Chapter 253: Chapter 252 We Are Very Familiar with Jiang, The Human Emperor

Translator: 549690339

Tong Liu truly didn’t recognize Jiang Li, for Jiang was only in the Nascent Soul Stage when he left the secret realm and was not well-known. Tong Liu, trapped in his illusion, had been enacting the same scenario for five hundred years and was oblivious to the changes in the outside world.

Whether it was Jiang Li becoming the Human Emperor or him trouncing the Heavenly Demons, Tong Liu had never heard about it.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s normal for you not to know me after isolating yourself for five hundred years.”

Jiang Li emphasized again, he was not embarrassed at all.

“Friend Jiang is right, perhaps I should try to move on from my past.”

Tong Liu stood up and, without using any mana, dug a hole using only his physical strength to bury his grandpa, uncle, aunt, and other villagers. He then erected tombstones and engraved the names on them.

Jiang Li’s words were not a miraculous cure, but they provided Tong Liu with an opportunity to move on.

Tong Liu had not completely overcome his mental blockade, but he had taken the first step.

Tong Liu thanked Jiang Li and Li Nian’er again.

“I don’t have anything to repay you with. These are the things I got from the secret realm, please take whatever you like, Friend Jiang.”

Tong Liu took out some treasures and asked Jiang Li to accept them.

These were all high-quality treasures, even those at the Body Integration Realm could use them. “There’s no need, Friend Tong Liu, you just keep them.”

“Friend Jiang, don’t be shy.”

“I’m not being shy.”

After some sincere refusals, Li Nian’er suddenly said: “Older Tong, Uncle Jiang is the current Human Emperor, and he is in the Mahayana Realm.”

“Mahayana Stage?”

Jiang Li politely nodded.

Tong Liu felt quite embarrassed. He thought Jiang Li had humbly declined his offer, yet he found out that Jiang Li was two levels higher than him, and even held the title of Human Emperor. No wonder he didn’t want his items.

“Young one, what about these items for you?” Tong Liu turned around, shifting his target.

Jiang Li interrupted: “Her father is Li Er of the Physical Body Sect, and her mother is the Dragon Princess of West Sea.”

“That’s how it is.”

Li Er’s name was like thunder in Tong Liu’s ears. Even five hundred years ago, Li Er was renowned as a formidable cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

Moreover, Tong Liu knew that the Four Sea Dragon Palace was known for its vast territory and riches. The East Sea Dragon Palace was the wealthiest, followed by the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Tong Liu considered his next move, pretending as if nothing had happened, then respectfully took his leave.

“He’s a good candidate for a leader, but he’s naive and too thin-skinned. He hasn’t seen the cruelty of the world and still requires the baptism of Red Dust.” Watching Tong Liu leave, Jiang Li softly murmured.

Tong Liu’s loyalty is a virtue, but his mentality isn’t congruent with his strength, he still has a lot of potential to grow.

Jiang Li was curious to see what kind of person Tong Liu would end up becoming, and then he would make his plans.

Commander Liu called Jiang Li through the Remote Communication Talisman.

“What’s up?

“Hall Master, do you remember what day is it in seven days?” Commander Liu asked with a serious expression.

“The sixth day of February.”

Commander Liu stared at his master mysteriously, a sense of resentment in his eyes: ‘ . I haven’t experienced senile dementia yet to miscount the dates. The day after seven days is your 300th anniversary as the Human Emperor. According to the rules, we should hold a grand ceremony and celebrate throughout the Nine Provinces.”

Celebrating Jiang Li’s ascension is a symbol of peace. It’s celebrated every ten years and this year happened to be the 300th anniversary, which would be on an unprecedented scale. All the major powers would come to congratulate, making it a rare grand festival in the Nine Provinces that everyone looks forward to.

Most importantly, there would be a ten-day long holiday.

Jiang Li said apologetically: “I was only joking, as a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, how could I forget such a significant day?”

Commander Liu quietly looked at his own hall master. If you care, you would indeed remember, but if you didn’t… “Since you remember, I assume you’ve prepared your speech.”

“Of course.” Jiang Li stubbornly claimed.

“Let’s hear it.”

“On this sunny and breezy day, I welcome everyone. Please eat and drink to your heart’s content.”

“That’s it?”

“Enjoy the food and drink.”

Commander Liu sighed resignedly, he knew Jiang Li had long forgotten about this matter: “Forget it, leave the speech to me.”

Zhang Konghu was not reliable for this task; his poor literacy made for a messy and confusing speech. If Commander Mu was asked to write the speech, it would be full of an air of smugness. Commander Huang’s dark personality would write a depressing piece.

The best writers in Imperial Palace were the couple Ma Zhuo, mainly because they had written the most books.

Even if he was beaten to death, Commander Liu would never let Ma Zhuo’s couple write anything.

Commander Liu didn’t expect Jiang Li to be of much help. The purpose of contacting him was to remind him to come to the Imperial Palace after ten days.

It seemed that a reminder was indeed necessary.

Commander Liu stood up. He had more to do than write a speech. Arranging the venue, assigning seats, preparing performance venues, everything needed to be managed by him.

After hanging up the communication talisman, Jiang Li thought that Commander Liu was not having it easy, managing the Imperial Palace alone while the rightful master was off gallivanting.

Jiang Li considered with the remnants of his conscience to go back to the Imperial Palace to help Commander Liu.

Li Nian’er expressed her wish to go to the Imperial Palace with Jiang Li, who gladly agreed.

The Imperial Palace was located in the heart of the Nine Provinces, a separate region that was designed for the Human Emperor’s festivities.

At this time, the area surrounding the Imperial Palace was bustling. Countless temporary lodges, wine shops, stalls, commercial streets, and exhibition halls for associations had been erected. After the celebration ended and the crowd dispersed, the owners would dismantle their structures and depart with their earnings.

Apart from those who were doing business, there were also ones who were promoting.

“Fellow Daoist, do you want to join our Observing Mahayana Sect?” One person enthusiastically promoted his sect, hoping to use this opportunity to expand its influence.

“Observing Mahayana Sect? Aren’t you the Senior Brother of Observing Stars sect?” someone asked, puzzled.

The Senior Brother of Observing Stars Sect responded with a solemn expression, “The purpose of our sect is to observe the trajectory of the stars and sense the changes in humanity. However, the stars can be shattered by a cultivator in the Integration Stage, so how could such items reflect the numbers of humanity?”

“The mighty force of the stars has a limit, but the realm of the Mahayana is infinite. Our sect realized that the Mahayana stage is the root of the changes in humanity, hence we decided to correct our sect’s name to better reflect our history.”

“I see, so what is the relationship between Observing Mahayana Sect and Emperor Jiang?”

The Senior Brother of the Observing Stars Sect whispered a secret, “We are very familiar with Jiang the Human Emperor.”

The bystanders gasped in surprise, “I didn’t expect that there’s such a relationship. I want to join the Observing Mahayana Sect.”

“Come, sign here, and press your handprint. From now on, you’re one of us in Observing Mahayana Sect.” The Senior Brother of Observing Mahayana Sect warmly welcomed his new junior brother.

Upon hearing the news, people were motivated to join the Observing Mahayana Sect.

Jiang Li, who was listening on the side, couldn’t help but ask, “Is Jiang the

Human Emperor really familiar with you?”

In such a crowded place, Jiang Li had changed his appearance.

The Senior Brother of Observing Mahayana Sect waved his hand dismissively, “That’s such a hurtful thing to say. Doesn’t familiarity from one side count as familiarity? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The bystanders realized they had been fooled, and together they chased out the Senior Brother of Observing Mahayana Sect..
