Chapter 728: Chapter 727: Another Mystery, The Sixth Heaven of the Human Realm

After obtaining the jade brand, Li Jing takes a quick look and casually hands one half to Ye Piaoran, while focusing his mind.

The Spirit God whispers.

In a flash.

Everyone including Puchen loses his consciousness and memories about Li Jing’s motives to acquire the "certificate" are fundamentally erased.

The whisper of the Spirit God is merely a skill acquired after a Limit Breakthrough.

But even this is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not to mention other things.

The increases in power of Li Jing’s Limit Breakthrough skill are accompanied by advancement in his cultivation level, unlike conventional skills that are restricted by the cultivation level and have a maximum limit.

Factually.

The moment Li Jing broke through the Sixteenth Realm by breaking the realm constraint, all the skills he mastered were qualitatively changed accordingly.

Their power is far beyond what it used to be.

In the past, using the whisper of the Spirit God, Li Jing could at most temporarily control others at the spirit level.

Now, with his horrific cultivation level of the late Eighteenth Realm, those below the Seventeenth Realm are powerless against his whisper of the Spirit God. Erasing memories is done effortlessly.

Looking intently as Li Jing concealed his Demonic Qi and returned to his original form, the crowd around him was still stunned after losing their senses, which made Ye Piaoran frown slightly.

"Brother Li, these people..."

"They are fine, I simply erased their memories related to seeing you and me."

Li Jing responded quickly, handing over the jade brand belonging to Ye Piaoran.

Seeing this, Ye Piaoran unconsciously reaches out to take it, showing a slightly puzzled expression.

"Brother Li, your request to engrave the jade brand in this way must be to make Chen Tang City famous in the Upper Three Realms, so why...?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jing shook his head.

"You’re thinking too much. I never considered making Chen Tang City famous in the Upper Three Realms."

"..."

Ye Piaoran.

"In the end, we Chen Tang City is the gateway to the Lower World Immortal Realm, which has nothing to do with the Upper Three Realms."

Li Jing smiled, and said.

"And I’m not hiding anything from you, I don’t have the slightest intention of venturing into the Upper Three Realms. If it wasn’t for the matter of Candle Dragon and you this time, I would not have come here."

Hearing such words from him, Ye Piaoran’s delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.

"Brother Li, I don’t understand..."

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand now, but you will understand later."

Li Jing smiled, stepping forward towards the passage between the two realms leading to the Little World.

Seeing this, Ye Piaoran hurriedly followed his pace amidst confusion.

...

Must say.

The clear demarcation of hierarchy within the Upper Three Realms and the Little World existing between the Nine Heavy Heavens is quite peculiar.

Upon entering the passage, you’re directly in the Little World.

There is no spatial displacement process in between.

The Nine Heavy Heavens exist in the same spatial level. There’s nothing wrong in being able to move between different levels without spatial displacement.

Li Jing’s understanding of spatial rules tells him that the Little World is another spatial level. It’s not even part of the Nine Heavy Heavens.

The Little World is completely independent, even forming its own world.

Referring to itself as a world with its own sky and earth certainly can’t be called layered space or anything, it can be more described as a Mini World.

But the Little World is truly small.

Upon entering the Little World, Li Jing does not need to extend his spirit to feel tangibly that the total size of the Little World is nearly one-tenth of the Blue Star.

This.

It really can’t be considered as large.

Any inhabitant of the Tenth Realm could cross it at full speed in a mere moment.

Mini World?

Don’t make me laugh.

This scheme is not even comparable to a slightly larger layered space.

Nevertheless, the Little World is a self-contained world.

Moreover, it is also subject to some very subtle rules that Li Jing can’t grasp.

With his current cultivation level.

All the thousands of rules in the world exist within his recognition, and it’s unlikely that he can’t grasp them.

If there is.

That can only mean one thing.

Similar rules are not the type found in the Big World reality.

While traversing the Little World, Li Jing didn’t hurry. He tried to feel the unknown rules inside the Little World, but he couldn’t understand them.

Without attempting further, Li Jing narrowed his eyes.

The ungraspable rules inside the Little World naturally reminded him of the Eternal God Kingdom which he had recently encountered.

The Big World is full of surprises.

The existence of rules is even more complex inside.

Li Jing is not omniscient and omnipotent.

Meeting rules not found in the Big World, it can only be said that he is not knowledgeable enough.

But the Upper Three Realms are inherently part of the Big World’s exterior.

There is no reason why rules not found in the Big World would appear.

He was told by Star Cloud Heavenly Path on Star Cloud Great World that items similar to the mysterious slab were placed in every Big World by the Eternal God Kingdom at least once.

The Universe Great World will also have it, which is not a guess at all.

On the spot, Li Jing did not care much about it, nor did he bother to track it down.

The Eternal God Kingdom’s designs could derail the Big World at any given time, but whether or not these items will be obtained and how they will be used is another matter.

Take the mysterious slab obtained by Amaterasu for example.

Even though the slab was successfully deciphered and put to use, Amaterasu didn’t have such a big plan to shake the entire Big World to the core. Also, she couldn’t bring out all the functions recorded in the mysterious slab.

This was purely a blind cat finding a dead mouse, and it ended up eradicating the Upper Three Realms and sneakily harming the Star Cloud Heavenly Path a bit.

The Star Cloud Heavenly Path itself was just not encountering the weird void creature called Destruction Spore Group. It did not know how to deal with it until too late, leading to its own decline.

This.

There is no need to specifically search for it.

Even if he would counter, Li Jing doesn’t even know where to start the search.

The vastness of the Big World is not simple to comprehend.

Not to mention the Big World.

As of now, Li Jing doesn’t even know how big his Little Universe actually is.

If it wasn’t for his ability as the founder to move freely within the Little Universe and have complete control over it, coupled with the assistance of Little A, he would not be able to manage effectively.

Dreaming of finding the Eternal God Kingdom’s designs in the Universe Great World, which may not have been arranged in a known place, is purely a delusion.

Going back to before.

The Eternal God Kingdom obviously doesn’t ignore its designs once they are set in motion.

Even if he finds the objects and performs a ’harmless’ treatment, the Eternal God Kingdom will definitely redo the designs afterward>.

The people of the Eternal God Kingdom don’t take direct action against the Big World because of respect for the Big World Heavenly Path. However, as the Eternal God Kingdom is outside the Big World, the Big World Heavenly Path cannot do anything about them.

Simply put, it’s as follows.

No matter what they do, as long as they do not directly enter the Big World, the Big World Heavenly Path does not have the ability to retaliate.

Isn’t this pushing boundaries excessively?

Their designs themselves are largely ’fortuitous’.

Regardless of whether the design has met its intended function, which weakens the Big World enough for them to intervene, they must have designs in place.

The point is to have a ’just in case’.

Li Jing doesn’t possibly have the energy to deal with this.

But right now.

The rules in the Little World that cannot be grasped practically openly guide him that the Little World, which is nestled in between the Nine Heavy Heavens, is the design of the Eternal God Kingdom.

This...

Does Heavenly Path Sister know about this?

It’s so obvious.

She probably knows, right...?

At that thought, Li Jing’s face took on a strange look.

Everything else was of no importance.

The key point was that the design threatening the Universe Great World seemed to have been used purposefully, becoming a design that "benefits" the Upper Three Realms, rather than being a potential threat to the big world.

Each Little World existing at the intersection of the Nine Heavy Heavens had unique resources that only they could provide.

This could easily be associated with the rules that Li Jing was not able to grasp.

When it came to how the output was handled, every relevant power firmly controlled it, leaving no room for others to intervene.

To reach a point where others can’t interfere, the methods of handling must be very subtle.

Li Jing did not think too much beforehand.

Upon considering this now, those various forces seem not to have "developed" this themselves...

The Upper Three Realms were full of top cultivators with profound cultivation levels and plenty of professionals, making scarcity unlikely.

What you can research, others can research as well.

Where there’s demand, there’s a market.

There might be unique divine objects, but there’s no reason why each handling method should be controlled by a specific force or person.

Unless the divine objects involved some means that the Big World couldn’t execute.

As to this point.

The situation was becoming clearer, wasn’t it?

The Eternal Divine Kingdom included designs against each Great World that involve certain technologies.

From this, we can deduce.

Each Little World existing at the intersection of the Nine Heavy Heavens is a "byproduct" of technology born from someone or some people interpreting the objects of the Eternal Divine Kingdom.

While it is unknown who exactly is responsible, they clearly were not overly greedy.

They all shared equally.

And each of them controlled the handling method of a certain output, thus maintaining balance.

Li Jing had reason to be suspicious.

The one who interpreted the related technology of the Eternal Divine Kingdom must be very clear about the potential harm it could do to the Big World, so the related technology would be broken down and applied, possibly avoiding the direct impact of the technology.

Therefore.

The Heavenly Taoist Big Sister chose to turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, with the Will of Heaven’s style of doing things, the Nine Heavy Heaven’s would have to experience a fundamental destruction and reshuffling.

Hiss...

What a development.

Reflecting upon it, Li Jing sincerely exclaimed.

Understanding all the details, he had no intention to interfere with the Little World.

...

Passing directly through the Little World, Li Jing and Ye Piaoran came to the Human Taoist Sixth Heaven.

Unlike the Five Heavy Sky, which was controlled by Buddhism.

The exit of the Little World channel was not one bald head after another but scholars exuding an air of purity and wisdom, dressed in snow-white garments.

You wouldn’t believe it.

In comparison, this place was more pleasant to the eye, and it wasn’t by a small margin either.

Especially with a considerable number of women dressed as scholars.

They didn’t attempt to disguise themselves as men but displayed their feminine charm in a variety of ways.

At a glance.

It was pleasing to the eyes.

Of course, the men were not bad either.

After all, the Sixth Heaven of Human Taoist was the territory of Confucianism.

Confucianism was famous for emphasizing personality and generosity.

Even when many of them are pretending, they aren’t comparable to those bald monks of Buddhism pretending to be sympathetic.

Worth mentioning is.

From these scholars, one could clearly perceive an astounding aura of intelligence.

They were the participants from the Upper Three Realms.

They belonged to a different level compared to the Confucianists Li Jing had seen in the Immortal Realm, even the intelligence of Sun Qu, a former Confucian leader he had seen, was also quite weak.

Li Jing and Ye Piaoran walked out of the passageway one after another soon, and a scholar who looked rather frail came forward to greet them.

With a friendly smile on his face, the scholar bowed slightly towards the two as he met them.

"Fellow Taoists, good afternoon, welcome to the Sixth Heaven of the Human Realm. Please show your identity Jade Brand, so we may complete the formalities."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Piaoran glanced towards a certain someone.

They both had identity Jade Brands.

However, Li Jing had erased the memory of everyone at the other end of the passageway, including Pu Chen, so no information could be passed on.

Under these circumstances.

There was no point in having an identity Jade Brand engraved in that fashion. Even if it was made using the techniques of the Five Heavy Sky, no one would recognize it.

Seeing that Ye Piaoran was looking at him, Li Jing smiled gently and naturally took out his own Jade Brand and handed it over.

Seeing this, Ye Piaoran frowned, but still handed over his own Jade Brand.

Having received both of their Jade Brands, the scholar, as expected, furrowed his brow immediately.

What the heck?

Immortal Realm Chen Tang City?

This was clearly the identity Jade Brand from the Five Heavy Sky, wasn’t it?

Looking up at Li Jing and Ye Piaoran, he returned the Jade Brands to them.

"Your Jade Brands are not recognized, please go back."

As expected, they were asked to "please leave", causing Ye Piaoran once again to glance at a certain someone.

Yet, Li Jing didn’t seem perturbed and cocked his head to ask.

"Why isn’t it recognized? What’s the problem with the Jade Brand?"

"You two should know full well what’s wrong with the Jade Brand. While it’s uncertain how you obtained such a Jade Brand, if you plan to cause trouble, you’re greatly underestimating my Sixth Heaven of Confucianism."

The scholar’s tone changed, responding coldly.

While speaking, he gestured to several guards watching the channel nearby.

Upon seeing his signal, the guards immediately came over without hesitation.

The scholar responsible for verifying Li Jing and Ye Piaoran’s identities opened his mouth again with a disgruntled look on his face.

"I’m giving both of you one last chance: go back the way you came and arrange for a valid Jade Brand with the relevant personnel from the Five Heavy Sky. If you insist on causing trouble, we’ll regretfully have to offend you and..."

He didn’t finish his sentence when a beautifully dressed scholar-girl appeared in mid-air.

All the scholars present greeted her respectfully upon her arrival.

"Greetings, Manager Nalan."

Upon seeing everyone bowing, the woman known as Manager Nalan gave a noncommittal "hmm" and then glanced at Li Jing and Ye Piaoran to ask.

"What’s the problem?"

"These two have Jade Brands with proper engravings from the Five Heavy Sky, yet the content is flawed. I suspect these are forgeries."

The scholar replied in a straightforward manner.

The woman slightly frowned upon hearing this.

Forgery of Jade Brands was common.

But due to the distinct engraving method of the Nine Heavy Heavens, they could usually be spotted at a glance.

Only some Jade Brands obtained through unconventional means could cause deception. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The engraving is fine, but the content has problems...

This was her first time encountering such an issue.

Taking a closer look at Li Jing and Ye Piaoran, she was startled when her gaze rested on the latter. She hastily moved on to the former, bowing with respect.

"Junior student Nalan Mingxue, greetings Senior Jiu."

"Tsk."

Li Jing made a noise.

???

Ye Piaoran.

Li Jing...

Why the tsking?

Looking again at a certain someone’s disdainful glance thrown casually aside, Ye Piaoran was utterly confused.
