Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Penglai Fairy Island

. Penglai Fairy Island lies on the back of the Jiuzhou Continent, surrounded by the sea. It is a rare human powerhouse in the Four Seas.

Day and night are reversed on the back of the Jiuzhou Continent: when it’s daytime on the front of the continent, it’s nighttime on the back.

Whenever Jiang Li hears this common knowledge, he’s reminded of his past life’s geocentric theory, which held that their planet was the center of the universe, with the sun orbiting around them.

This theory was later disproven.

But in the Jiuzhou world, geocentrism remains true.

The stars revere the sun and moon, which in turn revere the Jiuzhou Continent. With the sun, moon, and stars orbiting the Jiuzhou Continent, the Jiuzhou Continent is undoubtedly the center of the universe.

Legend has it that the Jiuzhou Continent wasn’t originally at the center of the universe, but rather that a predecessor who achieved immortality developed obsessive-compulsive disorder and, believing the center was more attractive, pushed the Jiuzhou Continent to the center.

However, this legend is so ancient that even the Immortal Eternal cannot confirm its authenticity.

Of course, Jiang Li could accomplish something as simple as moving the entire continent.

“This is the flying boat. It’s quite cleverly designed.” Covered in black veil, Fairy Hongchen revealed a pair of bright eyes. Curiously, she leaned over the railing, gazing at the clouds and the vast ocean beneath them.

This was her second trip out of the country, and everything in Jiuzhou was new to her, a journey she sought to experience.

Naturally, this included the flying boats that transported lower-level cultivators.

A blue continent slowly emerged from the water, puffing out clouds and mist. The continent grew ever larger, until its end was invisible.

“Woo”—the

blue continent emitted a clear, hollow sound, revealing its vast tail.

It turned out this wasn’t a continent, but a giant Kun.

“Look, look, isn’t that a Kun?” Fairy Hongchen exclaimed, delighted at the sight of the creature she had seen in the “Illustrated Guide to Immortal Beasts.”

Fairy Hongchen wasn’t alone; other female cultivators were also aboard the flying boat. They were all in a group, their first time in the Four Seas, and having never seen a giant Kun, they leaned over the railing to watch.

Fairy Hongchen blended seamlessly among the lower-level female cultivators.

“Master, can’t you just be quiet for a while?” Saint Jingxin was helpless. She felt that her master was just like herself who had just come down from the mountain. The sense of déjà vu was too strong.

“Fairy Hongchen is still as innocent as ever.” Jiang Li said with a smile. The destination of this flying boat was Penglai Fairy Island. All the people on board were female cultivators. In order not to attract attention, Jiang Li followed Saint Jingxin in stealth.

Saint Jingxin quietly took half a step and stood closer to Jiang Li, with a hint of happiness on her lips.

“I heard that the disciples of Penglai Fairy Island practice very hard. When we were sleeping, they were still practicing. They are really worthy of being disciples of the six major sects.” A female cultivator said, attracting the praise of other female cultivators and a longing for Penglai Fairy Island.

Jiang Li said that this was nonsense. When you sleep, it is night, but for Penglai Fairy Island, it is day.

“I also heard that the island master of Penglai, Mo Ruoyu, was once married, but her husband died soon after.”

“I had the honor of meeting Island Master Mo at the Dao Sect Treasure Appraisal Conference. She’s truly stunningly beautiful, making even women fall in love with her. It’s said that many cultivators have secrets about her.”

“But Island Master Mo treats her suitors with indifference. Some say she’s unlucky in marriage. I wonder if that’s why she’s never remarried.”

Jiang Li’s ears were callused by gossip until the flying boat finally reached Penglai Island.

Along the way, Fairy Hongchen witnessed many novel things: Kunpeng transforming into a roc, soaring through the sky; the shrimp soldiers and crab generals conducting military exercises at sea; Li Er being pursued by his wife; Long Zi flaunting his wealth and competing for financial power…

Penglai Island’s cultivators are evenly divided between male and female, but Island Master Mo Ruoyu is a female cultivator with a strong personality, which means that the female disciples on Penglai Island have a slightly higher status than the male disciples.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that during the Shangsi Festival, all male disciples must visit the Dragon Palace.

Penglai Island is shrouded in mist year-round. Only disciples know the proper way to enter. Those who venture in rashly will be trapped forever in the fog.

The fog is actually Penglai Island’s protective formation.

After disembarking from the flying boat, the female disciples of Penglai Island came to verify their gender. In the past, many male cultivators disguised themselves in an attempt to attend the Shangsi Festival.

For those caught, Penglai Island publicly announced their identities, letting all cultivators in Kyushu know of the existence of such a scoundrel.

“Are you the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart?” A Penglai Island disciple exclaimed in surprise as she accepted the invitation. Her fellow travelers hadn’t expected such a prominent figure like her to travel on a flying boat.

“Then who’s traveling with you?” The Penglai Island disciples had never seen anyone so veiled, but her eyes were so beautiful they wanted to stare at them.

“She’s shy and can’t meet people. Please understand.” Of course, the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart couldn’t allow anyone to remove the Grandmaster’s veil; it would cause chaos.

Judging from the expressions of the two disciples, the Grandmaster could captivate people with just her eyes.

Even same-s*x relationships.

The image of the Pure Heart Saint, known for her purity and purity, was still effective, and the disciples of Penglai Island doubted she would bring a man into

the Shangsi Society. Jiang Li, invisible, followed behind her, silently.

Upon entering Penglai Island, many cultivators were thrilled. The spiritual energy here was incredibly rich, surpassing even the finest cultivation caves of their own sects.

Precious spiritual plants flourished lushly, and a glance revealed over ten plants whose ingestion could directly boost cultivation.

However, Fairy Hongchen showed little interest in the rich spiritual energy and the abundance of spiritual plants.

These same things existed in the Pure Land of Hongchen, and were even more powerful than those on Penglai Island.

“Penglai Island remains the same,” Jiang Li smiled. He had been to Penglai Island several times, and the scene was all too familiar.

During his Spiritual Transformation period, Jiang Li’s training went awry, leaving him with no progress at all and severely injured. He drifted in the East China Sea, a dangerous place, at risk of being devoured by passing sea creatures.

Island Master Mo happened to be passing by at the time and picked Jiang Li up and brought him back to Penglai Island. Jiang Li lived there for two months, recovering from his injuries, and then thanked Island Master Mo before leaving.

After Jiang Li became the Human Emperor, he visited Penglai Island many times, sharing his cultivation experiences as a way of thanking Island Master Mo for saving his life.

The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart is the pinnacle of female cultivators, and many aspire to be her role model. For example, Song Ying, who constantly accompanies Qin Luan, chooses the image of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart in her mysterious realms.

However, the female cultivators prefer the pure and kind Holy Maiden of Pure Heart to the domineering Yu Yin, who rules the empire.

Consequently, when the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart arrived on Penglai Island, it caused a huge sensation.

Out of respect for the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart, the crowd didn’t flock to her, but instead formed a large circle that moved with her movements, making her uncomfortable.

“What are you all surrounding?” a soft voice echoed in the crowd. Yu Yin, having shed her imperial robes and donned casual clothes, slowly approached, her eyes painted with light golden eyeshadow.

Despite her casual attire, her commanding majesty remained undiminished, indeed even more so.

Yu Yin, without even using her cultivation, frightened the female cultivators away with her aura alone.

“Thank you, Queen, for rescuing me,” the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart thanked her.

“Although we haven’t interacted much, we are still acquaintances. You can just call me Yuyin.”
