Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Immortal is the World

. Bu Jing arrived at the main hall and shared her overnight insights with the three powerful beings, Abu, the Bu family head, and Butian. She also passed around the “Shangqing Huangting Waijing Jing” (External Scenery Sutra).

Abu, the Bu family head, and Butian were stunned. Bu Jing’s external scenery seemed like a fairy tale to them, but upon closer examination, it seemed quite capable of cultivation.

After reading the “Shangqing Huangting Waijing Jing” (External Scenery Sutra), they were even more astounded. Even Abu hadn’t expected his brother’s talent to reach such a level, capable of writing such a world-shaking masterpiece.

“A warrior doesn’t seek from heaven, but can learn from it. The 720 acupuncture points correspond to the 720 constellations in the celestial sphere, intersecting with heaven and earth. That’s a good idea,” Jiang Li nodded.

“So, this is the right path?” Bu Jing asked excitedly, her face wrinkled.

Jiang Li wasn’t sure, but he didn’t deny.

“We haven’t truly practiced martial arts. Whether it’s correct or not depends on your own experimentation. You may succeed, or fail. Everything is uncertain, anything is possible.”

Jiang Li’s perspective remained unchanged. They refrained from directly interfering with Bu Jing’s martial arts development. They merely offered Bu Jing a guideline.

“Tsk, you’re just talking nonsense. You’ve been the Human Emperor for so long that you can’t even speak human language,” Bai Hongtu whispered to Yu Yin. “What do you mean you haven’t practiced martial arts before? How could that be a problem for those in the Tribulation Crossing or Great Perfection stages?” After hearing Bu Jing’s explanation, they had already simulated it using their spiritual platforms.

It’s feasible.

The Outer Realm is feasible.

Bu Jing had only a general idea of the Outer Realm, but Jiang Li and the other two had a clearer view. Beyond the Outer Realm, they had even deduced the general idea of how to cultivate to the point of breaking through the air with martial arts and achieving Martial Immortal status.

Bu Jing’s approach was correct. Viewing the human body as the universe, with the Dantian as its root, and expanding it to the point where the body becomes like the world, would lead to Martial Immortal status.

Broadly speaking, martial arts are also a form of cultivating immortality; achieving immortality is also possible through martial arts.

A cultivator at the Fusion Stage can travel the universe, a cultivator at the Tribulation Stage can manipulate the stars at will, indestructible through all calamities. Naturally, immortals above the Tribulation Stage are even more powerful.

Only two kinds of beings in the world fear nothing: the world itself, and the immortal.

Immortals, in a sense, are the world itself.

Therefore, according to Bu Jing, the warrior’s body is equivalent to the world; this is the true path to becoming a martial

immortal. “Don’t think I can’t hear you just because you’re whispering.” Jiang Li interrupted the communication channel between Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin, his voice muffled and startling Bai Hongtu.

“We’re all not immortals, so you dare say Bu Jing’s thinking is right?”

Bai Hongtu hesitated.

…

After several days of deliberation, the black market grew increasingly anxious. They wanted other martial arts manuals, but no aphrodisiac vendors appeared.

The Bu family had only distributed two universal martial arts manuals. Anyone could enter, with no barriers to entry, but mastering them was much more difficult.

“Don’t wait, look what this is!” Someone secretly called a close friend together, pulled out a book, and showed it off.

“Is this a book about erotica?! Where did you get this?”

“What are you thinking? Is all you have on your mind is yellow paint? Look carefully, this book contains new martial arts secrets!”

“Really!” The friend leaned over and examined it very carefully. “This martial art says it can’t break the primordial yang, but it can be practiced ten times faster than an ordinary person. It’s called… Tongzi Gong?!”

Everyone looked confused. You wrote about how to practice Tongzi Gong in a book like this? It’s too depressing.

“Where did you get it?” the friend asked curiously, “Did the black market vendor change from selling aphrodisiacs to selling pornographic books?”

“Not in the black market, I found it secretly in the corner of a bookstore, and I found more than one. I asked the bookstore owner where the books came from, and the bookstore owner said that they were imported from the Bu family in Buwu City!”

“Is that the Bu family that rose to prominence a hundred years ago?”

“It’s that Bu family. The bookstore owner didn’t realize that there were martial arts secrets hidden in it. He thought it was an unhealthy book, so he bought it.”

“When you were buying the medicine, do you remember what the vendor said, saying that their ancestor lived for three hundred years.”

“Although I have never bought medicine, I have heard of it.”

“I also heard it when I was buying medicine for a friend. Are you saying that person might be in the Bu family?”

“It’s hard to say, hard to say. It’s hard to say now. It’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not.”

“You said there are more than one?”

Everyone held a copy and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

“So there’s more than just boy’s kung fu. Mine is called ‘Chaos Creation Art.'”

“Mine is called ‘Reincarnation Destruction Art.'”

“Shh—what a domineering name.”

“Aside from the contents of the martial arts manual, the writing is quite good.”

“Really?”

…

“I wonder who this Qingyu teacher is, to be able to write such a touching article.” The young lady secretly finished reading a book and wiped away tears. “And the article also describes in detail how Master Powang cultivated. It’s truly an unconventional approach, very different from the martial arts manuals of the Heavenly Kings.”

“I heard this book came from the Bu family. Could it be that Qingyu teacher is from the Bu family?”

…

Similar scenes played out around the world. People naturally believed the Twelve Heavenly Kings’ words, but they only took a glance. We know martial arts manuals are harmful, so we definitely don’t practice them.

It seemed as if overnight, bookstores were selling the masterpieces of a certain Bu family author.

Of course, this wouldn’t be possible with the current world. Jiang Li’s covert intervention contributed to this.

And the Qi officials weren’t too idle to check if bookstores were selling romance novels.

“Look, my point is spot on. If we want people to accept it, we have to start from this aspect. The results are obvious and very successful.”

Yu Yin and Bai Hongtu both looked at Jiang Li with strange eyes, as if they had just met him for the first time.

We knew about his success, but we didn’t know that you, Jiang Li, were also a great writer.

And a writer who writes books like this.

I admire you.

Jiang Liquan pretended not to notice. He turned to Bu Jing and said, “The news of the book’s escape from the Bu family has spread throughout the world. Are you prepared to make it public?”

Bu Jing nodded steadily.

Qi officials finally realized that too many martial arts manuals were circulating among the people. These manuals, not issued by the Heavenly King, were considered banned.

Few practiced them, but many possessed them.

The world lacked books on physiology, and Jiang Li’s plagiarism satisfied the market. Even people with no interest in martial arts manuals still wanted to buy a copy.

The court’s order to surrender the books had little effect; no one did.

Anyone who handed in the books was considered guilty of buying aphrodisiacs or unhealthy books. They felt ashamed.

The court then changed its strategy, declaring these manuals evil, that practicing them could lead to infatuation and murder, and that they must be destroyed.

People hesitated and secretly destroyed them, but some still persisted. Since it could lead to infatuation, why not just not practice them? Why destroy them?

Moreover, this was an imperial decree, not one sent by the Heavenly Kings in a dream.

People preferred to trust the Heavenly Kings of the upper realms rather than the Qi court.

Half a month later, earth-shattering news broke from the Bu family, shocking the world.

The Bu family possessed a three-hundred-year-old demon.
