Chapter 636: Human Mind Thread (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li took out the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd from the coffin.
Sure enough, after holding the halberd, the threads behind him became much clearer. They were barely visible to the naked eye.
The Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd in his hand trembled slightly.
Strands of power were gathering from the threads.
Each thread did not provide much power, but together, it was enough to make Jiang Li gasp in admiration.
In just a breath, he had accumulated the power to brandish the Human Emperor’s Halberd.
That was a power that could injure an Earth Immortal with a single strike and suck dry ten Soul Formation cultivators.
Jiang Li could sense that even if the halberd was not augmented by any of his strength, its might was more than three times stronger than before.
If he slashed out, he would probably immediately tear open space.
He was eager to try, but he did not dare to destroy the Star Tower.
With the divine weapon in hand, the current successor of the Human Emperor immediately recalled the abnormal change when he used the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd.
The expenditure was abnormally large, and the power increased exponentially.
Even in the cultivation world, such huge energy couldn’t appear out of thin air.
Now, it seemed that the threads connected to his back were the reason.
Jiang Li threw a Level 10 appraisal skill at one of the threads.
It actually worked!

…
Jiang Li appraised a few more threads in succession. His appraisal skill had already reached the maximum level, and it provided him with quite a bit of useful information.
First of all, the essence of these threads was the manifestation of a certain rule of heaven and earth.
Since it was indicated in the appraisal technique that these Human Faith Threads were Jiang Li’s first step on the path to the Human Emperor,
that was most likely the early stages of the Human Emperor position.
To be honest, after being the successor of the Human Emperor for so long, although he had used this name previously, Jiang Li had actually always thought that he had only obtained a few treasures from the Human Emperor’s lineage.
There were no cultivation methods or other inheritances. Apart from the Three Sovereigns Mystic Realm that had yet to appear, he only had 4,000 more Human Emperor’s Blood Qi that could automatically refine the aperture than others.
This was the first time Jiang Li had noticed that he really had something on him.
The Human Faith Threads on his body should have existed long ago.
However, before breaking through to the Soul Formation realm, he could not observe it.
He carefully studied the appraisal information.
Every tiny thread here marked the source. It was a certain mortal gathering point.
The number should represent the number of people at the gathering point.
However, the statuses of these threads were divided into two types: “solid” and “weak”.
In fact, the difference between the two types of threads could be seen from the eyes.
One was solid and stable, and the other was illusory.
There were more dotted lines and fewer solid lines.
The ratio could roughly reach a disparity of 300 to 500 to one.
Jiang Li held the halberd tightly and carefully sensed the difference between the two.
He discovered that under the circumstances that the numbers were similar and they were of the same race, if each weak line could provide him with one unit of power, the power provided by the solid line would be a hundred.
The difference was so great. What was the difference between these two types of threads?
Jiang Li could not help but fantasize.
If he could convert all the illusory lines into solid lines, wouldn’t he be able to kill Gods and Buddhas with the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd?
He continued to appraise. Among the countless lines, he also found Nüchou from Fengdu City.
This thread was what Jiang Li had sensed when the Nüchou Demon King left her name on the stone monument.
Moreover, this thread could provide more strength.
Coupled with those familiar or unfamiliar places, it could be roughly deduced that the humans represented by those threads should be the humans under his rule.
For example, the Four Hands of the Great Mountain Region, the Rock Mountain Range, Fengdu City, the Ice Plains barbarians, the edge of the Ten Directions Region, the storm sea controlled by the Dragon Transformation Island, and the Myriad Beast Plains that had been transferred to the Great Mountain Alliance.
As for the slowly increasing weak threads, they came from the mortal gathering places of many other regions in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region.
These humans were originally unrelated to him, but now, they suddenly formed a connection with Jiang Li.
He was not a fool and quickly understood the key.
The reason for this was most likely what the Cloud Manor had promised previously. They would establish a temple in the name of the Human Emperor.
In just a few months, the area covered had already reached hundreds of mountains.
If he had to do it himself, it would be impossible without ten years of effort.
Although these humans who were not under his rule could only provide weak Human Faith Threads, moreover, the weak threads could only provide 1% of the actual power, there were many of them.
Just now, it had already increased the power of the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd by several times.
It was the kind of power that did not require Jiang Li’s main body to expend any energy.
Apart from the power of incense, this pleasant surprise was even more valuable to Jiang Li, and it directly increased the upper limit of his strength.
“No, this is probably not a pleasant surprise.”
Jiang Li recalled Concubine Yun’s reaction at that time.
That lady must have seen through this and deliberately helped.
“What a huge help.”
After putting away the halberd, the Human Emperor’s successor remembered the Cloud Manor’s favor.
What he did not know was that Concubine Yun, who was sitting in the palace, was very satisfied.
The aura of merit on her body had increased by more than 30% compared to a few months ago.
Her face was rosy and filled with purple qi. Her cultivation and strength had reached a higher level.
In the case of Concubine Yun’s merit foundation, 30% was enough for a thousand good people to accumulate for ten lifetimes.
With the special cultivation method of the Cloud Manor, these merit points could also be directly converted into strength.
This was the reason why the Cloud Manor always liked to befriend people with merit.
By rewarding good and punishing evil on behalf of the heavens, one could turn merit into their own. That was a profound cultivation method directly related to the rules of heaven and earth.
She had helped the successor of the Human Emperor so much and obtained the sincere gratitude of the Human Emperor’s successor. Although he was thousands of miles away, she had also obtained huge benefits.
“How deep is the merit on this Human Emperor’s successor? It hasn’t decreased at all during this period.”
“What a strange guy.”
…
“How’s the investigation? Did you find any clues?”
“No, we’ve already explored this ghost city. There’s no reaction from the brush.”
“Although this ghost city is quite impressive, there are no experts inside.”
Outside Fengdu City, a group of strangers who had been reminded by the Back Yin Mountain Spirit gathered here for some reason.
“I obtained information that there’s a layer of space below this ghost city. Have you checked?”
One of the leaders asked.
“I’ve checked. The barrier on the surface and underground is quite brilliant, but it can’t stop us.”
“It’s still empty down there. Only one dungeon is filled with ghosts. The brush still doesn’t react.”
“However, we discovered that this chain is connected to the center of that city. There might be something hidden on the other end of the chain.”
This group of people had actually silently infiltrated the Chang Le Underground Palace.
Fortunately, the Earth Spirit was guarding the house.
They did not see the Five Human Emperor’s Halls and only walked around the ruins for a long time.
The only strange thing they discovered was this strange chain that grew out of the center of the city and fell into the Netherworld Void.
The chain was so long that the edge could not be seen. Although the chain looked ordinary, the materials were actually heaven-defying and nothing could damage it.
No one would believe that there was nothing important hidden on the other side of the chain.
“The other side of this chain?”
“Wu Zi, Liu Chang, the two of you go and investigate!”
After giving the order, two young men dressed as scholars walked out. They turned into two green lights and followed the chain into the endless void ahead.
The last corpse of the last Nine Kings must be hidden there!
