Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Three Rules of Lingbao

Jiang Li tried, but couldn’t bring the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal back to Jiuzhou through the system-provided transmission channel.

Fortunately, the one thing they shared was a sturdy build, impervious to the turbulent void. With the coordinates provided by the system, Jiang Li shattered the space and returned to Jiuzhou through the void.

Then they were blocked outside by the formation.

The door they had installed themselves couldn’t open.

“There’s an alien demon… Oh, it’s Brother Jiang.” Tianhuang Ji, the core of the formation, thought an alien demon was invading and stopped mid-sentence.

Tianhuang Ji felt uncomfortable seeing the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal with Jiang Li, feeling betrayed.

“I was here first.”

Jiang Li brought the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal back to Dao Sect. After this experience, it no longer cared about the Lingbao Dynasty, choosing to remain in Jiuzhou. “

Master was killed by an alien demon. I wouldn’t be an immortal artifact if I didn’t avenge this!”

In Jiuzhou, there was no fear of alien demons attacking!

Jiang Li recounted the entire incident to Bai Hongtu and Changcun Xianweng.

Although they had already seen Daozu’s corpse via the remote communication talisman, Jiang Li’s account of it was a completely different experience.

“Can you sense the karma of the ascended predecessors?”

Yin Yang Tianyin shook itself. “No, it’s like it’s completely vanished.”

Jiang Li crossed his hands, resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

The Yin Yang Tianyin sensed Daozu’s karma on that continent, proving its causal power wasn’t ineffective. It couldn’t sense Ah Qing’s karma, perhaps because he had been transformed by the Extraterritorial Demon.

If this theory held true, could the ascended predecessors also…

But that wasn’t right. Why couldn’t it see its own karma? He had been a native of Jiuzhou since he was eighteen.

It couldn’t be that he had been an Extraterritorial Demon in a previous life.

“Do you need to erase the spiritual intelligence of the spiritual treasures?” Yin Yang Tianyin stood obediently on the table, his expression aloof, as if to do whatever you say.

It added, “Let’s make it clear first. I can’t erase the spiritual intelligence of immortal artifacts. They should have generated souls by now. Other spiritual treasures can, but they don’t generate souls as quickly as immortal artifacts.”

“Erase it, though I’m a little reluctant,” Bai Hongtu said regretfully.

“Jiang Li, didn’t you say that everything is a double-edged sword? I believe spiritual treasures with spiritual intelligence are also a double-edged sword. We worry about spiritual treasures harming people, but spiritual treasures can also increase a cultivator’s offensive capabilities.”

“I held a temporary competition in Dao Sect, inviting spiritual treasure disciples with good relationships with their masters to participate and allowing them to use spiritual treasures.” “

The results were unexpected. The spiritual treasures seemed to be in tune with their masters, making them very easy to use. Furthermore, the spiritual treasures developed their own consciousness, proactively aiding their masters in attack, and their overall strength improved. Outer disciples defeating inner disciples, and inner disciples defeating core disciples, were common occurrences in competitions.”

Bai Hongtu also took out his Falling Rain Sword: “This is my sword. I’m letting it learn sword techniques now, and it’s improving rapidly.”

With that, the Falling Rain Sword danced with its own swordsmanship, having actually mastered three-quarters of Bai Hongtu’s swordsmanship!

“I’m not bragging, everyone knows I, Bai Hongtu, am known as the Sword Immortal!

I’m far superior to some who only know one sword move, the Heart Sword!” “This is the result of just a few days of learning the Falling Rain Sword!” Bai Hongtu demonstrated the benefits of spiritual treasures generating spiritual intelligence.

Jiang Li felt he was being implied.

“No, there’s no need to eliminate the spiritual treasure’s spiritual intelligence for now,” Jiang Li said, leaving Yin Yang Tian Yin and Chang Cun Xian Weng puzzled.

Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li with hope; he knew Jiang Li could come up with a solution.

Jiang Li found inspiration in the world of ringing bells.

“Let’s do an experiment first, starting with the Great Zhou. I’ll convince Ji Zhi. Specifically, have the Great Zhou enact a law. Lingbao are not immortal artifacts and cannot sustain themselves. We can grant them certain rights, such as helping them improve their quality, daily maintenance, etc., and set rules and restrictions on them.”

“First, they cannot harm their masters;”

“Second, Lingbao must obey the orders given by their masters, except when the orders conflict with the first rule;”

“Third, Lingbao must protect their own survival as much as possible without violating the first and second rules;”

“And as an additional rule, the overall interests of the human race in Jiuzhou must be protected from harm. The first three provisions are only valid under this premise.”

“Considering the uniqueness of the Great Zhou, even if it succeeds, the effects of laws enacted by other dynasties may not be as good.”

“I remember someone in Dao Sect practicing the less popular Dao of Contracts. We could try codifying these three rules and additional ones in a written contract, and have the spirit treasure’s owner and spirit treasure sign the contract.”

Bai Hongtu and Changcun Xianweng calculated, finding no loopholes in the rules. They marveled at Jiang Li’s idea, believing that if it could be successfully implemented, Jiuzhou’s strength would soar, and naturally supported it.

As for the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, it couldn’t find any loopholes in the rules.

“What are you going to do next? Go to other worlds to find immortal artifacts?” Bai Hongtu asked, apparently giving Jiang Li no time to rest.

“No, I have a new idea I want to try.”

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal remained in Dao Sect. Before trying this new idea, Jiang Li planned to travel to the Great Zhou.

Ji Zhi was currently engaged in a heated discussion with the ministers.

“I believe that spirit treasures should be governed by law! Since spirit treasures have developed intelligence, it’s like demonic beasts arriving in our Great Zhou, abandoning their predatory ways. They should be subject to the jurisdiction of the law, granted rights, and required to fulfill obligations!” the Left Prime Minister declared, bowing.

“Left Prime Minister, your statement is wrong. Spiritual treasures have been objects since ancient times. How can we grant them rights? This goes against tradition and common sense. We should still treat spiritual treasures like domestic animals, recognizing their life, but we can kill or plunder them at will.” The Right Prime Minister refuted the Left Prime Minister.

“The spiritual treasures’ intelligence is a change that hasn’t happened in ten thousand years. How can we use this as an excuse to cling to the past? If the law can’t adapt to the times, it’s not just the law that will be abandoned, but also our Great Zhou!”

“Minister of Justice, stop your alarmist rhetoric!”

“Alarmist rhetoric?” The Minister sneered. “Truth be told, what alarmist rhetoric is!”

“The Great Ancestor could travel through time, so he naturally anticipated today’s changes. The laws he established only stipulated the rights and obligations of humans and demons, and made no mention of spiritual treasures, indicating that they didn’t need special treatment!”

“If the Great Ancestor could foresee everything, why didn’t he say when the extraterritorial demons would arrive?”

“How dare you question the Great Ancestor!”

“Right Prime Minister! Everyone should be discussing the issue honestly, and you’re the only one making false accusations!” Ji Zhi was furious.

“Incorporate spiritual treasures into the laws of our Great Zhou.” Ji Zhi made the final decision.
