Chapter 250 Never Heard of Jiang Renhuang
The story of the Nguyen family is quite touching, but there is a fatal loophole in it.
It wasn’t Jiang Li using the sword to fight the ghost, but the existence of the evil ghost Ruan.
There are no ghosts in Kyushu.
There are many legends about ghosts among the people, such as the seventh day after birth, the Ghost Festival, burning paper, the love between humans and ghosts, etc. Even some great monks believe in these. Although they have never seen a ghost, it is precisely because they have never seen it that they find invisible ghosts scary.
Jiang Li knew very well that no ghosts would appear in Jiuzhou.
He once consulted the Immortal Changcun, the Buddha Xumi, and the Brahma Tower, and the conclusions reached by the three were the same.
All ghosts are in the underworld, there are no ghosts in Kyushu.
According to Xumi Buddha, the methods of the underworld are incredibly sophisticated, almost to the level of the laws of heaven and earth. After a person dies, the soul leaves the body and is instantly teleported to the underworld.
No one will notice this process. Even the Sumeru Buddha and the Brahma Tower, who are experts in the way of space, will not be able to notice it, and Jiang Li is even less likely to notice it.
The process of the underworld sending people to reincarnate is the same, and others cannot notice it.
The process of the soul going to the underworld was passed down from the mouth of a powerful being in the immortal world and narrated by the immortal Changcun. It was also confirmed by many immortals' notes.
Immortal Changcun said that the underworld does not use the way of space, but the way of reincarnation of life and death. Almost only people in the underworld know this way. Even the powerful people in the immortal world know very little about it. Only a few immortals know it.
No one in Kyushu knows that.
If there is any place in the world that may be connected to the fairyland, it must be the legendary underworld.
Unfortunately, the underworld is even more mysterious than the fairyland, and only a few words have been passed down.
There is probably only one way for Jiang Li to go to the underworld, and that is to die once.
No matter how much Jiang Li wanted to go to the fairyland, he would not give up his life.
[Release mission: Congratulations to the host for becoming a Yuanying cultivator, and having a say in Jiuzhou. After you broke through the Yuanying stage, your consciousness expanded extremely, and your body could not bear it temporarily, and you fell into a coma. You were picked up by villagers in the northern border of Changgu Country. When you passed by a cold pond, a man-eating dragon emerged from the pond. This dragon takes humans as sacrifices and is worshipped all year round. The villagers were frightened and fled, leaving you unconscious. You opened your eyes and looked at the dragon.]
[Please defeat this dragon in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul]
[This task can be abandoned]
[Quest rewards: a copy of "The Hundred Poisons Sutra", a piece of dragon blood wood, and a hidden talisman]
"A man-eating dragon using humans as sacrifices?"
Jiang Li noticed the system's description of this cold pond dragon.
With such a description, this dragon must have eaten many people and caused endless harm.
Monsters eating humans don’t necessarily mean they have learned the ways of evil; they may also think humans are delicious.
The lifespan of monsters is longer than that of humans. A dragon in the Nascent Soul stage can live roughly seven to eight hundred years.
"Judging from the time, this dragon may still be alive."
Jiang Li was worried and wanted to go to Changgu Country to check the situation.
Jiang Li came to the northern border of Changgu Country according to the system description and found a village with a cold pond nearby. He was a little surprised to see an acquaintance.
"Nian'er, why are you here?"
"Uncle Jiang." Li Nian'er was also surprised to see Jiang Li.
"It's all because of my unreliable father. He actually went to the Yunshui Secret Realm to look for the Painting Immortal's Divine Mind on our wedding anniversary. Mom was furious when she found out about it."
"I came out to avoid the limelight and happened to pass by here. I heard that there was a dragon that ate people. If it is true, I want to kill the evil dragon on behalf of the True Dragon of the West Sea."
Li Nian'er is half West Sea Dragon bloodline.
"That dragon is still alive?" Jiang Li was surprised. He came here just in case, but he didn't expect that the dragon was still alive.
"Uncle Jiang, have you also heard of this evil dragon?"
"Nothing, go on."
"I heard from the villagers that the evil dragon is very cunning. It usually hides in the deepest part of the cold pond and never comes out. It has been more than a hundred years since then."
"More than a hundred years? That's really interesting."
If you said the dragon had been wreaking havoc for more than 500 years, Jiang Li could still understand, but if you said more than 100 years...
The trembling old man walked out of the village and said, "You two are guests. Why don't you come and sit in the village?"
Jiang Li could see that this old man was the strongest in the village, having reached the ninth level of Qi training. Unfortunately, he was approaching the end of his life and would not live long.
After talking to the old man, I learned that he was the village chief.
"I heard there is a dragon in the cold pond nearby. Can you tell me more about it?"
"This story is a long time ago. Our village is close to the Cold Pond, so it is called the Cold Pond Village. People like to use the water of the Cold Pond to wash their bodies, which can strengthen their bodies. About 110 years ago, a giant python came from nowhere and lurked in the Cold Pond. Someone went to the Cold Pond to fetch water and was swallowed by the giant python. You can even see the person's face through the snake's belly."

Li Nian'er imagined this scene and felt a little scared.
"The giant python spoke in human language, saying that no one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. It also asked us to offer a man and a woman every year. If we don't comply, it will massacre the entire village!"
"We also asked the monks to come and solve the matter, but the monks were all swallowed by the giant python. The giant python was furious and came to the village to eat more than a dozen people before it calmed down. Since then, we have never dared to think of him again."
"Fifty years later, the giant python transformed into a dragon and continues to hover over the cold pond until today."
There are two ways of cultivation for snakes. One is to cultivate in the form of a snake, and the other is to transform from a snake into a dragon.
Transforming into a dragon means becoming a demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage.
"I don't know how my little grandson is doing now, or how his cultivation is going." The old village chief sighed.
"Where is your grandson now?" Li Nian'er asked curiously.
"I don't know. He sneaked out of the village when the evil dragon wasn't paying attention, saying that only by becoming a powerful cultivator can one kill the evil dragon."
"Why didn't he ask for help from others?" Li Nian'er couldn't understand her grandson's idea. Instead of cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage by herself, wouldn't it be faster to ask a Nascent Soul cultivator for help? "Miss, you're kidding me. That's a Nascent Soul monster. It came for no reason. How can we ask a Nascent Soul cultivator to help us kill the evil dragon?"
"He can ask the Human Emperor Palace for help. The Human Emperor Palace will definitely not ignore this matter, especially Uncle Jiang, oh no, Human Emperor Jiang."
"Jiang Renhuang? Who?" the village chief was shocked.
"You haven't heard of Jiang Renhuang?" Li Nian'er was even more surprised than the village chief.
“Never heard of it.”
"Which emperor have you heard of?"
"Emperor Lu."
Jiang Li’s predecessor was Lu Renhuang, a respectable senior.
"Do you know what year this is?"
"Yanli Year 4305."
"Wasn't that five hundred years ago?" Li Nian'er couldn't understand the current situation and asked Jiang Li for help.
"You are a member of the Dharmakaya Sect. You must learn to solve problems on your own. If you don't use your brain every day, you will become as stupid as your father."
Jiang Li shook his head. Why do young people nowadays always like to ask for help? When he was still in the Nascent Soul stage, he could solve problems independently and never asked for help from others.
Li Nian'er was so scared that she quickly thought about where the problem lay.
