BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - 140 ‘Heavenly Machine Report
Eventually, the Vault of Brahma appeared, establishing a fixed passage, one end of which was at Dao Sect, and the other end at the capital of Ming Zhong World. It was the responsibility of the Dao Sect to maintain the spiritual energy of the passage.
On the third day of the seventh month of the year 4801 in the Flame calendar,
Ming Zhong World held a welcome ceremony in the parliament to welcome Emperor Jiang Li from Nine Provinces, who had come thousands of miles away to visit Ming Zhong World.
Monk Jiang Li, the Emperor, attended the welcoming ceremony.
He was accompanied by the 39th Dao Sect Master, Monk Bai Hongtu, Dao Sect Founder Monk Huang Changcun, and the Dao Sect Elders.
After the welcoming ceremony ended, President Ming Zhong had a meeting with Emperor Jiang Li at Fengze Building.
The meeting was held in a warm atmosphere, and opinions were exchanged on matters of mutual interest.
Monk Jiang Li pointed out that enhancing cultural exchanges between the two worlds, promoting friendship between the two peoples and winning through cooperation are necessary steps.
President Ming Zhong had high praise for the system of the Emperor of Nine Provinces.
The two leaders exchanged opinions on the world’s new pattern and leftover beasts and reached a consensus.
The two leaders unanimously agreed that in the spirit of friendly cooperation and to realize greater development, it is the responsibility of the new generation youth to fulfil this.
After the meeting ended, the representatives entered the dining hall amidst enthusiastic applause.
—Sky Mechanism News
“Hot off the press, Sky Mechanism News!”
“Paperboy, I’ll take one.” A cultivator tossed five low-grade spirit stones at the newsboy.
“Ok, here you go.” The newsboy happily took the spirit stones, handed a newspaper to the cultivator, and continued to shout.
Sky Mechanism News is a new venture from Sky Mechanism Tower, designed to demonstrate that they are the largest news force in Nine Provinces. The paperboys are not children hired from somewhere, but formal disciples of Sky Mechanism Tower. Therefore, despite the fact that the paperboy is polite to everyone, his cultivation level is higher than most cultivators.
Selling newspapers is an internal task of the Sky Mechanism Tower.
Sky Mechanism News is not a daily paper, but rather, it is released every fifteen days. The content is rich and no crude or useless information is used to fill the pages.
So, as soon as this service was launched, it was warmly welcomed by the cultivators and Sky Mechanism Tower made a handsome profit.
Upon receiving the Sky Mechanism News, the first thing that came into view was a joint portrait of Jiang Li and Ming Zhong, recalled by a master of Dao Sect.
Daring to report on Jiang Li, Sky Mechanism Tower, of course, had gotten Jiang Li’s permission. Otherwise, they, the biggest news force in Nine Provinces, could find themselves replaced the next day.
“Excuse me, brother, is there any interesting content in this issue of the newspaper?”
The cultivator who bought the first newspaper said cheerfully, “Buy one, I assure you won’t regret it. This issue’s content is at par with the Nine Provinces Congress a few years ago, if not more interesting.”
Hearing this, the man’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bought a copy.
The Nine Provinces Congress a few years ago was the headlining article of the first issue of Sky Mechanism News, giving many cultivators their first insight into high-end meetings. After reading it, they felt as though their horizons had been expanded. It was the most popular issue of Sky Mechanism News.
The Tower Master of the Sky Mechanism Tower also attended the Nine Provinces Congress. While he did not speak at the meeting, his attention was more focused than anyone else’s. He used all his effort to remember every detail of the meeting.
However, the Tower Master of Sky Mechanism Tower knew his limits, and dared not report everything externally. At least, the fact that Emperor Wei caused trouble at the meeting was something he could not let out. Otherwise, Emperor Wei would be bound to have a showdown with the Sky Mechanism Tower by leveraging his national fortune.
Causing trouble at a conference has no major impact – it’s a small prank. But if it were reported, the nature of the event would completely change.
That issue of the paper also recorded Jiang Li. However, regarding matters related to the emperor, they could not report at will. At that time, when Jiang Li had gone to the zombie world, the Tower Master of Sky Mechanism Tower had asked for approval from the only Leader of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, Leader Liu, from Emperor Jiang Li’s Palace. After getting his approval, they dared to print and sell it.
“What, Emperor Jiang Li and the people of Dao Sect went to a new world?” A cultivator who bought the newspaper exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, everyone became interested and took out spirit stones to buy it. They wanted to see what content was in this newspaper.
The newsboy quickly sold out of his newspapers.
Sky Mechanism Tower was prepared. They printed several times more copies of the Sky Mechanism News than they usually do, and the newsboy took out another load of newspapers from his storage ring and continued his sales pitch.
“Extra, extra, Jiang Li visits a new world!”
“Extra, extra, Jiang Li visits a new world!”
Looking down the street, it was hard to find someone looking up. Everyone was reading the paper, seeing what the other world was like.
Someone glanced quickly at the content: “I heard that this is the first place
Emperor Jiang Li left Nine Provinces for. He found the invaluable Yin Yang
Heaven Seal there.”
Even though they had long heard that Nine Provinces were not the only world and there were other worlds beyond the void, these were all hearsay; no one had truly understood them.
“I thought all worlds relied on spiritual energy, but, apparently, there are worlds like this where they can live well without spiritual energy.” A cultivator read the introduction of the technology from Ming Zhong World in the newspaper, which shattered his cognition. The first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, using new energy — all these were unheard-of concepts to him.
“This thing called ‘mecha’ looks really cool. I wonder what level of spiritual treasure it is.”
“But this world doesn’t seem to be very strong. Even a simple beast could destroy our human race. If it wasn’t for Emperor Jiang Li, this world would have been in danger.”
“What do you mean ‘simple beast’? That is a proper Body Integration Beast.”
“Even Body Integration isn’t high.” Although this cultivator was only at the third level of Qi Cultivation, it didn’t prevent him from having high standards, “If those beasts dared to come to Nine Provinces, do you think they could live to see the next day?”
This was a fact, after all. Which imperial master of the nine empires couldn’t reach the threshold of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage with the help of their national fortune? Dealing with a Body Integration Beast would be effortless and wouldn’t even cause a splash.
“Hey, look, it says that some people from that world have come to our Nine Provinces. Wonder if we could meet them !”
“They’re all learning the Nine Provinces’ language in Dao Sect for the time being; they won’t be out for a while. Even if you meet them, you wouldn’t recognize them. Everyone has black hair and black eyes.”
“I feel like going to this world. I wonder when they will open up more spots.” A cultivator lamented. This was a completely different world from Nine Provinces and it attracted him. “Damn it, why do they have to limit the number of spots?”
Someone gave him a sidelong glance: “If they did not limit the number of spots, wouldn’t that world be full of people from our Nine Provinces?”
“Just wait. Within ten years, they should completely lift the restrictions.” Someone estimated based on the situation.
“Come to think of it, have you noticed a problem? How did the people from Dao Sect get to that world?”
“Right, wasn’t it said that the world is separated by space? It’s hard for even cultivators of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage to cross.”
“Look at the end of the newspaper. It says that Emperor Jiang Li found the Vault of Brahma, which can establish space passages in Nine Provinces and also between different worlds. However, maintaining the passage requires the consumption of a lot of spiritual energy.”
A clever cultivator saw the implication: “Emperor Jiang Li is hinting at the major forces to apply to him to establish a space passage.”
Indeed, the major forces were more interested in the space passage than in the Ming Zhong World. It was clear in the newspaper that Ming Zhong World not only had a quota restriction but also that the entrance to the passage was established in Dao Sect. Even if they were interested in Ming Zhong World, they could not enter.
They were more concerned about the space passages right in front of them..
