Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 331

Chapter 331 Xiaoqing’s Strict Requirements

“If you don’t return, who will manage the Bai Ze Dynasty?” Jiang Li wondered. Cultivating a true dragon takes considerable time, and the Bai Ze Dynasty couldn’t remain without a leader forever.

“The Human Emperor forgot that when I transformed into the pure-blooded Bai Ze, I also created a Qilin clone. She can manage the Bai Ze Dynasty on my behalf,” Bai Xueling said with a smile. She had already arranged for the Qilin clone before arriving in the Lingxi World.

“I had forgotten about this. Now that you’ve become a pure-blooded Bai Ze, what’s become of the dynasty?”

“The demon kings are insignificant, and they all stay in their fiefdoms. They dare not disobey me. I have told them to control their subordinates and not to plunder passing human travelers. My recent goal is to get rid of the nickname of the Bandit Dynasty.”

“Many of you humans have chosen to come here to hone yourself, fight with demon beasts, and promote growth with blood and death. Some have won in the dynasty and gained good fortune, while others are not as skilled as the demons and die here. I didn’t stop them.”

Jiang Li nodded lightly. There was no need to treat them differently. The Bai Ze Dynasty was equivalent to the whetstone for the human race. When the two fought, the victor would be the king and the loser would be the bandit. Both the human race and the demon race would benefit. He had also fought in the Bai Ze Dynasty when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

“Even if the demons have gained wisdom, they still prefer to assert their power. This has been the case throughout the Bai Ze Dynasty, and it’s unlikely to change in the future.”

“Sometimes I envy you humans. Although inherently weak, you have the wisdom to make up for it, surpassing us demons.”

“Your wisdom is reflected not only in individual growth, but also in overall order.”

Legend has it that in ancient times, the demons were the masters of Jiuzhou. Humans, weak and squeezed in between, survived. Later, under the guidance of immortals, humans learned the methods of cultivating immortality. Based on these teachings, they developed various techniques.

Through their cultivation, humans gradually gained power on par with the demon beasts.

Eventually, the number of immortals ascending to the immortal realm surpassed the number of demons becoming immortal beasts, truly establishing the human race’s dominance over Jiuzhou.

“Humans don’t necessarily value order either,” Jiang Li shook his head slightly. “The power of individuals creates rigid hierarchies, which could very well lead to a world where individuals dictate everything, completely relegating the world to a world ruled by sheer power, even more deplorable than the demon beasts.”

Jiang Li thought of the Tonggu world and the First Emperor of the parallel world. In both worlds, power trumped reason.

Of the three immortal cultivation worlds, only Jiuzhou values order the most. Jiang Li wasn’t sure if it was just bad luck, encountering worlds that were the opposite of Jiuzhou’s, or if it was that power ruled everything in the immortal cultivation world, with Jiuzhou being the only exception.

The two chatted until they unknowingly returned to the academy.

On the playground, where contracted beasts should be trained, two people were jogging, drawing particular attention.

“As my host, how can you be so weak? You must train, train hard!”

“That’s right, aren’t you ashamed?”

The little green snake and the tiger cub rested on Xia Chao and Qiu Shi’s shoulders, whispering in their ears, “Speed up, speed up, speed up! “

Even if they were Qi training cultivators at the first level, they couldn’t handle such a workout.

But Xiaoqing wasn’t idle either, breathing in spiritual energy and purifying dragon blood.

“Enough, let’s stop here for now.” Seeing that they were almost there, the little green snake let them rest for ten minutes.

“No sudden stops, slow down!” the little green snake warned them, and they continued jogging with bitter faces, then slowed to a stop.

“Brother Jiang, help!” Xia Chao and the other two rushed forward to beg for help, as if they had seen a savior.

“Xiaoqing has changed! Not only did it transform into a snake after waking up, but even its personality has changed.”

“It emerged from its cocoon, saying it would save the world and couldn’t continue to degenerate. Then it immediately asked me to intensify my training so I could grow with it.”

Qiu Shi grimaced. “I was just dragged along. It said the little tiger cub was so talented and would be very powerful in the future. I wanted to become a beastmaster worthy of him.”

Jiang Li stroked the anxious little green snake.

“Well done,” Jiang Li sided with Xiaoqing. Despite Xiaoqing’s strict requirements, the results were remarkable, with both of them able to break through to the second level of Qi training.

“Cultivation isn’t just about meditation; it also requires physical training. What’s most important right now is for Xiaoqing to transform into a true dragon. Everything else needs to take a back seat.”

Jiang Li explained the problems in the Lingxi world to the two, making them realize the gravity of the situation.

They hadn’t anticipated that while all of humanity claimed to be the masters of the contracted beasts, the reality was the exact opposite: they were merely their servants.

Little did he realize that the root cause of assimilationism was that all the contracted beasts were fools.

“Xiaoqing is crucial, and you’re Xiaoqing’s beastmaster. When Xiaoqing unifies the contracted beast and demon beast factions, your strength will be indispensable.”

Jiang Li couldn’t just beat all the contracted beasts and demon beasts into submission and force them to recognize Xiaoqing as their big brother.

Xiaoqing needed to use his own strength to become the king of the Lingxi world.

“Although you’re not good at fighting, you’re good at sensing danger and avoiding disaster. Plus, you practice the Evergreen Technique, which can help Xiaoqing recover from injuries.”

Xia Chao was encouraged.

“I’ve prepared training plans for you two.” Jiang Li had written two plans on the way.

Xia Chao took them and read them, his scalp tingling.

6:00 AM to 6:05 AM: wake up your mind.

6:05 AM to 12:00 PM: practice.

12:00 PM to 12:20 PM: eat.

12:20 PM to 12:40 PM: lunch break.

12:40 PM to 6:00 PM: practice.

6:00 PM to 6:20 PM: dinner.

6:20 PM to 12:00 PM: practice.

From twelve o’clock at night to six o’clock in the morning, sleep.

Qiu Shi curiously stretched his neck to look at his friend’s schedule. At first glance, it looked fine: eating, sleeping, practicing, and a combination of work and rest. But a closer look at the time revealed a problem.

The training time was ridiculously long.

Xia Chao looked at Xiao Qing’s training plan and felt it was even more unfair.

“Why is Xiao Qing only taking a medicinal bath and resting, while mine is all training?”

Jiang Li spoke earnestly to Xia Chao, “Because we humans are inherently weak, we can’t compete with the demon beasts. Diligence can make up for shortcomings. If we want to catch up to Xiaoqing, we have to double our training.”

Normally, such intense training would overdraw the body, but with Jiang Li by his side, he could provide countless rare treasures to offset the overdrawn resources.

Jiang Li could precisely grasp this balance.

Xiaoqing didn’t need training, but rather to constantly stimulate the potential of her bloodline; this was the demon beast’s superiority.

“Imagine, by the time Xiaoqing unifies the world, erects a statue of her, and is revered by the masses, while you haven’t contributed a bit, and people won’t even know your name. You wouldn’t want that, would you?”

Xia Chao gritted his teeth. His dream was to save the world, and now the opportunity to realize it was right before his eyes. He couldn’t hold Xiaoqing back, nor could he disappoint Brother Jiang’s expectations. “I’ll train!”

Qiu Shi, after a moment of inner struggle, asked to train with Xia Chao.

He believed that the more he put in, the greater the reward.

Jiang Li agreed.

Bai Xueling nodded slightly, a child who was adept at seizing opportunities.

Practicing under Jiang Li’s guidance is a blessing that countless cultivators in Jiuzhou would never be able to obtain.
