Chapter 13 caused a sensation online: a true story! The might of the Heavenly Emperor!
The deathly silence on the street lasted for about two or three seconds before being broken by a gasp and an uncontrollable exclamation.
Pan Hui stood in the crowd, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yu's profile.
She had seen the video, the image of the man blocking the car with his body, and the car's front end dented like paper. But a video is a video, and the scene is the scene.
When all of this actually happened before your eyes, when that slender figure subdued three armed thugs with her bare hands in less than three seconds, the impact was something that no screen could convey.
That's amazing.
Cultivation of immortality...does it really exist?
This thought was like a nail, driven deep into Pan Hui's mind, and she couldn't pull it out.
The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar.
"Holy crap! What just happened?"
"That girl...she took down three thugs? By herself?"
"That was fast! I didn't even see how she moved!"
"It's her! That debunking streamer! I've seen her videos online! The one who physically stopped the car!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's her! Jiang Yu! My God, is everything she said true?"
"Cultivation of immortality... does cultivation of immortality really exist?"
"Her speed just now was faster than Bolt's, wasn't it? And the power... one punch sent someone flying several meters..."
"I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced. From today onwards, I'm her fan."
A wave of discussion swept through the crowd, with some people taking out their phones to take photos and videos, causing a brief period of chaos.
The group of fully armed SWAT team members were also stunned.
They had just received orders to prepare for a full-scale assault. Shields, assault rifles, and flashbangs were all ready, and tactical plans were all in place. But before they could even make a move, a little girl carrying breakfast rushed up and ended the battle in three seconds.
The special police officers looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
"What... what's going on?"
"How did she do that? That speed...it's unbelievable."
"All our equipment is no match for their two fists."
The team leader opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
What can he say? Thank the helpful citizens for their assistance? But that would only work if the helpful citizens were operating within the normal range.
Jiang Yu helped the injured female employee to the side and handed her over to the arriving paramedics. Then, she dusted off her hands and prepared to leave.
She got up early today to buy breakfast and, incidentally, to test her newfound speed and strength after her initial success in overcoming hardship. Unexpectedly, she encountered this situation and resolved it easily.
The results were better than she had expected—after achieving a minor success in opening the Sea of Bitterness, her reaction speed, explosive power, and strength were all significantly better than when she had first opened the Sea of Bitterness.
"Wait a moment!"
A voice came from behind.
Jiang Yu turned around and saw a young woman dressed in casual clothes with her hair tied in a low ponytail walking quickly towards her. The woman had dark skin, regular features, and sharp eyes; she was clearly trained.
"Hello, I'm Pan Hui from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division." Pan Hui flashed her badge, staring into Jiang Yu's eyes. "I want to ask you, how did you do that just now?"
"You mean those three thugs?" Jiang Yu smiled. "They've practiced martial arts for a few years, so they just react quickly."
Pan Hui didn't laugh. Her expression was serious, even somewhat stern: "I watched the replay of your live stream yesterday. When that car hit you, you shielded it with your body. The front of the car was smashed, but you were fine. That's not something kung fu can do."
Jiang Yu looked at her and remained silent for two seconds.
The surrounding noise seemed to fade into the distance. Jiang Yu could sense that there was no malice in Pan Hui's eyes, only confusion and a persistent desire to find answers.
"Do you believe it?" Jiang Yu asked.
Pan Hui was taken aback.
She recalled what her boss had said on the phone yesterday—"That's fake traffic" and "Don't get hung up on it."
She recalled watching the video more than twenty times in her office, zooming in and slowing down every frame, trying to find flaws, but she found nothing.
She recalled the scene from just now, that figure so fast that even the eyes couldn't keep up, with ridiculously great strength.
"I don't know," Pan Hui said honestly, "but I want to find out."
Jiang Yu smiled. This policewoman is quite genuine; she doesn't pretend or put on airs.
"Follow my live stream," Jiang Yu said. "I'll explain everything clearly in the live stream in a few days. You'll understand then."
After saying that, she turned and left without saying another word.
Pan Hui stood there, watching Jiang Yu's figure disappear around the street corner.
She didn't chase after her, nor did she ask her to give a statement.
It's unnecessary.
Taking a statement from this kind of person is pointless. Everything about her is public knowledge—live streams, videos, her techniques—it's all laid bare for anyone to see. She's not afraid for you to know; in fact, she might even want you to spread it.
Pan Hui took out her phone, searched for Jiang Yu, and followed her.
The video of Jiang Yu swiftly killing three thugs in front of a bank quickly went viral online.
Push notifications, short videos, and posts from various platforms are everywhere.
The titles are getting more and more exaggerated:
"Female news anchor who physically stopped a car strikes again! Subduing three armed robbers in three seconds!"
"Anti-fraud anchor Jiang Yu performs a live demonstration of disarming a gun bare-handed, with lightning speed!"
"Improved cultivation credentials? Jiang Yu demonstrates superhuman strength on the spot, witnessed by hundreds of people!"
"Is the Heavenly Emperor Scripture real? After Jiang Yu revealed his cultivation method, netizens tested it and the results were amazing!"
"Is the era of universal cultivation here? The Jiang Yu incident sparks heated discussions across the internet!"
Videos from various angles were played repeatedly. Some captured panoramic views from afar, others showed close-up details, and still others captured Jiang Yu's seemingly instantaneous speed. Although the video quality varied, all the videos pointed to the same fact—that girl had indeed accomplished something absolutely impossible for an ordinary person.
The comment section exploded.
"I hereby declare that, from today onwards, I am Jiang Yu's number one fan!"
"I didn't believe in cultivating immortality before, but now I truly do. This speed, this power—can a normal person achieve that?"
"I just want to know, how exactly do you practice that Heavenly Emperor Scripture? I want to learn it too!"
"Upstairs, Jiang Yu announced it during her live stream this morning. Go search for the replay. I tried it, and I do feel much better."
"Stop bragging, I tried it, and I didn't feel anything. It's just psychological."
"Can the psychological effect last all day? I was working overtime late into the night and felt dizzy and disoriented, but after practicing for about ten minutes, I felt completely refreshed. Anyway, I think it worked."
"Whether it works or not is another matter, but I just want to ask, if Jiang Yu is this strong, how strong must her brother be?"
"Didn't her brother die in a plane crash three years ago? Someone in the comments is saying her brother is back, and he's even wearing ancient costume..."
"This is getting more and more outrageous. I think you've all been brainwashed."
The debate intensified, with more and more people believing and more and more people not believing.
But one thing is certain—the name Jiang Yu has become incredibly popular.
She became so popular that even people who never follow live streams or internet celebrities knew her name.
Big Dipper.
heaven.
Jiang Feng sat on the imperial throne, his eyes closed, feeling the faint but continuously growing feedback within his body.
Feedback from Blue Star.
My sister should have already started taking action.
Although the current feedback is still weak, it is already more noticeable than before.
This indicates that someone on Earth is attempting cultivation and has made some progress.
Jiang Feng opened his eyes, his gaze passing through the gates of the Heavenly Palace and looking into the distance.
There lies the forbidden zone of life on the Big Dipper—the Undying Mountain, the Primordial Mine, the Sea of Reincarnation, and the Burial Island…
These places are where ancient supreme beings who slept by cutting themselves with their own swords lie dormant.
They were once the overlords of an era, attaining the Dao and becoming emperors, ruling over the nine heavens and ten earths.
But time is merciless; they cannot live forever. In their later years, they can only cut themselves off, escape into forbidden areas, fall into slumber, and wait for the day when the path to immortality opens.
Waiting... to harvest the blood of billions of lives in order to prolong their own broken existence.
Jiang Feng frowned slightly.
The restricted area has been rather turbulent lately.
He could sense that those slumbering supreme beings were awakening.
The first place to show unusual activity was the Undying Mountain.
The forbidden zone shrouded in black mist has recently been emanating terrifying fluctuations.
The sound of the immortal source cracking, the traces of the Dao patterns twisting, the imperial aura appearing and disappearing, death energy and imperial might intertwined, as if something was turning over in its slumber.
Then there's the Primordial Mine.
From the depths of that ancient mining area came a low sigh. The sound was so faint that ordinary cultivators couldn't hear it at all, but Jiang Feng heard it.
That was the Supreme One sighing, lamenting the impending carnage—or perhaps, annoyed by the impending breaking of his slumber.
An unusual movement was also reported on Burial Sky Island. An aura at the Quasi-Emperor level emanated from the restricted area; it was a servant released by the Supreme Being, probing the situation outside.
In the depths of the universe, all things groan in sorrow. It is an instinctive fear of death that makes even the great principles of heaven and earth tremble.
The ultimate imperial weapon roared autonomously.
The true strength of all the major powers—those dormant supreme beings, living fossils, and immortal old men—has been awakened.
They opened their eyes from their seclusion, looked towards the direction of the forbidden zone, and their faces were ashen.
Is it coming?
"The Dark Turmoil... is about to begin again."
"In this lifetime, is there anyone who can stop us?"
"Where...where is that Heavenly Emperor?"
Everyone's gaze turned towards the Heavenly Court without prior arrangement.
Jiang Feng sat on the imperial throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.
After attaining enlightenment, he established the Heavenly Court, enabling the human race to stand up and no longer be oppressed by the Primordial Race and the Ancient Race. However, he rarely appeared in public, and the outside world knew very little about him.
Some say he is unfathomable, some say he is nothing special, and some say he may have already passed away.
It seems that even the old guard in the penalty area has his own ideas now.
Those who attain enlightenment should all take a stroll through the forbidden zones. Not to fight, but to make a greeting—to tell the supreme beings within the forbidden zones, "I have attained enlightenment; I am the ruler of this era; you all better behave."
But Jiang Feng hadn't gone before.
It wasn't that he didn't dare, it was that he didn't have time. When he first attained enlightenment, he had too many things to deal with—integrating the Heavenly Court, appeasing various races, suppressing dissent, searching for resources, researching systems… He was so busy that he forgot about this matter.
It seems we need to make up for it now.
Jiang Feng stood up, stepped out of the Heavenly Palace, stood high in the sky, and looked down at the vast earth below.
Then, he moved.
Treading on countless paths, traversing the heavens.
A golden light extended from beneath his feet, paving a great road that stretched across the heavens and earth, pointing straight towards the direction of the Undying Mountain.
The light was so bright that it could be seen across the entire Big Dipper.
The aura was so powerful that countless cultivators knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"That's... the Heavenly Emperor!"
"The Heavenly Emperor has gone on an inspection tour!"
"The direction he's heading... is the Undying Mountain! He's going into the forbidden zone!"
The entire Big Dipper constellation instantly erupted in excitement.
Countless people poured out of their homes and looked up at the sky.
The golden beam of light stretched across the sky, as if someone had laid a road in the heavens.
At the end of the path of light, a figure dressed in a dark imperial robe stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering. Although he was far away, he seemed to be right in front of him.
The feeling was as if all the light in the world was gathered on him, all sounds were silenced for him, and all laws were subjugated to him.
"The Heavenly Emperor is on a celestial tour!"
"This is the legendary Heavenly Emperor's inspection of the heavens!"
"Ancient texts record that after a Great Emperor attains enlightenment, he should patrol the heavens once to awe the forbidden zones and appease all living beings. But that was in ancient times; no one has done it for tens of thousands of years!"
"Is the Heavenly Emperor... going to the forbidden zone?"
"What is he going to do? The forbidden zone contains the ancestral kings of the ancient royal family, supreme beings, and he's all alone..."
"Shut up! How dare you presume to comment on the actions of the Heavenly Emperor?"
The message spread at the speed of light throughout the five regions of the Big Dipper, the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Plains, the Western Desert, the Southern Ridge, and the Central Plains, and reached all the major holy lands, ancient religions, and royal families.
Deep within the universe, in the depths of the various forbidden zones of life, those supreme beings who had just awakened or were in the process of awakening also sensed that golden light.
Deep within the Undying Mountain, a pair of scarlet eyes opened, gazing at the sky. It belonged to a supreme being who had slumbered for countless millennia. His body was withered and his life force was decaying, but the killing intent and greed in his eyes burned fiercely and terrifyingly.
"The one who attains enlightenment... surveys the heavens?"
His voice was hoarse, like sand being rubbed against gravel: "At his peak... not to be trifled with."
Deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine, a colossal figure writhed in the darkness. His aura was stronger than that of the one from Undying Mountain, yet equally decaying. He remained silent for a long time before letting out a low sigh: "We'll make plans when he's old...."
On the seabed of the Sea of Reincarnation, a massive stone coffin cracked open. A withered hand reached out from the crack, then withdrew. An aged voice echoed in the void: "No rush... no rush... he will grow old one day..."
At the highest point of Burial Sky Island, a figure shrouded in darkness stood on the edge of a cliff, gazing at the golden beam of light in the sky. He didn't speak, but simply watched quietly for a while before turning and disappearing into the darkness.
But none of these supreme beings dared to make a move.
Jiang Feng's first stop on his journey to explore the heavens was the Undying Mountain.
The golden light extended directly to the entrance of the Undying Mountain. The black stone gate, which no one had ever dared to approach, appeared dull and lifeless in the face of the golden light.
Jiang Feng did not stop.
He walked directly into the Undying Mountain.
Without hesitation, without testing the waters, without being cautious, he simply swaggered in, as if walking into his own backyard.
Inside the Undying Mountain, black mist swirled, and corpses littered the ground. This black mist was highly poisonous, capable of corroding a cultivator's physical body and primordial spirit. But wherever Jiang Feng walked, the black mist automatically dissipated, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
He walked to the core area of the Immortal Mountain and stood in front of a huge ancient mine.
This ancient mine is the foundation of the Undying Mountain, and beneath it lies the slumber of more than one supreme being.
Jiang Feng stood there, unleashing his imposing aura.
It wasn't a deliberate attack, it's just... a lack of restraint.
The Heavenly Emperor's aura was like a vast ocean, a boundless starry sky, and the brightest star in the eternal night. That oppressive force was enough to make even a quasi-emperor-level expert kneel in submission, and to shatter the minds of a saint-lord-level being.
Deep within the ancient mine, an uneasy commotion arose.
Those slumbering supreme beings were awakened by this aura. They felt that irresistible power, that absolute authority that crushed everything and looked down upon eternity.
An aged thought emanated from the depths of the ancient mine, filled with anger and apprehension: "Young man, don't be too arrogant. You will grow old one day."
