Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 208

Chapter 208 A person will experience four deaths in his life

Jiang Li once recalled a passage from his past life:

A person will die three times in their lifetime.

The first death is when your heart stops and your breathing ceases, and you are biologically declared dead.

The second death is when you are buried, and the people attending your funeral declare you no longer exist in society, quietly passing away.

The third death is when the last person in the world who remembers you forgets you, and then you are truly dead. The entire universe will no longer have anything to do with you.

Jiang Li thought this statement made sense at the time, but now, with a new understanding, he decided to add a sentence.

The fourth death is when everyone in the world remembers you and your childish behavior.

Yunbo, damn it!

Transmigrating from the technological world of the previous life to the fairy-like atmosphere of Jiuzhou, it’s inevitable to have some fantasies, such as imagining yourself as the supreme ruler of Jiuzhou, invincible, everyone submitting to you, raising your arm and having everyone respond, glaring at your enemies with a fierce stare… In short, the most outrageous ones.

Although these fantasies have now become reality, even surpassing them—for example, back then, I didn’t dare to think too much and only imagined reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but now I’m already in the Mahayana Stage, above the Tribulation

Crossing Stage—the problem isn’t the content, but the voice.

It’s so embarrassing.

I hid this novel under my bed, under the third brick from the left, making it hard to find. I was in such a hurry when I left the Huayun Sect that I forgot to take the book. Later, after experiencing so many exciting things in Jiuzhou, I gradually forgot about this skill.

If it weren’t for today’s auction, Jiang Li would have forgotten he’d ever written such a novel.

Fortunately, the novel is written in the language of his past life and only has a few thousand words, making it impossible for others to decipher it even if they tried.

Otherwise, Jiang Li would have planned to leave Jiuzhou and escape the zombie world.

Jiang Li now felt like thanking the system. Fortunately, the auction mission had been created, allowing him to hide his naive past.

“This sponsor… Fellow Daoist, what are you doing…” The old man presiding over the auction looked at Jiang Li hesitantly, confused by his reaction and even standing up.

“Nothing much. I’ve long admired the mighty and extraordinary Jiang Renhuang. Today, I’m overjoyed to see something he left behind. The thought of it makes me unable to control myself, and I stand up to express my joy.” Jiang Li quickly regained his composure and calmly sat down.

Jiang Li didn’t want to reveal his identity. Even if others didn’t know it was a chuunibyou novel, he knew it.

Revealing his identity and then brazenly taking away his own chuunibyou novel… Jiang Li’s sense of shame wouldn’t allow him to do that.

“Your Dao heart isn’t strong enough yet.” Jiang Li felt a sense of relief again.

The Ruyi Gourd was odd. Could this master have such a high frequency of enlightenment? Two at a single auction.

Many Jiang Renhuangs were flocking to Jiuzhou, some even more exaggerated than Jiang Li. The auctioneer didn’t dwell on it and continued to preside over the auction.

Seeing that many people in the audience questioned the origin of the book, the old man explained: “It is true that this book has not been recorded in any official history or unofficial history, and the text in the book is unprecedented, so it is called the Heavenly Book. The Chamber of Commerce invited many monks who studied the Human Emperor to appraise it, and they came to the same conclusion that this book was indeed written by the Human Emperor Jiang.”

The old man said bluntly: “It is a pity that this book has only a few thousand words. The number of words is too small to decipher the meaning of unfamiliar texts. I am afraid that only by finding other similar works can we figure out what the Human Emperor Jiang wrote.” “

Of course, if the person who auctioned this book has all the connections and can meet the Human Emperor Jiang, perhaps he can find out by asking.”

Hearing this, Ruyi Gourd asked curiously: “What’s written in this book?”

Jiang Li said nothing, stared at Ruyi Gourd quietly, and told it a story.

“Once upon a time, seven gourd spirits became spirits and recognized a mortal as their grandfather. Curiously, they asked, ‘Grandpa, where did we come from?’ Grandpa smiled and said, ‘You are as curious as your parents. Your parents asked the same question.’ The gourd spirits then asked, ‘But we’ve never seen our parents.’ Grandpa smiled again and said, ‘Yes, where are your parents?'”

“No one has seen these seven gourd spirits since then, and other gourd spirits have appeared around Grandpa.”

Ruyi Gourd felt a chill upon hearing this and quickly quenched its curiosity.

“If that’s the case, this is also a calligraphy work by Emperor Jiang Ren. Starting price: five thousand high-grade spirit stones.”

Wang Bian and Dean Meng were eager to bid; they were determined to acquire this treasure today.

“Eight thousand…” Wang Bian barely managed to shout before a louder voice drowned him out.

“Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones,” Jiang Li shouted out the shocking price in an unquestionable tone. Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones

—that’s enough to buy three or four manuals for transcending tribulations and achieving immortality.

Where did this nouveau riche come from? Does he have a spirit stone mine at home?

Wang Bian only had fifty thousand spirit stones, which immediately blocked his path.

Dean Meng was even more prepared, scraping together sixty thousand high-grade spirit stones. He assumed Jiang Li was just trying to get ahead of the game, appearing to have plenty of money, but in reality, he only had fifty thousand. So

Dean Meng made his offer: “Fifty-one thousand…”

“One hundred thousand.” Jiang Li doubled it.

He had to buy this book; not even an immortal could stop him.

Jiang Li’s offer was outrageous. The well-prepared Wang Bian was defeated immediately after confronting Dean Meng, leaving him with no chance of winning.

The old auctioneer was ecstatic. He didn’t know where this wealthy sponsor had come from, but he didn’t even blink. The one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones far exceeded the Chamber of Commerce’s expectations.

“One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones once.”

“One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones twice.”

“One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones three times.”

The old man banged his hammer: “Deal. Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for obtaining the Human Emperor’s Heavenly Book.”

Jiang Li felt no joy at receiving the Human Emperor’s Heavenly Book, which everyone desired.

The first thing Jiang Li did when he got the book was to stuff it into a box and seal it tightly. Not even a True Immortal could open it. Then he put another box outside the box and sealed it tightly again. He repeated this three times before Jiang Li put the box, or rather the chest, into the storage ring.

“I feel relieved.” Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

“Would you like me to arrange for guards to protect your safety?” The old auctioneer asked considerately. Originally, the Chamber of Commerce did not have this service, but considering that this was a big client, he specially added this service.

Jiang Li refused.

The security of the Tianyuan Dynasty had always reassured Jiang Li. Just a few steps after leaving the auction, a group of people surrounded him with menacing and hostile expressions. There were

both noble families who felt embarrassed and bandits who took the opportunity to rob.

Jiang Li sneered. It was you guys that I was waiting for.

Jiang Li acted decisively and taught these people a painful lesson. They were so injured that they had to stay in bed for three months, and even the pills could not heal them.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission]
