Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 749

Chapter 747: One person’s success brings prosperity to the whole family

“And then there’s the Jiang family. They seized what originally belonged to the Human Emperor, suppressing his growth and cultivating Jiang Yixing.”

“As a result, without external aid, the Human Emperor quickly surpassed Jiang Yixing, the Jiang family’s most cherished figure, and even defeated him at the family meeting.”

“The Jiang family has been humiliated. If I were the head of the Jiang family, I’d regret it like crazy.”

“By the way, I remember someone in Wolong City, in the Great Yong Dynasty, who was connected to the Human Emperor…” The person who spoke was new to Wolong City and unfamiliar with the area.

“Get out of the way, everyone! The Meng family is out, and anyone trampled to death by someone will be the one to blame. I will not be held responsible!”

The sound of horse hooves and whips echoed from afar, accompanied by a savage voice.

A young woman in bright red rode down the commercial street, sending those who saw her dodging to the side of the road, fearing the horse’s hooves would crush them.

The vendors gathered their goods as quickly as possible, but they were still a step behind, leaving many items damaged by the horses.

If there were a storage ring, the speed of putting things away would not be so slow. But in Jiuzhou, the price of a storage ring is not something that street vendors can afford.

The man who was talking just now did not react to what happened. After the people around him ran away, he was still standing there stupidly. His companions quickly pulled him aside. A girl on horseback passed by them.

Just as they were about to fall, a pair of big hands supported them.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Li asked.

The two were still in shock. The tall horse was not an ordinary horse, but a horse with demon blood. It was extremely powerful. If someone stepped on it, they would not be able to get out of bed for several months.

“It’s okay, thank you sir.”

“What is the origin of that girl? Why is she so arrogant?” Jiang Li had not seen such an arrogant person for a long time.

Riding a horse in the street, treating human life as a joke.

“This isn’t just once or twice. Everyone living in Wolong City is familiar with that girl. Her name is Meng Yue’er, the only daughter of the Meng family. She’s deeply loved by the Meng family’s great-grandmother, the envy of countless affections.”

“The Meng family?”

“Originally, the Meng family was a small clan, but they were lucky. A woman was rescued by Emperor Jiang while out training. To repay his life-saving grace, she became his handmaiden, now the Meng family’s great-grandmother.”

Jiang Li sneered, “Could it be that Emperor Jiang doesn’t have limbs, so he still needs a handmaiden?”

“That’s not true. Those great figures in the Spiritual Transformation and Fusion stages all have handmaidens? It’s about prestige.” The two people Jiang Li had saved disagreed with him. This was a common practice in Jiuzhou, so why should the Human Emperor be an exception?

The First Emperor snorted, “Incompetent! My name is my prestige, I don’t need anyone else to complement it.”

Jiang Li glanced at the First Emperor, half-smile, half-smile, a hint of sarcasm.

The First Emperor knew what Jiang Li meant. He was simply mocking him for using his harem to highlight himself, saying he

was no better than a bunch of idlers. What’s the big deal? I can change it!

“The Meng family has become connected to Emperor Jiang Ren.”

“Wolong City is practically the Meng family’s domain. No one dares to provoke them. Even the city lord has to look after them.”

“Meng Yue’er was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. She’s been arrogant and domineering since she was a child, riding her horse through the streets and whipping the people.”

“Wolong City used to have the Chen family, the Zhang family, and the Ma family. They all treated us mortals with disregard. Now, with the Meng family rising above these aristocratic families, life is getting increasingly difficult.”

The man sighed. Sometimes he really wanted to move out of Wolong City, or rather, out of Dayong. Dazhou and Tianyuan were both better than Dayong.

It was too far from here to Dazhou and Tianyuan; they couldn’t even afford the journey.

Jiuzhou lacked a spatial channel connecting all of the rest of the country.

“The Human Emperor Palace doesn’t care? The Great Yong court doesn’t care?”

“The White Emperor…”

“Wait, the White Emperor?”

“That’s the Acting Emperor Bai Hongtu. I’m used to calling him the White Emperor.”

Jiang Li had a strange expression on his face: “Go on.”

“The White Emperor does care about us mortals and low-level cultivators. He has implemented some policies, such as encouraging various sects to publish their skills, lowering the threshold for cultivation, and eradicating the cancer of aristocratic families. There are policies, but they can’t be implemented and are blocked everywhere.”

“After all, the White Emperor is only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Although he is very strong, he does not have overwhelming strength.”

“Even when the Nine Provinces Protective Array and the Spirit Plant Array were laid out ten years ago, all places refused to cooperate. They felt that with the Human Emperor Jiang here, there was no need to waste people’s money and resources to set up the array.”

“Fortunately, the Human Emperor Jiang, who had not spoken for a long time, supported the White Emperor, and only then was the Nine Provinces Protective Array and the Spirit Plant Array successfully laid out.”

“The White Emperor, empowered by the Spirit Plant Array, is radical in his power. This is why he has the say, allowing those policies to be implemented with some difficulty.”

This reminded Jiang Li of the Human Emperors who preceded him. They were the best candidates of their era, chosen by the earth veins. They inherited the will of the people. The Human Emperor’s duty was not only to protect Jiuzhou from invasion by extraterritorial demons, but also to ensure its development in a positive direction, giving commoners and low-level cultivators opportunities to rise.

The Human Emperor’s responsibility stemmed from the people’s aspirations.

Previous Human Emperors had attempted to change Jiuzhou, but faced significant resistance. The people wanted equality, which meant that the upper-class cultivators would be deprived of privilege. If this affected the interests of the upper class, no one would listen to the Human Emperors.

This was a constant source of worry for the Human Emperors. Only after Jiang Li ascended the throne did a significant change occur.

In Jiang Li’s eyes, there was no such thing as upper-class interests. The world was fair, energy was not conserved, and everyone would live happily.

This was the primary reason why the predecessors of the Human Emperors were extremely satisfied with Jiang Li.

“It’s not easy for Lao Bai to be the Human Emperor. I wonder how he feels about becoming the Human Emperor he’s always dreamed of.”

“If the upper echelons’ thinking hasn’t changed, there’s still a long way to go to fully implement the policies.” Jiang Li realized the problem. In a world where great power is concentrated in one person, changes in the thinking of the upper echelons are far more important than those of the lower echelons. He also practiced what he preached, and it took many years to change this mindset.

The First Emperor snorted coldly: “The Black Tide is coming. There’s no time for that.”

“Those people don’t know their mistakes until they see blood.”

The First Emperor enforced the law, and all the resistance was eliminated by him with iron-blooded means.

The First Emperor took a step to the place where the woman in red had to pass.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way if you don’t want to die!” The woman in red waved her whip, making a snapping sound, intimidating the First Emperor.

She liked this unrestrained process, and liked people to see her panic.

She was born superior and had this privilege.

The First Emperor glared at the horse, with a sense of majesty without anger.

The horse seemed to have seen some terrifying existence, and it exerted force with its hind legs, lifted its front legs into the air, and fell to the ground.

The horse would rather fall than dare to offend the First Emperor.

The woman in red was pressed to the ground by the horse. The First Emperor walked over and stepped on the face of the woman in red, but was indifferent to her crying.

“I don’t even ride a horse in the street, so what qualifications do you have to be more arrogant than me?”
