Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 67

Chapter 67 The Magical Use of Stores

. “Using laws to control intelligent spiritual treasures will greatly benefit the prosperity of our Great Zhou,” Ji Zhi declared in an unassailable tone. “Let’s discuss the next topic: how to establish laws appropriate for spiritual treasures.”

The ministers agreed, understanding the Emperor’s logic.

The Great Zhou’s prosperity hinges on its laws. If some people disobey the laws, the national fortune declines. Conversely, if more “people” adhere to the laws, the national fortune grows. “

People” here doesn’t simply refer to humans, but all intelligent beings, such as humans, demons, and intelligent spiritual treasures.

No one knows the exact number of spiritual treasures in the Great Zhou, but everyone knows it’s likely more than they imagine. While

ten cultivators might possess only one high-grade spiritual weapon, low-grade spiritual weapons are everywhere.

Ji Zhi estimates that, on average, one low-grade spiritual weapon is in the possession of every three cultivators. If these spiritual weapons adhere to the laws of the Great Zhou, the national fortune will increase at a noticeable rate!

However, deciding on legislation is easy; how to enact it is difficult.

If the laws were unreasonable, and spiritual artifacts disobeyed them and exploited loopholes once they were enacted, the damage to the nation’s destiny would be immense.

Numerous ministers offered their opinions, only to be repeatedly found loopholes. When one loophole was patched, new ones would appear, causing great distress.

“I propose granting spiritual treasures the same rights as humans.”

“If a spiritual treasure breaks during combat, will the person be held responsible for their life?” “

What if a spiritual treasure kills someone?”

“Then ban them from killing.”

“Spiritual treasures can’t kill. Do cultivators fight with words?”

“Spiritual treasures must obey all their masters’ orders.”

“What if their master uses their spiritual treasure to commit suicide? Would it be considered murder or suicide?”

Previously, when new laws were enacted, there were at least existing ones to draw on. But this time, legislating for spiritual treasures was pure fabrication, a creation out of thin air.

Jiang Li floated above the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, waiting until the ministers had left the Yangxin Palace before he went to find Ji Zhi.

Ji Zhi looked haggard and listless, shocking Jiang Li. “Were you poisoned, or have you entered the Five Decays of Heaven?”

Ji Zhi rolled his eyes. “Can you speak? I’m just worried!”

“Because of the ministers’ discussion just now?”

“Isn’t it all about that Dao Sect’s Heaven-Breaking Seal? It’s causing all the spiritual treasures to gain spiritual intelligence!” Ji Zhi complained.

“How about you listen to my thoughts?” Jiang Li had come here specifically for this matter. He repeated his thoughts from the Dao Sect, causing Ji Zhi’s eyes to light up.

“Brilliant, Brother Jiang!” Ji Zhi understood immediately. These three rules and the additional rules Jiang Li proposed would prevent spiritual treasures from turning against their masters and set the overall tone.

With this foundation set, the remaining details could be quickly filled in and refined!

After Ji Zhi agreed, Jiang Li needed to find a place to retreat for a few days, so he returned to the Human Emperor Palace after a long absence.

The Human Emperor Palace holds a preeminent position, situated in the heart of Jiuzhou. Besides Jiang Li, the palace boasts six other masters: one in the Tribulation Crossing stage, five in the late Fusion stage, and a hundred Human Emperor guards. In Jiang Li’s absence, the Tribulation Crossing stage master has been stationed at the Palace year-round. There was

originally another Tribulation Crossing stage commander, but he perished in battle with the extraterritorial demons before Jiang Li ascended the throne, a truly tragic event.

“Palace Master!”

The two guards standing in the Palace lit up upon seeing Jiang Li, and they quickly straightened their erect bodies even more.

They felt a surge of emotion, almost wanting to cry. It had been so long since they had seen the Palace Master.

They had initially joined the Human Emperor Guards, expecting to be able to gaze upon the Human Emperor’s majesty daily. Who could have imagined that decades later, the Human Emperor’s visits to the Palace were few and far between, and

those occasions weren’t even their shifts.

According to his colleagues, the Palace Master visited Dao Sect more often than he returned to the Palace.

For someone who had served as the Human Emperor’s guard for decades, meeting the True Emperor for the first time was no small feat.

Jiang Li returned to his private cave and began his retreat.

He wrote furiously, effortlessly churning out techniques for the Fusion Stage, seemingly worthless as cabbage. Sometimes, with exceptional performance, he could even create a manual for the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Ten days later, the techniques in his cave were piled high, leaving no room for anything.

He sold them all to the system, using them to acquire a large quantity of Source Points.

The system, perhaps unprepared for the sheer volume of techniques Jiang Li could create, nearly crashed.

These techniques were numerous and of low quality, rendering them useless even after mastering them. For example, the Heaven-Devouring and Earth-Swallowing Technique required practitioners to eat ten times more than those of the same realm, but otherwise offered no other benefits. Another example, the No Thought and No Desire Technique, allowed practitioners to achieve a state of no thought and rapid sleep.

Despite this, these techniques were genuinely capable of reaching the Fusion Stage, and the system could only acquire them according to Fusion Stage standards.

Jiang Li’s vast catalog of techniques was sufficient, and Source Points swirled endlessly. Eventually, the system acquired all of them, displaying Jiang Li’s Source Points.

[Source Point: ???] 】

“What’s going on?” Jiang Li was puzzled. He bought something at random from the store, and found that the source point still showed “???”

Although he didn’t know what happened, Jiang Li knew that the source point seemed to be free.

When Jiang Li bought the Daozu Stele from the store, he knew that the things in the store were not created out of thin air, but really existed. Otherwise, there was no reason to go to other world stores to update them.

So the way to find the remaining immortal artifacts is obvious.

“Buy the Brahma Tower, the Great Confucian Calligraphy Copybook, the Ruyi Gourd, the Other Mountain Stone, the Dragon Ball, and the Ancient and Modern Sword.”

Jiang Li found these immortal artifacts in the store and clicked to buy them one by one.

Why do you have to go to other worlds? Isn’t online shopping good?

Six light circles appeared in the cave, and immortal artifacts fell from the light circles.

“What happened?”

“Where is this? I’m about to establish a dynasty!”

“It’s Emperor Jiang!”

The immortal artifacts chattered in a flurry. They had barely enjoyed a few days of leisure in other worlds when Jiang Li, through unknown means, pulled them back.

As for escaping, facing Jiang Li’s preparedness, none of them could escape.

However, not all of the immortal artifacts had been found. The Brahma Tower hadn’t fallen out of the aperture. Jiang Li saw the aperture tremble, then regain its composure. He attempted to pull the Brahma Tower back, but before he could, it had already escaped.

“As expected of an immortal artifact that wields spatial power, even the system can’t catch you.” Jiang Li wasn’t in a hurry. He’d bought the immortal artifact from the store as a trick. There were also cruder methods. Using the causal power of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, he could find the Brahma Tower wherever it fled, though it would take some time.

As for the Ancient and Modern Sword’s aperture, there was no movement at all. Jiang Li guessed that the Ancient and Modern Sword had escaped into the River of Time, where spatial methods were useless and the system was powerless.

He was about to set out to find the Brahma Tower when the system issued an intriguing quest.

The quest itself wasn’t important; it was the reward that attracted Jiang Li.
