Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 425

Chapter 424 Golden Immortal (Thanks to the Silver Alliance for guarding the lamb)

“Tianyang Poison Pill? Did you get the recipe for it? And you want to use it to travel to the underworld?” Immortal Changcun had just rested for a few days when Jiang Li came to ask for advice.

“This is indeed the recipe for the elixir. The Soul-Severing Water mentioned above is only found in the underworld or the Immortal Realm. There are no substitute ingredients.”

“Once, someone in the Immortal Realm had the same idea as you. Out of curiosity, they used this method to travel to the underworld. But they never returned.”

“Why?”

“Some speculate that the underworld is a place only the dead can visit, and once you go, you can’t leave.”

“The underworld doesn’t even give the Immortal Realm face?” Jiang Li developed a fondness for the underworld.

“Life and death are the greatest order of this world. The underworld is the last line of defense against this order of life and death. It doesn’t care who comes. Earthly Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and even Golden Immortals, cannot return. Coming here means death.” When

the Three Flowers converge at the top of the head, the Five Qis converge, returning to the origin of the infinite, achieving the ultimate perfection, one becomes a Golden Immortal.

Immortal Changcun painted a rosy picture for everyone, fabricating representative Mahayana figures like the Immortal Lord of Hell and the Immortal of War, all belonging to this level.

Few cultivators from the Nine Provinces who ascended to the Immortal Realm could reach this level of cultivation. This meant they were already considered giants of the Immortal Realm, free and unfettered.

It was for this reason that some had previously flattered Jiang Li, claiming he would become a giant after his ascension.

This was a precedent.

Above the Golden Immortal were figures like the Daozu, who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and were known as “Ancestors.

” “What about figures of Daozu’s caliber?”

“I don’t know about that. I’m not Daozu.”

Immortal Changcun knew Jiang Li’s character. If he wanted to go to the underworld, no one would dissuade him.

He felt that Jiang Li had a good chance of returning, and if that didn’t happen, couldn’t he fight his way back?

No, no, how could he have such an idea?

Immortal Changcun seemed to have thought of something and said, “Didn’t you ask me before what happened in the Underworld that caused someone to break it open and allow the souls to escape? I said it was an internal strife in the Underworld, a conflict between the Ten Yama Kings.”

“Yes, that’s what you said. You also said that the Ten Yama Kings were immortals in their previous lives and that their ideologies were different. You also said that the Underworld wanted to attack the Immortal Realm. You said a lot, I remember it all.”

“I made it all up.”

Jiang Li almost choked.

“Immortal, tell me the truth, how many times have you lied to me?”

Immortal Changcun was also helpless. “When I heard your description, I knew it was probably the Fallen Immortal who took action, but I didn’t dare tell you the truth.”

“If I had said it was the Extraterritorial Demons attacking the Underworld, you would have wondered why the Immortal Realm didn’t care about the Extraterritorial Demons, and then you would have thought that there was a big problem in the Immortal Realm and that the Extraterritorial Demons were Immortals.”

“In desperation, I had to make up a lot of irrelevant stories to cover up the lie.” The Immortal Weng was also impressed. Since meeting Jiang Li, his lying skills have improved day by day.

Jiang Li was trusting the Immortal Master too much. Actually, if you think about it carefully, those who become the Ten Yama Kings must have done great good deeds in their lives. How could they not care about the safety of the underworld and start a war there, disrupting the order of reincarnation?

The only possibility is that they are under attack by external forces.

“So how much of what you said about the underworld is true?”

“At least there are really Ten Yama Kings.”

“…Then it’s all fake!” Jiang Li wanted to flip the table. The Immortal Master mentioned the Ten Yama Kings; folklore is everywhere.

“Anyway, the immortals should have found the location of the underworld and sent people to attack it.”

“Isn’t the underworld very dangerous then?” Jiang Li stood up suddenly. The underworld was a matter of life and death for all the heavens and the universe, and it could not afford to lose it.

Immortal Changcun was not at all anxious. “Don’t underestimate the Underworld. While many immortals have chosen to reincarnate, there are also a large number of immortals with hidden merits who remain in the Underworld. From ancient times to the present, the Underworld has accumulated countless immortals. The number of ghost immortals may even outnumber the immortals in the celestial realm. If a war were to break out, the Underworld would have a greater

chance of winning.” “After I deceived you that day, I’ve been observing the newborns in Jiuzhou in recent months. There are no cases of missing souls or having two souls in one body, and no babies have remembered their past lives. This proves that the Underworld is still functioning normally.”

“That’s good.” Jiang Li relaxed. Although the Immortal Weng had lied, he had been very thorough.

“So you don’t have to worry about dying.”

Jiang Li found the Immortal Weng’s words strange.

“Oh, it was a fake death,” Immortal Changcun added.

…

As Jiang Li left Fengji Cave, he encountered someone rarely seen in Dao Sect:

the Confucian leader Dong Zhongren.

“Human Emperor, you’re here!” Dong Zhongren was overjoyed. He had come here to invite Bai Hongtu, but the two had met with their usual sarcastic banter. Dong Zhongren was feeling rather sullen, and hadn’t expected to meet Jiang Li here.

Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the state, and peace in the world. It could be said that the highest aspiration is to bring peace to the world, and no one in their Confucianism has ever achieved this.

Dong Zhongren believed that Jiang Li’s achievement of peace in the world was an unprecedented feat, a sage reincarnated, and he constantly sought to learn from him.

“I came to ask the Immortal Elder something. What’s the matter?”

“Yes, the birthday of Confucianism is coming soon, and our Confucianism would like to hold a grand celebration.”

The founder of Confucianism was Dong Zhongshu, but Confucianism’s teachings were not originally proposed by him. If you truly trace the roots of Confucianism, you can trace them back to the highest echelons of the celestial realm: the Confucian Sage.

It is said that after Dong Zhongshu ascended to the celestial realm, he became a disciple of the Confucian Sage and enjoyed immense fame.

The Great Confucian Calligraphy Copybook was also obtained by Dong Zhongshu from a fellow disciple, and then preserved as a treasure of the Confucianism.

The Confucian Sage was a figure as renowned as the Taoist Patriarch. Given the current state of the immortal realm, he was either dead or had surrendered

to the Heavenly Dao. However, Jiang Li didn’t need to tell Dong Zhongren about this matter.

They should celebrate. The immortal realm couldn’t receive any information from the Nine Provinces anyway. The Confucian Church should be happy on its own, so why spoil their fun?

“Okay, I’m aware of this matter. I’ll visit the Confucian Church.”

Dong Zhongren respectfully handed Jiang Li the invitation and left.

“What’s going on? Are you arguing again?” Jiang Li asked Bai Hongtu, who was hiding nearby, with a smile.

“These are all trivial matters that are not worth mentioning.” Bai Hongtu didn’t want to say much. He and Dong Zhongren were old acquaintances. Five hundred years ago, they were both traveling together. They wanted to compete and suppress each other, so they often fought, with mixed results.

Although the two fought constantly, they still had a good relationship.

However, when the Human Emperor was selected later, Bai Hongtu was chosen by the earth veins and became a candidate for the Human Emperor, but Dong Zhongren was not selected.

Bai Hongtu felt that Dong Zhongren said that he would dedicate himself to the world, but he didn’t mean it in his heart, otherwise why would he not be a candidate for the Human Emperor.

A hypocrite who said one thing and did another.

“Then are you going?”

“Of course I will go. I heard that Confucianism set up a country of gentlemen to celebrate the birthday of Confucianism. I want to go and see what it has become.”

“Don’t mess up.” Jiang Li reminded.

“Look at what you said. When have I ever messed up?”
