Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Sorry, it was a mistake

“Strange, weren’t you from the Fearless Alliance just now? You bumped into me and said sorry. Why do you seem to be following the rules?”

“It seems everyone in the Fearless Alliance has become like this. I wonder what’s provoking them.”

Jiang Li, passing by with his men, overheard the conversation and smiled slightly.

“The Sword Tomb is about to open. Five Elements, do you want to go in?”

Yuan Five Elements was stunned. He didn’t have the necessary qualifications, so how could he possibly enter?

Meeting Jiang Li’s gentle gaze, Yuan Five Elements understood that whether he could enter the Sword Tomb depended not on the Sword Tomb’s wishes but on Jiang Li’s.

However, he still refused.

“I don’t think you have an extraordinary talent in the way of the sword. I have no achievements in the way of the sword. Entering is futile. Forget it.”

Although Yuan Five Elements’ words were sincere, Jiang Li felt something was wrong, like a mockery.

“Well, then, I’ll teach you a magical power. You should study it well.” Jiang Li didn’t care and taught him the most difficult magical power to learn:

the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Yuan Wuxing’s eyes welled with tears. The Human Emperor truly valued him, even granting him such a magical power. It was said that even cultivators in the Fusion Stage could only comprehend the rudiments after spending three decades, demonstrating its difficulty. The power of this magical power was truly terrifying. With a radiant wave of five colors, nothing could escape its grasp, nothing could be left unbroken.

He vowed to live up to the Human Emperor’s expectations and diligently cultivate. In

the end, Jiang Li used brute force to break into the Sword Tomb.

As its name suggests, the Sword Tomb is a graveyard of swords. Broken swords littered the landscape, like two sword-wielding armies clashing, each side suffering. Ultimately, the remains of the armies vanished, leaving only an endless stream of sword energy.

The sword energy here was chaotic and whirling, scattering recklessly, and anyone not careful could be slashed by it.

“Look, that’s the Sword Dao Stele!” Qi Sha Daozi excitedly pointed at it. He admired the Sword Tomb’s surroundings.

Qi Sha Daozi possessed a remarkable talent for the sword, otherwise he wouldn’t have defeated Qin Luan twice out of ten times. Qin Luan had rarely lost against anyone of the same level.

At the Sword Tomb, the most striking feature wasn’t the broken sword, but the twelve towering stone tablets.

These tablets were pitted and dented, a testament to the vicissitudes of life, not from the ravages of wind and rain, but from the wear and tear of sword energy.

“The Sword Tomb has three tests, and this is the first. Only by mastering three sword techniques can one advance to the next.” Jiang Li gazed at the tablets with nostalgia, recalling the past.

It was there that he attained enlightenment within the Heart Sword.

However, a passerby’s conversation dampened Jiang Li’s mood.

“Is that the tablet that allowed Emperor Jiang Ren to achieve his ultimate swordsmanship?”

“I heard that Emperor Jiang Ren sat in meditation here for three days. When he arose, two golden rays emanated from his eyes, and sword energy spanned thirty thousand miles. Six of the eighteen tablets were severed, leaving only twelve!”

Qi Sha Daozi, hearing the conversation, gazed at Jiang Li with admiration.

Jiang Li felt a pang of guilt. He had sat in meditation for three days, had sword energy surging, and had severed six tablets, but none of that was done by him. It was Bai Hongtu, who was standing next to him!

Later, Bai Hongtu told Jiang Li that each stone tablet represented a sword technique. He had mastered all twelve, but the remaining six were misleading, so he destroyed them to prevent future generations from misleading.

Song Ying, hearing this rumor for the first time, also looked at Jiang Li with admiration: “I’ve heard that Sect Master Bai is known as the Sword Immortal. You’re even stronger than him, the Sword Immortal of all Sword Immortals.”

Qin Luan chimed in: “Sword Immortal Immortal, in short.”

Jiang Li patted Qin Luan’s head lovingly. What a wonderful child, but unfortunately, he had a big mouth.

Jiang Li didn’t dwell on the topic: “Go under the stone tablet and try to comprehend a few moves.”

After the three people and the fox sat before the stone tablet, contemplating them wholeheartedly, Jiang Li also secretly tried to see if he could comprehend the remaining eleven moves.

[Detecting that the host is comprehending the sword path. Do you want to use the source point comprehending function to enhance the comprehending effect?]

Jiang Li naturally chose no.

“I can only comprehend the heart sword,” Jiang Li lamented.

After five hundred years of refinement, his Heart Sword surpassed the one left on the stone tablet. Even Bai Hongtu, who often mocked Jiang Li for his lack of talent in swordsmanship, had to admit that with this Heart Sword move, Jiang Li surpassed Bai Hongtu.

However, Jiang Li still sought to comprehend the remaining eleven moves.

Clearly, he failed.

Three days later, several people awoke, including Song Ying.

“I’ve mastered five moves.”

Four days later, the little fox awoke, excitedly waving its paws nine times, announcing its nine-moment mastery. It imagined itself regaining its Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox form, unleashing its swordsmanship with all nine tails, slaughtering the rebels.

However, upon seeing Jiang Li’s half-smile, it lowered its voice again.

Two days later, Qisha Daozi and Qin Luan awoke simultaneously.

“I’ve mastered ten moves.”

“I’ve mastered ten too.”

“I’m almost at the eleventh move.”

“Me too.”

Seeing they hadn’t surpassed the other, they both chuckled.

Of the four people and one fox, only Jiang Li failed the second test.

The three people and the fox were teleported away, and Jiang Li was left alone.

Jiang Li curled his lips, tore open the space, and followed the direction they were teleported.

He had never been to the place where the second test was, but he had heard Bai Hongtu say that the second test was to see the fate between you and the spirit sword. If you can pull out the best spirit sword, you can enter the third test.

Bai Hongtu thought he had found the best spirit sword, but the sword was disobedient and stuck in the soil, refusing to come out. He had no choice but to find another spirit sword because he thought it was not a good fate.

However, because he did not pull out the best spirit sword, he failed to enter the third test.

In the four thousand years of the sword tomb, no one could enter the third test.

This was the second test that Jiang Li saw with his own eyes. Spirit swords that looked the same were stuck in the ground, like tombstones.

These were dusty, their rank indistinguishable, seemingly not even spiritual swords, but ordinary swords forged from ordinary iron.

Song Ying pulled out a sword, and it transformed dramatically, stripped of its luster, revealing its true nature. It was a magical weapon-level spiritual sword, which was already quite impressive for Song Ying.

However, a magical weapon-level sword clearly wasn’t the best.

Song Ying tried to pull out another sword, but found it seemed fused with the earth, making it impossible to pull even a fraction.

A little fox selected a sword, grasping the blade with its tiny paws, and slowly pulled it out.

It was also a magical weapon, but a higher-level one than Song Ying’s.

The little fox wasn’t satisfied with its own sword, determined to pull out a Dao-level sword.

However, it encountered the same situation as Song Ying and couldn’t pull out the second one either.

“Everyone here can only pull out one sword,” Jiang Li said, casually pulling out a

rusty sword that was barely scrap metal.

Jiang Li, feeling embarrassed, put the sword back in place and reached for another.

He encountered immense resistance, so he pulled it out, sword and dirt included.

The spirit sword, cleansed of all its impurities, was about to reveal its true form, but halfway through, it felt something was wrong; it didn’t quite count as being pulled out, so it pulled it back, returning to its inconspicuous form.

Sorry, I made a mistake.

Song Ying: “…”

Little Fox: “…”

Jiang Li: “…You’re forcing me to use my full strength, aren’t you?”
