Chapter 413: Chapter 412: The Statue of Jiang Li

“Killing fallen immortals can also gain merit?”

Jiang Li shook his head slightly, this matter was strange.

The Heavenly Dao destroys all beings, so killing can gain merit, this could still be understandable.

But to say that killing fallen immortals can also gain merit, could it be that the Heavenly Dao not only wanted to destroy all the Ten Thousand Realms, but also wanted to destroy the Immortal Realm?

This doesn’t make sense, what on earth is it plotting?

Seeking peace of mind?

Ever since knowing the reason for the Heavenly Dao becoming conscious, Jiang Li’s perception of the Heavenly Dao had undergone a complete turnaround.

Regal Immortal handed a figurine of Respected God-hidden to Jiang Li, saying seriously, “So you should know the power of the Heavenly Dao now. Even a figurine incarnated from it is so hard…”

Jiang Li took the figurine, gently applied force, and broke it in half.

Regal Immortal: “…”

“The Master is very powerful, but even he can’t prevent an image from being damaged. Even if you are stronger than him, you shouldn’t be much stronger…”

Jiang Li gave his own figurine to Regal Immortal, indicating him to smash it.

Regal Immortal exerted force but could not break Jiang Li’s figurine.

Regal Immortal: “…”

It was hard to continue the conversation from there.

“In any case, you now know the truth, you are bound to face the powerful Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Dao that reigns above all. Be prepared, this is bound to be a cruel battle of life and death.”

Regal Immortal did not elaborate further, forcibly concluded, and said what he wanted to say.

“Figurine of Respected God-hidden is very hard, I need to use the power of a Heavenly Immortal to break it.” Jiang Li explained to the three of them.

Bai Hongtu curiously smashed Jiang Li’s figurine with all his strength. And naturally, the figurine was intact.

Yu Yin glanced at Bai Hongtu, feeling that he was treating them differently.

Bai Hongtu did not use so much force when smashing the figurine of Respected God-hidden.

“Then how much force did you need to smash your own figurine?”

Jiang Li felt Bai Hongtu’s question was stupid: “The figurine’s image is myself, how can the hard characteristics of the figurine affect me. Naturally, it broke as soon as it was touched.”

“If you want to prove which figurine is harder, you can only find a Heavenly Immortal to experiment. But now the Heavenly Immortals are in the Immortal Realm, where can you find…”

Jiang Li paused and recalled that there seemed to be a somewhat foolish Heavenly Immortal in Jiuzhou.

“Alright, coming to find you, immortal, we just wanted to discuss these matters. Immortal, you should enjoy your retirement. Let the young ones take over next.”

With the matter concluded, Jiang Li stood up to bid constable Immortal farewell.

Yu Yin felt the trip was worthwhile, having learnt so many secrets and returned to the Heaven Origin Emperor Dynasty.

Bai Hongtu pondered with the little figurine of Jiang Li, feeling that he had been too hasty in making a plan to defeat Jiang Li.

“The first step in defeating Jiang Li, should I break the figurine first?”

Constable Immortal beside him was worried that Bai Hongtu might not even be able to take the first step.

“Master, could you invent a few more realms? For example, something like a Realm of Wandering Immortals. Maybe, I could make a breakthrough.” Bai Hongtu was eager to try, and looked at Eternal Master as if he had the ability to grant whatever he asked.

Eternal Master rolled his eyes and ignored Bai Hongtu.

…

Jiang Li arrived in Red Dust Pure Heart Paradise. It was just as serene as ever, isolated from the world, tranquil and timeless.

Oceans had turned to mulberry fields, and the world had changed too much. The only constant was the Red Dust Pure Heart Paradise. Quietly nestled in the western corner of Jiuzhou, it was at peace with the world.

“Could you please announce that Jiang Li is here to visit?”

Jiang Li spoke to the two female disciples at the gate. He always felt that the innocent look in their eyes changed when they saw him.

As though… they want to eat him up?

It must have been just an illusion.

The Saintess of Pure Heart descended from the mountain with a flushed face, led Jiang Li up the mountain.

Getting out of bed, she looked after Red Dust Pure Heart Paradise while the Teacher of Clear Desire was visiting the Buddha’s place.

Jiang Li realized it was not an illusion. The female disciples of Red Dust Pure Heart Paradise heard about his arrival and dropped their books to come and see him. They looked at him in the same way as the two disciples at the gate.

Jiang Li noticed that they were not studying Buddhist scriptures techniques. Instead, they were reading “The Domineering Mahayana Fell In Love With Me (Part Two)”

This thing had a part two?

Didn’t the first part end with the two getting married and having twins? How could the story continue from there?

Jiang Li had read the first part. The content was cringey, to the extent that he broke the space and shattered the void.

What happened next? Did the two divorce and reconcile? Or did the male protagonist lose his memory and start all over?

Looking at the female disciples, each of them holding a copy. It seemed that the second part was quite popular.

“Did you come here to find me?” Saintess of Pure Heart was apprehensive and clenched her skirt’s corner.

“Got half of it right.”

“What do you mean?”

“I came to find your master.”

“How is this considered half right?”

“‘Your’ master, out of four words you guessed two correctly.”

“…”

Jiang Li once again found the Fairy of Red Dust. She was just as naive and carefree, worry-free as ever. When staying around her, one couldn’t help but be affected by her surroundings, relaxing.

“Greetings, Fairy.”

“The Human Emperor is polite.” The Fairy of Red Dust responded, deliberately putting up a serious look. But she was just lying on the lawn, with leaves in her hair as she got up that it was impossible for her to look serious no matter what.

Saintess of Pure Heart stepped forward to tidy up the Fairy’s appearance.

“Don’t move, there’s a leaf here.”

“Oh.”

Jiang Li took out the figurines of Respected God-hidden and Jiang Li.

“Is this for me?” The Fairy of Red Dust looked at the figurine of Jiang Li and couldn’t bear to part with it. She had seen many figurines of Jiang Li when she was out playing, but she never had the chance to buy one.

As for the figurine of Respected God-hidden, the Fairy of Red Dust ignored it.

Odd-looking figurines without any aesthetic appeal.

“If you like it, Fairy, I can give you two more. However, before that, could you try to crush these two figurines?”

Red Dust Fairy was unsure of Jiang Li’s request but followed it anyway.

“What a hard figurine.” She gripped the figurine of Respected God-hidden, and it took all her strength to crush it.

However, as for the figurine of Jiang Li, even when the Fairy used all her strength her face turned red with effort, it didn’t break no matter what.

“What material did you use for this figurine? Even I can’t crush it.” The Fairy of Red Dust couldn’t understand.

Jiang Li smiled, but did not explain. Instead, he gave the Fairy his own figurine as a thank-you gift.

With the Fairy of Red Dust’s practice, he had a rough estimate of Respected God-hidden’s strength.

He was weaker than Jiang Li.

“Right, can you give me another figurine?”

“What does Fairy want with two?”

The Fairy of Red Dust giggled: “To give as a gift.”

After Jiang Li left, The Fairy of Red Dust gave one figurine to Saintess of Pure Heart.

“How did Master know I like this figurine?” Saintess of Pure Heart was overjoyed and planned to place the figurine in the meditating site so she could focus better during meditation, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.

“Because unlike the Human Emperor, I’m not blind.”

…

Leaving the Paradise of Red Dust Pure Heart, Jiang Li suddenly remembered that he was immune to the Fairy’s charm.

“Fairy is the embodiment of the beauty of Heavenly Dao’s creation. Practitioners can’t do without Heavenly Dao, and thus they can’t resist the charm of the Fairy.”

“Could it be that I am stronger than the Heavenly Dao and thus immune?”
