Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 516

Chapter 514: Suffering in Hell, Reincarnation in the Animal Realm

“King Yama said that Xumi saved Jiuzhou several times and gained a huge amount of Yin De, but killing nine million people is also a fact, and his karma is equally exaggerated.”

“Yin De and karma cannot be offset, and merits and demerits are counted separately. Xumi needs to endure all kinds of torture in hell as a punishment to resolve his karma before he is qualified to come to the human world.”

“Also, his character is not up to standard. Although he is the only immortal in nine thousand years, he cannot stay in the underworld as a ghost messenger and can only reincarnate in the human world.”

“After hearing this, the Long-browed Buddha asked the underworld if he could suffer on behalf of Xumi and reduce his punishment. The underworld agreed, let the Long-browed Buddha reincarnate in the animal realm, and also told Xumi the news.”

The female ghost explained on the side: “Letting the Long-browed Buddha suffer is not the purpose, and the Long-browed Buddha cannot accept punishment on behalf of Xumi. We let Xumi know that the Long-browed Buddha suffered because of him. This is the purpose.”

“Xumi is being tortured in Hell, physically. Knowing that his master is reincarnated because of him is suffering mentally, physically and mentally, can reduce his time in Hell by half.”

“Whenever Xumi emerges from Hell, Long-Eyebrowed Buddha will be liberated from the cycle of reincarnation in the animal realm.”

“Every time Long-Eyebrowed Buddha dies, we ask him if he wants to continue being eaten by humans as an animal. If he doesn’t want to, he can return to the human realm at any time.”

“But Long-Eyebrowed Buddha always chooses to continue reincarnating in the animal realm, and we always tell Xumi this news, allowing him to continue suffering mentally.”

“Then how long will Old Buddha Xumi have to stay in Hell?” Jiang Li asked.

“Two million years.”

Jiang Li was stunned. “So short?”

Two million years sounds like a lot at first, but Old Buddha Xumi killed nine million people, so two million years is still half the result. In other words, killing one person only requires spending half a year in Hell to eliminate his karma.

“That doesn’t count.” The female ghost pointed out Jiang Li’s misconception. “Xumeru killed people from Tianyuan Imperial City. That place is full of bad guys, and some people deserved to be killed. Killing them, on the other hand, counts towards your Yin De.”

“I see.”

Jiang Li sighed, then looked at Qingluo, the 52nd Human Emperor.

“Qingrenhuang, although I’ve never met you, I can glimpse some of your former charm in the old Dragon King.”

“Old Dragon King? Oh, you mean Ao Yi? What? Is he still imitating me?”

“Yes, he’s not just imitating your behavior, he’s also imitating your cultivation.”

Qingluo was stunned, her beautiful eyes widening. “Did he reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage?”

“This morning.”

“He was with Commander Liu. One broke through the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and the other became an Immortal,” Renhuang Lu complained.

“There’s still a difference of more than an hour between them.”

“Really? Are you trustworthy, boy?” Renhuang Lu looked Jiang Li up and down.

“Senior Lu, you don’t know me yet. When have I ever lied?” Jiang Li said confidently.

“Xiao Lu, that’s your fault. This kid’s obviously an honest person. How could you doubt him?”

“I can read faces. This kid is honest.”

“Xiao Li is a law-abiding person. How could he lie?”

The Human Emperors stood up to defend Jiang Li.

“Nonsense! He and Bai Hongtu never told the truth. When these two were together, you couldn’t trust a single word. Even a single punctuation mark could fool you!”

Emperor Lu still remembered spending the entire night in the Sutra Library searching for “Immortal World Strange Stories” and the Treasure-Gathering Immortal. It would be

fine if these two deceived the Human Emperor candidate, but they even deceived him.

“And you! When did you learn to read faces?” Emperor Lu jumped.

“Alright, alright, Senior Lu, I have some good news for you.”

“What is it?” Emperor Lu angrily turned his head away, refusing to pay any attention to Jiang Li.

“Bai Hongtu has developed a great spiritual plant formation, mobilizing the power of all of Jiuzhou. This will allow him to attain celestial immortal power. Even without my intervention, Jiuzhou won’t have to worry about attacks from earthly immortals.”

Seeing that Lu Renhuang still turned his head away, speechless, Jiang Li approached him and saw that

Lu Renhuang was trying hard to stifle a laugh. Seeing Jiang Li’s face, Lu Renhuang finally managed a chuckle.

Afterward, Lu Renhuang commented with a stern face, “Well, Bai Hongtu is a brilliant guy. He’s finally using his brain for good.”

Yuan Shang praised Bai Hongtu’s efforts: “If I had the great spiritual plant formation in my time, I wouldn’t have feared a mere earthly immortal.”

The other emperors nodded, regretting that their own era lacked a genius like Bai Hongtu.

Only Jiang Li disagreed: “We can’t do it sooner. If the immortal realm knew Jiuzhou had ascended to celestial immortal power, they would focus on us, and we might not be able to survive my arrival.”

Jiang Li was right. If the envoys of the transfer industry knew of Jiuzhou’s great spiritual plant formation, they would raise the danger level even higher, devising other plans and hastening its fall.

Jiang Li stayed with Lu Renhuang for a long time. The other emperors reminisced about the past of Jiuzhou and its glory, then chatted about family matters, the immortal realm, and the Mahayana stage.

“I was wondering why I couldn’t break through to the Mahayana stage. Turns out it was all made up by the Immortal Master.” Yuan Shang slapped his thigh, wanting to talk to the Immortal Master.

“The Immortal Master is really good at making things up. He created this race of extraterritorial demons, and even described how they were born and how they cultivated. It completely blew me away. If the underworld hadn’t told me there were no extraterritorial demons, I would still have believed I killed one!”

The other emperors nodded in agreement. The Immortal Master seemed so affable, but how could he be so deceptive? The entire Jiuzhou had been deceived by the Mahayana stage and the extraterritorial demons for nine thousand years.

Truly, the truth is revealed only when one dies.

Wait, didn’t we just talk about who seemed honest?

After the laughter, Yuan Shang was deeply moved. “It’s not easy for the Immortal Master either. He’s so devotedly fabricating lies, giving us a false hope. Without the Immortal Master, the Nine Provinces would have been destroyed by internal strife alone.”

Yuan Shang felt the most deeply about the situation at that time, knowing that the Immortal Master could only lie.

If he were the Immortal Master, he would never go to such lengths.

“We thought there was hope and kept working hard. The Immortal Old Man knew the truth, but he still gave us hope. No wonder he suddenly aged. Appearance reflects the heart.”

Jiang Li smiled and said, “The Immortal Old Man is much better now. With me, his strongest fighting force, he doesn’t need to fabricate hope anymore, nor does he have to worry about threats from the fairy world. I am the hope of Jiuzhou.”

“Not to mention the resurrection of the Red Dust Fairy, the Immortal Old Man is trying every means to sneak into the Red Dust Pure Land every day.” “

What? The Red Dust Fairy is resurrected?” This is big news. The Red Dust Fairy is known as the incarnation of the beauty of the Heavenly Dao. Now that the Heavenly Dao has developed intelligence, it is inevitable that he will think more.

The female ghost messenger who had been quietly listening to Jiang Li and the elders’ conversation said, “I did hear Daozu talk about the Red Dust Fairy.”

Jiang Li turned his head: “What did Daozu say?”

The female ghost messenger said, “He said that the Heavenly Dao produced spiritual intelligence because all living beings prayed, which opened the eyes of the heavens. The Heavenly Dao responded to the wishes of all living beings and reacted.”

“The Heavenly Dao transformed into many, creating many avatars, representing the beauty of the Heavenly Dao, the power of the Heavenly Dao, the wisdom of the Heavenly Dao, the order of the Heavenly Dao, the enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao, and so on.”

“These avatars walked the world, observing the heavens and the suffering of all living beings up close. The thoughts of these avatars returned to the Heaven, and when the many thoughts merged into one, the Heavenly Dao made a decision, produced spiritual intelligence, and saved the world.” “

Daozu finally said that these are all speculations and may not be correct. Since ancient times, the will of the Heavens has been difficult to question, and the Heavenly Dao also has methods that he cannot understand.”
