Chapter 477: Chapter 476: Even Dreaming is Illegal

The leaders of the major forces were anxious, not daring to rush over to see the battle results. They strained their eyes, observing the injuries of the two.

“Can someone with good eyesight help to see, Jiang Li the Human Emperor seems to be covered in blood, have we succeeded?”

“That seems to be Bai Hongtu’s blood, Jiang Li hasn’t lost even a single strand of hair.”

Within the Remote Communication Talisman, everyone was engrossed in a heated discussion, eager to obtain first-hand information.

“Indeed, a drop of blood from the Human Emperor contains infinite energy, this does not seem like the Emperor’s blood.”

“…I say, does no one care about White Master who was dragged back?”

“Master Wu Zhi is truly compassionate. However, facing Jiang the Human Emperor in battle, I expect that Sect Master Bai Hongtu has already prepared himself for a beating.”

“Master Wu Zhi, don’t worry. In the final test of the Human Emperor candidacy, the intensity of the battle between Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu was far more severe than this. Compared to that time, Bai Hongtu’s injuries now are but minor ones.”

“If Queen Yu Yin says so, then there’s no need to worry about Bai Hongtu.”

“Ji Zhi, did you already foresee the outcome?”

“Of course.”

“Then why are you still providing energy so enthusiastically?”

“Isn’t watching Bai Hongtu getting beaten up one more time profitable?”

“Indeed.”

“It makes sense.”

…

When Bai Hongtu gradually came to senses, he recalled himself fighting the Heavenly Demon from outside the domain and returning defeated. He couldn’t help shedding tears and sobbing uncontrollably.

“Everyone… I have let you down!”

Jiang Li’s voice rang out beside him: “Your sacrifice was not in vain. To honor your contribution, everyone unanimously decided to rename the Dao Sect to the Mourning Sect.”

“Get lost.”

Bai Hongtu was so mad at Jiang Li that he sprang up like a wounded tiger.

“The effect of the Spirit Plant Array really took me by surprise, it actually managed to boost the Transcendance Tribulation Stage up to the Heavenly Immortal level.”

“Yet, it still couldn’t break your defense.” Bai Hongtu said, dispirited.

“It couldn’t be helped. Even though I adjusted my power to match yours, my physical strength remained unchanged, and it couldn’t be changed.”

Jiang Li’s battle talent ranked first in the nine continents, slightly better than Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin, but only by a slight bit.

When they were all candidates for the Human Emperor, Jiang Li had several real fights with Yu Yin and Bai Hongtu, and got to know them well, fully aware of their rare battle skills.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were the last two candidates for the Human Emperor. Jiang Li still can’t forget the process of their battle for the position of the Human Emperor.

Yu Yin didn’t make it till the end. It wasn’t that her ability was inferior to Bai Hongtu, but that she had pre-calculated all possible outcomes of the battle with Jiang Li in advance and found that there was no way she could win, which led her to give up the fight for the position of Human Emperor.

Bai Hongtu also did the calculations, and came up with the same conclusion, but he was determined to have a fight with Jiang Li, being stubborn as he was.

The result was exactly as calculated, he was no match for Jiang Li.

“This time the power of the Spirit Plant Array was not exerted to its limit. An Immortal Artifact can also be added to the Spirit Array. When that happens, even if a few Heavenly Immortals come, I would stand some winning chances.”

“Right now, half of the Immortal Artifacts are exploring unknown worlds and can’t be used for the demonstration.”

“Let’s leave it until next time. I just finished exploring an unknown world with Li Er and the gourd. If we are lucky, the Great Confucian Word Post, Heshan Stone and the Four Seas Dragon Balls would soon be done.”

“In that case, I’m relieved.” Bai Hongtu nodded, remained silent for a while, and then asked, “When can you let me down?”

When Bai Hongtu woke up, he discovered that he wasn’t lying in bed, but was hanged on a tree by Jiang Li with a rope, surrounded by disciples and elders pointing and discussing.

Bai Hongtu really wanted to ignore them all, regardless of how strong-willed he was, it was impossible.

“While you were fighting just now, you developed a hysteria, claiming that you defeated me and Yu Yin and became the 72nd Human Emperor. I thought you might have a brain ischemia causing hallucinations, so I hanged you on a tree to improve your brain’s blood circulation.”

“There’s no need to thank me for my thoughtfulness.”

Grinding his teeth, Bai Hongtu said, “Thank you.”

“I’m sober now, can you let me down?” Bai Hongtu didn’t want to hang on the tree like a dead pig anymore.

“Of course you can.” Jiang Li cut the rope.

“Everyone disperse, there’s nothing to see here.” To save some face for Bai Hongtu, Jiang Li drove everyone away, Bai Hongtu was quite moved by this gesture.

Even though it was him who called everyone over in the first place.

“Hall Master, there might be a matter needing your decision.” Commander Liu contacted Jiang Li in a relaxed manner.

“What is it?”

“A moment ago, Emperor Zhou contacted me, saying there are quite a few female cultivators in Da Zhou having dreams, and Da Zhou wishes to regulate it. They asked whether or not the Imperial Palace will be in charge.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were both curious: “Why this matter of dreaming falls onto the Imperial Palace?”

Commander Liu looked around, seeing that in the large main hall of the Imperial Palace there was only him and no guard to report to, he felt relieved.

Lowering his voice, he said, “They’re having erotic dreams and the male lead was you.”

“???”

Jiang Li felt more enlightened by this occurrence than by witnessing the Spirit Plant Array.

Bai Hongtu also felt that he had lost.

“You ought to know that some cultivators cultivate the Dream Path, either for fighting or making money.”

“Indeed, I knew about that. However, I didn’t have much interaction with the latter.” Jiang Li, during his candidacy for the Human Emperor, had met with several cultivators of the Dream Path, they fought in dreams, and Jiang Li, by smartly using various tactics, won several times.

Injury in dream battles can reflect on the body, for example, the First Emperor took several thunder strikes from Jiang Li in the dream, and the real him got injured because of it.

The more serious situation being, death in dreams directly caused real-life death.

Cultivators who don’t understand the Dream Path often find it mysterious.

In order to cultivate, one often earns Spirit Stones and other cultivation resources using their adept techniques. For example, an Alchemist earns money by selling pills, an Artifact Refiner earns money by selling Spiritual Treasures, and a Dream Path Cultivator earns money by selling dreams.

Cultivators of the Dream Path can customize dreams according to customer needs.

The freedom of dreams is quite high. It has always been a gray industry and Da Zhou found it inconvenient to manage.

As a result, the customized dreams became more and more liberal, until recently, a certain case involved several Dream Path Cultivators. According to their confessions, a large number of female cultivators are seeking Dream Path cultivators to customize dreams involving intimacy with Jiang Li.

The steamy level of the intimacy had reached a not suitable for children level.

If it was in the previous life, no one would care about what kind of dreams you have, but this was a Cultivation World, where dreams can be customized.

Dreams are like writing a novel, they can be healthy or unhealthy.

Dreams involving Jiang Li naturally fell into the unhealthy category, requiring regulation.

When Ji Zhi got the message, after pondering for a while, he felt that the matter was a bit tricky and better to be dealt with by the Imperial Palace.

He didn’t believe such things only happened in Da Zhou, it must have occurred in other countries as well.

Jiang Li always felt that his strength was adequate, but his experiences were too limited, and he always encountered unexpected situations.

If there were levels in the imaginations of the cultivators in the nine continents, he would rate them a Mahayana level imagination.
