The conference proceeded methodically, everything was as it was before.

Those who came to attend the conference were not new to cultivation. Living without sleep, food or drink was part of their daily routine. They held meetings for three consecutive days, discussing various details spiritedly until they finally agreed on a final plan.

Among the representatives present, only the Buddha child Wuzhi was in the Nascent Soul Stage. While he could manage without sleep, he still couldn’t manage absolute fasting. Influenced by Jiang Li’s past life belief of “since you’ve come, you might as well have a meal,” and in consideration for the Buddha child’s eating habits, Jiang Li ordered his subordinates to prepare some food, which catered to both vegetarians and those who avoided certain meats.

After the death of the ancient Buddha of Mount Sumeru, the Buddhist community lost its leader. The monks gathered on the summit of Mount Sumeru, holding hundreds of meditation debates. The echoes of Buddhist chanting resounded all day. In the end, Wuzhi, with his insight into the essence of Buddha, defeated all the high monks and became the new Buddhist leader.

The Buddhist leader is chosen not by his cultivation level, but by his Buddhist heart.

After three days, the Kyushu conference formulated a detailed resolution, which, theoretically speaking, can substantially eliminate the influence left by the Heavenly Demon.

However, the actual outcome will depend on the implementation efficiency of each faction, which will require Jiang Li to assign supervisors.

“Now that we’ve agreed on this, does anyone have any objections? You’re more than welcome to raise them, let’s all discuss together.” Jiang Li said. “No objections.” Bai Hongtu was the first to respond to Jiang Li. Next came a chorus of voices saying “No objections.”

Jiang Li rose to his feet, his gaze sweeping over each representative.

“Since there are no objections, please sign this agreement.”

Jiang Li took out a sheet of brown parchment and threw it onto the center of the round table. From every angle, one could clearly see the words on the paper, which were the agreement that everyone had reached. At the end of the writing there were two lines, one reading “Imperial Palace,” the other the date.

There was a large blank space at the bottom of the paper for the representatives to sign in their own blood.

The paper, called ‘Blood Pact Scroll,’ was made of grass from areas scarce in spiritual energy and was specially processed for establishing pacts, reaching agreements, and drafting laws.

Original drafts of Zhou Dynasty regulations are all written on this paper and stored in the treasury.

The Blood Pact Scroll is known for its toughness; it does not degrade even after millennia. Moreover, it is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy. Any alterations made by divine skills, or law-altering forces would leave a trace on it. This is to prevent anyone from tampering with the content.

After the representatives confirmed that the content on the paper was in line with what had been discussed, they signed the agreement.

They bit their fingers, suspended a drop of blood in the air, and wrote their names and the full name of the power they represented with their fingers as a brush. For example, Ji Zhi could not simply write “Zhou Dynasty,” but had to write “The Great Zhou Dynasty.”

Jiang Li also signed his name in blood and stamped it on the paper.

However, the Blood Pact Scroll begun to shake violently, as if it couldn’t withstand the power of a single drop of Jiang Li’s blood and quickly disintegrated.

The conference room became eerily silent. Representatives turned their eyes to Jiang Li in astonishment.

This had never happened before.

This was the Blood Pact Scroll, known for its toughness, which couldn’t even be torn by a Body Integration Realm cultivator’s full strength. Yet, it couldn’t withstand the power of a single drop of Jiang Li’s blood!

Moreover, several decades ago, when agreements were signed, Jiang Li’s blood was not this powerful.

The representatives felt a chill. Decades had passed, and Jiang Li’s cultivation had improved!

Jiang Li coughed to break the silence, not expecting that his blood would be too much for the Blood Pact Scroll to handle.

“If that’s the case, I might as well just sign normally without using blood as ink. It breaks from tradition, but there are no alternatives.”

Who among the representatives would dare to defy this, they unanimously stated “ancestral laws can be flawed,” “we must adapt to the changing times,” “the era is progressive, we have to adapt,” and other external justifications. Of course, there were also blunt statements like “you’re in charge, so you make the rules.”

The signing ceremony was repeated, and the conference was finally concluded successfully.

“If there is nothing else to discuss, you may leave now.”

Although Jiang Li was just uttering conventional words, he knew for sure that the discussions weren’t finished yet.

Unlike Dao Sect’s ostentatious Treasure Appraisal Fair, the Imperial Palace Kyushu conference was a genuine forum where various factions could get together to solve problems.

Any disputes among factions could be brought out into open and addressed in the conference. Several decades ago, the conference revolved around the establishment of the Kyushu Protective Array. After reaching a conclusion, various factions started appealing for Jiang Li to mediate, complaining about the others’ wrongdoings. At the same time, the defendants also protested to Jiang Li not to be fooled by one-sided stories. They claimed it was self-defence, as the accusers were the ones who initiated the conflict. Endless wrangling from both parties had troubled Jiang Li for quite some time.

Of course, only powerful factions with immense issues dared to confront each other on such an esteemed platform like this conference.

Nevertheless, the reconciliation was expected to take another couple of weeks.

As expected, the Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty raised a problem.

“I’m lodging a complaint with the Human Emperor. The Zhou Dynasty has won people over by granting too many rights to spiritual treasures through the new ‘Spiritual Treasure Law,’ causing many of our spiritual treasures in Yong to defect to Zhou! This has inflicted incalculable losses on Yong! We demand that Zhou apologizes and returns the spiritual treasures!” Emperor Yong Luo Zheng thundered.

“Luo Zheng, be reasonable!” slammed Ji Zhi as he banged the table. “Your contracts in Yong blatantly exploit spiritual treasures. They fled to Zhou out of desperation. Can you accuse us for having too reasonable a ‘Spiritual Treasure

It had been more than half a year since the Zhou Dynasty announced the draft of the Spiritual Treasure Law. With Ji Zhi’s excessive use of Twin Pupil, a suitable spiritual treasure law was finally adopted in the Zhou Dynasty.

The new law not only protected the rights of spiritual treasures but also enabled cultivators to use them more efficiently and securely. In the past, cultivators who pursued good quality spiritual treasures often found their own cultivation lagging behind their ambitions, but now, with the cooperation of spiritual treasures, their fighting capacity has soared exponentially. It was a win-win situation for both spiritual treasures and cultivators.

To promote the harmony between cultivators and spiritual treasures, Zhou had also organized several competitions in the name of the state to demonstrate the potential of a spiritual treasure when coordinated with its master. For instance, a Qi Cultivation Level Nine cultivator wielding an artifact, the lowest level of spiritual treasure – even a lower-grade one, could easily defeat a Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator without a spiritual treasure and fight on par with a cultivator in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Every cultivator yearned for such a leap in their fighting skills, which could be easily achieved with the help of a spiritual treasure.

In Zhou, familial spiritual treasures had emerged. A spiritual treasure and a cultivator could create a pact that the spiritual treasure could select the best of the cultivator’s progeny as the next master after the cultivator’s death.

Besides, there also existed Qi Cultivation stage cultivators who had chanced upon magic artifacts in secret realms. After acquiring consciousness, these artifacts decided to stay with the cultivators, complying with the Spiritual

Treasure Law, rather than running away. Even cultivators at Foundation

Establishment stage or Golden Core stage didn’t dare to mess with them.

After the implementation of the Spiritual Treasure Law, the Zhou Dynasty rose to immense power, inspiring great envy among other dynasties, who hurriedly followed suit..
