Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 529

Chapter 527 There is a sentence that specifically describes the busyness of Emperor Jiang

Ren. As Changcun Immortal Weng watched Ji Zhi’s lively conversation, he naturally thought of the Great Zhou.

If there was a place that most blatantly violated the law of the jungle, it was the Great Zhou.

Emperor Shun established the direction and the means of governing the nation from the outset, with a clear intention: to establish a state ruled by law.

The founding of the Great Zhou overturned the beliefs of countless cultivators, who believed that Emperor Shun’s actions could not last.

Facts proved that Emperor Shun was truly the cultivator most proficient in the ways of time. The Great Zhou boasted a long history and formidable power, especially during Ji Zhi’s generation, who propelled it to its pinnacle.

Jiang Li’s actions implicitly aligned with the laws of the Great Zhou. With Jiang Li as his role model, the Nine Provinces were moving closer to the laws. While

the Great Zhou of the past adhered to the laws, its core was still based on the principle of the powerful ruling the weak.

In Jiang Li’s words, the Great Zhou of the past was known as the rule of law, while the current Great Zhou is known as the rule of law.

“Does Emperor Shun know the eight great rules?” Changcun Immortal Weng asked.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded thirty thousand years ago. Immortal Elder Changcun had come into contact with Emperor Shun, but the emperor was so secretive that the immortal elder could not fathom his intentions.

He dared not be arrogant before Emperor Shun. His lifespan, cultivation, and qualifications meant nothing to beings in the vast river of time.

“Here is the list of those who will be participating in the exchange program. Take a look.” Ji Zhi produced a piece of paper with the cultivation and experience of several students and teachers, most of whom specialized in law.

This was Yu Yin’s request; she felt the Tianyuan Dynasty needed a thorough overhaul.

“I believe you.” Yu Yin knew Ji Zhi’s character.

They sat together and chatted for a long time, while the new historian quickly recorded the events. Jiang Li paid no attention to what he wrote.

In the end, the immortal elder returned to Dao Sect, and Saint Jingxin, worried about the restless Fairy Hongchen, also returned to the Pure Land of the Red Dust.

“Your Majesty, it’s almost time. The Jiuzhou Weapon Refining Competition is about to begin,” a palace maid whispered.

“Is this weapon refining competition being held in the Tianyuan Dynasty?” Bai Hongtu hadn’t paid much attention to such competitions. In the past, it was Tang Ben, head of the Weapon Refining Peak, who participated, so he stayed out of the way.

“Luban Sect’s home turf,” Yu Yin replied briefly, saying goodbye to Jiang Li and the others before heading to the Luban Sect.

After Yu Yin left, Jiang Li scratched his chin and casually asked, “I’m going to participate in the weapon refining competition. Are you two coming?”

Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi both looked at each other with great interest.

“I’ll go, but Ji Zhi doesn’t have to go. You should practice diligently. You’re only in the early stages of fusion, and you’re still a long way from transcending the tribulation. Why aren’t you practicing?” Bai Hongtu habitually teased Ji Zhi.

“Practice requires a balance between effort and relaxation. Your family practices 365 days a year?” Ji Zhi retorted bluntly to Bai Hongtu.

Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed. He practiced all the time, anywhere. Was he too busy?

“You’re so proud of yourself for creating a large spiritual plant formation! You can’t even defeat Jiang Li, how dare you come out and play? If I were you, I’d have been in seclusion long ago!”

Ji Zhi finished speaking, then realized the old historian, who recorded every word and action, was nearby. He quickly said, “Don’t record this.”

The old historian replied, “Your Majesty, as a historian, I must record your every word and action verbatim.”

Ji Zhi was helpless. The old historian was good in every way, except for being his historian.

Ji Zhi saw that the Great Master Si Nan of the Mahayana Sect had written about Sect Master Bai Hongtu discussing cultivation with His Majesty. Whether daily practice was better or a combination of work and rest was more efficient, they hadn’t reached a conclusion. The Human Emperor observed quietly, smiling silently, clearly having already formed an answer.

“…”

Ji Zhi suspected that those unofficial histories were likely written by someone like Si Nan.

Normally, Jiang Li wouldn’t participate in a competition where the highest level was only at the Fusion Stage. He had proposed participating in the Jiuzhou Weapon Refining Competition because the system had issued a task.

[Quest: The Jiuzhou Weapon Refining Competition is about to begin. The host’s weapon refining skills are superb, but they’ve never had the opportunity to showcase them. Rumors have long circulated among the Jiuzhou cultivators that the host can’t master everything. Human energy is limited, and each field is like a mountain between two worlds. Even if the host has a natural talent for cultivation, excels in using various weapons, and is skilled in alchemy, talismans, and formations, they still can’t refine weapons.]

[Please win first place in the weapon refining competition.]

[This mission is unforgivable.]

[Quest Rewards: One chance to enchant a puppet, “Weapon Maintenance Guide,” and one drop of Taiyi True Water.]

Jiang Li looked at the opportunity to enchant a puppet, then thought of the idle Jiang Li’s personality. He remained silent. He had a rough idea of what the system reward was for.

Idle Jiang Li probably didn’t even let go of weapons.

The number of female cultivators he had romantic relationships with far exceeded the ones he had seen in his dreams.

…

Jiang Li brought Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi to the Luban Sect, where they encountered a variety of beauties. With

so many beautiful female cultivators wandering around the Luban Sect, ordinary cultivators couldn’t tell if they were living or puppets.

“Hiss—it’s been a while since I last saw them, and the Luban Sect’s puppets have become even more agile,” Ji Zhi sighed.

It was a good thing the Luban Sect hadn’t come to their Great Zhou. Otherwise, just the legislation alone would have been enough of a headache for them.

“Speaking of which, the Hehuan Sect has several Luban Sect puppets that entertain guests. They’re incredibly lifelike. Have you heard of them?”

Seeing the two’s bewildered expressions, Bai Hongtu shook his head. “It’s obvious you don’t care about the Hehuan Sect.”

Besides the beautiful puppets, the three also encountered many weapon-refining masters, all skilled individuals who had forged Dao weapons.

“How are your two weapon-

refining skills?” Jiang Li asked. “Only slightly worse than Tang Ben’s, barely second in Jiuzhou,” Bai Hongtu said modestly. Tang Ben was the head of the Weapon Refining Peak.

“Average, but better than you anyway,” Ji Zhi said to Jiang Li.

Just then, two cultivators happened to pass by, discussing Jiang Li.

“It was a truly rewarding experience to meet Empress Yuyin.”

“I didn’t get to meet Emperor Jiang Ren, though. His weapon-refining skills are truly exceptional. If he could demonstrate them to us, I’d be so happy I’d wake up laughing in my dreams.”

“Emperor Jiang is so busy, how could we possibly see him here? I heard he’s been busy with something big lately.”

“What big thing?”

the man asked mysteriously. “Emperor Jiang wants to refine the entire Kyushu Continent into an immortal artifact to protect it.”

“I see. No wonder he hasn’t come here. He’s too busy.”

The two praised Emperor Jiang’s great achievement.

Jiang Li was speechless. Refining the entire Kyushu Continent was beyond the capability of ten Tang Bens.

He couldn’t help but interrupt, “Didn’t you ever doubt that Emperor Jiang couldn’t do it?”

The two young cultivators were displeased. “You must not know Emperor Jiang. What can’t he do?”

“Emperor Jiang is so busy, so consumed by the Kyushu, and yet you’re still just skeptical of him, saying he’s only good at fighting.”

Bai Hongtu laughed. “Is Jiang Li really busy?”

“Of course. Did you know there’s a saying that specifically describes Emperor Jiang’s busyness?”

“What is it?”

“Emperor Jiang has passed by the Emperor’s Palace three times without entering.”
