Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: The Fearful Duye Envoy

Two hundred years had passed since Jiang Li’s departure.

Yuan Shang had died in battle with a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator, and his successor had taken up the banner of the Nine Provinces to resist the Heavenly Demons.

The Duye Emissary arrived in the Nine Provinces quietly.

“Everything is as expected. The number of Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators in the Nine Provinces is decreasing.” The Duye Emissary counted the number of Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators and was very satisfied with his plan.

“The world of Jiuzhou is too powerful to be dismantled from within through conspiracy and subterfuge. We must first eliminate the world’s top powers.”

“After the Heavenly Dao gained intelligence, the Earth Immortals devoured each other, becoming grotesque monsters. These monsters are so powerful that any world they were sent to could instantly destroy it without a doubt.”

“Instantaneously destroying a world could have extremely disastrous consequences. We can’t just send them out casually.”

“We’ll use these mad Earth Immortals to deal with Jiuzhou. Send one every one or two hundred years to keep the pressure on Jiuzhou constant.”

“If this continues, the entire top leadership of Jiuzhou will perish. Then I’ll come to Jiuzhou and execute my secret plan to disintegrate it from within.”

Du Ye, the High Envoy, was brimming with pride. His plan to destroy Jiuzhou had already been approved by the higher-ups.

“For years, I’ve been developing various slow-death plans in other worlds and haven’t had time to come to Jiuzhou. Even so, I can devise a plan that will satisfy the higher-ups and be feasible.”

Du Ye, the High Envoy, boasted of being the most intelligent of the Celestial Immortals.

“Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon? Mahayana stage?” Du Ye was slightly surprised by the term.

“As expected of the Immortal Elder Changcun, you’re using the story of the extraterritorial demon to conceal the truth and fabricate the illusory Mahayana stage to give people hope.”

“Your wisdom is no less than mine,”

said the High Envoy Duye, shaking his head. “What a shame! Fake is fake after all. No matter how flawless a lie, it will eventually be exposed. How long can you keep it secret?”

Like a high-ranking deity, High Envoy Duye watched with a sense of pride as Jiuzhou employed various methods to resist the so-called extraterritorial demon.

He commented on these methods, noting flaws and loopholes.

“Wait, what’s going on with the earth veins?” High Envoy Duye sensed something beyond his expectations.

He used his divine sense to scan Jiuzhou, then transformed himself into an ordinary cultivator, asking around. Finally, he infiltrated Jiuzhou’s core and encountered a deep blue stream.

High Envoy Duye broke out in a cold sweat.

In his tens of thousands of years, whether in Jiuzhou or ascending to the immortal realm, he had never felt so terrified and frightened.

“How could such a thing appear!” Du Ye’s body shuddered, feeling his end approaching. He had never felt death so close.

“This shouldn’t be! This shouldn’t be! This shouldn’t be!” Du Ye roared softly, venting his fear.

He knew that if he reported the situation of the Jiuzhou earth veins to his superiors, he would be the first to die!

“This kind of thing should only be born when sentient beings are in dire straits. How could it appear in Jiuzhou?”

Du Ye was puzzled. He sent out the monsters cautiously, both in number and power, well within Jiuzhou’s capabilities. He would never let sentient beings despair.

No way!

“The earth veins were formed two hundred years ago. I should have sent out three monsters back then.”

“That shouldn’t be the case. At that time, Jiuzhou had about a dozen or twenty Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators, as well as the Immortal Elder Changcun. That force was more than enough to deal with three monsters.”

Du Ye forced himself to calm down and inquire about the formation of the veins.

“Damn it! Three Earth Immortal-level monsters have appeared, and those damn Tribulation-Duan-stage cultivators are scheming against each other, not putting up enough effort, putting Jiuzhou at a disadvantage and making the people mistakenly believe Jiuzhou is doomed?!”

High Envoy Duye ordered the three monsters to kill the Tribulation-Duan-stage cultivators first, figuring that this way, they would fight back desperately, ultimately resulting in the monsters being killed and the Tribulation-Duan-stage cultivators suffering heavy losses.

Frustrated to the point of wanting to vomit blood, he calculated everything except the Tribulation-Duan-stage cultivators’ mental state.

“Destroy the earth veins?” This was High Envoy Duye’s first thought, but he quickly dismissed it.

“No! Not to mention the earth veins, even when they were first born, in their embryonic form, I couldn’t destroy them. The level of the earth veins is too high.” “

Since the earth veins have already been formed, I’m not afraid of the dying wills of sentient beings. Why not just destroy Jiuzhou directly?”

High Envoy Duye quickly dismissed his second thought.

Jiuzhou was too conspicuous. The death of everyone in Jiuzhou would inevitably attract the attention of the higher-ups.

If they noticed Jiuzhou, and then the existence of the earth veins, the next step would be my own execution.

“Drag it out, as long as possible!”

After ascending to the Celestial Realm, the High Envoy of the Duye Sect not only learned immortal arts but also mastered the art of procrastination.

He dared not change his plan; it had already been reviewed by his superiors. Any rash alterations to the plan to destroy the Nine Provinces would arouse their suspicion.

The High Envoy of the Duye Sect now had to pretend nothing had happened.

Directly destroying the people of Nine Provinces wouldn’t dissipate the earth veins; instead, they would transform and continue to exist in another form.

Only by gradually destroying Nine Provinces could the earth veins disappear.

“This is the only way. I hope there won’t be any more accidents.”

“In another eight thousand years, the number of people in Nine Provinces in the Tribulation Stage will be at a minimum. Then I’ll return to Nine Provinces to implement my new plan.”

The High Envoy of the Duye Sect left with a worried look on his face.

…

“It’s still more comfortable to stay in Nine Provinces right now.” Jiang Li stretched after being escorted back by Emperor Shun.

Recalling Emperor Shun’s speed in rowing, Jiang Li felt he was trying to get him back quickly.

It was as if the longer he stayed in the River of Time, the more dangerous it became.

“Hello everyone,” Jiang Li said, smiling and greeting the people nearby.

“So where did you come from?” Yu Yin sat high on the throne, looking elegant and noble. She looked at Jiang Li who suddenly appeared in front of her, not knowing what to say.

She was attending the morning court, and as it was drawing to a close, Jiang Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It’s not quite right to say he appeared out of nowhere. Yu Yin sensed the Dao of Time from the fluctuations within, a Dao even more profound than Ji Zhi’s.

Upon seeing Jiang Li, the ministers all paid their respects, saying, “Greetings to the Human Emperor.”

Yu Yin asked, “Aren’t you in some supernatural world, performing a duet with Bai Hongtu?”

“It’s the Wei Gu world.”

“The name is hard to remember.”

“I’ve gained a lot from this trip, and I have something to discuss with the Immortal Elder. Would you like to come with me to meet him?”

“How much have I gained?”

“Enough to overturn your understanding.”

“Let’s go.”

Yu Yin’s interest was piqued; what Jiang Li had to say was bound to be more interesting than attending court.

Jiang Li was halfway through his flight when he felt like he’d forgotten something.

Arriving at the Dao Sect’s gate, Jiang Li slammed his palms, suddenly realizing something.

He’d forgotten Bai Hongtu.

Jiang Li spread out his summoning array, muttering, “Come back, Bai Hongtu!”

Bai Hongtu, summoned, made strange movements, as if grabbing someone by the collar and shaking them frantically.

“Master, please come back to life and send me into the river of time!”

The two disciples at the gate of Dao Sect were not surprised by their master’s behavior.

The master has been like this for a long time.
