Chapter 709: Chapter 708: There are still differences in strength in the Mahayana Realm
The power of collective will of living beings is immeasurable, and requires specially designed vessels to harness it.
To this end, Jiang Li specifically gathered heavenly and earthly treasures from all over the Nine Provinces, asking the Dao Sect’s Artifact Refinement Peak to create it.
The bronze cauldron was placed in the center of the Imperial Palace, and the deep blue water formed by the concentration of collective will within the cauldron was akin to the essence of the Earth’s pulse.
This was the purest form of collective will, with a history stretching back three hundred years, and it had never been used before.
Now, Jiang Li planned to let his two good friends use it.
In recent years, the Nine Provinces had established ties with other worlds, and through numerous exchanges, the Earth’s pulse had been further strengthened in this process.
Jiang Li had inspected the Earth’s pulse located directly beneath the Imperial Palace, and it had grown several times stronger than when he first ascended to his position as Human Emperor.
“I never expected I would have a day when I’d use the collective will,” Bai Hongtu said with an excited rub of his hands as he looked at the full cauldron of collective will.
Yu Yin showed a rare hint of a smile at the sight of the collective will.
Being able to use the collective will meant that they both fulfilled the conditions to become the Human Emperor; if it wasn’t for Jiang Li, the 72nd Human Emperor would have been chosen from among them.
Even if they couldn’t become the Human Emperor, they would be content to have been recognized by the collective will.
“What will the next Human Emperor do after we use it?” Bai Hongtu hadn’t forgotten the original purpose of the bronze cauldron.
Jiang Li rolled his eyes: “This is a volume that has taken three hundred years to accumulate; if you can use it all, I will immediately relinquish my throne and become the ruler of the Underworld in Queen Hou Tu’s stead, freeing up the position of Human Emperor for you.”
Yu Yin added: “The ancient emperor once told me, the collective will can only temporarily elevate one’s physical body to the level of an Earth Immortal, and using more collective will would be useless.”
The importance of collective will lies not in the quantity, but in the quality.”
Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin sat cross-legged, floating in the air, their hands flipping in intricate gestures to form the Seal of the Emperor.
Jiang Li released his control of the collective will; the calm water of collective will in the cauldron was stirred, rippling with activity.
“Rise,” Bai Hongtu turned his palms outward, raising both hands as if supporting the heavens.
The collective will morphed into mist, floating toward the two, expanding everything from their flesh and bones to their spirits.
The power of their physical bodies gradually increased until it finally broke through the threshold, surpassing the limits of ordinary mortals and becoming an Earth Immortal’s body, entering the domain of immortality.
Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin succumbed to a splendid state, in which their bodies felt light as a feather, their sensory perceptions no longer confined to the flesh but transformed into a certain symbol, spreading out, spreading across the Nine Provinces and other worlds.
They felt as if they had merged with the Earth’s pulse; wherever the Earth’s pulse was, they were there.
Noisy voices started ringing in their ears; upon careful listening, they could distinguish various sounds.
Some people were praying for the emperor’s blessing, some were diligently cultivating, some were hoping their mothers and daughters were safe, some were wishing for successful re
“Hahaha, I, Bai Hongtu, have finally become a Mahayana!” Bai Hongtu’s laughter echoed from the mountain’s peak to its foothills, sounding extremely proud.
Now that he was also in the Mahayana Realm like Jiang Li, who could be weaker than whom?
“Jiang Li, fight me!”
Jiang Li humored Bai Hongtu’s request and punched him square in the eye.
Bai Hongtu fell onto the ground with a thud.
Jiang Li casually said: “Just now you’ve become Mahayana, which corresponds to the initial stage of an Earth Immortal.”
The speed of sound was much slower than the speed of light, so the spectators saw Bai Hongtu get punched by Jiang Li, but what they heard was Bai Hongtu’s hearty laughter stating that he had finally become Mahayana.
Even within the Mahayana Realm, there were differences in strength.
Yu Yin was much more self-aware. She knew this was just the beginning, and she was far from having the qualifications to compete with Jiang Li.
Jiang Li dragged Bai Hongtu by the leg down the mountain in a leisurely manner, Bai Hongtu’s face was shoved to the ground with his head bobbing along the way. Yu Yin followed behind, wearing an expression as if she didn’t know Bai Hongtu.
The scene was harmonious with no one getting hurt.
The Commanding General: “…”
He felt that ever since the selection of the Human Emperor, they had often witnessed such a scene.
