BXBX NOVEL Chapter 304: 303
“Just to be clear, my communication talisman was taken by my kid to play with, I had nothing to do with this.”
“My communication talisman broke after it was soaked in water, it connected on its own, I didn’t say a word.”
“I’m old, never used a communication talisman before, how do you use this… oh, it’s already connected.”
“I am a thief, I stole treasures from the Four Sea Dragon Palace, this is my first time using it, the Four Sea Dragon Palace has no idea about this.”
Only Ji Zhi’s words were different from the others, “I’ve seen the result with my heavy pupils, I came to watch the fun.”
Bai Hongtu groaned angrily, “Ji Zhi you bloody… ”
“Everyone, relax. Bai Hongtu’s idea is great. I’m not angry.” Seeing that the crowd was pretending to be ignorant and retreating, Jiang Li tried to comfort them.
“Although the Nine Provinces Spirit Plant Array couldn’t defeat me, as a secret weapon to protect the Nine Provinces, it still has its uses.”
Bai Hongtu felt there was something wrong with Jiang Li’s words.
“This matter can safeguard the Nine Provinces, the Imperial Palace should also contribute. After the meeting, I’ll assign two competent commanders to be in charge of this.”
Jiang Li planned to find something for the couple Ma Zhuo to do.
Jiang Li took Bai Hongtu’s Spirit Plant Array blueprint, clarified with those present what needs to be done, defined boundaries, explained responsibilities.
“The Red Dust Pure Land you live in is unique and it is inconvenient to set up formations in. You could use the entire Red Dust Pure Land as the array eye, with the immortal peach tree as the eye of the eye. Can you do that?”
Stared at by Jiang Li, the Holy Maiden Pure Heart blushed and whispered agreement.
“We can.”
When Jiang Li had arranged everything, he let everyone leave.
Everyone left dejectedly, it seemed they were disappointed they didn’t manage to trick Jiang Li.
“Old Bai, you stay.” Jiang Li called, scaring Bai Hongtu into thinking that Jiang Li wanted to fight him to the death.
“Do you know where the Peak Master of Artifact Refinement Peak is?”
“What are you looking for him for?”
“I picked up some clothes on the side of the road, I think they might be his, I want to return them to him.”
“What kind of clothes?”
“Invisibility clothes.”
“The name sounds pretty normal, not like him … ”
“Only the clothes can make you invisible.”
“It must be something he refined.”
“Is he at Artifact Refinement Peak?”
“No, he is not there, he’s out on a business trip.”
“Where did he go? I will find him.”
Bai Hongtu made a strange face: “Union Sect, you really sure you want to go?”
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, believing himself to be a man who keeps his word.
“You come with me.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu met on the way to Union Sect, and they casually chatted.
“Do you know about the Three Corpses Cultivation Method?”
Bai Hongtu curiously looked at Jiang Li, not sure why he asked the question: “I have a general idea, but I don’t know how to cultivate it.”
“If you want to learn how to wield the Three Corpses Beheading Method, I won’t be able to teach you. I fear even our ancient teacher wouldn’t be able to.”
“First, tell me what you know.” Jiang Li asked casually.
“The ‘three corpses’ represents the ‘obsessions’ within the human body. To be specific, they are the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse. When cultivating the Three Corpses Beheading Method, one should separate the three corpses, then subdue them with great willpower, mana, and mental state, uniting them together into one. That’s when the method is considered complete.”
Bai Hongtu mysteriously said, “It is said that slaughtering the three corpses is a crucial step in becoming a Taoist. Even in the Immortal Realm, very few people are able to reach this step. What we can confirm is that the Dao Sect in the Immortal realm is definitely cultivating the Three Corpses Slaughtering Method, but we do not know how far they have gone.”
“Could it be possible that you suspect our Dao Sect was created as a result of the Three Corpses Slaughtering Method?” Bai Hongtu naturally thought of this.
“There is a possibility.” Jiang Li didn’t deny it.
Bai Hongtu nodded, “That’s what I think too, but our ancient teacher was very careful. He thought that our Dao Sect might not necessarily have this kind of relationship with the Immortal Realm Dao Sect. The Immortal Realm Dao Sect has vast divine skills, it’s possible they used another method to create our Dao Sect.”
“That also makes sense, the Immortal Realm Dao Sect is the most ancient existence. Rumor has it that they already existed at the beginning of the world. Only natural for them to have methods that we are unaware of.” Jiang Li didn’t think the ancient teacher was wrong in being cautious.
“Just not sure if the Immortal Realm Dao Sect has successfully become a Taoist.”
Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li strangely, “If the Dao Sect Dao Memorial in the Immortal Realm and our Dao Sect Dao Memorial have the Three Corpse relationship, then wouldn’t it be impossible for him to become a Taoist when our Dao Memorial Dao Sect has disappeared?”
“True.” Jiang Li nodded.
The two didn’t discuss this for too long, they had arrived at the Union Sect.
The Union Sect is indeed the famous sect in the Nine Provinces, compared to the Red Dust Pureland which is unreachable to the common people, the Union Sect is more familiar to people.
The brightly dressed, beautiful women swayed at the sect entrance. The makeup smell was not strong enough to be repulsive, in fact it gave people a feeling of elegant tranquility.
The Union Sect disciples did not wear overly revealing clothes. Some dressed in shadow-like clothing, highlighting a mysterious feel, others wore body-fitting clothes showing off their figures, and some dressed in other sect’s clothing with a bewitching expression.
They believe that dressing revealingly should be strategic, recklessly dressing too revealing is a lowbrow choice. Giving a sense of anticipation, mystery, and freshness would attract more men.
Men are interested not in undressing, but in what they’re dressing in.
Union Sect is a genuine orthodox sect that believes in the unity of Yin and Yang, complementing men and women. The Union Cultivation Method will greatly benefit both genders.
Above, is the Union Sect’s evaluation of itself, and those who’ve been to the Union Sect also evaluated the Union Sect in this way, so it’s convincing to say that Union Sect is an orthodox sect.
The relationship between Union Sect and the Imperial Palace is intricately intertwined. Throughout history, many Human Emperors loved to dwell here and free themselves.
When it came to Jiang Li’s term as Human Emperor, the relationship became inseparable.
Commander Ma Zhuo was a hidden elder of the Union Sect.
Although members of the Imperial Palace mustn’t join other sects, the two commanders joined covertly. There’s no evidence to indiscreetly dismiss them.
Moreover, the two of them serve as technical guidance, they gave unilaterally and did not ask for anything in return. They consider this voluntary service and do not consider it as joining the Union Sect.
This was Commander Liu’s official answer to Jiang Li.
When Jiang Li asked for the true reason, Commander Liu’s reply was:
“All the Human Emperors in history have entrusted me with the wellbeing of the Union Sect.”
Jiang Li had no choice but to pretend that he didn’t know Commander Ma Zhuo was a Union Sect member.
“We’ve been to the Union Sect before, haven’t we?” Arriving at the Union Sect, Bai Hongtu recalled the past.
“Indeed, back then you wanted to challenge me, and then you were thrown off by me. You knocked over a lot of buildings along the way before finally crashing into the Union Sect.”
“Not that time, it was when a Demon Cultivator hid within Union Sect. We went there to search for the Demon Cultivator.”
Jiang Li remembered, “Oh right, that was our second trip to the Union Sect. I remember we were young then and the Union Sect was notably tempting, fortunately, my Taoist heart was firm and I held on. Did you?”
Bai Hongtu avoided his gaze, “Let’s go in.”
