Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 253

Chapter 253 We are very familiar with Emperor Jiang

. Atong truly didn’t know Jiang Li. When he left the secret realm

, Jiang Li was only in the Nascent Soul stage, relatively unknown. Atong had been trapped in his own illusion, repeating the same story for five hundred years, oblivious to any changes in the outside world. Whether it was Jiang Li becoming the Human Emperor or completely defeating the extraterritorial demon, he hadn’t heard of it.

“That’s okay, it’s okay. Daoyou’ve been secluded for five hundred years, so it’s normal for you not to know me,”

Jiang Li reiterated, not at all embarrassed.

“Daoyou Jiang is right. Perhaps I should try to move on from the past.”

Atong stood up and, without using any magical powers, dug a grave with his physical strength

. He buried his grandfather, uncle, aunt, and other villagers, erected a tombstone, and engraved their names. Jiang Li’s few words were no panacea, no enlightenment; they simply gave Atong an opportunity to move on.

Atong hadn’t completely untangled his feelings, but he had taken the first step.

Atong thanked Jiang Li and Li Nian’er again.

“Tong Liu has nothing to offer in return. These are all items I obtained in the secret realm. Fellow Daoist Jiang, take whatever you like.”

Tong Liu held out some treasures and invited Jiang Li to accept them.

These were top-grade treasures, useful even to a cultivator at the Fusion Stage.

“No, no, Fellow Daoist Tong Liu, just keep them for yourself.”

“You’re welcome, Fellow Daoist Jiang.”

“I’m not being polite.”

The two of them sincerely tried to refuse, but Li Nian’er suddenly said, “Senior Tong, Uncle Jiang is the current Human Emperor, a Mahayana cultivator.”

“Ma-Mahayana?”

Jiang Li nodded politely.

Tong Liu felt awkward. He had thought Jiang Li was being polite, but he hadn’t expected Jiang Li to be two levels higher at the Mahayana stage, and a Human Emperor. No wonder he didn’t value his things.

“Young friend, how about giving these to you?” Tong Liu turned and changed his target.

Jiang Li interrupted, “Her father is Li Er of the Dharmakaya Sect, and her mother is the eldest princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace.”

“I-I see.”

Li Er’s name was like thunder in Tong Liu’s mind. Five hundred years ago, Li Er was a renowned cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Tong Liu also knew that the Four Seas Dragon Palaces were renowned for their vast territory and abundant resources, with the East Sea Dragon Palace being the richest, followed by the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Tong Liu thought for a moment, then pretended nothing had happened, clasped his hands, and left.

“He’s a good candidate for the position of commander, but unfortunately, he’s inexperienced and thin-skinned. He hasn’t seen the dangers of the world and needs to be tempered by the worldly life.” Jiang Li murmured softly as he watched Tong Liu leave.

Tong Liu’s loyalty and righteousness were strengths, but his mindset didn’t match his abilities, and he still had a lot of room to grow.

Jiang Li wanted to see what kind of person Tong Liu would eventually become before making any plans.

Commander Liu used a remote communication talisman to call Jiang Li.

“What’s the matter?”

“Palace Master, do you remember what day it is in seven days?” Commander Liu’s expression was serious.

“The sixth of the second month.”

Commander Liu looked at his Palace Master gloomily, his eyes filled with endless resentment. “…I’m not so senile that I can’t even count dates. Seven days from now will be the 300th anniversary of your ascension to the throne. According to regulations, a grand ceremony will be held, and the Nine Provinces will celebrate.”

Celebrating Jiang Li’s ascension to the throne is a symbol of peace, a celebration held every ten years. This 300th anniversary will be unprecedented in scale. All major factions will gather to celebrate, making it a rare and significant festival in the Nine Provinces, and everyone looks forward to it.

Most importantly, there will be a ten-day holiday.

Jiang Li smiled apologetically, “Just kidding. As a Mahayana cultivator, how could I not remember such a significant date?”

Commander Liu looked at his Palace Master silently. If you remember it, you will indeed remember it, but if you don’t…

“Since you remember it, I’m sure you’ve already written your speech.”

“Of course,” Jiang Li said stubbornly.

“Let me hear it.”

“On this beautiful autumn day, everyone is welcome. Enjoy yourselves.”

“That’s all?”

“Everyone, enjoy yourselves.”

Commander Liu sighed resignedly, knowing Jiang Li had completely forgotten about it. “Forget it, leave the speech to me.”

Zhang Konghu couldn’t be relied upon for this matter. His level of education was questionable, and his draft was disjointed and disjointed. Commander Mu loved to show off, so when he asked him to write a draft, it was filled with the air of a shrewd villain. Commander Huang had a gloomy personality, and his writing was depressing.

The best writers in the Human Emperor Palace were Ma Zhuo and his wife, after all, they had written the most books.

Even if Commander Liu were beaten to death, he wouldn’t let Ma Zhuo and his wife write.

Commander Liu didn’t expect Jiang Li to be of any use. He contacted Jiang Li to remind him not to wander around and forget to return to the Human Emperor Palace for the celebration in ten days.

Now it seemed that reminder was necessary.

Commander Liu stood up. He had more to do than just write a speech; he also had to set up the venue, arrange seating, performance venues, and so on.

Hanging up the communication talisman, Jiang Li felt that Commander Liu’s life was not easy, presiding over the Human Emperor Palace alone while the

real master was out on his own. Jiang Li, with his remaining conscience, decided to return to the Palace to help Commander Liu.

Li Nian’er suggested going with Jiang Li to the Palace, and Jiang Li readily agreed.

…

The Human Emperor Palace, located in the center of Jiuzhou, had a separate area designated as its territory. The Human Emperor Festival would be held around the Palace.

The area surrounding the Palace was already bustling with activity, with countless makeshift hotels, restaurants, stalls, shopping streets, and chamber of commerce showrooms rising from the ground. When the celebration ended and the crowds dispersed, the owners of the structures would dismantle them, leaving with a full load.

Besides those engaged in business, there were also those seeking publicity.

“Fellow Daoist, would you like to join us in Guan Dacheng Sect?” someone enthusiastically promoted his own sect, hoping to seize this opportunity to expand its influence.

“Guan Dacheng Sect? I remember you weren’t the senior brother of Guanxing Sect?” someone asked in confusion.

The senior brother’s expression was solemn: “Our Guanxing Sect’s purpose is to observe the orbits of the stars and perceive the changes in humanity. But stars can be shattered by cultivators in the Fusion Stage. How can such things reflect the truth of humanity?”

“The power of the stars has its limits, but the might of the Mahayana is infinite. We at Guanxing Sect have realized that the Mahayana stage is the root of the changes in humanity. We are hereby changing our sect’s name and correcting its history.”

“I see. What is the relationship between Guan Dacheng Sect and Emperor Jiang?”

The senior brother of Guanxing Sect whispered a secret: “We are very familiar with Emperor Jiang.”

Someone bystander exclaimed, “So there’s such a connection? I’m willing to join Guan Dacheng Sect.”

“Come, sign and stamp your fingerprints. From now on, you’re a member of our Guan Dacheng Sect.” The senior brother of Guan Dacheng Sect warmly welcomed the new disciple.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was tempted to join Guan Dacheng Sect.

Jiang Li, listening from the sidelines, couldn’t help but ask, “Is Emperor Jiang familiar with you?”

The crowd was so crowded, Jiang Li’s expression changed.

The senior brother of Guan Dacheng Sect waved his hand, “That’s hurtful. Does one-sided familiarity mean it’s not familiarity?”

The others, hearing this, couldn’t help but realize they’d been tricked, and they joined forces to drive the senior brother of Guan Dacheng Sect out.
