Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Immortal Weapon Gathering

. After Jiang Li’s heartfelt persuasion, the Luban Sect’s leader and three elders, all with the arrogance of the wise, held themselves in high esteem and forgave the fools of the outside world.

Relocating the sect because of a grudge against a bunch of old fogies? Only a fool would do that.

The four reached a consensus, deciding to abandon the relocation and remain in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

“It’s settled,” Jiang Li said to Yu Yin.

“You’re such a liar.”

“How can you call it liar? Honestly, did I tell you half a lie?” Jiang Li glared.

“I have no conscience,” Yu Yin said expressionlessly, choking Jiang Li.

“I feel like I’ve forgotten something.” With some free time, Jiang Li felt like he needed to do something.

“Oh, I remember. I didn’t tell Ji Zhi about the Luban Sect.” Jiang Li slapped his head. Ji Zhi was probably still busy revising the marriage law.

Jiang Li flew towards the Great Zhou.

Originally, Jiang Li could have simply used the Telecommunication Talisman to speak to Ji Zhi, but Jiang Li still wanted to learn the Way of Time from Ji Zhi, so he went to the Great Zhou himself.

What if he could finally master it this time?

Yu Yin looked up, gazing at the Tianhuang Halberd, far off in the horizon.

Sold to the Crown Prince at a young age in exchange for wealth and glory, Yu Yin disdained her family.

The Crown Prince, at the time, didn’t consider her a fiancée, but rather a tool and plaything for the Human Emperor.

Raised in this environment, Yu Yin was a quiet, withdrawn individual, her eyes cold and heartless.

She longed for companionship, but her roles as Crown Princess and now Empress had doomed her to a life of isolation and friendlessness. If it weren’t for Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, two optimistic individuals, she might not have had a single friend.

Yu Yin felt pity for the Tianhuang Halberd, thinking it had been abandoned by its owner, helpless and desolate, perhaps weeping alone in a corner. It was a pitiful sight.

Yu Yin wanted to take Jiang Li’s place in the Tianhuang Ji’s care.

She soared over the Kyushu Continent, arriving at the center of the Great Array of Protective Realms.

“Come on, play as you please! This is my territory, no one’s watching!” the Tianhuang Ji shouted.

Nine celestial dancers, gracefully swaying with graceful steps, danced like orchids in a colorful dance.

Hundreds of singing girls struck chimes, their voices melodious and beautiful, the sound of the bells lingering.

“I just like Tianhuang’s forthright character. Confucianism is so tedious and annoying.” The great scholar twisted his body, dancing to the music, tearing himself apart to the very covering.

Both the dancers and the singing girls were conjured by him.

The Four Seas Dragon Pearl and the other mountain stone clash in laughter, sparks flying.

“Ha, in a contest of hardness, none of the four of you can beat me,” the other mountain stone laughed. “

Brother Shitou, be gentle! We four can’t take a beating!” The Four Seas Dragon Pearl cried out in pain, then, forgetting their lesson, they collided again, the atmosphere filled with merriment.

Several immortal artifacts and the strange warriors from outside the Dao were having endless fun playing.

Yu Yin felt that the scene was a little different from what she had imagined.

“Ruyi, you’re here, let’s play together!” Tianhuang Ji invited Yu Yin and Ruyi Hulu upon their arrival.

“We immortal artifacts and Tianhuang Ji occasionally get together,” Ruyi Hulu explained quietly.

…

Jiang Li arrived in Da Zhou and found Ji Zhi arguing fiercely with several ministers.

“What’s wrong with the concept of employing people? What’s wrong with it? If people are the main body of marriage, doesn’t that prevent spiritual treasures from getting married?” Ji Zhi roared, slamming the documents on the table, and the memorials on it jumped up in shock.

“Humans are human beings. Your Majesty only employs people. How can demons and monsters get married in Da Zhou? Aren’t they also citizens of Da Zhou?”

Da Zhou is not only populated by humans. There are also occasional demons and monsters, but they are rare.

“Who says humans are just the human race? Humans, demons, and spirits all fall under the ‘human’ category. Is the Human Emperor the emperor of the human race? Aren’t demons and spirits also under the Human Emperor’s jurisdiction? Ask Jiang Li what he means by the word ‘human’ in ‘Human Emperor’?”

“Your Majesty, you…”

“You…”

The two sides were arguing so loudly that it threatened to lift the roof off the house, frightening Jiang Li. Those who knew were revising the law, while those who didn’t would have thought it was a pre-battle confrontation between two armies.

“Excuse me, the Luban Sect has agreed not to move to the Great Zhou. There’s no need to argue so fiercely,” Jiang Li said, appearing.

“This has nothing to do with the Luban Sect! And we’re not arguing!” Ji Zhi shouted at the top of his lungs.

“That’s right, it has nothing to do with the Luban Sect. This is a matter of the rigor of the law. Even Your Majesty cannot arbitrarily expand the concept!” Several veteran ministers refused to give in. They had studied the law their entire lives and held immense authority, unafraid of Ji Zhi.

“Jiang Li, what is the concept of a human being?”

As the Human Emperor, Jiang Li had his own interpretation of “human.” He protected not just humanity, but all sentient beings in the Nine Provinces: humans, demons, spirits, and spiritual treasures.

Jiang Li’s management of the Bai Ze Dynasty, and Commander Liu’s rise to leadership despite being a spirit, clearly illustrate this point.

He believed that anything with intelligence other than “immortal” status could be considered human.

“I have something else to do, you guys go ahead.” This group could argue for a month over a single concept, and Jiang Li didn’t want to get involved.

Jiang Li found Ji Kongkong and saw her transforming into a white fish, practicing the Way of Time. Her sister was teaching her.

“Uncle Jiang,” the second princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty quickly saluted upon seeing Jiang Li.

“I remember your name is Ji Huayu?”

“Yes.” Ji Huayu was thrilled to see that the Human Emperor Jiang remembered her name.

“Are you studying the Way of Time? Go ahead, I’ll watch from here for a while,” Jiang Li said cheerfully.

Ji Kongkong originally wanted to transform into a human form, put on clothes and meet Uncle Jiang, but after hearing what Uncle Jiang said, she changed her mind and continued to practice the way of time.

Ji Huayu also worked hard to teach Ji Kongkong.

“Those who practice the Dao of Time can see through the past and present, knowing everything. However, the time of the past and future that can be seen is inseparable from cultivation and talent. For example, Father, as his cultivation continues to improve, can already see things that happened 280 years ago. However, he can only see about a month into the future. Seeing the future is much more difficult than seeing the past.”

“Kongkong, you should have some understanding of this. You can see things that happened nine hours ago, but you can only see three minutes into the future.”

“Moreover, seeing the past and the future can only be considered a small achievement in the Dao of Time. Ancestor Shun once said that the time of the heavens and myriad worlds manifests in an independent space. There is the long river of time. It is a space, but it is not an ordinary space. Being able to travel to the long river of time can be considered a small achievement in the Dao of Time.”

“But you’re still young, and the River of Time is too far away for you. Generally, entering the River of Time requires a mantra. I’ll teach you the mantra later.”

Ji Kongkong leaped from the water and landed in Jiang Li’s palm, boasting, “I feel like I’ve grasped the secrets of the River of Time. Second sister, don’t you think so?”

Ji Kongkong and Jiang Li’s figures gradually faded, losing their presence until they vanished.

Ji Huayu stared at the scene in disbelief.

Ji Kongkong had taken Uncle Jiang to the River of Time!?

She didn’t even know the mantra!
