Chapter 539: Chapter 538: Since We’re All Here
Jiang Li felt it necessary to take a tour of the Taming Beast Sect.
If the news was false, that would be best. If true, he would render it false.
Before he left, Jiang Li called over a few of his commanders, discussing the matter of obtaining the coordinates of the worlds across the Ten Thousand Realms from the Underworld.
“Announcing the coordinates of the Ten Thousand Realms to Jiuzhou is a significant task. If I am the only one to deliver the news, it may not be convincing enough. I suggest holding a ceremony where you, Hall Master, announce it personally,” Commander Liu expressed his belief that their announcement would not have the desired impact if it came just from them.
Commander Liu had a premonition that this matter would become a major event in future history books.
“Then, I leave this task to you, Commander Liu,” Jiang Li thanked him.
After Jiang Li left, Zhang Konghu scratched his head and asked, “When did Brother Jiang go to the Underworld?”
“No idea.”
“I’ve never heard about it.”
“Seems like it makes no difference whether the Hall Master is here or not?”
Seeing their noisy discussion, Commander Liu had to explain, “The Hall Master dies quickly, but resurrects just as quickly. There was no time to inform you.”
Commander Liu had prepared for Jiang Li to stay in the Underworld for a few years. Who would have guessed that he would wake up in a few days?
…
The Taming Beast Sect was located on the outskirts of the Wuyue Empire, adjacent to the territory of the White Marsh Empire.
The rulers of Wuyue constantly feared waking to find that the Taming Beast Sect had annexed part of their territory, pledging allegiance to the White Marsh Empire.
The relationship between the Taming Beast Sect and the White Marsh Empire was just too good.
The relationships between the disciples of the Taming Beast Sect and their monster beasts could be anything from friends, siblings, husbands and wives, to harems…
The Taming Beast Sect was home to several Human Body Integration Realm cultivators and monster beasts at the Body Integration Realm. In terms of overall power, they ranked first among the top sects of the Wuyue Empire.
If the Wuyue Empire didn’t have the national fortune to touch the boundaries of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, the power of the Taming Beast Sect would indeed outdo the Wuyue kingdom itself.
[Quest release: You obtained the legacy of the real man of Wanshou from the cliff under the Great Wei Empire.

You have assiduously practiced the beast taming method and are unmatched in that aspect now. You have wanted to challenge the elders of the Taming Beast Sect, but you have not been able to find an opportunity. The Taming Beast Sect is recruiting disciples now, please participate in the entrance examination to alert the higher-ups.]
[This quest can be abandoned]
[Quest reward: A copy of the “Taming Beast Immortal Classic”, one beast controlling imprint, a bottle of Green Wood Spirit Refining Liquid]
“Assiduously practiced the beast taming method?” Jiang Li looked strange, “It shouldn’t have anything to do with the White Marsh Emperor, right?”
Ever since he met the idle folk, Jiang Li felt that the tasks issued by the guild were associated with matchmaking.
“Since I am already here, it wouldn’t hurt to take on a side quest.”
The Taming Beast Sect recruits once every ten years. The guild’s task release naturally coincided with the sect’s recruitment five hundred years later.
Jiang Li ran into unexpected people here.
“The Seven Killers, Rain Little Meng, and Li Jiaojiao.”
Rain Little Meng was the little princess of the Mermaid tribe, with a voluptuous body, and had confirmed a Taoist relationship with the Seven Killers.
Li Jiaojiao was the little princess of the South Jiao Dragon Tribe, with a slender physique. She had confirmed a Taoist relationship with the Seven Killers unilaterally.
The Seven Killers, caught helplessly in the middle, saw Jiang Li as their savior and hastily broke free to run over to him.
“Human Emperor.” The three of them saluted together.
Li Jiaojiao and Rain Little Meng were at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and the Seven Killers were at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, ready to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage at any time.
“What brings the three of you here?”
Rain Little Meng was the granddaughter of the old Human Emperor and had been given notable attention by Jiang Li.
The Seven Killers said awkwardly, “The Taming Beast Sect has its understanding of monster beasts. Little Meng and Jiaojiao wish to join the sect to purify their bloodlines. I came to accompany them.”
The Taming Beast Sect also welcomed monster beasts to join their ranks.
“As the sole disciple of the Sword Monarch, aren’t you afraid he’d be enraged if you really managed to pass the entrance exam?” Jiang Li thought the Seven Killers was truly brave.
“No, no, I don’t understand the beast taming method at all. I won’t succeed.” The Seven Killers had not considered the possibility of success at all.
Recruitment of disciples at the Taming Beast Sect was not divided by age, but by cultivation stage, with the three levels being Qi Cultivation Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, and Golden Core Stage.
If a Golden Core Stage disciple was admitted, and their background checked out, they would skip the period of servitude and the status of outer sect disciple. After a probationary period to confirm their state of mind, they would be directly promoted to the position of inner sect disciple.
Li Jiaojiao and Rain Little Meng applied for the Golden Core stage, and the Seven Killers who suppressed his cultivation to the Golden Core stage, also applied for the same. Jiang Li thought that the Seven Killers’ cultivation concealment was not secret enough, so he helped out.
“Song Li, Golden Core Stage, participating in the Taming Beast Sect’s disciple examination.”
The Seven Killers looked at Jiang Li in surprise.
“The Human Emperor must have deep intentions.” The Seven Killers began to speculate on Jiang Li’s motives, and the more he thought about it, the more unfathomable Jiang Li seemed.
Who didn’t know that Jiang, the Human Emperor’s beast taming method, transcended the past, present, and future, and was unparalleled? Even the immortals in the Immortal realm were far behind Jiang, the Human Emperor.
Jiang, the Human Emperor, roamed in the void, treating the various worlds as “beasts”. How the world operated and how humanity operated were all within Jiang, the Human Emperor’s thoughts.
The immortals of the Immortal realm could, at most, regard the starry sky giant beasts and immortal beasts as their taming targets. However, Jiang, the Human Emperor’s beast taming method, had transcended the general sense of taming beasts – it was a transcendence and detachment.
This fact was clearly written in “The Story of Jiang, the Human Emperor”.
“Maybe Jiang, the Human Emperor wanted to return to basics, and started practicing the beast taming method from the beginning.” The Seven Killers ventured a guess.
…
The Taming Beast Sect was a first-class force on par with the Sky Mechanism Tower. After establishing a relationship with Lingxi World, under Xiaoqing’s rule, it had reached a new peak.
Therefore, there were numerous Golden Core Stage cultivators participating in the Taming Beast Sect disciple selection.
The presence of Jiang Li and the other three didn’t draw much attention.
To show importance to the Golden Core Stage, the Taming Beast Sect’s vice sect master was presiding over the selection.
The vice sect master of the Taming Beast Sect was named Bipolar, a Body Integration Realm monster beast of the two-colored spirit cat variety.
Jiang Li had met her a few times. The most noticeable features of Bipolar were her two cat ears on top of her head and her eerie red and blue eyes.
She was also the wife of the sect master of the Taming Beast Sect.
With a graceful demeanor, Bipolar stepped cat-like towards the crowd. Once she was standing in place, she calmly said, “Welcome everyone for choosing the Taming Beast Sect. I am Bipolar, the vice sect master.”
“This examination will have three tests. All are related to beast taming. Only those who pass all tests can become disciples of the Taming Beast Sect. I hope everyone takes it seriously.”
“Now let’s begin the first test — beast taming Q&A. We will use a buzzer system, and you will only progress to the next test if you answer any question correctly.”
“Listen to the question: What is now considered the standard for measuring strength among the dragon tribes of the Four Seas?”
“Bloodline!”
“Wrong, next.”
“Progress in practicing the ‘Human Emperor Strength of Jiang Li’!”
“Correct answer.”
“Second question: The Human tribe has the divine skill ‘Flying Dragon in the Sky’. Correspondingly, what is the divine skill that the Dragon tribe can use after small achievements in practicing ‘Human Emperor Strength of Jiang Li’?”
The Seven Killers grabbed the buzzer to answer, “Human Emperor in the Sky!”
“Correct answer.”
Jiang Li grinned, realizing that this first test might be a bit challenging.
