Chapter 438: Chapter 437: Breaking the Record for Fastest Task Completion
After the conference, many forces approached representatives from other worlds, hoping to establish deep cooperation with them.
Some of the cooperatives were reliable, and some weren’t.
Li Er was the most unreliable of all.
Li Er successively approached Luo Ying and Bu Jing, asking if they could rent out their universe to the Body-incorporating Sect to host football-like competitions.
Naturally, Luo Ying and the others refused.
A group of people with Dharma Appearances kicking planets around would cause normal people to have heart attacks from the shock.
No one could bear something like that.
Fortunately, most were more dependable.
For instance, the Feiyun Commerce Association approached Ming Zhong World and made a generous offer, hoping to reach a deep cooperation agreement and become its agent.
Ming Zhong politely replied that it would require further consideration. They understood the value of their world’s technological products, which were bustling with immense allure for the Worlds of Nine Provinces, and knew there wasn’t just the Feiyun Commerce Association who had their sights set on them.
Furthermore, forming an agreement now when things like the tax rate and importing and exporting lists hadn’t been sorted out properly was too hasty.
Seeing Ming Zhong’s response, the Feiyun Commerce Association regretted their decision. Ming Zhong’s refusal of their proposal meant that they had to make a more attractive offer to get his attention.
They had originally planned on getting a good deal, but it was now clear that they would have to participate in the bidding process sincerely.
The Martial Emperor Dynasty reached out to the Bu Jing and Bu Dong brothers.
The Martial Emperor Dynasty advocated martial arts and body cultivation. They would integrate martial arts and Celestial Dao, complementing each other, with the Celestial Dao as the primary aspect and martial arts as support, ultimately reaching Transcendance Tribulation Stage using martial arts and breaking through the boundaries to ascend.
In history, the Martial Emperor Dynasty had given rise to two old ancestors who had reached the stage through their martial arts.
This number wasn’t very high; among the ascension history of the Nine Great Emperor Dynasties, it ranked at the bottom.
Moreover, in recent centuries, there hadn’t been any top-notch body cultivators from the Martial Emperor Dynasty either.
Five hundred years ago, Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu, and Yu Yin overwhelmingly occupied the top three places among body cultivators. After these three reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, Zhang Konghu and the Four Seas Dragon King quickly advanced, becoming top-notch body cultivators.
From the perspective of the Martial Emperor Dynasty, this was a slap in the face.
After getting slapped, the Martial Emperor Dynasty was reflective and felt that perhaps they had taken the wrong path.
At this juncture, Bu Jing, a pure martial arts genius, was especially important.
Regarding the understanding of martial arts, Bu Jing surpassed everyone else.
When the Martial Emperor fought with Bu Jing, their grand battle in the universe left the former increasingly in awe.
He was a cultivator at the early stage of the Fusion Stage, only using his physical body and not utilising mana, divine skills, or the destiny of the nation. Yet, he was able to fight on par with Bu Jing.
This was Bu Jing’s first combat with someone at the same stage; he wasn’t familiar with how people at this stage fought. Initially, he was at a disadvantage, but as the exchange of blows increased, his experience rapidly accumulated and he adjusted to the rhythm, holding steady against the Martial Emperor.
When Bu Jing realised that he was about to win, he promptly stopped the fight.
“Why did you stop fighting?” the Martial Emperor was puzzled.
Bu Jing shook his head: “Our battle was only to understand each other. Going this far should be enough.”
In reality, Bu Jing was unfamiliar with the kind of person the Martial Emperor was; he was worried that if the Martial Emperor were to lose, he would not want to cooperate with the Ring Universe, or even pull off some tricks during the cooperation.
Instead of having this uncertainty, it would be better to not continue the fight.
Being a cunning man, the Martial Emperor knew that Bu Jing was trying to avoid embarrassing him, and thus had a favorable impression of the martial artist.
The Martial Emperor invited the brothers Bu Jing and Bu Dong to visit the Martial Emperor Dynasty to discuss martial arts and the cooperation with the Ring Universe in detail.
The Sect Master of the Beast-controlling Sect found Little Qing and Xia Chao and proposed that he would like to go to Lingxi World for a visit.
The White Marsh Emperor promptly followed up, stating that he would like to go back to Lingxi World to see the current situation.
Clearly, the Beast-controlling Sect and the White Marsh Emperor Dynasty wanted to cooperate with Lingxi World.
Of course, Little Qing and Xia Chao welcomed them, these two factions had strong bonds with the Demon Race, and they could rely on the White Marsh Emperor, an elder figure who had helped them grow.
The Sect Master of the Beast-controlling Sect and the White Marsh Emperor exchanged a glance, their fighting spirits high. Their contest was not over anything else, but over the placement of the space passage.
The Brahma Heaven Tower could only maintain a limited number of space passages; it could only provide one for Lingxi World.
The choice of the space passage had thus become paramount to the cooperation.
Apart from these forces, there were also other major and minor factions who came forward, hoping to preach in their world, etc.
Frequent exchanges were a good thing, so Jiang Li did not stop them. He only had one requirement: all cooperations needed to be filed with the Human Emperor’s Imperial Palace.
Suddenly, Jiang Li heard the mechanical voice of the system.
[Officially initiating the special mission: Road of the Human Emperor. Please become the Human Emperor, Host.]
[Mission Reward: One copy of the ‘Chaotic Classic’]
[Start of the special mission: Road of the Human Emperor (Part 1): The Human Emperor has sustained hidden injuries while resisting the Heavenly Demons, which are difficult to heal. He felt that the hidden injuries might relapse and become fatal. Because of this, he held a ceremony to select the Human Emperor.]
[Please become a candidate for the Human Emperor Post]
[Mission Reward: A complete set of the Human Emperor’s Cultivation Technique ‘Three Words Technique’]
[The special mission: Road of the Human Emperor (Part 1) has been completed]
[…Testing… Testing…Unable to understand…Releasing special mission: Road of the Human Emperor (Part 2)…]
[Releasing special mission: Road of the Human Emperor (Part 2): …]
[Releasing special mission: Road of the Human Emperor (Part 3): …]
…
[Special mission: Road of the Human Emperor (Part 33): The Human Emperor’s hidden injuries relapse, leading to his sudden death. You didn’t get to see him one last time. There is a longstanding enmity between the Martial Emperor from Martial Emperor Dynasty and the Sect Hierarch from Qingtian Sect. After the sudden death of the Human Emperor, their feud has completely exploded, resulting in a fierce fight. The Martial Emperor, by relying on the nation’s destiny, temporarily became a Transcendance Tribulation Stage and fought against the Sect Hierarch of Qingtian Sect, who was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage too, causing the Worlds of Nine Provinces to be drenched in blood.]
[Please stop the Martial Emperor and the Sect Hierarch of Qingtian Sect from fighting, and hold on till the arrival of Liu, the commander of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.]
[Mission Reward: Divine Head Baptism, upgrading the cultivation base of the host to Transcendance Tribulation Stage]
[…Testing…]
[Detected that the host has become the Human Emperor, has completed the special mission: Road of the Human Emperor]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the special mission: Road of the Human Emperor, and becoming the seventy-second Human Emperor]
[Would the host like to accept the final mission reward for the Road of the Human Emperor, the ‘Chaotic Classic’?]
“Has the damn system finally broken down to this extent?” Jiang Li was speechless. This was the most that the system had ever spoken, and it was also the quickest completion of tasks ever.
Normally, due to the time discrepancy of the system, even when he completed the task, he had to wait foolishly for the system to release a new task according to its arranged time.
Now, it was much better as it had delivered all thirty-three tasks at once. He did not even have to do them; the system skipped all and judged that he was the Human Emperor, completing the “Road of the Human Emperor” directly.
“It’s surprisingly being human-like for once.”
“Is it because this is a special mission and the release conditions are different from regular missions?” Jiang Li casually guessed, feeling that he could never understand the logic of this silly system.
He was, after all, a normal person and could not stoop down to the level of this silly system to consider from its perspective.
“Maybe I should give this system to Bai Hong. As one silly person to another, they should have a common language.” Jiang Li pondered.
“Accept the final mission reward.”
A scroll of Cultivation Technique bearing an ethereal aura flutters into Jiang Li’s hand, with the words ‘Chaotic Classic’ conspicuously written on it.
