Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 410

Chapter 410 There is still hope for the future

When Bai Hongtu learned that he was summoned back to Jiuzhou, he knew that he would not have the chance to go to the Long River of Time.

Jiang Li had already returned from the Long River of Time, so why would he go there himself?

“How did you come back from the Long River of Time?” Bai Hongtu was curious.

“I met Emperor Shun, the ancestor of the Ji family. He sent me back. You will never guess what I did in the Long River of Time.” Jiang Li was proud and spoke very mysteriously, wanting to show off his experience to the two.

“You went back tens of thousands of years and reached the fairyland?” Bai Hongtu asked.

Jiang Li: “…”

I can’t respond to what you said.

“Didn’t you say you came to see the Immortal Master? Let’s go. When you get to the Immortal Master, you can tell us about your historical experiences.”

Yu Yin said, and walked into the Dao Sect on his own. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu followed behind, as if Yu Yin was the master of the Dao

Sect. “Immortal Master, we are here to visit you again.” Jiang Li shouted as if he was visiting an elderly widower, and entered the Fengji Cave.

Immortal Changcun, lost in his world of books, heard Jiang Li’s voice, closed his ancient tome, and said with a chuckle, “What do you mean by visiting? Didn’t you come with questions last time?”

“There are quite a few people this time, including Hongtu and Xiaoyin. Feel free to sit down. I only have books in this cave, so I don’t have much to offer.”

Jiang Li sighed, remembering his recent encounter with Immortal Changcun, who had grown from youth to old age nine thousand years ago.

“Immortal, we’ve traveled to a world where no one cultivates immortality, but where supernatural powers exist. The infiltration of extraterritorial demons there is minimal.”

Hearing this, Immortal Changcun breathed a sigh of relief.

No extraterritorial demons were a good thing. Every time Jiang Li came to him, it was always linked to extraterritorial demons. He had spent countless efforts trying to connect with those lies.

“But someone in that world possessed the power of time, and risked their life to send me into the river of time.”

Jiang Li looked at Immortal Changcun with a half-smile: “Immortal, guess which era I went to?”

“I went to Jiuzhou nine thousand years ago and witnessed the destruction of the Immortal Ladder. I also learned the origins of the Extraterritorial Demon.”

“Is that so?” Immortal Changcun’s smile was forced, and it was difficult to maintain his composure. Cold sweat broke out. He hadn’t expected Jiang Li to make such a big statement right off the bat.

This time, there was no way back.

“Wasn’t the Immortal Ladder destroyed by the Extraterritorial Demon? What’s so strange about that?” Bai Hongtu was puzzled.

“You’re wrong. The Immortal Ladder was destroyed by the Dao Ancestor.”

“What?” Bai Hongtu was shocked. “Was it the Immortal Dao Ancestor?”

“You can say it was the Immortal Dao Ancestor, or you can say it was the Dao Ancestor of your Dao Sect. Dao Ancestor Dao Sect was one of the three corpses of the Immortal Dao Ancestor. After the three corpses of the Immortal Dao Ancestor reunited, he crushed the Immortal Ladder.” “

Then the Immortal Dao Ancestor left Jiuzhou and destroyed the last Immortal Ladder in the heavens and myriad worlds, the Immortal Ladder of the Bell World, and then rested there.”

Bai Hongtu stood up with a sound. “You mean to say that the Immortal Dao Ancestor is dead?! The extraterritorial demons are so powerful? Doesn’t that mean that the extraterritorial demons have already conquered the Immortal Realm?”

Yu Yin’s expression was also solemn. What Jiang Li said was a revelation. The Immortal Realm had been conquered by the extraterritorial demons. Even if the Immortal Ladder was rebuilt in the future, no one would dare to go to the Immortal Realm, and no one would be able to become an immortal.

The Immortal Realm had become the base camp of the extraterritorial demons.

“In fact, there are no extraterritorial demons.”

“No extraterritorial demons? How could this be?”

“You should have seen the blurred stone tablet left by the Dao Ancestor of the Mingzhong World.”

“Of course. The tablet says that the Dao Ancestor encountered an enemy and left the Immortal Realm seriously injured. The Immortal Elder speculated that a conflict within the Immortal Realm affected the Dao Ancestor of our Dao Sect. Now that I think about it, the Immortal Elder’s speculation must have been wrong.”

“I saw the intact stone tablet.”

Jiang Li said nothing more about himself, casting the stone tablet’s phantom into the air.

“…The Heavenly Dao gave rise to spiritual intelligence…All cultivators below the Immortal level in the Immortal Realm died…The Earthly Immortals devoured each other and became monsters of various shapes…Aren’t the descriptions of Earthly Immortals here the descriptions of Extraterritorial Demons?!”

“Grandmaster, what exactly is going on?”

The Immortal Elder Changcun sighed. “Jiang Li, since you know the truth, just keep it to yourself. Why bother to speak it out?”

The Immortal Elder Changcun knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.

When he first fabricated the story of the Outer Realm Demon, many doubted it. As time passed, the people of that era gradually perished in battle, leaving only him and the Sumeru Buddha alive.

After Sumeru Buddha was killed by Jiang Li, he was left alone.

As the only survivor from that era, it was natural that everyone believed his words. To this day, no one questioned the origins of the Outer Realm Demon.

Jiang Li had doubts, but they were merely suspicions. He stood firm to his previous story, and there was nothing Jiang Li could do.

Immortal Changcun could never have imagined that Jiang Li could travel through the River of Time, and even travel back nine thousand years.

Even Ji Zhi could only go back three hundred years. How did Jiang Li do it?

Couldn’t the River of Time stop him?

If possible, Immortal Changcun wished to take the secret of the Outer Realm Demon with him to his grave, so that no one else would know the truth.

Knowing the truth would do nothing for Jiuzhou, as it did nine thousand years ago, and it would be the same nine thousand years from now.

Just as he had repeatedly advised Jiang Li before, if he could avoid ascending, then don’t do it. If he could avoid opposing the immortal world, then don’t do it.

Given Jiang Li’s personality, a trip to the Immortal Realm would inevitably lead to conflict.

No matter how powerful Jiang Li was, he couldn’t outmatch the Immortal Realm. It was impossible for anyone to single-handedly fight against the Immortal Realm.

Even as powerful as his master, who had united the three corpses and stood at the end of the Immortal Path, was slain.

Seeing the Immortal Elder remain silent, Jiang Li explained to the two, “There are no extraterritorial demons in the world. The so-called extraterritorial demons are the Immortals.”

“For the past nine thousand years, we haven’t killed demons, but Immortals.”

“The Earthly Immortals have become monsters, wreaking havoc across the Nine Provinces. The Celestial Immortals have submitted to the Way of Heaven and are now wielding their power across the heavens and myriad realms.”

“Perhaps when the Immortal Ladder was crushed by Daozu, the Immortal Elder already knew of the changes in the Immortal Realm. He simply couldn’t speak of them at the time. Nine thousand years ago, few cultivators sought to maintain order. Most were egocentric, using the world to support their own demonic ways.”

“Cultivating the Immortal Realm, cultivating the immortal realm, is all about achieving immortality. With the disappearance of the Immortal Realm and the hopelessness of becoming an immortal, revealing the truth would inflict despair among the cultivators and hasten the destruction of Jiuzhou.”

“The Immortal Elder fabricated the lie about the extraterritorial demons for Jiuzhou’s sake.”

“Jiang Li, since you know the reason, why did you reveal the truth?” Jiang

Li said sternly, “Because I was instructed by Daozu.”

Jiang Li showed the scene of Daozu’s last moments to Changcun Immortal Elder.

In it, Daozu dragged his broken body, and in his final moments, he told Jiang Li that Jiang Li was from the future, more powerful than himself, and that there was still hope for the future.

When the Immortal Changcun saw this scene, his eyes blurred and he covered his face with his hands, weeping uncontrollably. I don’t know if it was because he saw his master die, or was he venting the lies and loneliness he had silently endured for nine thousand years, or maybe it was both.

There is still hope for the future.
