Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Duye Envoy

“The King of Chaos is right. Without the correct method, it’s truly difficult to open the secret realm.” Bai Hongtu circled on the nameless island.

“To open the secret realm, you need to sacrifice three hundred strong men on a full-moon night. Their blood and flesh serve as the key, and you must draw the correct symbol. Only the King of Heaven knows this symbol.”

Jiang Li looked up. The crescent moon was crescent, and the full moon night had just passed.

“But fortunately, I’m in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so these troublesome rules are useless to me.”

Bai Hongtu held the talisman between his fingers, and the talisman rustled without a breeze. Bai Hongtu’s entire demeanor changed, becoming ethereal and unfathomable. Combined with his earnest expression and handsome, refreshing features, he resembled the immortal in the poem “The immortal stroked my head, and I was granted eternal life. “

Very deceptive.

“What a fine Taoist…” Jiang Li sighed.

“It’s a pity he has a mouth,” Yu Yin interjected.

The two high-fived in celebration, demonstrating their mutual rapport.

The secret realm opened, and young women of all ages appeared before the three men.

The young women had never seen anyone other than the Heavenly Kings in the secret realm, and were very curious about the three men.

Especially Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin.

Bai Hongtu was suave and charming, while Yu Yin was pure and innocent, both of them were outstanding in appearance.

Jiang Li was actually quite handsome, but compared to Bai Hongtu, he was still inferior.

So every time Bai Hongtu was beaten by Jiang Li, he would comfort himself: Jiang Li must have a high level of cultivation, and he earned it with his face.

The three men ignored these women.

Jiang Li arrested the remaining six Heavenly Kings and arranged them neatly in a row.

“The six Heavenly Kings and Luan have been killed, and now it’s your turn.”

The six people trembled in fear. The power displayed by Jiang Li was completely beyond their comprehension.

“Sir, we are subordinates of the Supreme Envoy Duye. I believe you are acquainted with him. Perhaps you are also an emissary of the Venerable Shenzang…” One of them, named Shang Tianwang, sought a glimmer of hope, believing that only beings like the Supreme Envoy could freely travel between worlds.

“Venerable Shenzang? That’s a familiar name.” Jiang Li didn’t recognize the Supreme Envoy Duye, but he was familiar with the Venerable Shenzang. He was surprised to hear the name of the Venerable Shenzang mentioned by these people.

He had questioned the Bu Jing brothers, and both claimed there were only the Twelve Heavenly Kings. He didn’t know how the Twelve Heavenly Kings appeared, nor did he know if there was anyone behind them.

He suspected that the Supreme Envoy Duye was the one behind the Twelve Heavenly Kings, the “uninvited guest” mentioned in the system quest, a certain extraterritorial demon.

“I’m half a follower of the Shenzang Sect.” The Shenzang Sect’s initiation ritual was just one step away from completion, and Jiang Li felt that he was at least half a follower of the Venerable Shenzang.

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin exchanged a glance, each seeing the surprise in the other’s eyes.

Because the deputy leader of the Shenzang Sect caused the Tianyuan Dynasty to lose its capital and nine million lives, Yuyin was determined to investigate thoroughly.

Bai Hongtu had also investigated the circumstances surrounding the death of Xumi Buddha by Jiang Li.

Bai Hongtu and Yuyin’s investigations converged on the Shenzang Sect and Venerable Shenzang.

Of course, they hadn’t discovered that believing in Venerable Shenzang could gain merit by killing people.

However, Jiang Li had asked Immortal Changcun if believing in a deity could gain merit by killing people, and Bai Hongtu was present.

Bai Hongtu assumed the deity Jiang Li was referring to was Venerable Shenzang.

However, knowing Jiang Li’s concerns, the fewer people who knew about this, the better, so he kept it a secret.

Yuyin was puzzled as to how Venerable Shenzang from Jiuzhou could appear here.

Bai Hongtu, however, understood clearly that the Shenzang Sect wasn’t from Jiuzhou at all, but rather from the outer demons.

“So you’re one of Duye’s men. It seems I’ve inadvertently thwarted Duye’s plans,” Jiang Li said with a smile, as if he were an old acquaintance of Duye’s, even though he had only heard the name twenty seconds ago.

King Shangtian breathed a sigh of relief. Since he and the High Envoy were followers of the Divine Treasure, he could surely survive. Killing King Chaos and his companions simply stemmed from a lack of understanding.

This was understandable. Before such a powerful being, King Chaos and his companions were no more than mortals, easily crushed with a single finger.

Perhaps King Chaos’s unattractiveness displeased the High Envoy, prompting him to kill.

“What did Duye ask you to do?”

“Please advise the Envoy. The twelve of us were originally natives of this world. We possessed a certain talent and were spotted by High Envoy Duye.”

Bai Hongtu thought, “Some talent?” He must have thought you were a bunch of heartless beasts, willing to betray the world without a care in the world.

“The envoy said he was an envoy from the Venerable Shenzang, and had come here specifically to rescue us.”

“The envoy gave us an elixir, saying that taking it would allow us to attain the power of the Divine Transformation Realm. I asked the envoy what the Divine Transformation Realm was, and he simply said it was a realm in the cultivation system, allowing one to live for a thousand years.”

“Our world changes dynasties every two or three hundred years. For us, a thousand years is equivalent to witnessing the passing of three or four dynasties, which is already a lot.”

Jiang Li said that a dynasty change every two or three hundred years was similar to the ancient times of his previous life, and that a thousand years was enough to live from the Song Dynasty to the present day, which is plenty.

“The envoy told us that achieving the Divine Transformation Realm through the Fusion Realm is extremely difficult. For us, we can’t use ordinary methods, but must find a new way.”

“The envoy also said that the will of all living beings has infinite power, can defy common sense, and make the impossible possible.”

Jiang Li knew this. The power of faith is a typical manifestation of the will of all living beings, allowing all human emperors, except himself, to temporarily reach a level comparable to the extraterritorial demons.

If someone frequently uses the power of faith, they will be assimilated by it and become the true hope of all living beings.

This also demonstrates the infinite power of the will of all living things.

For example, if Luo Ying frequently used the power of faith, he would truly become the Shadow King Buddha of the zombie faith. That’s why Jiang Li didn’t want Luo Ying to use this method.

“Between life and death lies great terror, but also great will. The will of living beings in the midst of life and death is so strong that even they themselves are unaware of it.”

“So the High Envoy suggested we give all living beings a direction, that we become their faith. This way, we could unleash a catastrophe upon the world, prompting all living beings to pray to us before dying, hoping for our breakthrough to the Fusion Stage.”

Jiang Li frowned slightly. This was something he had never heard of, but it seemed plausible.

If High Envoy Duye was the Extraterritorial Demon, then perhaps this was why they didn’t destroy the world directly.

They feared something might emerge from the dying wills of living beings, hence their various indirect methods of destruction.

“Do you have any way of contacting Duye?”

King Shang Tian shook his head. “The High Envoy’s will is as high as the sky. How could we possibly be qualified to contact him? He said he would come to this world within a thousand years to witness our achievements.”

Jiang Li sneered inwardly. What witnessing achievements? It was clearly a plan to use you to kill the people of this world, and then come back to kill you.

What a pity! If he could lure out this Extraterritorial Demon named Duye, he could explore his true nature.

A terrestrial immortal-level outer demon lacks reason. This one named Du Ye should be a celestial immortal, perhaps the same demon that bewitched the old Buddha and planted foreshadowings throughout the Nine Provinces.

He had never fought a celestial immortal-level outer demon before, and he really wanted to give it a try.

Jiang Li flexed his fist, making a crackling sound, feeling a sense of regret.

“Do you also believe in Venerable Shenzang?”

Upon hearing this, King Shang Tian hurriedly said, “Our cultivation is low, how could we be worthy of knowing about Venerable Shenzang? We only know his name.”

A hope welled up in King Shang Tian. Since this great being asked this question, could he possibly be worthy of believing in Venerable Shenzang and becoming an emissary like Grand Envoy Du Ye?

The other five Heavenly Kings shared the same thought.

Because of their wishful thinking, they met a tragic end.

Seeing no further information to be gained, Yu Yin attacked and killed the six.

In Yu Yin’s True Phoenix Immortal Fire, the six died screaming in agony.

None of the Twelve Heavenly Kings are innocent. Three hundred years ago, they unleashed a bloodbath in the martial arts world, leaving countless innocent souls at the mercy of their subordinates. Even more so, if they had arrived a few years later, they would have unleashed a world-destroying catastrophe, leaving only one in ten people alive.

They deserve to die!
