Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 661

Chapter 659 How could I, Zhou Li, lie to you?

“You three can’t produce identification and are stateless. According to the principle of territorial jurisdiction, the Great Zhou has jurisdiction.”

“Since you refused to undergo a mental health test, it is presumed that you do not have any mental illness.”

“Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, publicly assaulting someone, and resisting law enforcement, you are sentenced to fifteen days of administrative detention.”

The injuries Wu Han had thrown out of the teahouse weren’t serious enough to warrant a criminal offense.

“If you disagree with the punishment, you may appeal to higher authorities within ten days.” “

I appeal to you, my uncle!” Wu Han cursed internally, his rage boiling. He had never suffered such a humiliation.

A mere Nascent Soul cultivator had judged the three of them and then imprisoned them.

When I regain my strength, you’ll be the first one I kill!

The three had never experienced such a humiliation before. They wanted to resist, but they were no different from ordinary people. The officials forced them into a dark and dank prison.

The man with snake eyes quickly calmed down: “We must remember this lesson. The weak have no possibility of resistance. If we were cultivators, how could we end up like this?”

The prisoners who were also imprisoned sneered: “What kind of bullshit lesson is this? If you don’t have the ability, don’t be a life mentor. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. Do cultivators have privileges? Not to mention you, even if you are the king of heaven, if you commit a crime in the territory of the Great Zhou, you will be locked up.”

“As a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, I am staying here honestly.”

The three of them only then noticed that the ratio of mortals and cultivators in the prison was half and half, and the cultivator with the highest cultivation level was in the God Transformation Stage.

Wu Han snorted coldly, “You, a dignified cultivator of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, have stooped to the point of being bound by the law, and yet you’re so smug about it! How ridiculous!

You’ve brought disgrace upon the entire cultivator community.” The Spiritual Transformation cultivator, undeterred by the three, said, “Who is truly being disgraced? Think carefully. Strength and weakness are always relative. You willfully bully the weak and wield the power of life and death. When the stronger ones kill you, don’t complain.”

“How dare you curse me!”

the tiger-striped man stopped Wu Han. “Alright, stop arguing with a lesser cultivator. It

‘s beneath your dignity.” Wu Han thought about it, realizing the truth, and fell silent.

“For now, the most important thing is to restore my cultivation. Find a way to contact Lord Luwu, inform him of our predicament, and ask him for a solution.”

“I can’t use my immortal power or spiritual energy. I can’t even open my storage ring.”

“From what you three say, your cultivation has been sealed?” the prisoner next door asked with interest.

“So what?” Wu Han said unhappily.

The man said with a smile, “You must have stowed away from another world. I’ve seen many of you.”

“Please tell me more, fellow Daoist,” the tiger-striped man asked without hesitation.

Wu Han and the man with snake eyes knew the tiger-striped man was a truly arrogant immortal. Now, to curry favor, he’d been forced to address him as “fellow Daoist.” He knew he’d kill him and destroy the evidence when he regained his cultivation.

The man, unaware of the danger the tiger-striped man posed, continued, “Daozu and Emperor Shun once set up a formation in the Great Zhou. Anyone from another world who stows away in the Great Zhou without registering will have their body and magic power sealed.”

The tiger-striped man nodded. No wonder he’d been fine in the Great Wu Kingdom, only to become like this upon arriving in the Great Zhou. Blaming Daozu and Emperor Shun for their actions would explain it.

Anything these two could do was unsurprising.

“Then how do we break the seal?”

“Just leave the Great Zhou.”

The three exchanged glances, delighted.

“May I know your name?”

“Zhou Li.”

Over the past fifteen days, the three had been busy, asking Zhou Li about the earth veins.

“No wonder Lord Luwu ordered us to investigate the Nine Provinces’ earth veins. Judging from the description, it’s very likely the prototype of the Heavenly Dao. The Immortal Lord of Hellfire is in big trouble!” Wu Han said excitedly. If they could bring down the Immortal Lord of Hellfire, Lord Luwu would not hesitate to reward them generously.

Fifteen days later, the three were released from prison, coincidentally, as was Zhou Li.

“Are you three leaving Great Zhou? It just so happens that I’m also leaving Great Zhou for the Human Emperor Palace. How about joining us?” Zhou Li offered.

“Okay, since we’re both headed to the Human Emperor Palace,” the tiger-striped man agreed. They were unfamiliar with the area, so having a local guide would be best.

“The food in this prison is bland. I’m craving something spicy. I know a place that serves authentic banmian. Would you three like to join us?”

“Let’s go.”

…

“Boss, four servings of banmian. Add an egg for me, and a deluxe version for you three, with egg, sausage, bean chops, and everything else.”

Seeing Zhou Li’s smile, the boss jokingly asked, “What’s the good news?”

Zhou Li’s smile widened. “You three are about to leave, and I’m thinking of having a good meal before we go.”

Upon hearing this, the boss lowered his spoon and scooped up three soybean-sized chunks of beef from the bottom, placing them in the three’s bowls as a token of his appreciation.

After their meal, the four departed the Great Zhou.

“You three are outsiders, unregistered. It’s difficult for you to travel by official road or by car. There are numerous obstacles,” Zhou Li explained, justifying his reasoning for leading the three through the desolate mountains and wilderness.

The three hadn’t experienced the hardships of ordinary life in a long time. Their hair was disheveled, leaves and insects in their hair, and they looked utterly unkempt.

“Finally, finally, my strength has returned!” The three sensed the loosening of the seal and returned to the realm of celestial immortals.

Unwilling to dirty his hands, the tiger-striped man winked at the snake-eyed man, telling him to deal with Zhou Li.

He produced a communication talisman, ready to contact Lu Wu Xianjun to report the situation.

“It’s still quite a distance from here to the Human Emperor Palace, and it won’t be easy to walk there. Since you three have regained your strength, could you fly me there?” Zhou Li asked, oblivious to the impending danger.

The snake-eyed man gave a cruel smile: “Little brother, your heart is too heavy. We can just take your heart to the Human Emperor Palace.”

Wu Han flexed his limbs, unleashing the might of a celestial being, ready to cause a scene.

The embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao has been born, so there’s no need to be timid. They’ve suffered too much humiliation in Jiuzhou, and it needs to be erased with blood.

Zhou Li’s hair stood on end, and he said in a trembling voice, “You, you don’t force me to do it.”

Wu Han laughed: “Just try…”

In a flash of white light, Wu Han’s head and body were severed, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. Before the celestial pressure could be fully released, he vanished without a trace.

“I’ve never heard of such a request,”

Zhou Li said indifferently.

…

“Lord Luwu, it’s certain that the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao has been born in Jiuzhou, and the Human Emperor is the spokesperson for the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao. The three of us are preparing to go to the Human Emperor Palace to obtain evidence and control the Human Emperor and the earth veins.”

From the other end of the communication symbol, immortal music lingered, as if ascending to heaven, a feeling of floating.

Luwu heard the tiger-striped man’s report, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

“Yingzhao, you’ve done well… Who’s behind you?”

Yingzhao turned around suddenly, his eyes wide with shock.

Zhou Li walked slowly towards them, as if strolling leisurely in a garden. Behind him were two massive corpses: Wu Han’s Heavenly Witch True Body and the snake-eyed man’s Xiangliu True Body. Their movement, and stillness, were incredibly striking.

Zhou Li gripped Ying Zhao’s neck with one hand and picked up the communication talisman with the other.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Li, and I’m the Human Emperor you’re looking for.”
