Chapter 209: Chapter 208: ‘The Domineering Mahayana Falls in Love with Me

“Esteemed Dao friend, my surname is Meng, I am the dean of the academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family. I have a fondness for collecting things related to the Human Emperor Jiang. I wonder if you would be willing to part with this book and let me have it?”

“Although, Mister Meng may not have the same financial resources as you, Dao friend, I do possess quite a lot of items related to the Human Emperor Jiang. I noticed that you too, are an admirer of Human Emperor Jiang’s elegance. If you’d part with it, everything in Mister Meng’s collection could belong to you.”

After Jiang Li taught a group of Aristocratic Disciples a lesson, Dean Meng and the King Change hurriedly came over.

They had originally planned to assist Jiang Li in a time of danger, to rescue him, to owe him a favor, and facilitate further transactions in the future.

But who would have anticipated that this relatively unknown Daoist friend would be so terrifyingly powerful, more likely than not, a god-transformation stage cultivator.

“Dao friend, I am Confucius Traveler King Change. If you’re willing to sell this book to me, I can recommend you to become an elder in the Confucian scripture. How about it?”

Jiang Li simply couldn’t agree to their demands and promptly flew away from that location.

“Dao friend, if you find conditions unsatisfactory you can propose others!” the dean, Meng, and King Change yelled out from behind, but Jiang Li flew too quickly. They soon lost sight of him and with regret, they had no other choice but to give up.

[Issuing task compensation, Swordsmanship ‘Cloud Piercing Sunlight’]

Jiang Li skimmed through, this indeed was an extremely formidable swordsmanship. This set of techniques when practiced to the extreme, can unleash a sword strike that parts the clouds to reveal the sunlight.

You must know, even Jiang Li needs to employ a single thought in order to achieve this kind of state.

One sword strike equivalent to Jiang Li’s single thought, that itself was already incredible.

[Issuing task compensation, A set of Body Integration Realm cultivator enlightenment]

The faded yellow paper recorded the enlightenment of a Body Integration

Realm cultivator’s transition from a Golden Core Stage to entering a Nascent Soul Stage. Perhaps in the system’s opinion, this is the best reward for Jiang Li who is in the late stages of the Golden Core.

“Hmm, it’s written pretty well, there are only a few minor mistakes.” Jiang Li revised this piece of paper, correcting all the misconceptions on the paper once over, then wrote a ‘B’ grade in the top right corner with a brush. To let Jiang Li grade as ‘B’ grade, it denotes just how extraordinary this enlightenment was.

As for the system rewarding one hundred supreme Spirit Stones… unless it was a system reward, even if they were discarded on the ground, Jiang Li couldn’t bother picking them up.

This time for a mandatory mission, Jiang Li felt that the system was trying to stir up trouble for him. Defeating a group of Aristocratic Disciples? Certainly, it won’t end just like this.

Clearly the situation can escalate, with beating the young ones leading to the older ones turning up. Beating the older ones will lead to the great ancestors making an appearance, causing animosity against an entire family.

Aristocratic Disciples typically have god-transformation stage ancestors in the background. The system’s real intention was to provoke enmity with god -transformation practitioners under pressure to result in quick growth.

This is a script written 500 years ago.

“Hm? Am I in the West?” Jiang Li, who’d been deep in thought the entire time, realized he had unknowingly flown to the western end of the Nine Continents, very close to the Pure Red Dust and Mount Sumeru.

Jiang Li wanted to check in on the Red Dust Fairy and see if anything new has happened, so he visited the Pure Red Dust.

“Jiang pays his respects,” Jiang Li called out in front of the Sect Protection Array.

The Sect Protection Array had an auto-repair function. Many years ago when the Daoist Xuan Ai was causing chaos, Jiang Li shattered the array with a single punch. After so long, it had completely auto-repaired itself.

The gatekeeper disciple, upon seeing it was Human Emperor Jiang, was given orders by Clear Desire Sect Leader. Her little face blushed completely red and she gladly opened the gate for Jiang Li.

“What are you looking at?”

The Pure Red Dust was far removed from worldly affairs, few people came here. The gatekeeper disciple’s duty was simple.

Jiang Li noticed that the gatekeeper disciple was holding a novel titled “Arrogant Mahayana Fell In Love With Me”.

It was an unfamiliar book, and the author’s name was not on it either.

Jiang Li suspected that it might be a new work from Teacher Sensual Desire.

The works of Teacher Sensual Desire had a wide reach, they even made it to the Pure Red Dust. It was quite impressive, Jiang Li mused. “It’s a novel. It’s very popular in the Pure Red Dust now.”

“Where did you buy it? Who is the author?”

“I don’t know, just one morning, all of us noticed a book at our bedside.”

“Human Emperor Jiang, welcome.” The sect leader Clear Desire came out to greet him.

Even though he killed her ex-boyfriend whom she had always secretly admired, Jiang Li has saved Pure Red Dust. Sect leader Clear Desire’s attitude towards Jiang Li has softened considerably.

“Oh, you don’t have to welcome me. I’m not here to see you.”

Clear Desire sect leader clenched her fists, resisting the urge to strike Jiang Li. She continuously coached herself in her mind.

He is the benefactor of Pure Red Dust, you must forgive him… He is the benefactor of Pure Red Dust, you must forgive him…

Jiang Li deliberately spoke to the sect leader Clear Desire in such a way to annoy her.

Jiang Li disapproved of sect leader Clear Desire’s actions for pursuing a younger man.

You’re an eight hundred year old woman, but Wu Zhi is only in his teens. It’s appalling that you are so brazen about trying to seduce him.

“Would you like to see Pure Heart? Then please wait a moment, she’ll come to see you soon.” sect leader Clear Desire replied with relief. She tried to think positively as much as possible. If this simple-minded man has started to understand and has come to meet her disciple, that would be fantastic.

Normally when Jiang Li visits, the Saintess Pure Heart should be the first one to greet him.

However, she wanted to present the best side of her to Jiang Li, so she was still in her room applying makeup.

“I am here to see the Red Dust Fairy to see how she has been lately and whether there have been any new changes.”

Sect leader Clear Desire was helpless in this matter. After all, she too couldn’t resist the allure of the Red Dust Fairy. She was unable to bring Jiang Li along with her.

She called upon a descendant of the Red Dust Fairy to accompany this fellow disciple to accompany Jiang Li to the place where the Peach Tree was.

After Jiang Li has gone, she visited the saintess Pure Heart herself and informed her that Jiang Li has gone to see the ancestor.

When Jiang Li, under the guidance of a disciple, found the Red Dust Fairy, she was swinging on a swing under a peach tree, letting off a crisp and appealing voice. Her bare jade feet swinging back and forth made people want to toy around with her. The pink peach petals were constantly fluttering down, as if all the beauty in the world converged on this scene.

Even the inexperienced Jiang Li had to admit that it was a beautiful sight. He secretly admired in his heart, it was worthy of being the embodiment of ‘beauty’ of the Heavenly Dao. Anyone who pursues the Heavenly Dao cannot escape this charm.

However, it wasn’t enough to make him lose his senses.

“Fairy, it has been a long time,” Jiang Li stepped forward to greet her.

When the Red Dust Fairy saw Jiang Li, she too was quite delighted, she climbed up the tree to pluck a peach and passed it to Jiang Li.

“Here, eat. This is the best thing.”

A Celestial Peach is indeed a good thing. Consuming it can improve one’s cultivation, cleanse the meridians, has no side effects, and leaves no residues in the body, making it better than any other elixirs or miracle cures.

But Jiang Li dares not accept this.

Who knows if this peach could make a man pregnant.

The peach tree was a genuine celestial tree. Anything associated with ‘celestial’ could not be considered ordinary.

“You should enjoy this yourself… wait, maybe you shouldn’t either.”

“It’s a pity this peach tree is unable to develop spiritual intelligence and transform, otherwise on the day of its transformation, it will perhaps attain immortality,” Jiang Li stroked the bark of the peach tree.

In general, living beings in the Nine Continents are divided into humans and demons. However, living beings like the Linden Leader who’s a Linden tree spirit, weren’t considered humans or demons but rather spirits.

Spirits are creatures that are nurtured by nature itself. They can’t reproduce, can’t form a ‘tribe,’and exist only as individuals.

The Linden Leader’s original body was an old Linden tree, which was not unusual in itself. Its spirit and transformation were only a result of a long life.

This peach tree, however, was different. Its celestial nature was too strong. If such a celestial object were to develop spiritual intelligence and transform, it would be too shocking and unacceptable to the Heavenly Dao. Even the Yin Yang Heaven Seal had a hard time enlightening it..
