Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Walking in Ordinary Ways

“Sister, let’s have hot pot.” Yu Feng came to see Sister Wu Lian with two bottles of sesame paste and six blocks of fermented bean curd.

Sister Wu Lian was puzzled. She didn’t know why Yu Feng was in such a good mood, nor did she know why he bought so much sesame paste.

Yes, he saw that I was in a bad mood, so he pretended to be optimistic to keep me company. Sister Wu Lian felt warm in her heart: “Okay.”

“The pot is boiling, add the mutton.” The copper pot was bubbling, and Yu Feng put a plate of hand-cut mutton that stood upright in the pot.

Yu Feng was indeed in a good mood.

Before, he always thought that his greatest support was his ability to be reborn and know where the future would lead.

Now he felt that Jiang Li was his support.

Senior Jiang knew everything except falling in love.

“I’m afraid that these 100,000 people in Xuanji Country are in danger.” Sister Wu Lian was melancholy, but she had no good solution. This was the decision of the Blood River Patriarch.

Who can make a powerful person in the fusion stage change his mind?

“Perhaps the Blood River Patriarch has changed his mind. Let’s try some mutton.”

Senior Sister Wu Lian smiled helplessly. The younger brother was truly optimistic.

Unless another Fusion Stage cultivator persuaded him, this was impossible.

…

“Master of the Death Bell, I demand an explanation.” The Blood River Patriarch furiously confronted the Master of the Death Bell, demanding an explanation. This was a slap in his face.

“Believe it or not, I will report this to the Celestial Lord and accuse you of disregarding the Celestial Lord’s decree, openly killing a Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivator and shaking the nation’s destiny!”

The Immortal Dynasty hadn’t yet been established, and the nation’s destiny hadn’t yet been forged, but that didn’t stop the Blood River Patriarch from making accusations.

He was exaggerating the matter, trying to scare people first.

“I’m helping you, don’t be ungrateful.” The Death Bell Patriarch wasn’t polite either. They were both Fusion Stage cultivators, so who was afraid of whom? Let’s fight if we dared

. If the Celestial Lord hadn’t forbade fighting between Fusion Stage cultivators, the Blood River Patriarch would have fought the Death Bell Patriarch to the death.

The Bell Tower Master snorted coldly, “Shake the nation’s destiny? I should have said that.”

“The Celestial Lord only ordered you to gather mortals before the founding ceremony, but he didn’t ask you to use the Celestial Lord’s name and the Immortal Dynasty to demand mortals from the Xuanji Nation.”

“I…”

“What do you mean by “I”? Is this an order from your personal capacity?”

The Bell Tower Master was unyielding. “The Celestial Lord assigned you the position of Minister of Rites. Your every move reflects the Celestial Lord’s external instructions. You can’t do anything the Celestial Lord doesn’t order you to do, or you’ll be disobeying your superiors. Do you think this will affect the nation’s destiny?”

Anyone can make false accusations. The Bell Tower Master survived to this day thanks not only to his elusive assassination skills but also to his ability to make the unreasonable seem reasonable.

None of the Fusion Stage cultivators knew what national destiny was; they had only heard the Celestial Lord mention it a few times. They knew nothing about what

national destiny was, how it was formed, or what it could do. Even

if they asked the Celestial Lord, he wouldn’t be able to tell them.

They could only guess.

This has led to the current trend of blaming the fate of the nation for every problem. Unless they confront the Celestial Lord, there’s no telling what might affect it.

Yet, they worry that these minor incidents might displease the Celestial Lord, a loss that outweighs the benefits.

“Fortunately, this matter has little to do with you. It was your registered disciple, Ma Pingfan, who used your name to demand mortals from the Xuanji Kingdom. I see this man as a traitor and truly deserves death, so I’ve dealt with him for you.”

The Bell Tower Master offered a way out, sparing the Blood River Patriarch the humiliation.

“The traitor, Ma Pingfan, is a coward who exploits the power of others and truly deserves death. Thank you, Brother Dao, for your assistance.”

The Blood River Patriarch didn’t want to dwell on the death of a useless registered disciple. He left without a second thought after confronting the Celestial Lord.

…

Ma Pingfan’s death in the Xuanji Kingdom terrified the king so much that he considered hanging himself.

The Blood River Patriarch’s descendants, countless generations removed, had died here, seeking revenge and demanding 100,000 mortals. Now that his disciple had died here, wouldn’t that mean the entire Xuanji Kingdom would be sacrificed in blood?

Upon learning the truth, Yu Feng offered no comfort. Instead, he returned to the mountain village with his senior sister to visit his parents.

His parents were overjoyed to learn their son had found a path to immortality and such a beautiful wife, and that very day, they stewed a hen.

Senior Sister Wu Lian blushed and said no, but his parents smiled in silence.

Yu Feng, facing certain death, could not stay long. He gave his parents some longevity and health-enhancing elixirs and departed.

Passing on the immortal cultivation techniques to his parents now would be harmful to them. The waters of the Immortal Dynasty were too murky to enter.

Yu Feng planned to wait until he was truly powerful before bringing his parents to the Immortal Dynasty and teaching them the techniques.

Senior Sister Wu Lian noticed that Yu Feng’s eyes were red as he left.

A few days later, the king received word from the Blood River Patriarch, informing him that the 100,000 troops would not be needed for the time being, and he was overjoyed.

Seeing that the Blood River Patriarch hadn’t mentioned Ma Pingfan or attempted to tamper with him, the king heaved a sigh of relief and considered granting another general amnesty.

Yu Feng was only in the early Jindan stage, so no one would blame him for Ma Pingfan’s death.

The Blood River Patriarch suspected that Ma Pingfan had provoked a wealthy enemy and hired the Death Bell Tower to kill. He was more trouble than good, and he deserved his death.

Ma Pingfan’s name reflected his character; his life was ordinary, without even causing a stir.

…

Three years passed in a flash, the Immortal Dynasty had taken shape, and the countdown to the founding ceremony began.

All the immortal cultivators came to the Immortal Dynasty, either voluntarily or under duress.

The cultivators then discovered that there were not just one or two cultivators in the Fusion Stage on the Tonggu Continent, but six.

And the Fusion Stage wasn’t even the pinnacle; there was also the legendary Tribulation Stage.

But these were just rumors. What was the difference between the Fusion Stage and the Tribulation Stage? Could ordinary cultivators like them achieve Fusion Stage?

They didn’t even possess the techniques required for Fusion Stage cultivation.

The Immortal Dynasty destroyed all Fusion Stage techniques, citing potential dangers and making them unsuitable for cultivation within the dynasty. Furthermore, cultivators who mastered Fusion Stage techniques were no longer permitted to memorize or recite them, and violators were beheaded.

The cultivators felt they received no benefits from joining the Immortal Dynasty, only exploitation and threats.

For the past three years, Yu Feng’s greatest feeling was simply unlucky.

The increased density of cultivators led to more frequent mortal dangers. Walking down the street, he was targeted by volatile monsters, and shopping with his senior sister, he was spotted by lechers, who would provoke him into murderous pursuits.

Fortunately, his senior sister’s broad breasts comforted his young heart.

Each time Yu Feng secretly murdered someone, he felt traumatized and cried as he hugged his senior sister and Taoist partner, Wu Lian.

Even as their companions, Yu Feng still addressed Wu Lian as “senior sister.

” Jiang Li kindly contacted the Ma Zhuo couple to teach Yu Feng techniques and the art of dual cultivation.

Yu Feng blushed, quickly memorizing the techniques and practicing them at night.

Jiang Li, who insisted on not seeing or hearing anything indecent, would avoid the couple at night to give them privacy.

He truly had no advice on this matter.

Through the dual cultivation technique, their cultivation rapidly increased. Wu Lian reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, while Yu Feng successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

As the founding ceremony approached, the two were not happy.
