Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Stop pretending, I am in the Tribulation Period

a Luban Sect disciple in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. He regretfully withdrew from the competition, but the Luban Sect leader in the stands was beaming with joy. This convention was like free advertising; after today, a large number of disciples would undoubtedly choose to join the Luban Sect.

People often confuse the Luban Sect with the Corpse Driving Sect, believing one to play with puppets and the other with corpses, with little difference.

Corpses from the Corpse Driving Sect aren’t considered spiritual treasures and can’t develop spiritual intelligence, while Luban Sect puppets are.

Now he wanted to see who could still argue that they weren’t much different from the Corpse Driving Sect.

Besides the Luban Sect disciples’ hidden abilities, there was also Longzi, wielding a night-shining pearl. While it might seem powerless, the pearl, once spiritualized, could dim or brighten at will.

The pearl flickered at an alarming rate, blinding his opponent. Taking advantage of his opponent’s temporary blindness, Longzi decisively struck, winning the match.

The tournament also raised numerous legal issues. For example, a Jindan-stage cultivator caused his spiritual treasure to self-destruct, injuring his opponent. The Minister of Law argued that spiritual treasures also have the right to life, and this constituted premeditated murder, which should not be considered a normal tactic in competition.

Ji Zhi could foresee that this issue would spark heated debate in the court.

This presented another vexing problem.

The Nascent Soul group presented no surprises, with the four independent cultivators surging ahead, easily defeating their opponents regardless of their tactics.

The tournament finals, rather than a one-on-one duel, tested the cultivators’ flexibility and coordination, pitting the ten advanced cultivators against each other in a chaotic arena, with the last remaining cultivator standing as the victor.

“Contestant Yunfan used eight large coins to transform into bronze swords to defend himself head-on, and the remaining one to attack from behind, ultimately securing victory… What? The opponent disagrees with the outcome, claiming Yunfan’s use of nine large coins exceeded the limit on spiritual treasures and violated the rules.”

“…After a vote, the referee panel determined that large coins are typically used in sets, and that the nine coins should be considered a single spiritual treasure. Contestant Yunfan did not violate the rules.”

“Contestant Yunfan takes first place in the Foundation Establishment Group! Let’s congratulate him!” Tianming Taoist passionately explained.

As Tianming Taoist finished speaking, disciples from the Tianji Tower, disguised as spectators, applauded, leading the entire audience to applaud.

These were cultivators specially arranged by Tianming Taoist to maintain the atmosphere.

Also known as “stooges,” they were also called “stooges.

” The Jindan Group also concluded.

The highly anticipated Nascent Soul Finals began.

Ten Nascent Soul cultivators stood on the stage, divided into four and six groups, clearly defined.

These six Nascent Soul cultivators had fought their way to this point, having long since agreed that victory depended on defeating these four formidable independent cultivators.

“Charge! Everyone, attack together!” A Nascent Soul cultivator commanded the other five with the demeanor of a general.

“Six Nascent Soul cultivators formed a grand formation, combined with their spiritual treasures, unleashing astonishing power. This is the Six-Law Painting Dao Formation. Six people occupy six positions, leveraging their strengths to the fullest. This formation is only usable by the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and yet they barely managed to use it at the Nascent Soul Stage. This is undoubtedly a powerful weapon! They attacked! They were thrown off the stage by Contestant Bai Tu… huh?”

“Contestant Bai Tu’s power is unfathomable,” Tianming Daoist muttered. He was completely baffled by Bai Hongtu’s tactics. He clearly hadn’t utilized spiritual power beyond that of the Nascent Soul Stage, but he just couldn’t understand them.

“Who will ultimately be the victor? Will it be the playful Bai Tu, the ruthless Yu Ming, the adherent of ancient rituals Chen Jiannan, or the unpretentious Li Er? We’ll have to wait and see!”

At this moment, the atmosphere among the four present was somewhat unsettling.

Bai Hongtu said with a half-smile, “Everyone, since we’re at the Nascent Soul stage, let’s not use methods beyond that, okay?”

Li Er responded, “Let’s fight within the rules.”

The Sword Lord remained silent, unsheathing his precious sword, his sword intent soaring into the air.

“Contestant Chen Jiannan draws his sword! He’s actually a sword cultivator!” Tianming Daoist was surprised. This Chen Jiannan had never used a spirit sword, but instead employed other methods. Even so, with Tianming Daoist’s insight, he should have been able to discern something.

This Chen Jiannan was hiding something, and Tianming Daoist felt a sense of foreboding.

Yu Yin produced a gourd, which opened, spewing out thunder.

“So the gourd isn’t just for decoration! Contestant Yu Ming finally uses her gourd!” Tianming Daoist looked at the gourd in Yu Yin’s hand, and it looked incredibly familiar.

No, no way, could an immortal artifact appear here? Hahaha, I must have been mistaken.

Then, Bai Hongtu grasped his sword in one hand and a talisman in the other, while Li Er performed a miniature Dharma image.

These were all methods of the Nascent Soul stage, yet Tianming Daoist felt uneasy.

“As a sword cultivator, yet you still practice runes and formations? This is a disgrace to our generation of sword cultivators,” the Sword Lord said, displeased with Bai Hongtu’s behavior.

“It’s my fault for being so energetic. Sword cultivation, runes cultivation, and formation cultivation can be carried out simultaneously without interfering with each other.” Bai Hongtu chuckled, disagreeing with the Sword Lord, proud of his status as a triple cultivator.

“Then let’s fight!”

“Then let’s fight!”

Bai Hongtu and the Sword Lord engaged in a fierce battle. Their swordsmanship was exquisite, their spiritual swords clashing in a harmonious resonance, their resolve soaring.

Their battle was a classic Nascent Soul stage battle, with not a single ounce of spiritual energy wasted. Bai Hongtu employed a vast array of techniques: two fingers formed runes, three fingers drew formations, and the sword, runes, and formations combined in unison. The combined power was earth-shattering. Even the arena, indestructible to the Nascent Soul stage, could not withstand the force and began to crack.

Remember, Bai Hongtu remained at the Nascent Soul stage the entire time!

The Sword Master is devoted to the sword. He can cut through all methods with one sword. After breaking the inner demon, his sword intent has reached a higher level. No matter what fancy means Bai Hongtu uses, he can break it with one sword!

The Ruyi Gourd spews out thunder, and Yu Yin holds a white flame in her hand. The temperature on the ring suddenly rises, and her vision is distorted. She is cold and ruthless, but she is actually a cultivator with fire spiritual roots!

Thunder and flames intertwined to form countless thunderbolts. Yu Yin pointed at Li Er, and a series of thunderbolts exploded, and black smoke rose. Even though there was a large formation protecting the ring, the audience below was still deafened by the huge sound.

An ordinary Yuanying stage cultivator would die if he touched it!

Li Er used himself as a Dharma body, with unparalleled defense. He rushed out of the black smoke, and the thunderbolt hardly hurt him!

The audience below was stunned. Is this still the Yuanying stage? Even the God Transformation stage may not be able to fight like this.

The four men gradually clashed with true fury. Swordsmanship reigned supreme, with Bai Hongtu and the Sword Lord vying for supremacy. The Sword Lord was the first to strike, unleashing a sword strike of Divine Transformation power.

Bai Hongtu, feeling the loss, flew into a rage, “How dare you claim this was a Nascent

Soul Stage strike?” “I’m

a gifted man, a breakthrough on the cusp of battle.” “Excellent, excellent! Very excellent!” Bai Hongtu’s face remained unsmiling. “I have within me a Tribulation Stage expert, temporarily boosting me to the Fusion Stage!”

A magnificent and dazzling formation enveloped the Sword Lord. A single movement from the Sword Lord was unstoppable, even losing control of his sword.

This formation, inspired by Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu had created, effectively neutralizing friction within a specific radius!

“Without your sword, I wonder how you can fight!”

“Without a sword, I can’t fight. How can a sword be so inconvenient!”

The Sword Lord summoned the sword energy within him, shattering the formation.

This was the technique of the Tribulation Stage!

“Stop pretending, huh?” Bai Hongtu engraved a sophisticated formation on his sword, and with one strike, the sky opened, a cloudless, clear sky.

It was also the technique of the Tribulation Stage!

Elsewhere, Yu Yin and Li Er no longer suppressed their realms and unleashed their true meaning of transcending tribulation.

The large formation on the stage couldn’t withstand such power and shattered automatically.

All four of them chose to fly into the vast universe.

The audience and the representatives in the stands were shocked by this sudden change. They looked up at the sky, their mouths wide open, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, someone finally broke the silence.

“Imperial Physician, bring me my heart pills!”

Jiang Li thoughtfully handed them to Ji Zhi.
