Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Humans and Fairies, Earth and Sky

Translator: 549690339

No one has ever counted how many planets there are in a world, but there are surely trillions of them.

It is truly horrifying to imagine that Jiang Li could make such a vast number of planets evaporate into thin air, refining them all into a tombstone as tall as the sky with just a clap of his hands.

The density of the tombstone was also paradoxical. Logically, such a terrifying density would be enough to make space collapse into a black hole, but Jiang Li forcefully incorporated the stars into the tombstone in an inexplicable manner.

This was a move which exceeded the capabilities of the transcendence tribulation stage. Only celestial beings of immortal level could achieve this, and moreover, only the immortals who had made great strides in the way of immortality.

At least, earth immortals could not accomplish this.

Bai Hongtu realized that Jiang Li had never used his full strength since breaking through to the Mahayana Realm.

Perhaps even when the immortal artifact went berserk and he decisively wielded the Sky Desolate Halberd to suppress it, that too was not his full strength.

With the best cultivation status and the best weapons, but without the best opponent, Jiang Li’s heart must be lonely.

Perhaps this is why Jiang Li wants to go the Immortal Realm. Any world can’t withstand all of Jiang Li’s cultivation. It’s heard that after time reversed in the zombie world, people from other realms couldn’t interfere there. Jiang Li forcefully interfered, almost shattering the entire world.

Once, Bai Hongtu asked the Immortal Elder if it was possible for him to do this.

The Immortal Elder said that it was impossible at the transcendence tribulation stage: only immortals, including those like Mahayana, who were on par with the world’s rank, could influence the world.

Only the Immortal Realm, which is above countless worlds, could allow Jiang Li to fight freely, becoming the Mahayana stage that is harder to achieve than immortality, theoretically on the same level as Earth Immortals, but making Heavenly Demons of the Heavenly Immortal class fearful, making people unreachable. Bai Hongtu sighed in admiration.

However, this was followed by doubts. This is what Bai Hongtu could never understand. Jiang Li’s strength exceeded the range that the Nine Provinces World could nourish. Perhaps even if all the spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces was given to Jiang Li, it would only forge such a great cultivator of the Immortal Way.

However, the spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces has not diminished at all in these five hundred years.

Perhaps it was related to Jiang Li’s infinite Taoist body, Bai Hongtu guessed.

The four returned to the Nine Provinces, all in a gloomed mood, even Immortal Elder was taciturn.

Jiang Li has been to the Ming Zhong World, the zombie world, and the Ring Universe. Even knowing that there is a foreign Heavenly Demon behind these three worlds, they don’t care much.

As long as Jiang Li is present, the schemes of the foreign Heavenly Demon will not succeed.

But now, they all realize that the schemes of the foreign Heavenly Demon have indeed succeeded. The Gray World they just visited is a prime example.

Even though they know nothing about the Gray World, when they learned that the ancestors of these gray beasts were the human race, they still felt a connection and shared in the sorrow of their fate.

In retrospect, although the plots of the foreign Heavenly Demon in these three worlds had indeed not succeeded under Jiang Li’s intervention, the human race could only be considered as having narrowly won.

The Ming Zhong World was invaded by fierce beasts, and they had no idea how many people died under the claws of the beasts. Ming Zhong and the others even had to develop technology to resist the beasts and were forced to give up their emotions.

The outcome in the zombie world was even worse. Only Luo Ying’s planet was spared. All the human races on the other dozens of planets were turned into zombies.

Many people died in the Ring Universe as well, so much so that people firmly believe in the fabricated history.

“The Immortal Realm is really heartless, watching the worlds under it suffer such calamities without being moved!” Bai Hongtu burst into a rage, “Jiang Li, if you enter the Immortal realm, must teach those arrogant bastards a lesson for me.”

“Teach them on my behalf too.” Yu Yin’s voice was cold, but there was anger in it as well.

Although they were not the Human Emperor, both of them had been candidates for it. The foremost criterion to becoming a candidate for the Human Emperor was a deep concern for the human race, otherwise the selection of the Nine Provinces’ Earth Veins would be pointless. If it purely depended on strength, the cultivators of the Nine Provinces could have directly fought it out in a contest to see who would be the Human Emperor.

Although Bai Hongtu always laughs and jokes, and Yu Yin is decisive in his killing, both of them have a heart dedicated to the human race.

They can’t understand, nor can they comprehend the indifferent Immortal Realm that the Immortal Elder speaks of.

Struggling for power, ruthless and indifferent, pursuing the Heavenly Dao, pursuing longevity, what’s the point of living like this?

The Immortal Elder was silent, his eyes empty. After a long time, he sighed,

“Yeah, the Immortal Realm is such a world.”

“Humans belong to the earth, immortals belong to the heavens. The earth immortals have the body, mind, and power of an Immortal, but they still possess an ‘earth’ character, and are not truly indifferent.”

“Heavenly immortals contain a ‘heaven’ character. What is the meaning of the character ‘heaven’? It refers to the Heavenly Dao. A Heavenly Immortal is an Immortal who tirelessly pursues the Heavenly Dao.”

“The Immortal, is not human…”

The Immortal Elder was full of sentiments, but all the three could hear was the indifferent Immortal.

The Immortal Elder’s words were new to the trio. They only knew about the earth immortal and the heavenly immortal, but didn’t know the implications behind the ranks. The Immortal Elder probably thought it would be a blow to their pursuit of the immortal path, which is why he refrained from telling

tnem.

Today, having witnessed the destruction of a world and having felt influenced by this, he started talking about humans and immortals, earth and heaven.

“Jiang Li, I’m partially saying all this for you,” the Immortal Elder looked at Jiang Li. “Your talent and temperament are the best I’ve ever seen. Even among the immortals of the Ziwei Realm, not many have reached the Mahayana stage before becoming immortals. Your Mahayana stage comprises of an existence as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Even if you don’t become an immortal, there will be a place for you in the Immortal Realm.”

“Although I don’t recommend you going to the Immortal Realm, since you have managed to find fragments of the ladder to immortality, it proves that the trend is in your favor. You perhaps can go to the Immortal Realm.”

“But remember, there are always those who are stronger, immortals beyond immortals. You mustn’t presume that your hot-blooded courage is enough, that you can be a hero, righting wrongs in the Immortal Realm. Indifference is the mainstream in the Immortal Realm, the inevitable end of the immortal path. The end of the immortal path is the Heavenly Dao. You alone cannot contend with the entire Immortal Realm.”

Jiang Li unusually didn’t say anything.

When Jiang Li was still in the Golden Core Stage, the Immortal Elder had already met him. After spending five hundred years together, how could the Immortal Elder not know what Jiang Li’s silence meant?

Not speaking, because refusing to speak would make both sides lose face.

Silence is the biggest rebuttal to oneself.

“The power of the Immortal Realm exceeds your imagination… Forget it, it’s all up to you. You’ve grown up, you have your own judgment, I shouldn’t try to forcibly change your mind.” Halfway through his speech, the Immortal Elder saw the determined look on Jiang Li’s face, and gently shook his head. He changed his mind, no longer trying to dissuade Jiang Li. Instead, he went to the Sealing Self Cave behind Dao Sect, and found solace in books.

He couldn’t persuade Jiang Li.

Under the dim light, flipping through the pages of an ancient book, the Immortal Elder was reading a book he used to enjoy, but he was preoccupied, and he couldn’t see a single word on the pages.

What was on his mind was everything that happened today, which made him inexplicably agitated.

The line between life and death, grand ambitions, things that the Foreign

Heavenly Demons fear…

“Foreign Heavenly Demons, immortals, huh…”

Remembering Jiang Li’s stubborn expression again, the Immortal Elder sighed and said:

“Jiang Li, why don’t you listen to good advice, why would I harm you?”
