Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 251

Chapter 251 Returning from Study

“Is it time traveling back?” Li Nian’er muttered to herself, quickly ruling out this speculation. If time had traveled back five hundred years, she wouldn’t be here, and Uncle Jiang wouldn’t be sitting there with nothing to do.

“Haunted?” Li Nian’er shuddered at the absurd thought. As Li Er’s daughter, she naturally knew that there were no ghosts in Jiuzhou.

But knowing is one thing, but when faced with something incomprehensible, one still can’t help but feel that there are ghosts in this world.

“No, no, no, I can’t think like that. I’m a cultivator. I have to present facts and use logic. There are no ghosts in Jiuzhou.” Li Nian’er encouraged herself, but her confidence was a little lacking.

“Did Uncle Jiang and I travel to another world, or is the old village chief playing me?” Li Nian’er’s mind was full of ideas, and she recalled the novels she had read, such as “The Lover Who Traveled Through Time” and “Go Back to the Past and Say I Love You”, all written by the e*otic teacher, but in the end she didn’t come to any useful conclusions.

“You two probably can’t leave here. Ever since my grandson ran away, the evil dragon has stepped up its surveillance of the village. No one passing through here can escape.” The old village chief looked at the uncle and nephew with pity.

“This place is nearly ten miles from the cold pond. The evil dragon’s consciousness can reach here. Could it have reached the Spiritual Transformation stage?” Li Nian’er was astonished. It was hard to imagine that such a remote place could support such a highly gifted demon beast.

Sixty years to advance from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritual Transformation stage is already an incredible talent.

As far as Li Nian’er knew, even Uncle Jiang, who was standing next to him, took a full six years to advance from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritual Transformation stage.

This evil dragon has one-tenth of Uncle Jiang’s talent!

Jiang Li felt that this girl had her mother’s appearance and her father’s intelligence.

“I don’t know whether it’s a spirit or not. I only know that the evil dragon has recruited several young men from the village as his minions to spy on us. The evil dragon gave them some benefits, allowing them to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training. They’re now rampant and unstoppable in the village.”

“How could someone so cruel and heartless exist?” Li Nian’er frowned.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside: the sound of gongs and drums mingled with the sounds of quarrels.

“Give us back the children!”

“Three months ago, the evil dragon devoured two people. Why is it still devouring people now?”

“Why does Lord Dragon need your consent to act? Let go, get out of here!”

“You beasts, aiding and abetting the evil, have you any humanity at all?”

“Humanity? I hope that thing can help your children escape Lord Dragon’s jaws.”

The old village chief knew this scene all too well, storming out of the house.

“What are you doing, you bastards!”

Outside, several young men tied up two children, marching out of the village, beating gongs and drums. The children’s parents and villagers tried to stop them, but they were no match for the ninth-level Qi training masters and could only let the children be taken away.

The two children cried terrified, their parents’ hearts breaking.

“Master Jiao sent us a message saying he’s just finished retreating and wants a good meal, a tender child to satisfy his hunger.”

“You!”

“Old Village Chief, I urge you to stay out of this, lest Master Jiao target you next. Who knows, he might even want a change of pace and a bit of chewier meat?”

Several young men laughed, dismissing the old village chief.

They were all at the ninth level of Qi training, and the old village chief, weak and nearing his end, posed no threat.

“You beasts!” Li Nian’er frowned.

“Bitch, I’ve been keeping an eye on you two outsiders. I was planning to wait until Master Jiao had finished feasting on these two children before sending you over next time. Since you’re courting death, you can’t blame anyone else!” The young men were furious and tried to tie up Li Nian’er and Jiang Li.

But how could they be a match for Li Nian’er? She subdued them with a single blow.

“Here, take the children home.” Li Nian’er untied the two children and let their parents take them home.

“You’ll incur the wrath of Lord Jiao by doing this, bringing disaster upon the entire village!” The leading young man was horrified by Li Nian’er’s actions.

If Lord Jiao displeased them, the village and their men would perish.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. The air suddenly became heavy, as if a huge stone were pressing down on everyone’s chest, making it difficult to breathe.

In the distance, a dark shadow leaped from the cold pond, a terrifying sight.

The shadow approached with lightning speed, reaching the village entrance in a few breaths.

The shadow resembled a snake, its body emerald green, but its scales were more undulating than a snake’s. Its front claws, like eagle claws, were powerful and sturdy.

A true dragon has the power to move clouds and rain, and this dragon was fortunate enough to share a trace of that ability.

The evil dragon opened its bloody mouth, threatening to devour the entire village.

The villagers, panicked, knelt and begged for mercy.

“It doesn’t even have a dragon horn. It’s a wild poisonous dragon in the Nascent Soul stage.” Li Nian’er sneered, removing the pendant and revealing the dragon’s horn.

Li Nian’er, possessing half true dragon blood, possessed a natural dominance over dragons, not to mention being a Nascent Soul cultivator and a member of the Dharmakaya Sect. In terms of combat power, she doubted she could meet a match at the Nascent Soul stage.

The dragon’s only challenge was its poison pill, but with caution, it would be fine.

Li Nian’er attempted to slay the dragon, but someone else got there first.

“Evil dragon, stop your arrogance!” A spirited young man descended from the sky and engaged the dragon.

This unexpected young man was also a Nascent Soul cultivator!

“That’s my little grandson, A-Tong!” The old village chief was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected his grandson to achieve such success in his cultivation that he would return at a crucial moment.

A-Tong, possessing a wealth of skills, fought the dragon, gradually gaining the upper hand. Eventually, A-Tong tore the dragon apart, extracted the poison pill, and returned victorious.

A-Tong’s attack sent the young man’s head flying off.

“Atong, is that you?” The old village chief’s hands were shaking, tears streaming down his face, and he thought he was dreaming.

“Grandpa, I’m back.” Atong chuckled, scratching his head embarrassedly.

“Good boy, it’s not too late, not at all.” The old village chief couldn’t stop crying.

Atong turned around and thanked Li Nian’er and Jiang Li.

Seeing the evil dragon’s head being surrendered and Atong’s return, the villagers held a big banquet to celebrate the day. As the center of the party, Atong was constantly entertained.

Li Nian’er and Jiang Li received invitations and sat at the old village chief’s table.

Li Nian’er frowned. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

“Atong, tell me where you went after leaving the village?” The old village chief smiled and touched Atong’s head. Atong looked very happy, and he didn’t look like the Nascent Soul cultivator who had just killed decisively and fought bloody battles.

“After leaving the village, I traveled around, looking for a solution to the village’s problems, but I couldn’t find a good way out.”

“One day, I accidentally entered a secret realm and obtained the skill “One Thought Changes the World”. This is a skill that can make you immortal. It is related to the Way of Illusion and is really powerful.” “

Unfortunately, the rules of that secret realm are very special. Only those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage can leave.”

“I constantly honed myself in the secret realm, learned the Way of Illusion, and practiced “One Thought Changes the World”. Finally, I practiced to the Nascent Soul stage and could leave the secret realm.”

“I was afraid that the evil dragon would eat people again, so I ran all the way and finally rushed back to the village. Fortunately, I arrived not too late and did not cause a big disaster.”

Atong said this and breathed a sigh of relief.
