Chapter 724: Chapter 723 Different Choices, Different Worlds

“The first Emperor was far too arrogant. To the people, he may have appeared judicious, but to those of us who knew him, he was truly a dictator.”

“Originally, I became immortal in order to defeat him. That seemed to me the only feasible option.”

“Yet since the day I learned that even the Immortal Realm scrambles to evade the first Emperor, I entirely abandoned hope.”

Yu Yin spoke in a somber tone, “Becoming an immortal is not enough to triumph over the first Emperor.”

It was as if he was speaking to himself, or perhaps to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li heard a trace of despair in his words.

...

Being with the first Emperor was akin to being a plaything – without the necessary strength, he was liable to discard you at any moment.”

Jiang Li expressed understanding, even if the first Emperor had promised not to hurt Yu Yin, who could guarantee his heart wouldn’t change?

Before his transition, the first Emperor upheld fairness and justice, he had no aspirations to become a dictator. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have endured mental illness and ascended to the Mahayana Realm.

But what about after the transition? He quickly forgot his original self.

How many people can truly remain unchanged?

Yu Yin of Jiang Li’s world had many opportunities to become an immortal before reaching the Mahayana Realm. However, she was always afraid that becoming an immortal would interfere with her ascension to the Mahayana Realm, so she never did become an immortal.”

Yu Yin from the first Emperor’s world was eager to defeat the Emperor and thus lost her opportunity to reach the Mahayana Realm.”

“For Female cultivators, the first Emperor treated them like toys, pretty and rare, he collected them all. He can choose not to use them, but he has to have them.”

From Yu Yin’s statement, the other women nodded in agreement. Some concubines admired the greatness of the first Emperor sincerely and wanted to win his favor, but they did not.”

They did not like the first Emperor.”

“Previously, the first Emperor acted without any restrictions, wanting to act as he pleased.”

“Since more than a decade ago, on the eve of the establishment of the Immortal Court, he underwent ground-breaking changes.”

“He only focused on three things: managing governmental affairs, seeking fragments of the heavenly ladder to immortality, and cultivating spiritual practice.”

“Since the first Emperor collected us, he has never cultivated with us, even once. Although some concubines hoped to receive his favor, he said that our status as cultivators was too low and that practicing with us would slow him down.”

Jiang Li: “…..”

The first Emperor turning into a cultivation fanatic might have something to do with him.

In reality, Jiang Li himself was also a cultivation fanatic, it’s just that he regarded routine tasks, including food and drink, and day-to-day activities as part of cultivation. Therefore, he didn’t need to shut the world out specially.

This was related to Jiang Li’s mental state, which was the highest state of cultivation. It was something that neither the first Emperor nor idle people could achieve.

Even if the first Emperor had practiced cultivation for 300 years same as Jiang Li, he still couldn’t compete with Jiang Li.”

Jiang Li practiced without interruption for 300 years, other things did not affect his cultivation.”

The first Emperor couldn’t do it. He could not have been without any other matter in these 300 years.”

“Could you tell me about the first Emperor’s past?” Jiang Li wanted to understand himself in parallel worlds from multiple perspectives. The banned books gave a brief description of the first Emperor, which wasn’t as much as Yu Yin knew.”

This topic wasn’t an easy one, it could even be described as painful, Yu Yin could have refused, but considering it was Jiang Li’s request, she agreed.”

“At the very beginning, Bai Hongtu, the first Emperor, and I were all candidates for the Human Emperor. We were good friends. He was assertive and always said that he wanted to become the strongest, to become a superior person. Bai Hongtu and I didn’t take it seriously, thinking he was just blowing smoke.”

“I wonder when his attitude started to become distant… yes, it was when he ascended to the Mahayana Realm and easily defeated the Heavenly Demon.”

“Easily defeating the Heavenly Demon is the goal of all Human Emperors, and it’s a goal he already accomplished.”

“He realized suddenly he was so powerful, the protector of the nine provinces, the nine provinces could not be without him, he was on a different level than anyone else, nobody could restrain him.”

“Gradually, he distanced himself from everyone, became increasingly arrogant, and our relationship turned into a superior-subordinate one.”

After the narration by Yu Yin, Jiang Li sighed.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Why don’t you tell us about your story? Your personality seems to be completely different from the first Emperor. What’s your world like?” Yu Yin smiled, not wanting to continue discussing the topic.”

Jiang Li noticed that Yu Yin’s smile was forced.”

“I am a bit unconventional, and so is my world…”

Jiang Li started talking from the time he passed the 15th Immortal tribulation. The completely different life compared to the first Emperor unfolded slowly before the women as Jiang Li narrated methodically.”

“…That’s the way it is. I learned the Law of Spontaneous Word Formation from you, found all the fragments of the Immortal Ladder, used the Immortal Ladder to find the Immortal Realm again…”

“…After the annihilation of the Immortal Realm, the Nine Provinces began to explore the Ten Thousand Realms with peace of mind, up until today…”

“So that’s what I am like in a parallel world.” Yu Yin was filled with thoughts.”

In Jiang Li’s world, she learned “The Law of Spontaneous Word Formation” from the Great Confucian Word Post, studied the Way of Melody from the Melodic Mystery Domain, and combined the two, resulting in the understanding of the Law of Spontaneous Word Formation.”

On the other hand, in the world of the first Emperor, the Immortal Artifacts developed spiritual intelligence, and he destroyed the Great Confucian Word Post. Hence, Yu Yin lost the opportunity from the very start.”

Now, Yu Yin doesn’t even know the Way of Melody. Without the first Emperor’s permission, these concubines in the harem cannot leave the inner court, let alone talking about going to the Melodic Mystery Domain for study.”

Therefore, the first Emperor does not know the Law of Spontaneous Word Formation, either.”

“I wonder what his reaction would be when the first Emperor found out that his arbitrary decisions cost him the chance to find the Immortal Realm?”

Yu Yin chuckled, picturing the first Emperor’s furious reaction.”

“From the way you describe it, I really want to see the world where you come from.” The saintess Pure Heart revealed a longing look. The world Jiang Li described was lively and differed entirely from the first Emperor.”

Even Bai Hongtu dared to joke with Jiang Li from time to time, something they could not even dare to imagine.”

Who could dare to joke with the first Emperor here? That would be asking for death.”

“Would you like to meet Bai Hongtu?” Yu Yin enquired.”

Bai Hongtu was one of the first Emperor’s key ministers.”

Jiang Li shook his head. The Bai Hongtu here was far too different from his impression.”

The Bai Hongtu here was calm, reliable, and serious… According to Yu Yin’s description, this was not Bai Hongtu’s original nature; these were changes forced by the pressure from the first Emperor.”

Jiang Li could not bear to see the Bai Hongtu here.”

“Where is the first Emperor?”

“He went to other worlds to seek fragments of the Immortal Ladder. Are you trying to find him?” There was a hint of nervousness among the women.”

Unlike Jiang Li, who had already uninstalled the system, the first Emperor was still diligently completing tasks.”

Jiang Li saw their concern and reassured, “I am a little stronger than the first Emperor. You don’t need to worry about my safety. Instead of worrying about me, perhaps you should be worried about the first Emperor.”

Jiang Li, with a smile, patted the heads of Li Nian’er, Ji Kongkong, and Yu Youxian, “Such young children being held captive, it’s a shame for your cultivation talents.”

The first Emperor did not initiate the selection for Human Emperor Candidates. Considering himself the sole Emperor, he would never select a successor.”

“The first Emperor has always been practicing hard, just to surpass me.”

Yu Yin believed what Jiang Li had to say. After providing him with the coordinates, Jiang Li received the location of the first Emperor’s world, waved goodbye to the women, and left.”

“Are we going to see each other again?” The women asked. Being with Jiang Li, they felt at ease and comfortable.”

From what Jiang Li had said, he did not even have a love interest. They didn’t know why. There should be many female cultivators admiring him.”

Was it that he didn’t understand romantic feelings, or did he choose not to have romantic relationships?”

“After I have dealt with the Black Tide, we can have a chat at leisure. Goodbye.”
