Chapter 432: Chapter 431: Topic

The Great Confucian Word Post also found the show boring, so it tore a page from its own body, folded it into a small boat, and played with it.

“Is it fun to play with your own body?” Jiang Li curiously asked as he watched the Great Confucian Word Post enjoying its little game.

“What’s the difference between me playing with my paper and you humans twiddling your fingers and toes when you’re bored?” it retorted.

Jiang Li felt his thinking was still too narrow, unable to see things from the Great Confucian Word Post’s perspective.

He needed to reflect.

“Can I ask a favor of the Human Emperor?” The Great Confucian Word Post tucked the boat-sized page back, asking seriously.

“What is it?”

“Do you remember when Tian Yin initiated us, Brother Vantiantower created a spatial passage to send us, the several Immortal Artifacts, to different worlds, and you, Emperor, using your wondrous spatial techniques, dragged us back?”

“Yes, I do.” Jiang Li recalled that he had used the system store to buy back all the Immortal Artifacts.

That was the system’s most glorious moment.

“I heard that the Extraterritorial Demons want to destroy all the worlds. At the time, I was unaware of this. When I saw the world I traveled to at peace, I didn’t think much of it. Now I wonder if there’s a hidden move by the Extraterritorial Demons that I didn’t notice.”

Jiang Li’s expression turned serious. After bringing the Vantiantower back, a series of events occurred which made him forget about the four unknown realms that he hadn’t visited yet.

These four realms couldn’t have escaped the Immortal Realm’s plot.

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin, hearing this, also remembered the four unknown realms.

Looking at each other, all three saw the regret in each other’s eyes.

“It’s normal for the Emperor, with all his responsibilities, to forget. But you guys shouldn’t worry. We discussed our cross-world experiences during our Immortal Artifacts gathering. Those worlds are still relatively peaceful and not as tragic as in the Ming Zhong World.”

The three were silent, not only considering these few worlds, but also the countless worlds surrounded by the Immortal Realm’s plot.

They decided to help any world they could.

After the performance ended, Jiang Li called on all the representatives who had partaken in the event.

“I’ll be convening a conference in the Imperial Palace in ten days to discuss matters related to other realms. I will send someone to inform you all of the specific agenda.”

The participating representatives felt a chill, having not expected a Jiuzhou conference to be called again. This was no small matter.

The last Jiuzhou conference was about the residual issues the Celestial Level Extraterritorial Devils had left in Jiuzhou. After that conference, they no longer had to worry about attacks from the Extraterritorial Devils. Various ideas and competitions had arisen, producing cultivation techniques and methods that they had never even thought of before.

Jiuzhou had truly entered a new era.

That conference could even be said to have made history.

They wondered what they would be discussing now.

Suppressing their various thoughts, they all answered in unison:

“Yes.”

Jiang Li then contacted the leader of the tree spirits, Liu, using his Remote Communication Talisman.

“Liu, we’re holding a Jiuzhou conference ten days from now. Prepare for it and tell your guardians to notify all forces with practitioners at the Body Integration Stage.”

Liu was startled: “This is so sudden, what’s the agenda?”

“The topic is how to deal with the relationship between the Jiuzhou World and the Ten Thousand Realms. More precisely, how to use Jiuzhou’s power to help those worlds that are slowly dying.”

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin looked unsurprised. When they heard the Great Confucian Word Post express its desire to go to other worlds and Jiang Li’s subsequent announcement of the Jiuzhou conference, they could guess what Jiang Li planned to do.

After discussing some matters with Liu, Jiang Li put away the Remote Communication Talisman.

The Great Confucian Word Post also understood the weight of the Jiuzhou conference. It didn’t expect that its casual comment would prompt Jiang Li to convene the Jiuzhou conference: “Emperor, isn’t this overkill? We’re just going back to check things out. If we find traces of the Extraterritorial Demons’ plots, we should be capable of handling it ourselves.”

Jiang Li shook his head: “Actually, I’ve been thinking about this since I encountered the Ming Zhong World. I just never found the right opportunity. With all the recent events, I felt it was time to tackle this issue, and your matter was just a trigger.”

“If we’re going to resolve the problems the Extraterritorial Demons have left in the Ten Thousand Realms, then just relying on you few Immortal Artifacts might not be enough. You can only use things related to your own laws. You’re more flexible, but like Mount Heshan and the Dragon Ball, their characteristics are guaranteed hits and unbeatable defense, both combat skills which are useless in other worlds.”

“Not to mention, you Immortal Artifacts are unique, even divine senses can’t be mobilized in your presence. So how can you detect the plots of the Extraterritorial Demons?”

“Don’t worry, for Jiuzhou this is not a burden. If I’m not mistaken, many forces in Jiuzhou would be willing to lend their powers and help.”

The Great Confucian Word Post relaxed.

Jiang Li omitted to mention that his initial plan was to complete all the system tasks, assemble the stairway to immortality, ascend to the Immortal Realm, find a group of like-minded immortals and save the Ten Thousand Realms together.

After all, traversing worlds, crossing the Void, dealing with the Extraterritorial Demons’ issues, the stronger the better.

Jiang Li thought that even in the ruthless Immortal World, there should be a few exceptions such as the righteous old immortal.

But it seems like it’s not feasible now. The Extraterritorial Demons are immortals themselves, so there’s no hope of the Immortal Realm saving people. As things are developing, Jiuzhou might even have to start a war with the Immortal Realm.

It’s better to rely on Jiuzhou to save the Ten Thousand Realms.

With everything ready and the time ripe, it is time.

Jiang Li called over Xia Chao and Little Green, then mentioned the Jiuzhou conference.

“This conference also involves your worlds. Little Green, as the King of Lingxi World, you will be the Lingxi World’s representative at the Jiuzhou conference.

“Yes.”

“Luo Ying and Luo Zhu from the zombie world are easily contacted. So is Yu Feng from the Ancient World.”

“The same goes for Ming Zhong. Now you can see a lot of tech products in the Jiuzhou world, all bought from the Ming Zhong World.”

“So, there’s only Ring Universe left.”

Jiang Li did some thinking. Among the worlds he had visited, only the Ring Universe was yet to be checked on.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings had tampered with the history of the Ring Universe. Bu Jing, the pinnacle figure of martial arts, enlightened the “Yellow Emperor’s Canon of the Outer Landscape” reaching the realm of the Outer Landscape, which was equivalent to Divinity Transformation Stage.

Jiang Li hoped Bu Jing would temporarily avoid immortality and focus on martial arts. If he could take it a step further, break through the Outer Landscape, achieve a higher realm, and establish a complete martial arts system, he wouldn’t be assimilated by the path of immortality when exposed to Jiuzhou.

The path of immortality is more tempting to people than the scriptures of Confucian or Buddhist teachings. It directly reflects the Great Dao of longevity. If martial arts and immortality are put together, there are definitely more people choosing to cultivate immortality than to practice martial arts.

Jiang Li was afraid that Bu Jing might waver and change his ways, waste his martial arts talent and opt for cultivation.

Cultivation accepts existing achievements, which is far simpler than the painstaking reflection it takes to create new realms of martial arts.

“So many years have passed, I don’t know how the Ring Universe world is doing, and what stage Bu Jing has reached in his enlightenment.”

“Are you two going?” Jiang Li turned and asked Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin. They had visited the Ring Universe world together in the past.

“Of course we are.”
