Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 681

Chapter 679: The Emperor’s Ascension

to Heaven. The Great Zhou Imperial Palace is home to most of the high-ranking cultivators from the Nine Provinces.

These people had originally been summoned by Jiang Li and gathered at the border of the Great Zhou. Half an hour had already passed since Jiang Li vanished after killing three Golden Immortals and chasing after the Celestial Origin Immortal Lord.

During this time, Ji Zhi, feeling that this place was still considered part of the Great Zhou territory and that he should fulfill his duties as a host, suggested that everyone come to the Great Zhou Imperial Palace to rest and await Jiang Li’s return.

No one cared, but Ji Zhi’s kindness

was too much to refuse, so he agreed. Upon hearing this news, the officials from the Ministry of Rites nearly died from a heart attack.

Generally speaking, all high-ranking cultivators from the Nine Provinces visiting the Great Zhou were required to prepare at least seven days in advance. Now, His Majesty had suddenly pulled this tactic, leaving no time for preparation. Did he think everyone in the Ministry of Rites was supernatural?

Inside the main hall, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin played chess while complaining about Jiang Li’s inefficiency: “It’s already been half an hour, why hasn’t Jiang Li made a move?”

“A mere immortal realm? Half an hour won’t do it.”

“Hurry up and make your move. If you lose, we can just play another game.” Bai Hongtu urged Yu Yin, yawning with boredom.

Yu Yin frowned slightly, still considering where to place the white piece.

“Sword Lord, I’ve trained every part of my body to achieve an impervious golden body. There’s no dead zone, not even my hair.”

“My hair is as strong as my body. Now it’s too long, and I want to cut it, but I can’t find a suitable razor. Can you help me with a haircut?”

“…Okay.”

Sword Lord was silent for a moment, then realized his opponent wasn’t joking, so he drew his sword and shaved his head.

“Your training method is wrong. As a demon beast, how come you don’t have any wildness at all? You need to work hard to cultivate the wildness within you.” Li Er instructed a demon king in the Fusion Stage on how to cultivate.

The demon king wondered why Li Er was so familiar with the demon cultivation methods.

“Master Tianming, you of the Tianji Tower are known for knowing everything. I have a question that has been bothering me, and I’d like to take this opportunity to ask.”

“Tell me, there’s nothing we in the Tianji Tower don’t know.”

“How many versions of ‘The Legend of Emperor Jiang’ are there?”

“You’re ruining the party, aren’t you?”

Ji Zhi sat on the imperial chair, watching the officials of the Ministry of Rites bustling about entertaining guests while the cultivators happily exchanged their cultivation experiences. He held his forehead and sighed, “No one really cares about Jiang Li’s safety.”

Ji Zhi sighed, then turned to the old Dragon King sitting closest to him and said,

“Old Dragon King, our officials have recently reported that someone in the coastal areas is profiting from illegal salt trafficking. It’s rampant. How about you and our Great Zhou jointly conduct law enforcement?” The

old Dragon King frowned. Salt trafficking was a vital source of income for the Four Seas, and yet someone dared to take advantage of it here.

“The Four Seas agree. Some sea creatures are truly audacious. Once caught, we will show no mercy.”

Ji Zhi and the old Dragon King discussed joint law enforcement, completely ignoring Jiang Li.

“Look, what’s that!” someone exclaimed, witnessing the magnificent sight outside the hall.

The golden Immortal Stairway, seemingly cast in gold, shrouded in Daoist auras, stretched from the void to the Nine Provinces.

As for where the other end of the Immortal Stairway led, it was self-evident.

“Is this… the Immortal Stairway?!” Bai Hongtu narrowed his eyes, quickly connecting the stories he’d heard as a child, lying on the lap of the Immortal Master Changcun, with reality.

“This is the Immortal Stairway!” Li Er leaped to his feet. Unexpectedly, the Immortal Stairway had connected the Nine Provinces without a single sign.

“This was Jiang Li’s doing.”

Everyone, shocked, emerged from the hall and headed outside.

The Immortal Stairway had become a legend in the Nine Provinces. Of the living, only the Immortal Master Changcun had personally seen it; the rest could only glimpse its grandeur from descriptions in ancient immortal texts.

“The Dao of Space, the Dao of Time, the Dao of Swords, the Dao of Alchemy… It truly is the culmination of the Immortal Realm, truly magnificent!”

the merged beings exclaimed. The Dao contained within the Immortal Ladder was so vast that even a lifetime could not fully comprehend even a single one.

Imagine the magnificent spectacle of the Immortal Realm at its peak, with countless ladders extending from the Immortal Realm, reaching the myriad heavens and realms, and immortals roaming the vast expanse.

Normally, only those in the Tribulation Crossing stage could see the Immortal Ladder, but now, newly completed, all of Jiuzhou could see it.

At that moment, Jiuzhou hit the pause button, and everyone stopped their work and gazed upwards.

Or rather, they gazed at the Immortal Ladder that Jiuzhou had longed for for nine thousand years.

They stood stunned, their shock inexpressible.

This was a myth reborn, this was a miracle reborn!

“Look, there’s someone on the ladder!”

Just now, everyone had watched in amazement as the Immortal Ladder appeared. Only now did they notice a towering figure atop the golden ladder. Clad in a spotless white robe, it seemed detached and detached from the mundane world.

Who else could this figure be but Jiang Li?

“It’s Jiang Renhuang! It’s

Jiang Renhuang!” “Jiang Renhuang has attained immortality! He’s heading for the Celestial Realm!”

“Yes, it’s Jiang Renhuang!”

Seeing Jiang Li ascend the Immortal Ladder, the people cheered with joy, tears streaming down their faces, sobbing softly. They were happier than if they had achieved immortality themselves. Their words were incoherent, as if they were speaking to themselves, yet also to others.

Everyone chattered, oblivious to what others were saying.

They had no idea what Jiang Li’s ascent to the Immortal Ladder meant, nor what Jiang Li was destined for in the Celestial Realm, but at that moment, they were all genuinely happy for him.

Immortal energy emanated from both sides of the ladder, threatening to transform Jiang Li’s spiritual energy into immortal power.

In the long history of immortality, no one had ever refused the baptism of immortal power.

But Jiang Li refused, he rejected the immortal power from his body, and the immortal power swirled around him, enveloping him.

Surrounded by the immortal power, Jiang Li seemed to have ascended to heaven, more like an immortal than an immortal.

Immortal Changcun left Fengji Cave and gazed at Jiang Li’s figure. Gradually, he no longer saw the present Jiang Li, but the young cultivator at the Jindan stage.

The figure of the young cultivator gradually overlapped with the present Jiang Li, becoming one. “Immortal!”

In the Red Dust Pure Land, Fairy Hongchen sat on the branches of a fairy peach tree, gazing at Jiang Li on the celestial ladder, her face filled with curiosity.

Inside the Human Emperor Palace, Commander Liu stood by the window, watching the Palace Master ascend to immortality. He felt a mixture of emotions, wanting to say something, yet unwilling to say anything.

All his thoughts dissolved into a satisfied smile.

Jiang Li walked along the Immortal Ladder, hands behind his back, step by step towards the immortal realm.

Finally, he reached the end of the ladder and stopped. A massive bronze gate surrounded by stars blocked his way. He shed

his mortal body, ascended the ladder, pushed the immortal gate, and knocked on the immortal door.

Immortals who wish to ascend to the immortal realm must bow three times at the end of the ladder to show respect for the immortal world before they can push through the gate and enter.

Furthermore, those without immortal power cannot push open this door.

This rule has never been broken by anyone; it is the inevitable process of becoming an immortal.

Jiang Li is a rule-abiding person, and his choice is very clear.

Jiang Li swung his fist and smashed the immortal door open with one punch.

“Immortal world, here I come again.”
