Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Three Rules of Spiritual Treasure

Jiang Li tried, but he could not bring the Yin Yang Heaven Seal back to Jiuzhou through the teleportation channel provided by the system.

Fortunately, both the man and the seal shared a common trait of being robust, unafraid of the turbulent Void. With the coordinates provided by the system, Jiang Li shattered the space and returned to Jiuzhou through the Void.

Then they were stopped by a great array from outside.

He had installed the door, but he couldn’t open it himself.

“A Heavenly Demon from outside the realm… Oh, it’s Brother Jiang.” Sky Desolate Halberd, being the core of the array, thought there was an invasion by a Heavenly Demon and hastily stopped shouting halfway.

Sky Desolate Halberd felt uncomfortable seeing the Yin Yang Heaven Seal following Jiang Li, feeling somewhat betrayed.

I was here first, he thought to himself.

Jiang Li brought the Yin Yang Heaven Seal back to the Dao Sect. Having experienced so much, the seal no longer desired the Spiritual Treasure Dynasty and chose to stay in Jiuzhou.

Its master was harmed by a Heavenly Demon. If it did not seek revenge, it would not be an immortal artifact!

In Jiuzhou, there was never a lack of Heavenly Demons to kill!

Jiang Li told Bai Hongtu and Elder Changcun everything that had happened.

Although they had already seen Dao Ancestor’s corpse through the Remote Communication Talisman, hearing Jiang Li recount it gave them a different feel.

“Can you sense the causality of the ascended seniors?

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal rocked its body: “I can’t. It’s like they’ve completely disappeared. ”

Jiang Li crossed his arms, propping up his chin, and sank into deep thought.

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal felt the cause and effect of Dao Ancestor on that mainland, which suggested that its power of causality was not useless. It couldn’t perceive Ah Qing’s causality, possibly because she was transformed by a Heavenly Demon.

If this conjecture held, then what happened to all the ascended seniors…?

But that’s not right. Why can’t it see its own causality? After all, he had been raised in Jiuzhou since the age of eighteen.

Could it be possible that his previous life was a Heavenly Demon?

“Should we erase the consciousness of all the spiritual treasures?” The Yin Yang Heaven Seal stood dutifully on the table, giving an impression that it would do whatever they said.

It added, “Just to be clear, I can’t erase the consciousness of the Immortal Artifacts. They’ve probably all developed souls by now. Other spiritual treasures can be erased, they’re not as quick to develop souls.”

“Let’s erase them, even though I’m really quite reluctant to,” Bai Hongtu said regretfully.

“Jiang Li, didn’t you once say that everything has two sides like a double-edged sword? I believe that’s true for spiritual treasures with consciousness. While we’re worried that the spiritual treasures would harm humans, they can also enhance the offensive abilities of cultivators.”

“I temporarily held a competition in the Dao Sect allowing disciples with close relationships with their spiritual treasures to participate, with the use of their spiritual treasures permitted.”

“The result was beyond expectation. The and their masters seemed to nave a connection, using tnem was very smootn. ‘l’ne spiritual treasures even had their own consciousness and actively helped their masters attack. The overall strength has improved, with outer sect disciples defeating inner sect disciples, and inner sect disciples defeating core disciples being a common occurrence during the competition.”

Bai Hongtu drew out his Luo Yu Sword, “This is my sword. I’m currently teaching it swordsmanship, and it’s progressing rapidly.”

After saying that, the Luo Yu Sword performed a sword flourish on its own, learning 30% of the essence of Bai Hongtu’s swordsmanship!

“Not to brag, but everyone knows that I, Bai Hongtu, am known as a Sword Immortal! Compared to some people who only know the Heart Sword technique, my swordsmanship is superior by far!”

“This is the result of my Luo Yu Sword learning for a few days!” Bai Hongtu demonstrated the benefits of spiritual treasures gaining consciousness to everyone.

Jiang Li felt as if he was being mocked.

“No, there is no need to erase the consciousness of the spiritual treasures for now,” Jiang Li said, puzzling both the Yin Yang Heaven Seal and Elder Changcun.

Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li with hopeful eyes, knowing that Jiang Li would come up with a solution.

Jiang Li found inspiration in Ming Zhong’s world.

“Let’s conduct an experiment, starting with the Great Zhou. I’ll persuade Ji Zhi. Specifically, let the Great Zhou issue a law: spiritual treasures are not immortal artifacts and cannot sustain themselves. We can grant certain rights to spiritual treasures, such as helping to enhance their quality, daily maintenance, etc., and impose rules on them.”

“First, they must not harm their master;”

“Second, spiritual treasures must obey their master’s commands, with exceptions when the command conflicts with the first rule;”

“Third, spiritual treasures should protect their own survival as far as possible, provided that it does not violate the first and second rules;”

“And there’s an additional rule: they must protect the overall interests of the people in Jiuzhou from any harm. The first three rules can only be established under this premise.”

“Given the unique situation of the Great Zhou, even if we are successful, the effect of issuing such a law in other realms might not be good.”

“I remember that there are some people in the Dao Sect who practice the uncommon path of contracts. We can try to establish these three rules and the additional rule on a contract, allowing the spiritual treasure masters and the spiritual treasures to sign the contract.”

Bai Hongtu and Elder Changcun thought for a moment, unable to find any flaws in the rules. Amazed by Jiang Li’s idea, they naturally supported it, foreseeing a leap in Jiuzhou’s strength if it could be successfully implemented. As for the Yin Yang Heaven Seal, it couldn’t have found any loopholes in the rules, even if there had been any.

“What are you planning to do next, find the immortal artifacts in the other worlds?” Bai Hongtu asked, as if he was not planning on giving Jiang Li any rest.

“No, I have a new idea that I want to try.”

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal stayed in the Dao Sect, while Jiang Li planned to visit the Great Zhou before trying his new idea.

At that moment, Ji Zhi was deep in intense discussion with his ministers.

“I believe we should use a law to rein in the spiritual treasures! Since spiritual treasures have consciousness now, they are like demonic beasts entering the Great Zhou, discarding their law of the jungle lifestyle. They should be subject to the law, granted rights, and required to fulfill duties!” the Left Prime Minister argued.

“Your words are wrong, Left Prime Minister. Spiritual treasures have always been objects. How can they be granted rights? This is not in line with tradition or common sense. We should treat as domestic animals, acknowledging their lives, while also retaining the power to decide their life and death at will,” the Right Prime Minister rebuffed.

“We’re seeing a change in the spiritual treasures that we haven’t seen for thousands of years. Surely we can’t use tradition as a reason and stay stuck in the past? If the law cannot adapt to the times, not only the law but also our Great Zhou will be left behind!”

“Justice Supreme Minister, do not fearmonger!”

“Fearmonger?” The Justice Supreme Minister scoffed, “How is telling the truth considered fearmongering!”

“Our Great Ancestor could travel through the river of time and certainly foresaw this change. The laws he established only stipulated the rights and duties of the human race and the demonic race and made no mention of spiritual treasures. This shows that there’s no need for special treatment for spiritual treasures.”

“If the Great Ancestor could foresee everything, why didn’t he tell us when the

Heavenly Demons would come!”

“You dare to question the Great Ancestor!”

“Right Prime Minister! Everyone else is respectfully discussing the issue, and here you are throwing groundless accusations!” Ji Zhi was furious.

“Include the spiritual treasures in the laws of the Great Zhou,” Ji Zhi made a decisive statement..
