Chapter 544: Wrong teleportation?
“Special mission ‘Find Celestial Ascension Ladder Fragments’ issued: The Qixin World is peaceful and harmonious, a technological world that has experienced three industrial revolutions, possessing technological products that the Nine Provinces World lacks, such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc. Please sell the technological products of the Qixin World to the Nine Provinces World. Please earn ten thousand top-grade spirit stones by selling Qixin World’s technological products.”
“The host can freely travel between the two worlds during the mission period.”
“Mission reward: One Celestial Ascension Ladder fragment.”
“Sell mobile phones and computers to the Nine Provinces World to earn ten thousand top-grade spirit stones?!”
Jiang Li felt the system was messing with him.
The Mingzhong World was already considering selling their light brains to the Nine Provinces, and now the system wanted him to make money by selling mobile phones.
If he could earn even one spirit stone from this, he would consider himself incredibly capable.
Light brains were the pinnacle achievement of Mingzhong World’s technological products—they could function as mobile phones and computers, project 3D holographic movies, contained artificial intelligence, and could be controlled by thought… They were countless levels ahead of tablet computers.
The Mingzhong World had experienced at least seven industrial revolutions.
“Even if I’m supposed to be a cross-world trader, at least give me something useful to sell.”
“The system probably thinks Nine Provinces cultivators have never seen mobile phones before and would be so excited they’d be willing to pay high prices in spirit stones.”
Jiang Li had a headache—none of the system’s missions were reliable.
Jiang Li also noticed the system’s description said “The Qixin World is peaceful and harmonious.”
Could it be that the Qixin World wasn’t interfered with by the Immortal Realm?
“Let me go take a look first.”
…
“Is this the Qixin World?” Jiang Li stood on a collapsed tower, frowning in confusion.
Where Jiang Li stood was a vast continent, roughly one-third the size of the Nine Provinces World, which was already an impressive scale.
Collapsed majestic buildings, charred corpses, inverted mountains, dried-up oceans, damaged fallen stars, fragmented spiritual energy… There wasn’t a trace of living human presence.
Clearly, this place had experienced an apocalyptic-level disaster.
Jiang Li jumped down from the tower and picked up a broken spiritual treasure.
Similar spiritual treasures were scattered everywhere.
“This isn’t a technological world—it’s a cultivation world.”
Those charred corpses weren’t ordinary human bodies, but rather a Unity Stage great cultivator who had been burned alive.
The Unity Stage involved the unification of three elements, yet someone had managed to burn him to death—one could imagine what kind of torture he had endured before dying.
“Has the system finally broken down to the point where even its teleportation function is malfunctioning?” The more experiences Jiang Li had, the more useless the system seemed.
Now even its most useful function—finding Celestial Ascension Ladder fragments—was broken beyond recognition.
“That Idle One really had it tough, managing to cultivate to the Mahayana Stage with such a difficult-to-use system.” Jiang Li amused himself while searching for clues.
The system’s teleportation couldn’t be wrong—this definitely was the Qixin World, though he didn’t know why it had changed from a technological world to a cultivation world.
Jiang Li contacted Bai Hongtu and tested the time flow—five hundred years had passed in the Nine Provinces, while only one hundred years had passed here.
“Such massive changes happened in just one hundred years?”
Jiang Li entered the tower. Using his spiritual sense, he noticed a skeleton inside the tower, hunched over a desk writing something—still writing even in his final moments.
When he died, he had protected the notebook, allowing it to survive the disaster.
“This deceased cultivator was similar to a court historian, recording the general history of this world.”
The language rules were the same. Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to scan everything with writing and deduced the meaning of the text based on the context.
This level of computation posed no difficulty for Jiang Li’s spiritual sense.
“Our world is named Jingyu World, a cultivation civilization with a long history that has produced two ascended immortals.”
“The ascended immortals were one righteous and one demonic, ascending simultaneously. Before their ascension, they left behind two different traditions.”
“Followers of these two traditions engaged in both open and covert struggles within Jingyu World for ten thousand years, never reaching a definitive outcome.”
“In recent millennia, both righteous and demonic traditions produced exceptionally talented disciples, called ‘Juvenile Immortals,’ who were highly likely to achieve the magnificent feat of simultaneous righteous and demonic ascension, thereby expanding Jingyu World’s influence in the Immortal Realm.”
“These two individuals lived up to expectations, continuously encountering fortuitous opportunities and simultaneously advancing to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.”
“However, an unexpected disaster suddenly arrived—a bizarre-looking immortal-level creature appeared in Jingyu World, and many monsters poured out from within this immortal-level creature, ranging from Unity Stage to Foundation Establishment Stage. They wreaked massive destruction.”
“At this critical moment, Jingyu World united. High-level cultivators mobilized to combat the Unity Stage and Spirit Transformation Stage monsters, while the leaders of the righteous and demonic traditions joined forces to face the enemy, wielding immortal artifacts against the immortal-level creature.”
“The two Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators using immortal artifacts had a sixty percent chance of victory against the mindless immortal-level creature. But then the demonic leader suddenly shouted that a face had appeared beneath the immortal-level creature’s skin—the face of the demonic immortal who had ascended to the Immortal Realm ten thousand years ago.”
“The demonic leader’s mentality collapsed. The righteous leader struggled to hold on alone, but Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators are ultimately mortal, while immortals represent an unstoppable tide—mortals ultimately cannot withstand the rolling momentum.”
“The righteous and demonic leaders perished in the mouth of the immortal-level creature. The battle lines collapsed. Perhaps out of disdain, the immortal-level creature didn’t attack again, leaving the monsters it spawned to slaughter all living beings.”
“The fierce battle continued for several months. During this time, we saw the dawn of victory multiple times, but we soon realized these were only false hopes.”
“Three months later, Jingyu World perished. I might be the last survivor. Now a monster stands outside the tower, staring intently at me, its enormous eye filling the entire window. I’m probably going to die.”
“If there are any survivors, I hope you remember this history and revive the prosperity of our Jingyu World… Wait, what’s that? The starry sky is undergoing an unprecedented change…”
The notes ended here, with the final stroke dragging into a long line. Presumably, the monster had eaten Jingyu World’s last person, and he was still gripping the pen when he died, causing this situation.
Jiang Li stored the notebook with complex emotions.
“What did he mean by ‘the starry sky is undergoing change’?”
Jiang Li expanded his spiritual sense, scanning every inch of land until he found a recording sphere that documented the scene before the world’s destruction.
The recording sphere showed an apocalyptic sound more terrifying than the Ascension Tribulation spreading throughout the entire world. The sound was dull but inexplicably irritating to hear. Then the starry sky cracked, space shattered, and great stars fell.
Even if a Celestial Immortal had intervened, it wouldn’t have been as terrifying as this.
A gap appeared in the starry sky. Instead of void astral winds pouring in from the gap area, it revealed the starry sky of another world.
“Did two worlds collide?!”
Jiang Li suddenly looked up. Previously, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual, thinking the starry sky was normal. Now he realized that Jingyu World and Qixin World had collided, with Jingyu World’s stars falling due to the impact.
Some of the stars above Jiang Li’s head now came from Qixin World.
The system hadn’t made a teleportation error—Jingyu World and Qixin World were now connected.
Jiang Li summoned the store function and discovered it contained items from both Jingyu World and Qixin World.
This place was both Jingyu World and Qixin World.
