Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 653

Chapter 651 [Whether]

Commander Mu was eagerly anticipating their wedding night. He specifically asked Jiang Li about the dos and don’ts of spending the night there, believing he was already well-versed in the matters of love and s*x.

Aisu was also eagerly anticipating their wedding night. She specifically studied the “Hehuan Gong” (Hehuan Gong), believing she already had a thorough understanding of the matters of love and s*x.

The couple then spent a night of uncertainty.

With so many people attending the wedding, the Gu Tribe naturally couldn’t construct so many temporary houses. A Miaomiao brought out house tree seeds purchased from the Spiritual Plant Sect. Once planted, they instantly sprouted into houses, and the guests spent the night in the house trees.

That night, Bai Hongtu played mahjong with the Three Pure Ones, Yu Yin read novels all night, and the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart was inspired to write a new book.

Jiang Li practiced diligently all night.

In the morning, Dong Zhongren knocked on Jiang Li’s tree door, his voice a little hurried.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Li had never seen Dong Zhongren so anxious. In his impression, Dong Zhongren always portrayed a refined and elegant gentleman.

“Human Emperor, I can’t contact my disciple Wang Bian.”

Wang Bian, a Confucianist, was a prodigy on par with Wu Zhi at the Nascent Soul stage, his talent so immense that even Dong Zhongren, a similarly gifted person, was somewhat inferior.

“Come in, tell me more.”

“Well, a few days ago, Wang Bian proposed traveling to another world to gain experience and hone his Confucian spirit. I figured he’d be in the Spiritual Transformation stage, so I agreed.”

“But out of caution, I asked a senior Confucian calligrapher to write the word ‘call,’ one page for me and one for Wang Bian.”

“But this morning, influenced by the atmosphere, I wanted to ask Wang Bian if he had anyone he liked, but I couldn’t get through.”

Jiang Li looked peculiar. “…Are you sure he didn’t ignore you because he thought your question was boring?”

With the summoning talisman and the statue, he didn’t think anything could go wrong.

The new summoning talisman could be activated with a single thought.

Dong Zhongren flatly denied it, “That’s definitely not the case. Wang Bian brought several Confucian disciples with him, and we can’t contact them either.”

Jiang Li grew serious, sensing something was amiss. “If that’s the case, I’ll go check it out.”

“Thank you, Human Emperor.”

“We’ve known each other since our Nascent Soul stage days. Why be so polite?”

Jiang Li waved his hand and disappeared.

Jiang Li found the Brahma Tower, responsible for traveling through the heavens and myriad worlds.

“Wang Bian and a few Confucian disciples, right? They’re here. According to the official records from the underworld, that world is called Changliu World.”

The Brahma Tower found the travel log: “Human Emperor, are you going to this world?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then please stand here.”

The Brahma Tower pointed to the teleportation array nearby. It transported countless people daily, and using the teleportation array would help ease the workload.

A flash of light passed, and Jiang Li’s presence disappeared from the teleportation array.

…

Jiang Li stood on the street, the place Wang Bian and his companions had been transported to a few days ago.

He released his spiritual sense, covering the entire galaxy, but could not detect Wang Bian and his companions.

“A technological world, a world in the third industrial revolution, yet without alien colonization technology.” Jiang Li easily judged the level of this world.

“This is just one planet. There must be other civilizations. Did Wang Bian go there?”

“That shouldn’t be the case. This planet hasn’t seen aliens yet, and Wang Bian wouldn’t rashly travel to another planet with a few Yuanying and Jindan stage disciples. It’s too dangerous.”

“What the hell is going on?”

Just as Jiang Li frowned in thought, a light curtain appeared before his eyes.

[Outsider, have you ever wanted to understand the meaning of life?]

[Yes/No]

People came and went on the street, each absorbed in their own business, as if the light curtain didn’t exist, invisible to anyone.

Jiang Li clicked “No” without hesitation.

There was no response. The light curtain remained in place, following Jiang Li wherever he went, vibrating constantly and being extremely annoying.

Jiang Li clicked “Yes” and allowed the other party to pull him away.

Everything around him—people, cars, buildings—turned to gravel and were blown away by the wind. The scene around Jiang Li flickered, and finally stopped changing, transporting him to a mysterious space.

A circular platform paved with pure white, transparent stone was surrounded by statues of various immortal beasts: Qiongqi, Taotie, Taowu, and others. Their ferocious faces, as if ready to spring to life and devour at any moment, were chilling.

The platform resembled an altar.

Beyond it lay pitch black, a world unseen.

Jiang Li produced a remote communication talisman, but was unable to contact Bai Hongtu. He pondered, “There’s no way to contact the outside world from here. Wang Bian and the others must have been transported here.”

“What a shame, Old Bai missed out on such a fun event.”

“You, Taoist priest, are quite interesting. Others arriving here would first contact the outside world with their phones, but you’re mumbling to yourself with a piece of paper,” chuckled a nearby, a thin, bespectacled man in his thirties.

Jiang Li wasn’t the only one on the altar; others had also been transported here.

Including Jiang Li, there were twelve people in total, eleven of whom were from the planet Jiang Li had landed on.

Eleven people were dressed in modern clothes, while Jiang Li wore a Kyushu robe, an ancient and sophisticated style with fine workmanship, and was mistaken for a Taoist priest.

The skinny man looked knowledgeable and seemed to know something about this altar.

A chubby boy asked hurriedly, “Where is this place? How did I end up here after I clicked ‘yes’? Can I still go back?”

The skinny man sneered, as if he had seen this kind of stupid question many times before. He grinned, revealing his cigarette-stained teeth.

“Go back? Of course, but only if you can make it through the first level alive.”

“What do you mean?”

The skinny man pinched the fat boy’s flesh and shook his head in disgust: “Your limbs are fat and weak, you can’t run fast, you can’t feel any pain when hit, and you are not calm when encountering things. After the first level is opened, don’t look for me to form a team and hold me back.”

The woman with heavy makeup didn’t like the skinny man’s attitude and muttered: “You are playing tricks.”

“You all should have encountered a problem when you were dying, and answered ‘yes’, right?”

The fat boy nodded: “Yes, yes, I was pushed down from the roof. During the fall, a voice appeared in my ear and asked me if I wanted to know the meaning of life. I said yes, and then I came here.”

The others looked ugly. Some of them committed suicide, some were homicides, and some were accidents. No matter which one, they were all people who deserved to die.

Jiang Li nodded and said, “Yes, yes, yes.” “I fought against the Heavenly Dao. The heavens were obliterated, the Dao rhyme dried up, and the Heavenly Dao was defeated. So, it chose to sacrifice the entire immortal world, gaining infinite power. When it wielded the Heavenly Sword and slashed at me, I was transported here.”

Everyone looked at Jiang Li with strange expressions, choosing to stand a little further away from him.

“This is the land of Saha, the place where life and death meet, where the damned gather to survive.”

“This is not a fantasy you had when you were on the verge of death. This is a real place!”

“Adventure, opportunity, evolution… everything you want, you can find it here!”

The skinny man laughed.

Jiang Li smiled as well. He seemed to have come to a very interesting place.
