Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 721

Chapter 719 I, Jiang Li, Never Hold a Grudge

“You, how could you be here?” Ji Zhi trembled with fear. Seeing Jiang Li here was more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

The heavy rain brought a chill to Qingcheng, and now Ji Zhi felt a chill in his heart.

“I’ve always told you, what’s so difficult about the Dao of Time? Do you think I rely on brute force to move freely across the River of Time?”

Jiang Li patted Ji Zhi’s shoulder and soothed him, “Relax, we’re all classmates, nothing will happen to you.”

“My memory isn’t great. Look, it’s been twelve years since you told Bai Hongtu about me impersonating Dao Zong. I’ve almost forgotten it.”

“And you wrote on the first page of every book on the Dao of Time, ‘Brother Jiang, don’t read it, you can’t learn it.’ I’ve almost forgotten that, too.”

Ji Zhi trembled even more after hearing this. He was probably going to stain the River of Time with blood today.

Even the ancestral blessing was useless.

Jiang Li held up a light curtain, shielding the heavy rain from outside. He slowly took out a small notebook and crossed out Ji Zhi’s name.

Jiang Li put the notebook away, stretched, and swung his arms: “It’s time to settle our old and new grudges, Comrade Ji Zhi.”

Ji Zhi shuddered: “Didn’t you say you had a bad memory?”

Jiang Li grinned, revealing his eight teeth, and approached Ji Zhi: “Really? My memory is bad, I forgot what I said before.”

Ji Zhi retreated in fear: “Don’t mess around. This is the Great Zhou. It’s illegal to hit someone…”

“Can the Great Zhou still control the future?”

The screams of the man surnamed Ji were heard through the rain, but they were quickly drowned out by the pounding of the rain, as if no one had ever screamed.

The rain stopped, and Ji Zhi, covered in wounds, took the Great Rejuvenation Pill, his body healed. He chatted casually with Jiang Li.

“Calculating the time, I was probably still in the palace at this time, being forced to study by my father, who wanted me to get first place in the Great Zhou Imperial Academy.”

“I thought I could be first, but you suddenly appeared and took first place. Even until graduation, I never surpassed you.”

“Where are you now in this era?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, “I’m probably still looking for a sect willing to accept me.”

“With your talent, you’re not sure if there’s no sect that wants you… Oh, yes, you have five elements spiritual roots now. It’s a rare opportunity to come to this era, so let’s go see what you’re doing now.”

“Okay.”

The two quickly found the young Jiang Li. They flew into the air, concealing their presence. With Jiang Li around, no one in this era would notice them.

Young Jiang Li had just arrived on the Jiuzhou Continent and had learned a general knowledge from books, but it wasn’t enough. To gain a foothold in the unknown world, a deep knowledge base was essential.

He chose to join the Huayun Sect, the closest sect to Qingcheng.

Jiang Li considered that the Huayun Sect had been declining in recent years and needed fresh blood, which was perfect for him.

However, no matter how weak the Huayun Sect was, it wasn’t at the point where it needed a Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Young Jiang Li wasn’t discouraged. Since he couldn’t become a Huayun Sect disciple, he decided to find another path.

He settled down at the foot of the Huayun Sect mountain and inquired about the sect’s situation from nearby residents.

“It seems the Huayun Sect is having financial problems, struggling to generate revenue, and causing panic among the people.”

Understanding the problem, young Jiang Li began gathering intelligence with a focused focus, helping the Huayun Sect find ways to make money.

Twenty days later, the Huayun Sect’s leader descended the mountain and happened to encounter young Jiang Li, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Young Jiang Li’s methods caught the attention of the Huayun Sect’s leader.

The leader felt that despite Jiang Li’s youthful appearance, his speech and demeanor were more mature than those of his peers, suggesting he must have something special. Since the Huayun Sect’s situation couldn’t be any worse, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to let him try his luck.

Initially, the Huayun Sect’s members, seeing Jiang Li’s youth, were reluctant to obey his orders. The Great Elder’s lineage was particularly harsh. The Sect Master, however, overruled the opposition and placed the young Jiang Li in charge of the sect’s finances.

Young Jiang Li flourished there, establishing a relatively crude industrial chain. The Huayun Sect finally transformed from a stagnant state into a vibrant one, significantly reducing its financial pressures.

Everyone benefited, and they began to admire the young Jiang Li deeply. The Great Elder even lowered his airs and resolved their differences with the young Jiang Li.

Young Jiang Li never took the Great Elder’s concerns to heart. He had come to the Huayun Sect to cultivate, not to create a grudge. Since there had been no grudges, how could there be any need to resolve them?

The Great Elder, sensing the broad-mindedness of this young man, was destined for greatness, and his admiration grew even stronger.

“I have a grandson named Yunbo. He achieved fame at a young age and is unruly. I’ve warned him several times, but he won’t listen,” the Great Elder said, hoping the young Jiang Li would help.

“It’s not difficult.”

The young Jiang Li quickly devised a plan to fake the Great Elder’s death.

With Yun Bo’s powerful backer gone and his people no longer praising him, Yun Bo, having experienced the trials and tribulations of life, repented and devoted himself to cultivation.

With this over, everyone in the Huayun Sect revered the young Jiang Li.

Young Jiang Li settled down in the Huayun Sect with peace of mind. Here, he witnessed firsthand what it was like to be an immortal cultivator, fulfilling all his fantasies.

He was itching to write something down.

He pulled out a notebook and scrawled his fantasy:

“…The young man endured countless hardships, ultimately becoming the Supreme of Jiuzhou…”

“…The young man embraced his beloved woman and became an enemy of Jiuzhou. A Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator shouted, “How could the young man, no matter how strong he was, dare to oppose Jiuzhou? He should quickly hand over the demon woman.”

The young man slowly stood up and spoke in a cold voice, “How dare you, insects, offend the heavens and become my enemies?”

“It is your honor to let me grant you death.”

From above, Jiang Li covered his face, wishing he could strangle his past self.

Suddenly, Jiang Li thought of Ji Zhi who was beside him. Although the fantasy story was written in the language of his past life and no one could understand it except him, what if Ji Zhi could decipher it…

“Emperor Shun, come down and pick him up.”

Jiang Li quickly asked Emperor Shun to take Ji Zhi away.

Ji Zhi was brought to the long river of time by Emperor Shun, and he didn’t understand what was going on.

“Don’t look at things you shouldn’t look at, or you’ll be silenced.” Emperor Shun warned Ji Zhi and sent Ji Zhi back to the original time node.

The young Jiang Li began to listen to the elders of the sect explaining the knowledge of cultivation, thinking about how to go in the future.

The elders of the sect felt that Jiang Li was extraordinary and could not waste his life in the Huayun Sect, so they suggested that he go to the Great Zhou Royal Academy for further studies.

Seeing this, Jiang Li stopped reading. The rest of the story was about going out and encountering danger, burning his spiritual roots, awakening his spiritual roots, being admitted to the Great Zhou Royal Academy, meeting the fourth prince Ji Zhi, and officially starting his path of cultivation.

“Let’s see what Bai Hongtu, Yu Yin and the others are doing.” Jiang Li smiled with interest.
