Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 533

Chapter 531: Yugong Moves the Mountain, Touching Emperor Jiang

“Master, can this thing be considered a weapon?” The young cultivator looked at Jiang Li in confusion, unsure of the purpose of the object in his hand.

“Of course, as the saying goes, the best strategy is to attack the enemy’s mind, and attacking the enemy’s heart is the best strategy. This is my strategy to attack the enemy’s heart. Go ahead, and remember, in a match, your mind comes first. Only by maintaining composure can you have a chance of victory.”

“Where’s your weapon?” the opposing young cultivator

asked in confusion. The young cultivator said stubbornly, “You’ll know when we fight.”

The two began to fight.

During the fight, the young cultivator felt the outcome was uncertain. Following Jiang Li’s instructions, he produced a small iron box and pressed the black button.

An emotionless voice emanated from the box: “I surrender, I surrender, I surrender… “

The opponent, assuming this was a sign of surrender, unconsciously slowed his attacks.

The young cultivator seized his opportunity and gained the upper hand.

“Referee, he’s already surrendered, and he’s still hitting me!” the opponent raged.

The referee came to investigate and discovered that the weapons were speaking, not the young cultivator’s intentions. He allowed them to continue fighting.

“I surrender, I surrender…”

The emotionless and repetitive voice infuriated the opponent, making it impossible to focus on the fight and constantly losing ground, unable to turn the tide.

Jiang Li’s young cultivator silently chanted a calming mantra, finding inner peace.

He discovered that when he was calm, he felt a true difference. His thoughts were much sharper, and the opponent’s movements became clearer.

“Weaknesses everywhere.”

He found one and attacked without hesitation.

The two were equally powerful, but one’s mentality was unbalanced, while the other’s composure was unwavering. The balance of power was determined by which side the victory would tip.

The young cultivator representing Jiang Li won.

The second round concluded, with half the participants eliminated.

Yu Yin, seeing Jiang Li and the other three successfully advance, silently sighed in regret.

“The third round will be held elsewhere.”

With a wave of his hand, Yu Yin swept everyone away, flying to a remote location in the Tianyuan Empire.

After a day of competition, it was already night.

The group came upon a small village, where life was simple and surrounded by mountains.

Yu Yin said calmly, “The villagers are all mortals, facing various difficulties in life. Considering the varying levels of cultivation among the weapon refiners participating in the third round, you will need to use weapon refinement techniques that don’t exceed the Foundation Establishment stage to help them solve their problems. You may not use mana. The person who solves the most problems will be the winner.”

“Teams are free to form for this competition.”

“The time limit is five days.”

After announcing the rules, Yu Yin disappeared.

“Shall we team up with three?” Jiang Li suggested.

Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi reluctantly agreed.

“Where are you from?” the village chief asked, frowning as he saw Jiang Li and his group approaching.

“Village chief, we are from the Great Zhou Dynasty, cultivators passing through here. We’d like to stay for a few days. We’ll pay you.”

Hearing that they were cultivators from the Great Zhou Dynasty, the village chief felt reassured. A Great Zhou cultivator was trustworthy. He waved his hand, “No need for money. You won’t have anywhere to spend it. The village can still support you.”

Jiang Li and the others thanked the village chief.

“Village Chief, do you have any problems you need solved?”

“It’s been so hot lately. Even with a towel, I still can’t fall asleep at night. If I can’t sleep, I feel listless during the day and can’t work.”

Bai Hongtu spoke up first, “That’s easy. I’ll tell you a ghost story. Afterward, you’ll feel cold all over, and you’ll be able to fall asleep.”

“I’m an expert at telling ghost stories.”

Jiang Li pushed Bai Hongtu aside. “Logically, shouldn’t you think of refining air conditioners and electric fans first? Why did you think of telling ghost stories first?”

Ji Zhi was indeed reliable. He had refined an air conditioner powered by spiritual energy and presented it to the village chief.

The integration of immortal cultivation and technology is currently in the exploratory stage, and this air conditioner is a product of that exploration.

“Looks like I can get a good night’s sleep tonight,” the village chief said happily.

“This air conditioner is only useful in this small village. Elsewhere, there’s no need for air conditioning. Cooling talismans will do the trick,” Bai Hongtu complained, feeling that this challenge had limited his talents.

Refrigeration talismans are considered elementary talismans. Automated production of elementary talismans has now reached a significant scale, and the price is affordable enough for ordinary people.

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Jiang Li and the other two went to the next house to deliver an air conditioner.

“Auntie, besides the hot weather, have you encountered any other problems lately?”

“Yes, my child doesn’t like exercise, and I told him to lose weight, but he won’t listen.”

“He’ll be obedient after a spanking,” Bai Hongtu said.

Ji Zhi glanced at him. “Jiang Li has spanked you so many times, and you haven’t been quiet.”

Bai Hongtu argued confidently, “This proves that I have a strong willpower and am not easily disturbed by external forces.”

“…Incredible.”

“I have an idea.” Bai Hongtu rolled up his sleeves and began to refine a magical treasure on the spot.

“What the hell did you refine?”

Jiang Li saw Bai Hongtu had crafted a large iron cage with moving tracks underneath.

“Put their child in the cage, lock the door, turn the tracks, force him to exercise, and don’t let him out until he completes his daily goal.”

Bai Hongtu was a little dissatisfied with his refined magical treasure.

“The iron cage should be electrified so that the child won’t lie in it and slack off.”

“If this iron cage of yours appears in our Great Zhou, I will charge you with abuse.”

“Why doesn’t the child want to exercise?” Jiang Li felt that he had to find a solution on his own.

The old lady sighed, “He thinks losing weight doesn’t matter. There are more girls than boys in the village, so even if he gets fat, he won’t have to worry about finding a wife.”

“Isn’t he afraid that the girls in the village will go out?”

“No, our village is isolated from the outside world. Even if they go out, they’ll be in the dark and at a loss. In the end, they’ll have to return to the village.”

“I originally wanted to go out and make a living, but as soon as I got there, I was cheated out of all my money and sold as a laborer. After three months of labor, I found an opportunity to escape and came back here. I gave up the idea of leaving the village.”

Ji Zhi held his forehead with his hand. The public security in the Tianyuan Dynasty was hard to describe.

“In fact, everyone in the village is discussing whether to move the mountain and build a road to communicate with the outside world.”

“Move the mountain?” Jiang Li found it amusing.

“Haven’t you heard the story of Yugong moving the mountain? It was told by Emperor Jiang, and I thought you outsiders all knew it.”

“Emperor Jiang said that Yugong kept moving the mountain, and that his descendants would continue to do so, and one day the mountain would be moved away. The Immortal Emperor was deeply moved and sent immortals to move the mountain away.”

“Although we don’t have an Immortal Emperor now, we have Emperor Jiang.”

“As long as we keep moving the mountain and move Emperor Jiang with our perseverance, he will send cultivators to help us move the mountain.”

“By the way, can you help me move the mountain?”
