Chapter 16 – There's a beautiful woman about to fight
Jiang Li floated above Qingcheng, his hands crossed behind his head, pondering the words of Jiang Yixing.
"If only Old Ji could trace back to three hundred and eighty years ago, but unfortunately, even if he exhausted his lifespan, he couldn't trace back that far."
Thinking of this, Jiang Li smirked. Old Ji was good in all aspects. As an emperor, he was diligent and loved his people, upheld justice and respected the law. As a friend, he was loyal and righteous. But as a cultivator, he was unwilling to practice, wasting his double-pupil talent.
It was known that the double-pupil was a symbol of Emperor Shun, the founding emperor, and it was most suitable for practicing the path of time.
Legend has it that Emperor Shun was originally a fish in the river of time. Somehow, he jumped out of the river of time, transformed into a human form, and came to Jiuzhou, establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the descendants of the Great Zhou naturally had an affinity for the path of time.
Jiang Li had also studied the path of time and found that it was purely based on comprehension, which he couldn't grasp.
"So, comrade Old Ji, you need to practice hard," Jiang Li muttered to himself.

He took out a long yellow paper, on which were drawn some ancient characters with cinnabar. This was a long-distance communication talisman written by the Dao Sect. As long as it was in Jiuzhou, it could be contacted regardless of distance.
What Jiang Li regretted was that the production of this long-distance communication talisman was difficult. It required a Dao Sect elder to spend several months of hard work to write it. Therefore, even the Dao Sect itself didn't have enough, let alone selling it to others. It was because of his good relationship with the People's Emperor Palace that Jiang Li had a few of them. He kept one for himself and gave the rest to the leader of the People's Emperor Palace.
"Calling the leader of the People's Emperor Palace, Zhang Konghu."
The long-distance communication talisman flickered slightly, connecting with the other end. Soon, a burly figure occupied most of Jiang Li's vision.
"Brother Jiang, I was just thinking of contacting you. Something big has happened!"
Zhang Konghu's face was close to Jiang Li, who instinctively slapped it away. The figure quickly reformed into Zhang Konghu's appearance.
Zhang Konghu was a somewhat dark-skinned strong man. His two thick arms were like pillars supporting the sky, strong and powerful, like a transformed black bear, wild boar, or elephant. As a member of the witch clan, he had some insights into body refining. It was said that the "Jiang Li People's Emperor Strength" written by the Four Seas Dragon King had his secret help.
However, this strong man now looked quite miserable. His two purple and green eye circles were particularly eye-catching. His face, arms, calves, and so on, wherever exposed, were bruised. It seemed that he might have broken a few bones.
Jiang Li was taken aback. He knew how astonishing Zhang Konghu's physique was. This was a tough guy who could contend with the Tribulation Crossing stage with his physical body alone. There were only a few in Jiuzhou who could hurt him like this.@@novelbin@@
He tentatively asked, "Did you quarrel with your wife again?"
"No."
"Was there a demon invasion?"
"No."
"Did you invite the old Buddha of Sumeru to eat pork stewed with vermicelli?"
"No."
"Then..."
"Brother Jiang, stop guessing. You've only won the fourth prize in the lottery. You don't need me to say what your luck is like."
"Oh, then you say."
"There are beauties about to fight!"
"Huh?" Jiang Li was confused. How was this a big deal?
"A few years ago, Emperor Mengjiang took a concubine and hid her in the golden house, not allowing outsiders to see her. He himself also ignored state affairs and stayed in the golden house. You know about this, Brother Jiang."
Jiang Li had indeed heard about it. Emperor Mengjiang was obsessed with beauty and ignored state affairs, causing chaos in the court of the Mengjiang Dynasty and the people were living in dire straits. But this was also a common occurrence. After all, some emperors were obsessed with cultivation and closed up for decades, which was even more excessive than Emperor Mengjiang. This situation was not within the jurisdiction of the People's Emperor Palace.
If the People's Emperor Palace intervened whenever an emperor was lazy or negligent, they would be overstepping their bounds. They might as well unify Jiuzhou directly.
Therefore, Jiang Li only had a slight impression of this matter and did not delve into it.
"It is said that Emperor Mengjiang did not have sexual relations with that concubine, but simply watched her."
"Emperor Wei of the Great Wei Dynasty and Emperor Mengjiang have a great relationship. After Emperor Wei came out of seclusion, he went to the golden house to find Emperor Mengjiang to see how beautiful the newly accepted concubine was, which made Emperor Mengjiang so obsessed. Emperor Mengjiang also allowed it. But unexpectedly, trouble arose from this."
"Emperor Wei loves beauties, which is known to everyone. But I never expected that Emperor Wei would actually ask Emperor Mengjiang to give the concubine to him, allowing Emperor Mengjiang to choose any spiritual stones, cultivation methods, or territories."
"Emperor Mengjiang naturally refused. The two had a big quarrel and even started fighting, collapsing half of Emperor Mengjiang's palace!"
"That's not all. Emperor Wei insisted on wanting this concubine. Emperor Mengjiang said it was absolutely impossible. Emperor Wei said they would meet on the battlefield. Emperor Mengjiang agreed. In the end, they both said they would meet on the battlefield to fight to the death!"
"..."
So this was what you meant by beauties about to fight?
You summarized the cause and result quite well.
Jiang Li was considering whether to pay for a private tutor for Zhang Konghu.
However, the fact that two dynasties were about to go to war was indeed a big deal, especially when the two emperors were leading the charge themselves. It was extraordinary and would definitely lead hundreds of thousands of troops or even more.
And these hundreds of thousands of troops were not like the ancient armies of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Jiang Li's previous life. They were composed of hundreds of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators, tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and thousands of Golden Elixir cultivators. As for those above the Elemental Infant stage, there probably wouldn't be too few.
According to Jiang Li's estimate, the true energy of a Qi Refining sixth layer cultivator was comparable to a bullet, and the burst of a Golden Elixir stage cultivator could be compared to a Tomahawk missile. In other words, once this army of hundreds of thousands started fighting, it would be like World War II in his previous life. The scope of the battlefield was purely up to the performance on the spot. It was very likely to reach the territories of other dynasties and sects, and under the chain reaction, it might turn into a Jiuzhou melee.
Not to mention that this army of hundreds of thousands could form a large army formation. Even the old monsters of the Tribulation Crossing stage would have to avoid its sharpness. The only one who dared to guarantee that he could defeat the army of hundreds of thousands alone was probably Jiang Li.Jiang Li had already made up his mind. If he could persuade them to make peace, he would. If not, he would have to enforce peace through his own strength.
He hoped that Emperor Wei and Emperor Meng Jiang would understand.
With this thought, Jiang Li felt slightly relieved. If it were any other Peoples Emperor, they would indeed be troubled for a while, as they wouldn't have the confidence to defeat the armies of two empires.
However, as the strongest Peoples Emperor and currently the only Mahayana cultivator in Jiuzhou, preventing a war between two empires was not a difficult task for Jiang Li. The real question was how much force he would need to use.
"So, what's the story with your injury? Who did this to you?"
"That's the real issue, Brother Jiang. As you know, one of our duties as the Peoples Emperor is to maintain the overall stability of Jiuzhou. After learning about the duel between Emperor Wei and Emperor Meng Jiang, I immediately rushed to Meng Jiang's side to mediate. But who would have thought that the moment I saw his consort, my soul was completely captivated. She was incredibly beautiful, as stunning as a Heavenly Immortal. No, even a fairy couldn't compare to her beauty!"
"At that moment, I even thought about taking the consort for myself, and I almost lost control of my body."
"In my desperation, I had no other choice but to give myself a good beating to snap out of it through the pain."
What do you think?
