Human Emperor Ascends to Immortality

The Great Zhou Imperial Palace was where nearly all the high-level cultivators of the Nine Provinces had gathered.

These people had originally been summoned by Jiang Li to the Great Zhou border. Half an hour had passed since Jiang Li killed three Golden Immortals and vanished while pursuing the Heavenly Origin Immortal Lord.

During that half hour, Ji Zhi felt that this was, after all, Great Zhou territory, and that he ought to fulfill his duties as host. He suggested that everyone rest at the Great Zhou Imperial Palace while waiting for Jiang Li to return.

No one particularly cared where they stayed, but Ji Zhi's warm hospitality was hard to refuse, so they agreed.

When the Ministry of Rites officials heard the news, they nearly suffered heart attacks and dropped dead on the spot.

Normally, a visit to Great Zhou by all the high-level cultivators of the Nine Provinces required at least seven days of preparation. Yet His Majesty had suddenly pulled this stunt, leaving them not even a moment to prepare. Did he think everyone in the Ministry of Rites had Three Heads Six Arms? Inside the hall, Bai Hongtu played chess with Yu Yin while complaining that Jiang Li was far too inefficient. "It's been half an hour already. Why is there still no news from Jiang Li?"

"The Immortal World is nothing much. He still hasn't settled it after half an hour."

"Make your move already. If you lose, we can just start another game." Bai Hongtu yawned in utter boredom and urged Yu Yin on.

Yu Yin frowned slightly, still considering where to place her white piece.

"Sword Monarch, in order to cultivate the Flawless Golden Body, I trained every part of my body. There is not a single weak point left—not even my hair."
