Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 650

Chapter 648: Great Witch Nation

“Commander Liu, what’s wrong?” Jiang Li received a call from Commander Liu.

On the screen, Commander Liu was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at a sturdy hawthorn tree, praising its good growth.

“Palace Master, I heard that you planted this hawthorn tree? You can’t just abandon it after having an affair with it. Trees have feelings too.”

Commander Liu said sternly, reminding Jiang Li to see things through. “I have a copy of the ‘Hawthorn Tree Planting Manual’ here. How about giving it to you, Palace Master?”

“…You contacted me with the Telecommunication Talisman. It shouldn’t be about the hawthorn tree, right?” Jiang Li was speechless. Although he was very tempted by the book, he couldn’t reach it because of the Telecommunication Talisman.

“Well, under your guidance, Palace Master, Commander Mu and the Gu Tribe leader have achieved their goal and are preparing to marry.”

“The original date was a few days ago, but the unrest in the Eight Desolations kept it from happening until now.”

“When is it set?”

“Three days from now, at the Gu Tribe.”

Bai Hongtu craned his neck and presented himself before Commander Liu. “Senior Liu, did you invite me?”

Bai Hongtu put on a submissive front.

Commander Liu had witnessed Bai Hongtu’s rise from a high-spirited candidate for the Human Emperor at the Nascent Soul stage, to being persecuted by both Jiang Li and Yu Yin, becoming the third-strongest candidate, and finally being defeated by Jiang Li, forcing him to accept the position of leader of the Dao Sect.

When Bai Hongtu chose to return home as leader, the previous leader happily abdicated immediately to enjoy his retirement. The events of

the past have proven the wisdom of the previous leader’s abdication. Under Bai Hongtu’s leadership, the Dao Sect grew stronger and stronger, even more crooked.

Commander Liu smiled and said, “Of course, I just haven’t informed you yet.”

Commander Liu had plenty of experience being deceived and knew Bai Hongtu’s obedience was all a facade.

“Since you two are here, there’s a good chance Yu Yin is here too?”

“Senior Liu, I’m here.”

Yu Yin’s expression softened. When she was a candidate for Human Emperor, Commander Liu had taken good care of her.

When the Old Emperor had Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu strangled and beaten, Commander Liu stepped in and took Yu Yin somewhere else, away from the bloody scene. He was incredibly considerate.

“You should also come to Commander Mu’s wedding.”

“Okay.”

…

“Great Witch Country, it’s been ages since I’ve been here. I was planning to explore the Gu Tribe’s secret realm, and just as I was about to leave, you two pulled me away,” Bai Hongtu said.

The Great Witch Country was the gathering place of the Wu Clan, whose power was directly reflected in their tattoos. Zhang Konghu, the strongest member of the Wu Clan, had tattoos covering his entire back.

Showing off one’s strength is a tradition of the Great Witch Kingdom. Walking down the street, you can see many men with bare upper bodies showing off tattoos on their chests, backs, arms, heads, etc.

Ten thousand years ago, there was a dynasty called the Witch Dynasty. Later, the country was in civil strife and was divided into the Great Witch Kingdom and the Small Witch Kingdom. The Gu Tribe was located in the Great Witch Kingdom.

The current monarch of the Great Witch Kingdom is Zhang Konghu’s elder brother, but the two do not have a very good relationship.

The three of them really haven’t been here for a long time. In Bai Hongtu’s impression, the three of them had come to the Great Witch Kingdom together when they were in the Nascent Soul stage to do a mission about the secret realm.

“Indeed, I still remember that you two had a conflict with the monarch of the Great Witch Kingdom. You said that the monarch of the Great Witch Kingdom called himself “I have a widower”, so should the queen call herself “widow”? “Yu Yin also had an impression of this incident.

“At that time, the Crown Prince of the Great Wu Kingdom occupied the secret realm, wanting to enjoy it all to himself, preventing anyone from entering. You two couldn’t stand it and cursed at him right there.”

Bai Hongtu looked at Yu Yin, “Don’t be so evasive. We were just cursing at each other, yet you attacked us directly.”

Jiang Li continued to recall, “The Crown Prince’s guards intervened promptly, and so did Bai Hongtu and I. With the combined efforts of the three of us, we finally managed to make an enemy of the King of the Great Wu Kingdom.”

“The King of the Great Wu Kingdom saw that one of the three was Dao Zong’s attendant and the other was the Crown Prince Tianyuan’s fiancée, and he couldn’t afford to offend them, so he picked on me, the weakling.”

Yu Yin remembered the King of the Great Wu Kingdom, calling Jiang Li “a widower” and “a fool.” His words were extremely harsh.

Bai Hongtu, infuriated, had sarcastically retorted that if the King of the Great Wu Kingdom called himself a widower, then did the Queen call herself a widow?

Judging by the King’s expression, Yu Yin suspected he was tempted to go to war with Dao Zong.

Fortunately, their own weakness made the ruler of the Great Witch Nation realize that they were unworthy of going to war with the Dao Sect, nor could they afford to offend a Dao Sect member.

Seeing that Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin were both protecting Jiang Li, the ruler of the Great Witch Nation could only hold his nose and let Jiang Li go. They

were all candidates for the Human Emperor, and they couldn’t be enemies.

“What was the name of the founder of the Witch Dynasty, the first Witch Emperor? Was it Wu Bing or Wu Shui?”

“It was Wu Han.”

“Oh, yes, I remember now. Wu Han, the Supreme Immortal, a rare physical cultivation immortal. The Witch Clan was once a powerful clan in the Immortal Realm, with a Golden Immortal in charge.”

“Later, with the war between the Golden Immortals, the Golden Immortal of the Gu Clan fell, and the Witch Clan never recovered, and no Golden Immortal has ever been born again.”

“Wu Han ascended from Jiuzhou and naturally joined the Wu Clan in the Immortal Realm, then became a Celestial Immortal and the new Clan Leader of the Witch Clan.”

The three saw a crowd gathering not far away, and the people lined up outside.

“This is… the Great Zhou office in the Great Wu Kingdom?!”

“So, are these people here to join the Great Zhou?”

A sign at the entrance listed the benefits and procedures for joining the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The most prominent benefit was the guarantee of a fair and equitable living environment.

A Great Zhou official shouted from the entrance, “After completing the formalities, please wait a few days. A space channel will be established between the Great Zhou Imperial City and this place, allowing you to travel directly to the Great Zhou.” Previously,

the space channel was limited in number and couldn’t reach the Great Wu Kingdom. With technological advancements, space channels will flourish throughout the Nine Provinces.

On the Nine Provinces, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a place that many mortals and cultivators alike yearn for, and its population is growing annually.

Although Jiang Li’s guidance had led to a general shift towards good in Jiuzhou, other dynasties and great powers still lagged behind the Great Zhou.

Two constables sighed as they saw the long queues at the Great Zhou office. In the past, when they walked the streets, vendors, fearing they would cause trouble, would offer them things, begging them to accept them. They were so prosperous.

But that was no longer the case.

Migration was a freedom for both mortals and cultivators, unstoppable. The Great Wu Kingdom tried many methods to retain its people, but to no avail. Finally, they had to emulate the Great Zhou, enforcing laws and bringing order to the country.

Officials and constables no longer dared to act tyrannically, seize property, or take possessions.

This trend was not limited to the Great Wu Kingdom; other dynasties and great powers were also emulating the Great Zhou. With the expansion of spatial channels and improved transportation, if no measures were taken, more and more people would choose to live in the Great Zhou.

For example, in the Great Yong Dynasty, when Lingbao gained intelligence, he sought to leave the Great Yong and join the Great Zhou, forcing the Great Yong Dynasty to change its policy.

The current Great Yong Dynasty was also different from its predecessor.

This is a helpless move, but it is a good thing for the people of Kyushu.
