Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Exterior

“Don’t think I can’t see that you’ve all tried to practice the martial arts secrets I’ve passed down.”

“If the old warriors truly have short lifespans, only living to thirty, how do I explain this, and how do you? You’re both in your thirties. According to the Heavenly Kings, wouldn’t practicing the old martial arts secrets mean you’ll die?”

“You’ve noticed, too. Practicing the old martial arts not only doesn’t shorten your lifespan, but actually prolongs it! And it eliminates the bloodthirsty urge!”

“You’ve all had your doubts, but you just didn’t dare to voice them!”

Despite being at a disadvantage, Bu Jing kept talking. He wanted to clear the name of the old warriors. They weren’t what the Heavenly Kings said they were!

Bu Jing spoke loudly, so loud that the onlookers outside the city could hear clearly.

Everyone was shocked, especially Grandmasters Bai and Jiang, whose expressions were exaggerated.

“What! Even the most powerful in the world think there’s something wrong with the martial arts prescribed by the Heavenly Kings?” Grandmaster Bai shouted.

“What! The old martial arts can prolong life! And there’s no bloodlust!” cried the Grandmaster Jiang.

Seeing Ruyi Gourd trying to join in the fun, Yu Yin quickly blocked its mouth.

It’s common sense not to speak too loudly during combat, as it easily gives the opponent an opportunity to counterattack. But Bu Jing did just that, and the four opponents didn’t retaliate.

The Grandmasters had no idea, but as the most advanced warriors in the world, even without knowing what the old martial arts manuals looked like, they had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the one issued by the Heavenly King.

This was the intuition of top-tier warriors, and they instinctively felt that the martial arts manual they’d cultivated their entire lives was flawed.

But they dared not, and couldn’t, speak out.

They harbored the Emperor’s worms within them. If the Emperor sensed something was amiss, he could use them to control their bodies, and life and death would be a matter of a thought.

They consoled themselves by saying the Heavenly Kings weren’t lying, that practicing the old martial arts manuals shortened lifespans, and that the current manuals were improved.

However, this logic didn’t make sense. If the manuals were flawed, they could only be improved, not fixed. Simply not practicing would be enough. Why did the Heavenly King demand that everyone practice?

Due to the terrifying power of the Heavenly Kings, they could only feign ignorance.

“I have a way to deal with the worms in your bodies,” Bu Jing said calmly. “I have a secret method that can kill them silently.”

Bu Jing’s secret method was to ask Jiang Li for help.

The mortal masters of the imperial court widened their pupils slightly.

Even if they broke free from the worms’ control, they would still face the pressure of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

They were mere warriors; how could they possibly defeat the Heavenly Kings of the upper realm?

As far as they knew, the Emperor had a way to contact the Heavenly Kings, and they could descend to the mortal realm at any time. If the Heavenly Kings discovered their betrayal, they would surely die!

They engaged Bu Jing in close combat, whispering, “What will you do if the Heavenly Kings descend?”

With such a good opportunity, they would definitely not return. Bu Jing had wanted to say that.

But Jiang Li had instructed them not to alert the enemy. If the Heavenly Kings knew the three of them were waiting for them, they would surely not dare to come out and would become cowards.

“Break through the pinnacle of the human realm and reach the same realm as the Heavenly Kings.” Bu Jing’s voice remained even as he spoke, yet a sense of inherent dominance emanated from him.

“Nonsense,” the Qingming Tower Master shook his head.

“Don’t believe it?” Bu Jing smiled, took a step, and his seven hundred and twenty major orifices opened, emitting a faint glow like stars.

Bu Jing’s aura steadily rose, his inner and outer worlds merging, converging at his dantian. An unparalleled, powerful aura erupted from his massive form, seemingly shaking the very heavens and earth!

It was hard to imagine such immense power contained within such a diminutive frame!

“This is…” The peak of the human realm present all harbored an absurd thought, yet they hesitated to confirm it.

This was too unbelievable.

Bu Jing casually unleashed a punch, like an ancient bull, charging forward, blasting the mountain in half.

This was the ultimate human realm’s full-strength attack!

And this was just a casual blow from Bu Jing.

Bu Jing smiled and said, “Waijing, I named this realm Waijing.”

He could have broken through to the peak of the mortal realm at any moment, but he held off because he wanted to see what the current peak of the mortal realm thought of the Heavenly King.

It now seemed that they, too, were suspicious of the Heavenly King.

If that were the case, they were fellow travelers.

They held immense influence in the martial arts world. If he could convince them, more people would believe that there was something wrong with the Heavenly King’s martial arts manual and that the Heavenly King was an invader. Only

after becoming a Waijing warrior did Bu Jing truly realize the power of those above the peak. With such strength, it was no wonder his father was powerless against the Heavenly King. Bu Jing also lamented the vast gap between Waijing and the peak of the mortal realm. Once

he became a Waijing, all struggles became meaningless. The six of them stopped fighting.

“This is the ‘Shangqing Huangting Waijing Sutra,’ which can help you break through the peak of the mortal realm and achieve the Waijing.” Bu Jing pulled a book from his bosom. The cover read, “Shangqing Huangting Waijing Sutra,” in bold, iron-stroked, silver-stroked characters, with delicate and graceful tendons.

“Master Qingming, don’t you wish for longevity? Breaking through the Outer Realm could add another hundred years to your lifespan.”

“Fishing Hermit, don’t you desire martial arts secrets? I wonder if this ‘Shangqing Huangting Outer Realm Sutra’ would suit your taste?”

“Mr. Lan, after you break through the Outer Realm, I’ll tell you in detail about the heyday of the martial arts world three hundred years ago, how about that?”

Bu Jing turned to the three top-tier mortals in red robes and said, “That leaves seven Outer Realm warriors. While we may not be able to defeat the Heavenly King, we’ll be more than enough to protect ourselves. Three of you, do you want to live out the remaining years in peace, waiting for your fortieth birthday, or do you want to break through the Outer Realm and live another hundred years?”

Bu Jing was being conservative. How could an Outer Realm warrior only live a hundred years longer than the top-tier mortals? But Bu Jing had just broken through to this realm and didn’t know how long he could live, so based on experience, she said another hundred years.

Bu Jing’s offer was too tempting, and the three had no reason to refuse. They took the scripture, recognizing it as a supreme text capable of breaking through the Outer Realm, and bowed to Bu Jing.

The other three continued the scripture and bowed respectfully to Bu Jing.

The six people, completely convinced, shouted in unison, “We worship the Master of Martial Arts!”

Their voices were powerful and resounding, audible even to the distant onlookers.

Bu Jing truly deserved the title of Master of Martial Arts.

He was not only the first Outer Realm expert, but also the mentor of all subsequent Outer Realm experts!

The “Shangqing Huangting Outer Realm Scripture” isn’t strictly a martial arts manual, but rather an inspirational text that allows the ultimate mortals to break through to the Outer Realm. After breaking through to the Outer Realm, one can continue to cultivate their own martial arts secrets without any impact.

With time and continuous breakthroughs, Bu Jing could truly achieve the power described in the “Four Pillars of the Heaven-supporting Art,” where a single movement of his limbs could overturn rivers and seas, turning the world upside down.

Bu Jing’s ability to write the scripture naturally allowed him to easily break through to the Outer Realm, eliminating the need for intuition. However, these six weren’t ready to break through immediately after reading it.

They needed time for reflection and reflection.

Jiang Li, wielding his fingers as swords, unleashed his inner sword, silently slaying the three red-robed, ultimate mortals.

The poisonous insects posed no threat to Jiang Li, so naturally, he could dispatch these insects

, which were no match for the poisonous insects, with a single strike of his sword. Jiang Li didn’t know any other sword techniques, but he mastered the Heart Sword technique,

a technique that made him unparalleled in the sword art. Even Bai Hongtu and the Sword Master felt inferior to him. The three of them were shocked, feeling the pent-up anger in their chests vanish. They looked inward and found that it was the insects they hated that had vanished. They then met Bu Jing’s inscrutable smile and became even more respectful to her.

Bu Jing didn’t know the reason for the change in their attitudes, but it didn’t matter. It was always right to keep smiling.
