merit Golden Lotus?

“Could this be the current Human Emperor? Greetings.”

While Jiang Li was thinking, an old Daoist in ragged clothes suddenly appeared not far away.

As he hugged the wine pot in his hand and bowed casually, he walked into the main hall of the original Armored Troll Court.

“Ah, please move aside and let me speak to the Human Emperor.”

He really did not treat himself as an outsider. He even waved his hand to let the three Hall Masters and the four Merit Ministers move aside.

“Who are you? Don’t be rude in front of the Human Emperor!”

After Jiang Li became the Human Emperor, Ba Xia’s attitude changed greatly.

This guy, who had finally recovered some strength, was a little anxious to prove his strength in front of his master.

Taking a step forward, a yellow halo enveloped the old Daoist who entered the hall.

Ba Xia loved to carry heavy loads, so he carried a mountain on his back.

He had an innate divine art that could transfer the weight he carried to his enemy and crush them to death.

If Jiang Li could build a new Merit Tablet for him like Great Yu, he would be able to vividly unleash that innate divine art.

However, the old Daoist priest was clearly hit by the yellow light, but his figure only paused for a moment before continuing forward.

There were many people who were unique, but most of them were quite capable to be able to live so long alone.

However, Ba Xia’s divine art halo seemed to have some effect.

The old Daoist’s figure blurred. It was obvious that the illusion technique on his surface had been broken by the impact of the divine art.

The flesh on the lower half of his body below the waist suddenly turned into mud and dirt.

In the end, only half of the black bones were left. The two bone legs were still moving forward shakily.

“I’m only a person who’s about to die. Son of the Ancestral Dragon, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

After this old Daoist’s illusion technique was broken, he seemed to have lost his interest and his mood became bad.

Jiang Li was even more surprised by his words.

How long had it been since Ba Xia came out of captivity? There should be no possibility of information being leaked.

However, he could expose Ba Xia’s true body with a single sentence. This old Daoist was really something.

“My name is Suan Bansheng. Greetings, Human Emperor.”

The old Daoist bowed, no longer as frivolous as before.

It was unknown if it was out of respect for the Human Emperor or because of the curse on his lower body.

“Suan Bansheng, the fortune-teller of the Southern View Continent who claims to be able to calculate the first half of one’s life without error.”

“I’ve heard of you.”

Jiang Li thought for a moment before similarly revealing the other party’s identity and background.

...

After all, he was sitting on the throne of the Human Emperor. He could not only dominate a small piece of land in the Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent.

Sooner or later, he would rule the humans of the Nine Provinces.

However, he did not want to kill all the leaders of the other regions.

On such a vast land, doing so was time-consuming and extremely difficult. It would even become the public enemy of the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces.

As long as he did not eliminate them completely, he would only be dragged into the mud of war by repeated enemies.

With Jiang Ziya watching covetously, it was really unwise to do this.

Therefore, so far, he had only sent people to collect information in other areas.

This Suan Bansheng was very famous five to six hundred years ago. Naturally, he was recorded down.

“Human Emperor, you must be joking. I will definitely suffer the wrath of the heavens if I leak the heavenly secrets.”

“I spent the first half of my life divining, and half of my body became like this. I really don’t have the intention to recall my bravery back then.”

“I only want to make the last divination for you, the Human Emperor, and the people of the world!”

...

The tragic lower half of this old Daoist’s body was enough to prove that his Dao Divination cultivation was indeed extraordinary.

However, after the divine punishment erupted, every divination would cause the situation to worsen greatly. What was worth him risking such a price to perform another divination?

“Senior, why do you think I need your divination? What calamity will the people of the Nine Provinces face? Senior, please tell me.”

Jiang Li had always been a polite person and was willing to give this person a chance.

“Asuras are everywhere, the sky is pierced, ferocious immortal descends and slaughters all living beings!”

“This is my master’s last divination before he died. It’s the start of the calamity of the Nine Provinces!”

“As for the Human Emperor who unleashed the shocking halberd strike in the Prosperous Ox Continent, he will be the one facing the calamity!”

“I’m here to help the Human Emperor face the calamity!”

Jiang Li raised his brows. Since when had he become the one facing the calamity?

Logically speaking, he was an outsider and should not belong to this world. He suspected that this old Daoist had calculated wrongly.

However, he also wanted to know the source of the calamity in his heart. He might as well give it a try.

After telling him what he wanted to know, the old Daoist did not hesitate at all.

He took out a tortoise shell and threw three ancient coins in.

He did not form hand seals or chant incantations. He only casually shook the tortoise shell twice and poured out three copper coins.

However, as the copper coins were poured out, Suan Bansheng’s divine punishment curse became more and more serious.

From the waist to the chest, everything below had become black bones.

The old Daoist priest’s face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

However, that did not seem to be his concern.

He raised the wine pot in his hand and took two gulps.

The wine slid down his throat and leaked out from the bones below his chest.

“That’s enough. If I had known earlier, I would have finished it first.”

“Forget it, Human Emperor, come.”

The three copper coins were golden in color and seemed to contain something.

Jiang Li did not sense any dangerous aura inside, so he simply took two steps forward and pressed his hand on the shell.

Immediately, images appeared in his eyes.

High-end Daoists would never use such tricks to deliberately mystify things.

This was because saying those words only proved that he did not have confidence in what he said.

If he met a mysterious old man who spoke half a sentence, he would drag him out and beat him up. It was not wrong to say that most of them were frauds.

A true expert could even directly show the scene.
