“If you don’t go back, who will govern the White Marsh Dynasty?” Jiang Li asked, puzzled. Raising a true dragon required a lot of time, and the White Marsh Dynasty couldn’t remain ungoverned indefinitely.

“Has the Human Emperor forgotten? The day I metamorphosed into the pure-blooded White Marsh, I also created a Kylin avatar who can manage the White Marsh Dynasty in my stead,” White Snow Spirit replied with a laugh. She had arranged for this Kylin avatar before coming to the Lingxi World.

“I did forget about that. Now that you’ve become a pure-blooded White Marsh, how is the dynasty faring?”

“The demon kings are not coming of age. They obediently retreat to their territories and dare not disobey me. As long as they keep their subordinates in check and prevent any harassment of human passers-by, my current goal is to erase the White Marsh Dynasty’s reputation as bandits.”

“Many of you humans choose to come here to hone yourselves, to fight with monsters, to grow stronger through blood and death. Some achieve fortune in the dynasty, while others perish here due to their inferior skills. And I did not stop any of it.”

Jiang Li gives a slight nod. There’s no reason to discriminate. The White Marsh Dynasty serves as a whetting stone for humans. The winners live, the losers perish – both humans and demon kind benefit. He too, during his Nascent Soul Stage, fought in the White Marsh Dynasty.

“Even if the demon kind have gained wisdom, they still prefer to communicate through strength. The White Marsh Dynasty has always been so since ancient times and probably won’t change in the future.”

“I often envy you humans. Despite your inherent weakness, you possess ample wisdom to compensate and even surpass our demon kind.”

“Your wisdom is demonstrated not only in individual growth, but also in the overall order.”

It is said that in ancient times, the demon kind were the lords of Kyushu, while the weak humans survived between the cracks. Later, the humans were enlightened by an Immortal, learning the Cultivation Technique. On the foundation taught by the Immortal, various Cultivation Techniques were developed.

The humans cultivated and gradually gained strength equalling that of the demon kind.

In the end, when the number of Immortals who ascended to the Immortal Realm surpassed that of the demon kind, the humans claimed their position as the masters of Kyushu.

“Not all humans value order,” Jiang Li shook his head slightly. “Strong individual power leads to a fixed hierarchy, it could also lead to a situation where everything is decided by an individual. The world would then become a place where only strength talks, even worse than that of the demon kind.”

Jiang Li thought of the Ancient World and the First Emperor of the Parallel World. In these two worlds, strength dictated reason.

In the three Cultivation Worlds, it was only Kyushu where order was emphasized. Was it Jiang Li’s bad luck that all the Cultivation Worlds he encountered were the opposite of Kyushu, or was Kyushu was the exception in the Cultivation Worlds where strength determined everything?

While the two were engaged in idle talk, they unknowingly returned to the academy.

In the training field, where one would usually train the contracted beasts, two panting figures running attracted everyone’s attention.

“As my host, how can you be so weak? You need to strive, keep striving!”

“Exactly! Aren’t you embarrassed?”

A small blue snake and a tiger cub were perched on Xia Chao and Qiu Shi’s shoulders, constantly whispering into their ears, urging them to go faster and faster.

Even though the two of them were Qi Cultivation Stage One practitioners, the workout was just too intense.

However, the little blue snake was also under constant training, attempting to refine the dragon blood.

“Alright, let’s stop here for now,” said the little blue snake, instructing the two exhausted figures to rest for ten minutes.

“Don’t stop suddenly! You must slow down gradually!” The little blue snake reminded them. Thus, Xia Chao and Qiu Shi could only continue jogging slowly before eventually coming to a stop.

“Jiang Brother, help!” Seeing Jiang Li, Xia Chao and Qiu Shi rushed toward him, pleading for help.

“The little blue snake has changed. When it woke up, it first turned into a snake, then its personality changed.”

“After coming out of the cocoon, it said it was here to save the world. It couldn’t continue degenerating and immediately asked me to intensify training and grow together.”

Qiu Shi made a bitter face: “I was just caught in the crossfire. It said that the little tiger cub had such good potentials and would be extremely powerful in the future. I then have to become a Beast Tamer worthy of the little tiger cub.”

Jiang Li gently stroked the uneasy little blue snake.

“Good job,” Jiang Li standing on the side of the little blue snake. Although its demands were strict, the results were excellent. Both of them had the potential to break through to Qi Cultivation Stage Two.

“Cultivation is not only about meditating; it is also about training the body. Now, what we need most is for the little blue snake to transform into a real dragon. Everything else is secondary.”

Jiang Li told the two of them about the issues in the Lingxi World, making them realize the seriousness of the situation.

Neither of them ever thought that, despite humanity’s claim to being the master of contracted beasts, in reality, they were the servants of these beasts.

Even more unimaginable was the root cause of the assimilation disease: All contracted beasts are lacking in intelligence.

“Little Blue is of utmost importance, and you are its Beast Tamer. When Little Blue unifies the contracted beasts and demon beasts, your strength will be indispensable.”

Jiang Li couldn’t possibly subdue all the contracted beasts and demon beasts, forcing them to acknowledge Little Blue as their leader.

Little Blue needs to rely on its own strength to become the king of the Lingxi World.”

“Even though you are not much of a fighter, you excel at sensing danger and avoiding disasters. Besides, you cultivate the Perennial Power, which can support the stamina and injuries of the Little Blue.”

Upon hearing these words, Xia Chao was greatly inspired.

“I’ve made separate training regimes for you both,” said Jiang Li, having written two training regimes.

Xia Chao accepted his regimen and almost got goosebumps.

6:00 to 6:05 in the morning, wake up.

6:05 to 12:00 noon, cultivate.

12:00 to 12:20 noon, eat lunch.

12:20 to 12:40 noon, nap.

12:40 to 6:00 in the evening, cultivate.

6:00 to 6:20 in the evening, have dinner.

6:20 to 12:00 midnight, cultivate.

12:00 midnight to 6:00 in the morning, sleep.

Qiu Shi, curious, peeked at his friend’s timetable. At first glance, it seemed fine—eat, sleep, cultivate, balance between work and rest—but a closer look revealed the problem.

The cultivation duration was too excessive.

Looking at Little Blue’s training regime, Xia Chao felt even more unfair.

“Why are all my activities cultivation while Little Blue’s are either taking a medicinal bath or rest?”

Jiang Li replied sternly: “It’s because we humans are inherently fragile and can’t compete with demon kind. Diligence can make up for the disparity. To catch up with Little Blue, we can only double our efforts.”

Under normal circumstances, this kind of high-intensity cultivation would exhaust one’s body. But with Jiang Li around, providing countless heavenly and earthly treasures to replenish the energy lost, the exhaustion could be perfectly controlled.

Little Blue did not need cultivation. Instead, it needed to continually stimulate its blood potential, a superior attribute of demon kind.

“Just think about it. When Little Blue unites the world and erects statues in its likeness, you will be the one who didn’t contribute and people won’t even know your name. You wouldn’t want that.”

Xia Chao clenched his teeth. His dream had always been to save the world. Now that the opportunity to realize his dream was right before his eyes, he could not hold back Little Blue, nor could he let down Brother Jiang’s expectations. So, he said, “I’ll cultivate!”

After a painful internal struggle, Qiu Shi proposed to follow Xia Chao’s lead and intensify training.

He believed that more output yielded more rewards.

Jiang Li agreed.

The White Snow Spirit nods briefly. He happened to be a child who was good at seizing opportunities.

Being instructed in cultivation was a boon many cultivators in Kyushu could only dream of having.
