Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 522
Chapter 520: I suspect the extraterritorial demon was made up by the immortal
the hall of the Human Emperor Palace by the Immortal Elder.
Commander Liu looked at Bai Hongtu with a complicated expression.
Dressed in mourning, Bai Hongtu wiped away tears and said, “Commander Liu, no one wants to see this happen. Everyone is sad about Jiang Li’s departure, but you shouldn’t be too sad either. Jiuzhou still has me, Bai Hongtu. With the Human Emperor gone, I can reluctantly serve as the Acting Emperor.”
Commander Liu sighed softly.
“Master Bai, I’m not sad. I’m just thinking about where to throw you this time.”
“You come here three times a day, morning, noon, and evening, for a total of nine times. Even mortals don’t eat on time like you.”
“Don’t you get annoyed by me throwing you out every time?”
Bai Hongtu still looked extremely sad and heartbroken. “How could you think that? I’m just worried that Jiang Li will be too lonely after his death. As a good brother, I want to see him off.”
Bai Hongtu took out his suona.
A ghostly whisper rang in Bai Hongtu’s ears: “Let me give you a ride.”
Seeing Jiang Li resurrected, Bai Hongtu was shocked and stepped back repeatedly.
“Let’s go and try the Jiuzhou Spirit Plant Array again.” Jiang Li grabbed Bai Hongtu’s collar and flew up to the sky. Soon, screams were heard.
When Jiang Li stepped into the Human Emperor Palace again, covered in blood, he heard Commander Liu complaining.
“Palace Master, you are finally resurrected. Sect Master Bai Hongtu comes here three times a day. It’s almost annoying me.” During
these three days, Commander Liu felt like he was back to the time when he was a candidate for the Human Emperor more than 300 years ago and was tortured by Bai Hongtu.
The previous Human Emperor candidate election was presided over by the Old Emperor and Commander Liu.
Fortunately, when Bai Hongtu was tossing and turning, Jiang Li lay quietly and did not make trouble.
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then said, “I met with successive Human Emperors in the underworld, including the twenty-seventh.”
“He told me to tell you he’s delighted you’ve been serving the Nine Provinces, serving all the previous Human Emperors, and teaching them the responsibilities of a Human Emperor. Your contributions are greater than his, who only fought a single battle against the extraterritorial demons.” “
So there’s no need to keep blaming yourself for not sacrificing your own life to save him. He passed away peacefully, and lived a fulfilling life in the underworld.”
Commander Liu stood speechless in the center of the Human Emperor Hall for a long time.
Jiang Li patted Commander Liu on the shoulder and flew towards the Buddhist temple.
…
In the Buddhist temple, the sound of Buddhist chants lingered. Wuzhi, with his majestic appearance, sat atop Mount Sumeru, on a lotus platform, lecturing on scriptures.
The Arhat Bodhisattva sat cross-legged, hands clasped together, listening to Wuzhi’s words.
“…With compassion and good deeds, I vow to save all living beings. With the golden tin in my hand, I shake open the gates of hell…”
In Jiang Li’s eyes, Wuzhi’s figure gradually merged with that of the Sumeru Buddha.
“Wuzhi has made further progress in Buddhism.” Brahma Tower silently appeared beside Jiang Li, boasting about Wuzhi’s achievements.
Jiang Li glanced at it, “What does it have to do with you? It’s like you taught him.”
Brahma Tower became anxious, “What are you saying? As Wuzhi’s protector, how can his current achievements have nothing to do with me?”
Jiang Li ignored it and continued to observe Wuzhi.
Knowing Wuzhi’s relationship with Daozu, the previous events became clear.
Wuzhi’s soul was powerful, and he bore numerous scars, likely the result of a battle between Daozu and the Heavenly Dao.
Suddenly, a thought struck Jiang Li, and his expression grew strange.
“Could these scars have been inflicted by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument?”
Jiang Li felt very likely.
The injuries were all caused by one of their own people.
Jiang Li stood in the last row, listening quietly until noon. Wuzhi stopped chanting.
The young novice monk and the young nun were not yet at the peak of their cultivation and needed to eat.
The monks then noticed Jiang Li standing in the last row and clasped their hands in prayer, “Amitabha.”
Wuzhi smiled with joy upon seeing Jiang Li and quickly walked over.
“Human Emperor.”
“Buddha Lord.”
Jiang Li was meeting Buddha Lord Wuzhi, not the Human Emperor candidate.
“Have any new memories surfaced recently?”
Wuzhi said solemnly, “Yes. I was just about to discuss this with the Human Emperor. Human Emperor, please come this way.”
Wuzhi led Jiang Li and Brahma Pagoda to a stone wall, where a silhouette of a figure was visible. This was originally where the old Buddha Xumi meditated on the Dharma. The old Buddha had sat there for so long that his shadow had been imprinted on the wall.
Now, this was where Wuzhi meditated on the Dharma.
“Before, I always thought there was something wrong with the Immortal Master Changcun. Now I finally understand why.”
“I know the Human Emperor trusts the Immortal Master, so perhaps he doesn’t believe me. Human Emperor, please listen to me explain the reason.”
“Go ahead.” Jiang Li sat down, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for Wuzhi to sit down as well, telling him not to be nervous.
Wuzhi sat down and said, “Although I can’t recall who I was in my previous life, I’ve recalled a lot of common sense about the immortal world. I’ve discovered that there are no extraterritorial demons. The so-called extraterritorial demons are most likely fabricated by the Immortal Master!”
“The Immortal Master has deceived the Nine Provinces for nine thousand years. He must have a hidden secret!”
“It’s okay if the Human Emperor doesn’t believe me. I just hope he’ll be more cautious of the Immortal Master in the future.”
Jiang Li pursed his lips, looking at Wuzhi’s serious expression, unsure what expression to express.
Fighting back a smile, Jiang Li explained the events of nine thousand years ago.
“With something like this happening nine thousand years ago, it’s no wonder the Immortal Master fabricated the story of the extraterritorial demons. I’ve wrongly accused him.”
“There’s one more thing I should know,”
Jiang Li recounted his experiences in the underworld and the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor.
“What? I’m the Daoist Ancestor?” Wuzhi didn’t feel relaxed or happy, but instead tensed up.
There are countless legends about Daozu, claiming he’s practically omnipotent. It’s entirely possible he could reincarnate and replace himself, living another life.
“No, you were Daozu in your previous life, and you are you.”
“You’ve awakened so many memories. Have you ever shown any signs of becoming Daozu? No, right?”
“This proves you and Daozu are different.”
“Hou Tu Huang only said Daozu wouldn’t replace him. As your cultivation continues to improve, Daozu will separate from your soul using the Three Corpses Slashing Technique.”
“You are you, Daozu is Daozu. You two are different entities.”
Wuzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Jiang Li was about to say something, the remote communication talisman lit up.
It was Yu Yin’s, and the voice of Ruyi Gourd echoed from the other side.
“Human Emperor, this is bad! Please save our master!” Ruyi Gourd pleaded with Jiang Li.
“What happened to Yu Yin?” Jiang Li abruptly stood up. Could it be that a fallen immortal had circumvented the blockade of the Nine Provinces’ protective formation and infiltrated the Nine Provinces?
“The master tried to merge the Daoist painting world with the Confucianist ‘words and laws follow’. The master succeeded and was able to enter the world of books, but now there’s a problem.”
“The master entered the world of novels and hasn’t come out for a long time.”
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow: “Which novel did she enter?” “
‘The Tyrant Mahayana Falls in Love with Me’. The master and the Pure Heart Saint entered together.”
Jiang Li had a feeling that things were going to be very troublesome.
