“Indeed, this pill formula is that of an Immortal Pill. The Soul-Breaking Water listed on it can only be found in the Underworld or the Immortal Realm, there are no substitute materials for it.”

“Once, some people in the Immortal Realm had the same idea as yours, out of curiosity, attempting to reach the Underworld using this method. However, none of them returned.”

“Why not?”

“Some speculated that the Underworld is a place that only the dead can enter, and once you enter, you can’t leave.”

“The Underworld doesn’t even give face to the Immortal Realm?” Jiang Li developed a liking for the Underworld.

“Life and death is the greatest order in this world. The Underworld is the last line of defense for the order of life and death, indifferent to who comes. Neither Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, nor Golden Immortals can return once they go there. To go means death.”

Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Facing the Origin, Returning the Origin to the Ultimate, Reaching the Ultimate Round, is known as the Golden Immortal.

Like the pie-in-the-sky figures of the Mahayana Realm that the Longevity Elder fabricated for everyone, the likes of Minghuo Immortal Monarch and Battle Immortal belong to this level.

Very few cultivators from the Nine Provinces who ascend to the Immortal Realm can cultivate to this step. This would already classify them as magnates of the Immortal Realm, free to do as they please without any constraints.

For this reason, there have always been people flattering Jiang Li, claiming that he will definitely become a magnate in the Immortal Realm after his ascension.

There are precedents for this.

Above the Golden Immortal is the founder figure known as the “ancestor”, Dao Sect Hierarch, who has cultivated to the end.

“What about a person of the Dao Sect Hierarch’s level?”

“I don’t know that, I am not the Dao Sect Hierarch.”

The Longevity Elder knew of Jiang Li’s character. If he wanted to go to the Underworld, no one could dissuade him from going.

He believed that Jiang Li would likely be able to return. If not, couldn’t he force him back?

No, no, how could he have such a notion?

As though he thought of something, the Longevity Elder said: “Previously, didn’t you ask me what happened in the Underworld that caused the Underworld to be broken into, allowing souls to escape? mentioning the internal strife of the Ten Halls of Yama, and the contradictions that arose.”

“Yes, you said that, and also that the Spirit Kings were Immortals in their past lives, having different ideas or something, and that the Underworld wanted to attack the Immortal Realm. You said a lot, and I remember everything.”

“That was all made up.”

Jiang Li almost choked on his spit.

“Elder, be upfront with me, how many times have you tricked me?”

The Longevity Elder was feeling quite helpless: “When I first heard your description, I knew that it was probably done by a fallen Immortal, but I didn’t dare tell you the truth.”

“If I had said that the Underworld was attacked by foreign Heavenly Demons, you would have wondered why the Immortal Realm didn’t care about the foreign Heavenly Demons, eventually leading you to deduce that there was a big problem with the Immortal Realm, that the Heavenly Demons are actually Immortals.”

“In my haste, I had to come up with a pile of inconsistent fabrications to smooth over the lie.” The Longevity Elder admired himself, ever since knowing Jiang Li, his ability to lie improved day by day.

Jiang Li trusted the Elder too much. If he thought carefully, it would be impossible to dismiss the safety of the Underworld, and cause a big commotion in the Underworld, disrupting the order of Reincarnation.

The only possible explanation was an external attack.

“Then, out of all the things you said about the Underworld, how much of it is true?”

“At least there are truly the Ten Halls of Yama.”

“…So it’s all false!” Jiang Li was infuriated. Details about the Ten Halls of Yama were everywhere in folklore, and did not require the Elder to relay it to him.

“Anyway, the Immortal Realm should have found the location of the Underworld and dispatched people to attack it.”

“Then, isn’t the Underworld in grave danger?” Jiang Li suddenly got up. The Underworld was a matter of life and death affecting the Ten Thousand Realms, and could not be ignored.

The Longevity Elder showed no urgency at all, “Don’t underestimate the Underworld. Although many Immortals choose to reincarnate, a large number of benevolent Immortals also chose to stay in the Underworld. Numerous Immortals have accumulated in the Underworld from ancient times to the present, quite possibly the number of Ghost Immortals exceeding the Earth Immortals in the Immortal Realm. If they were to fight, the Underworld would have a higher chance of winning.”

“After tricking you that day, I intentionally watched the births situation in the Nine Provinces over the past few months, but have not noticed any missing souls, dual soul bodies or infants that carried memories of their past lives. This indicates that the Underworld is still operating normally.”

“That’s good.” Jiang Li became more relaxed; although the Elder was a trickster, his arrangements were still very thorough.

“Therefore, you need not rush to ‘die’.”

Jiang Li felt that there was something odd about the Elder’s words.

“Oh, I meant a fake death.” The Longevity Elder added.

…

When Jiang Li was leaving the Sealing Self Cave, he encountered a person who rarely appeared in the Dao Sect.

The Hierarch of the Scholar Sect, Dong Zhongshu.

“Human Emperor, you’re actually here.” Dong Zhongshu was overjoyed, he came here intending to invite Bai Hongtu, but their meeting was just as cold and sarcastic as always. He was quite frustrated, he did not expect to meet Jiang Li here.

The doctrine of the Scholar Sect was to first cultivate the self and then the family before governing a country to achieve peace across the world. It could be said that their highest pursuit was to achieve peace across the world, but no one in their sect had ever been able to achieve this goal.

However, Dong Zhongshu believed that Jiang Li had accomplished the feat of achieving peace across the world, a feat considered legendary, and had always been learning from him.

“I came to seek advice from Elder, why, is there something?”

“Yes, the anniversary of the birth of the Saint of the Scholar Sect will soon be upon us. Our Scholar Sect plans to hold grand celebrations.”

The founder of the Scholar Sect was Dong Zhongshu, but the doctrine of the Scholar Sect was not proposed by him. The origin of the Scholar Sect can be traced to the top of the Immortal Realm – the Saint of the Scholar Sect.

It was said that after Dong Zhongshu ascended to the Immortal Realm, he became a disciple of the Saint of Scholars and enjoyed a lot of prestige.

The Great Confucian Word Post was also obtained from his fellow disciple by Dong Zhongshu and then left in the Scholar Sect as a treasure.

The Saint of Scholar Sect was a great figure who was on counter with the Dao Sect Hierarch. Given the current situation in the Immortal Realm, he was either dead or had joined the Heavenly Dao.

However, there was no need for Jiang Li to discuss these matters with Dong Zhongshu.

Let them celebrate. After all, the Immortal Realm couldn’t receive any information from the Nine Provinces. The Scholar Sect being happy was good enough. There was no need to rain on their parade.

“Sure, I am aware of this matter. I will drop by the Scholar Sect.”

Dong Zhongshu respectfully handed Jiang Li an invitation and then left.

“Did you have another argument?” Jiang Li asked Bai Hongtu, who was hiding nearby, with a smile.

“They are all trivial matters not worth mentioning.” Bai Hongtu didn’t wish to talk more. He and Dong Zhongshu had known each other for a long time. Five hundred years ago, when they were both Spell Walkers each wanting to beat the other, they often fought, with their victories and losses evenly matched.

Despite the frequent fights, they had a decent relationship.

However, later during the selection of the Human Emperor, Bai Hongtu was chosen by the Earth Veins to become a candidate for Human Emperor, while Dong Zhongshu was not.

Bai Hongtu felt that although Dong Zhongshu always spoke of sacrificing himself for the world, he didn’t really mean it, or else he would have become a candidate for the Human Emperor.

He was a hypocrite who said one thing and did another.

“So, will you go?”

“Of course, I must go! I heard that the Scholar Sect is organizing a Gentleman’s Country to celebrate the Saint’s birth, and I am curious to see what they have come up with.”

“Don’t stir up trouble.” Jiang Li warned him.

“What are you talking about? When have I ever caused trouble?”
