Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Be Frank

. “Thank you both for your assistance,”

Director Shao solemnly thanked Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu. If it weren’t for the intervention of these two geniuses, their Bi Hai branch would have become a disgrace to the Supernatural Administration, a springboard for the Supernatural Cult.

He was also secretly horrified. The methods these two employed resembled supernatural powers, yet were far more powerful than any other.

They wielded millions of incarnations, each incredibly powerful. Their swords emanated auras, each splitting into thousands of strands capable of severing any supernatural power.

Director Shao’s intuition told him that this was merely a small fraction of their abilities, the tip of the iceberg.

“The Bi Hai branch is truly grateful for your help. Please accept these tons of gold.”

Behind Director Shao stood a glittering mountain of gold.

He used his Midas touch to conjure the gold, intending to gift it to the two.

“If you can’t repay me, then don’t. We’re not doing this for these metals,” Bai Hongtu said nonchalantly. Forget gold and silver, even spirit stones of various grades were not of interest to the two.

To the two, gold and silver were just ordinary metals.

The hard currency of Kyushu was spirit stones.

And turning stone into gold was simply changing the properties of matter—who couldn’t do that?

Bai Hongtu could also transform gold into silver, mud into water, and dyed cloth into metal.

“Please come to my office for a chat.”

“Yes.”

“You two, please step aside.” Director Shao asked his daughter and Peng Lianghai to leave.

“No need. We’re not shameful. We’ve always been honest and open, and we’ve never lied.” Jiang Li smiled. He was honest and upright, with a clear conscience, never afraid of letting others know.

Bai Hongtu nodded; he was the same kind of person.

Peng Lianghai was surprised. “Are you really only eighteen?”

Jiang Li: “…”

Bai Hongtu: “…”

“You must be talking about your mental age.” Seeing their expressions, Director Shao knew their true ages were much higher, and he quickly tried to smooth things over.

Jiang Li glared at Bai Hongtu, telling him to stop fooling around and fabricating his age.

Bai Hongtu turned his head away, not meeting Jiang Li’s gaze.

Jiang Li coughed dryly. “Although there was a joking element to what happened before, it’s essentially the same.”

“When I introduced myself earlier, I said my superpowers were invincible. That wasn’t actually accurate. To be more precise, I haven’t met anyone who can defeat me yet.”

“… Doesn’t that mean I’m invincible?” Shao Junyi complained.

“Old Bai introduced himself earlier as a cultivator, and that’s not entirely wrong. We’re both cultivators.”

“Are you really cultivators?!” Although he had been mentally prepared, it was still different to receive the person’s admission.

“Formally, let me introduce myself. I’m from the Jiuzhou World. My title is the Human Emperor, revered throughout the Nine Provinces, and I’m a Mahayana cultivator, Jiang Li.”

“He’s also from the Jiuzhou World, the leader of the Dao Sect, and a Tribulation-Duxing cultivator, Bai Hongtu.”

“As I’ve said before, the path to immortality is divided into several levels. From lowest to highest, they’re Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Fusion, Tribulation-Duxing, Immortal, or Mahayana.”

“I was wandering through the void and stumbled upon your world. I apologize for entering without telling you.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Director Shao stood up, unwilling to accept Jiang Li’s apology.

Ancient texts record that clairvoyants possess vision that transcends this world and sees other worlds. That ancient psychic claimed there’s more than one world, separated by the void. The void’s winds are violent, and its energy is ferocious. Even if a trace of it leaked into the Weigu World, even the legendary sixth- or seventh-level psychics wouldn’t be able to stop it.

It would be a catastrophic disaster.

This Jiang Li, who could travel through the void, possessed far more power than Director Shao could have imagined.

He came in without even saying anything. Was he just being polite? He could hear him just by saying

something? Director Shao was stunned, at a loss for words.

He tried to imagine the two men’s power, but ultimately found his imagination limited and unable to keep up with reality.

Seeing his daughter and Peng Lianghai bewildered, confused by Jiang Li’s words, Director Shao explained to them what other worlds and the void were.

Shao Junyi and Peng Lianghai were soon stunned as well, and Director Shao finally felt at ease.

Director Shao’s understanding was actually quite superficial, and his explanation was full of loopholes. Jiang Li didn’t bother correcting them, so he simply started from the beginning, explaining concepts familiar to everyone in the Kyushu world: cultivation, the Nine Provinces, the immortal realm, and ascension.

Bai Hongtu yawned as he listened.

This was the material he had learned during his introductory years.

Director Shao and the other three listened with rapt attention. Jiang Li’s account was nothing short of myth and legend, and now, someone was claiming that myths and legends were real.

And the person speaking was the greatest myth and legend himself.

Compared to the cultivators of the Jiuzhou world, their supernatural powers seemed… too bizarre?

Director Shao wasn’t sure how to describe it.

The battle between the Supernatural Cult and the Bihai Branch had shown this: a plethora of dazzling supernatural powers, colliding with each other, produced not a powerful effect, but rather a hilarious and absurd result.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu disagreed with Director Shao. While the supernatural powers might not be particularly powerful, the underlying principles were not to be underestimated.

For example, the supernatural power that completely eliminated women involved the power of cause and effect, a highly advanced one, and few within the Jiuzhou Clan knew much about it.

“By the way, Director Shao, I have something I’d like to ask for your help.”

“Mr. Jiang, please feel free to ask. If it’s within my power, I’ll definitely help. No, even if it’s beyond my power, I’ll use my connections to help you, Mr. Jiang.”

“It’s not that big of a deal. I heard there’s a small statue of the Three-Eyed True God in the Bihai Branch’s storage room. Could you give it to me?”

The Bihai Branch’s storage room held confidential files, mysterious items, and items affected by supernatural powers. It was kept extremely secret, requiring permission from at least three high-ranking officials to enter.

Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to examine it.

Seeing Director Shao tense, Jiang Li offered reassurance, “Don’t worry, Director Shao. I’m not a member of the Ability Cult, nor will I join it. I’m simply interested in the statue of the Three-Eyed God.”

At this point, Director Shao had no choice but to remove the statue.

“This is for Mr. Jiang.”

“Thank you.”

Bai Hongtu didn’t understand why Jiang Li wanted it,

considering it wasn’t very attractive. A statue that was considered a symbol of faith must be quite impressive. Bai Hongtu simply had a preconceived notion and scoffed at the Three-Eyed God. He didn’t look like a god at all, believing it was just a fabrication. “

Having three eyes to see the past, present, and future? Emperor Shun, the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could see with just two eyes. Why would he need three eyes?”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu shared the same idea, but with Venerable Shenzang before him, he had to give it a try.

Jiang Li tapped the statue with the force of an egg, causing a piece of paint to flake off.

A little more force, and the statue shattered into slag.

“…”

Alright, Jiang Li was certain that this Three-Eyed True God didn’t exist, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be any powerful creature.
