Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 668

Chapter 666: The Appearance of the Venerable Shenzang

Realm, Daluo Heaven.

The Buddha’s light is boundless, the teachings of Confucianism are enduring.

Generally, Buddhism and Confucianism are portrayed as peaceful entities, advocating non-v*olence and reason. However, in Daluo Heaven, this impression is shattered.

Daluo Heaven is now extremely dangerous. Even a top-ranked Golden Immortal like the Immortal Lord of Hell dare not journey there. A single ray of Buddha’s light, a single word from a Confucian sage, is enough to annihilate a Golden Immortal.

Only the Hunyuan Wuji Immortal is worthy of entering Daluo Heaven.

“Confucian sage, are you still stubbornly stubborn?” The Buddha sat cross-legged on a lotus, his expression compassionate, yet his methods utterly drastic.

“The Daozu is dead, and the Venerable Shenzang is the inevitable outcome of the situation. Why do you still have to hold on?”

“Now that the great purge is underway, all the heavens and the underworld cannot escape the fate of being purged. Now that you have turned from darkness to light and submitted to the Way of Heaven, there will still be a place for you in the future of the Immortal Realm.”

“The Venerable remembers that you have preached the Dharma to the Heavens and the Myriad Worlds and made great contributions to its birth and strengthening. He cannot bear to kill you, which is why I have been persuading you.”

“If the Venerable’s patience is worn out, then I will not be the only one to take action!”

The Confucian sage splashed ink to form words, blocking the Buddha’s voice, and slowly said: “The Daozu has taught me the Dharma. He is both my teacher and my friend. If he needs help, I will help him, and his revenge, I will avenge him.”

“Buddha, the Daozu has also taught you the Dharma and enlightened you. Have you forgotten all that?”

“Superficial!” The Buddha showed a fierce look of diamond, “If you and I both sit in the Immortal Realm, the process of destroying the Heavens and the Myriad Worlds will be even faster than it is now. You have delayed the entire plan for your own selfish reasons!”

“Revenge? What right do you have for revenge? You and I have not been able to determine the winner for nine thousand years. What can you use to take revenge?”

“Just with your mouth?!”

“The black tide is about to sweep the world. Our world and other parallel worlds cannot escape the fate of destruction.”

“If we don’t destroy the world in advance before the black tide arrives to ensure that Venerable Shenzang becomes the last person to obtain the qualification to restart the world and resist the black tide, what else can we do?”

“You keep saying that you support Daozu and that the immortal world should not destroy the heavens and all worlds. Then how should we save ourselves?”

“Daozu had no other choice and still fought to the end, so he died. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?”

“You are not ‘righteous’, but ‘stupid’, hypocritical.”

“Don’t you understand the truth that there is no construction without destruction?”

“You preached in the heavens, opened up the spiritual wisdom for the human race, and were respected as the teacher of all worlds. In the end, you yourself didn’t understand it.”

The Confucian sage was silent. Indeed, he knew that what the Buddha said was right. There was no second solution. He was just stubbornly resisting for no reason.

Just as the two were about to resume their battle, they sensed movement beneath their feet and a flash of light that illuminated the entire Immortal Realm.

“The Immortal Emperor has unleashed the Immortal Burial Spear?”

they were astonished. What was the Immortal Emperor planning? Who was he fighting?

Besides the resurrected Dao Ancestor, who else could be worthy of the Immortal Emperor’s weaponry?

It couldn’t be that the Immortal Emperor was being reckless, wielding the Immortal Burial Spear against the Divine Treasure Venerable.

That wouldn’t be the Immortal Burial Spear, but the Heaven Burial Spear.

Having fought continuously for nine thousand years, the two men simultaneously decided to cease fighting, leaving Daluo Heaven to investigate.

Their shock was no less than that of the other immortals, so shocking they could hardly believe their own eyes.

What did they witness? A strange cultivator pinned the Immortal Emperor down, each blow heavier and more ferocious than the last.

And this was the Immortal Emperor, empowered by a formation of immortals, equivalent to the power of most of the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Emperor wasn’t fighting alone, but alongside nearly a thousand Celestial Immortals and dozens of Golden Immortals.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor had reached an unprecedented state, his strongest form since attaining enlightenment, his most glorious moment.

The Primordial Wuji, where chaos merges into one, is the beginning of primordial energy, the ultimate limit of what any living being can achieve.

The Immortal Emperor, having comprehended the laws of life’s evolution, is most familiar with them. His current state represents the limit of all living beings, beyond which no further improvement is possible.

The Immortal Emperor is at his worst point since his enlightenment, his face bruised and swollen, half his front teeth knocked out.

If they were not both Primordial Wuji Immortals, with exceptional vision, able to discern the Immortal Emperor’s limit, outsiders, seeing his dejected state, would never have considered him the most powerful being in the immortal realm.

The Immortal Emperor, like a phoenix soaring through the sky, encountered Jiang Li, plucked his feathers and plunged into the water, becoming a drowned rat. The immortals

formed a formation, sharing their power with the Immortal Emperor, who in turn shared his injuries with the others. The immortals vomited blood, their internal organs transformed into thick water and gushed out of their seven orifices in a scene of unbearable tragedy.

The immortals used their merits to repair their bodies, only to be shattered again by Jiang Li, and the cycle repeated, leaving them with no strength to resist.

He single-handedly crushed the immortal realm—a claim not even myths or legends would dare to compose.

Words couldn’t describe the horror and awe that gripped the Immortal Emperor.

How could such a powerful being exist in the world? Surpassing the Primordial Wuji Immortal, transcending the limits of life, reaching an unprecedented realm, powerful enough to rival the Divine Treasure.

Could life truly defy the will of Heaven?

This person’s power had absolutely nothing to do with the Embryo of the Heavenly Dao in Jiuzhou. Even sacrificing the Embryo of the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t yield such power.

The Immortal Emperor was horrified, and the Duye Senior Envoy among the immortals was so terrified that he contemplated suicide.

He had originally planned to see Jiang Li and the Immortal Emperor both suffer defeat, or perhaps Jiang Li be killed by the Immortal Emperor, thus ensuring no one would hold him accountable.

Now, it seemed Jiang Li’s power far exceeded his expectations, and the Immortal Emperor was no match for him.

What the hell had he nurtured by his carelessness?!

“Venerable, save me!” the Immortal Emperor cried out, his cries piercing through the thirty-six heavens, reaching the Heaven Beyond Heaven, where the Divine Treasure was in seclusion.

Clang, clang, clang—as

the Immortal Emperor’s cries for help faded, a magnificent bell echoed from the heavens, like the sound of nature, enchanting the listeners.

It seems as if the sound of the bell has never stopped from ancient times to the present day, and it seems as if the sound of the bell comes from the heart and has been echoing in the ears. It is only now that I realize that there is a bell sound in my heart.

“Qiongxiao, why have you interrupted my retreat?” the figure uttered the Immortal Emperor’s true name.

The sound of a bell, morphing into human speech, resonated in the hearts of the crowd.

A figure in simple clothing descended from the heavens. With each step, boundless water rose from beneath their feet, supporting them.

Untouched by the dust of the world, their face expressionless, their skin delicate, their features androgynous, indistinguishable from male or female.

Anyone who saw them would be reminded of the most beautiful things in the world.

Their beauty was supreme, their charm transcending gender, species, and time; they embodied all beauty.

If the beauty of a mortal fairy was the ultimate in uncontrollable beauty, then this person was the ultimate in controllable beauty.

Jiang Li recognized them instantly.

“Reverend Shenzang.”

Reverend Shenzang’s gaze swept from the Immortal Emperor pleading for help, to the Buddha and Confucian sage who had paused their battle, finally resting on Jiang Li.

Venerable Shenzang frowned slightly. “You’re such a strange person! I control all beings in the universe, but how come I only just discovered you exist now that I see you? Even in my presence, your karma is incredibly vague and difficult to discern. What are your origins?” This was

the first time Venerable Shenzang had encountered such an inscrutable being.

“All beings in the universe must follow the rules of life evolution. They are divided into twelve levels: mortal, Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, fusion, tribulation crossing, earth immortal, celestial immortal, golden immortal, and Hunyuan Wuji immortal. Unless you are not one of these twelve levels.”

Venerable Shenzang is bound by nine major rules, yet, as long as he does not violate them, he is invincible and has unlimited authority.

Logically, no one is beyond his control.

Strange.
