Chapter 540: Chapter 539: Beast Quiz
“Question three: Jiang, the Human Emperor, is unparalleled in his beast-taming skills, far beyond antiquity, treating the world as his ‘beast.’ This legend originates from which version of “The Biography of The Human Emperor”?”
“The author of this edition of “The Biography of The Human Emperor” is recorded as Bai, which is a nominal, and their actual name is unknown.”
Jiang Li looked at him, puzzled. He’d asked three questions; all relevant to him. Was this a beast taming Q&A or a Jiang Li Q&A?
Most importantly, he didn’t know the answer to any of them.
He quietly asked the monk who had answered the first question correctly, “What is ‘Emperor Amongst Men’ refers to? I’ve never heard of this divine ability.”
The monk, who qualified for the second round, leisurely answered Jiang Li’s question.
“Brother, you know too little about the Human Emperor. Everyone knows that ‘Emperor Amongst Men’ is the unique divine skill contained within the ‘Discourse of Jiang Li, the Human Emperor’.”
“‘Discourse of Jiang Li, the Human Emperor’ consists of three stages. Accordingly, ‘Emperor Amongst Men’ also has three stages – initial, intermediate, and advanced.”
“When you execute the initial stage of ‘Emperor Amongst Men’, you will faintly hear the voice of the Human Emperor. In the intermediate stage, not only would the voice of the Human Emperor appear, but also his spectral image would be summoned, though blurred.”
“However, the most formidable is the advanced stage. The voice of the Human Emperor will resound; a clear spectral image of the Human Emperor will be summoned, and even the arrival of Heavenly Immortals can’t resist this blow, hence it is acclaimed as an invincible divine skill.”
“But, up till now, even the Dragon Clan could only cultivate ‘Emperor Amongst Men’ up to the initial stage.”
Jiang Li nodded. Now he was able to associate this with the content of the ‘Discourse of Jiang Li, the Human Emperor’.’
He had also annotated the ‘Discourse of Jiang Li, the Human Emperor’ for the South Sea Dragon King. Thus, he knew what kind of divine skills would result from this cultivation technique. He just didn’t know what these divine skills were called.
Jiang Li then continued answering the questions with his full concentration.
Bipolar asked unhurriedly: “Question six: After a demon beast transforms into a human form, what is the first thing it should do?”
“Get accustomed to its new body.”
“Incorrect.”
“Put on clothes.”
“Correct.”
“Question seven: Bai Ze’s bloodline makes him nearly omniscient, but there are three things even Bai Ze doesn’t know. Name them.”
“The nesting places of the Heavenly Demons from beyond the realm, the cultivation method of the Mahayana Realm, and the strength of the Human Emperor.”
“Correct.”
“Question eight: If you encounter a cockroach, how should you treat it?”
“Take good care of it, help it find its family, and unite them.” The respondent thought—since they were in the Beast-control Sect—they should protect beasts and insects.
“Incorrect.”
“Just kill it directly.”
“Incorrect.”
“Help it find its family, kill them all, reuniting them in death.”
“Correct.”
“Question nine: Many demon beasts mate with each other, leading to many unnamed demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Realms. If you encounter an unknown demon beast, how should you name it?”
“Name it after yourself.”
Bipolar glanced at the respondent and asked, “What’s your name?”
The respondent thought he was being acknowledged by the Beast-control Sect’s higher-ups and excitedly replied, “My name is Huang Jia.”
“If you discover an unknown demon beast, it will be called ‘Huang Jia Beast’ and, in the future, everyone will be pointing at this beast saying, ‘Look, this is the Huang Jia Beast’?”
“…”
“Name it according to the traits of the demon beast and ancient books.”
“Correct.”
Jiang Li felt that there was a high probability he wouldn’t even pass the first round.
“Question ten: If ten mythical sun ravens appear in the sky of Kyushu, burning the earth, causing disturbances in spiritual energy, withering trees, and drying rivers, and you just so happen to have ten arrows and a bow in your hand, what should you do?”
“Shoot all ten sun ravens down.”
“Incorrect.”
“Shoot down nine sun ravens and leave one.” Someone remembered the legend of the great Archer Yi shooting the suns.
“Incorrect.”
“The Sun Raven is a divine beast. We can’t defeat it, we must wait for the Human Emperor to make a move.”
“Correct.”
“Question Eleven: In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a recorded demon beast named ‘Zhu Long’. It is said that when Zhu Long opens its eyes, it is daytime, and when it closes its eyes, it is nighttime. What is the principle behind this?”
“It’s Zhu Long’s innate divine ability.”
“Incorrect.”
“Zhu Long controls the two forces – light and darkness.”
“Incorrect.”
Jiang Li laughed and said, “Zhu Long doesn’t blink during the day and closes its eyes to sleep at night.”
“Correct.”
“…” I was just joking.
Jiang Li didn’t expect that he would actually pass.
The demon beast Q&A was still ongoing, and Jiang Li realized just how deficient his knowledge about demon beasts truly was.
Daozi, rain Little Meng, and Li Jiaojiao passed before Jiang Li.
“Why did the Human Emperor only pass on the eleventh question? I thought the questions were easy.” Rain Little Meng and Li Jiaojiao didn’t understand.
Daozi explained, “You don’t understand. You see, although Jiang the Human Emperor didn’t answer the questions before, he always maintained a calm demeanor. What does this show? That he had a plan. Even if Bipolar, the deputy Sect Master, proposes the last question, Jiang, the Human Emperor, will also be the last one to pass.”
“Jiang, the Human Emperor, didn’t answer the questions not because he didn’t want to stand out. Look at how much hostility everyone harbors towards the first person who answered the question. Jiang, The Human Emperor, is low-key. He foresaw this situation.”
“I was the second to pass, and everyone also showed a hostile attitude towards me. I should learn from Jiang, the Human Emperor in this respect.”
The person who answered the first question and passed was almost speechless when he heard Daozi’s words.
Brother, everyone’s hostility towards me indeed comes from me being the first one to pass, but their hostility towards you comes solely from the two demon race beauties by your side.
Daozi was unaware of this and continued to explain to his two companions, “There’s nothing in the world that the Human Emperor doesn’t know.”
Li Jiaojiao was confused, “But I heard that the most learned person in the world is Immortal Chang Cun from Dao Sect’s Sealing Self Cave?”
Rain Little Meng clenched her teeth in irritation. A girl asking a guy a question would make the guy feel satisfied and accomplished, but Li Jiaojiao beat her to it!
“You don’t know this. Immortal Chang Cun is the oldest person in Kyushu and is undoubtedly knowledgeable, but he is still slightly inferior to Jiang, the Human Emperor.”
“You should know Jiang, the Human Emperor, often goes to Sealing Self Cave to visit Immortal Chang Cun, right?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, Immortal Chang Cun doesn’t understand too many things, Jiang, the Human Emperor, goes there to lecture him.”
“I see.” The two women finally understood. They felt good being alongside Daozi; they were learning new things every day.
After a series of tense and exciting demon beast Q&As, Bipolar selected the cultivators who passed the first round.
“Congratulations to all on passing the first round of the examination.”
“The relationship between humans and demon beasts is an eternal topic for beast tamers. If you want to tame a demon beast, the first step is to get the beast to feel close to you. Only if a beast feels close to you is there a future possibility of signing a contract with it and fighting side by side.”
“Now, we’ll begin the second round, getting close to the demon beasts.”
“Later, I will take all of you to the Incubation Peak of the Beast-control Sect. The degree of intimacy between you and the newborn demon beasts will determine whether you qualify for the third round.”
