Chapter 139: Chapter 138: The First Step Outside into the Nine Provinces World

Jiang Li had promised Ming Zhong when they separated that he would visit Ming Zhong’s World again after finding the Fan Tian Tower.
In fact, Jiang Li could visit at any time, but he made this promise for two reasons.
On one hand, the existence of the Daoist Patriarch’s immortal body in Ming Zhong’s World is of great significance to the Dao Sect. But Bai Hongtu couldn’t traverse the Void, and although the immortal elder could, it would consume his immortal power. Consequently, Jiang Li had suggested to the elder that it wasn’t urgent, they could wait until after he found the Fan Tian Tower.
On the other hand, the technological level of Ming Zhong’s World was high. If a zombie crisis occurred there, they wouldn’t fear fourth-tier zombies because their mecha could handle them.
Ming Zhong’s World and Jiuzhou developed in entirely different ways. Jiang Li intended to establish a connection between Jiuzhou and Ming Zhong’s World for mutual exchange and development.
Moreover, Jiang Li was also concerned about the safety of Ming Zhong’s World. Since the outer Heavenly Demons could transform A Qing and make humans disappear, they might strike again.
Upon hearing that they were going to Ming Zhong’s World, Bai Hongtu and the immortal elder were delighted. They informed all the Body Integration Realm elders in the Dao Sect to smarten up and not disgrace themselves in another world.
They didn’t even tell the sect elders about the immortal body of the Daoist Patriarch, so as to avoid causing panic.
Although they didn’t want the elders to know the truth, Bai Hongtu and the immortal elder still wanted them to visit that world—a rather contradictory desire.
To everyone in Jiuzhou, another world was indeed a strange and fascinating place, even to powerful figures in the Body Integration Realm.
Especially since the Dao Sect Elders had seen the scenery of that world through the Remote Communication Talisman, they found it interesting that objects could be moved without the use of spiritual energy, a profound idea indeed.
The Ying Yang Heaven Seal was still pondering over Spiritual Treasure cultivation methods. According to the Fan Tian Tower, if Ying Yang Heaven Seal successfully developed a systematic cultivation method for Spiritual Treasures, their own Immortal Artifacts could cultivate and allow for more spatial channels to exist.
Therefore, everybody left Yin Yang Heaven Seal alone.
The time flow rate in Ming Zhong’s World and Jiuzhou was the same. Four and a half years had passed since their separation.
After Jiang Li left, Ming Zhong had ordered the citizens to restore their emotions. The remaining threats were minor; they could be handled by their mecha without causing any casualties.
Therefore, when they found out that the monstrous beasts were no longer a problem, and the survival pressure of thousands of years had disappeared, the world celebrated for a whole year.
Ming Zhong was hailed as the most outstanding president.
If they weren’t pursuing superior weaponry and higher-level science, the people of Ming Zhong’s World wouldn’t need to work. The productivity level here was terrifyingly high with fully automated production. People could work based on their interests: drawing cartoons, being a teacher, and even those who didn’t want to go to school had to go.
After solving the survival issue, Ming Zhong as the president noticed a new problem: rampant hedonism.
Fortunately, this problem wasn’t severe, and they could solve it gradually.
Moreover, Ming Zhong now faced a new minor yet annoying issue.
“President Ming Zhong, please tell us the truth about how the monstrous beasts were handled,” a congressman asked, a question he had asked countless times, only to receive the same answer.
“No comment,” Ming Zhong replied impatiently. “I’ve written down the whole course of the event and classified it as top-secret. If everything goes as expected, it will be declassified in a hundred years.”
Ming Zhong didn’t know if Jiang Li wanted to publicize the event. He didn’t dare to make hasty decisions.
There had been a great commotion when Jiang Li and the Yin Yang Heaven Seal fought. Although they fought at the other end of the continent, the humans were still aware of it. However, they only knew that something had happened, not why.
Only Ming Zhong knew the whole story. He was dealing with a formidable figure who could flip the entire continent. Despite appearing amiable, he didn’t dare to risk crossing Jiang Li.
What if he did something that didn’t align with Jiang Li’s interests? The consequences would be…
But humans were always curious, especially about big matters. Ming Zhong, as the president, had to listen to public opinion, hence he came up with a compromise.
Declassifying the documents after a hundred years.
Obviously, the congressmen didn’t want their descendants to know the truth after a hundred years.
They wanted to know it now.
“Ming Zhong, there’s nothing to hide. My matters need no secrecy,” a familiar voice said, filling Ming Zhong with delight.
“Mr. Jiang Li!” Ming Zhong exclaimed, causing the congressmen to look at each other in confusion. They didn’t understand why the president had suddenly become so excited.
They wondered if their pressure had driven him mad.
They felt a bit guilty.
“Is that the leader of the human race? Seems a bit stifled.’
“Talk through mental communication. Don’t announce our opinions publicly. It makes us look rude.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? He doesn’t understand what we’re saying anyway.”
“Seems reasonable, he is indeed stifling.”
A group, mostly comprised of middle-aged individuals, suddenly appeared in the parliament, leaving the congressmen at a loss.
The Dao Sect elders who arrived were of the Body Integration Realm, and had enormous divine sense coverage. Their divine senses enveloped the entire city, easily identifying the linguistic patterns of this world and as a result, learning its language.
Nevertheless, even if they’ve learned it, they still used Jiuzhou language for communication.
“Who’d imagine that this leader, with his mediocre cultivation and unimpressive combat prowess, emerged as the boss?”
“Apparently, it’s determined by something called ‘genes’ before birth?”
“Genes? That’s new.”
Although their divine senses had gleaned many things, mastering them all would still be a challenge.
“What are you doing here? Facing impeachment?” Jiang Li asked, smiling.
“Nothing so serious, just the usual squabbles,” Ming Zhong said, visibly relaxed by Jiang Li’s arrival. “Remember you wanted to know how the monstrous beasts were handled? It was Mr. Jiang Li who helped us handle them.” “An alien? Did he solve it with the help of his forces?”
Just like the original name, the congressmen also thought Jiang Li was an alien.
Ming Zhong repeated the whole sequence of events, though he omitted certain parts, such as them being the remnants of the Immortal Realm, and the continent being the corpse of some entity.
The congressmen who learned the truth still couldn’t believe it. It was almost inconceivable. How could a person be so powerful?
However, when Jiang Li took them out of the gravitational field, they believed.
“Mr. Ming Zhong, good to see you again,” Bai Hongtu bowed. He had seen Ming Zhong through the Remote Communication Talisman before and was surprised that their world couldn’t even resist a Body Integration Realm beast.
“Sect Master Bai,” greeted Ming Zhong in return.
“Let me introduce you. These people are the high-ranking officials from the second-largest power in Jiuzhou, all of them are in the Body Integration
Realm.”
The elder bowed respectfully to Ming Zhong, just like they hadn’t mocked the leader moments ago.
Ming Zhong gasped and hurriedly returned the bow. He Imew the concept— that a single Body Integration Realm beast could wipe out the entire human race if it weren’t for Mr. Jiang Li.
And they were all in the Body Integration Realm, yet two realms behind Jiang Li.
Ming Zhong, feeling dwarfed, relaxed a bit. After all, although he was the supreme leader of humanity—a theoretically equal position to that of Jiang Li—the gap was quite large.
As a gracious host, Ming Zhong warmly welcomed his guests from afar.
Ming Zhong took everyone to the most high-end restaurant. The food in this world had greatly improved since Jiang Li’s initial visit. With the pressure of survival gone, people began to pursue delicacies. The food, surprisingly delicious, was savored by the elders.
The congressmen accompanied them at the side, chatting with the elders about Jiuzhou’s customs and being astounded by its vastness and might..
