Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 580

Chapter 578: A Day in the Life of Emperor Jiang

Jiang Li possessed the highest-level account on the server, but he didn’t feel a sense of exhilaration or invincibility.

The reason was simple: his Celestial Immortal level was too low, making it unattractive to Bai Hongtu.

“Hmm? I feel like this account could hold more data about me.” Jiang Li discovered that his account could sync with his real-life cultivation level, and he transferred a small amount of his energy to the holographic simulator.

The Dark Celestial’s level instantly surpassed the game’s settings, reaching a whole new level.

“Just this little bit. Too much and the server wouldn’t be good.”

Jiang Li played for a while, then logged out. Nitrox reluctantly put down the holographic simulator and followed Jiang Li.

Nitrox also wrote: Emperor Jiang personally experienced the new technology and personally praised the “server…is amazing.”

Unbeknownst to Jiang Li, his account had become one with the Dark Celestial. After he logged out, the Dark Celestial’s image and level remained the same as when Jiang Li logged in.

…

“Our game has national support. President Ming Zhong personally approved and allocated funds for server upgrades,” the scientists at the Academy of Sciences beamed with joy.

The new server, a product incorporating immortal cultivation techniques, boasts tenfold performance improvements over the previous one. Such a massive server is more than capable of supporting a game.

“Team, team leader, our server is nearing capacity.”

“How is that possible?”

“It seems a player just transferred a large amount of data, squeezing out the server’s storage space.”

“We’ve checked. It’s the Dark Celestial Being who’s having a problem. His power has almost increased tenfold.”

As a game Easter egg, Dark Celestial Being is a beloved character, a character players would never have imagined just how powerful he is.

The Easter egg was a huge success, and none of the developers had anticipated his power.

“It must have been Jiang Renhuang who logged into his account and transferred new data,” the team leader immediately guessed.

“Dark Celestial Being’s appearance has also changed, from female to male. He can’t be restored to his original form.”

“It doesn’t matter if it can’t be changed back. As long as he’s strong enough, that’s all,” the R&D team leader said unconcernedly.

“This enemy is so strong, can the players defeat it?” someone worried.

“What does this have to do with us? We are just game designers, not game players. How to complete the game is the players’ business.”

“Do you dare to tell your words publicly to the players?”

“I dare not.”

…

“Our store is having a big opening sale. Buy one get one free. Buy one get one free. Absolutely fair to everyone!”

Jiang Li looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a funeral home that had opened. People hid away when they heard the hawking sounds.

“Take a look, take a look. Without the stuff I sell, you won’t be able to enjoy your meal!”

“What do you sell?”

“Salt.”

“…”

“The new product launched by Alchemy Peak is the Time Travel Pill. Taking this pill can allow you to travel through time. Everyone, come and take a look!”

“Time Travel Pill?” Jiang Li didn’t expect that Alchemy Peak could refine such a strange pill.

“Sir, take one. As long as you take this pill, you will be able to come to the next day as soon as you close your eyes and open them again. After taking it, the guests all said that they slept very well.”

“…This is a sleeping pill.”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go. If you are not satisfied, there is also this one, the breath freshening pill. After you eat garlic, just hold this pill in your mouth and others will not smell the garlic.”

“That sounds good.”

“Not bad, right? This pill also has many flavors, but the other flavors are sold out. Only one flavor is left.”

“What flavor?”

“Leek flavor.”

“…What is the significance of this pill?”

Jiang Li also saw two storytellers setting up a stall outside to tell stories. The content of the two stories was roughly the same.

Many people listened with rapt attention, cracking melon seeds. It seemed these two storytellers were quite skilled.

One storyteller said, “Eight hundred years ago, two peerless masters battled here. One was called Feiyan, the other Guxiong. Both were renowned cultivators of their time. Their duel was truly dazzling and inspiring admiration…”

“…With a swish, Monk Feiyan unleashed his Biluo Blade Technique, sending Guxiong reeling!”

The other storyteller continued, “…With a swoosh, Monk Guxiong unleashed his Wu clan’s secret technique, sending Feiyan plummeting from the sky!”

Both spoke almost simultaneously, feeling the other was picking on them.

The first storyteller added, “Monk Feiyan’s blade technique was so masterful that he chopped Guxiong all over his body.”

The other storyteller then added, “Monk Guxiong possessed immense strength, invulnerable to swords and spears.”

Again, both spoke almost simultaneously.

The first storyteller drew his Nine-Ring Sword from his waist and declared, “No one can withstand a single blow from Monk Feiyan.”

The other storyteller removed his shirt, revealing a Wu clan totem, and declared, “Monk Guxiong’s Wu clan bloodline is incredibly brutal; no weapon can harm it.”

“Looking for trouble, huh?”

the first storyteller lunged at the other. “Monk Feiyan’s sword cuts through the throat!”

The other clasped his hands together, catching the blow. “Monk Guxiong can catch a blade with his bare hands!”

The two men clasped their arms, their words escalating into a heated exchange. The scene was more thrilling than the stories told. The audience cheered loudly, clearly eager to watch the spectacle unfold.

Jiang Li was curious: “These two are Spirit Transformation cultivators. Aren’t you afraid?”

Someone handed Jiang Li a bag of sunflower seeds, motioned him to sit on a small stool, and said, “New here, huh? These two are famous storytellers here. They’re from the same school, and they often fight over disagreements. It’s much more exciting than just telling a story.”

Everyone nodded. Seeing Divine Transformation cultivators fighting every day—isn’t that better than listening to stories?

“There are too many people here. Let’s go to the nearby mountain to fight.” One storyteller pointed to the large hill, and the other nodded.

“You two, please be quiet!” The guards stationed at the Human Emperor Palace intervened, trying to calm the two.

“During the battle, the mountain will undoubtedly be moved, forcing the map to be redrawn. Do you know that the Human Emperor Palace is now cracking down on cultivators like you who alter the landscape? Stop now!”

Upon hearing this, the two men gave up and exchanged a fierce look.

“Well, there’s no fight. Disperse, disperse.” The spectators dispersed.

“This guard is quite good. He showed up just in time,” Jiang Li nodded.

Nitrogen wrote: Emperor Jiang inspected the work of the Human Emperor Palace guards and commended them for their dedication to duty.

Ultimately, Nitrogen spent the day with Jiang Li, writing three pages of press releases overnight.

The latest issue of “Tianji Newspaper” has been released, and the front page is all about a day in the life of the Human Emperor Jiang. It details how Jiang Li, even after a break, still hasn’t forgotten his duties as the Human Emperor, diligently observing the sufferings of the people and delivering important speeches on the economy, technology, and the daily work of the Human Emperor Palace guards.

The second page features “Kyushu on the Tip of the Tongue.”

The third page features a game guide.
