Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Traces left by the extraterritorial demon

“What? You thought of me again? Hey, did you find the Yin-Yang Seal?”

“Now’s not the time to joke around. Look at this monster. What’s wrong?”

Seeing Jiang Li’s seriousness, Bai Hongtu stopped laughing and listened to Jiang Li, observing the monster.

Bai Hongtu’s consciousness couldn’t reach the monster through the remote communication talisman, so he could only observe the monster with his eyes. To allow Bai Hongtu to see clearly, he tapped the frantic monster’s forehead, and the monster, combined with its body and form, disintegrated into countless particles and dispersed.

Bai Hongtu’s shadow circled around and surveyed the area.

“Is this… a trace left by the Extraterritorial Demon?!”

Bai Hongtu’s eyes widened, still unsure of his guess. However, several traces looked unmistakably like the hands and feet of an Extraterritorial Demon.

Once, an Extraterritorial Demon used the Demonic Disintegration spell to contaminate a city. Those contaminated lost their minds and howled in madness. Those bitten also lost their minds, becoming new sources of infection.

Judging from its structure, this demonic beast won’t infect other creatures, but it lacks reason and acts solely on instinct, much like the work of the extraterritorial demons back then!

“We both came to the same conclusion: it must be the extraterritorial demons who are at work.”

“This world is so powerful? Are there extraterritorial demons that haven’t been overrun yet?!” Bai Hongtu was astonished. Jiuzhou had desperately mobilized the Human Emperor, the power of faith, immortal artifacts, Tribulation-crossing beings, and so on, using every resource they had to barely hold it back.

Jiuzhou is one of the most powerful worlds under the Immortal Realm, and this world doesn’t seem that strong either, so how could it withstand the extraterritorial demons?

Bai Hongtu didn’t dare underestimate this world and held them in awe.

Bai Hongtu saw Ming Zhong and knew he was from this world, so he held him in awe.

Ming Zhong felt awkward being stared at by Bai Hongtu’s projection, and he felt that this person might have misunderstood him.

“That’s exactly what’s strange. The extraterritorial demons seem to have only manipulated the demonic beasts, causing them to attack humans, rather than attacking them directly.”

“Let me introduce you. This is the leader of the human race in this world, President No. 506. You can call him Ming Zhong.”

“This is Bai Hongtu, the Sect Master of Dao Sect, at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.”

Jiang Li introduced the two.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Sect Master Bai.”

Ming Zhong looked at Bai Hongtu with admiration, leaving him baffled.

“According to Ming Zhong, this is only the strongest demonic beast they’ve encountered. It’s probably just reached a breakthrough. They’ve never seen one before. As for threats like the extraterritorial demons, they’ve never seen one before.”

“What, the Fusion Stage? The strongest?” Bai Hongtu was stunned. What kind of extraterritorial demons were they? Fusion Stage cultivators were hoping to conquer a whole world. If such creatures dared to come to Jiuzhou, Dao Sect would be feasting on Fusion Stage demonic beast hotpot that very day.

Seeing Ming Zhong’s strange expression, he realized that while this might not be a big deal for Jiuzhou, it posed a huge threat to this world.

“Oh, I meant Fusion Stage cultivators are pretty strong too,” Bai Hongtu quickly tried to remedy.

If Ming Zhong hadn’t known the other party was a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse, he would have believed Bai Hongtu’s words. But the problem was, he already knew!

Tribulation Crossing Stage masters say Fusion Stage masters are quite powerful, right?! This was even more embarrassing!

Ming Zhong wished he had no emotions, so he wouldn’t feel awkward.

“There’s one more thing you need to know. The Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal says it sensed the Dao Ancestor’s karma here and suspects he’s here.”

“The Ancestor is here?!” Bai Hongtu asked in surprise, his eyes gleaming. This was a truly unexpected discovery, and even greater news for the Dao Sect.

“We haven’t found any trace of the Dao Ancestor yet, but the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal’s perception seems correct.”

“What do you think?” Bai Hongtu calmed down. A Mahayana cultivator had arrived in this world, so the Ancestor couldn’t have been unaware. Yet, the fact that they still couldn’t find the Ancestor meant something was wrong with him.

“I think the Dao Ancestor might be facing off against the Extraterritorial Demon, and has no time to worry about us.” Jiang Li had a new theory after discovering the presence of the Extraterritorial Demon.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Bai Hongtu said solemnly. He couldn’t do much about this matter and could only rely on Jiang Li.

Disconnecting the remote communication symbol, Jiang Li turned to Ming Zhong, who was looking at his toes, and asked, “Are the demon beasts, or what you call ferocious beasts, only here?”

“No, only a few are here. The rest are active in their territory.” Ming Zhong pointed in the direction opposite the human territory, indicating that the ferocious beasts had come from that side.

“But I’m not sure about the situation over there. All the equipment used to explore the demon beast territory has been destroyed by them, and very little data has been transmitted.”

Ming Zhong also began to refer to the ferocious beasts as demon beasts.

Jiang Li nodded, “Let’s go and take a look over there.”

The demon beasts’ territory was completely different from the human side. Hundreds of meters tall, ancient trees were everywhere. Perhaps a demon beast was lurking in the treetops, ambushing its own kind. Naturally, upon seeing Jiang Li and his group, they would ambush them as well.

These demon beasts died tragically, and even their bodies wouldn’t form a complete corpse.

Ming Zhong would laugh every time Jiang Li casually killed a demonic beast. He laughed non-stop, his throat dry from laughter.

Along the way, he’d seen several at the Fusion Stage. It dawned on Ming Zhong that the demonic beasts had evolved to a level far beyond the reach of humans. If it weren’t for Jiang Li’s arrival, they would have been completely decimated by the demonic beasts in a few centuries.

Of course, he couldn’t tell which were at the Spiritual Transformation Stage and which were at the Fusion Stage; it was the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal that revealed this.

Ming Zhong was also enlightened. He realized there were so many types of demonic beasts unknown to humans. The ones they’d painstakingly studied were only a small fraction.

“All of them have been tampered with by the demonic demons from outside the realm.” Jiang Li analyzed many of them. They were all irrational, acting on instinct, and their bodies bore traces of infection from the demonic demons from outside the realm.

The demonic beasts’ territory was so vast that most were unaware of the existence of humans on the other side of the continent. The demonic beasts Ming Zhong and his men had resisted for millennia were merely the weaker ones, driven to the outer reaches of their territory.

There are some monsters that have not yet broken through to the Tribulation Period. The Tribulation Period is not a realm that can be reached by relying on bloodline alone. It also requires an extremely deep understanding of the Way of Heaven and many other conditions. These irrational monsters naturally have no possibility of breaking through to the Tribulation Period.

“Do you feel that the density of spiritual energy is getting higher and higher?” Yin Yang Tian Yin asked.

“Indeed.” Jiang Li found that the density of spiritual energy here was comparable to that of Jiuzhou. If these monsters had not lacked intelligence, it would not be surprising to see several monsters in the Tribulation Crossing stage.

“Stop!” Jiang Li shouted suddenly.

“What’s wrong?” Yin Yang Tian Yin stopped moving forward.

“There may be danger ahead.”

Jiang Li frowned. He used his spiritual sense to see a monster that was suspected to be an immortal hundreds of kilometers away!

However, a monster without reason couldn’t even reach the Tribulation Crossing stage, so how could it become an immortal!

And where did the ladder to immortality come from? !

Is there a ladder to immortality in this world?
