Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Dao Zong has a talented walking

. The Red Dust Pure Land incident is over, and it’s unclear when the Red Dust Fairy will wake up. Jiang Li no longer stays in the Red Dust Pure Land, but instead instructs them to keep the Red Dust Fairy’s story a secret and never spread the news. Otherwise, with the Red Dust Fairy’s charm, who knows how much trouble she would cause.

He went to Dao Sect and asked the Sect Master for a Telecommunication Talisman.

“Huh? Every time I asked you for a Telecommunication Talisman, you always looked so distressed. Why are you so happy this time?” Jiang Li saw the Dao Sect Master’s smiling face and felt he had ill intentions.

The Dao Sect Master looked to be about the same age as Jiang Li, both young and in their prime.

With his hands behind his back, he said with a smile, “The Dao Sect has produced a gifted traveler. How can I

, as the Sect Master, not be delighted?” “For you to describe him as gifted, he must be a very remarkable young person. I wonder what kind of talent he is. If it’s not too much trouble, why not bring him here for us to see?” Jiang Li also piqued his interest. Witnessing the growth of a talented young person would give him, as the Protector of Jiuzhou, a sense of accomplishment.

The Dao Sect Master continued to smile, “It’s not too much trouble. You know him, too.”

“Oh, a young person I know?”

The Dao Sect Master’s smile faded, and he said seriously, “Zhang Li, as a Dao Sect traveler, why don’t you bow to me?”

Jiang Li’s smile froze.

Later, Dao Sect disciples described strange figures wailing in the sky above the sect, and faint roars of “Ji Zhi and I are irreconcilable.”

The Dao Sect Master quickly refuted the rumors, saying that there were either faint or indistinct shouts of “Ji Zhi and I are irreconcilable.”

Soon, the current Human Emperor issued a statement, urging everyone to refrain from spreading or believing rumors.

…

Jiang Li handed the remote communication talisman to Hongchen Pure Land, instructing them to inform him if Hongchen Fairy made any move.

Hongchen Pure Land naturally complied. Their Hongchen Patriarch was an immortal from the upper realm, her cultivation unfathomable. If she caused any trouble, Jiang Li would likely be the only one who could handle it.

Jiang Li returned to the Great Zhou not to trouble the Zhou Emperor, but to complete a mission assigned by the system.

Fortunately, this mission was simple. Yun Bo of the Huayun Sect was still alive, having taken the Longevity Pill, and could live another two hundred years. He also looked like a middle-aged man. Immortal cultivators

enjoy long lifespans, and their appearance changes not with age but with their state of mind.

For example, Jiang Li and the Dao Sect leader both appear youthful, reflecting a youthful state of mind, full of vitality, active thinking, and vigorous Qi and blood—a spiritual state most sought after by practitioners, yet few achieve it.

For example, the female cultivators of Hongchen Pure Land all possess the most beautiful appearance of their age.

For example, Yuan Wuxing, whose cultivation was average, had suffered setbacks in the martial arts world, shifting from impulsiveness to composure, hence his middle-aged appearance.

Another example is the deceased Jiang Yixing, whose devotion to survival gave him a strikingly aged appearance.

Jiang Li, under the pretext of visiting an old friend and seeking guidance on cultivation, engaged Yun Bo in a duel, completing the mission with ease.

[Congratulations to the host for defeating Yun Bo with wisdom and perseverance. Do you want to claim your reward?]

[Rewards for this mission: One opportunity for enlightenment, one high-grade spiritual weapon of any design (upgradable), and a fragment of a mysterious map.]

[Because the host defeated Yun Bo, who was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment at the ninth level of Qi Training,

this achievement of “Qi Training defeats Foundation Establishment” has been achieved.] Jiang Li was too lazy to complain about the nonsensical conclusion of the mission. If he had a fast-forward button, he would have skipped the conclusion.

“Rewards.”

Another surge of pure energy descended from the void, pouring into Jiang Li’s body.

This power was terrifying, enough to elevate a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Training to the Foundation Establishment stage.

A leaf fell, and Jiang Li blew on it, stripping away the power once more.

[Host, please select a top-grade spiritual weapon.]

“Swiss Army Knife.”

[…Not matched with “Swiss Army Knife.” Please select again.]

“AK47.”

[…Not matched with “AK47.” Please select again.]

“Tiger Tank.”

[…Not matched with “Tiger Tank.” Please select again.]

“Cleaning Knife.”

[…Not matched…Matched with the top-grade spiritual weapon “Bloody Bone-Chopping Knife.”]

The system instinctively replied, “Not matched.” It was only midway through that it realized it seemed to have found a matching spiritual weapon.

A kitchen knife, gleaming with a faint cold light, appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.

[“Bloody Bone-Chopping Knife,” a top-grade spiritual weapon. Bathed in abundant blood, drawing vitality from this blood, it can be upgraded to a mid-grade magical weapon.]

[Method for spiritual weapon recognition: Blood dripping to recognize the master.]

This wave of system rewards is quite generous. For cultivators who have just embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, top-grade spiritual weapons are extremely rare, sufficient for use until the late Jindan stage. Mid-grade magical weapons are even more remarkable, even used by some Divine Transformation cultivators.

For Jiang Li, who had just been infused with energy by the system to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this was a supreme weapon!

Oh, I’m in the Mahayana stage, so that’s all right.

Jiang Li looked at the system display: “Drawing vitality from blood, it can be upgraded to a mid-grade magical weapon.” “Blood dripping to recognize the master,” and fell into deep thought.

“Are you sure you can recognize the master by blood dripping?”

[Please do not doubt the professionalism of this system.]

Jiang Li understood and bit his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the surface of the kitchen knife.

The kitchen knife trembled continuously, emitting a visible light, its aura rising continuously. A top-grade spiritual weapon… a supreme spiritual weapon… a low-grade magical weapon… a mid-grade magical weapon… a top-grade explosion… With a   bang

, the kitchen knife, unable to withstand the vitality contained in Jiang Li’s single drop of blood, exploded.   ”…I told you not to accept the master through a drop of blood, and you still didn’t believe me. I called you a useless system, is that okay with that?”   The system pretended not to hear Jiang Li’s complaint.

[Host, please receive the map fragment.]

A fragment of the map, shimmering with golden light, appeared in Jiang Li’s hand. The golden light slowly faded, revealing the fragment.

Annoyed, Jiang Li blew away the golden light, revealing the fragment.

The fragment was palm-sized, made of sheepskin, and covered with a map with few markings.

[Qianyuan Secret Realm Map (1/3). Complete subsequent quests to obtain the remaining fragments.]

Jiang Li scratched his chin, pulled out a jade shard from his storage ring, and channeled his spiritual energy. The entire map of Jiuzhou appeared before him, detailing mountains, rivers, and cities.

He scanned the Jiuzhou map with his spiritual sense, comparing it with the fragment of the Qianyuan Secret Realm map. He quickly located the Qianyuan Secret Realm, located on a mountain in the Great Wei Empire.

[Congratulations, host, for stumbling upon the Qianyuan Secret Realm. The rewards for subsequent quests have been changed.]

Jiang Li, not sure if it was an illusion, heard a deep sense of frustration in the system notification.

[System Notice: Qianyuan Secret Realm is too dangerous for the host. Please wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage before exploring.]

Jiang Li immediately lost interest in the Qianyuan Secret Realm.

Danger and reward are equal. A secret realm that can be explored by those in the Nascent Soul stage, could it contain treasures that would excite those in the Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana stages?
