Chapter 18 Live Broadcast Preview!
"Yes, Heavenly Emperor, I understand."
Long Li suppressed her shock at the Nine Nether Beast and respectfully replied.
She knew how much Jiang Feng valued his sister, and this entrustment absolutely could not be failed. "But... your sister is new here, and she's unfamiliar with this Fellow Daoist Jiuyou Hound..."
She glanced at the quietly crouching, yet terrifyingly powerful beast, carefully choosing her words.
"Should we inform her in advance, so as not to startle her if we meet suddenly?"
Jiang Feng shook his head slightly: "No need. It has its own way of hiding and will not show itself unless necessary. It is somewhat aloof and does not like to see strangers."
"Long Li understands and will make proper arrangements," she solemnly promised.
Thank you for your trouble.
Jiang Feng nodded slightly, indicating that she could leave.
Long Li bowed again, and couldn't help but glance at the Nine Nether Beast that seemed to blend into the shadows before turning around and leaving the Heavenly Palace with light and steady steps.
Only after walking quite a distance did the faint throbbing and oppressive feeling that lingered in my heart and originated from the depths of my blood gradually dissipate.
She let out a long sigh of relief, her purple eyes sparkling with wonder.
The story of the Heavenly Emperor's sister being guided by a true dragon, with the mysterious and terrifying Nine Nether Beast secretly following her... is getting more and more interesting.
She must immediately return to the Dragon Nest to personally select the most suitable, docile, and beautiful Purple-Gold Divine Dragon cub, and prepare a speech to ensure that the little princess from the ancestral star leaves a perfect and stunning first impression of the Big Dipper.
After watching Long Li leave, the Heavenly Palace returned to silence.
Jiang Feng sat alone on the imperial throne, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the dragon patterns on the armrests.
The initial warmth and anticipation of his sister's impending arrival gradually subsided, replaced by a calm and focused state. He still had things to do.
With a slight thought, his consciousness sank into the depths of the mysterious system that had accompanied him through millennia and to the pinnacle of power.
Contrary to what ordinary cultivators might imagine, his ten thousand years of cultivation, while certainly due to his own hard work and the supreme mysteries of the "Heavenly Emperor Scripture," also owed much to the system he stole.
It does not directly grant power, but rather, under specific conditions, it can traverse the river of time and space and steal, with great difficulty, some of the accumulated knowledge and insights of other extraordinary beings—especially those who also possess extraordinary talent—at a certain stage or in a certain state.
Of course, this kind of theft is not a lossless plunder, but more like a high-level observation and resonance that transcends cause and effect.
The system opens, and the next second!
His consciousness seemed to be dragged into an endless turbulent flow of time and space, with countless fragments of light and shadow flying by.
Finally, the image settled on seven blurry figures that spanned different eras, brimming with overwhelming blood and indomitable fighting spirit.
Each figure represents a lifetime of glory, a lifetime of battles, a lifetime of living and dying.
The first figure was a young man who came from the Great Wilderness Stone Village. He was born with supreme bones, but his fate was full of twists and turns.
The boy bled and was buried in Stone Village, but he was resurrected by a strange, incorruptible herb and his own lingering supreme blood.
Second incarnation.
When his lifespan in his first life was about to end, he resolutely severed his Dao Fruit, shed his old body, and lived a new life. In this life, he fought in the vast Boundary Sea, fought a bloody battle with the immortal king of another realm at the Imperial Pass, killed countless enemies, and stained the Boundary Sea with blood. He himself was also on the verge of annihilation many times, but his Dao heart became more and more brilliant and immortal.
In his third life, he underwent tribulation as a true immortal.
In the Dharma-ending Age, an era of extreme deterioration in the environment of heaven and earth, he once again severed the Dao and defied the heavens to become an immortal! He fought against giants at the level of Immortal Kings, teetering on the edge of life and death countless times. His True Immortal Body was shattered and then reassembled, his Primordial Spirit was broken and then condensed again, and he sublimated in the midst of utter destruction.
In his fourth life, he encountered a great calamity when attempting to break through to the Immortal King realm.
He was ambushed and killed by the combined forces of three veteran Immortal Kings: Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu. His immortal body shattered, and his Great Dao nearly vanished. Fortunately, his friend Cao Yusheng buried his remains and a wisp of his undying primordial spirit in a mysterious burial ground, where he awaited a slim chance of survival in the deathly silence.
In the fifth life, he was reborn from the burial ground.
After slumbering in the burial ground for 500,000 years, his physical body and primordial spirit were reborn, based on the strange laws of the burial ground and his own undying will, defying the heavens and returning. He rebuilt his Dao fruit, underwent the Immortal King Tribulation again, and truly stepped into the Immortal King realm, becoming even more powerful than in his previous life, with a flawless Dao foundation.
In the sixth generation, the Immortal King caused chaos.
After achieving the status of Immortal King, he did not stop. At the end of his Immortal King lifespan, he once again took a risk, severing his Dao and breaking his limits to live a sixth life. In this life, he fought against the source of darkness, quelled the chaos in the Boundary Sea, and battled against the supreme beings among the dark creatures, pushing his own Dao techniques to the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm amidst blood and fire.
The seventh incarnation, the light of a quasi-immortal emperor.
Above the Immortal King realm, he once again defied the heavens and broke through the shackles, stepping into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm! In this life, he slew more than one Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, facing the heavens alone, turning his back on all living beings, he began to try to evolve his own supreme law, exploring that supreme path...
"The Desolate...Heavenly Emperor..."
Deep within Jiang Feng's consciousness, this title echoed.
This is not just a simple title, but an epic spanning countless eras, seven lifetimes of defying fate, battling against heaven and earth, and quelling dark turmoil! It is a glorious yet lonely feat that reigns supreme for eternity!
Although there was no most important eighth incarnation!
But that's more than enough!
"boom--!"
Although it was only a tiny bit of "stealing" and a negligible resonance, when this force, containing the glory of seven lifetimes, crossed an unimaginable distance of time and space and painstakingly penetrated and merged into Jiang Feng's Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit and Primordial Spirit, it still caused a violent tremor within his body!
"call……"
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Feng slowly opened his eyes. In the depths of his eyes, a strange phenomenon seemed to flash by, as if the sun and moon were turning and stars were rising and falling, adding a touch of indescribable vicissitude and profundity.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, which scorched and slightly distorted the void in front of him.
"It seems we need to process what we've gained before bringing Xiaoyu over."
Jiang Feng composed himself, closed his eyes again, and began to immerse himself in comprehending and digesting the vast insights accumulated by the seven lifetimes of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. Within the Heavenly Palace, the Daoist aura permeated the air, and time seemed to slow down.
Blue Star, Jiang Yu's home.
Jiang Yu slept until the sun was high in the sky and woke up feeling refreshed.
The sea of bitterness within her body slowly spun, a warm current automatically circulating, dispelling the last trace of fatigue. She grabbed her phone, glanced at the date, and immediately sprang out of bed!
"Tomorrow! It's tomorrow!"
She let out an excited scream and rolled around on the bed. After calming down, she immediately realized it was time to give the final preview for the "time-travel livestream"!
She opened the live streaming app, thought for a moment, and edited a suspenseful and enticing teaser post:
[Host Jiang Yu V]: All eyes are on me! I have an announcement! Tomorrow! Just tomorrow! This young lady will keep her promise and take you to see something real! Not special effects, not a script, but the real, living world of cultivation!

The moment the post was published, her millions of fans, who had already started following her because of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, went wild!
Comments and reposts surged at an astonishing rate:
"Holy crap! Really? Tomorrow? In the cultivation world?"
"Sister Yu is awesome! You're really going?"
"Dragon! Pet the dragon! Sister Yu, if you can really pet the dragon, I'll do a live stream of myself washing my hair while doing a handstand!"
"Titanium alloy dog eyes for sale in the front row! Waiting for my worldview to shatter tomorrow!"
"Watch out, streamer! I've heard the cultivation world is dangerous; killing and robbing are commonplace!"
"Upstairs +1, Sister Yu, is your brother really reliable? What if he's just trying to trick you into becoming his concubine or something? (worried)"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! You jinx!"
"Exactly! And Sister Yu herself is incredibly capable now, okay? Those three bank robbers weren't a threat at all!"
"I don't care, even if it rains knives tomorrow, I'm still watching the live stream!"
"I've set my alarm, Sister Yu, don't you dare stand me up!"
"Am I the only one curious about the method of 'guidance'? Is it by flying sword or teleportation array? (Curious baby)"
"Upstairs, have a broader perspective. What if it really is a dragon coming to pick you up? (laughs)"
Her private messages flooded in instantly. Jiang Yu picked out a few familiar faces and loyal fans who had always supported her to reply to.
Fan A: "Sister Yu! You're really going? You're not kidding, are you? What's it like over there? Is it dangerous?"
Jiang Yu: "Of course it's true! We're leaving tomorrow! Don't worry, my brother's been around over there for ages, he's got some status, so safety won't be a problem! I'll livestream it for you guys!"
Die-hard Fan B: "Holy crap! The cultivation world! I've heard that places are all about killing and robbing, the survival of the fittest. Sister Yu, is your cultivation level even enough? Be careful you don't end up dead!"
Jiang Yu: "Relax, relax, my brother said he'll arrange everything. Besides, I've made some progress in my studies, so I'm confident I can protect myself. And the main purpose of going there is to gain experience, not to cause trouble."
Many people also sent private messages expressing concern or even hinting at conspiracy theories:
"Host, in those cultivation novels, family ties are weak. It's not uncommon for fathers and sons to kill each other or brothers to fight over resources and immortality. Is your brother... really completely trustworthy? Has he not changed at all in these ten thousand years?"
"Xiaoyu, you can never be too careful. Your brother's power is far beyond what's expected; there might be schemes on his level that we can't comprehend. Think it over!"
"I've heard that in the advanced cultivation world there are evil techniques like body possession and demonic implantation, specifically targeting blood relatives... Streamer, please be more careful!"
Upon seeing these comments, Jiang Yu's heart sank slightly, but she quickly regained her resolve. She replied, "Thank you for your concern. But I know what kind of person my brother is. He was before, and I believe he still is. If he truly harbored ill intentions, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths. I believe him."
Even so, a very faint shadow of doubt still lingered in some corner of my heart. But it was quickly dispelled by the immense excitement and anticipation for the unknown world.
She turned off private messages, stopped reading the chaotic comments, and began excitedly checking her prepared live-streaming equipment, backup power supply, several sets of clothes for easy movement, and a full stash of snacks.
Her teaser post was like pouring water into an already boiling oil pan, quickly igniting the entire internet. Its popularity soared at an alarming rate, directly topping the trending lists on major platforms, followed by the word "explosive".
Countless media outlets, self-media platforms, and bloggers eager to capitalize on the trend followed suit, offering analyses, speculations, questions, and expectations... Jiang Yu's live broadcast exploring the cultivation world tomorrow became the hottest topic of the day, bar none.
Municipal Public Security Bureau, Criminal Investigation Division Office.
Team Leader Wang had just finished a brief internal meeting and returned to his seat, rubbing his temples. A young officer hurried in, carrying a tablet computer, a worried look on his face.
"Captain Wang, take a look at this."
The subordinate handed over the tablet, which displayed Jiang Yu's live stream announcement that had gone viral online, along with a massive amount of comments and reposts.
"Jiang Yu has released another announcement, saying she's going to do a live stream in some cultivation world tomorrow! The hype is getting higher and higher, the internet is in an uproar, with all sorts of speculations. Should we... do something? Like contacting the platform to manage the public opinion? Or talk to her again? If this continues, won't the social impact be..."
Team Leader Wang took the tablet, quickly glanced at it, his face expressionless, and simply waved his hand to interrupt his subordinate.
"Don't worry about it." His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable tone. "The higher-ups are already aware of this matter and have given instructions that it will be temporarily handled by a higher-level department. It's no longer under our jurisdiction. Just do your job well, and don't ask any questions or cause any trouble."
"But Captain Wang, this level of hype..." The young man was still a little worried.
"A little more hype is fine, it won't cause the sky to fall."
Captain Wang handed the tablet back, leaned back in his chair, and stared intently at the screen. "What needs to be known will eventually be known. Prevention is worse than cure. Besides..." He changed the subject, a subtle unease creeping into his tone, "How do you know that what she said isn't necessarily true?"
The young officer was taken aback. Looking at Captain Wang's calm yet seemingly unsettling gaze, he didn't know how to respond.
Wasn't Captain Wang the one who used to be most disgusted by these feudal superstitions and internet celebrity hype? Why does it feel like... his attitude has changed a bit?
"Alright, go ahead and get back to work. There's no need to report on Jiang Yu's matter anymore, unless there are new leads involving criminal activity."
Team Leader Wang waved his hand, signaling his subordinates that they could leave.
Once the office door was closed and he was alone again, Captain Wang slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the bustling traffic on the street below.
He subconsciously adjusted his breathing, following the habit he had developed over the past few days, and his mind drifted almost imperceptibly towards his navel.
Since that day when he tried the practice and felt real benefits, he persisted with it, albeit with some skepticism.
Over the course of a few days, the effects became increasingly apparent.
The lumbar muscle strain and neck pain caused by years of desk work and traveling have been greatly relieved. I have more energy than before, and I even feel that my strength and reaction speed have improved.
This is not a psychological effect, but a real physical change.
He had also learned through some channels that quite a few people had tried the exercises announced by Jiang Yu, but the vast majority of them said they felt nothing. Only a very few people, like him, experienced obvious and positive physical changes.
This made him realize that perhaps... this really was a cultivation technique, and that it required certain aptitudes? And he just happened to be one of the very few with that talent?
This realization completely changed his view of the Jiang Yu incident.
