Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 614
Chapter 612 The Demon is Unleashed
Just yesterday, while Jiang Li was preparing for the Myriad Realms Exploration Festival and was being kicked out by Commander Liu, who deemed him a nuisance, he received a system quest.
[New Quest: Under the Sword Lord’s guidance, you will discover a hidden burial site left behind by a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox ten thousand years ago. The burial site contains the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s legacy, stored in a coffin deep within the burial site. Explore the Tribulation Crossing Stage burial site and open the coffin.]
[This quest is forfeitable.]
[Quest Reward: A set of “Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Fox,” a random immortal’s handwritten note, and the new ability, Immune to Illusions, is unlocked.]
Jiang Li had a good memory of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s burial site. When he had previously helped the Sword Lord escape from the Sword Tomb, the Sword Lord, celebrating his return to the light of day, had seen the little white fox on Qin Luan’s shoulder and gifted the little fox the location of the Tribulation Crossing Stage Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s burial site.
Jiang Li had little interest in the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s burial site. This quest reminded him of Bai Hongtu’s disappearance, his coffin in a cave deep within the mountains of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Out of concern for his friend, he decided to look for Bai Hongtu.
After all, the festival is coming soon.
This cemetery was completed by the joint efforts of Jiang Li and Yu Yin. Jiang Li was responsible for finding a place, and Yu Yin was responsible for the layout.
Yu Yin was worried that Bai Hongtu would be lonely in the coffin, so she drew some fairy beasts and sculpted some terracotta warriors to accompany him.
After Jiang Li arrived at the cemetery, he met two young monks who were digging graves, and decided to give them some opportunities.
Participating in the important event of digging Bai Hongtu should at least be rewarded.
“Brother Mo Li, do you want to participate in the Ten Thousand Worlds Exploration Festival?” The brothers followed Jiang Li, feeling an inexplicable sense of security. They couldn’t help but relax their vigilance and talked about the major events that happened in Jiuzhou in the past few days.
Everyone knows that Emperor Jiang Ren has obtained the coordinates of the heavens and the ten thousand worlds. The monks in Jiuzhou can go to other worlds on their own, travel the world, save the world, and develop in other worlds.
Some smaller sects were eager to try. Their highest cultivation level was the Nascent Soul stage, making them relatively invisible in the Nine Provinces. This offered them a perfect opportunity to travel to other worlds, spread their teachings, recruit a few talented disciples, and strengthen their sects. If they could save the world or establish a connection between the other worlds and the Nine Provinces, they would receive a reward from the Human Emperor Palace.
Going to another world offered the promise of the unknown and the promise of opportunity, and everyone was eager.
Even these young disciples were prepared to follow their sect’s deacons on this adventure.
“Even if I don’t go, I’ll probably be forced to join,” Jiang Li said, still having a clear understanding of Commander Liu.
“What have you, the Corpse-Driving Sect, gained in the zombie world?”
The brothers beamed with joy at the thought. “It’s been a great harvest! We no longer have to worry about a shortage of corpses, and we won’t have multiple disciples sharing one. The Sect Leader and the elders have also brought back several Level 6 zombies, nearly doubling the strength of the sect’s top leadership.”
“Right now, the Sect Leader and the elders are sorting through the remains of those interstellar civilizations as proof of their existence.”
Only the planets home to Luo Ying and Luo Zhu survived the zombie crisis; all other planets were overwhelmed by the zombie crisis.
Suddenly, music began to play, like a long, lingering song from the heavens. Simultaneously, a bright light appeared beneath the three’s feet.
“Be careful! This is a trap set by the female demon. She’s skilled in the art of rhythm. Only by stepping on the bright light according to the rhythm will you be safe.”
“If you miss, you’ll be struck by a thousand arrows.”
The three danced to the music, leaping and skipping, narrowly escaping the trap.
“What a vicious female demon!” The brother gasped from jumping. A few jumps wouldn’t be a big deal, but he was afraid something might go wrong and get pierced by a thousand arrows.
He was breathless with fear.
“Very vicious indeed,” Jiang Li agreed. There wasn’t really a trap; he was just teasing the two little ones. He’d jumped in the wrong places a few times before, and nothing had happened.
Under Jiang Li’s guidance, the once-safe cemetery became incredibly exciting. The brothers walked on thin ice, fearing a single misstep could lead to their deaths.
“Be careful, this is the female demon’s trick…”
“Be careful, this is the
male demon’s trick…” “Be careful, this is a continuation of the battle between the male and female demons…”
The brothers were like frightened birds, fearing even the smallest stone might bear the explosive runes left by the male demon.
“Stop!” Jiang Li shouted at them.
“Another trap?”
“No, this could be an opportunity.”
At the door to the deepest room in the tomb lay a treasure chest.
Jiang Li, his expression solemn, carefully opened the chest and took out the treasure.
Curious, the brothers peered in, exclaiming, “It’s the lost Qi-gazing technique!”
“And there’s a technique!”
Jiang Li flipped through the manual and said seriously, “This is a companion technique to the Qi-gazing technique, capable of reaching the fusion stage. The Qi-gazing technique and the technique must be used together. Why don’t you two take the treasure?”
While the brothers wanted the treasure, they also knew it was Jiang Li’s work. “Brother Mo Li, if it weren’t for you along the way, we would have perished in the trap. It’s only right that this treasure remain with you.”
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, “How about this? There should be more treasures further down. I’ll give these two to you, and if you find any more treasures later, they’ll belong to me. How’s that?”
“Okay.”
The three pushed open the stone door, finally reaching the deepest part of the cemetery.
Seeing the coffin, the brothers held their breath, unable to believe the sight before them.
The coffin hovered in the air, breathing in and out chaotic energy, ancient and mysterious, as if telling a secret from eons past, or complaining about the injustice of losing to that female demon.
Affixed to the coffin was a yellow talisman with the six characters “Om Mani Padme Hum” inscribed on it.
Most importantly, the coffin bore the image of Jiang Renhuang!
But how could this be possible? This was a seal from 20,000 years ago, and it was placed by a female demon from the Celestial Realm. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Jiang Renhuang.
Wait, could it be that Jiang Renhuang traveled back to the Celestial Realm 20,000 years ago and helped the female demon seal the male demon?
Reflecting on the various legends surrounding Jiang Renhuang, the brothers felt this was entirely plausible.
The mere passage of time was no problem for Jiang Renhuang.
At this moment, the deep, demonic voice of the male demon came from the coffin: “I am the Lord of the Demon Sect, Mahāyāna Vāṣaṇa. Those who are destined to meet me, please come forward and recite ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ with a pious heart to help me break the seal.” “
If you help me break the seal, I will appoint you as the Deputy Lord of the Demon Sect.”
The voice had a magical power that made people subconsciously feel that he was lying.
The brothers shuddered. “The flesh is alive, the demon’s corpse has gained consciousness!”
Thinking of the demon’s secure seal, their fear soon subsided. “Letting you out to harm the people? Forget it!”
“We have Jiang Renhuang in Jiuzhou, the image of the coffin that sealed you. He roams the world, and even the outer demons are no match for him. Even if you emerge, you will only face the fate of being suppressed by Jiang Renhuang!”
The demon sneered repeatedly. “Jiang Renhuang? He’s a despicable creature, why should I fear him? Let him show himself, and watch me defeat him in one move!”
Seeing that the two little guys would not help him break the seal, the demon controlled the coffin, making it stand upright.
The coffin was in the image of Jiang Li, and the scene was indescribably strange.
“Haha, how dare the defeated under Emperor Jiang be so arrogant!”
Jiang Li tossed the two little guys out, then strode forward, heading for the coffin. “I’m from the Human Emperor Palace, ordered by Emperor Jiang to suppress the demon. This place is dangerous, you two leave first!”
The two were thrown out of the cave, deeply concerned for Jiang Li’s safety.
…
“Now that the two little guys are gone, isn’t it time for you to help me lift the lid?”
“You can’t open it yourself. I didn’t seal the coffin shut.” Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, looking nonchalant.
“Huh? Then why can’t I open it… Wait, I get it. You made the coffin have a sliding lid!”
Bai Hongtu felt his intelligence insulted, and angrily slid the coffin lid open and climbed out.
“Whose idea was that?!”
…
Jiang Li emerged from the cave, looking exhausted after a fierce battle. “I’ve slain the demon, but I still need to clean up. You two should go to the Human Emperor Palace to participate in the festival.”
The brothers thanked Jiang Li profusely and hurried to the Human Emperor Palace.
