Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 699
Chapter 697 What happy occasion is today?
After the event, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin left, while the three Lords remained on the teleportation array at the Myriad Realms Shuttle Center.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Li asked.
Lord Entropy Increased hesitated, “It’s like this, Emperor Jiang Ren, you see, we now have a ladder to immortality in Jiuzhou, and as a half-step Earthly Immortal, I’m just short of some immortal energy…”
Jiang Li understood that Lord Entropy Increased was seeking immortality.
“It’s not difficult, there’s just one problem.” Jiang Li pulled out the ladder from his arms, and Lord Entropy Increased drooled at the sight.
The ultimate goal of a cultivator is to achieve immortality.
Jiang Li explained, “To build a ladder to immortality, you need a starting point and an end point.”
“The starting point is easy, just the original location. The original end point was the Immortal Realm, but now that it’s gone, we need to find a new one.”
The three Lords pondered. This was indeed a question.
What was the most important thing in achieving immortality? Power? Of course not. Power was important, but even more important was the sense of ritual.
You can’t claim the Immortal Ladder ends at the Hehuan Sect. When someone asks you how you became an immortal, you say you went to the Hehuan Sect via the Immortal Ladder.
That’s outrageous and disrespectful. If that gets out, what kind of person will the Lord of Entropy Increase become?
“Set it at the Dao Sect? Isn’t it said that all things originate from the Dao Sect? And the Dao Sect also has the Immortal Eternal Elder, representing the orthodoxy of the Daoist ancestor.”
“That doesn’t make sense. Think about it. The first person you met after becoming an immortal was Sect Master Bai Hongtu. How would you feel?”
“I want to resume my cultivation.”
“Then change it to Confucianism?” “
The Confucian sages aren’t in Confucianism, so what’s the point of ending there?”
“Buddhism?”
“The Buddha has gone to the underworld.”
“What about the Human Emperor Palace?”
“There’s no Human Emperor in the Human Emperor Palace. I heard that Jiang Renhuang visits less than once a year.”
Jiang Li pretended not to hear.
“But isn’t it normal for the Human Emperor Palace to not have a Human Emperor? Do ants climbing a tree have ants?”
“You make sense.”
The three Lords discussed it and decided to set the Immortal Ladder’s end at the Human Emperor Palace.
With the decline of the Way of Heaven and the rise of humanity, the Human Emperor Palace, with its own earth veins, Commander Liu within, and Jiang Li outside, represents humanity, a position of immense significance. Since
the Lord of Entropy Increase wished to proceed to the Human Emperor Palace, Jiang Li had no reason to stop him.
Jiang Li used his words to direct his actions: “The Heavenly Ladder will terminate at the Human Emperor Palace.”
The nearby Brahma Tower and the Lord of Saṃsāra watched as the Immortal Ladder in Jiang Li’s hand glowed golden, one end protruding into the ground, the other extending to the Human Emperor Palace five hundred meters away.
The Myriad Realms Shuttle Center was located adjacent to the Human Emperor Palace.
…
“So this is why you used the Immortal Ladder to reach me from the Myriad Realms Shuttle Center next door?”
Commander Liu looked at the four people before him, bewildered by the current youth’s thoughts.
“Anyway, congratulations to the Lord of Entropy Increase on his immortality,” Commander Liu stood up and congratulated him.
After the baptism of the Immortal Ladder, the Lord of Entropy Increase officially became an immortal.
After the three Lords departed, Jiang Li handed the Immortal Ladder to Commander Liu.
“This is…”
“My whereabouts are erratic, making it difficult for anyone to use the Immortal Ladder. Commander Liu, you need immortal energy to use your immortal arts and cultivate. After careful consideration, I think it’s most appropriate to place this Ladder with you.”
“The Ladder requires a starting point and an end point. Where would you like to set them, Commander Liu?”
“The starting point is at the entrance to the Human Emperor Palace, and the end point is in the main hall. I usually only walk that far,” Commander Liu said.
Soon, the guards guarding the entrance to the Human Emperor Palace saw a Ladder erected nearby, leading to the center of the Palace.
Was this the entrance to the Palace, or the Southern Gate of Heaven, the celestial realm?
Commander Liu was deeply moved. Jiang Li trusted him so much that he felt embarrassed to suggest that Jiang Li return to the Palace.
“When will the Palace Master plan to take charge of the Palace?”
So Commander Liu stopped being secretive and came out in the open.
Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said, “After the recent series of events, I feel it’s time for me to fulfill my duties as the Human Emperor and take my place in the Human Emperor Palace.”
Commander Liu was surprised. What kind of auspicious occasion was today?
Oh, the Immortal Realm was gone today.
“I’ve decided to take my place in the Human Emperor Palace for a whole day!” Jiang Li declared forcefully. He had made a firm resolve to change his appearance, to become a new person, to dispel the misconception that he wasn’t in charge of the Palace.
Commander Liu gasped. The Palace Master was actually going to take his place for a whole day!
Wait, a whole day?
How was that different from not taking his place at all?
Regardless, Jiang Li’s willingness to take his place was a good thing, and it shouldn’t be a setback for the Palace Master.
“Before that, I’ll get some sleep,” Jiang Li said, walking into the bedroom, leaving Commander Liu bewildered.
“Why does the Palace Master like to sleep as much as Kong Hu?”
Although Jiang Li had been away from the Palace for years, he was still a Human Emperor, so he still had a bedroom, and it was dust-free.
Jiang Li pulled out a pink pillow, changed into his pajamas, and drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Jiang Li wasn’t just sleeping; he was trying to connect with the First Emperor and the Idle Man through dreams.
He had learned the truth about the world from the Divine Treasure Venerable: every parallel world was
plagued by a black tide. The First Emperor and the Idle Man didn’t yet understand the need for order to combat the black tide. Jiang Li wanted to remind them to be safe and prepare as soon as possible.
Emperor Shun said the black tide would arrive in ten years, but he didn’t specify when the black tide from the parallel world would arrive. If it arrived later than Jiang Li’s, that would be fine—Jiang Li could go to the Possibility Convergence Point and resolve the issue. But if it arrived earlier, the other parallel worlds would be doomed, and no one would survive.
Jiang Li asked the Confucian Sage and the Buddha how to connect to parallel worlds, and they both gave the same answer: dreaming.
Seeing Jiang Li’s sullen expression, the Confucian Sage and the Buddha quickly explained that the Dream Path could connect parallel worlds, but it required cultivation to be at least on par with the Heavenly Path.
The requirements were stringent, and only Venerable Shenzang could connect to other Heavenly Paths.
Now there was another Jiang Li.
However, the Confucian Sage and the Buddha didn’t know the specifics of how to use the Dream Path to connect parallel worlds; only Venerable Shenzang knew.
Jiang Li had no other options but to try his luck and see if he could run into the First Emperor and the Idle Man.
If the First Emperor and the Idle Man were also dreaming, their dreams would merge, allowing them to connect.
Jiang Li slept for a while, but he didn’t see the First Emperor and the Idle Man.
“The First Emperor is still cultivating, so it’s understandable that he doesn’t sleep. But what about the idler? He’s not playing tricks with all kinds of beauties in his dreams anymore?”
Jiang Li couldn’t figure it out, thinking that perhaps the idler had improved.
“The Buddha also said that there are more than three parallel worlds. Perhaps I can wait for others?”
Jiang Li slept for several hours, but still no results.
“No one? That shouldn’t be the case. Where did I go in the parallel world? Didn’t I sleep?”
Jiang Li no longer waited. He stretched, got up, changed his clothes, and took the seat that belonged to Commander Liu.
