Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Nine-turn Immortal Pill

Beyond the State of Qi lies a boundless ocean, upon which lies a nameless island, unknown even to seasoned fishermen.

The island is too far from Qi for fishermen to venture there. The space on the nameless island distorts, and six men, each with aloof expressions and distinguished demeanor, step out of the secret realm.   ”The outside world is filthy, truly unbearable,” King Luantian frowned. They wouldn’t come to the lower realm unless it was a special occasion. The lack of spiritual energy in the lower realm was unpleasant for those accustomed to the spiritually rich secret realm.   ”And the power of faith is lower now than it was two months ago,” King Yetian complained. While the decrease wasn’t significant, it was enough to indicate that the people were beginning to doubt them.   This was a bad omen, and it must be nipped in the bud.   ”It’s said that Bu Jing circulated the old martial arts manuals on the black market a month ago. If I had come to the lower realm a month ago, this trouble wouldn’t have happened.” Night King regretted it. Just a month later, if he had attacked the Bu family a month ago, he wouldn’t have had to mobilize half the Heavenly Kings today. His descendants were incompetent, escalating the situation, bringing shame upon himself, the ancestor.   ”Let’s resolve this matter as soon as possible!” Chaos King said coldly. “Begin to use the power of faith.”   The six Heavenly Kings absorbed the power of faith from the Universal World into their bodies, increasing their strength to the extreme.   ”According to the envoy, our current state can be called half-step fusion.” Chaos King felt the power and gently pushed out with his palm. The wind and clouds suddenly changed color, and the calm sea surface surged with huge waves.   ”Is this the power of half-step fusion? It’s truly powerful. It’s a pity that this method can’t increase lifespan.”   The six Heavenly Kings were very satisfied with their current strength.   They only deployed six Heavenly Kings because, fueled by the power of faith, they could reach a half-step fusion state. If twelve Heavenly Kings were deployed, the power of faith would be evenly distributed, and they would barely reach peak Divine Transformation.   Six half-step fusions were naturally more effective than twelve peak Divine Transformation masters.   They flew close to the ocean’s surface, creating a cascade of water. A whale, surfacing for air and spouting water, appeared before the six. With a single wave of his hand, Chaos Heavenly King bisected the whale, its blood spreading across a small area of the sea.   ”How dare a mere whale-like salamander block the path of a Heavenly King?”   The Heavenly Kings, like aloft gods, looked down upon the human world.   ”This is Buwu City. I really miss him,” a Heavenly King said with a smile. “Uncle Buwu, the leader of the martial arts world, was once a figure I could only dream of.   Looking back, I think my perspective back then was too narrow.” “Buwu? A mere mindless warrior. It’s a shame he gave the Bu family’s immortality to the incompetent Budong. I could only watch him vanish before my eyes,” Night Heavenly King lamented. “It’s said that this is an immortal talisman that can transport you to other worlds. If I could obtain it, perhaps I could leave this world and travel elsewhere, spreading the fame of the Twelve Heavenly Kings!”   Even at the Divine Transformation stage, he would be a powerful figure in that world.   ”What a shame!”   The six Heavenly Kings emanated a terrifying aura, and the people of Buwu City felt as if they were on the verge of death.   Realizing that the Heavenly Kings had arrived in Buwu City, the people knelt and bowed before the towering, godlike figures overhead, their praises unceasing.   The six Heavenly Kings were pleased with the people’s attitude. If even the people of Yuantou Buwu City treated them this way, it meant fewer people were suspicious of them than they had imagined.   ”Where is the traitor Bu Jing?”   Bu Jing and the six top human beings stood on the city wall, looking solemnly at the aggressive Heavenly Kings without saying a word.   Their hearts sank. The Heavenly Kings had arrived too quickly. They had originally needed several more days for the court to receive the news, which would have allowed them to break through the outer scene and fight.   They hadn’t expected the Heavenly Kings to arrive now.   They had arrived too quickly.   ”As a remnant of the old warriors, yet you’ve survived until now, you must have drunk blood, dug out your heart, and sucked your marrow from your bones, practicing the evil martial arts of the old times to survive!”   ”Instead of hiding in the cellar, avoiding the light of day and eking out a cowardly existence, you dared to disobey the Heavenly King’s decree and spread rumors and secret manuals of the old martial arts. You are truly audacious and reckless!”   ”There are six other supreme beings in the human world who not only refuse to obey Heaven’s will and pledge allegiance to the court, but also dare to commit treason and collude with the traitor Bu Jing, aiding and abetting the evil. Your crimes are unforgivable!”   ”Today, we have descended from the upper realms to slay you traitors and serve as a warning to others!”   ”I, Qingming, greet the six Heavenly Kings.” The Qingming Tower Master hastily distanced himself from the matter. “I am the court’s undercover agent. The Heavenly King’s will is Heaven’s will. I obey Heaven’s will and pledge allegiance to the court. I was the one who informed His Majesty of Bu Jing and the others!”   ”Qingming, you bastard!” The six men glared at the Qingming Tower Master.   They hadn’t expected a traitor to appear among them!   ”Then why are you on the other side?” Luan Tian Wang coldly demanded. He drew his spear and, without giving the Qingming Tower Master a chance to defend himself, pierced his head, pinning him to the city wall.   This was, of course, an excuse: the Qingming Tower Master had learned of the “Shangqing Huangting Outer Scenery Sutra,” something he shouldn’t have known. He couldn’t be allowed to live.   The remaining six felt threatened. The six Heavenly Kings were even more powerful than Bu Jing had described. Even if they broke through the Outer Scenery, they would have a hard time surviving, let alone at the peak of their powers. They   were doomed!   ”Huang Luan Tian, Qi Bai Ye, and the other four! I never thought the so-called Twelve Heavenly Kings were actually a bunch of bastards like you!” Bu Jing soared into the air, gritting her teeth as she glared at the hideous faces of the six Heavenly Kings.   Over three hundred years ago, the Twelve Heavenly Kings, believing they still had some conscience, used flames to obscure their faces during their killing sprees, obscuring their appearances.   Bu Jing had always assumed the Twelve Heavenly Kings were extraterrestrials like Jiang Li. After all, it was impossible for twelve masters beyond the peak of the human realm to suddenly appear out of nowhere.   Bu Jing hadn’t expected that he knew all six of them!   ”As fellow Twenty-Four Young Masters of the Wulin World, I’m ashamed of you!” The aged Bu Jing trembled as he looked at the six youthful-looking Heavenly Kings.   Three hundred years ago, the martial arts world flourished, and a group of gifted young men emerged, known as the Twenty-Four Young Masters. Because of his status and talent, Bu Jing was ranked first among the Twenty-Four.   Bu Jing couldn’t connect the dots between the Twenty-Four Young Masters, all innate warriors over three hundred years ago, and the unattainable Heavenly Kings. Bu Jing   had no idea that there were elixirs that could forcibly elevate a person’s cultivation.

For example, Jiang Li possessed a Nine-Transformation Pill, a elixir that

could instantly render him immortal. Initially, Jiang Li figured that going through the Immortal Tribulation was boring, so he might as well find something to do. So, while going through it, he engaged in a number of activities, including: intercepting a portion of the tribulation’s energy, playing rock-paper-scissors in front of a mirror, gathering three people to play poker by transforming into the Three Pure Ones, gathering four people to play mahjong by scattering beans into soldiers, and

even broadcasting the tribulation live via a telecom talisman. Yu Yin commented on Jiang Li’s actions, saying that if the tribulation didn’t kill him, it was a sign of good self-control.

Afterward, Jiang Li gave the tribulation energy to Su Wei, the head of the Alchemy Peak. Overjoyed, he poured all his knowledge into refining a Nine-Transformation Pill.

This kind of tribulation energy is only found in true Immortal Tribulation. Tribulations like the one created by the Ruyi Gourd, which utilizes rules, only have power, not energy to be harvested.

Otherwise, Su Wei would have undoubtedly partnered with the Ruyi Gourd to mass-produce the Nine-Transformation Pill.

Unfortunately, although this pill can help one achieve immortality, without the support of immortal energy, the body will collapse and die. This is why, despite its merits, no one dares to take the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. Otherwise, Jiang Li would definitely let Ji Zhi take it, allowing him to become immortal and transport himself to the river of time.

Jiang Li constantly used the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill to scare Bai Hongtu, saying, “If you keep talking nonsense, I will stuff the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill into your mouth and poison you to death.

” Bai Hongtu always said, “I know I’m wrong, but I won’t dare to do it again next time.”
