Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Zhou Huang gets beaten up

“All things under heaven, all come from the Dao Sect.”

This is a widely circulated saying in Jiuzhou, which, although somewhat exaggerated, is sufficient to illustrate the position of the Dao Sect in Jiuzhou.

There are four main types of external power that cultivators commonly borrow: medicinal pills, spiritual treasures, runes, and formations. The

Alchemy Peak, Artifact Refinement Peak, Rune Peak, and Array Formation Peak of the Dao Sect are the leaders in these four types of external forces.

No matter how anyone wishes to learn these four kinds of external forces, it is impossible to avoid the Dao Sect.

Jiang Li and the Saintess of Pure Heart arrived at the entrance of Artifact Refinement Peak and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl standing there with several guards nearby. Even though they tried to conceal their cultivation level, Jiang Li could sense that the strongest among these guards was of the Body Integration Realm, and the rest were also experts at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

They must belong to a powerful family.

“Uncle, you can’t go in,” the little girl stopped Jiang Li as he was about to enter. “My father and Uncle Feng are refining artifacts inside. My father said no one can go in before the refinement is completed!”

“What a cute little girl, what’s your name?” The Saintess of Pure Heart found the little girl charming and touched her head.

“Don’t touch me!” The little girl shook her head vigorously to escape from the

Saintess of Pure Heart’s palm. She put her hands on her hips and said, “Humph,

I am the nineteenth princess of the Great Zhou, Ji Kongkong!”

“Oh, so your father is Ji Zhi?” Jiang Li’s interest was piqued. He hadn’t expected to meet Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou here.

The Dao Sect Master, Bai Hongtu, must have learnt about Jiang Li’s cover as a Dao Sect disciple from Ji Zhi!

“Uncle, do you know my father?” Ji Kongkong, seeing Jiang Li wearing the Human Emperor mask, took a liking to him.

She also admired Emperor Jiang Li very much.

How could anyone who admired the Emperor be a bad person? Ji Kongkong thought so.

Oviously, she didn’t know about her third brother’s affairs.

Several guards surrounded the three of them, intending to protect Ji

Kongkong. The lead guard asked, “Do you two Imow our sovereign?”

The guards were nervous. They couldn’t measure the strength of these two people. Both were definitely experts at the Body Integration Realm. If they had ill-intentions towards the princess, they would be helpless.

“Don’t be so tense.” Jiang Li laughed, took off his mask, and revealed a face identical to the one on the mask. “After all, I’m an old friend of your sovereign.”

“Zhou Emperor’s guards pay respects to Emperor Jiang Li! ” Recognising it was Jiang Li, they relaxed immediately and saluted promptly.

Ji Kongkong’s mouth was wide open, big enough to swallow an egg. “Uncle, you’re Emperor Jiang Li? My father told me about you!”

“Oh, what did he say?”

“Father said that you are a great hero in Jiuzhou, a true immortal reincarnated! He told me about your journey to become the Human Emperor, and how you endured numerous hardships. He told me the story of how you protected Jiuzhou and fought with my father against the Heavenly Demons!” Ji Kongkong was dancing with excitement as she repeated the bedtime stories that Emperor Ji Zhi used to tell her.

“Hahaha, I never knew that Ji Zhi saw me like this!” Laughed Jiang Li, deciding to go easy on Ji Zhi when he beat him up later.

“Aren’t artifact refinements supposed to be quiet? What’s Ji Zhi doing inside? He can’t refine.”

Jiang Li laughed, “You forget about Ji Zhi’s double pupils, they’re a big help in artifact refinement.”

Inside the Artifact Refinement Peak, Ji Zhi and Chief of Artifact Refinement Peak were hard at work studying artifact refinement.

“What if we increase the fire power by ten percent half an hour later, would it be successful?” The Chief of Artifact Refinement Peak was doodling on a piece of paper, it was covered with the refining process. He scratched and altered it, making it look messy.

Refining possessed the risk of blowing up the furnace, which would render more than half of the materials inside useless. Therefore, the Chief of Artifact Refinement Peak would usually calculate multiple times to achieve the correct refining process before starting. The process included the intensity of fire, materials, style and so on, it was a very meticulous task.

However, this time with Ji Zhi’s help, things were much easier.

Ji Zhi’s double pupils became deep and mysterious, as if they could perceive everything.

“No, it will still blow up.” Ji Zhi foresaw that the furnace would fail under this process.

“Hmm, what if we replace Tianshan pure water with snow mountain pure water?” “No, this time the explosion is even bigger.”

“Then…”

“Then…”

“Then…

“Hey, it will succeed this time!”

After multiple attempts, they finally confirmed the successful process. Ji Zhi was panting heavily. Using his double pupils to look into the past and future was labor-consuming, even though he was good at it. As a result, he usually wouldn’t use his eyes recklessly.

“Huh?” Ji Zhi’s expression suddenly soured.

“What’s wrong?”

“I saw that I’m going to be beaten up when I go out later.”

“Who is it?” The Chief of Artifact Refinement Peak was curious, thinking there was nothing to worry about since Ji Zhi could foresee the future and avoid danger.

“It’s Jiang Li!”

The Chief of Artifact Refinement Peak was silent for a moment, without needing to ask, he guessed that Ji Zhi, who often gossiped too much, must have accidentally offended Jiang Li.

He patted Ji Zhi on the shoulder, “… I’ll go to Alchemy Peak to find a great resurrection pill. If things get really bad, I have friends in the Corpse-Driving Sect. ”

He then pushed open the door without giving Ji Zhi an opportunity to escape.

“Your heart is as black as the bottom of a furnace!” Ji Zhi cursed before he saw Jiang Li stroll in, smiling, and then shut the door.

If they were in the territory of Great Zhou, he might be confident enough to deal with Jiang Li, but in the Dao sect…

“Don’t hit my face!” “Fair enough.”

After a one-sided and intense face-off, Jiang Li, refreshed and invigorated, left the Artifact Refinement Peak. He went to Alchemy Peak with the Saintess of Pure Heart to visit the Chief of Dan Refining Peak, who evidently had no intention of finding any pill.

Several days later, the long-anticipated Immortal Artifact exhibition of all the forces finally arrived.

Although it was called an exhibition, it was essentially a competition.

The Human Emperor’s Palace, six major sects, nine empires, and four seas; all these forces sent representatives to sit in the stands. Of course, some forces didn’t have anyone to send, such as the Great Wei Empire.

Behind these people was a temporarily constructed high platform. On top of the platform was a seal that emitted a faint glow, with Yin and Yang fishes rotating and biting each others’ tails at the back.

Many people saw the Yin Yang Heaven Seal for the first time. They felt that this seal was as vast as heaven and earth, unfathomably deep, containing the forces that could shatter the heavens. It also felt as though it was the cause of all things and the result of all causes, as if all cause and effect were condensed onto this seal.

They even felt that they were destined to possess this seal, as though their fate was intertwined with it.

If it were not for the multitude of influential figures sitting on the stage, some people might be tempted to fight for possession of the seal.

This was the power of the Yin Yang Heaven Seal, which could not only enliven all things but also launch causal attacks, leaving people defenseless.

The Old Man of Everlasting Existence once said that even in the Immortal Realm, the Yin Yang Heaven Seal was an extraordinary immortal artifact.

The arena was set up in the sky instead of the ground because those at the Body Integration Realm were battling with their immortal artifacts, and the effects were widespread. If it were on the ground, their movements would be restricted.

The Dao Sect set up a defensive formation above everyone’s heads to block the residual waves of the fight..
