Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 711
Chapter 709: There are still differences in strength among the Mahayana stage
. The power of sentient beings is immeasurable, requiring a specially crafted vessel.
To this end, Jiang Li specially gathered rare treasures from across Jiuzhou and had Dao Zong’s Refining Peak forge it.
A bronze cauldron stood in the center of the Human Emperor Hall. The azure water formed by the power of will within the cauldron resembled the essence of the earth’s veins.
This was the purest form of willpower, three hundred years old and unused.
Now, Jiang Li intended to give it to his two friends.
In the past decade or so, Jiuzhou has established diplomatic relations with other worlds, leading to frequent exchanges and further strengthening the earth’s veins.
Jiang Li visited the earth’s veins directly beneath the Human Emperor Hall. Today, the veins are several times stronger than when he succeeded to the throne.
“I never thought I’d get to use my willpower,” Bai Hongtu said, rubbing his hands excitedly as he gazed at the overflowing cauldron of willpower.
Yu Yin, faced with the power of willpower, smiled a rare smile.
Being able to use it meant that they both met the requirements to become Human Emperors. Without Jiang Li, the 72nd Human Emperor would have chosen from among them.
Even though he might not become the Human Emperor, he was content to have the power of will acknowledge him.
“What will become of the next Human Emperor after we use it?” Bai Hongtu hadn’t forgotten the bronze cauldron’s original purpose.
Jiang Li rolled his eyes. “This is a three-hundred-year supply. If you use it all, I’ll go to the underworld to replace Hou Tu Niangniang as the ruler of that place, leaving you the Human Emperor.”
Yu Yin added, “I’ve heard the Old Emperor say that the power of will can only temporarily elevate the body to the level of an Earthly Immortal. No matter how much of it is used, it’s useless.”
“The power of will is of great importance, not quantity.”
Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, their hands flying, forming the Human Emperor Seal.
Jiang Li released his control of the power of will, and the calm water of will within the cauldron was stirred, rippling.
“Rise.” Bai Hongtu, palms facing outward, raised his hands to the sky.
The power of will transformed into mist and drifted towards the two, expanding from their flesh and blood to their spirit platforms.
The power of their physical bodies gradually climbed, eventually breaking through the threshold, transcending the limits of mortals, becoming Earthly Immortals and entering the realm of the immortals.
Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin entered a mysterious state. Their bodies were as light as a feather, their six senses no longer bound to the flesh, but transformed into symbols, radiating outward, spreading across the Nine Provinces and into other worlds.
They seemed to merge with the earth’s veins; wherever the veins were, they were there.
A cacophony of voices echoed in their ears, and upon closer listening, one could discern their various voices.
Some prayed for the Human Emperor’s blessing, some diligently cultivated, some wished for the safety of their mother and daughter, and some hoped for successful research… These were the hopes of all living beings.
Seeing his two friends, seemingly weightless, their expressions alternately satisfied and painful, Jiang Li could roughly guess at their current state.
He had just inherited the Human Emperor’s throne, and it had been like this when he had tapped into the power of all living beings. Their hopes echoed in his ears, and he wished to fulfill their every wish, yet he also resented his own inability to respond.
The process of hearing the voices of all living beings lasted only a short while, and soon returned to normal.
As expected, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin’s expressions relaxed, truly beginning to adapt to the will of all beings.
They both opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes clear as a stream.
Their eyes were like a mirror. When you met theirs, you saw not Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin, but yourself.
“The Mahayana stage, broken through.”
Bai Hongtu spoke lightly, and the winds at Ji Lei Mountain surged, clouds surging and a howling gale.
A nameless pressure emanated from Ji Lei Mountain and spread across the entire Kyushu continent, sensing its presence from mortals to immortals alike.
“Is someone about to attain immortality?” Sword Lord was stunned.
The old Dragon King abruptly rose to his feet. Three hundred years ago, he had been awakened by this very aura while slumbering in the East China Sea.
Lowering his voice, the old Dragon King confirmed his answer from the shocked looks of the crowd.
“No, this should be… the Mahayana stage.”
Immortal Changcun nodded. “This is the same feeling as when Jiang Li broke through to the Mahayana stage.”
Everyone, except Sword Lord, had experienced this scene three hundred years ago.
The feeling was like someone attaining immortality, but even more marvelous and indescribable.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Everyone could no longer sit still and got up and rushed to Jilei Mountain.
At the foot of Jilei Mountain, they met the Confucian Sage and the three masters.
None of the four knew what had happened, they just came here based on their feelings.
Commander Liu looked up and saw Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, their five hearts facing the sky, and spiritual energy kept rolling from the inside out.
“Friend Bai and Friend Yu are going to overcome the tribulation of becoming immortals?” The Lord of Entropy was puzzled.
The Confucian Sage also cast a puzzled look. It seemed that Immortal Changcun and others knew about it.
Li Er shook his head and explained: “The two of them are going to become Mahayana, and they don’t need to overcome the tribulation to become Mahayana.”
It is a realm that does not exist in the first place, so why do they need to overcome the tribulation to prove whether they are qualified to become Mahayana?
The pupils of the three masters shrank slightly, and they quickly used magic to imprint this scene.
The Confucian Sage was also uneasy. Is this actually going to break through to the Mahayana?
Li Er paused in thought. “I still remember when Jiang Renhuang reached the Mahayana stage, the Immortal Elder said this phenomenon was exactly as recorded in the classics. Jiang Renhuang had reached the Mahayana stage, just like the Netherfire Immortal Lord and the War Immortal.”
Three hundred years ago, no one had ever seen such a scene and asked what exactly was going on. Immortal Elder Changcun stroked his beard and quoted from the classics, explaining that the Mahayana stage is also called the Golden Immortal stage, and it is a precursor to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qi
Returning to the Origin. He also said that the Mahayana stage is rare, so rare that the heavens are reluctant to send down calamities, and therefore, achieving the Mahayana stage does not require transcending tribulations…
The Immortal Elder spoke extensively, perfectly explaining the unusual phenomenon when Jiang Li reached the Mahayana stage. Everyone was convinced and praised Immortal Elder Changcun for his erudition.
After Jiang Li reached the Mahayana stage, he learned that Changcun Immortal Venerable had anticipated this, and his admiration for him deepened. He even visited Fengji Cave to seek advice from Changcun Immortal Venerable. Changcun Immortal Venerable encouraged Jiang Li, urging him to continue his efforts and strive to quickly reach Mahayana Great Perfection.
Jiang Li then diligently cultivated to the point of transcending the Heavenly Dao.
“Hahaha, I, Bai Hongtu, have finally reached the Mahayana stage!” Bai Hongtu’s laughter echoed from the mountainside down, a smug grin spreading.
He and Jiang Li were both Mahayana, so who could be weaker?
“Jiang Li, fight!”
Jiang Li accepted Bai Hongtu’s request and punched him in the eye.
Bai Hongtu fell to the ground with a thud.
Jiang Li said calmly, “I’ve just reached the Mahayana stage, which is equivalent to the early stage of Earthly Immortal.”
Sound travels much slower than light, so while everyone saw Bai Hongtu being hit by Jiang Li’s punch, they heard him laugh and declare that he had finally reached the Mahayana stage.
There are still differences in strength among Mahayana cultivators.
Yu Yin was very self-aware. She knew this was just the beginning, and she still had a long way to go before she was qualified to fight Jiang Li.
Jiang Li dragged Bai Hongtu’s legs and walked leisurely down the mountain. Bai Hongtu landed face-first on the ground, his head bouncing back and forth. Yu Yin followed behind, acting as if she didn’t recognize Bai Hongtu.
The scene was harmonious, and no one was injured.
Commander Liu: “…”
He felt as if he had seen this scene often since he was a candidate for the Human Emperor.
