Jiang Li floated above Qingcheng, his hands clasped behind his head, mulling over Jiang Yixing’s words.

“If only the old Ji could trace back to three hundred and eighty years ago, sadly, even if his life span is exhausted, he can’t trace that far back.”

Thinking about this, Jiang Li curled his lips. Old Ji was good at everything. As an emperor, he was diligent, loved the people, was just, revered the law, and as a friend, he was loyal. But as a cultivator, he was reluctant to practise, wasting the talent of having double-pupils.

You should know that having double pupils was a symbol only the founding emperor, Emperor Shun, had, most suited for cultivating the Dao of Time.

It’s said that Emperor Shun was originally a fish in the river of time, who, by some serendipity, leapt out of the river and transformed into a human form in Kyushu, thus founding the Great Zhou that lasted for ten thousand years.

Therefore, the descendants of Great Zhou are naturally close to the Dao of Time.

Jiang Li also learned the Dao of Time and found that it purely relied on enlightenment, something he couldn’t learn.

“That’s why, comrade Ji, you need to practice hard.” Jiang Li murmured to himself.

He pulled out a long, narrow yellow paper, with ancient characters drawn on it with cinnabar. This was the Remote Communication Talisman written by Dao Sect. As long as you’re in Kyushu, no matter the distance, you can make contact.

Regrettably, the production of the Remote Communication Talisman was difficult. It required the Daoist Sect Elder to invest months of painstaking labour to write it. Hence, even the Dao Sect itself didn’t have enough to use, let alone sell to others. As he had a good relationship with the Imperial Palace, Jiang Li only had a few papers on hand. He kept one for himself and sent the rest to the leader of the Imperial Palace.

“Calling the Commanding Officer of the Imperial Palace, Zhang Konghu.”

The Remote Communication Talisman flickered slightly, connecting with the other side, and soon a burly figure shadow occupied half of Jiang Li’s vision.

“Brother Jiang, I was just thinking about contacting you, something major has happened!”

Zhang Konghu’s big face was close to Jiang Li, who instinctively slapped it away, and the shadow quickly reformed into Zhang Konghu’s figure.

Zhang Konghu was a sturdy man with a somewhat dark complexion. His two robust flower arms seemed to support the heavens, his strength comparable to that of transformed beasts like black bears, wild pigs, elephants, etc. Born from a witch clan, he had profound knowledge in body cultivation. It is said that he secretly helped in the writing of the “Strength of the Human Emperor Jiang Li” by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

However, this strong man now looked quite miserable. His face was marred by vivid purple bruises, and his arms, calves, etc., any place exposed was also bruised. Judging by his posture, he probably had several broken bones.

Jiang Li was taken aback, he knew how extraordinary Zhang Konghu’s physique was. This was a tough guy who could stand up to Transcendance Tribulation Stage with just his physical body. In Kyushu, the number of people who could hurt him like this could be counted on two hands.

He tentatively asked, “Did you quarrel with your wife again?”

“No.”

“Was there an invasion by a Heavenly Demon?”

“No.”

“Were you asking Mount Sumeru’s Old Buddha to eat pork stewed noodles?”

“No.”

“Then…”

“Brother Jiang, stop guessing. You only ever won the fourth prize in a lottery. I don’t need to say more about your luck.”

“Oh, go on then.”

“A beautiful girl is about to start fighting!”

“Hmm?” Jiang Li was confused, how is this a major event?

“A few years ago, Dream River Emperor brought a concubine into his Golden House and didn’t let outsiders see her. He himself didn’t attend to state affairs and stayed in the Golden House. You know all this, Brother Jiang.”

Jiang Li did indeed heard about it. The Dream River Emperor was sunk in his lust for beauty and ignored state affairs, resulting in chaos in the Dream River Dynasty’s court, with the ordinary people’s livelihood in ruins. However, this is quite common. After all, some emperors are so absorbed in their cultivation that they isolate themselves for decades, which is even worse than the Dream River Emperor. This situation is not within the jurisdiction of the Imperial Palace.

If the Imperial Palace intervened every time an emperor was neglectful of politics, then their scope would be too broad, and they might as well just unify Kyushu.

Therefore, Jiang Li only had a rough impression of this matter and did not pay much attention.

“It is said that the Dream River Emperor did not engage in marital affairs with that concubine but merely watched her.”

“Emperor Wei of the Great Wei Dynasty was very close to the Dream River Emperor. After he emerged from seclusion, he went to the Golden House to see the Dream River Emperor and see how beautiful this new concubine was to make the Dream River Emperor so engaged. The Dream River Emperor granted his request. But who could’ve thought that a casual look would lead to trouble.”

“Everyone knows that Emperor Wei is fond of beauties, but I could never have imagined, Emperor Wei actually asked the Dream River Emperor to give his concubine to him. He even offered the Dream River Emperor to pick any spirit stone, cultivation technique, or land as an exchange.”

“Naturally, the Dream River Emperor was unwilling, the two of them started quarrelling and eventually even started fighting, collapsing half of the Dream River Emperor’s palace.”

“And that’s not even the end of it. Emperor Wei still wanted that concubine, and the Dream River Emperor said it was impossible. Emperor Wei challenged him to settle it on the battlefield, Dream River Emperor agreed. In the end, they both decided to fight to the death on the battlefield.”

“… ”

So this is what you meant by “a beautiful girl is about to start fighting?”

You’ve summarized it pretty well, giving both the reasons and the results.

Jiang Li considered whether to pay for a private teacher for Zhang Konghu out of his own pocket.

But if two empires were about to go to war, it was indeed a big deal. Especially since both emperors would conduct personal expeditions, which was an extraordinary event, and they would definitely lead armies of a million or even more.

And this million-strong army was not like the ancient mundane army of millions in Jiang Li’s previous life, where they declared victory after battling, without affecting the innocent. This was an army composed of a million Qi cultivators, tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and thousands of Golden Core Stage cultivators. As for those who achieved the Nascent Soul or higher, there probably won’t be few.

According to Jiang Li’s estimate, a fully charged Qi attack from a Sixth-Level Qi Cultivator would be comparable to a bullet. A Golden Core Stage’s burst of power could be on par with a battle-axe missile. In other words, if this million-strong army starts fighting, it would be equivalent to World War II in his previous world. The scope of the battlefield purely depends on how they perform in the field. It is very likely that they could reach the territories of other empires or sects. The chain reaction might even result in a Kyushu-wide war.

Not to mention that this one-million-strong Army could form large array formations, which even Transcendance Tribulation old freaks would have to avoid. The only one who dared to assure that a single person could beat a million-strong army might be Jiang Li alone.

Jiang Li had already made up his mind in his heart. If he could, he would mediate and if he couldn’t, he would have to force peace through force.

He hoped that Emperor Wei and the Dream River Emperor could understand.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt slightly at ease. If it was switched to any other Human Emperor, they would have been worried for a while. They did not have the confidence to defeat the armies of two dynasties.

However, Jiang Li, as the strongest Human Emperor and currently the only Mahayana Realm cultivator in Kyushu, preventing a war between two empires was not a difficult task. The difficulty lies in how much effort he would have to exert.

“Then, how did you get this injury? Who hit you?”

“This is the problem, Brother Jiang. As you know, one of our duties as officers of the Imperial Palace is to maintain the overall stability of Kyushu. After knowing about the duel agreement between Emperor Wei and the Dream River Emperor, I immediately rushed to the Dream River Emperor to mediate, but to my surprise, when I saw that concubine, my soul was entirely captivated by her. She was genuinely beautiful, exquisite as a Heavenly Immortal, no, even the fairies are not as beautiful as her!”

“At that moment, I wanted to snatch that concubine. My body almost lost control.”

“In my desperation, I had no other choice but to beat myself up, using the pain to sober up.”
