Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Immortal Artifacts on the Run

Translator: 549690339

Although Jiang Li was confident in his strength, the unpredictable attacks of the Immortal Artifacts left him uncertain about his victory. Consequently, he pulled out his Sky Desolate Halberd.

One of his incarnations wielded a long sword, executing the Heart Sword intending to annihilate the consciousness of the Immortal Artifacts; another incarnation blended spell with technique, continuously pouring out a fusion of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism.

Bai Hongtu thought he was witnessing the Body Integration Realm's Jiang Li again, who was not yet the Human Emperor. His martial arts had reached perfection, his physical strength inconceivable, his weapon skills various and hard to defend against. He had swept across all those in the same realm. Back then, he was incredibly potent even without a suitable weapon; now that he wielded the Sky Desolate Halberd, Bai Hongtu was uncertain of just how mighty Jiang Li had become.

If there was anyone who could quell the chaos of the Immortal Artifacts, he believed it must be Jiang Li.

The four Confucian protectors with a gentleman's sword in one hand and the Dragon Ball in the other were unparalleled in their offense and defense. Their aura was clearly beyond what those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage could possess.

With a sweep of his halberd, Jiang Li broke the four gentleman's swords and flung the four protectors away. If it weren't for the Dragon Ball's protection, they could have been knocked back to the Great Confucian Word Post with just one hit.

“So painful!”

“So crude!”

“He's stronger than our dragon clan! ”

The four Dragon Balls cried out in pain simultaneously. They had indeed developed consciousness, which also led to the emergence of perception and emotion.

The 'Death' Word Post adhered to one of Jiang Li's incarnations, which then used the Golden Cicada Shedding Technique to produce a new incarnation from his head, turning the original incarnation to ashes.

The Great Confucian Word Post still didn't give up, so it cast the 'Burn' Word Post. The new incarnation was bathed in Buddha's light, reborn in fire, and molded into a golden form, simply like a Vajra Arhat.

Another incarnation swung the Heart Sword, which was born from the Great Confucian Word Post's consciousness and injured it along with the yet-to-be formed 'Destroy' Word Post. The Sword intent still didn't stop and intended to eradicate everything until nothing remains.

Fearing this, the Great Confucian Word Post hastily wrote the 'Calm' Word Post making its consciousness ethereal, narrowly avoiding this massacre.

Once again, the gourd released heavenly tribulations. The incarnation utilized the Carefree Technique to nimbly dodge the heavenly tribulation attack and remained unharmed.

The Brahma Tower, relying on the black hole created by its weight, directly confronted Jiang Li.

However, the Sky Desolate Halberd was Imown for its most rigid positive attributes; it wasn't common for it to be disfigured by attacks. Only resorting to Artifact Refining, a softer approach, would change its shape.

The Sky Desolate Halberd was fearless in the face of the black hole and struck the body of the Brahma Tower. There were no tactics involved, just a simple show of strength.

Jiang Li felt his hands go numb, he steadied himself before once again tightly gripping the Sky Desolate Halberd.

However, several large pits have been hammered into the body of the Brahma Tower. The straight tower now appeared gourd-shaped.

A few more hits like this and it would be split into two. It would genuinely need to be refined again!

The people on the ground were anxious, afraid that the Human Emperor Jiang Li could not defeat the numerous Immortal Artifacts.

But even more so, the Immortal Artifacts were filled with fear, afraid that they were going to fall here.

Jiang Li sensed something watching him maliciously. He trusted his intuition and looked up, but he saw nothing.

Jiang Li trusted his intuition and, at a speed surpassing light, threw the Sky Desolate Halberd, which disappeared and then quickly reappeared.

It was remarkably similar to the princes of the Great Zhou using “Retracing Time”.

“Human, you are good!”

At last, the Yin Yang Heaven Seal found the missing part of itself. While Jiang Li was fighting the other Immortal Artifacts, it integrated the missing part back into its body,

“This is your doing! I will drag you to eternal suffering!”

With harsh words, the Yin Yang Heaven Seal was not short of confidence.

It commands the causality of the Nine Provinces.

'You will face all kinds of predicaments, and every step will prove arduous!”

As soon as the Yin Yang Heaven Seal said this, numerous unforeseen coincidences were supposed to occur to Jiang Li. For instance, a disturbance of the spiritual energy in his body, the loss of his cultivation, becoming the target of inexplicable hostility from everyone, or even worse, falling into a temporal fog, becoming the weakest version of himself from 500 years ago…

However, none of this happened.

There was no change in Jiang Li's body.

“How can I not see your causality! How can I not see your causality!” The Yin Yang Heaven Seal yelled out of control, unable to understand what it saw.

In its eyes, it could see the causality of all people and Spiritual Treasures, except for Jiang Li, who seemed to be independent of the Nine Provinces, free of all causality!

Although Jiang Li didn't know why, he realised it wasn't the time to dwell on it.

His three incarnations acted simultaneously, each resorting to different methods, causing cracks to appear on the body of the Yin Yang Heaven Seal.

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal was hit so hard that it let out a cry of pain: “Waah, I'm not going to play anymore, you are bullying me!”

It was not just the Yin Yang Heaven Seal crying, the other Immortal Artifacts were also crying.

Only having been recently born, these Artifacts had the sentimental capacity of five or six-year-olds. They were playful and wanted to act recklessly in the Nine Provinces since no one could control them.

Who would have thought that they would suffer a brutal beating from Jiang Li before they even started.

“Little tower, take our brothers and run, leave the Nine Provinces!”

The Brahma Tower had already prepared and opened six space-time rifts. Seeing this, the other Immortal Artifacts quickly entered.

[Detecting unknown world]

[Detecting unknown world]

[Detecting unknown world]

Suddenly, the system transmitted six prompts.

With the Immortal Artifacts having run away, the remaining Spiritual

Treasures that had gained consciousness couldn't grow powerful on their own.

Under the numerous powerful cultivators launching their attacks, these Spiritual Treasures succumbed one by one, all dropping their cries for establishing a Spiritual Treasure Dynasty.

But everyone knew that the issue of the sentient Spiritual Treasures was far from over.

Although those sentient Spiritual Treasures had surrendered, it was only temporary. If a cultivator continued to use these Spiritual Treasures, they could face situations where those Treasures would intentionally slack off in the midst of battle, bringing unfavourable luck to their masters.

However, cultivators had grown accustomed to relying on Spiritual Treasures. Without them, the power of the Nine Provinces would significantly decline.

The question remained, what to do with these Spiritual Treasures? If they were allowed to remain with their masters, what about when the Spiritual Treasures fight back their owners; if they are gathered together, that would precisely form a Spiritual Treasure Dynasty; and if they are all destroyed, they would be too precious to let go.

More importantly, what to do with those Immortal Artifacts?

In the era before Jiang Li, the Human Emperors of every generation resisted the Heavenly Demons using all means with the Immortal Artifacts among them.

If Jiang Li finds the Immortal Realm but is unable to return, or after he eventually dies of old age, what can the new Human Emperor use to resist the Heavenly Demons?

Jiang Li was optimistic, the Immortal Artifacts are stronger than the Heavenly Demons; as long as he can bring back the Immortal Artifacts, the Nine Provinces can always be in peace.

As he fought with these Immortal Artifacts, he knew that their nature wasn't evil. For instance, the Great Confucian Word Post could have posted the 'Death' Word Post on Jiang Li's real body instead of his incarnation. Likewise, Yin Yang Heaven Seal could have announced “Jiang Li will die,” instead of “His every step will be difficult.”

They were just not fond of restrictions.

Jiang Li even wanted to use the Yin Yang Heaven Seal to trace the causality to find the ascended ancestors and thus, the Immortal Realm.

Previously, nobody could use the Yin Yang Heaven Seal proficiently for this job. Still, now that the Yin Yang Heaven Seal has developed a consciousness, finding the ascended ancestors should be a piece of cake.

“I'm going to bring them back.” During a meeting of the major forces, Jiang Li startled everyone by saying this.

Find them? How and where?

“I gained some insight into the Dao of space not long ago. I can find them by following the direction in which the Immortal Artifacts went.”

Jiang Li had already confirmed with the system. The coordinates of the six unknown worlds the Immortal Artifacts had gone to were decided. They could be transported as long as the origin points were consumed..
