Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Departure

“Do you really have experience with the Way of Space?” Bai Hongtu asked, knowing just how poor Jiang Li’s talent there was.

“It’s just so-so, just enough to travel to other worlds,” Jiang Li said calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Bai Hongtu had no doubts; Jiang Li wouldn’t joke about such a thing.

“Take this.” Bai Hongtu produced a telecommunication talisman, though the design was slightly different.

“What is this?”

“The one you used before was the one I made during the Fusion Stage. This new telecommunication talisman I made after breaking through the tribulation. Theoretically, it can communicate across worlds, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll give it a try when I reach other worlds.”

“Great stuff.” Jiang Li’s eyes lit up, and without rejecting Bai Hongtu’s offer, he accepted the rune.

Everyone relaxed somewhat. Since Emperor Jiang Ren could find immortal artifacts in other worlds, the probability of him bringing them back was 99%.

They also knew that before the Immortal Ladder disappeared, the Immortal Realm connected all other realms, and Jiuzhou was the most powerful. Other worlds might not even have a single Ascended being, while Jiuzhou produced one every few hundred years. The disparity was immeasurable.

They weren’t worried about Jiang Li’s safety at all, but rather that he might destroy other worlds while retrieving the immortal artifacts.

Other worlds weren’t as secure as Jiuzhou.

“First, set up the Jiuzhou Protective Array to prevent attacks from extraterritorial demons while I’m away.”

“But if the immortal artifacts are gone, who will serve as the center of the array?” Bai Hongtu frowned. The best choice was naturally the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, followed by other immortal artifacts.

Without the immortal artifacts, Taoist artifacts were unfit to serve as the center of the array.

Jiang Li took out the Tianhuang Halberd: “Use it. It can serve as the center of the array, and it can also protect you from extraterritorial demons.”

As soon as it was unleashed, everyone sensed the intense malevolent aura emanating from the Tianhuang Halberd. Countless extraterritorial demons had perished under its mighty halberd, and they were instantly filled with awe.

The sleeping Tianhuang Ji was startled, realizing Jiang Li was about to abandon him. He cried mournfully, “Brother Jiang, you can’t do this. If you leave me in Jiuzhou, who will fight for you?”

Everyone was shocked. This creature actually had intelligence. Seeing all the spiritual treasures agitated, only the Tianhuang Ji remained motionless, they had assumed the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal had failed to enlighten it.

Even though they had only met briefly, Jiang Li could tell at a glance that this creature wanted to sleep in its storage ring, not work.

“Then let’s switch. I’ll stay in Jiuzhou, and you go find the immortal artifact?”

“No, no, I’m fine as the center of the formation,” the Tianhuang Ji quickly declined.

You’re kidding! It’s just a pitiful outsider weapon, good for nothing but toughness. How can it possibly compete with those ever-more-gimmicky immortal artifacts?

A few days later, an invisible protective formation slowly rose, extending from the four ends of Jiuzhou, converging in the center, above the Human Emperor Palace.

At this moment, though the ordinary cultivators hadn’t seen the protective formation, they nonetheless felt an inexplicable sense of security, a comforting feeling.

Bai Hongtu frowned and whispered, “Sure enough, no merit has been bestowed.”

… Only

after ensuring Jiuzhou’s safety did Jiang Li feel at ease to leave.

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal was of paramount importance, so naturally, he had to find it first.

Jiang Li instructed the system to establish a teleportation channel, attempting to allow Bai Hongtu and the other cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to reach another world.

However, neither Bai Hongtu nor the Sumeru Buddha could see the channel. Jiang Li then instructed them to step through it, but they didn’t understand what he meant. After complying, they didn’t reach the other world.

Jiang Li sighed. This spatial teleportation trick of the system was truly remarkable, beyond his current comprehension.

Jiang Li stepped through the channel and arrived in an unknown world.

“Huh? The spiritual energy here is so abundant?” Jiang Li was slightly surprised. The spiritual energy here was slightly lower than that of Jiuzhou, which was quite rare.

Unlike the dull, gray world he had seen before, this world was teeming with life. Jiang Li extended his spiritual sense, exploring only a small area, which gave him a sense of both familiarity and strangeness.

The familiarity stems from the fact that this is a technological age dominated by humans, while the unfamiliarity stems from the technological sophistication, with hover cars, artificial intelligence, mechas, optical computers, and so on.

Jiang Li mused casually, “Maybe I can bring some local specialties back before I go back.”

But that’s unimportant; the priority now is to find the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal.

As soon as Jiang Li landed on top of a building, the remote communication symbol began to vibrate.

It was Bai Hongtu, a no-brainer. Jiang Li put on a sour face to greet him.

“Jiang, Jiang Li, have you made it safely to the other world?”

It was the Pure Heart Saint who was contacting Jiang Li.

Jiang Li quickly changed his sour face into a gentle smile: “Well, it’s safe. We have come to a very interesting place.”

“You see, I said that his attitude was very bad only when he was facing me.” Bai Hongtu poked his head out from the side, saw the scene behind Jiang Li through the remote communication symbol, and exclaimed, “Is this the other world? That iron box seems to be able to move without any spiritual power fluctuations.” “

There are such tall buildings. Do people in this world like high places?”

“It’s a pity that we can’t go, otherwise I really want to go here for a stroll.”

“It feels very suitable for our Confucian preaching.”

“Emperor Jiang, are you here to find the dragon balls in our Dragon Palace?”

“What are you talking about? Emperor Jiang must be here to find other mountains and rocks in our Penglai Fairy Island.”

“What is that human-shaped iron sheet that is more than ten meters tall? It looks like the Dharma body of our Dharma Body Sect, but it doesn’t seem as strong as our Dharma body.”

“What do you mean by ‘resembling your Dharmakaya’? I think it looks a lot like our Buddhist sect’s six-foot-tall golden body.”

Not only Bai Hongtu, but the leaders of other factions popped their heads out from the sidelines, craning their necks to see what the new world would look like. Even the Dharmakaya Sect, the most low-key of the six major sects, joined in.

Jiang Li felt that among these people, only the Saintess of Pure Heart was truly concerned for his safety.

Watching the leaders engaged in such an active discussion, Jiang Li felt like he was leading a tour group of elderly people in another world, the noise making his head hurt.

Although he was very grateful to them for not letting him feel alone anymore, Jiang Li still decided to turn off the remote communication symbol.

The whole world was quiet.

The new remote communication symbol was very useful, and Bai Hongtu could no longer connect directly.

Jiang Li couldn’t know how big this world was yet, but judging from the current situation, this world was at least larger than one state in Jiuzhou.

And this world, like Jiuzhou, was a flat continent.

From ancient books, Jiang Li knew that there were two types of worlds with living beings. One was a world with many planets, with large gaps between the planets, and the other was a flat continental plate, at least a hundred times larger than the area of the planets.

If you want to find the Yin Yang Seal here, you have to make long-term plans.

Then Jiang Li soon saw the Yin Yang Seal flying around in the sky, crying.
