"The beauty often sleeps. I brought her to the golden house three years ago, and she has been sleeping for three years. Even if there is a great commotion outside, she will not wake up," Meng Jiang Huang explained, or they wouldn't dare to make such a big noise, as if it were a heavenly tribulation.
"Don't look at her, the beauty is mine!" Meng Jiang Huang seemed out of control again. Jiang Li lifted him out of the golden house, and only then did Meng Jiang Huang come to his senses.
Seeing this, Wei Huang and Zhang Konghuo quickly left the golden house. They had almost lost control, just like Meng Jiang Huang.
"Where did you find this woman?"
"During the Western Hunt, I ventured alone into the depths of the forest, intending to hunt black bears. Unexpectedly, I found a celestial-like beauty sleeping under an ancient tree. I felt unworthy of touching her with my mortal body, so I used the void to bring her back to the palace and built the golden house to house her. Emperor Jiang, don't you feel anything seeing the beauty?"
"Feel? She's very beautiful."
"Is that all?" Wei Huang asked.
"Among the women I've seen, she's the most beautiful."
"That's it?" Zhang Konghuo asked.
"That's it."
"Isn't there any desire to claim ownership and appreciate her?"
"No."
"Emperor Jiang's nature is beyond ordinary." The three could say nothing else, so they could only say that.
"This woman is of great significance. I'm going to the Red Dust Paradise to confirm some things. I hope both of you will stay true to your hearts and not be captivated by beauty. Konghuo, keep an eye on the gate of the golden house for me. Do not let anyone in before I return."
Jiang Li instructed, still not at ease, and crushed a jade piece to set up a large array.
Perhaps because all of his talents were focused on combat and cultivation, Jiang Li was completely clueless about array formations, alchemy, and artifact forging. Now, he relied on the jade pieces given to him by the Master of the Dao Sect to set up arrays.
He had tried to learn these things on his own multiple times, and after several attempts, he completely gave up hope of mastering the hundred arts of cultivation.
Jiang Li now only hoped that he could ascend to the immortal realm. It was said that after becoming an immortal, one could master all the arts of cultivation, so perhaps by then, he would be able to learn one or two of them.
I hope the system will really let me ascend.
...
In the western region of the Nine States, there were two major sects that drew the most attention: the compassionate Buddhist sect and the Red Dust Paradise, which only had women.
The Buddhist sect performed meritorious deeds to accumulate blessings for the world and was widely known, while the Red Dust Paradise was almost reclusive, with few people venturing outside. The world only heard its name but had not seen its people, so there were many legends about the Red Dust Paradise, but the credibility of these stories was very low.
