Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 211

Chapter 211 Jiang Li’s Battle to Break Through the Tribulation Stage

. “Saintess.” The elders and disciples bowed respectfully upon seeing the Saintess of Pure Heart.

Judging by her cultivation and reputation, Saintess of Pure Heart could have long since become the headmaster. In reality, all matters, big and small, of the Mortal Pure Land were handled by Saintess of Pure Heart.

The only difference between Saintess of Pure Heart and headmaster was a mere title.

When Jiang Li wasn’t involved, Saintess of Pure Heart was a qualified, calm and steady leader.

“What is this…” Saintess of Pure Heart was puzzled upon seeing the open peach tree barrier. She had never seen a fairy tree use such magic.

Through the overlapping pink peach petals, she vaguely discerned Jiang Li and the Grandmaster.

“Emperor Jiang Ren wished to challenge the Grandmaster. Their fighting power was too formidable, so the fairy tree opened its barrier to protect us,” the elder explained.

This elder was a beautiful woman, weathered by time, her youthful beauty fading. A beauty mark adorned the corner of her mouth, and her every frown and smile held a unique charm. She would have many admirers out there.

However, she was only mediocre in the Red Dust Pure Land.

During their conversation, the barrier dissipated, revealing two figures.

“The body and soul haven’t yet perfectly aligned. Try to use as little force as possible until they do,” Jiang Li advised.

The fight wasn’t long, nor was it intense, but Fairy Hongchen began panting, clearly out of sorts.

“Oh,” Fairy Hongchen said aggrievedly, knowing Jiang Li was doing it for her own good.

“If you want to go out and play, I can accompany you,” Jiang Li suggested.

“No, I need to adjust quickly,” Fairy Hongchen declined.

Jiang Li could only express regret. It wasn’t that he wanted to accompany Fairy Hongchen, but rather that he wanted to use Fairy Hongchen as a cover to go out and play himself.

“It seems you’re still better than our Grandmaster?” The Saintess of the Pure Heart smiled and handed Fairy Hongchen a gourd filled with spring water that would strengthen the mind and soothe the soul. From their expressions, it was easy to guess who would win and who would lose.

Fairy Hongchen threw back her head and gulped down the liquid, completely losing her feminine reserve.

Jiang Li’s mouth twitched. “Don’t you teach fairies etiquette?”

Fairy Hongchen was a blank slate, learning whatever she was taught. If not, she’d just go wild and have fun.

Sometimes Jiang Li felt a slight incongruity when Fairy Hongchen, with her mature body, acted childishly.

“She won’t learn.” Saint Maiden Jingxin had diligently taught her master, but she simply wouldn’t learn. What could she do?

She couldn’t betray her master and slap him on the back of his hand for not learning. “

Grow up and everything will be fine,” Saint Maiden Jingxin could only console herself with.

“Why don’t we try fighting?” Saint Maiden Jingxin thought a fight would shorten the distance between them.

Jiang Li squinted at Saint Maiden Jingxin, wondering why her spiritual awareness was so unclear, unable to tell her own weight.

Seeing Jiang Li’s silence, Saint Maiden Jingxin took it as his agreement and produced the Twelve-Rank Azure Lotus.

It’s worth noting that this is her natal magical treasure, a telepathic connection, unaffected by the Red Dust Fairy’s beauty. Otherwise, any magical treasure that has developed intelligence would lose control upon seeing the Red Dust Fairy.

Back when the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal enlightened the world’s spiritual treasures, countless spiritual treasures in the Red Dust Pure Land were captivated by the Red Dust Fairy’s beauty. They, upon seeing the Red Dust Fairy’s beauty, were driven wildly, eager to serve and possess her. Fortunately, the Red Dust Fairy

awakened at that moment and suppressed the spiritual treasures, preventing a catastrophic incident.

A twelfth-grade blue lotus blossomed, emitting a deep blue light capable of silently dissolving all things.

This gentle power harbored a menacing potential; the slightest misstep would lead to defeat.

However, the opponent was only at the Fusion Stage.

Jiang Li twisted his right hand, unleashing the power of Yin and Yang, transforming this dissolving light into a purifying light that fosters growth and development, without any lethality.

This was the Yin-Yang principle Jiang Li had just learned from the Red Dust Fairy.

“That move of yours is quite powerful even for a Fusion Stage cultivator. Even Zhang Konghu might not be able to withstand it.”

Jiang Li saw that the Saintess of Pure Heart had reached the end of the Fusion Stage and possessed immense potential. All

she needed was one life-ordeal to break through her limits and reach the Tribulation Stage. He simply didn’t know what the opportunity would be, when

, or where it would appear. Perhaps it would never come in this lifetime.

Breaking through the Tribulation Stage required not only talent but also luck.

“It’s not enough. Not even close to what you were at the Fusion Stage.” The Saintess of Pure Heart wasn’t satisfied with her current status. She yearned to become even stronger, to reach the Tribulation Stage, to become an immortal, to reach the Mahayana Stage.

If Jiang Li reached the Immortal Realm, she would be able to catch up with him.

“You could tie two Tribulation Stage cultivators at the Fusion Stage!” The Saintess of Pure Heart didn’t believe she was at the Fusion Stage’s limit. Currently, she could only trade a dozen moves with a Tribulation Stage cultivator, far from Jiang Li’s achievements at the Fusion Stage.

“How can you compare to me?” Jiang Li spoke frankly.

“At that time, I carried the power of sentient beings’ will, barely managing to fight the two Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators. If I hadn’t later broken through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, I would have been the ultimate loser.”

When the Old Man Emperor died and Jiang Li had yet to ascend the throne, the Wu Kingdom’s Martial Emperor and the Qingtian Sect’s leader held a mortal feud. This long-standing grudge finally erupted into a fierce, unrelenting battle.

The Martial Emperor, relying on the nation’s good fortune, temporarily ascended to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, while the Qingtian Sect’s leader was himself a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator. This was the clash between the two Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators.

Unexpectedly, these two would engage in battle in Jiuzhou. Imagine the countless casualties; to say it was a bloodbath is an understatement.

An elderly mother clutched her son’s arm in agony, a child pushed against his mother’s body, a little girl cried out in the empty streets, “Grandpa, where are you?”…

Behind this battle lay the tragedies of life and death, a human tragedy.

To minimize casualties, Jiang Li, the only one in the Fusion Stage, tried to hold off the two until the other Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators dared to intervene. He had to hastily ascend the throne, employing the unfamiliar power of sentient beings’ will—the power of faith.

Because the succession ceremony hadn’t been properly performed, the power of faith couldn’t be used properly, and Jiang Li was nearly shattered by the unruly power of faith.

According to bystanders, Jiang Li’s entire body was red and swollen, and the meridians beneath his skin were clearly visible, as if he could explode at any moment. People cried and begged Jiang Li to leave quickly. They didn’t care if they died, but the immature Emperor shouldn’t perish in such a place. It wasn’t worth it.

The Human Emperor’s fate was to fight the extraterritorial demons on the battlefield, not within the human race.

People would rather be slain by these two bastards than see Jiang Li die here.

Jiang Li turned a deaf ear and fought with his life, but he was still no match for the two and was forced into a desperate situation.

It was under these circumstances that Jiang Li finally broke through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, turning the tide.

Seeing he could no longer defeat Jiang Li, the leader of the Qingtian Sect resorted to magical means, sacrificing the entire Qingtian Sect in blood to strengthen his own position. The Eternal Great Sect vanished, leaving only the disciples’ clothing on the ground.

Even then, he was no match for Jiang Li, and the two were ultimately slain.

However, setting this battle aside, Jiang Li, in his normal peak fusion form, could fight a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator for a hundred rounds, making him considerably stronger than the Pure Heart Saintess.

However, Jiang Li’s strength lay not in his magical power, but in his tactics, his understanding and application of magic, and his ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

For example, Jiang Li could create new spells to suit his needs during battle, prompting Bai Hongtu to exclaim, “You’re my brother!”

This kind of thing cannot be taught; it can only be mastered through intuition.
