Chapter 763: Chapter 762: 9 Years

“Your world has already established order, there’s no need to rush towards higher goals. Right now, the most important thing is to maintain and reinforce that existing order.”

“If you run too fast, you might trip and fall.” Sister Mother Earth said with a laugh. Her smile was infectious, making people instinctively believe her words.

A man eating a candied hawthorn stick strolled into the teahouse and spotted the lively Sister Mother Earth.

“Mother Earth, it’s been a few years since we last met. How come you’re still in Jiu Zhou?”

Jiang Li remembered nine years ago when he asked Mother Earth to go to Jiu Zhou and let everyone know that he was going to a parallel world, and that they should not worry.

But now nine years have passed, Mother Earth is still in Jiu Zhou.

Who is in charge of the Underworld now?

“Well, I told them that you would return after nine years. What if you didn’t return on time? Shouldn’t I be responsible and keep my word?” Mother Earth said sincerely.

Jiang Li looked at Mother Earth with suspicion, suspecting that she simply did not want to return to the Underworld.

“Has the matter in the parallel world come to an end?”

“Things are pretty much wrapped up. It was quite an eye-opener.”

Jiang Li puckered up his mouth: “What is this about the parallel world in ‘The Chronicles of Emperor Jiang’?”

He hadn’t returned ever since all these years, how could anyone know what he had experienced in the parallel world?

“You should never underestimate the power of people’s imagination.”

“…”

No wonder these tales seem so strange. It turns out they’re all made up.

Jiang Li usually never doubted the power of people’s imagination, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many volumes of “The Chronicles of Emperor Jiang”, all of which were written with the utmost certainty that they were depicting his genuine experiences.

Jiang Li almost thought that he was the one suffering from a significant memory issue.

“Sister Mother Earth, who is this burly man?”

The two communicated through divine sense, something the young princess couldn’t comprehend.

Mother Earth didn’t say anything, implying that Jiang Li should introduce himself.

“My name is Zhong Li.”

Mother Earth sported an expression as if she understood why, she didn’t introduce Jiang Li because she didn’t know what surname he goes by now.

“This is the young princess from the Spiral World, visiting Jiu Zhou for gastronomy and learning.”

“Welcome, welcome.”

For some unknown reason, the young princess felt privileged upon hearing Liu Li’s welcome.

“Let’s go on. You’ve seen enough of ‘The Chronicles of Emperor Jiang’. If we try to finish each part, the young princess here will grow into a queen.” Mother Earth called out to the young princess and Jiang Li.

Tremendous changes had taken place in Jiu Zhou in these nine years, even Jiang Li wasn’t as familiar with the current Jiu Zhou as Mother Earth was.

On the way, Jiang Li saw many people from other worlds. Some were tourists, some were adventurers, and some were learners, all with different purposes.

All of them were fluent in the language of Jiu Zhou, haggling with street vendors.

Jiu Zhou does not force dwellers of other worlds to learn its language. However, if people from other worlds want to gain advanced experiences, they should proactively learn the language of Jiu Zhou.

“Take a look, take a look. Massive sale for Body Integration Realm Cultivation Techniques, buy three, get two for free, we have all types.”

The vendor’s shout attracted the young princess’s attention. Body Integration Realm Cultivation Techniques are rare in their world. Without rigorous evaluations, one does not even have a chance to look at them.

Unexpectedly, Jiu Zhou has these military manuals even at roadside stalls.

The accompanying guards have a high cultivation level. They flipped through some of the manuals and found out that they are all genuine and the types are indeed all-encompassing.

“How much?”

“Ten low-grade spirit stones per manual, buy three get two free.”

“It’s so cheap!” The guards’ eyes lit up, they couldn’t help wanting to buy everything from the stall. If they took all these manuals back home, it would be a great achievement.

Mother Earth sneered: “Don’t buy these. These are the nascent versions of Body Integration Realm cultivation techniques, intended to swindle tourists like you. These techniques have been updated with countless revisions to remedy their weaknesses ever since they have been made public, so these current copies are saddled with anachronisms.”

“If you want to buy any, go to a standard place.”

The guards immediately stopped, thanking Mother Earth for the reminder – the spirit stones for buying all the manuals were not much, but being deceived would be considered disgraceful.

After walking a few steps further, Mother Earth took a jade pendant from a booth and handed it to the young princess: “If you want to take some souvenirs back, this is not a bad choice.”

“What is this?”

“Infuse it with some spiritual energy and try.”

The young princess did as instructed. Countless points of light appeared in mid-air, like stars in the night sky. Thin light-beams connected the dots, one of which was peculiar – it was the brightest and largest, serving as the convergence point of all light beams.

“This is the map of all the Heavenly Domains and myriad realms. The brightest spot represents Jiu Zhou, and as for your world… it’s right here.” Mother Earth helped the young princess locate the position of their world.

Mother Earth gently tapped on the light point which expanded, revealing the full view of the young princess’s world.

“Only Jiu Zhou has the ability to produce this map. Every tourist to Jiu Zhou will buy a copy as a souvenir,” said the vendor standing aside.

“The ones I sell are all authentic products from the Imperial Palace.”

Mother Earth bought one and gave it to the young princess.

Next, Mother Earth brought everyone to a school where an educator was teaching the innocent student chanting cultivation techniques.

“What they are chanting is ‘The Five Elements Qi Cultivation Verse (Upper Volume)’, which was personally formulated by Emperor Jiang. This technique has raised the standard for common people in Jiu Zhou from the third layer of Qi Cultivation to the sixth layer.”

The young princess and the escorts had noticed earlier on that the cultivation level of the people in Jiu Zhou was incredibly high. The very minimum was the sixth layer of Qi cultivation. This, in their world, would qualify them to become elders in minor sects, yet here in Jiu Zhou, they were just ordinary citizens.

“Upper volume? What about the middle and lower volumes?” The young princess asked.

Jiang Li chuckled, “They exist, they’re just not released yet.”

During his time in the parallel world, he learnt the complete method of Three Corpse Severance from the Great Daoist, thereby deriving the Middle and Lower Volumes of ‘The Five Elements Qi Cultivation Verse’.

If these techniques could be propagated, the standards for ordinary people in Jiu Zhou would be elevated to the Foundation Establishment Stage!

On hearing this, Mother Earth was quite astounded. She glanced at Jiang Li, then instantly guessed what he must have gone through.

Mother Earth was a qualified tour guide. She introduced the customs and changes in Jiu Zhou thoroughly to the young princess. Not just the young princess, even the escorts fell under the spell of her narration.

Jiang Li wore a consistent smile, staying silent, merely listening attentively.

The progress of Jiu Zhou and the myriad realms were even better than he had imagined.

Jiang Li cast his divine sense all over the city, and found that the rate of criminal activities was extremely low. Everyone abided by the law.

This place was no longer the Zhou Dynasty, but was once the tumultuous Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.

“Yu Yin has done a good job.”

Jiang Li gave a stretch and bid farewell to Mother Earth: “Mother Earth, I am going back to the Imperial Palace.”

“Go ahead, go ahead.” Mother Earth foresaw Jiang Li saying this.

Watching Jiang Li’s figure vanish in an instant, the stuttering young princess asked: “Sister Mother Earth, what…who exactly is that man?”

She clearly heard him saying that he wanted to check on the Imperial Palace.

“Him? Oh, he is Jiang Li.” Mother Earth responded with a smile.

“What?!”
