Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 192

Chapter 192 The Fall of Qi

Thus, all Twelve Heavenly Kings were eliminated.

The Heavenly Kings probably hadn’t anticipated that, merely purportedly settling a stalemate from three hundred years ago, they would be completely wiped out in less than an hour.

Facing the women in the secret realm, Jiang Li sighed, “What a sin!”

“Give them some money, and let them either find a good match or live out their lives in loneliness.” Yu Yin had some experience with this. After she killed the old Tianyuan Emperor, the three thousand concubines he left behind had been a source of headaches for a while.

Unable to kill them or release them, Yu Yin gave them some spirit stones and left them to fend for themselves.

The women left behind by the Twelve Heavenly Kings faced the same dilemma.

Their innocence had been ruined, and the reputations of the Twelve Heavenly Kings were tarnished from that day forward.

To survive, these women had no choice but to hide their pasts.

“Finding a good match means marrying an honest man,” the Ruyi Gourd thought, assuming it understood Yu Yin’s meaning, and translated aloud.

Yu Yin smacked the foolish gourd.

“No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”

“Oh.”

“Leave these people to Bu Jing,” Bai Hongtu suggested, letting Bu Jing make the arrangements.

“Okay,” Jiang Li agreed.

These women were unaware of the outside world’s changes, nor did they know the true nature of the Heavenly Kings. They still believed them to be saviors. Therefore, after the six Heavenly Kings in the secret realm died, they remained wary of Jiang Li and the other two, even somewhat hostile.

This was due to their limited perspective, and Jiang Li couldn’t force anything.

In reality, it wasn’t just these women; the entire Universal World had only just begun to doubt the Heavenly Kings, and most also believed them to be saviors.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Kings wouldn’t have such a strong faith.

With the Heavenly Kings dead, people might think Jiang Li was the invader.

Although Jiang Li’s tone was gentle,

there were also other issues to consider: how the Qi court should handle the situation, how to maximize the promotion of the old martial arts secrets, and so on.

The death of the Twelve Heavenly Kings symbolized the end of the old era, and the beginning of a new era, everything was in chaos.

“But what does that have to do with us? That’s Bu Jing’s concern,” Jiang Li said flatly.

Jiang Li had no good solution to this situation. He became the Human Emperor because he cared about the Nine Provinces and was powerful enough, not because he was skilled in ruling.

Just as Jiang Li did not know the Way of Time, he also did not know how to govern.

The three of them led the women out of the secret realm and back to Buwu City.

By then, only a skeleton remained of the Night Sky King, devoid of any red flesh. Beneath the skeleton lay a mountain of flesh, thin as wings.

Lingchi.

Bu Jing stood by, knife in hand, speechless and expressionless.

The Night Sky King, in the Spiritual Transformation stage, possessed immense vitality. The flesh fragments were still gently wriggling and fusing.

However, the Night Sky King was not at this stage of revival. The wriggling and fusing of the flesh fragments was futile; they would soon lose their vitality.

The Night Sky King was completely dead.

Bu Jing’s expression finally relaxed, a change in tone.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, as if he were smiling, but his nose twitched, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Bu Dong did the same.

The two brothers knelt on the ground, weeping and laughing, completely disregarding their appearance.

The two men finally faced east and kowtowed three times, warning their parents’ spirits in heaven.

Only after they had vented their anger did Jiang Li land at the Bu residence.

After Jiang Li finished explaining the woman behind him, Bu Jing nodded gently, saying he would leave the matter to him.

Seeing Bu Jing’s composure, they realized he was the oldest person in the Huanyu World, more than a dozen generations removed from the present.

Just like the

Immortal Elder Changcun, who, even when not discussing the Red Dust Fairy, was reassuringly calm,

“We are not proficient in martial arts, so it’s difficult for us to guide you. You must forge your own path. Furthermore, we are not from this world and will not stay here. The future of the Huanyu World is yours to decide,” Jiang Li said before departing.

Bu Jing and Bu Dong expressed their gratitude to Jiang Li and the others.

The kindness shown by Jiang Li and the other two was greater than heaven to the two brothers, a gift of salvation. No words of gratitude or praise could ever be enough.

“Complete the martial arts system as soon as possible so we can meet again.”

“Yes.”

…

Bu Jing returned to the Bu family, and the first thing he announced was that the Bu family would be renamed the Bu family, regaining their original name.

“King of Qi…” Bu Jing gazed toward the Qi capital, hundreds of miles away, a sinister smile playing on his face.

The Heavenly King was the greatest obstacle to disseminating the true history of the people and the secrets of the ancient martial arts, and the Qi court was the second greatest obstacle.

Qi’s history had come to an end.

As the only Outer Realm warrior in the world, Bu Jing was unrivaled in the cosmic universe. Even if a later novice broke through the Outer Realm, they would still be no match for him.

He alone could transform this nation, surpassing the might of thousands of troops.

Even if the court mobilized its forces and the King of Qi had the Imperial Palace escort him, it would not prevent the King of Qi’s capitulation and the fall of Qi.

Unlike mortal armies, which suffered countless casualties and devastating human suffering, Outer Realm warriors participating in warfare truly minimized casualties. Bu Jing simply bypassed the army and the numerous Imperial Palace guards to capture the King of Qi.

Afterwards, Bu Jing announced to the world:

“The first four realms of the martial arts can be considered the inner realm, and the fifth realm is the outer realm. It is both a continuation of the original martial arts and a new beginning.”

“Inner realm, outer realm, we should choose ‘Jing’ as the name of the country.”

“The new country will be called Jing Kingdom!”

“Bu Dong will be King Jing!”

The Bu family head, or rather the Bu family head, was stunned for a moment after hearing the news.

How had the Bu family, a small, shadowy clan, become a royal family in just a month?

“So I’m the head of a royal family?”

the Bu family head pondered. It’s said that prominent figures often write memoirs in their later years. As the head of a royal family, he was certainly a prominent figure. How should he write about it then?

On a certain day, the family ran short of funds, and the other three aristocratic families in Buwu City squeezed out the Bu family.

A month later, the Bu family became a royal family, ruling the world.

“Hmm, that seems a bit simplistic,” the Bu family head scratched his head.

…

Jiang Li first used the system to transmit back to Jiuzhou, then had the Brahma Tower establish a temporary passage to bring Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin back.

Jiang Li took out the newly acquired fragment of the Immortal Ladder and placed it next to the fragment extracted from Luo Ying. The two fragments, so different in shape and seemingly incompatible at first, merged together,

forming a larger fragment of the Immortal Ladder.

This was beyond Jiang Li’s expectations. He had assumed that after collecting all the fragments of the Immortal Ladder, he would still need to find a way to fuse them together. He hadn’t expected the fragments to fuse naturally, without his intervention.

“So, it seems that the fragments of the Immortal Ladder come from two sources: one is given directly by the system, and the other is stripped from a specific person,” Jiang Li concluded.

“Where did you get these fragments?” Bai Hongtu was surprised. Everyone was doing the same thing, so how could you get them?

“I got them from completing a mission.”

“What mission?”

“A counterattack mission.”

Bai Hongtu chuckled. A counterattack mission? Who would believe that? You’re a Mahayana cultivator, who are you going to counterattack?
