Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: The Domineering Mahayana Falls in Love with Me

“Fellow Daoist, my surname is Meng. I am the dean of the Great Zhou Imperial Academy. I enjoy collecting items belonging to Emperor Jiang. I wonder if you would be willing to part with this book and let me have it

.” “Although I may not be as wealthy as you, I have quite a collection of items belonging to Emperor Jiang. I see you admire him, so if you would part with them, all of my possessions would belong to you.” Only

after Jiang Li had lectured a group of disciples from aristocratic families did Dean Meng and Wang Bian arrive.

They had intended to rescue Jiang Li from danger, performing a favor and facilitating future transactions.

Who could have imagined that this unknown fellow Daoist was so formidable, perhaps a Divine Transformation cultivator?

“Fellow Daoist, I am Wang Bian, a Confucianist monk. If you would sell me this book, I can recommend you for the position of Confucian elder. How is that?”

Jiang Li refused to agree and immediately flew away.

“Fellow Daoist, if you’re not satisfied with the conditions, you can raise them again!” Dean Meng and Wang Bian shouted from behind. However, Jiang Li flew so fast that he disappeared in a flash, leaving them with regretful abandon.

[Mission Reward: Sword Technique ‘Parting the Clouds to Reveal the Sun’]

Jiang Li briefly flipped through the book. This was indeed a formidable sword technique. Mastered to perfection, it could split the clouds and mist with a single strike, revealing the sunlight.

Even Jiang Li needed a single thought to achieve this level of power.

A single strike was equivalent to Jiang Li’s single thought—incredibly impressive.

[Mission Reward: A Fusion Stage Cultivator’s Reflections]

On the yellowed paper was recorded a Fusion Stage cultivator’s reflections on his breakthrough from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage. Perhaps, in the system’s eyes, this was the perfect reward for Jiang Li, a late Golden Core cultivator.

“Well, it’s not bad, but there are a few minor errors.” Jiang Li wrote and revised the paper, correcting any erroneous interpretations, then wrote a “B” in the upper right corner with a red pen.

The fact that Jiang Li was rated a B-grade showed how extraordinary his understanding was.

As for the one hundred high-grade spirit stones awarded by the system… if it weren’t for the system reward, Jiang Li wouldn’t even bother picking them up if they dropped.

This was a mandatory task, and Jiang Li felt the system was trying to make things difficult for him. Defeating a group of aristocratic disciples? How could this end?

It was clear that there would be scenes of beating the younger against the older, and then the ancestors against the older, turning the entire family into an enemy.

Aristocratic disciples all had ancestors in the Spirit Transformation stage behind them. The system’s true intention was to make him an enemy of the Spirit Transformation stage, forcing him to grow rapidly under pressure.

This was a script written five hundred years ago.

“Hmm? To the west?” Jiang Li had been pondering the question when he realized he had unknowingly flown to the western tip of Jiuzhou, very close to the Red Dust Pure Land and Mount Xumi.

Wanting to check on the Red Dust Fairy, Jiang Li came to the Red Dust Pure Land.

“Excuse me for visiting,” Jiang Li called out in front of the protective formation.

The sect’s protective formation has an automatic repair function. A few years ago, when Taoist nun Xuan’ai rebelled, Jiang Li shattered it with a single blow. So much time had passed that it should have automatically repaired itself.

The gatekeeper disciple, upon seeing it was Jiang Renhuang and receiving orders from Sect Master Qingyu, blushed and joyfully let Jiang Li out.

“What are you reading?”

The Red Dust Pure Land was far from the mortal world, rarely visited, and gatekeeping was a sinecure.

Jiang Li noticed the gatekeeper holding a novel titled “The Tyrant Mahayana Falls in Love with Me.”

It was a book he had never seen before, and the author’s name wasn’t listed.

Jiang Li thought it might be a new work by Teacher Qingyu.

Teacher Qingyu’s books were so popular that they’d even been sold in the Red Dust Pure Land, Jiang Li sighed.

“A novel. Very popular there right now.”

“Where did you buy it? Who’s the author?”

“I don’t know. I just dozed off and suddenly found a book next to my bed.”

“Jiang Renhuang, welcome,” Sect Master Qingyu came out to greet him.

Despite having killed her former boyfriend, Jiang Li had also saved the Red Dust Pure Land, and despite having saved the Red Dust Pure Land, Sect Leader Qingyu’s attitude towards Jiang Li had become much gentler.

“Oh, you don’t have to welcome me. I’m not here to see you,”

Sect Leader Qingyu clenched her fists, resisting the urge to strike Jiang Li, mentally reassuring herself.

He was the Red Dust Pure Land’s benefactor, you must forgive him. He was the Red Dust Pure Land’s benefactor, you must forgive him…

Jiang Li deliberately said this to Sect Leader Qingyu, to spite her.

Jiang Li couldn’t stand Sect Leader Qingyu’s predatory behavior.

You’re eight hundred years old, and Wuzhi is only a dozen years old, yet you have the nerve to do this.

“You want to see Jingxin? Then wait a moment, she’ll be here soon,” Sect Leader Qingyu said with relief. She tried to think positively. If this foolish man had come to his senses and come to see her disciple, that would be wonderful.

Normally, Saint Jingxin would be the first to greet Jiang Li.

However, she wanted to present her best self to Jiang Li, so she was still dressing in front of the mirror in her boudoir.

“I’ve come to see Fairy Hongchen, to see how she’s doing lately, and whether she’s changed.”

Sect Leader Qingyu was powerless to help. After all, she couldn’t resist Fairy Hongchen’s allure and couldn’t bring Jiang Li with her.

She summoned a descendant of Fairy Hongchen, and had this disciple lead Jiang Li to the fairy peach tree.

After Jiang Li left, she visited Saintess Jingxin and informed her that Jiang Li had gone to see the Grandmaster.

When Jiang Li, led by his disciple, found Fairy Hongchen, she was swinging under the peach tree, making a melodious sound. Her two jade feet swayed back and forth, inviting her to play with them. Pink peach petals fluttered down, as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated in this scene.

Even the unromantic Jiang Li found the scene beautiful. He secretly sighed, truly the embodiment of the beauty of the Heavenly Dao, a charm unavoidable to those who pursued the Heavenly Dao.

But it didn’t cause him to lose his mind.

“Fairy, long time no see,” Jiang Li stepped forward to greet her.

Fairy Hongchen was also delighted to see Jiang Li. She plucked a peach from the tree and handed it to him.

“Here, eat it! It’s the best.”

A fairy peach was indeed a good thing. Consuming it could increase one’s cultivation and cleanse one’s meridians, without any side effects or residual waste. It was better than any panacea.

Jiang Li dared not accept it.

Who knew if this peach could make a man pregnant?

The fairy peach tree was a legitimate fairy tree. Anything associated with “fairy” couldn’t be considered with common sense.

“Fairy, you should enjoy it yourself… Oh, no, you shouldn’t eat it either.”

“It’s a pity this peach tree has difficulty developing intelligence and transforming. Otherwise, she might have achieved immortality the day she did.” Jiang Li stroked the bark of the peach tree.

The creatures of the Nine Provinces can be broadly divided into humans and demons. Willow tree spirits like Commander Liu are neither human nor demon, but rather spirits.

Spirits are naturally born and raised, naturally intelligent and graceful creatures. They cannot reproduce and do not constitute a “clan,” existing only individually.

Commander Liu’s true form is an old willow tree, nothing remarkable about it. It’s only because of its long lifespan that it has developed intelligence and a form.

This peach tree, however, is different. Its immortal nature is too strong. Allowing such an immortal to develop intelligence and a form would be too unnatural, something that Heaven would not tolerate.

Even the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal would struggle to enlighten it.
