Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 542

Chapter 540 Monster Q&A

“Third question: Emperor Jiang’s art of taming beasts is unparalleled, surpassing both ancient and modern times. He considers the world his ‘beasts.’ Which edition of ‘The Legend of Emperor Jiang’ comes from?”

“The author of this edition of ‘The Legend of Emperor Jiang’ is Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai is a pen name; his real name is unknown.”

Jiang Li was bewildered. He asked three questions, all of which concerned him. Was this a quiz on taming beasts or a quiz on Jiang Li?

Crucially, he didn’t know any of them.

He quietly asked the cultivator who answered the first question correctly, “What kind of magical power is this ‘Human Emperor in Heaven’? Why have I never heard of it?”

This person could then advance to the second level and had the leisure to answer Jiang Li’s questions.

“Brother, you still know too little about the Human Emperor. Everyone knows that ‘Human Emperor in Heaven’ is the unique magical power of ‘Jiang Li Human Emperor Jin’.”

“‘Jiang Li Human Emperor Jin’ is divided into three stages, corresponding to ‘Human Emperor in Heaven’: Minor Success, Intermediate Success, and Great Success.”

“When practicing the Minor Success level of ‘Human Emperor in Heaven’, one can faintly hear the voice of Jiang Ren Huang. At the Intermediate Success level, not only does Jiang Ren Huang’s voice appear, but a blurry phantom of Jiang Ren Huang’s face is summoned.”

“The most powerful is the Great Success level, where Jiang Ren Huang’s voice appears and a clear phantom of Jiang Ren Huang is summoned. Even the countless immortals and Buddhas would be unable to withstand this attack. It is truly an invincible magical power.”

“However, so far, the dragon clan has only cultivated to the Minor Success level of ‘Human Emperor in Heaven’.”

Jiang Li nodded, finally correlating the content of ‘Jiang Li Human Emperor Jin’ with the text.

He had previously helped the South China Sea Dragon King annotate ‘Jiang Li Human Emperor Jin’ and knew the magical powers that would be achieved upon successful practice, but he didn’t know what they were called.

Jiang Li returned to answering the questions with full concentration.

Bipolar said calmly: “Sixth question: What is the first thing a monster does after transforming?”

“Get familiar with the body.”

“Wrong.”

“Put on clothes.”

“Correct.”

“Seventh question: Bai Ze’s bloodline makes Bai Ze almost omniscient, but Bai Ze is not omniscient. Please tell me three things that Bai Ze doesn’t know.”

“The lair of the extraterritorial demon, how to practice in the Mahayana period, and how powerful is Jiang Renhuang.”

“Correct answer.”

“Eighth question: If you meet a cockroach, how should you treat it?”

“Take good care of it, help it find its family, and reunite the family.” The respondent felt that this was the Beast Taming Sect, so the attitude towards monsters and insects should be protective.

“Wrong.”

“Just kill it.”

“Wrong.”

“Help it find its family, kill them all, and reunite the family.”

“Correct answer.”

“Question 9: There are many intercourses between monsters, resulting in many monsters in the heavens and all worlds that have never been officially named. If you encounter a monster you have never seen before, how would you name it?”

“Name it after yourself.”

Bipolar glanced at the answerer and asked, “What’s your name?”

The answerer thought he was being treated by the high-level members of the Beast Taming Sect, and answered excitedly: “My name is Huang Jia.”

“If you find an unknown monster, then this monster will be the Huang Jia beast. In the future, everyone will point at this monster and say, look, this is the Huang Jia beast?”

“…”

“Name it according to the characteristics of the monster and ancient books.”

“Correct answer.”

Jiang Li felt that there was a high probability that he would not even be able to pass the first level.

“Tenth question: If ten golden crows, immortal beasts, appeared in the sky above Kyushu, scorching the earth, disrupting spiritual energy, withering trees, and drying up rivers, and you happened to have ten arrows and a bow, what would you do?”

“Shoot all ten golden crows down.”

“Wrong.”

“Shoot nine, leaving one.” Someone recalled the legend of Dayi shooting down the sun.

“Wrong.”

“The golden crows are immortal beasts. We can’t defeat them. Let’s wait for Emperor Jiang to take action.”

“Correct.”

“Eleventh question: The Classic of Mountains and Seas records a demon beast named Zhulong. Its eyes open for day and close for night. What’s the principle behind this?”

“This is Zhulong’s innate magical power.”

“Wrong.”

“Zhulong controls both the forces of light and darkness.”

“Wrong,”

Jiang Li said with a smile. “Zhulong doesn’t blink during the day and closes its eyes to sleep at night.”

“Correct.”

“…” I was just kidding.

Jiang Li hadn’t expected to pass.

The demon beast quiz continued, and Jiang Li realized how little he knew about them.

Qisha Daozi, Yu Xiaomeng, and Li Jiaojiao all passed before Jiang Li.

“How come Jiang Renhuang only passed the eleventh question? I thought it was easy,” Yu Xiaomeng and Li Jiaojiao were puzzled.

Qisha Daozi explained, “You don’t understand. Although Jiang Renhuang hadn’t answered any questions before, he remained calm. What does this mean? It means Jiang Renhuang was confident. Even if he waited until the Shuangji Deputy Sect Master asked the final question, Jiang Renhuang would still be the last to pass.”

“Jiang Renhuang didn’t answer any questions because he didn’t want to be in the spotlight. Look at how much hostility everyone has towards the first person to answer. Jiang Renhuang keeps a low profile and anticipated this.”

“As the second person to pass, everyone also has hostility towards me. I should learn from Jiang Renhuang in this regard.”

The first person to pass was speechless upon hearing Qisha Daozi’s words.

Brother, everyone’s hostility towards me is indeed due to me being the first to pass, but their hostility towards you is entirely due to the two beautiful demons accompanying you.

Qi Sha Daozi, unaware of this, continued explaining to his two girlfriends, “There’s nothing in this world that Jiang Renhuang doesn’t know.”

Li Jiaojiao was puzzled, “But why did I hear that the most knowledgeable person in the world is Chang Cun Xian Weng of Dao Zong’s Fengji Cave?”

Yu Xiaomeng gritted her teeth in anger. When a girl asks a boy a question, it gives him a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. But Li Jiaojiao had beaten him to the punch!

“You don’t know this, do you? Chang Cun Xian Weng is the oldest person in Jiuzhou. While he’s certainly knowledgeable, he’s still slightly inferior to Jiang Renhuang.”

“You should know that Jiang Renhuang often visits Chang Cun Xian Weng in Fengji Cave, right?”

“Yes.”

“It’s actually because Chang Cun Xian Weng doesn’t understand a lot, so Jiang Renhuang goes there to give him lectures.”

“So that’s how it is,” the two women suddenly realized. They felt it was great to be around Qi Sha Daozi; they could learn something new every day.

After a series of thrilling monster quizzes, Bipolar selected the cultivators who passed the first round.

“Congratulations, everyone, on passing the first round of exams.”

“The relationship between humans and demonic beasts is a perennial topic for beastmasters. If you want to tame a demonic beast, the first step is to get it close to you. The closer you are to the demonic beast, the more likely you are to sign a contract with it and fight together in the future.”

“Now we begin the second round of exams, getting close to the demonic beast.”

“Later, I’ll take you to the Beastmaster Sect’s incubation peak. Your level of intimacy with the newly born demonic beasts will determine your eligibility for the third round of exams.”
