Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 263

Chapter 263 I said, you do

“Have you ever reached the Nascent Soul stage?”

“Yes, just before my two deaths, the first time.”

“How did you die?”

“I didn’t choose the right place. Two Spiritual Transformation cultivators were fighting, and I was accidentally hit. I had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, and before I could establish my foundation, I died in the aftermath. Next time, if I try a different place, I’ll be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage.”

Just like last time, Yu Feng arrived at the small town, starving and collapsing.

A kind old woman appeared again, helping Yu Feng up and offering him a steamed bun.

Yu Feng refused. A greedy little beggar offered to eat some buns, and the old woman beamed.

A black cat, attracted by the smell of meat, was grabbed by Yu Feng’s neck and led him into the town.

“That old witch is no good. She doesn’t run a bun shop, but a human meat shop. The buns are filled with human flesh!”

Thinking of this, Yu Feng’s face darkened. He would never forget that death experience.

Just because he ate a bun, he passed out. When he regained consciousness, he was stripped n*ked, bound, and thrown onto a chopping block.

There was another person beside him, who had arrived before him.

Like slaughtering a pig, the old woman stabbed the man in the neck, letting the steaming blood flow into a wooden barrel below. Then, she scalded the fur with boiling water and slit his belly open…

Yu Feng watched in despair as the man was cut into eight pieces. The old woman kindly approached him, knife in hand…

From then on, Yu Feng refused to eat anything given to him.

“I came here penniless, so my first priority was money,” Yu Feng explained, holding up a black cat.

“This black cat belongs to a wealthy lady, and it keeps going missing. She offered a generous reward, and whoever finds it gets a generous reward.”

The reward for finding the black cat was Yu Feng’s first source of funds.

Yu Feng pointed to an alley and said, “This town may seem peaceful, but it harbors a hidden danger. There’s a ring of human traffickers in this alley

. Don’t go near it, especially someone like me, dressed in rags. I’ll easily attract their attention. If I get close, someone will swoop out, cover my mouth and nose, and rip out my internal organs.” Yu Feng had died several times because of this.

He had reached the Nascent Soul stage in his cultivation, and his memory of the initial events was vague. Only when he passed through an alley did he remember that alleys are forbidden.

In his quest to raise his first batch of funds, Yu Feng had already faced two dangerous challenges: an old woman and human traffickers.

By returning the black cat to the eldest lady, Yu Feng received ten taels of silver as start-up capital.

“Come in. You look so shabby. I’ll have the servants change your clothes,” the eldest lady said, her tone slightly commanding.

Yu Feng firmly refused.

He knew the eldest lady was a kind person, but her servants were petty. If he entered the mansion, they would hold a grudge against him, plotting against him, and ultimately leave him dead outside, his body exposed in the wilderness.

Seeing Yu Feng’s lack of appreciation, the young lady snorted and turned back for home.

Yu Feng didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he found another black cat near the young lady’s house and carried it out.

After walking for a while, he threw the cat out with a curse, “Damn cat, you found the wrong one! I was so disappointed.”

The crowd in the shadows dissipated.

“Someone noticed I was bringing the black cat to the young lady’s house and tried to steal my money. I’ve been robbed several times.”

“They didn’t dare to spy near the young lady’s house and couldn’t see me and her dealings. So I pretended to have the wrong cat and didn’t get the money, to dissuade them.”

“Next, I can cultivate immortality,” Yu Feng said. Like a puppet, he dodged dozens of calamities and finally became a cultivator at the first level of Qi training.

Jiang Li, who had been watching, suddenly asked, “Are you willing to save your parents?”

Yu Feng didn’t answer .

“Are you willing to cultivate immortality?”

Yu Feng didn’t answer.

“Do you have a goal?”

Yu Feng still didn’t answer.

“You…”

“Stop talking! These questions are interesting, aren’t they?” Yu Feng, expressionless, suddenly roared. “Don’t I want to save them? But my parents’ death is inevitable. I’ve tried hundreds of times and failed. How can I save them?”

“I’m only fourteen and chronically malnourished. How can I fight hundreds of bandits?”

“What’s the point of cultivating immortality? Who would want to cultivate such a thing if it weren’t for survival?”

“If I don’t cultivate immortality, I’ll face even more calamities! When I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, calamities only come from those above the Foundation Establishment Stage. When I reach the Golden Core Stage, calamities only come from those above the Golden Core Stage.”

“If I don’t cultivate immortality, calamities are everywhere. Only cultivating immortality can reduce my mortality!”

“I used to yearn to cultivate immortality, but now, I just want to live.”

“Why do I face so many calamities? Why?”

“Is living so hard? Ah!”

Yu Feng broke down in tears, banging his head against the tree.

A fruit weighing a hundred pounds fell from the tree and landed on Yu Feng’s head.

Yu Feng was crushed to death.

Watching the surrounding scene recede, Jiang Li sighed softly. Poor child.

Commander Mu might be unlucky, but at least he always finds himself in peril. Yu Feng,

on the other hand, is always doomed to fail. Yu Feng’s experiences demonstrate that a single wrong move can lead to a violent end.

Yu Feng is the most unlucky person Jiang Li has ever met.

Just like the zombie world, Jiang Li cannot directly influence the Tonggu world.

Jiang Li once consulted Ji Zhi about the concept of time reversal and received a difficult-to-understand theory.

Ji Zhi cited Luo Ying’s experience as an example. If we rewind ten years, the river of time would show the same river water from ten years ago as it did from ten years later. Only the ten-year stretch of water would disappear, revealing the riverbed.

As time marched on, this section of river water would appear out of thin air. Only when the gap completely disappeared and connected with the river water ten years later would time return to normal.

During the period of the river’s disappearance, people from other worlds could not interfere with this world.

This theory defied common sense and the laws of physics, and Jiang Li struggled for a long time before finally grasping it.

If it were simply to complete the system’s mission, whether or not he could directly influence the Tonggu world wouldn’t matter much. Jiang Li wouldn’t even have to worry about Yu Feng; he could just wait in Jiuzhou.

As long as Yu Feng practiced diligently, he would eventually reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But Jiang Li’s thoughts went beyond the mission.

Witnessing his parents’ deaths with indifference, his expressionless face from beginning to end, like a walking corpse,

Yu Feng was on the verge of collapse.

Repeated deaths had completely robbed him of hope, and rebirth was a torment for him.

Jiang Li wanted to help this child.

…

Sunlight filtered through the paper window onto the boy’s face. His eyelids fluttered, and with great effort, he opened them.

“Who are you and what are you doing!”

“Get out! Outsiders are not welcome here!”

It was a familiar conversation, so familiar that it made Yu Feng feel nauseous.

“Are you willing to make some changes?” Jiang Li asked from the side.

Yu Feng nodded subconsciously, but he didn’t know what to do.

“I say, you do.”
