Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Never Heard of Jiang Renhuang

Renhuang. The Ruan family story is deeply moving, but there’s a crucial flaw.

It’s not Jiang Li’s use of a longsword to fight ghosts, but the existence of the evil spirit Ruan.

There are no ghosts in Jiuzhou.

There are many folk legends about ghosts, such as the seventh day of the seventh month, the Zhongyuan Festival, burning paper, and the unending love between humans and ghosts. Even some great monks believe in these legends. Although they have never seen a ghost, it is precisely because of this that they find the invisible ghosts terrifying.

Jiang Li, however, is well aware that ghosts do not exist in Jiuzhou.

He once asked the Immortal Eternal, Xumi Buddha, and Brahma Tower, and they all came to the same conclusion:

Ghosts are in the underworld, and there are no ghosts in Jiuzhou.

According to Xumi Buddha, the methods of the underworld are incredibly sophisticated, almost to the level of the laws of heaven and earth. After death, the soul leaves the body and is instantly transported to the underworld.

This process is unnoticed by anyone, not even Xumi Buddha and Brahma Tower, who are experts in the ways of space, and even less so by Jiang Li.

The same is true for the process of the underworld sending people to reincarnate, which is imperceptible to others.

The process of the soul going to the underworld was passed down from the mouth of the great immortal world, relayed by the immortal Changcun, and many immortal notes also confirmed this.

The immortal Changcun said that the underworld does not use the way of space, but the way of life and death reincarnation. Almost only people in the underworld know this way. Even the great immortal world knows very little about it. Only a few immortals know it.

No one in Jiuzhou knows it.

If there is any place in the world that may be connected to the immortal world, it must be the legendary underworld.

Unfortunately, the underworld is even more mysterious than the immortal world, and only a few words have been passed down.

There is probably only one way for Jiang Li to go to the underworld, and that is to die once.

No matter how much Jiang Li wants to go to the immortal world, he will not give up his life.

[Issued task: Congratulations to the host for becoming a Yuanying cultivator and having a say in Jiuzhou. After breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, your consciousness expanded drastically, temporarily overwhelmed by your body, and you fell into a coma. You were picked up by villagers from the northern border of Changgu Kingdom. Passing by a cold pond, a man-eating dragon emerged from the pond. This dragon, which takes human sacrifices, is worshipped year-round. Terrified, the villagers fled, leaving you unconscious. You opened your eyes and stared into the dragon’s eyes.

[Please defeat this mid-Nascent Soul dragon.]

[This mission is forfeitable.]

[Mission Reward: A copy of the Hundred Poisons Sutra, a piece of Dragon Blood Wood, and a Hidden Talisman.]

“A man-eating dragon, taking human sacrifices?”

Jiang Li noticed the system’s description of the cold pond dragon.

Given this description, it’s likely this dragon has consumed many, causing endless harm.

A demonic beast eating humans doesn’t necessarily mean it’s learned the magic path; it could also be because it finds humans tasty.

Demonic beasts have longer lifespans than humans, with a Nascent Soul dragon living for approximately seven or eight hundred years.

“Judging from the time, this dragon might still be alive.”

Jiang Li was worried and wanted to visit Changgu Kingdom to check on the situation.

Following the system’s instructions, Jiang Li arrived in the northern border of Changgu Kingdom and found a village near a cold pond. He was surprised to see someone he knew.

“Nian’er, why are you here?”

“Uncle Jiang.” Li Nian’er was also surprised to see Jiang Li.

“It’s all because of my unreliable father. On our wedding anniversary, he actually went to the Yunshui Secret Realm to seek the Painting Immortal’s Divine Mind. Mom was furious when she found out.” “

I came out to avoid the spotlight and happened to pass by here. I heard about a dragon that eats people. If it’s true, I want to kill the evil dragon on behalf of the West Sea True Dragon.”

Li Nian’er is half West Sea True Dragon.

“That dragon is still alive?” Jiang Li was surprised. He came here just in case, but he didn’t expect it to be alive.

“Uncle Jiang, have you heard of this evil dragon?”

“Nothing, go on.”

“I heard from the villagers that it’s very cunning. It usually hides in the deepest part of the cold pond and never comes out. It’s been over a hundred years now.”

“Over a hundred years? That’s quite interesting.”

If Jiang Li had said the dragon had been wreaking havoc for over five hundred years, he could understand, but if you said over a hundred years… A

trembling old man walked out of the village. “You two are guests. Why not come and stay with us?”

Jiang Li could tell that this old man was the strongest in the village, at the ninth level of Qi training. Unfortunately, he was nearing his end and didn’t have long to live.

After talking with the old man, he learned that he was the village chief.

“I heard that there is a dragon in the nearby Cold Pond. Can you tell me about it in detail?”

“This matter is a long time ago. Our village is close to the Cold Pond, so it is called the Cold Pond Village. People like to wash their bodies with the water from the Cold Pond, which can strengthen their bodies. About one hundred and ten years ago, a giant python came from somewhere and lurked in the Cold Pond. Someone went to the Cold Pond to fetch water and was swallowed by the giant python. You can even see the person’s face through the snake’s belly.”

Li Nian’er imagined this scene and was a little scared.

“The giant python spoke in human language, saying no one was allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. It also demanded that we offer a man and a woman every year. If we didn’t comply, the entire village would be slaughtered!”

“We also asked the monks to come and resolve this matter, but the monks were all devoured by the python. The python, enraged, came to the village and ate more than a dozen people before calming its rage. Since then, we haven’t dared to think of it again.”

“Fifty years later, the giant python transformed into a dragon and continues to hover in the cold pond to this day.”

Snakes have two paths of cultivation: one cultivates in snake form, and the other transforms from a snake into a dragon and then into a dragon.

Transforming into a dragon means reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

“I wonder how my little grandson is doing now, and how his cultivation is going,” the old village chief sighed.

“Where is your grandson now?” Li Nian’er asked curiously.

“I don’t know. He sneaked out of the village when the evil dragon wasn’t paying attention, saying that only by becoming a powerful cultivator could he kill the evil dragon.”

“Why didn’t he ask others for help?” Li Nian’er couldn’t understand her grandson’s thoughts. Instead of cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage by herself, wouldn’t it be faster to find a Nascent Soul stage cultivator for help?

“Young lady, you’re such a joke! That’s a Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast. How could we possibly ask a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to help us kill the evil dragon for no reason?”

“He could ask the Human Emperor Palace for help. They’d definitely not ignore this, especially Uncle Jiang, oh no, Emperor Jiang.”

“Emperor Jiang? Who?” the village chief was astonished.

“You haven’t heard of Emperor Jiang?” Li Nian’er was even more surprised than the village chief.

“No.”

“Then which Emperor have you heard of?”

“Emperor Lu.”

Jiang Li’s predecessor was Emperor Lu, a respected elder.

“Then do you know what year this is?”

“4305 of the Yanli calendar.”

“Isn’t that five hundred years ago?” Li Nian’er couldn’t comprehend the current situation and begged Jiang Li for help.

“You’re a member of the Dharmakaya Sect. You need to learn to solve problems on your own. If you don’t use your brain every day, you’ll become as clumsy as your father.”

Jiang Li shook his head. Why do young people these days always love to ask for help? When he was still in the Nascent Soul Stage, he solved problems independently and never asked for help.

Li Nian’er was frightened and quickly thought about what the problem was.
