Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 623
Chapter 621 Do you want me to invite you two over?
If we were to rank various magical powers, the great power of “Words, Words, and Laws” would definitely be in the top ten. This
power, created by the Daoist Patriarch of the Immortal Realm, can determine life and death with a single word, alter the course of events, and disrupt the order of yin and yang—truly terrifying.
Legend has it that to develop this power, the Daoist Patriarch sat alone in the Great Luo Heaven for a full forty-nine years, ultimately creating the power of “Words, Words, and Laws” that countless seekers of the Tao pursue their entire lives.
However, the Immortal Elder privately explained the true reason behind this to Jiang Li and the others.
For a while, the Daoist Patriarch enjoyed tongue twisters, frequently repeating the phrase “Eat grapes without spitting out the skins,” or “Don’t eat grapes, but spit out the skins. “
The Confucian Sage was puzzled and asked, “Eat grapes without spitting out the skins is easy, but how do you spit out the skins if you don’t eat them?” The Daoist Patriarch
thought the Confucian Sage’s words made sense, and so he sat alone in the Great Luo Heaven for forty-nine years, creating the great power of “Words, Words, and Laws,” finally achieving the goal of spitting out the skins if you don’t eat them.
After Jiang Li finished listening to Immortal Changcun’s story, his image of the Dao Ancestor underwent a profound shift.
He had originally assumed the Dao Ancestor’s personality was similar to his own, but he hadn’t expected the Dao Ancestor’s true character to resemble Bai Hongtu’s.
“What’s the big deal? You’re just ignorant. I’ve never heard of the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm before. When I was a child, I followed Master Changcun, and I listened to his stories every day.”
“Since I was little, I’ve aspired to be like the Dao Ancestor,” Bai Hongtu stated his lofty ambition.
“What did you want to be when you were little?” Bai Hongtu asked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, “When I was little, I wanted to be a scientist. When I grow up, I want to be a good person who upholds justice.”
“You should have achieved that.”
The two walked through the Tianyuan Imperial City, chatting while scanning the people inside with their spiritual sense.
There were still aristocratic families, factionalism, and evil people and evil deeds, but compared to before, they were far fewer. It was clear that Yuyin had made great efforts to maintain order in the Tianyuan Empire.
“Come to think of it, Yu Yin’s personality at the beginning didn’t seem to be the same as it is now.”
Jiang Li thought about Yu Yin’s cold look at the beginning, and then thought about her expressionless look in the remote communication talisman, and really didn’t understand what Bai Hongtu meant.
Bai Hongtu invited Jiang Li to the teahouse. While drinking tea and eating snacks, he said, “It’s probably due to the environment she grew up in. When I first met Yu Yin, I knew that she was a person who believed in the concept of respecting the strong.”
“Later, she became a candidate for the Human Emperor. After having more contact with you, me, and Ji Zhi, she gradually changed.”
“You have made a great contribution to this. After all, you used to tell us every day how good an orderly country is. It was your ideal country. You said that the greatest thing in the world is reason, not fists, and that people should be reasonable.”
Jiang Li shook his head and laughed, thinking that Bai Hongtu was just guessing wildly: “Why don’t we go directly to find Yu Yin? Instead, we have to change our appearance here and slowly walk to the palace?”
Bai Hongtu stretched out his index finger, shook it gently, and said proudly, “You don’t understand this, right? What place is this? It’s the most chaotic Tianyuan Dynasty. How can we come here and not pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger?”
“Listen to me, within an hour, a young villain will come here and show off his power, saying that he wants to book the whole place and ask us to get out. We two will drink tea calmly and refuse to leave. Then the conflict will escalate. The young villain will send the butler to throw us out. We will defeat the butler, and the young villain will ask the family priest to take action. We will defeat the family priest, and the young villain will ask our father to step forward. We will defeat his father, and the young villain will ask our grandfather who is an official in the court to step forward.”
“His grandfather led the army and surrounded us. He smiled grimly and said that no one in the Tianyuan Imperial City dared to humiliate my grandson like this. At this time, Yu Yin showed up and revealed our identities. The young villain’s grandfather was horrified, and everyone was shocked. We were invited into the palace by Yu Yin. Perfect.”
Jiang Li looked behind Bai Hongtu and asked, “Then wouldn’t it be inappropriate to let Yu Yin wait?”
“Just wait, just say we are lost.” Bai Hongtu didn’t care.
Jiang Li glanced at the figure behind Bai Hongtu again and kindly suggested, “Why don’t you turn around and take a look? Maybe you’ll run into someone you know.”
Bai Hongtu turned to see Yu Yin, a terrifying sneer curling her lips.
Jiang Li said sincerely, “How wonderful! We’ll skip the tedious process and go straight to the grand finale, where Yu Yin will greet you and shock everyone.”
Yu Yin, unabashedly, appeared in the teahouse, revealing her true identity behind Bai Hongtu.
Seeing His Majesty in person, everyone in the teahouse instinctively left their seats and stood still, their expressions of longing and admiration evident.
Rumors abounded of Yu Yin’s incognito visits, redressing grievances, and of her absolute dominance at court…
These stories, all positive, earned her a high reputation among the people.
“Do you want me to invite you two over?” Yu Yin glanced at the two with a half-smile that made them uneasy.
Jiang Li hastily dispelled the allure, “Bai Hongtu got lost just now. I just found him and was about to take him to you.”
“Yes, yes, I’m lost,” Bai Hongtu echoed.
The two men revealed their true identities, sparking a flurry of discussion, their voices trembling and their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Jiang Renhuang, the mightiest of all human emperors!
Bai Zongzhu, the mightiest of all Daoist sect masters!
And Empress Yuyin, the mightiest of all nine emperors!
They were truly blessed to be able to see these three up close.
“Let’s go,”
Yuyin said with a swift turn, and Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu quickly followed.
On the way back, Bai Hongtu curiously asked, “How did you find us? No spiritual sense could detect us.”
Yuyin replied without turning back, “I told the city gate guards to keep an eye out for anyone who looks like they’re just sightseeing, carefree, to report to me.”
“You must have been exposed.”
“You’re the one,”
the two men veiled, accusing each other.
“I asked the city gate guards to pay attention to two people.” Yu Yin knew what these two people were doing without turning around.
“…”
The two stopped talking immediately.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu reflected deeply and decided that even if they had nothing to do in the future, they would have to pretend to be worried.
Yu Yin did not take them to the palace, but to a mountain outside the city.
This was the royal forest, where Yu Yin would go to play in her spare time. She always came here alone. She would lie on a wooden chair, quietly reading some novels, listening to the sound of the waterfall falling next to her, and the cool mountain breeze blowing on her face, which was extremely comfortable.
Sometimes when she felt sleepy, she would ask Ruyi Gourd to read to her while she took a nap on the wooden chair.
Yu Yin would also look for inspiration for painting here and practice painting. Now that she has learned the art of music, she can also play music similar to “High Mountains and Flowing Water”.
It was here that she realized the art of “Words Come True”.
Yu Yin put the Ruyi Gourd on the wooden table: “I will teach you how to perform the art of “Words Come True” here.”
