The Heavenly Demon that had been severely injured by Long Eyebrow quickly died, and the other one was also killed by the collective attack of Tribulation Crossing Cultivators.

Yuan Shang led his men to reinforce Changcun Xianweng, killing the last Heavenly Demon.

Thus, the three Heavenly Demons that had descended on the Nine Provinces were all dead.

In this battle, the little monk broke through the mystery of crossing tribulation and advanced to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, becoming the new ruler of Mount Sumeru, also known as Sumeru Buddha.

After the battle, Yuan Shang did not feel much joy, but more of a sense of melancholy.

He seemed to realize that the help from the Immortal Realm might never come, and it is not a lasting strategy to always wait for the Immortal Realm or rely on Changcun Xianweng.

Yuan Shang found the rudiment of the earth’s pulse. Although it had been matured by Long Eyebrow once before, it was not enough.

Next time when the Heavenly Demon descends, he, empowered by the faith, would undoubtedly be the first to rush up.

But what then? If he died in battle, would they have to hastily select another person to receive the power of faith?

There is too much uncertainty in this. It would be better to choose in advance.

After some discussions with Changcun Xianweng and others, Yuan Shang began to transform the rudiment of the earth’s pulse.

Mainly, Yuan Shang, who possessed the power of faith, was in charge of transforming the rudiment, while others were responsible for giving suggestions.

“This river, formed by the faith of sentient beings, flows throughout the Nine Provinces, can be called the Earth’s Pulse.”

“The Earth’s Pulse represents the will of all beings, they hope that someone can raise the banner of the Nine Provinces when the Heavenly Demons descend, then the Earth’s Pulse should serve this function.”

“The Earth’s Pulse is the aggregate of the will of all beings. On the other hand, it can also sense the thoughts of each individual.”

“The Earth’s Pulse can select those who are willing to dedicate themselves to the Nine Provinces and mobilize the power of the Nine Provinces, allowing various opportunities to come to these people, accelerating their growth. I will also guide them on the side to prevent them from going astray.”

“Once they grow up, another selection will take place. The person with the highest talent and strongest combat power will replace me and guard the Nine Provinces.”

“It is uncertain when the Immortal Realm will appear. Xianweng’s power is limited and cannot be used casually. He can be regarded as the last line of defense in the Nine Provinces. The peach tree of Red Dust Nirvana never takes the initiative to attack, so it can’t be relied on.”

“The only ones we can count on are us Tribulation Crossing Cultivators, and the next generation of cultivators.”

“If possible, I really hope that successors can break through the Tribulation Crossing Stage and reach the legendary Mahayana Realm mentioned by Xianweng.”

“The Mahayana Realm, capable of fighting a Heavenly Immortal for thirty moves without dying, will certainly protect the Nine Provinces.”

“I hope that there will be no distinction between the righteous and the demonic in Nine Provinces in the future, and everyone can work together to resist the Heavenly Demons.”

“…My thoughts seem to be changing quietly. My way of thinking has always started from the Mysterious Heaven Sect, trying to resist the demonic path and protect the people.”

“Now, I have blurred my sense of identification with the Mysterious Heaven Sect. My thinking is enhancing, transcending the boundaries of the dynasty and the sect, and solely focused on the Nine Provinces.”

“Is this the true right path?”

“Did I truly comprehend this after the battle, or is it because the power of faith can not only enhance my strength but also change my heart?”

“No, it doesn’t matter anymore. The most important thing now is to improve the Earth’s Pulse and save the Nine Provinces.”

…

“Emperor Jiang, do you want to continue watching?” Emperor Shun asked Jiang Li as he detached himself from the River of Time.

“Let’s go back.”

Jiang Li chose not to continue watching. The series of terms such as Human Emperor, Imperial Palace, Candidates for Emperor, were not formed at this time, but over the past hundreds of years, several people who succeeded Yuan Shang started to propose to refer to them as the “Human Emperor.”

He had looked at one hundred and thirty years of history, and had already resolved many questions. The remaining questions were not visible through only history. It would be useless to continue watching.

“I heard that after you established the Zhou Dynasty, you ascended the ladder and went to the Immortal Realm, didn’t you?”

Jiang Li was curious. Emperor Shun was a strange person. He had unexpectedly established the Zhou Dynasty, which was governed by law. Everyone saw him ascend the ladder to immortality. According to the people who later went to the Immortal Realm, they did not see Emperor Shun there, but only heard some rumors about his mysterious appearances and disappearances.

People said that after Emperor Shun became an immortal, he understood more about the path of time, and he was both in the Immortal Realm and in the River of Time.

“Indeed, after I became an immortal, I did reach the Immortal Realm. There are also Immortals in the Immortal Realm who are proficient in the way of time. Although his understanding of the way of time is not as good as mine, I couldn’t compete with his higher cultivation.”

“He targeted me everywhere. I didn’t really like staying in the Immortal Realm, so I just returned to the River of Time. I occasionally go to the Immortal Realm to show up and absorb immortal energy for cultivation.”

“Do you know the position of the Immortal Realm?”

“I only know the position of the Immortal Realm nine thousand years ago, which was before the ladder to immortality was broken. I often choose different time points to wander around the Immortal Realm and leave traces that are beyond the comprehension of Immortals. It’s quite interesting.”

“But after the ladder to immortality was broken, the sentient Heavenly Dao consciously controlled the Immortal Realm and repeatedly changed the coordinates, just like a neurotic. Even I can’t find the coordinates of the Immortal Realm now.”

“If you want to find the Immortal Realm when you return to your own era, I’m afraid you can only do so by finding Heavenly Immortal who submit to the Heavenly Dao, or the ladder to immortality.”

“What if I go back to the Immortal Realm of the past?”

Jiang Li asked while gazing at the sea of time enveloped in chaotic fog.

Emperor Shun made a bitter face: “You can, but can it be the next time?”

“Why?”

“People who do not master the path of time cannot move freely in the River of Time. Even Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals have difficulty taking a single step.”

“Although you, Jiang Human Emperor, are an unprecedented Mahayana Realm, you are not omnipotent. You are not very… proficient in the path of time.”

Jiang Li stared at Emperor Shun, Did your Ji family only know how to ostracize me using the path of time?

Emperor Shun pretended not to see Jiang Li’s gaze, and continued: “The reason you can move freely in the River of Time is entirely because you are too powerful, and the rules of the River of Time cannot limit you.”

“Can’t I just keep acting in the River of Time?”

“…Do you remember when time reversed in the Zombie World, you wanted to violate the rules and take action forcefully? As a result, the whole world almost perished in your hands.”

“The same is true for the River of Time. You stay for too long, and you will be fine, but the River of Time will suffer.”

“Although you cannot perceive the changes in the River of Time, I can. I feel that there is a trend of cracks appearing in the River of Time, which is a sign of collapse.”

“I will send you back to your original space-time first to let the River of Time recover for a while. After that, you can come back,” Emperor Shun suggested.

“Fine.”

Jiang Li remembered that the Past and Present Sword transformed into a white fish in the downstream of the River of Time had encountered him, indicating that he would enter the River of Time in the future.

Emperor Shun sigh of relief and transported Jiang Li back to the Nine Provinces nine thousand years later.
