Chapter 77: A Dead Man

Translator: 549690339

The God-hidden Cult erged forty to fifty years ago, only leaving traces within the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty. It is said that a monk had a dream of the Respected God-hidden in his sleep, from whom he received the secret of the power of god-hiding. Upon waking, this monk founded the God-hidden Cult, becoming the Sect Hierarch, recruiting followers, and spreading the thod of obtaining the power of god-hiding.

The God-hidden Cult believes that there are hidden secrets within the human body that, if discovered, can make the attainnt of divinity as easy as common daily tasks. However, due to insufficient knowledge and experience of cultivators, it may be impossible to find one’s own hidden secrets. Fortunately, the Respected God-hidden has passed down a thod, stating that the constant Heavenly Dao leaves a line of opportunity for harnessing the power of god-hiding using others’ life force. This, however, is a Heavenly Machine, not to be lightly passed on. Non-believers should not know, and the taking of lives is detrintal to universal harmony. Each person is allowed, at most, to kill a thousand people.

This is all the information that Heavenly Secret Pavilion knows about the God-hidden Cult. The text speaks of the power of god-hiding but does not ntion the power of rit at all.

No surprise there, if they knew that the power of god-hiding was the power of rit, Jiang Li would not need to ask, as they would already be informing him about this matter.

The power of rit is the Heavenly Dao’s approval of a cultivator’s actions, equating to saying that the Heavenly Dao encourages murder!

The implications of this information are far-reaching.

Whether it is the Dao Sect or the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, both have directed their attention towards the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty. Of course, Jiang Li intends to visit and he even suspects that the secret of the Lord Commanding General that the Dragon patriarch once spoke about is this God-hidden Cult.

In fact, Jiang Li wanted to inquire about the situation with Yu Yin, but considering that she is currently gathering montum for the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it is not appropriate to disturb her, so he abandoned the idea.

At this ti, the atmosphere in Emperor Tianyuan Imperial City was somber. Even cultivators who were unconcerned about political affairs had heard that the Tianyuan Empress had failed her attempt at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and sustained internal injuries. The imperial physicians were helpless; even the elder from the Alchemy Peak invited by Dao Sect could only shake his head and suggest convalescence to avoid anger.

The Tianyuan Empress heeded the advice of the physicians, retreated into the Yangxin Hall for recuperation and left the handling of state affairs to her ministers.

The forr Tianyuan Royal Family, sensing a rare opportunity, felt regret by the Empress’ arrogance in not purging them. Now was the ti to make her regret her arrogance, pull her down from the throne, viciously trample her on the ground – taking their pleasure in her suffering!

They exploited every opportunity, liaising with various forces and influential court officials, intent on overthrowing Yu Yin’s rule!

Even General Che Wu, who was mostly stationed at the border, returned to the court. He stated that there was only small-scale warfare with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was nothing to fear.

However, everyone knew that the Empress did not order General Che Wu to return to the court, this was the decision made by the ministers!

No one knew for sure whether this was permitted by the Empress or it was decided by the ministers themselves.

A Qi cultivator of Body Integration Realm who has killed countless people could influence the impending rebellion!

The imperial city, which used to be the most orderly of all the cities in the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, had changed. After all, the nobles of the dynasty always put on an amicable facade, and never tore off their masks. But now, either the Ministry of Justice was investigating murder cases on the streets, or they were catching culprits, or the responsibilities of the two departnts were reversed.

Their duties had begun to overlap and create chaos.

Jiang Li stood in front of the mansion of General Che Wu, surrounded by personnel from the Ministry of Justice and the prefecture interrogating and investigating the murder case.

The deceased was nad Che Wu, who held the position of a top general. It was initially determined that the ti of death was two hours ago. Che Wu was killed by soone in a single fatal blow, his soul escaping his body. The perpetrator remained undiscovered, deducing that it was soone Che Wu trusted.

Jiang Li encountered the old man from the God-hidden Cult two hours ago.

The Ministry of Justice, supporting the previous Tianyuan Imperial Family, and the prefecture, supporting the Tianyuan Empress, both suspected that it was soone from the other party who killed Che Wu. Although their conversations were filled with testing and probing, they couldn’t ascertain anything.

Jiang Li entered the Che Wu ‘s mansion, silently observing the expression on Che Wu’s face; fear, bewildernt, disbelief, and other emotions. Just like the myriad of victims Jiang Li had seen, Che Wu’s facial expression was quite expressive.

He couldn’t decipher anything from it, but it didn’t matter, because he knew of an individual who was an expert in this field, who could be of assistance.

“Do you have so ti right now?” Jiang Li arrived at the palace of Great Zhou Dynasty, noticing that Ji Zhi was approving morials on one side and at the sa ti swallowing a refreshing pill produced by Dao Sect.

“Forget I asked.” Jiang Li t eyes with Ji Zhi, roughly understanding why Ji

Zhi could only stay in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Too busy to cultivate.

“Do you know how many problems will arise by issuing a provisional decree regarding Spiritual Treasures?” The morials in front of Ji Zhi were nothing but the negative impacts that had arisen after implenting the decree in several trial cities. The officials consolidated them, proposed counterasures, and then were each rejected by Ji Zhi, writing out parts of the decree that needed to be anded.

“Say it, what did you co to find for?”

“Good news, General Che Wu, who’s been harassing you Great Zhou Dynasty along the border, is dead.”

Ji Zhi paused: “When did this happen?”

“Two hours ago.”

“So you ca all the way here just to tell this good news?” Ji Zhi didn’t believe Jiang Li had good intentions.

“Yes, also I want you to help find out who the murderer is.”

“I’ve used my Eye Double Vision a lot recently to obtain the best effect for the decree. As you can see, I’ve almost blinded myself. Furthermore, the decree has a pile of issues. If you’re not in a hurry, wait for about a ten days or so, when my eyes have healed, and I’ll help you investigate.”

“If you’re in a hurry, you can ask Ji Kongkong for help.”

Jiang Li rembered Ji Kongkong, the cute little girl, Ji Zhi’s daughter, the nineteenth princess of Great Zhou.

“Isn’t she just about seven or eight years old, and only up to the third level in Qi cultivation? Could she have learned Ti Retrospection?”

Ji Zhi, speaking about his youngest daughter, had a proud look on his face: “You wouldn’t know this, but my Kongkong was not in human form at birth, but was a little white fish, just like the ancestors recorded in the books! She transford into a human form when she was three years old. Her talent in the

Dao of Ti surpasses mine, and is on par with our ancestors!”

If that’s the case, Ji Kongkong’s future prospects are indeed bright.

Before Jiang Li could go to find Ji Kongkong, Ji Zhi warned anxiously: “You must protect my daughter. If she loses even a strand of hair, our friendship is over!”

Before Ji Zhi could change his mind, Jiang Li flew to the princess’s mansion, to find Ji Kongkong.

At this ti, Ji Kongkong was floating in a pool, holding a book, transforming into a tiny white fish as described in the book, experiencing the Dao of Ti.

“Hmm, it really is easier to understand in the form of a small white fish… Uncle Jiang!” As Ji Kongkong was puzzling over which form to use for cultivation, she saw Jiang Li descend with a beaming smile.

When the maid saw the little princess about to transform back into human form, she hurried over with a cloth to shield the view, helping her get dressed. Jiang Li also turned away tactfully.

After Ji Kongkong had changed her clothes, she transford back into the delicate and adorable little princess.

“Is this a book on learning the Dao of Ti from the Great Zhou Royal Family?” With Ji Kongkong’s permission, Jiang Li picked up the book she was just reading, thinking that he might also be able to learn the Dao of Ti.

Then he saw what Ji Zhi had written on the first page: Brother Jiang, don’t bother. You won’t be able to learn this.

Ji Kongkong reminded him from the side: “Father has written this sentence in all the books related to the Dao of Ti..”
