Although he thought their methods were somewhat brutal, they were still reasonable, the Underworld very likely wouldn’t take them back.

But judging from the appearance of these people, even if he explained it to them, the majority wouldn’t believe him. They all seemed to want to cling to the Nine Provinces instead.

Originally, Jiang Li was thinking of following the same process he had with the Ming Zhong World: exchanging information with only a small group of intellectuals first, increasing communication, then eventually expanding relations with the Nine Provinces.

Now, they had jumped straight to the third step.

Even the Ming Zhong World had only reached the second step so far.

Since their intention was to establish good relations with the Nine Provinces, Jiang Li went along with it.

“Don’t worry, I’ll draft the rules and agreements first.”

When establishing a connection between the two worlds, it was natural to have official ceremonies and documents.

“Once we formally establish diplomatic relations and create a spatial passageway, would you two siblings like to go to the Nine Provinces for further development?”

Luo Ying hesitated: “But I still need to continue teaching people how to become immortals.”

Luo Zhu, on the other hand, was more far-sighted: “Brother, once the cultivators from the Nine Provinces come over, there will naturally be private tutors coming to our world to replace your duty.”

Jiang Li nodded: “That’s right.”

Luo Ying was relieved.

The Nine Provinces offered greater opportunities. If they could go to Nine Provinces, they definitely should.

…

When Jiang Li found Ji Zhi, he had just finished his morning court assembly.

“You look exhausted. Did something happened again?”

Ji Zhi cast an envious look at the ever-energetic Jiang Li and sighed.

“We’re deciding whether we should amend the law.”

Ji Zhi took out something that looked like a helmet: “This is a holographic simulator I purchased from the Ming Zhong World. Wearing this, you can freely visualize anything you want, as if you’re inside an illusion. To prevent addiction though, you can only use it once a day for no longer than two hours.”

“Sounds good. What’s the issue?”

As exchanges between the Nine Provinces and the Ming Zhong World increased, it was becoming more common to see cultivators using various high-tech devices.

For instance, during a competition held between the Great Yong and Wuyue Dynasties, Jiang Li observed a few curious phenomena while overseeing the competition from an undisclosed location.

The competition rules prohibited the use of spiritual treasures of a higher level than the cultivator’s own. Despite this, Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators were using weapons like bazookas and grenades, which left their opponents dumbfounded.

The firepower of these weapons, which could only be blocked by those at Foundation Establishment Stage, was unleashed against opponents who were at the Qi Cultivation Stage. Naturally, they stood no chance.

Besides that, there were Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators using depleted uranium bullets, and Golden Core Stage cultivators employing mech suits… Quite flashy indeed.

“Initially, I thought there was no issue with the holographic simulator, but then a new model appeared on the market. It allows the users to imagine intimate scenarios with all sorts of beautiful women once they put it on.”

“How did the Ming Zhong World handle this?”

“They split it into all-ages and adult versions.”

“You could do the same then.”

Ji Zhi pointed to the holographic simulator: “This is the adult version of the holographic simulator. A twelve-year-old boy had his two hundred-year-old great-grandfather buy it for their shared use.”

“…”

“The holographic simulator can detect the age of the user, but that was designed for the Ming Zhong World. Do you see these runes on the holographic simulator? There are cultivators in the Nine Provinces who can deceive the simulator’s mechanism with spells.”

“…”

Jiang Li felt that was absolutely absurd.

“Did you come to find me for a reason?”

“I just communicated with the Zombie World. They are interested in establishing contact with the Nine Provinces. I was thinking of asking you to draft a diplomatic document.”

“That would not be difficult.”

Ji Zhi stopped talking and used his ability to gaze into the future.

In the future, he found some officials who were experts in law and diplomacy to write the document Jiang Li requested.

Ji Zhi feverishly penned the documents that would emerge in the future.

“Here, these should suffice.” Ji Zhi handed over a jade pendant. Jiang Li scanned it with his Divine Sense, and found that the text was meticulously chosen and professionally written as expected.

“There’s another thing. Some time ago, I took a trip to the River of Time and met your ancestor, Emperor Shun.”

“You encountered our ancestor?!” Ji Zhi shot up from his seat.

Meeting Emperor Shun in the River of Time was the ultimate desire of his family, the Ji Clan. But Emperor Shun seemed uninterested in meeting them and had never appeared.

Yet, the second time Jiang Li had entered the River of Time, he had accomplished what generations of the Ji clan couldn’t achieve. The bias was undeniable.

They believed that they had treated their ancestor well, offering tributes they deemed sufficiently precious every year.

“Emperor Shun is a good man. He gave me a lot of insights. He said that his method of time manipulation was the most powerful, and that nobody in the Immortal Realm could outclass him.”

Jiang Li recounted his encounter with Emperor Shun to Ji Zhi.

“No wonder we couldn’t find our ancestor in the Immortal Realm after our clan members had ascended. Even Elder Longcun had no idea where our ancestor was. It turns out that after ascending, our ancestor spent all his time in the River of Time.”

“Why would you tell me this, about you meeting our ancestor?”

“To rub it in.”

Ji Zhi slams the table: “So you think you’re great because you’re at the Mahayana stage, huh? Wait till I reach the Body Integration Realm. I’ll go 500 years back in time to beat you up!”

“Your Majesty, Jiang Li has already left.”

Ji Zhi rolled his eyes: “Nonsense, would I dare say this in front of him?”

He and Jiang Li had met at the Great Zhou Royal Academy. Ever since meeting him, Ji Zhi never won against Jiang Li. If he wasn’t getting beaten horribly, he was on his way to getting beaten horribly.

With Jiang Li’s encouragement, he, who was not good at battling, rose from the bottom to become the second strongest in his grade.

He would remember Jiang Li for a lifetime.

…

To create a stable spatial passageway, it needed to be fed with spiritual energy for maintenance. Thus, Jiang Li approached the Corpse-Driving Sect and explained the situation in the Zombie World in great detail.

The high-ranking members of the Corpse-Driving Sect readily agreed to provide the necessary spiritual energy upon hearing about Zombie World.

What could be more wonderful than a world teeming with zombies?

“A world filled with zombies, it’s practically a paradise!” The Sect Master of the Corpse-Driving Sect’s eyes lit up at the prospect, wishing he could go to the Zombie World right now.

They were currently in need of materials, which Jiang Li brought to them. He was truly considerate.

Jiang Li felt that in a certain sense, the Corpse-Driving Sect was correct. After all, the current Immortal Realm was riddled with the bodies of mortals, deformed Earth Immortals, and fallen Immortals, which didn’t seem much different from a land teeming with zombies.

Next, Jiang Li contacted the Sky Mechanism Tower, Vanara Pagoda and several other representatives of forces, inviting them to the Zombie World.

The Sky Mechanism Tower was to report on this matter in the “Heavenly Machine Report,” the Vanara Pagoda would establish the spatial passageway, and the rest were present for show.

In 4820 of the Yan Calendar, the Nine Provinces World and the Zombie World officially established diplomatic relations. The Human Emperor and the United Lords jointly signed the “Mutually Beneficial Pact,” the “Trade Pact,” and several other subsidiary pacts.

The master of the Sky Mechanism Tower documented this historic moment, with the photo taking up an entire page of coverage.

In this very moment, the Earth Veins of the Nine Provinces had also quietly evolved.
