Chapter 584: Getting Stronger with Every Beating

“With the Ten Thousand Languages World needing reconstruction across all sectors, perhaps we can have the youngsters go there to participate in the construction efforts.”

Jiang Li felt that witnessing a civilization’s revival from collapse would be very beneficial for the Human Sovereign candidates’ mental states.

Jiang Li believed the Human Sovereign’s responsibility lay in helping civilizations develop.

Moreover, during the process of assisting with reconstruction, encountering difficulties, discussing them, and resolving them would also help the youngsters grow.

“After letting them roam freely for over a year, it’s time to find something for the youngsters to do.” Through the Human Sovereign mark, Jiang Li had been quietly observing the youngsters’ growth.

Yuan Wuxing’s Five-Colored Divine Light had reached Minor Achievement.

Qin Luan remained a virgin.

Li Nian’er was visiting Spirit Transformation stage seniors in order, challenging them sequentially.

Ji Kongkong and Ji Zhi were locked in a battle of wits, with Ji Zhi wanting to abdicate while Ji Kongkong absolutely refused to become the next Zhou Emperor. During this process, both father and daughter were deepening their comprehension of the time Dao.

Yu Youxian was cultivating in the Mingzhong World while working as a streamer to build up her courage.

The Luo Ying siblings had just been seen, having obtained the Music Immortal’s musical score. Before this, the siblings had encountered many difficulties, but had resolved them all through wisdom and ruthless determination.

Yu Feng, Senior Sister Wu Lian, Little Green Snake, and Xia Chao – these four had met up in a secret realm, and after leaving, formed a team to travel throughout the Nine Provinces.

If there was anything particularly noteworthy, it was probably that after Sword Sovereign learned that Seven Kill Daozi had entered the Beast Taming Sect, he didn’t get angry – he just fed Seven Kill Daozi Qi Gathering Pills every day until Seven Kill Daozi was vomiting sword energy. While his swordpath cultivation increased dramatically, he suffered terribly.

Seven Kill Daozi now didn’t even dare to kiss, fearing he might injure the Mermen Tribe Princess.

He was probably the person who most wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Languages World.

“If that’s the case, then that would be wonderful.” The Four Seas Dragon Pearls were overjoyed. The Human Sovereign candidates were all outstanding individuals with hearts for the world. With these people going to the Ten Thousand Languages World, it could be expected that the world would enter an even faster development period.

After Jiang Li finished speaking with the Four Seas Dragon Pearls, the Yin-Yang Heaven Seal began introducing the immortal artifact cultivation method it had researched.

“Through research, I’ve discovered that self-cultivation for immortal artifacts is impossible. You can’t learn my automatic cultivation method.”

The Yin-Yang Heaven Seal’s opening statement was extremely punchable.

“We immortal artifacts all have specialties in certain areas. For example, I excel in the causality Dao and enlightening spiritual intelligence, while Brahma Tower excels in the spatial Dao.”

“Since gaining spiritual intelligence, everyone should have become increasingly proficient with the abilities they control – this is the advantage of gaining spiritual intelligence.”

Brahma Tower was the first to agree with the Yin-Yang Heaven Seal’s words: “Indeed, compared to before, I’ve gained new insights into the spatial Dao. I now feel that despite having abundant power, I’m limited by my body and cannot fully unleash it.”

Other immortal artifacts chimed in one after another, saying they had encountered the same problem – feeling their power growing but being unable to express it.

“Right, right, I feel like my hitting power could be greater.” Other Mountain Stone’s characteristic was hitting with unerring accuracy.

“All four of us also feel our defensive capabilities could still improve.” The Four Seas Dragon Pearls’ characteristic was powerful defensive capability.

“The power of my manuscript could also be stronger than before.” The Great Scholar’s Manuscript’s characteristic was Words Become Reality.

“Master could step on me with even greater force.” The Wishful Gourd’s characteristic was enjoying being stepped on.

Yu Yin knocked the yellow-skinned gourd: “Behave.”

“The situation you’re all encountering is the prerequisite for improving quality.” The circumstances the immortal artifacts encountered were all within the Yin-Yang Heaven Seal’s expectations, or rather, exactly what it wanted.

Except for the Wishful Gourd.

“We were originally objects, but now we’re objects with spiritual intelligence. To improve quality, there are two conditions: first, comprehension and proficiency in improving our respective fields; second, strengthening our bodies.”

The Four Seas Dragon Pearls were puzzled: “But our bodies are all made of immortal gold and divine stone, materials rare even in the Immortal Realm, only nurtured in places rich with immortal energy. I vaguely remember when the dragon tribe forged me, they scrimped and saved for over a hundred years. The Nine Provinces couldn’t possibly have these materials.”

Strengthening immortal artifact bodies required even rarer immortal gold and divine stone.

“It’s not necessarily the only method. Through research, I’ve discovered that after special refining techniques, we can become stronger.”

The Yin-Yang Heaven Seal had no expression, but the immortal artifacts still felt their big brother was smirking maliciously.

“I’ll now teach these special techniques to Human Sovereign Jiang and Yu Yin.”

After studying for half a day, Jiang Li discovered these special techniques were essentially artifact refining methods.

Couldn’t learn them. Had to rely on Yu Yin.

As expected, Yu Yin quickly mastered them: “These techniques aren’t difficult. What’s difficult is that they require powerful external force tempering.”

Yu Yin looked at Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li, the Yin-Yang Heaven Seal looked at Jiang Li, and all the immortal artifacts looked at Jiang Li.

“Just say it directly – what do you need me to do?” Jiang Li spread his hands, ready to do whatever was needed. He didn’t have many virtues, but he did have plenty of strength.

Bai Hongtu chuckled and revealed their true intention: “Combat. Fight with the immortal artifacts. While Yu Yin uses the immortal artifacts to fight you, she’ll simultaneously apply the special refining techniques. You don’t need to worry about anything else – just focus on hitting. Control your strength so it won’t damage the immortal artifacts but still gives them pressure.”

“I’ll transfer control of the Spirit Plant Formation to Yu Yin. At that time, Yu Yin will boost her power to Celestial Immortal level to fight you.”

Yu Yin looked at Bai Hongtu in surprise. Wasn’t this guy usually the first to jump at any opportunity to challenge Jiang Li? Why was he changing his ways now?

Of course, Bai Hongtu wouldn’t say that this time he chose to observe because he wanted to study Jiang Li’s fighting style from a spectator’s perspective.

After reflection, Bai Hongtu believed that defeating Jiang Li required a step-by-step approach – you couldn’t become fat in one bite.

The first step was to reduce the number of beatings he took.

As the leader, organizer, and core figure of the Jiang Li conquest campaign, how could he always charge at the forefront?

The immortal artifacts finally understood their big brother’s meaning – this was about making them come here to get beaten.

They all retreated, having second thoughts.

The Wishful Gourd said tremulously: “This is the Jiang Li Tribulation! For us immortal artifacts, this is the Jiang Li Tribulation!”

Right after gaining spiritual intelligence, they had been slapped by Jiang Li’s big slaps until they couldn’t tell east from west – it had practically become their nightmare.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous. To become stronger, enduring some hardship is inevitable. Compared to Bai Hongtu’s experience of growing up while being beaten by Jiang Li all along, you’ve received too few real-world beatings.”

“Brahma Tower, don’t you often say that if your material quality improved, you could establish more stable spatial passages?”

“Other Mountain Stone, you’ve also said you want to work hard to become stronger to protect Island Master Mo from dragon tribe harassment.”

“Four Seas Dragon Pearls, you also said you wanted to become defensively powerful enough to block Other Mountain Stone’s attacks, allowing Island Master Mo to marry into the Four Seas.”

“Great Scholar’s Manuscript, you said you hope your writing could have more power, letting the world witness how literature can subdue enemies, with each character weighing a thousand pounds.”

“Wishful Gourd, you said… oh, your wish has already been fulfilled.”

The Yin-Yang Heaven Seal spoke without feeling any pressure – it could upgrade itself and didn’t need to endure Jiang Li’s tempering.

After their big brother’s encouragement, the immortal artifacts finally steeled their determination and marched toward the execution ground.

Forming a stark contrast with the immortal artifacts was Yu Yin, brimming with fighting spirit.

Yu Yin revealed an excited smile. Fighting Jiang Li – this was something she would never tire of, no matter how many times.

“Fight?”

“Fight!”

With the national fortune enveloping her, the Spirit Plant Formation empowering her, holding the Wishful Gourd in hand, Other Mountain Stone hanging from her chest, the Great Scholar’s Manuscript and Brahma Tower standing on either side, and the Four Seas Dragon Pearls positioned behind her, slowly rotating while emitting a deep blue light.

One Celestial Immortal, five immortal artifacts.
