Emperor of The Cosmos Chapter 129

Jiang Tianhe’s Hunt

Jiang Li avoided this group of cultivator youth.

He didn’t really want to clash with the cultivation civilization and kill someone because his Great Dream Heart Sutra came from the cultivation civilization. Of course, if they find him then it would have to be battle to the death.

Although he found his Dao of “Every living thing in the world must come to understand and trust each other”, he had to be alive to realise this.

There would only be a Dao if one was alive.

This was the root.

If you lose the root, your Dao would not be realised.

Although it is said that the Dao’s pursuer should not be afraid of losing his life in the pursuit of his Dao, that was if the Dao was right in front of them.

If the Dao wasn’t acquired yet, the cultivator should treat his life preciously.

Although this group of cultivator youths had a large amounts of spirit stones and if it was any other student, they would want to rob and kill them immediately, Jiang Li didn’t have any of those intentions for the moment. The Great Dream Heart Sutra he acquired was something from the cultivation civilization. Perhaps this was a yin and he would need to suffer the guo. Killing a lot of cultivators might not be such a good thing.

Now, he had subtly begun to understand the cycle of yin-guo.

All things are born from a yin, even buddhas were of no exception to this and was then ended ended by an unexpected guo. This completed the become, stay, break, empty cycle.

TL Note: the four calamities spoken of in Buddhism

Suddenly, he thought about the time when he first gotten the Great Dream Heart Sutra. The dried body in the sewer cursed: “You must eradicate all foreign demons or you will suffer immensely forever…”

Jiang Li’s heart sunk.

He knew that this curse was not without effect but him eradicating the ‘foreign demons’ was also something impossible. He still had to try and break this curse.

“I won’t think about this for now. I still need to get back to the base.” Jiang Li thought and prepared to hypnotise a bird and ride on that. Although he had understood some of the true essence of air flow and could now glide in the air, it would still be very tiring for him to do so after some time.

In this region, there were also other birds that excelled at flying other than the fire god bird.

With his current hypnosis, he could tame even the fire god bird king.

After all, the hypnotic abilities in greater stasis were tens times stronger than when he was in lesser stasis. His brain cells had also improved quite a lot.

Just when he was searching for a bird to hypnotise, there was a sudden explosion in the sky. Something seemed to be flying over here. It didn’t sound like a living thing but rather a battle ship.

As expected, in the blink of an eye a battle ship had flown over then stopped .

This battle ship was like a fish with its dense scales.

“Astral Fish battle ship!” Jiang Li immediately saw that this was the ship that belonged the Great River squad. But he didn’t know why it would appear here and try to block his path.

Could they be coming especially for him?

Last time, Jiang Tianhe couldn’t kill him due to school rules and had only tested his ability but was still reproached by his teacher. Although they had lost face, they still managed to control themselves and left.

Jiang Li knew that these people have been at the centre of attention since a young age. They thought very highly of themselves and were also extremely arrogant. They wouldn’t be able to endure the humiliation and also definitely wouldn’t let him go. Therefore, he was very careful in covering up his tracks when he had come over to do his missions. However, he didn’t expect for them to track him here so quickly.

Beep

Hi computer’s alarm sounded as if it was being locked on by someone.

“Damn it, they must have a hacker who hacked my computer and then found my position through that. No wonder they could find my location.” Jiang Li was not a computer hacker but he knew some of the principles behind it.

Rumble!

The ship flew up again on top of Jiang Li’s head. There was a beam forming at the bottom of the ship.

“Not good, weapons system? Energy cannon!”

Jiang Li was shocked.

The Astral Fish battle ship cost 4 billion. If it was started up every day, just the energy cost alone would be a huge sum. On top of that, there was still the maintenance and checks that had to take place each month that also cost an astronomical amount. Many people could buy it, but not many could afford to use it and maintain it.

The weapons system aboard it was even stronger. Those energy cannons once they targeted and locked on could attack with an accuracy of in the millimeters, even from thousands of kilometers distance away. The blast range was also huge, being able to completely demolish a mountain.

The things that intercontinental missiles could do 200 years ago were easily achievable by the modern battle ships of today.

However, each time the cannon fired, it required high density and concentrated energy. It was exorbitantly priced. It would probably cost a few hundred million just for one blast.

This was what high technology was in the end, money.

In the sovereign era 200 years ago, once a war had started, the country’s economy would collapse before even fighting half a war.

Buzz

A thick beam of light shot down. In that instant, there was a deep bottomless hole on the earth. All the soil had evaporated.

Jiang Li appeared 200 meters away from that place, he hadn’t been hit by the beam.

I seemed that they didn’t activate those large scale, long range energy cannons and had instead used the laser to spray shoot at him.

After a round of spraying, the light beam stopped and the ground was completely swept clean. The battle ship then descended.

The door opened and three people glided down. None of them had mechas on, they were wearing just the school uniform seemingly having a strong sense of confidence.

The three that appeared were Jiang Tianhe, Huang Ye and another man who was also very strong.

“Jiang Li.”

Jiang Tianhe saw Jiang Li immediately and said slowly: “You think you can escape me?”

“Jiang Tianhe, the school rules allow students to fight empty handed but forbid all kinds of weaponry attacks. If you use guns, mechas or battleship to attack me, you will be sentenced! How dare you use a laser cannon to attack me just now!” Jiang Li knew he had been locked down by this group of people. There was no where for him to escape to, so he might as well fight it out now.

“Really? The laser cannon was just so for us to clean the ground so that the ship would have a place to land.” Huang Ye sneered, her eyes were contemptuous: “Plus, each time we use the laser cannon, the energy cost is in the tens of millions. Do you think you deserve to die like that? You’re just a twat. In our eyes, you’re worthless!”

Jiang Li didn’t get angry when he heard Huang Ye’s words and spoke calmly: “You attack on me just then was a violation of the school rules. I have recorded it just then and uploaded it to the school website for live broadcasting. We’ll see whether you’ll be punished for that.”

“Really?” The man who hadn’t spoken before came up with a face full of scorn: “you think you can threaten us with your pitiful computer skills? Check and see if your clip has been uploaded?”

Jiang Li’s face changed and hurried to open his computer and discovered that it actually had not been uploaded. His computer had been hacked into and he couldn’t even connect to the school internet.

“a little introduction here, this is hacker Li Nawei, a member of the Great River squad. He can attack the computer of any student and acquire all of their information and even locate where they are. Jiang Li, your actions have been under our surveillance.” Jiang Tianhe was very patient and spoke slowly, “but Huang Ye was right, you not worth us using the energy cannon, and wasting our precious energy.”

“Don’t waste time with him, let me capture him” Huang Ye was keen and took a step forward.

“No, I’ll do it personally this time.” Jiang Tianhe stopped Huang Ye. He moved slightly and there was a flow of air that circulated around his body. It spun rapidly and almost made him float in mid-air.

Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed. He knew that Jiang Tianhe’s strength was well above what it was thought to be. Jiang Li couldn’t control the wind just by slightly moving the joints of his body. He could only vibrate his arm to create air waves and knew how to glide like a bat.

Sho!

Jiang Tianhe dashed over.

Before he even arrived, the congenial Chi arrived first. A visible air wall pushed towards him. It was like a glass wall that had been projected forward with lightning like speed towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li dashed and went into the depth of the forest.

Jiang Tianhe had already arrived at where he was just now. The air waves around him were like a tornado, destroying everything within a range of ten steps.

But Jiang Li’s speed wasn’t bad either. He had already disappeared the moment he dashed into the forest.

He disappeared as if out of nowhere . This fazed Jiang Tianhe who was about to try and chase him. He searched around and couldn’t find any traces of Jiang Li’s escape.

Jiang Li seemed to disappear out of nowhere .

“Li Nawei, look for where Jiang Li is.” Jiang Tianhe ordered.

“He can’t get too far away.” Li Nawei took out his computer and started searching, locating but his face gradually grew serious: “His signal’s disappeared. It can’t have disappeared so completely even if he closed his computer. I installed an automatic restarting program in his computer. This means that his computer would always restart when it’s shutdown. But now, it seemed to have lost its effect.”

“Let’ go! Search using the ship, I don’t believe he can outrun a spaceship with just his two legs?” Huang Ye was extremely angry.

Jiang Tianhe and them boarded the ship once again flying into the sky.

“Activate broad view!”

Beep

Inside the battleship, the big screen flickered as it started to search: “There are no humans within 100 kilometer radius!’

“What?” Jiang Tianhe frowned: “He already went outside 100 kilometers? It has only been a few seconds, how is this possible?”

“Expand the search!”

“No humans in 200 kilometers radius.”

“No humans in 300 kilometers radius.”

“There are no humans even in 300 kilometers radius?” Jiang Tianhe shook his head: “He ran more than 300 kilometers in an instant? No that’s impossible, even our battleship isn’t that fast.”

“We can’t find it, I don’t know where he went.” There was nothing Li Weina could do either.

“Hm? Tianhe look, there are some humans!”

“Huang Ye opened the search on the battle ship and suddenly rejoiced.

“400 kilometers radius, 7 humans discovered.” The screen displayed many information.

“This isn’t Jiang Li, it is other students, these students….” Jiang Tianhe looked as his eyes exploded with excitement: “Haha, they are aboriginals. They want to hunt down new students. There are also women withthem. Not bad, not bad, let’s capture them all, I want them alive!”

“Battle ship, attack them at full speed!”

Rumble…. The huge ship flew into the sky far into the distant.

At this moment, on the ground at the depths of the forest, an opaque stone appeared. A dimensional door opened and Jiang Li walked out.

He had disappeared into his dimension just then.

When he entered the dimension in the opaque stone and closed the dimensional doors, it was like he was entering another world. All signals have been lost. And ofcourse Jiang Tianhe couldn’t find him either.

This was the first time he had entered his own dimension.

After he came back out, Jiang Li waved his hand and the opaque stone fell into his hands. This stone could even float by itself.

Just then, when Jiang Li had went into the depth of the dimension, he had discovered many secrets and felt that this opaque stone wasn’t just for him to have the simple ability to store things.
