Chapter 723: Chapter 722: Empress Yu Yin

“Do we have a sample?”

“Please review it, Director Dong.”

Director Dong skimmed through it, immediately realizing that it was indeed a banned book.

The First Emperor didn’t care about how others evaluated him. He had absolute power, and everything he did was right. How did others’ assessments affect him?

Some people called him a benevolent ruler, some called him a tyrant, and some even called him a tyrant who implemented benevolent policies.

These evaluations didn’t even qualify to provoke an emotional response from the First Emperor.

...

The First Emperor didn’t care, but the officials did.

They tried everything to eliminate the impression of him as a tyrant. One of the specific measures was to reduce some of the cruel methods of the First Emperor.

For example, the number of people who died at the hands of the First Emperor.

The book that Jiang Li had read earlier was one of those that had been beautified.

All books that accurately recorded the number of victims or provided detailed descriptions of the killing process were listed as banned books.

“Trace the roots, capture the person, and send them to the local government office for sentencing.”

“With what charges?”

Director Dong waved his hand, casually saying, “Printing banned items, or leaking royal secrets. Let the government office choose one.”

“Plus, destroy all the banned books, including the one in my hand.”

“Yes.”

“Director Dong, monks who explored other worlds have reported that they found a new world. However, they are unwilling to submit to Jiuzhou. What should we do? Should we use force to suppress them?”

The First Emperor had two ways to expand his rule. One was to collide with other worlds, and the other was to use a transportation formation to send people over there and force them to submit to Jiuzhou.

“What’s the strength of the other world?”

“A technological world that has already established mature technology for mining star energy.”

“Send two monks from the Body Integration Realm to destroy a few planets and display our strength. If they still don’t know better, then forcibly suppress them.”

Not the first time dealing with such a situation, Director Dong knew that monks responsible for external exploration lacked power, making it easy for them to be dismissed by others.

“Yes.”

Jiang Li duplicated a banned book using his Divine Skills.

The author of the banned book remained anonymous, presumably because they didn’t dare to reveal themselves. Jiang Li was on his way to the inner court of the Imperial Palace while reading the banned book.

It candidly recorded all of the First Emperor’s actions, summarizing them in one sentence: it’s good to be a subject of the First Emperor, but stay away from him.

Being a close official under the First Emperor significantly increased the risk of death.

Even if you had nothing to do with the First Emperor, you risked your life if you happened to be hit when he made a move.

Jiang Li remembered when the First Emperor was fighting Leader Liu and others. The fire spread to the small village, causing innocents to suffer.

Jiang Li also ran into Leader Liu. The First Emperor was not there, and as the chief internal leader, he had nothing to do and was planning his retirement life.

Past Leader Liu was the inner court, the harem of the First Emperor.

Although it was called a harem, it felt more like a cultivation place with rich spiritual energy. Even the streams were made of spiritual water.

Unlike the emperor’s harem in the mortal world, which is filled with intrigue and deceit, the First Emperor’s harem was exceptionally harmonious, with everyone diligently cultivating.

Yu Yin sat in the center of the formation, comprehending the Dao of Immortality, leading the cultivation. The women of the harem closed their eyes, meditating and cultivating with Yu Yin at the center.

Some consorts chose to practice fighting. The imperial palace had a formation to suppress their strength, preventing them from reaching 100% of their power, so they wouldn’t have to worry about destroying the palace.

“Yu Yin, I didn’t expect you to become an immortal.” Jiang Li emerged from his hidden state to greet Yu Yin.

Yu Yin was emanating fluctuations of immortal power from head to toe. Her cold demeanor now had a sense of mystique, evidently indicating that she had become an immortal.

“Who are you!” Yu Yin was on guard, although the voice sounded familiar, like the First Emperor’s.

But that couldn’t be right. How could the First Emperor have such a gentle tone?

Jiang Li’s appearance also put the several consorts on guard. This was the inner court. Who would let men enter?

If the First Emperor returned from another world and discovered this, what would his reaction be?

Dream Yu Yu, sect master of the Union Sect, should, by logic, become a part of the First Emperor’s harem. However, the First Emperor distanced her for her origins, not letting her enter his inner court.

Since coming to this parallel world, Jiang Li guessed he might appear in Jiuzhou, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had changed his appearance. Now, even if he emerged from his hidden state, he didn’t look the same as before.

“Protect the Empress! Call for Leader Liu.” A consort yelled.

Jiang Li followed the gaze of the consorts and looked back at Yu Yin.

“You’ve become the Empress?” Jiang Li smiled.

It made sense. Yu Yin, as the Heavenly Emperor Queen, had the highest cultivation among female cultivators. Logically and emotionally, she should be the Empress.

Yu Yin raised her hand to silence the screaming consorts: “Don’t call for Leader Liu yet.”

Yu Yin looked at Jiang Li, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: “Who are you really?”

Only then did Jiang Li remember that he hadn’t changed his face back.

“Me, of the same name and surname, Jiang Li.”

“How dare you impersonate the Emperor?!” An immediate reaction from the consorts, but Jiang Li observed all the screaming women and didn’t recognize any of them.

The consorts he recognized all kept their heads down in thought and refrained from speaking rashly.

“No, you aren’t impersonating. The Emperor’s power stands shoulder to shoulder with Heavenly Dao, and even routs it in battle.”

“Just as no one can impersonate the Respected God-hidden, no one has the qualifications to impersonate the Emperor. You are also Jiang Li.” Yu Yin made her judgment quickly.

The First Emperor didn’t tell about meeting Jiang Li in a dream and then being beaten, so Yu Yin didn’t know of Jiang Li’s existence.

Jiang Li explained, “I am indeed Jiang Li, but I’m not from your world. I am from a parallel world. Yu Yin, you should know about parallel worlds. The ancient Venerable Sumeru mentioned them to you, me, and Bai Hongtu.”

“As for proof…”

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, releasing a trace of the Mahayana Realm’s imposing manner. The expression of several consorts changed dramatically as though it triggered unpleasant memories.

“There is only one person in the world who is at the Mahayana Realm, and that person is named Jiang Li.” Yu Yin nodded, acknowledging Jiang Li’s identity.

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment. She felt an unbelievable sensation that the Jiang Li in front of her was even more powerful than the First Emperor.

“He is indeed the Emperor from a parallel world.” Ji Kongkong also chimed in. She had used the Dao of Time to see Jiang Li’s future when he appeared.

She saw that in the future, Jiang Li walked shoulder to shoulder with the First Emperor. Who else but the Emperor himself could walk side by side with him?

Upon seeing this, she hurriedly stopped using the Dao of Time.

The First Emperor didn’t like others spying on him, especially using the Dao of Time.

“How did you become an immortal?”

Yu Yin asked others to leave, only keeping a few trustworthy ones, coincidentally, all of whom Jiang Li knew.

Mo Ruoyu, Blissful Bodhisattva, Xiang Xiang Bodhisattva, White Snow Spirit, Pure Heart, Li Nian’er, Ji Kongkong, and Yu Youxian.

Red Dust Fairy wasn’t here, and Jiang Li quickly figured out why.

The charm of the Red Dust Fairy ignored genders. Allowing Red Dust Fairy to enter the inner court, who then would actually rule—her or the First Emperor?

“With no hope for Mahayana Realm, I became an immortal to defeat the First Emperor.” Yu Yin changed her address from ‘Your Majesty’ to ‘First Emperor.’

For some reason, seeing Jiang Li, Yu Yin felt a deep sense of trust and wanted to speak honestly with him.

Perhaps it was influenced by her parallel world self? Yu Yin didn’t know.
