Chapter 436: Chapter 435: Defense Talisman and Summoning Talisman

Ji Zhi was not surprised by the representatives from various worlds signing the general guideline. He had foreseen this outcome with his psychic double-pupil.

Indeed, this guideline had been drafted by Ji Zhi, and Jiang Li was only responsible for review and approval.

Signing the general guideline brought a sense of satisfaction in Ji Zhi’s heart.

Jiang Li used a spell to create six copies of the guideline and handed them over to the representatives, which they cherished immensely and stored with great care. They planned to preserve these copies as crucial relics of their respective worlds, either under strict custody or in history museums.

Jiang Li continued, “Now we are moving on to the second item on the agenda, the plan for exploring the four unknown worlds.”

“Ten years ago, Fan Font Tower opened six spatial passages, corresponding to six worlds. I have already explored Ming Zhong World and the Zombie World, leaving four more worlds yet to be explored.”

“After all, I am just a single person with limited abilities. There are many more worlds awaiting our discovery, and it’s inevitable that those in attendance today will join me in the exploration going forward.”

Everyone realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The four unknown worlds represented infinite possibilities. Those who venture into these worlds first would have the advantage and establish amicable relations with the locals.

In the future, if Jiuzhou wished to establish diplomatic relations with these four worlds, it will not be conducted as a collective exchange between the whole Jiuzhou world, but rather, each power would stand on its own, with tacit benefitS based on their previous relationships.

Some people voiced their concerns: “Shouldn’t the exploration of worlds be handled by those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage?”

Unknown worlds meant unexplored opportunities and unforeseen risks. Although the greatest danger in the Ming Zhong World was the Body Integration Realm Demon Beast and in the Zombie World it was the fifth rank zombies equivalent to the God-transformation stage cultivators, those at the Body Integration Realm should be able to handle them.

However, exceptions always existed. They had heard rumors of a self-proclaimed Heavenly Monarch in the Ancient World and Zhu Yan, who was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in the Lingxi World.

If they were to face an enemy at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it would be a narrow escape from the jaws of death, even with the blessing of the Human Emperor.

Jiang Li explained further, “The Sword Monarch is too engrossed in his Sword Dao and unwilling to be distracted. Bai Hongtu is still planning the formation of the Jiuzhou spirit plants and cannot leave Jiuzhou for the time being. Yu Yin, as the Empress, has her hands tied, and the leader Liu is needed to guard the Imperial Palace in my absence. Only Sect Master Li Er can be responsible for one world.”

The mention of the Jiuzhou spirit plants formation made some representatives look away, not daring to meet Jiang Li’s gaze.

They still vividly remembered how that brat Bai Hongtu invited them all into a video conference and discussed how they could use the Jiuzhou Spirit Plant formation to thwart Jiang Li, all in front of him.

Many wished they could get their hands on a forget-regret pill from Su Wei.

Jiang Li, oblivious to their thoughts, continued: “Also, you don’t need to worry. The exploration won’t only involve you but also four Immortal Artifacts.”

Everyone was considerably relieved at this.

“To ensure everyone’s safety to the maximum possible extent, Sect Master Bai Hongtu has customized an extraordinary defensive talisman. Once activated, not even a Heavenly Immortal can break the defense, and there is no time limit to its effectiveness.”

This revelation shocked everyone, their gaze all trained on Bai Hongtu in surprise.

When did Bai Hongtu gain the proficiency to create such a formidable talisman? A talisman that grants perpetual protection at that!

This was indeed invincible.

Bai Hongtu wore a strange expression as he looked at Jiang Li, clearly appreciating his skill of downplaying the real complexities.

Yu Yin, who was always stoic, covered her mouth and giggled. She was genuinely curious about the expressions on people’s faces when they utilized this talisman.

“Not only has Bai Hongtu made a significant breakthrough with defensive talismans, he has also had considerable results with summoning talismans.”

Jiang Li took out four summoning talismans: “These are modified from the directional summoning array into summoning talismans. They can summon the Sword Monarch, Bai Hongtu, Yu Yin…”

Jiang Li paused before adding: “…and me.”

His words triggered an uproar. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the four summoning talismans.

The ability to call upon the Human Emperor’s aid personally was a reassurance, protecting them from any enemy, even an army of extradimensional Heavenly Demons!

The ones who should fear were the extradimensional Heavenly Demons themselves.

Everyone’s confidence soared, and they couldn’t wait to take the summoning talisman and charge straight into the extradimensional Heavenly Demons’ territory.

There are two ways to use the summoning talisman. One was like how Jiang Li summoned Bai Hongtu. If the summoner’s cultivation level was higher than that of the summoned, he could summon them at will.

The other was like the present situation, where if the summoner’s cultivation level was lower, whether the summoned appeared or not depended on whether the summoned agreed to be called upon.

Jiang Li and the Sword Monarch had already agreed beforehand that they would help fend off the enemies.

The Sword Monarch gladly accepted. Being summoned and getting straight to fighting was his ideal scenario.

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin also accepted, although their thoughts differed from those of the Sword Monarch.

Who would summon them when they could summon Jiang Li himself to help instead?

With all the worries sorted out, everyone vied to be the first from Jiuzhou to set foot in these foreign worlds.

“The Ruyi Gourd, Great Confucian Word Post, Dragon Ball, and Mount Heshan, you four are most familiar with the four unknown worlds. You can choose who you want to take.”

The Ruyi Gourd blurted out: “There’s no need to choose. We want the ones from the Union Sect!”

Yu Yin gave the Ruyi Gourd a cold stare then turned to ask Li Er, “Brother Li Er, would you be willing to go to the unknown world with the gourd?”

Li Er was not picky about it: “Sure.”

The Ruyi Gourd felt disheartened. It had planned to choose a pleasing young lady to accompany it, but instead, a burly man with a beard like a palm-frond was chosen.

But it knew better than to disobey its master.

The Ruyi Gourd mumbled, “It can’t really be called an unknown world. I at least know that there are a lot of mutant human tribes there, with animal ears and tails.”

Li Er’s eyes lit up at this revelation.

Great Confucian Word Post did not choose the Confucian school but instead chose the more appropriate Spirit Drug Sect.

The four Dragon Balls whispered a consultation and chimed in, “Human Emperor, our world is most suitable for those from the Zhou dynasty to go. But can our dragon clan people also go there?”

Jiang Li could understand their bias towards their clan, which was an inherent human tendency. He replied, “I didn’t say that only one sect could go. The dragon clan can also go, but you four Dragon Balls can’t play favorites, and entrust all the work to the dragon clan, delaying the resolution of the world’s issues.”

“After the matters are resolved, I will listen for you to report the situation.”

The four Dragon Balls hurriedly chipped in, “Naturally… naturally, of course!”

Wanting to show gratitude by bowing, they realized they lacked hands and instead collided with one another, ringing slightly to convey their thanks.

Then it was Mount Heshan’s turn: “It should be the Sky Mechanism Tower. Their information gathering skills are quite impressive.”

The Tower Master of Sky Mechanism Tower, the man called Heavenly Destiny, accepted his offer.

“And the retired Pavilion Master from Tian Sha Pavilion.”

The Pavilion Master from Tian Sha Pavilion was caught off guard. He felt this meeting had nothing to do with him given that Tian Sha Pavilion had disappeared and he had retired, making him a mere bystander, contemplating whether he should set up a psychological counseling institution with his sister.

Going to an unknown world did seem intriguing. The Pavilion Master of Tian Sha Pavilion thought this over and accepted.

Jiang Li then went over some essential precautions, concluding with, “That concludes our discussion on both matters. If other sects have no further proposals, we will adjourn the meeting now.”
