Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 727

Chapter 725 Spiritual Eyes

Jiang Li had never encountered the world of the First Emperor; it was called the Orange Heart World.

“Go to the Orange Heart World,” Jiang Li said, and a circle of light appeared before him. On the other side of the circle lay a world completely different from Jiuzhou.

This was the destination of their journey.

The Orange Heart World was a technological world, still at the stage of exploring nuclear energy. Among the worlds Jiang Li had seen, it wasn’t particularly outstanding.

“Hmm? The spiritual energy concentration seems to be changing?” Jiang Li keenly noticed the increasing spiritual energy concentration.

The increase was so slow that it was imperceptible to ordinary people, but if it continued at this rate over the years, the concentration would be considerable. Spiritual

energy was gradually improving the lives of the people in this world. Even if they didn’t practice, it could nourish their bodies.

Due to overwork, the people of this world were in a sub-healthy state, suffering from various ailments, most notably cervical spine problems, dark circles under the eyes, and a lack of energy.

The increase in spiritual energy was gradually lifting the people of this world from sub-health to health.

Jiang Li pondered, “It seems this world didn’t have spiritual energy before, otherwise it wouldn’t be improving people’s health until now.”

He released his spiritual sense and discovered the reason for the abnormal spiritual energy concentration.

A hundred miles away, east and west, stood two spiritual energy eyes, from which spiritual energy gushed out, spreading throughout the world.

These were unsealed spiritual energy eyes, while many more remained sealed. It seemed they could be unsealed at any moment, bringing a new surge of spiritual energy to this world.

“The First Emperor’s work? No, I couldn’t create such a sophisticated seal, and neither could the First Emperor.”

Jiang Li suspected this was a conspiracy by the immortal realm.

“There are cultivators in this world, too?”

Jiang Li arrived at an unsealed spiritual energy eye, which led to a dilapidated courtyard. The owner, a young man, looked on bewilderedly at the two uninvited guests.

There, two groups of cultivators were arguing, their swords drawn, and the threat of a fight looming.

“We, the Cultivator Administration, have official documents and, according to regulations, full authority over this place. Why don’t you leave immediately?” A team of men in sharp uniforms produced a stamped document, certifying their procedures as legal and sound, and demanded the other party leave.

They were no pushovers either. The Spiritual Energy Eye was right here. Once unsealed, it would be a constant influx of spiritual energy, more than enough for their sect to reach a new level of strength.

Who would be able to control them then?

“Cultivator Administration? What the hell! Our Xiaoyao Xianzong has a history of nearly a thousand years, with a Spiritual Transformation Stage patriarch at its helm. How dare you, a mere newly formed organization, dare to control us?”

The Xiaoyao Xianzong members sneered. In this era when spiritual energy had yet to fully recover, the Spiritual Transformation Stage was the pinnacle of cultivation, and they feared no one.

When spiritual energy fully recovered, their ancestors would soar and ascend to the Fusion Stage, truly unrivaled.

The Cultivator Administration members slowly drew their standard weapons, while the Xiaoyao Xianzong members similarly drew their glowing spiritual treasures. With hostility against each other, neither dared to initiate a move.

Although this was a sparsely populated suburban area, an attack by these late-stage Qi training cultivators would still likely result in civilian casualties, a consequence none of them could bear.

Despite their arrogant words, the Xiaoyao Xianzong members were exceptionally cautious.

“Brother Tang Yi, are you willing to sell this courtyard to us? We guarantee a satisfactory price, and we’ll also allow you to attend the preparatory training class.” The Cultivator Management Bureau turned their attention to the courtyard’s owner, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen.

Since a fight couldn’t break out, the courtyard’s owner would decide who owned the Spiritual Qi Eye.

The Xiaoyao Xianzong members were less accommodating, threatening: “The Spiritual Qi Eye is a battleground. If you don’t call for the courtyard, there will be endless trouble. When that happens, it won’t be us Qi training cultivators who will come after you!”

The Xiaoyao Xianzong members’ expressions were fierce, frightening Tang Yi.

So there really were Cultivator Management Bureaus and immortal cultivation sects. Tang Yi suddenly remembered a trending term circulating online lately: Spiritual Qi resurgence.

A sudden surge of incredibly realistic special effects videos appeared online, such as one in which a person’s body suddenly burst into flames, their clothes consuming them, yet the person remained unharmed; two figures chased each other through the darkness, exchanging lightsabers; and one leaped several meters high, easily breaking a world record…

A remarkably convincing rumor was also circulating online, a common sight.

It claimed that their world was originally a world of cultivation, and that the ancient texts recording ancient people’s ability to fly and evade the earth were not exaggerated; they were real. Later, the spiritual energy gradually withered, and those great cultivators who could evade the earth and evade the heavens retreated into seclusion, extending their lifespans and awaiting the return of the spiritual energy.

Along with these rumors, a mysterious organization recurred: the Cultivator Administration. It was said that the state had anticipated this event and established it in advance to manage the various cultivators that emerged with the spiritual energy’s resurgence.

Tang Yi also heard about a “preparatory class for cultivation.” He remembered a strange test at school, after which several students disappeared, claiming to be attending other schools. Now, it seemed likely that this was the preparatory class.

Tang Yi took the test but was not selected.

“Stop, don’t talk!” the Cultivator Administration suddenly shouted, hushing.

The Xiaoyao Immortal Sect members also sensed something was amiss. The ground beneath their feet was actually shaking slightly.

“This is… the Spiritual Eye is about to be unsealed ahead of schedule! How is this possible? It’s a full year earlier than expected!” the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect members shouted.

Bang!

A surge of spiritual energy crashed into the Spiritual Eye’s seal, overwhelmed, unable to withstand the pressure, and it erupted with a bang.

Spiritual energy is invisible and intangible, yet the aura gushing out before them was a visible blue.

It could be called a spiritual spring. It

was unknown how much spiritual energy had accumulated underground, but it suddenly erupted with terrifying force, rapidly increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within a hundred miles. Some, under these concentrations, unexpectedly mastered the most rudimentary cultivation methods without any guidance!

The Cultivator Administration and Xiaoyao Immortal Sect members, who were closest to the scene, were thrown far away. Only cultivators could be thrown overboard.

In the process, they, too, were washed away by the spiritual energy, instantly advancing to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!

“Such pure spiritual energy… something’s wrong. Even the most powerful spiritual eye in recorded history doesn’t have this kind of power!” The Cultivator Administration Bureau noticed something was wrong.

But the current situation didn’t allow them to dwell on it. Facing this wave of spiritual energy, they were like a small boat, unable to even control their direction. They kept tumbling, unable to stop.

Tumbling with them was Tang Yi.

“You’re a cultivator too!” The Cultivator Administration Bureau glared. Mortals wouldn’t be swept away by spiritual eyes.

“Haha, don’t be so angry.” A gentle voice sounded in their ears, and an invisible force slowed them down, and eventually they stopped.
