Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 660

Chapter 658: Three friends from outside the city who don’t understand the rules of the Great Zhou

Emperor Shun is a legendary figure in the immortal world. As the immortal who is most proficient in the way of time, his whereabouts are comparable to those of the Taoist Ancestor, and he is impossible to find.

One immortal recalled that when he was very young, an immortal touched his head and granted him immortality. After he became an immortal, he drank with Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun smiled and said, “I touched your head when you were a child. Come, let me touch it again.”

Another immortal recalled that when he was a child, he met a fortune teller with extremely accurate predictions. The fortune teller said that he would become an immortal in the future. Then he found out that the fortune teller was Emperor Shun.

Another immortal recalled that when he was a child, he met an alien who said, “Remember to pay back the money. If you don’t pay it back, I will ask you to pay it back from childhood.”

Emperor Shun went to the underground casino in the immortal world to place a bet, and the owner of the casino lost everything.

Since then, casinos have signed that Emperor Shun is prohibited from entering. If the whereabouts of Emperor Shun are found, they will be closed for three days.

Can’t fight, but can’t afford to hide?

Everyone greeted Emperor Shun with politeness and smiles, fearing he might reveal something.

With Emperor Shun, there were no secrets.

Yuanzu had attempted to capture Emperor Shun before, but each time, by sheer coincidence, he was a few seconds too late, allowing him to escape.

For Yuanzu, a master of time, this was a profound humiliation. There was no such thing as coincidence; Emperor Shun must have calculated everything and escaped without a moment’s delay!

“What a prosperous national destiny!” Upon entering the Great Zhou, the three felt its extraordinary fortune, worthy of being the most powerful of the nine great dynasties.

Methods for condensing national destiny were practiced throughout the heavens and myriad realms, but this was the first time the three had seen anything as powerful as the Great Zhou.

“And how about that Emperor Jiang Ren, who enters and exits the underworld with ease, even welcomed by the Ten Yama Kings lining the streets? What a grand occasion…” A powerful storyteller’s voice emanated from the teahouse, drawing the three’s attention.

Entering the teahouse, the three found so many people gathered to listen that there wasn’t even room to sit.

Wu Han took a fancy to a table, threw someone out of the teahouse, and took his seat. Others dared not speak out.

The story now concerned the section of “The Legend of Emperor Jiang Ren,” where

Emperor Jiang Ren visited the underworld three times to search for his past life. “Though the Ten Yama Kings are powerful, they are inferior to Emperor Jiang Ren. When Emperor Jiang Ren traveled through the underworld, the Yama Kings personally introduced it to the underworld.”

“A living person going to the underworld? These people from Jiuzhou are really boastful. Ignorance is fearless.” The man with snake eyes sneered. What a place the underworld is. Anyone who goes there will become a dead person, and there is no hope of returning to the living world, even if you are the biological child of the Hunyuan Wuji Immortal.

“…Facing the sixteenth calamity of becoming an immortal, the same thunder calamity as when Daozu became the Hunyuan Wuji Immortal, Jiang Renhuang smiled slightly, performed a move of “The Universe in His Sleeves”, and the heaven and earth were contained in his sleeves. No matter how great your cultivation was, you could not escape from his sleeves. The sixteenth calamity of becoming an immortal was collected in Jiang Renhuang’s sleeves…”

“There is still a second round of calamity of becoming an immortal. The power of this second round is even more terrifying. It seems that it can even shatter the heaven and earth. The afterglow of thunder blinds the eyes. Even immortals are not qualified to watch…”

“What kind of person is Jiang Renhuang? How can he take this kind of calamity of becoming an immortal seriously? He is a sword cultivator who is the only one in the way of swordsmanship. He can open the sky with one sword, and the heavens are trembling with fear…”

“A brilliant sword illuminates the world, like a guiding light, giving all beings direction in the darkness. All beings bow down in worship and recite the name of Jiang Renhuang…”

The three people sneered after listening to the storyteller’s exaggerated words.

“It’s just a story, it can’t be true. If he’s so powerful, why doesn’t he come to the Celestial Realm to develop his power instead of hiding in this tiny Nine Provinces?”

They were all immortals who had ascended from the Lower Realm to the Celestial Realm.

Wu Han spoke these words without muffling his voice, and the others heard clearly, feeling uncomfortable and casually sarcastically saying,

“Jiang Renhuang is invincible, why would he need to ascend to the Celestial Realm? Why should the strong need to move elsewhere? Wherever Jiang Renhuang is, the strongest world is!”

“How shameless!” Wu Han felt that the people of Nine Provinces had a certain ignorance of their own highness, a disrespect for heaven and earth, and this was not good.

Just as Wu Han was about to kill someone, a commotion erupted outside the teahouse.

“It was them! They beat us up in public and threw us out!”

The people Wu Han had thrown out went to the authorities and ordered the officers to arrest Wu Han.

“Arrest me?” Wu Han stood up and stretched his muscles, looking at the others as if they were dead.

The man with snake eyes and the man with tiger stripes stood as steady as a rock, waiting for the blood to flow.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger was also one of the pleasures of investigating in the Lower Realm.

Killing a few people wasn’t enough to cause the Netherfire Immortal Lord to get upset.

…

“Give me a bowl of Dayong Banmian (flat noodles) with two eggs. I want it seasoned and with lots of chili peppers; I can handle spicy food.”

A customer arrived at the noodle stall outside the teahouse and expertly ordered noodles.

“Sir, your noodles are here. There’s garlic on the table, please help yourself.”

The customer took a bite of the chili pepper, which was spicy and fragrant. His eyes lit up. “Boss, these Dayong Banmian are really authentic!”

“Of course! My family has been from the Great Zhou for eight generations. Absolutely authentic!”

Seeing the customer’s knowledge and the lack of business at the time, the boss sat down to chat.

“Sir, you look unfamiliar. You’re not from around here, are you?”

“My name is Zhou Li, and I’m from Qingcheng.”

“From Qingcheng, fellow Jiang Renhuang. What are you doing here?”

Jiang Li pointed to the teahouse nearby. “There are three friends from out of town. I’m worried they might be acting rudely and not understand the rules of the Great Zhou, so I’ve come to warn them.”

“It’s not easy.”

“Who said they weren’t? Can’t you just be quiet for a moment? I just got back from a business trip to another world and haven’t even had a bite to eat, and I’ve already encountered something like this.” Jiang Li complained after taking a bite of his egg.

Jiang Li slowly finished his noodles and the soup, wiped the red oil from his mouth, and contentedly stood up and walked towards the teahouse.

…

“Catch me?” Wu Han was about to use his immortal power to punish these ignorant mortals. He threw a punch, so weak and mortal that even a Foundation Establishment Stage official could catch it.

“What’s going on?” Wu Han was horrified. His immortal power had been sealed without him even noticing!

How could the man with snake eyes and tiger stripes stand by and watch their companions be captured? They shouted, summoning their immortal arts to attack, only to discover that not a trace of their immortal energy remained, having vanished.

“How dare you attack the officers! What a burden! Take these three away and bring them back to the yamen for trial!” The officers apprehended the three.

“Do you know who I am? Filthy mortals are unworthy to touch my immortal body!” the man with snake eyes lost his composure and screamed, terrified, unsure of what had happened.

Their pride stemmed from their immortal powers, and now that their immortal powers were gone, their immortal bodies transformed into mortals, how could they not be terrified?

Even the usually composed man with tiger stripes grew uneasy. The waters of Jiuzhou were too complex, and he still hadn’t figured out what had gone wrong.

Could it be that Jiuzhou had some repressive laws that suppressed outsiders’ ranks?

The officers sighed. These three men were feigning madness.

Were they trying to circumvent punishment by exploiting the exception that “mentally ill individuals are not guilty of crimes during a period of illness”? They

seemed quite knowledgeable about the law.

Jiang Li smiled, his hands behind his back, and went to the yamen to watch the excitement unfold.
