Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 609

Chapter 607: How to use the Six Paths Seal?

When Jiang Li and Yu Yin found Immortal Elder Changcun, he was reclining in a rocking chair, his neck tilted back as he read, his body swaying back and forth.

Jiang Li felt that Immortal Elder Changcun had officially entered retirement.

“Immortal Elder, we’re back.”

“Where’s Hongtu?” Immortal Elder Changcun noticed that one of the three was missing.

“He got lost, trapped in an ancient tomb and can’t get out.”

“Is that so? Is his life in danger?” The Immortal Elder Changcun was still quite concerned for his disciple.

“He won’t die.”

“That’s fine.” The Immortal Elder Changcun’s concern for his disciple was limited.

When Bai Hongtu was still a young cultivator, he displayed extraordinary talent. The elders of the Dao Sect, along with Immortal Elder Changcun, discussed the matter and decided that Bai Hongtu didn’t need to be disciplined, but rather allowed to grow.

Therefore, the Dao Sect elders’ attitude towards Bai Hongtu was that as long as he survived, it was fine.

“We’ve made another important discovery this time, but we also have some questions. I’d like to hear your opinion, Immortal Elder.”

Jiang Li unleashed his magical powers, recreating the thirty-six black tide phenomena he had witnessed in the monitoring room.

“So the statue of Venerable Shenzang was damaged like this, with only half left.”

“No mistake, the thirty-fourth encounter was the fairyland. It should be in the east of the fairyland, guarded by the True Dragon Clan.”

The immortal old man had sharp eyes and could tell the location of the fairyland just from the outside.

“As for the black tide you mentioned, I don’t know much, and the immortal world doesn’t have many records of it. I also encountered it once in Jiuzhou, 18,000 years ago. When I was walking in the universe, I encountered a small black dot. It suddenly appeared and disappeared, without any reason.”

“There are only about ten similar records that I remember.”

“For example, 100,000 years ago, the Immortal Lord Kongming was traveling in the void and encountered a black spherical object the size of a fist. Before the Immortal Lord Kongming could see it clearly, the black spherical object disappeared. The Immortal Lord recorded this incident in his travel notes.”

“Also, 140,000 years ago, the Cloth Bag Arhat lent his cloth bag to a friend. When the friend returned it, he said that the cloth bag had a hole in it, and it was pierced by a small black dot. The Cloth Bag Arhat didn’t believe it and thought his friend was lying. He must have torn the cloth bag during a fight, and the two broke up because of this. Most immortals also thought his friend was lying.”

“And 170,000 years ago…”

“Twenty-one thousand years ago…”

The Immortal Lord Changcun knew everything like the back of his hand. He could recite the legends recorded in ancient books at will, which was considered a skill.

“These legends are scattered throughout the notes of immortals, and no one would have noticed the connection between them. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought they were the same thing.”

“And even if they could be connected, there’s no pattern to be drawn. Have you noticed? These records are very one-sided about the black tides, not even mentioning the details of their appearance.”

“It’s ridiculous. The history of the immortal world is so long that it can’t be traced back, yet they know less about the black tide phenomenon than a civilization that has only existed for ten thousand years.”

“The Observer World is a very remarkable civilization.”

“The black tide must be something the immortal world has to face.”

“When the Immortal Ladder was still in existence, the immortal world used it to connect the heavens and the earth into a web. No movement could be hidden from the perception of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is the most clear about the patterns of the black tides. Even if others don’t know, the Heavenly Dao must know.” “

I don’t know anything more.”

The immortal man suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, can’t you go to the underworld? Maybe Hou Tuhuang knows something. After all, she is a Hunyuan Wuji Immortal.”

“That’s right.” Jiang Li turned over his palm. This was the seal bestowed upon him by the Emperor Hou Tu, called the Six Paths Seal. It allowed him to ascend directly to the underworld without faking his own death.

“But how do I use this?”

Jiang Li’s eyes glared, a sacred golden light emanating from his body. With a loud shout, he thrust out a palm.

“Six Paths Seal!”

But nothing happened.

Immortal Changcun and Yu Yin blinked, suspecting that Jiang Li had contracted some serious illness from Bai Hongtu.

…

The underworld.

The Emperor Hou Tu was hard at work, encouraging the Yamas to work hard and not let their leader down.

Suddenly, the Six Paths Seal between his brows flashed, and then an inexplicable and overwhelming force emanated from it, sending her flying.

Prince Qin Guang was the first to react. “The Lord of the Underworld has been assassinated. Something bad may happen. Yama, you will be the next Lord of the Underworld. Remember, I was the one who promoted you to that position. You must approve any future requests for leave!”

King Yama looked at Prince Qin Guang and whispered, “Qin Guang, do you want to see who’s behind you?”

Prince Qin Guang turned to see Hou Tu Huangzhi, smiling kindly, with Jiang Li standing obediently beside him.

After Hou Tu Huangzhi gave Prince Qin Guang a beating, he sighed at Jiang Li.

“The Six Paths Seal is my unique magic. I can feel the power you’ve bestowed upon it.”

“It’s my fault. I didn’t tell you how to use it.”

“But you hit me so hard that it hurt.”

Hou Tu Huangzhi touched her brow, still terrified.

After being struck by the Six Paths Seal, she immediately realized that Jiang Li was attempting to use it to enter the Underworld. Fearing another blow from Jiang Li, she quickly took Jiang Li in her arms.

“What do you want to talk to me about?”

Jiang Li finished speaking about his experiences in the Observer Civilization.

Empress Hou Tu’s expression grew serious. She pulled out the authentic Book of Life and Death and flipped through the death records of the Observer Civilization from six hundred years ago, her brow furrowed.

“Sure enough, after being devoured by the so-called Black Tide, those people’s souls weren’t even reincarnated, and there’s no record of their deaths in the Book of Life and Death.”

“I don’t know much about the Black Tide, but I agree with the Lord of Entropy. The Black Tide is full of uncertainty, and beyond the long river of time, there are also places where possibilities converge. These correspond to the three basic principles of space, time, and possibility.”

“But speaking of which, after Senior Daozu died, I repeatedly inquired about the reason for Heaven’s destruction, but he remained evasive and unwilling to elaborate. Only once did he sigh and say that perhaps Heaven was right and he was just a hypocrite, unable to find a solution and yet unwilling to allow Heaven to destroy the world.”

“Senior Daozu must have known about the Black Tide, but for some reason, he wouldn’t tell me. Did he think I would defect to Heaven?” Hou Tu Huangzhi was puzzled, unable to understand.

Unable to get the answer he sought from Hou Tu Huangzhi, Jiang Li handed the forged Book of Life and Death to Hou Tu Huangzhi and prepared to leave.

Hou Tu Huangzhi hurriedly stopped Jiang Li.

“Wait.”

“What else?”

“I’ll teach you the correct use of the Six Paths Seal. Don’t hit me with that palm again.”

…

“Have you learned it?”

Jiang Li nodded, and with a tentative palm strike, Hou Tu Huangzhi flew backwards.

“Let me try again.”

“Wait a minute, let me move the Six Path Seal to a different position first.”

Hou Tu Huang only moved the Six Path Seal from his brow to his palm. That way, even if Jiang Li’s strength was transmitted, it wouldn’t knock him away.

After trying several times, Jiang Li finally mastered the Six Path Seal, and Hou Tu Huang finally let him go with peace of mind.
