Chapter 359 - 358 Nine Provinces Earth Veins



If you could rely on the system, then a pig could climb up a tree.

If you named the system as dumb, then indeed it was very dumb.

If you thought the system was smart, it would certainly fight you to claim that title.

“Being between dumb and smart, one might call it biphasic intelligence.”

The most peculiar thing was that it constantly insisted on being the “Reversal System”, striving to help him reverse his fate.

If one were to speak of the person with the highest status in the world of Nine Provinces, it would undoubtedly be the Human Emperor. Going from the lowest level of a cultivator to the pinnacle of Nine Provinces was indeed a reversal. The system issued a special task called “Path of the Human Emperor”, allowing him to become the Human Emperor.

Jiang Li didn’t doubt the authenticity of the system’s task. According to the requirement of the system, he could indeed become the Human Emperor.

“It’s just that it came too late and it’s too dangerous.”

Jiang Li wouldn’t be at ease unless he figured out the origin of the system.

Everything about him was laid out clearly, he certainly didn’t believe there was nothing wrong with the system.

So far, other than the First Emperor, he had not met a second person with the system.

Jiang Li and the First Emperor had only met briefly and had a fight, but Jiang Li was certain that the First Emperor also had a system, and it was also five hundred years late.

Either he was special, or he had yet too little experience, and there were other system-holders in other worlds as well.

“So where do I stand out? Is it the Mahayana realm? Or my outstanding combat power? Or being a transmigrator….” Jiang Li had too many special aspects, and he was at a loss for a moment.

“From the tasks issued so far, the system seems harmless, but it’s hard to tell in the future.” Jiang Li recalled the series of comical tasks released by the system.

But if these tasks were given five hundred years ago, he wouldn’t have been racking his brains over how to solve the problems and could have followed the system’s prompts, with fairly good results.

“When do I start the special task of the Path of the Human Emperor?”

[Please wait patiently, Host]

Jiang Li thought, it indeed wasn’t the time yet. At this time five hundred years ago, Emperor Lu wasn’t selecting Human Emperor candidates.

Saying that Emperor Lu was selecting Human Emperor candidates wasn’t quite right, to be precise, Emperor Lu was asking the Nine Provinces Earth Veins to select Human Emperor candidates.

If Jiang Li wanted to resign from the position of Human Emperor, he also needed the Nine Provinces Earth Veins to select a Human Emperor first.

“Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I last visited the Nine Provinces Earth Veins.”

The Nine Provinces Earth Veins were the core of the Nine Provinces world, located directly beneath the Imperial Palace.

The Commander Liu always stationed in the Imperial Palace, which was equivalent to holding down the Nine Provinces Earth Veins.

“Greetings, Hall Master!” The guards at the entrance of the Imperial Palace suppressed their excitement when they saw Jiang Li, and saluted him.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Jiang Li nodded slightly and then found Commander Liu.

Seeing Jiang Li, Commander Liu was very surprised and put away his Remote Communication Talisman. “Hall Master? I was just thinking of looking for you.”

“Is there something wrong?” Commander Liu rarely took the initiative to contact him, and each time he did, it was a big deal.

For example, when Zhang Konghu and his wife Ma Zhuo were imprisoned, or when there were three commander candidates, or the banquet for Ma Zhuo’s newborn’s one-month birthday.

“I want to ask for two days off and go out for a trip.”

“Of course, I’ll take over the duties of the Imperial Palace.” Jiang Li agreed readily. Commander Liu had contributed a lot, and taking a few days off wouldn’t affect anything.

Moreover, both the commanders and the guards had regular vacation and annual leave.

Commander Liu showed an even more surprised expression than before, he thought he had heard wrong.

Commander Liu did not dwell on the matter and left the Imperial Palace.

Jiang Li entered a secret chamber full of deadly formations. If one did not know the method, even a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage would fall here.

Only the Human Emperor had the right to step into this secret chamber, even the old veteran like Commander Liu was not allowed to come here.

It was a rule.

Jiang Li followed the predetermined steps to unlock the formation, walked through the long secret chamber, and arrived at a place filled with rich spiritual energy.

The density of the spiritual energy here was even higher than that of a top-grade spirit stone. If one carelessly took a breath, it could easily inflate and burst a cultivator.

Jiang Li held his breath, worried that he might incidentally suck in all this spiritual energy.

Jiang Li’s forehead had a mark that shone brighter the closer he got to the Earth Veins.

This was the unique Earth Vein mark of the Human Emperor, representing the relationship between the Human Emperor and the Earth Veins.

Jiang Li stood still, in front of him was a slow-flowing azure blue stream, which flowed slowly like a liquid, yet also like a solid.

When a cultivator arrived here, they would find their heart serene and their state of mind greatly elevated.

“Old friend, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”

Jiang Li squatted down, making a scooping gesture, but the azure blue stream was like an illusion, his hand passed through without catching anything.

This azure blue stream was the Earth Veins. It flowed slowly with no response to Jiang Li.

The Earth Veins were non-living, and lacked consciousness, so naturally, they couldn’t respond to Jiang Li.

If someone were to cut the Nine Provinces Continent horizontally, they would find a stream flowing through the whole continent slowly, giving a sense of peace.

The Earth Veins in front of Jiang Li were the core of the Earth Veins, extremely important to the Nine Provinces.

The Earth Veins collected the power of faith from all living beings in Nine Provinces and offered it to the successive Human Emperors to use.

While the successive Human Emperors chose to add the power of faith to themselves, Jiang Li stored the power of faith in his bronze cauldron.

“Thanks to you indeed, otherwise the previous Human Emperors would have had a hard time defeating the Heavenly Demons from outside the world.” Jiang Li thanked the Earth Veins. The Nine Provinces, having survived the violent attacks from the Heavenly Demons, owed greatly to the Earth Veins.

Originally, the Nine Provinces did not have such a thing as Earth Veins. Later on, the Stairway to Immortality disappeared, and the terrifying Heavenly Demons from outside the world descended.

At that time, although there were dozens of cultivators at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage in the Nine Provinces, their hearts were not united and they each fought their own battles. When faced with the powerful onslaught of the Heavenly Demons, they suffered heavy losses.

All beings hoped that someone would rise to defeat the Heavenly Demons from outside the world, so they offered all their power of faith to a certain person.

This person was the first Human Emperor. He waged a bloody battle against the Heavenly Demons from outside the world and emerged victorious.

The first Human Emperor found that the power of faith was unstable, which was not conducive to subsequent battles. He took advantage of the time when all beings were most united and established the Nine Provinces Earth Veins.

The Nine Provinces Earth Veins could not only collect the faith of all beings and convert it into stable faith power but also control the spiritual mechanisms of Nine Provinces and select candidates who met the criteria for Human Emperor.

Beginning with the second Human Emperor, all subsequent Human Emperors had gone through the stage of being a candidate for Human Emperor and ultimately stood apart from others to become a Human Emperor, including Jiang Li.

What exactly the Earth Veins were, even Immortal Elder Chang couldn’t give an answer. For defining the nature of the Earth Veins, according to his knowledge, there wasn’t anything similar to Earth Veins in the Immortal Realm, maybe the Earth Veins could be considered a special product of the Nine Provinces.

Jiang Li talked to the Earth Veins as if it was an old friend, telling it about some interesting events in recent years, the grandeur of Nine Provinces, the fascinating aspects of other worlds, and the…. the Heavenly Demons from outside the world’s relentless ambition, trying to lead the world towards destruction.

Rather than saying Jiang Li was talking to the Earth Veins, it was more like he was talking to the previous Human Emperors.

The previous Human Emperors all liked talking to the Earth Veins. In their view, the Earth Veins were like a legacy, connecting the past Human Emperors with future ones.

“Being a Human Emperor is really not easy. Predecessors, you’ve all worked hard, and so have I. I just don’t know what kind of person the future Human Emperor would be, I hope I won’t exert too much pressure on him.”

After reflecting for a moment, Jiang Li got up and returned to the Imperial Palace.
