SWNOVELS Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Beauty, Treasure, Power
Translator: 549690339
Qi Cultivation at the eighth or ninth level is considered to be legendary, and Foundation Establishment Stage practitioners are treated as Immortals descending to the mortal realm.
For the Foundation Establishment Stage practitioners trapped in the lower planes of the Nine Continents, this secret realm is as wonderful as a dream.
With countless beauties throwing themselves at them, so-called Grandmaster Realm opponents are unable to withstand a single blow, there are massive amounts of heavenly treasures and natural resources to help them ascend to the Nascent Soul stage, and they are able to establish countries and enjoy royal majesty.
To put it accurately, it’s beyond even their wildest dreams.
These things didn’t have much attraction for Jiang Li, but he roughly guessed what the secret realm wanted to test. Out of respect for his seniors, he still acted according to the desires of the secret realm.
Surrounded by the twittering of beautiful women, Jiang Li decided to dominate the world. contemporary romance
Jiang Li restricted his power to the late Foundation Establishment Stage, defeated eighteen feudal lords in three days, established the country and selected officials in five days, and the people named this event “The 5-3 Founding Day”.
Other countries, hearing that Jiang Li was an Immortal Being, flocked to pay tribute and submit to his will.
All the nations paid tribute to the Lord of All Under Heaven!
No one in the course of history could surpass Jiang Li at this moment!
Seven days after arriving in the secret realm, the vigorous new country was rising. Jiang Li sat inside the immense palace with a blank expression on his face.
Chun’er had stayed beside Jiang Li during his battles and was now the queen. She was currently at Jiang Li’s side.
Many ministers collected beautiful women for Jiang Li to fill his harem. These women admired Jiang Li and served him willingly without being forced.
There were also diviners who believed Jiang Li to be from the Immortal Realm and therefore collected all sorts of heavenly treasures and Spiritual Stones and wines for him. These treasures filled the national treasury to the point that even those at the Divinity Transformation stage would feel envious.
“This is not a place for lonz stavs, I must leave,” Jianz Li said in a calm tone,
speaking perhaps to himself, or perhaps to Chun’er.
Upon hearing this, Chun’er sniffled, with tears falling, soaking her valuable clothes in no time.
“I know that benefactor is not from this realm, but is there nothing here to hold your remembrance?
Jiang Li answered honestly: “No.”
“With three thousand beauties in the harem to choose from, isn’t benefactor moved?”
“I have seen more beautiful ones.”
“I don’t believe it!” Chun’er shook her head resolutely. She was confident in her appearance. On becoming the queen, it wasn’t just because she spent the longest time with Jiang Li, for seven solid days, but also because her beauty outshone all others.
“I have seen the Red Dust Fairy.”
Chun’er immediately fell silent, but it wasn’t clear where she had heard of this title.
She didn’t give up and continued: “Can’t the heavenly treasures in the national treasury attract benefactor? I’ve read the introduction. There is a Divine Vertical Light Fruit in the treasury that if one consumed, it’s as good as cultivation for thirty years of an immortal. There is also the Bi Bo Division Sea Technique. If practiced to its completion, one can split rivers and seas with a single sword. And also…”
Jiang Li didn’t reply, but silently took out a Nine-Transformation Creation Pill.
This pill could make anyone ascend instantly if the path to Immortality had not been severed. Its value was immeasurable!
Apparently aware of its value, Chunter fell silent.
In fact, she wanted to say, give me the Immortal Pill, can I go back to the Nine Continents with you?
Chun’er still hasn’t given up, continuing to ask: “In a few days, benefactor will be able to unify the world, becoming the true ruler. This is a grand accomplishment that emperors throughout history have envied to the point of madness, does benefactor not treasure it?”
Jiang Li sighed: “As the current Human Emperor, I am revered throughout the Nine Continents. Isn’t that better than being a lord in the secret realm?” Chun’er was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Jiang Li continued: “Actually, all the reasons above are just pretexts, the real reason is, why should I stay in an illusion?”
“Isn’t that right, Dream Pure?”
Upon hearing this, Chun’er no longer disguised herself and switched back to her previous attire. It was dignified and grand, yet distinct from her current outfit, carrying a slight historical feeling.
“I thought my Illusion Technique was exquisite and could deceive fellow daoist, but it seems I overestimated myself.”
The information from the Sky Mechanism Tower once mentioned that a female cultivator named Dream Pure was the most beautiful woman in the world eight hundred years ago.
As for the illusion, Jiang Li had realized that he was inside an illusion from the moment he stepped into the secret realm. Everything was an illusion.
Dream Pure, a female cultivator who excelled in the way of illusions. It was said that once the way of illusion was cultivated to its limit, the illusion could be turned into reality, and a simple thought could make something real or fake, which was extremely terrifying.
Crack—
The illusion shattered like a mirror, scattering in pieces, the numerous fragments fell like drops of water melting into the earth, disappearing without a trace.
With the complete disappearance of the illusion, the true appearance of the secret realm was revealed: a primal jungle. Using his Divine Sense, Jiang Li detected that the space was vast, roughly equivalent to a quarter of Tianqing
Prefecture.
Jiang Li was standing in a clearing. At the same time, eight hundred disciples from various sects were lying on the ground. Their expressions varied, some were conflicted, some were joyful, others had murderous expressions, and it was unknown what choices they had made in the illusion.
Dream Pure stood before Jiang Li, speaking with slight regret, “I was unaware of the current Human Emperor’s presence here, it was my oversight.”
The information from the Sky Mechanism Tower was correct. Dream Pure had indeed perished in the Heavenly Tribulation. What was appearing now in front of Jiang Li was just a backup she had left before facing the tribulation, a residual thought.
“No, no, I just carelessly broke into the secret realm and caused trouble for senior Dream.”
Seeing Dream Pure hesitating, Jiang Li smiled and said, “Senior Dream, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Dream Pure said, “I have also met the Human Emperor of my time. He could be considered a heroic figure, but he was not comparable to you, just like an Immortal. Can it be that the Nine Continents have found the path to
Immortality?”
“Not really, it’s just that I was lucky to break through to the Mahayana stage.”
Dream Pure’s pupils slightly shrank, apparently the news that Jiang Li broke through to the Mahayana stage was even more astonishing than the emergence of the path to immortality.
“I always thought the Mahayana stage was merely a legend, but it turns out that someone can indeed break through to the Mahayana stage.”
“Just a fluke, just a fluke,” Jiang Li avoided saying more about it, “Is senior Dream trying to test the little guys’ resistance towards beauty, treasures, and power with this illusion?
“Yes. As long as they can resist any one of these, they pass and can enter the next layer.”
It wasn’t too hard to guess. First, there were the willing beauties, then heavenly treasures as plentiful as though they were being given away for free, and finally even Foundation Establishment Stage practitioners could dominate the world.
Upon reflection, one would realize that there were many illogical things within the illusion. For instance, where did the people who entered the secret realm with him go? There were too many beautiful women. The other countries submitted too quickly and so on.
The miracle of the art of illusion was such that it made cultivators automatically ignore these illogical things. The more one was entrapped in the illusion, the deeper one would fall until they could no longer free themselves.
“Hmm—
Qin Luan, lying on the ground, made an unclear sound. It was a sign that he was about to break out of the illusion.
Time inside the illusion was different from reality. In exchange, Qin Luan had already been in the illusion for a month.
Being able to break the illusion in a month was considered strong determination in Dream Pure’s eyes.
Seeing someone about to awaken, Dream Pure smiled faintly: “Fellow daoist, let’s chat more after this secret realm trial is over.”
She revealed a mysterious smile, disappearing after leaving one sentence behind.
“The next test might be more suitable for fellow daoists.”
Although she did not know Jiang Li’s purpose, his cultivation level could manipulate her secret realm at will, yet he didn’t.
Since the other party had given her face, she would not delve into his real purpose..
