Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Saving All Living Beings

Initially, Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva had assumed that Jiang Li didn’t meet the requirements of the inheritance, and therefore no inheritance would pay attention to him.

Now she understood. Their reluctance to pay attention to Jiang Li was clearly the result of the inheritances waiting for Jiang Li’s name and selection.

“The Secret Realm of All Living Beings… The Secret Realm of All Living Beings… All Living Beings… Could it be that the Secret Realm of All Living Beings is meant to save all living beings?”

“Human Emperor Jiang has the world at heart, protecting the Nine Provinces, resisting the invasion of extraterritorial demons, bringing peace to the Nine Provinces and reducing conflict—is this actually part of saving all living beings?”

Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva, as if awakened from a dream, finally understood the meaning of the Secret Realm of All Living Beings.

Whether it’s Buddhism, past Human Emperors, or many other cultivators, they all share the desire to save all living beings.

However, simply having the desire isn’t enough; it requires the ability.

Jiang Li possesses both, and he excels at it.

The Nine Provinces are now vibrant, and Jiang Li has made an indelible contribution.

Buddha Master Wuzhi was the first to notice the unusual movements in the Secret Realm of All Living Beings and then notified all Arhats and Bodhisattvas to journey there to investigate.

Witnessing this groundbreaking scene, their astonishment was no less than that of the Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva.

“I beg the pardon of the intrusion of this secret realm, Lord Wuzhi.”

“Donor Jiang, that’s not right.”

Wuzhi attempted to persuade Jiang Li to bestow these inheritances upon the Buddhist order. Jiang Li readily agreed, much to Wuzhi’s delight, and he thanked him profusely.

“This must be a secret realm left behind by the Buddha,” Brahma Tower suddenly declared.

Everyone turned their heads, staring at Brahma Tower. They had never heard Brahma Tower mention it before.

“Perhaps I’m mistaken, after all, my memories of the time before I attained spiritual intelligence are hazy.” What Brahma Tower didn’t mention was that he actually remembered being a magical artifact forged by the Buddha.

But there was no need to dwell on such uncertainties.

Despite Brahma Tower’s uncertainty, everyone felt that the Secret Realm of All Living Things might truly be a legacy of the Buddha.

It was simply because the Secret Realm of All Living Things contained so many inheritances that it seemed as if every Buddha inheritance from the immortal world could be found there, even that of Sakyamuni Buddha.

The amount of inheritance held by the Buddhist sect suddenly multiplied several times. The usually calm Wuzhi couldn’t help but smile for days.

However, even with an inheritance, one couldn’t practice arbitrarily. Buddhism emphasizes the mind, and without that, practicing the inheritance would only hinder oneself.

Bai Hongtu was considering privately asking Wuzhi for a copy of the telepathic inheritance.

Victory over Jiang Li was imminent.

…

After parting with Bai Hongtu, Jiang Li settled the mission rewards.

[Reward: Half a Century of Cultivation. Please accept.]

Jiang Li held the so-called Half a Century of Cultivation in his hand and briefly sensed the energy contained within.

“It can elevate one from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the Spiritual Transformation stage. If one isn’t in a hurry to advance, one can consolidate their realm and reach the peak of the Nascent Soul.”

It was obvious without question that Half a Century of Cultivation wasn’t for Jiang Li right now.

“Useless reward.” Jiang Li dispelled the energy. Pulling out a single hair contained more energy than that.

[Reward: Spiritual Treasure Golden Chain Mail. Please accept.]

A spectacular piece of golden armor appeared in Jiang Li’s hands.

[Golden Chain Mail: Wearing this armor, one can withstand ten full-strength attacks from cultivators of the same level.]

“Amazing!” Jiang Li exclaimed. He had never encountered anything that could withstand his full-strength attacks,

including the First Emperor.

Jiang Li donned the chain mail and slapped his chest with minimal force, revealing a bowl-sized gap.

“What a shoddy product! I knew the system wasn’t trustworthy.”

[Reward: ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones’]

[One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones: This is a Daoist sect’s untold great supernatural power, extremely difficult to cultivate. It allows one to temporarily create two clones of the same realm, significantly increasing combat power.]

Jiang Li curled his lips. This thing was of no use to him. He had already mastered ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones’. He had used this great supernatural power when the spiritual treasure became a spirit.

If even Bai Hongtu could master this supernatural power, Jiang Li could certainly learn it too.

Bai Hongtu often created clones to play poker. This seemed like playful fun, but in reality, it was a way to prolong the clone’s existence and improve his control over it.

At least that was how Bai Hongtu explained it.

Jiang Li could repeatedly perform the “One Qi Transforms into Three Purities” technique, meaning the two clones he created could also perform the “Transform into Three Purities” technique together, creating four clones.

Overall, the three rewards were of no use to Jiang Li.

“Is the Human Emperor free?”

It was actually the Sword Lord contacting him.

“I just happened to be free. What’s the matter?” “I found something strange in the Void. Human Emperor is knowledgeable, why don’t you come and take a look?”

“Why are you in the Void? And how could there be something there?” Jiang Li was puzzled. The Void was very dangerous for those in the Tribulation Crossing stage. Their bodies couldn’t withstand the prolonged turbulence of the Void.

If even a Tribulation Crossing stage couldn’t withstand it, how could anything appear in the Void?

“I felt there was nothing else in the Nine Provinces that could improve my swordsmanship, so I came to the Void to hone my swordsmanship. As for what I found, Human Emperor, please come and see it first, lest you accuse me of deceiving you.”

Jiang Li nodded. The Sword Lord was truly bold. To become stronger, he even risked his life.

Following the Sword Lord’s instructions, Jiang Li cut through space and arrived in the Void.

When they found the Sword Lord, his clothes had long been shredded by the void, and his body was covered in wounds, though his sword intent had indeed improved.

“What did you find?”

Jiang Li had just asked when he spotted something behind the Sword Lord.

“It’s a massive statue made of many human bones, but only half of it remains.”

“From what I can determine, the highest level of cultivation the owner of these bones had reached was at the Spiritual Transformation Stage.”

“What puzzles me is that cultivators at the Spiritual Transformation stage can’t survive in the void. How could their bones not be annihilated by the void?”

Jiang Li said, his expression solemn.

This statue was none other than the statue of the Venerable Shenzang!

Ten years ago, he had brought Ji Kongkong into the Shenzang Sect’s secret realm, where this statue of the Venerable Shenzang lay deepest.

Later, the secret realm exploded, and everything within was scattered into the void. Jiang Li remembered clearly that only this statue of the Venerable Shenzang survived the void.

However, at the time, Jiang Li was preoccupied with protecting Ji Kongkong and rushing back to Jiuzhou, and hadn’t bothered to check on the statue.

It was unbelievable that after all this time, he would see the statue of the Venerable Shenzang again.

“Does the Human Emperor know what this is?” Sword Lord was curious. Now, only the lower half of the statue remained, and judging by Jiang Li’s expression, he felt he knew something.

“An evil object.”

Jiang Li said nothing more. He didn’t know why the statue was unaffected by the void.

“This evil object is incredibly strong. I used all my strength to chop at it, but there wasn’t even a crack.”

Jiang Li tried to pry it apart, and without much effort, he managed to break the statue’s leg off.

Jiang Li commented, “It’s indeed quite strong.”

Sword Lord: “…”

Jiang Li, fearing he might strike back at Sword Lord, explained, “It’s truly quite hard. Even though I used very little force, it was enough to tear apart an extraterritorial demon with my bare hands.”
