Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 453

Chapter 451 Don’t Take Emperor Jiang as Your Dharmakaya

. Jiang Li had never known the Dharmakaya Sect before. His knowledge of it mostly revolved around the honest Li Er and the Cuju team that played soccer in space. He even thought the Dharmakaya Sect was quite respectable compared to Bai Hongtu.

Seeing them today, he felt his previous understanding was superficial. The members of the Dharmakaya Sect were willing to contribute, even using their own tragic experiences to serve as a warning to those who came after them.

Jiang Li was impressed.

“But with the atmosphere of the Dharmakaya Sect, can coming here and studying really help me learn how to achieve Divine Transformation?”

Jiang Li felt he couldn’t do it.

Jiang Li’s biggest gain was learning the precautions for using his own image as a Dharmakaya.

“The system timeline should be able to do it, otherwise the system wouldn’t have issued this task.”

“The system timeline me is truly a prodigy.” Jiang Li conceded.

He still had no idea how to break through to the Divine Transformation stage. He tried to compress his power to that level, but to no avail. The system remained silent, refusing to acknowledge him as a Divine Transformation stage member.

Indeed, although his power was compressed, his realm remained the Mahayana stage.

“A system with a stubborn mind.”

Jiang Li arrived at the sixth floor of the Sutra Library. The collection began with the experiences of those who had reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, and countless immortal manuscripts were included.

As one of the six major sects, the Dharmakaya Sect had a deep ties to the immortal realm, so it was normal for it to have a large number of immortal manuscripts.

The Dharmakaya Sect’s parent, known in the immortal realm as the Dharmakaya Immortal Sect, advocated self-reliance, without the need for external aid. Because of this philosophy, the Dharmakaya Immortal Sect did not grant the Dharmakaya Sect immortal artifacts.

However, Jiang Li learned the real reason from Immortal Elder Changcun: the Dharmakaya Immortal Sect had few skilled in refining artifacts, and they were unwilling to enlist the help of others. As a result, the number of immortal artifacts they produced was very small, and of low quality, making them embarrassed to give to the lower realm sects. Their external justification was that the lower realm sects needed to learn to be independent and not rely on immortal artifacts.

Jiang Li had borrowed some immortal notes before, but now felt no need to reread them. Most of them described how, after achieving immortality, one could wield various immortal beasts and artifacts as Dharmakāya, wielding immense power. These notes didn’t offer much reference value to Jiang Li.

Even the Dharmakāya sect couldn’t employ the Daoist ancestor as a Dharmakāya, so learning from their experience was useless.

Instead, a volume on cultivation experiences during the Tribulation Crossing stage caught his attention.

“Experiences of Failed Condensation of Jiang Renhuang’s Dharmakāya – Li Er”

Li Nian’er also craned her neck curiously to see what her father had written. Her current ambition was to transform Jiang Li into a deity.

“Jiang Renhuang broke through to the Mahayana stage, which is really amazing. After breaking through, he explained to us how to break through the Mahayana stage. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand. Perhaps if I use Jiang Renhuang’s image as my Dharma body,

I can improve my strength even more.” “4500th year of the Yan calendar, first attempt: It seems to work. I successfully condensed a Dharma body in the prototype of Jiang Renhuang. It is extremely powerful. Even if I fight with Commander Liu, I have confidence in victory. It’s too early to be happy. This is just a prototype. If I condense a Dharma body exactly the same as Jiang Renhuang, wouldn’t I be able to borrow more power from Jiang Renhuang?” “

4520th year of the Yan calendar, second attempt: Jiang Renhuang’s prototype is getting more and more solid, and I can borrow more and more power. I borrowed so much power, but Jiang Renhuang didn’t feel anything at all. It’s really terrifying. I don’t know how much power is hidden in his body. Perhaps only such a person can protect Jiuzhou.”

“4530th year of the Yan calendar, third attempt: Only three steps away from success.”

“4540th year of the Yan calendar, fourth attempt: Only two steps away from success.”

“Yanli Year 4550, Fifth Attempt: Success is just one step away. When I successfully condense Emperor Jiang Ren’s Dharmakaya, I’ll become the second most powerful being in Jiuzhou.”

“Yanli Year 4560, Sixth Attempt: Success is still three steps away… Wait, why am I getting further and further away?”

“Yanli Year 4570, Seventh Attempt: This isn’t an illusion. The Dharmakaya I’m condensing is becoming increasingly abstract.”

Jiang Li noticed a painting next to the seventh attempt. The painting depicted Emperor Jiang Ren’s Dharmakaya, which was distorted. Jiang Li looked left and right, but nothing matched his own.

“…Is Li Er’s painting skills so poor?”

Jiang Li recalled the Yunshui Secret Realm, where Li Er had demonstrated exceptional painting skills in the Painting Immortal test.

In other words, the Dharmakaya Li Er condensed into Emperor Jiang Ren’s Dharmakaya was truly ugly.

…

“Year 4700 of the Yanli calendar, the sixteenth attempt: It’s over, it has nothing to do with Emperor Jiang Ren. The more I observe Emperor Jiang Ren, the more unfathomable I feel. He has tens of millions of images, each representing a different power and identity, as if he has transformed into thousands of incarnations, each of which is a supreme being. It is too difficult to integrate tens of thousands of images into one Dharma body.”

“This reminds me of the legendary Buddha. I heard that the big guy also has tens of millions of images, but that big guy is the image of all living beings, and this one of Emperor Jiang Ren… is called the image of a strong man?”

As time went by and the number of attempts increased, the Dharma body condensed by Li Er became more and more abstract. It didn’t look like Jiang Li, but rather like an indescribable monster.

“I won’t try. There’s no chance of success.”

“Why was I so close to success at first, but then it got further and further away?”

“Perhaps it’s because after Jiang Renhuang reached the Mahayana stage, his cultivation continued to improve. The speed at which I could condense my Dharmakaya couldn’t keep up with his. Eventually, his cultivation reached a level I couldn’t comprehend, causing my condensation to fail.”

“While this speculation is reasonable, it doesn’t seem realistic. The Mahayana stage is ultimately a realm comparable to Earthly Immortals. With a bit of audacity, one could rival Celestial Immortals. This shouldn’t happen.”

“There must be other reasons. I asked Immortal Changcun, but he couldn’t give me an answer.”

“If anyone sees this book later, remember not to try to use Jiang Renhuang as your Dharmakaya. It’s a waste of time.”

Jiang Li closed the book with a strange look on his face.

Li Nian’er gave up the idea of transforming Uncle Jiang into a god.

Even her father, who was in the Tribulation Crossing stage, couldn’t use Uncle Jiang as his Dharmakaya. Wouldn’t she, who was so ignorant as to try to do so, become an unspeakable monster?

She felt distressed. Such a good idea was rejected. What was she supposed to become a god?

“Let’s go and see the elders of the Dharmakaya Sect.” Jiang Li shook his head. If Li Er could use his own image as a Dharmakaya, he would certainly welcome it, as it meant that he could lend Li Er power.

If Li Er could succeed, Jiang Li even wanted everyone in Jiuzhou to learn the Dharmakaya and use themselves as the Dharmakaya.

Given the current situation, that seemed impossible.

“Okay, the elders are over there.” Li Nian’er wanted to learn from the elders. They were all in the Fusion Stage, incredibly powerful, and each had their own secret weapon. The worst one was only average for a Fusion Stage cultivator.

The elders also had extremely high attainments in the Dharmakaya. Now, with increased communication with other worlds, the elders had new ideas about the Dharmakaya. Li Nian’er felt that with luck, she could gain inspiration from them.
