Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: A Weak Secret World

“Look, that’s Qin Luan from Dingfeng Temple!” Everyone’s eyes focused on the fuming Song Ying. Finally, someone spotted Qin Luan, and judging by his tone, he seemed to be a somewhat renowned figure.

As for Jiang Li, he was unremarkable, seemingly unimportant, so he was ignored.

“I heard this man was adopted by the Dingfeng Temple master. When he was eight years old, his talent was tested, revealing he possessed a single lightning spiritual root. All the major sects offered him olive branches, but were rejected.” “

Everyone thought his talent was considerable, but without the support of a major sect, it would go to waste. Who would have thought he would rely on his comprehension and fortuitous encounters to surpass the disciples of all the major sects!”

Spiritual roots are divided into superior and inferior categories. The most superior are those of heaven and earth, followed by single spiritual roots, and the worst are those of the five elements.

Among single spiritual roots, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the most common. Mutated spiritual roots like wind and thunder are relatively rare. Mutated single spiritual roots are superior to ordinary spiritual roots. While not as good as heaven and earth spiritual roots, they are still the upper limit of single spiritual roots.

“Why are you pretending not to see me?” Song Ying put her hands on her hips and glared at Qin Luan angrily.

“If I hadn’t seen you, how could I have introduced you to Brother Kong?” Qin Luan said confidently, “I just don’t want to bother with you.”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Jiang Li asked, “Brother Qin, do you know who that person over there is?”

Qin Luan thought for a moment and said he didn’t remember. Song Ying, seeing that Jiang Li and Qin Luan had a good relationship and might be friends, answered for Qin Luan’s sake.

“That person is Li Litong, a true disciple of the Stone Dragon Sect. I heard that his aptitude and understanding were mediocre before, but since falling off the cliff, it’s like he’s suddenly enlightened. His cultivation has skyrocketed, going from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage in just six months. I fought him, and although I won easily, I think he’s hiding something and isn’t truly at his level.”

Jiang Li nodded, then signaled that the two could resume their argument.

Amidst their bickering, the mysterious secret realm finally opened.

The number of people allowed into the Mysterious Realm was fixed at 800. After all 800 disciples from various sects had entered, Jiang Li, the 801st, leisurely walked to the entrance.

Some thought this was some random cultivator trying to sneak in, only to discover that he had actually entered the Mysterious Realm, unexpelled from it.

Had they miscounted?

Upon entering, Jiang Li felt a repulsive force, like a three-year-old trying to push an elephant, unable to do so even with his full strength.

Soon, the Mysterious Realm seemed to realize it couldn’t expel this uninvited guest and simply gave up its futile efforts, concentrating its efforts on testing him.

Before Jiang Li’s eyes lay a stream of spiritual water, condensed from spiritual energy. A single sip of this water was equivalent to three months of Foundation Establishment cultivation. Nearby, a wooden harp played naturally, cranes dancing to the music. In the distance, celestial mountains drifted, creating a scene so ethereal that it made one reluctant to leave.

Jiang Li, captivated by the beauty, involuntarily walked over to the xylophone, cut it open, and gazed at the crane.

The crane, sensing danger, attempted to fly away, but Jiang Li forcibly grabbed it.

Soon, smoke rose from the stream, the aroma of meat wafting far into the distance.

A soft cry for help rang out from not far away, the voice a hint of a beautiful, delicate woman.

Jiang Li ignored it, concentrating on grilling.

The voice grew closer, finally reaching Jiang Li.

“Hero, help me!”

The stunning young woman was n*ked, her skirt likely torn from running, revealing her delicate features. Her delicate appearance was so pitiful it would inspire a man’s protective instincts.

Jiang Li was a respectable man, so he continued grilling.

The young woman was startled by Jiang Li’s demeanor, seemingly new to such a scene. But then, realizing that there were criminals chasing her, she quickly called out to Jiang Li for help.

“Hero, help me! A strong man is trying to molest me. If you can save Chun’er, I will give myself to you, and all my wealth will belong to you!”

The young woman named Chun’er bowed deeply, revealing a bust that was far superior to her peers.

What cultivator could withstand such a test?

Jiang Li withstood it.

He could tell at a glance that the young woman was only 28 years old, and her strength was only around the first or second level of Qi training. In Jiuzhou, such talent would be considered a first-level cripple.

To allow such a person to escape, her pursuers couldn’t be very powerful.

Sure enough, before Chun’er could say another word, her pursuers surged up from the foot of the mountain, surrounding her and Jiang Li with cruel smiles.

These men were slightly stronger than Chun’er, probably at the second and a half level of Qi training.

Qi training levels were originally divided into one to nine, with no half-level stage. But Jiang Li, seeing their pitiful cultivation, had given them an additional stage. Second

and a half level of Qi training—the mercy of the Human Emperor.

“Little girl, run! I’ll see how far you can get!” The leader grinned lewdly, and one could tell what he was thinking without even watching the next scene. “Today, I’ll die with your boyfriend!”

“No, no, I’m not your boyfriend!” Chun’er blushed.

Those people didn’t care about Chun’er’s reaction. At the boss’s command, Jiang Li threw them all down the mountain.

Before they could even attack, they all attacked.

“My benefactor, thank you so much for saving my life. I have no way to repay you, so I can only offer you my body!” Chun’er’s eyes flickered with love.

Jiang Li naturally wouldn’t refuse Chun’er’s kindness, and gently said, “Maybe in the next life.”

Chun’er: “…My benefactor, you’re such a joke. Please come to my village to thank me for saving my life.”

The secret realm’s spiritual energy density was several times higher than that of Jiuzhou. On the way to the village, Jiang Li saw wild fruits along the roadside, all of which were considered rare treasures, very beneficial for those at the Jindan and even Yuanying stages.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator came here, they would probably want to live directly in the secret realm.

It was truly difficult for Chun’er to maintain the level of Qi training at one and a half with so many natural resources.

Chun’er’s village was very attractive. According to Chun’er, all the men in the village were forcibly conscripted into the army and dragged off to the battlefield. Ten years later, not a single man returned, leaving only a group of widowed women and young girls in the village.

These beautiful women and girls were so captivating that upon arriving here, Jiang Li thought he had stumbled upon a pure land.

Chun’er also explained that the country was now divided, plagued by wars and conflicts, with few men left behind, leaving behind many widows and young girls, all no less beautiful than those in this village. Jiang Li’s cultivation was astonishing, and if he could join the battlefield, he would surely unify the world and become king.

During his conversation with Chun’er, Jiang Li learned that those in the secret realm could not cultivate immortality, but could only strengthen their muscles and bones and enhance their martial arts. Those natural treasures were useless to them.

Chun’er was considered gifted, having already become an acquired master at a young age. Above the acquired was an innate master, and above the innate was the rare Grandmaster!

The Grandmaster realm only appeared in legends!

And according to Chun’er’s description, the Grandmaster realm was equivalent to the seventh to ninth level of Qi training!

Jiang Li gasped upon hearing this, and the entire secret realm dropped several degrees.

What a weak secret world!
