Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 626

Chapter 624: The Eight Desolate World

Eight Desolate World. Everyone present had heard of the Eight Desolate World, a world renowned among the myriad realms. It was rumored that before the disappearance of the Immortal Ladder, it boasted over ten Tribulation Crossing Realms. While not as powerful as the Nine Provinces, it was still among the strongest worlds, boasting formidable combat capabilities.

The Eight Desolate World also boasted numerous immortal lineages, with many leaving legacy there, demonstrating a strong foundation.

The cultivators of the Eight Desolate World were equally astonished upon seeing Jiang Li and the others. They hadn’t expected the Eight Desolate World to overthrow the renowned Nine Provinces.

Their side boasted over a hundred Fusion Stage cultivators, while the other side boasted several hundred—a vast disparity.

While the specific realms of Bai Hongtu, Yu Yin, Jian Jun, Old Dragon King, and Li Er, the three overlords, could not be discerned, it was clear that all eight were in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, a number comparable to their own.

The small golden pagoda, radiating a strong Buddhist aura, must be an immortal artifact.

The most elusive figure was the one who led the group, introducing himself. His depth was unclear. He appeared mortal, devoid of any spiritual energy. But anyone with a bit of common sense knew that a mere mortal couldn’t possibly speak for the eight Tribulation Crossing cultivators, let alone one who they were secretly leading.

An immortal left behind in Kyushu?

The Fusion Stage cultivators in Bahuang were restless, whispering to each other. The leader rebuked them harshly.

“Shut up, you unworldly creature!”

the Fusion Stage cultivators immediately shut up, not daring to speak again.

The leader clasped his fists and said first to show his sincerity: “Let me introduce myself. The eight of us are the eight lords of the Eight Desolate World. We are named after the Eight Trigrams. My name is Lord Ganhuang.”

The other party showed goodwill, and Jiang Li replied: “So it’s Lord Ganhuang. My name is Jiang Li, and I am the Human Emperor of the Jiuzhou World. The people behind me are my friends.”

“I just don’t know why these worlds collided for no reason. Does Lord Ganhuang know the reason?”

Lord Ganhuang shook his head regretfully: “No, I don’t know the reason either. Maybe it’s a coincidence. To be honest, our Eight Desolate World has not been very lucky in the past few thousand years. We have knocked down other worlds, but fortunately no casualties were caused.”

“After the collision with your world, we were also very surprised. We were worried that the collision of the worlds would cause damage to your world, so we gathered high-level monks to come to the rescue.” “

But we never thought that your world would turn out to be the Jiuzhou world. We were worrying too much.”

Lord Ganhuang laughed at himself.

“No, no, thank you Lord Ganhuang for your assistance. This isn’t the place for idle chatter. Why not come to our Jiuzhou and stay?” Jiang Li wanted to know more.

Lord Ganhuang hesitated. “Forgive me for bothering you, but my brothers and subordinates…”

“No problem. You can all come to the Jiuzhou Continent.”

Lord Ganhuang’s heart sank, figuring the Jiuzhou world’s strength had risen to another level.

They had eight Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators and over a hundred Fusion Stage cultivators. Neither world knew the other, and yet this Human Emperor Jiang had allowed them to enter the Jiuzhou Continent.

If they harbored any resentment, it would bring devastating disaster to the Jiuzhou world.

Lord Ganhuang wondered if he couldn’t do that.

Was the Jiuzhou world too powerful to fear unrest, or had they simply not anticipated this?

Lord Ganhuang leaned towards the former.

…

“Palace Master, the guards report that because the earthquake stopped in time and the mortals had cultivated, there was no unrest anywhere, and no casualties or property were lost.” Seeing Jiang Li return to the Human Emperor Palace, Commander Liu explained the situation.

“That’s good.”

“Who are these people behind…”

“These are the eight Wasteland Lords from the Eight Wasteland World. The spatial vibration just now was the result of a collision with the Eight Wasteland World.”

“I see.” Commander Liu had heard of the Eight Wasteland World and wasn’t worried these people would cause trouble in Jiuzhou.

Eight Tribulation-Transcending Stage cultivators could be suppressed by Sect Master Bai Hongtu’s Spirit Plant Formation.

“We’re discussing matters in the Human Emperor Palace’s reception hall. Our Fusion-Transcending Stage cultivators and those from the Eight Wasteland World are waiting outside. Please, Commander Liu, entertain them.”

Their discussion couldn’t be overheard by the Fusion-Transcending Stage cultivators.

“Okay.” Commander Liu left the Human Emperor Palace.

In the Human Emperor Palace’s reception hall, Tribulation-Transcending Stage cultivators from the Jiuzhou World, the Observer Civilization, and the Eight Wasteland World took their seats.

“Could that Commander Liu just now be an immortal?” Gan Huang Lord’s voice trembled. He had clearly seen the immortal treating the Human Emperor Jiang with great respect.

“Commander Liu became an immortal by chance.” Jiang Li laughed heartily and asked, “I wonder how fast time flows in the Eight Desolate World? How long has it been since the Immortal Ladder broke?”

“Six thousand years have passed. I wasn’t even born then. I just heard that a massive hand tore through the boundary wall and ripped the Immortal Ladder apart.”

Seeing that Jiang Li didn’t elaborate on how Commander Liu became an immortal, Lord Gan asked, “In my eyes, Emperor Jiang Ren’s strength is vague. I wonder what realm he has reached. Could he also be an immortal?”

“Not an immortal. After the Tribulation Crossing Stage, I reached the Mahayana Stage, and now I’m still a mortal.”

“He actually reached a new realm!” Upon hearing this news, the eight desolate lords’ eyes widened, their bodies swaying slightly, clearly uneasy.

As Tribulation Crossing Stage inhabitants, they could perfectly control their bodies, but now they were shaking uncontrollably, a testament to their shock!

The Eight Desolate World has a long history and connections to the Immortal Realm. As far as the eight desolate lords could remember, no one had ever, since recorded history, transcended their cultivation system to reach a new realm. The Nine Provinces truly harbored many hidden talents.

“How much does Lord Ganhuang know about the Immortal Realm after the Immortal Ladder was severed?”

Lord Ganhuang shook his head. “Nothing, but ever since we lost contact with the Immortal Realm, we’ve tried everything we can to contact them.”

“At that time, an immortal ancestor came to inspect the Immortal Realm’s Taoist lineage. When he encountered the disappearance of the Immortal Ladder, he couldn’t return to the Immortal Realm. He speculated that either an enemy of equal strength had appeared, and the Immortal Realm was too busy fighting to pay attention to us, or there was civil unrest in the Immortal Realm, and the immortals of the Eight Desolations chose the wrong side.”

“Fortunately, before the Immortal Ladder disappeared, another immortal happened to leave behind a special storage ring filled with immortal power. Although we can’t ascend to the Immortal Realm, we can achieve immortality. In the past six thousand years, two predecessors have achieved immortality.”

“Right now, these three immortals are in seclusion in their caves. They won’t break out unless the world’s survival is at stake.”

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. “Have you ever encountered an Earth Immortal-level monster?”

“What monster?” The Gan Wasteland Lord looked confused, and the other Wasteland Lords shook their heads, unsure of what Jiang Li was talking about.

“Actually, we know more about the Immortal Realm than you do.” Jiang Li sighed, recounting the truth of nine thousand years ago and the current state of the Immortal Realm. The eight Wasteland Lords leaned forward, listening intently.

“Compared to you, our Nine Provinces world is in a far worse situation.”

“The Nine Provinces also have to face Earth Immortal monsters, but unfortunately, we lack sufficient immortal power. Successive Human Emperors have had to rely on the earth veins to battle these monsters, sacrificing their blood to ensure nine thousand years of peace in the Nine Provinces.”

The eight Wasteland Lords saluted, expressing their admiration for the successive Human Emperors, earning them considerable favor with the Nine Provinces.

“So, you understand, the Eight Wasteland World is also a renowned great world. The Immortal Realm will not ignore you. Since you haven’t encountered any attacks from fallen immortals, there’s only one possibility: the Immortal Realm is plotting a conspiracy to gradually destroy the Eight Wasteland World.”
