Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Forty-five Years Old

Jiang Li’s question was undoubtedly strange and foolish to the people of this world. It was like asking in Jiuzhou if anyone knew the Human Emperor. He

didn’t know the Human Emperor, yet he had the nerve to claim to be from Jiuzhou?

The man also looked at Jiang Li with a strange look. How could he ask such a question? Is this from our world?

But he only thought about it, never said it out loud. Besides the Twelve Heavenly Kings, how could anyone from another world come here ?

That was too far-fetched.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were saviors?

Jiang Li was puzzled. This was completely different from the system’s description.

The system said that there were uninvited guests in the Universal World, seeking to destroy it. No matter how one looked at them, they had nothing to do with saviors.

“Who exactly are the Twelve Heavenly Kings?”

“Don’t blame me, brother. I’m from another world and I’m not familiar with yours, so I’m asking.” Jiang Li told the truth.

The man looked at Jiang Li with even more strangeness. “

From another world, I wouldn’t trust you. Do you think you’re the Twelve Heavenly Kings?”

He wanted to shake off his sleeves and leave, but found that Jiang Li’s big hands were like iron and he couldn’t shake them off at all. Seeing Jiang Li’s smiling eyes, he had to accept his fate.

“My last name is Meng. I’m a teacher nearby. I’m preparing to teach history to my students recently. If you really don’t know, I’ll tell you a little bit, just as a preview.”

“More than three hundred years ago, dynasties were fighting for hegemony, and the people were living in poverty. There were corpses everywhere and blood was flowing. History books say that at that time, there were only a few people who practiced martial arts, and only those at the top were qualified to practice martial arts. If you had no money or power, then don’t even think about practicing martial arts.

Even if you managed to get started, you could only hang around in front of the martial arts door for the rest of your life. How could you be much different from ordinary people?” “Moreover, the martial artists at that time were full of blood and needed to rely on killing to stop the uncontrollable blood. Therefore, people who practiced martial arts were also called murderers.

Anyone who has achieved success in martial arts must have killed people!” “Martial artists killed people on the battlefield. Even well-trained soldiers could not withstand a martial artist’s move. A martial artist could dominate the battlefield alone and was invincible.”

“Martial artists need to kill people, and dynasties need territory. The two hit it off and conspired to rule the world together.”

“All the major dynasties did their best to recruit warriors and send them to the battlefield. Dynasties short of warriors were forced to fight the warriors with the lives of ordinary soldiers. After each war, countless innocent soldiers died at the hands of warriors.”

Instructor Meng said this, puffing out his chest, clearing his throat, and proudly saying, “At this time, the upper realm saw the suffering of the common people and sent the Twelve Heavenly Kings to save us.”

“The Twelve Heavenly Kings were extremely brave. The warriors were no match for them and were easily defeated.”

“The Heavenly Kings believed that the warriors before them were complacent and refused to release their martial arts secrets, which was wrong. So the Heavenly Kings spread martial arts throughout the world, making the martial arts secrets completely public so that anyone could practice martial arts and become a warrior.” “

Moreover, the martial arts secrets released by the Heavenly Kings were improved. People who practiced according to the new martial arts secrets no longer had the urge to kill bloodthirstily.”

“From then on, warriors were no longer synonymous with superiority. There was no longer a distinction between warriors and civilians. Everyone was a warrior.”

“In other words, Instructor Meng is also a martial artist. I wonder where the martial arts secrets came from?”

“Of course they were issued by the Heavenly Kings.” Instructor Meng said as a matter of course, “The Heavenly Kings said that martial arts secrets cannot be written at will, otherwise it is easy to repeat the same mistakes and become the kind of martial artist who likes to kill people.”

“I still have some doubts.”

“Go ahead.” Instructor Meng now really feels like he is in class.

“Since warriors are the source of chaos, why not simply destroy the martial arts manuals? That way, everyone would be civilians, and there wouldn’t be anyone breaking the law with martial arts. Instead, the Heavenly Kings go to great lengths to improve and then release them?” “

That’s something you don’t know. The new martial arts manuals have other uses. For example, the martial arts manuals from over three hundred years ago could only allow a person to live to their twenties or thirties, but the ones today can allow a person to live to forty, even forty-five. The longevity effect is truly remarkable!”

“Incredible indeed! If one could live to forty-five, that would truly be considered a long life,” Jiang Li offered a hypocritical compliment. The average lifespan in Jiuzhou was one hundred and twenty, and death at forty-five was rare.

Jiang Li had heard from Immortal Changcun that the human lifespan in all the heavens and myriad realms was fixed at one hundred and forty.

However, without cultivation, very few could reach one hundred and forty. For example, in the worlds of bells and zombies, inhabitants could theoretically live to one hundred and forty, but few in either world reached full lifespan.

This is due to acquired pollution. The human body is both a vessel for navigating the mundane world and a reservoir for

filth and dirt. Infancy is the purest moment of a person’s life. As the turbid qi of acquired energy corrodes, it gradually loses its purity, absorbs impurities, and its lifespan declines. If one focuses on maintaining good health, they can live to around a hundred years old, but if they indulge in excess, it’s hard to say how long they’ll live.

Cultivating immortality, also known as cultivating the true self, means cultivating the true self, one of which is to return to the pure body of an infant.

Whether it’s Qi training or foundation building, it’s a process of continuously utilizing spiritual energy to cleanse the essence and marrow, a process that also involves the excretion of impurities such as sludge.

Therefore, those in the Qi training and foundation building stages can live to the human natural lifespan of 140. After the Golden Core stage, lifespan increases with cultivation.

In other words, the lifespan here should also be 140 years.

He observed the people nearby with his spiritual sense and found that, as Instructor Meng had said, the martial arts secrets they were practicing were largely similar, with no essential differences.

They were all martial arts secrets designed to burn away lifespan.

Jiang Li had never seen the previous martial arts manuals, so it was hard to comment. However, if, as Instructor Meng said, the current situation was about extending lifespan, then the previous martial arts manuals were quite effective in burning lifespan.

“Where are the Heavenly Kings?” Jiang Li was curious. This world was also a continent, and his spiritual sense couldn’t fully cover it. He did spot an emperor-like figure, but his dim-witted appearance didn’t resemble the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

“The Heavenly Kings have long since returned to the heavens. If they think we’ve done anything wrong, they’ll send a dream to His Majesty.”

“When will they send a dream?”

“How can we know?” Instructor Meng laughed.

Jiang Li detected movement in the remote communication symbol and was surprised to find it was Commander Liu calling him.

Jiang Li’s thoughts raced for a moment. This was something he had never experienced before. Could it be that Commander Liu finally had an opinion about him being in charge of the Human Emperor Palace and wanted him to go back?

No, he had to think of a good excuse.

Jiang Li came to a deserted place and connected the remote communication talisman.

“Palace Master, there is a child here…”

“I have a stomachache…”

“…”

“…”

Commander Liu and Jiang Li were silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

In the end, Commander Liu suggested: “Why don’t you go to the toilet first? The matter is not too urgent.”

A Mahayana said he had a stomachache. Palace Master, have you been poisoned by the legendary Sanxian poison that even immortals would die if they took it?

“Well, tell me.”
