Chapter 386: 385
Bureau Chief Shao solemnly thanked Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu. If it weren’t for these two godly beings, his Biluhai branch office would have been the disgrace of the Super Power User Management Bureau and a stepping stone for the Super Power Church.
At the same time, he was secretly alarmed. The methods these two used seemed like superpowers, but they were stronger than any superpowers.
They transformed themselves into millions of beings, each one incredibly powerful, their swords transforming into energy, splitting into thousands of threads, capable of cutting through any superpower.
Intuition told Bureau Chief Shao that these were nothing more than a fraction of their capabilities, the tip of the iceberg.
“The Biluhai branch has nothing to repay you with, please accept these few tons of gold.”
Behind Bureau Chief Shao stood a mountain of gold.
He used his superpower of turning stone to gold to create gold and wanted to gift it to the two of them.
“If we can’t repay, we won’t repay. We didn’t act for the sake of some metals.” Bai Hongtu seemed casual, not to mention gold or silver, even all kinds of spirit stones did not pique their interest.
In their eyes, gold and silver were merely common metals.
The hard currency of the Zhou empire was the spirit stone.
Moreover, turning stone to gold was merely changing the properties of matter, who wouldn’t know how to do that?
Bai Hongtu could also turn gold into silver, mud into clean water, cloth into metal.
“Would you please come to the office for a chat?”
“Sure.”
“You two should step aside for a bit.” Bureau Chief Shao asked his daughter and Peng Lianghai to leave.
“There’s no need, we’re not trying to hide anything. We’ve always been honest and never lied.” Jiang Li smiled, he acted openly and honestly, had a clear conscience, and was never afraid of others knowing his actions.
Bai Hongtu nodded. He was that kind of person too.
Peng Lianghai was astonished: “Are you really only eighteen years old?”
Jiang Li:
Bai Hongtu:
“You must be talking about your mental age.” Seeing the two men’s expressions, Bureau Chief Shao understood that their actual ages were far beyond this. He quickly smoothed things over.
Jiang Li glared at Bai Hongtu, blaming him for fooling around and making up their ages before.
Bai Hongtu turned his head away and avoided looking at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li cleared his throat: “Although there were some jokes involved in what we said before, the essence was not different.”
“When I introduced myself before, I said that my power was unbeatable, which is not quite accurate. To be precise, I have not yet met anyone who can beat me.”
“… Isn’t that unbeatable?” Shao Junyi commented.
“When old Bai introduced himself, he said his power was cultivation. That’s not wrong either. Both of us are cultivators.”
“You are really cultivators?!” Despite having mentally prepared themselves, the confirmation from him personally was different.
“Let me formally introduce myself. I come from the world of Zhou. I am the Human Emperor of the Nine Prefectures and a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm, Jiang Li.”
“He also comes from the world of Zhou. He is the Sect Master of the Dao Sect, a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, Bai Hongtu.”
“As I mentioned before, the path of cultivation is divided into several levels. From low to high, they are Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Fusion, Crossing Tribulation, Ascension or Mahayana.”
“I was strolling the Void and accidentally discovered your world. I apologize for not announcing my arrival.”
“Not at all”, Bureau Chief Shao got up, unwilling to accept Jiang Li’s apology.
The ancient books record that those with the superpower of the Thousand-Mile Eye can see other worlds beyond this one. That ancient super power user said there was not just one world, and between worlds, there was a Void. The storm of the Void is violent and fierce, and even a little bit leaking into the Wei Gu world, even the legendary sixth or seventh level super power users would not be able to withstand.
That would be a disaster.
This man named Jiang Li can travel the Void. His power has surpassed Bureau Chief Shao’s imagination.
For someone like him to enter without announcement, it’s just him being polite to the Bureau Chief. Does he assume the Bureau Chief would even be able to hear him?
Bureau Chief Shao was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He tried his best to imagine the strength of the two men, but in the end, he found his imagination to be limited and not keeping up with reality.
Bureau Chief Shao saw his daughter and Peng Lianghai in a daze, unaware of the meaning in Jiang Li’s words, and so he explained to them what are other worlds, and what is the Void.
As soon as Shao Junyi and Peng Lianghai understood, they too were left dumbfounded, and Bureau Chief Shao finally felt balanced.
Actually, Bureau Chief Shao’s understanding was very superficial, and what he said was full of loopholes. There were so many that Jiang Li did not want to correct one by one, and simply told them from the beginning about the concepts of cultivation, Zhou, the Immortal Realm, Ascension, and other concepts that everyone in the world of Zhou knows.
After all, hearing this, Bai Hongtu couldn’t help but yawn.
These are all concepts he learned in his enlightenment period.
The Bureau Chief and the other two were very interested in listening, the content of Jiang Li’s narration was like a myth and legend, but now, someone was saying that myths and legends were all real.
The man who was speaking was the biggest mythical legend himself.
Compared with the cultivators of the Zhou world, their super power users seemed… too peculiar?
Bureau Chief Shao didn’t know how to describe it.
It could be seen from the battle between the Super Power Church and Biluhai Division this time, their flashy superpowers clashed a lot, but what they produced wasn’t power, but rather things that made people both laugh and cry.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu had different thoughts from Bureau Chief Shao. While superpowers may not be very powerful, the principles behind them are not to be overlooked.
For example, the superpower that ruined the relationship with women involves the power of causality. It’s extremely high-end, and not many people in Zhou have it.
“By the way, I have something to ask Bureau Chief Shao for.”
“Mr. Jiang, please feel free to ask. If it’s within my power, I’ll certainly help. No, even if it’s beyond my power, I’ll use my connections to help.”
“It’s not something that serious, I just heard that there is a small statue of the Three-Eyed True God in the storage room of Biluhai Division. Can it be given to me?”
What is stored in Biluhai Division’s storage room are all secret files, mysterious items, things affected by superpowers, etc. The level of secrecy is very high, it requires the permission of at least three high-level officials to enter.
Jiang Li saw it with his divine sense.
Seeing Bureau Chief Shao start to look nervous, Jiang Li reassured him: “Don’t worry, Bureau Chief Shao, I am not a member of the Super Power Church, nor will I join the Super Power Church. I am just interested in the statue of the Three-Eyed True God.”
With that being said, Bureau Chief Shao could only take out the statue of the Three-Eyed True God.
“This item is given to Mr. Jiang.”
“Thank you.”
Bai Hongtu didn’t understand why Jiang Li wanted this thing. It was not attractive at all.
To be a symbol of faith, the statue certainly didn’t look bad. Bai Hongtu was just prejudiced against the Three-Eyed True God, he did not think it looked like a god and believed it was merely a fabrication by the people.
What’s this about three eyes looking into the past, present, and future? The ancestor Emperor Shun of Da Zhou could see that with just two eyes, why need a third one?
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu thought the same, but they had the Respected God-hidden as a reference, so he had to try for himself.
Jiang Li tapped the statue lightly with the force used to tap an egg, a piece of the statue’s paint fell off instantly.
Jiang Li added a bit more force and the statue crumbled into dust.
Okay, Jiang Li could confirm this Three-Eyed True God did not exist, and even if it did, it was not anything significant.
