868 Return of the Human Emperor (2)
She would definitely not be willing to drag Jiang Li down at any time.
Originally, with her heavy injuries, if she relaxed her mind, she would definitely faint on the ground and might not wake up for a month.
However, Jiang Li’s immortal spirit qi was ridiculously powerful, and it directly blew away the injuries on her body.
It even made her a little energetic. Not to mention fainting, she would probably not be able to sleep for ten days.
With such an exaggerated effect, she was naturally worried that Jiang Li would expend too much energy.
“It’s fine. When have I ever lacked spiritual qi?”
After stabilizing Shenshan Qiuhua, he looked at the 20 pillars that were trembling in excitement.
The blood jade bricks under his feet were probably very difficult to reverse.
The best place to return to might be to build a reincarnation cycle and let them enter it, giving them a chance to be reborn.
However, there was a difference between immortals and mortals. There was a high chance that the 20 Immortals and Buddhas could still be saved.
After becoming an immortal, as long as they did not die completely, as long as they were given a chance, they could crawl out of the tomb themselves.
In order to let these 20 Immortals and Buddhas maintain their greatest strength after refining them into stone pillars, Jiang Ziya did not refine them too thoroughly.
This gave Jiang Li a chance to save them.
The current Human Emperor waved his hand, and an immortal qi scattered out from his hand and landed on the twenty stone pillars. Immediately, the surface of the blood-colored stone pillar shattered inch by inch.
Twenty balls of blood immediately broke out of the seal and danced in the air, venting the fear of being made into stone pillars.
The experience of being refined into building materials was really not very friendly.
They had really thought that they would be trapped in the stone pillar forever.
Fortunately, the current Human Emperor rushed back in time.
“Thank you for stalling for time for me.”
“Come here now. I’ll help you reconstruct your bodies!”
“Great Ultimate! Yin-Yang Reversal!”
The Taiji symbol appeared in his hand again. However, this time, the Yin-Yang Fish was spinning in reverse.
A pillar of light shot out from the Taiji symbol and shone on the 20 blurry energy balls, immediately causing their statuses to reverse.
As if placed in reverse, they returned to their original state in a few breaths.
During that period of time in the 18 levels of hell, under the terrifying flow of time, besides cultivating the Infinite Dao Soul and accumulating an unimaginable amount of immortal qi, Jiang Li’s greatest gain was his comprehension of the Great Ultimate Principle.
After all, the status of [Epiphany (Fuxi’s Great Ultimate)] did not restrict how much he could comprehend per second.
He had spent a million years under hell and had comprehended it for a million years.
This kind of time span that was easily an astronomical figure was usually an experience that only those mighty figures from ancient times had.
Jiang Li’s comprehension was passable. After a million years of epiphany, he had already fully comprehended the principle within the Great Ultimate Stone disc.
Unfortunately, the upper limit of this status was all that was left behind in the stone disc. If he wanted to advance further, he would have to break through the 33 Heavens and search for the Land of Chaos to comprehend it.
However, it was enough for now.
As one of the Connate Five Greats, the power of the Great Ultimate was not simple.
It was one of the laws of the world.
If one comprehended it to the depths, they could even turn something useless into something magical. Just like the legends, it was not impossible to cut apart the world and create a new continent in the Nine Provinces or even open a small world.
“City Lord Jiang, I’m sorry that we couldn’t last three days.”
“Thank you for your help, City Lord Jiang.”
“Human Emperor, please forgive Yinglong’s previous disrespect!”
The 20 immortals recovered their bodies and their faces were filled with a pleasant surprise. They immediately came up to greet him.
Of course, the Ten Kings of Hell still shared a body like before.
Previously, they were still regretting choosing to help Jiang Li. Fortunately, they were unable to speak when they became stone pillars.
Otherwise, it would be awkward now.
In the beginning, they agreed to last for three days, but in fact, they were all defeated in less than two days.
Three days was really a little difficult for them.
In the cultivation world of individual strength, the gap between immortals could also be very large.
If not for Qin Shuman being smart and using the Back Yin Mountain to cut off that guy’s shadow, causing the strength of the Evil God Jiang Ziya to decrease, who knew what would’ve become of them?
Jiang Li’s three days was only a conservative estimate.
The process of seizing the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, the Nine Nether Wood, was much smoother than he had imagined.
As a result, he came out from below in advance.
However, when he looked up, a thick dark cloud gathered above.
His body was now filled to the brim and could no longer suppress the process of becoming an immortal.
It was not only him. The Yin Burial Coffin in his arms was also about to advance to an immortal artifact!
Of course, if he was only an ordinary immortal like Qiu Shui or Ling Zhuzi, the three calamities of becoming an immortal would not happen immediately.
They would still let him live freely for 500 years before sending a calamity every 500 years. If he could survive it, his lifespan would be as long as the heavens.
However, Jiang Li was the same as the previous Evil God Jiang Ziya. Clearly, he was not something that ordinary Immortals and Gods could compare to. Once he appeared, there would definitely be a heavenly tribulation to liven things up.
In fact, he had already enjoyed the Yin Fire before he became an immortal.
Jiang Li had just come out earlier and leaked his aura when it immediately attracted the lightning tribulation.
After all, there was a Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth in his body now. Four of the five qi in his chest were Connate items. In fact, the Human Fire inherited the providence of the human race and was not inferior at all. It was even better!
It was only right for Jiang Li to face the Great Heaven Lightning of the Ten Directions Desolate Region.
“Retreat. I’ll transcend the tribulation and become an immortal first before dealing with that guy.”
Since the heavenly tribulation had already begun to brew, there was no room for rest.
He raised his hand and tapped the space between his brows. Then, he struck out a Great Ultimate Light Barrier and landed on the Jade Void Platform. Then, an immortal qi sent them far away.
After sending them to a safe distance, Jiang Li completely released his aura and faced the lightning calamity cloud above.
However, at this moment, a head poked out from the spatial hole that had sent Jiang Ziya flying.
“Foolish kid!”
“You didn’t hide and find a place to secretly transcend the tribulation. You actually came back at this time for a woman. This time, you’re courting death!”
The evil god that filled the hole in its stomach quietly returned to the Nine Provinces.
An evil light jade scepter condensed in his hand and was thrown towards Jiang Li who was undergoing the tribulation.
“City Lord! Be careful!”
Ling Zhuzi, who had the sharpest eyes, hurriedly raised his cultivation level.
When the jade scepter was about to strike Jiang Li, a shadow suddenly flashed out and blocked in front of him.
A violent explosion spread.
The figure was blasted into pieces, but before the aftershock completely dissipated, the parts that were blasted apart automatically condensed into a ball.
It was strictly forbidden to return to human form.
The jade scepter attack actually did not cause any damage to it.
Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Ziya with disdain. With a wave of his sleeve, another 17 figures flew out and surrounded Jiang Ziya.
They also emitted the aura of about to advance to the Ghost Immortal realm at the same time. This clearly stimulated the lightning calamity cloud above, and the area it rolled doubled.
These were the 18 Infinite Dao Ghosts. It was a pity to leave them in hell so Jiang Li brought them out together.
“Kid, you don’t know how to transform! The calamity of becoming an immortal is already 90% fatal. Now, you’re releasing these 18 ghosts. You’re courting death!”
Jiang Ziya could not understand Jiang Li’s actions.
However, the current Human Emperor did not care about this at all.
Taking out the remaining few jade cauldrons, Jiang Li poured all of the Human Emperor’s Blood into his stomach.
At this moment, he had truly become the Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces!
At the same time, a bolt of lightning that emitted a purple-gold light instantly descended from the sky.
Accompanied by a scream, a figure was charred.
However, that person was not Jiang Li, but Jiang Ziya who was the only person not facing the calamity.
Didn’t this guy know how much negative karma he had accumulated in the world? How dare he run in when there was a calamity brewing? Wasn’t this asking for trouble?
