Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 513

Chapter 511 This Golden Immortal Can’t Stand a Fight

Jiang Li hadn’t expected the Underworld to make it clear to these undead souls that reincarnation into the Immortal Realm was impossible. The Immortal Realm no longer had the conditions for mortals to live, and there would be no more newborns.

But some souls wouldn’t listen.

For them, reincarnation into the Immortal Realm meant a meteoric rise to prominence, a place at the center of all realms. Even if they were both Qi Condensation cultivators, how could ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators compare to those in the Immortal Realm?

They had done good deeds their entire lives, and this rare opportunity to be reborn was a rare one. How could they not seize it?

“How long have they been waiting here?”

“Some have just died, while others have waited for thousands of years.”

The female ghost officer pointed at the recently deceased ghosts, still confident that they would soon be reincarnated into the Immortal Realm. Those who had waited for thousands of years, however, looked distraught and unwilling to see anyone.

“The underworld persuaded them not to waste their energy and to choose to reincarnate in the human world so that they could be born into wealthy families in the next few lives. Some people listened to them, while some chose to stay here. Otherwise, you would have seen more ghosts today than you have now.”

Jiang Li couldn’t understand the thoughts of these ghosts, so he found a ghost who had just died a few years ago: “My ghost brother, reincarnation in the human world and becoming a cultivator is also an excellent choice. Why don’t you reincarnate in the human world?”

The other party chuckled: “Can you become an immortal by reincarnating in the human world? As a righteous cultivator, I have done good deeds all my life, but the heavens have not bestowed any merit. I have average talent and can only cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Without merit to improve my cultivation, I would die at the age of a thousand.” “

It’s not easy to settle the bad karma in the underworld and go to the fairyland in the next life. Naturally, I can’t miss this opportunity. The fairyland is a place where there are natural treasures everywhere. Even a blade of grass pulled out by the roadside is a thousand-year-old elixir. Wouldn’t it be easy to become an immortal in the fairyland?”

“But now the Immortal Realm wants to destroy the myriad worlds. There will be no more newborns in the Immortal Realm. Your waiting here is in vain.”

The other person extended her index finger and gently shook it. “It’s hard to say. Perhaps a celestial being will form a couple and give birth to a child. It hasn’t happened before, so can you guarantee it won’t happen again?”

“Or perhaps the Heavenly Dao will change its mind and stop destroying the myriad worlds, allowing the Immortal Realm to recover. Everything is unknown.”

Jiang Li was about to say something when the female ghost whispered in his ear, “Give up. It’s been a long time since anyone ascended from their world. The legends of their world have always said that the Immortal Realm is a beautiful place, the ultimate pursuit. Given such an opportunity, he won’t give up so easily. Perhaps in a few hundred years, he’ll face reality and join the human world, or maybe he’ll stay here like those rotten trees.”

The rotten trees the female ghost was referring to were the ghosts who had waited here for thousands of years.

Jiang Li went to ask the ghosts who had been waiting here for thousands of years.

The other party had a distracted look on his face, but when he saw the new ghost, his eyes focused and he showed a hint of sneer: “Newcomers, wait in line at the back, I am number 50 now. Once there is any change in the fairy world, I will be the first to reincarnate.”

The female ghost said: “These people have waited too long, and perhaps they want to give up, but they think giving up is too much of a loss, so they become the ghosts they are now.”

“By the way, I, King Yama, mentioned Hou Tu Huang Zhi just now. I wonder who this Hou Tu Huang Zhi is?” The Immortal Changcun only talked about the Ten Kings of Hell and did not mention the name Hou Tu Huang Zhi.

“Hou Tu Huang was the first being in the world to master the laws of reincarnation. She became the Immortal Queen of Hunyuan Wuliang and voluntarily died. Relying on the laws of reincarnation, she established the Underworld, established its order, and refined immortal artifacts such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stele and the Three Lives Stone, keeping it in good order. The deceased’s reincarnation as a human or an animal is determined by their good deeds.”

“The Ten Yama Kings were all Golden Immortals in the immortal world during their lifetime. Some of them served as officials in Heaven, managed by the Immortal Emperor, while others lived a leisurely life like idle clouds and wild cranes.”

“Some were executed by the Immortal Emperor, some were killed by their enemies, and all came to the Underworld. They had accumulated a lot of good deeds and chose to stay there, becoming the top ghost immortals in the underworld.”

“With the Ten Yama Kings managing the Underworld, Hou Tu Huang gradually retreated behind the scenes and no longer managed the affairs.”

“Where does good deeds come from? Why can you gain merit by killing people, but not hidden virtue?”

“Merit is the authority of the Heavenly Dao, while hidden virtue comes from the rules of reincarnation. The two have different sources, and the methods of obtaining them are also different.”

“The Heavenly Dao generates intelligence and changes, and the methods of gaining merit also change. Yin De, on the other hand, originates from the cycle of life and death. It’s a law. If the law remains unchanged, the rules for distributing Yin De will not change.”

The female ghost officer scanned the souls of the Heavenly Dao and said with a smile, “Come to think of it, there aren’t any people from your Nine Provinces here.”

“Oh, why is that?” Jiang Li hadn’t noticed. He couldn’t tell which souls were from Nine Provinces and which weren’t.

“Because you people from Nine Provinces learned the truth about the outer demons in the underworld and became hostile to the immortal world. Your Nine Provinces has the most people eligible to reincarnate into the Heavenly Dao, especially in the last few hundred years. However, none of them chose to wait in the Heavenly Dao area. Without hesitation, they all reincarnated into the Human Dao.”

“I will ask you again today: has anyone chosen to go to the Human Dao?” King Chujiang’s voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Dao area, and Jiang Li heard it most clearly.

King Chujiang was standing behind Jiang Li.

Seeing no response, King Chujiang was not surprised. He looked at Jiang Li with interest.

The King of Chujiang was a wizened old man, his back hunched.

“Are you the legendary Jiang Li?”

“This is the King of Chujiang, in charge of the Celestial Dao area,” the female ghost introduced.

“Dragon?” Jiang Li noticed scales on King Chujiang’s neck and the backs of his hands.

“No, I’m a Qilin, the original Qilin.” King Chujiang grinned, revealing only a few remaining teeth.

“As I age, I’m always looking for excitement. I’ve heard of the unrivaled Jiang Renhuang. Will you exchange a few moves with me?”

Before Jiang Li could speak, King Chujiang transformed into a golden Qilin, awe-inspiring. The contradictory auras of ferocity and auspiciousness merged within him. The power of a Golden Immortal enveloped the Celestial Dao area, and his aura far surpassed Bai Xueling’s Qilin clone.

No one who saw him would ever associate him with the wizened old man.

King Chujiang’s voice thundered, emitting Nanming Lihuo. “Let me see if you are the one Daozu spoke of. Are you truly as powerful as the legends say? No need to hold back, I am a Golden Immortal!”

Its hooves stomped the sky, its feet treading on auspicious clouds. Thunder roared between its antlers, its bright and upright demeanor arousing hope. It’s said that seeing a Qilin in this posture brings good fortune.

Jiang Li, mindful of the underworld’s territory, had to give the other party some respect and cautiously punched King Chujiang in the face.

King Chujiang spun in the air, then collapsed to the ground.

“…Is he alright?” Jiang Li said, a little worried. He hadn’t exerted any strength yet, and this Golden Immortal wasn’t much stronger than a Celestial Immortal.

“He’s fine, he’s not nearly dead yet.” The ghost girl barely cared about King Chujiang. “Where else are you going?”

“To the human area.”
