Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 755

Chapter 753 The Second Mahayana Stage

After some banter, Bai Hongtu came to know the personalities of the two Jiang Lis.

One was eccentric, similar to himself before becoming Acting Emperor.

The other was incredibly domineering, evidently having killed many.

“I can’t believe that in your world, you, Yu Yin, and I are all close friends.”

In the idle world, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin could be considered friends, but far from close.

This was due to their relationship; who would want to see their Taoist partner chatting and laughing with another man?

“That’s wonderful! Your Nine Provinces are so different from ours.” Bai Hongtu envied Jiang Li’s world.

“It’s not easy for you either. I didn’t expect being Human Emperor to be so difficult for you.”

“The Bai Hongtu I know always clamors to be Human Emperor. I wonder how he’d feel if he were to find himself in your situation?”

Bai Hongtu smiled wryly. “Probably regrets. He’s willing but powerless, needing strength everywhere, yet unable to exert it anywhere.”

Jiang Li noticed that Bai Hongtu hadn’t yet attained immortality, only being in the Tribulation Crossing stage.

The only two immortals in Jiuzhou are Immortal Eternal and Buddha Xumi. This suggests that Xianren hasn’t publicly disclosed his method for acquiring the power of merit.

Jiang Li speculated that Xianren might share his concerns, refusing to share this method for fear of another Buddha Xumi emerging.

“This Jiuzhou has no connection with the myriad worlds?” Jiang Li had long since discovered that in the Chudi world, Jiuzhou boasted numerous technological advancements.

But Xianren’s world showed no such connections.

This suggests that Jiuzhou hasn’t yet established connections with other worlds.

Bai Hongtu shook his head in confusion, unsure of what Jiang Li meant. Establish connections? How could he establish connections when he didn’t even know the locations of other worlds?

“Except for the Eight Desolations world, I haven’t seen any other worlds. Xianren, on the other hand, has made strange progress since a long time ago, and I can’t quite pinpoint the reason.”

“For example, in the Jindan stage, his martial arts cultivation was incredibly refined, surpassing even those of the Wu Dynasty.”

Jiang Li knew this was the Huanyu world of the Bu Jing and Bu Dong brothers.

“In the Yuanying stage, he mastered many demonic skills.”

This was the Lingxi world, where beast taming was paramount.

“During his Spiritual Transformation stage, he mastered the use of soul power and the power of faith.”

This is the Ella world, where gods and demons coexist.

“I’ve recently discovered his harem possessing technological gadgets like cell phones and computers.”

This is the Qinxin world, the aftermath of the collision of two worlds. Jiang Li remembered that the system’s mission in the Qinxin world was to sell Qinxin’s tech products to Jiuzhou.

“I can actually guess that he probably possesses a treasure similar to the Brahma Tower, allowing him to travel to other worlds, gaining rewards there and improving himself.”

“It’s just that he won’t tell me, and I don’t want to ask. Everyone has secrets.”

“And honestly, even allowing Jiuzhou to communicate with other worlds right now would be difficult. It’s not a technical issue, but rather that there’s dissent within Jiuzhou right now. Many people disagree with the Human Emperor Palace’s approach to the Eight Desolations. If Jiuzhou were to travel to other worlds, who knows what kind of chaos it would cause.”

Bai Hongtu’s concerns were not unfounded. The people of Jiuzhou dared to engage in demonic practices under the Human Emperor Palace’s nose. If they ever did reach other worlds, they would become demon lords, the masterminds who wreaked havoc on their region.

Moreover, Jiuzhou only has one Earthly Immortal and several Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators. Compared to other individual worlds, it’s overwhelming, but once several worlds unite, Jiuzhou will struggle to seize the initiative.

“Ultimately, it’s because I was too weak to become an Immortal,” Bai Hongtu sighed. Having ideals and aspirations is fine, but achieving them requires sufficient power.

Take the three Jiang Lis, for example. Their personalities differ greatly, causing changes in the entire world. This is due to the power they possess.

If they were just ordinary people, what personalities would they have, and what would their relevance to the world be?

“Becoming an Immortal is difficult, but reaching the Mahayana stage isn’t difficult,” Jiang Li smiled.

“Is there really a way to achieve Mahayana?!” Bai Hongtu stood up with a chuckle, his face filled with disbelief. He stared at Jiang Li intently, afraid he’d say he was joking.

Reaching the Mahayana stage would solve many problems and significantly alleviate the pressure that had been building up within him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything to you.”

Jiang Li explained the nine major rules.

“In other words, the most deadly rule right now is the rule of destruction, manifesting itself as an all-consuming black tide. To resist the black tide, we need to establish order.”

“I need to establish order not only in Jiuzhou, but also across all the heavens and myriad realms?” Bai Hongtu was shocked. This was a heavy burden.

“Don’t worry, you’re not alone. There’s a Hunyuan Wuji Immortal in the Underworld helping you. As for whether there will be one or two people in the Immortal Realm helping you, that’s uncertain.”

“Don’t feel pressured. The Bai Hongtu I know is fully capable of this, and I believe you are too.” Jiang Li didn’t try to comfort Bai Hongtu; he truly meant it.

The First Emperor could attest to this; Bai Hongtu’s ability was unquestionable.

“Okay, I’ll do it!” Bai Hongtu nodded fiercely. He knew that establishing order would mean the death of many, and that some would call him a butcher.

The moment he nodded, he was ready to take on any responsibility.

“I can wield the sword and kill.”

The First Emperor wasn’t killing to help Bai Hongtu, but because he was displeased with the actions of the Jiuzhou cultivators, which infuriated him.

In his world, he had killed many people to establish order, and the First Emperor didn’t mind killing them again.

Bai Hongtu shook his head: “I thank your Majesty for your kindness. This is my world after all. I can kill people without dirtying your Majesty’s hands.”

Bai Hongtu spoke to the First Emperor in a very different way than he did to Jiang Lishi.

“Did Xianren tell you the method to achieve the Mahayana stage?”

Bai Hongtu looked peculiar. “I’ve told you this many times, but no one understands. He keeps emphasizing the non-conservation of energy and the use of infinite energy to impact realms.”

Jiang Li: “…”

It was clear that Xianren was trying very hard to improve his friends and family, but to no avail.

Bai Hongtu felt Xianren wasn’t lying, but he genuinely didn’t understand.

“Ahem, Xianren is right, but that’s only the superficial method for breaking through to the Mahayana stage. Actually…”

Jiang Li explained the true method for breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

Bai Hongtu’s expression grew even more baffled.

“Believing in the non-conservation of energy means you can actually achieve it? How on earth did you three, Jiang Li, come up with this method?”

Jiang Li was speechless.

“But I believe you.” Bai Hongtu’s eyes were clear, and he chose to believe Jiang Li’s statement.

He was trying to overturn his previous understanding and believe that energy was not conserved.

“Power of faith, come!”

Bai Hongtu raised his hand, and the power of faith within the earth veins blessed him, the Acting Emperor.

He stepped down from the Human Emperor’s chair and, with heavy steps, slowly walked out of the hall.

A tremendous pressure, centered at the Human Emperor Palace, spread across the entire Kyushu Continent, felt by all, from mortals to immortals.

This aura was gentle and pleasant, like a spring breeze, instilling hope, as if the future would be better, something worth looking forward to.

Those with dark and sordid hearts trembled with anxiety, unable to articulate the cause, as if a catastrophe was imminent, a price to pay for their sins.

Bai Hongtu, his gaze fixed straight ahead, walked out of the hall and the corridor, as if carrying the future of all beings on his shoulders, an immeasurable weight that made each step an immense struggle.

The guards of the Human Emperor Palace noticed something was wrong with the Palace Master, but they dared not approach. They were filled with awe at Bai Hongtu’s current state.

With each step, Bai Hongtu’s aura rose steadily, ultimately surpassing even mortals, reaching a new realm.

His body gradually floated upward, hovering above the Human Emperor Palace.

Bai Hongtu savored this power he had once longed for, bowed to Jiang Li and Chu Di below, and said solemnly, “Thank you both for your teachings. From today on, I will be the second Mahayana stage.”

He became a Mahayana stage cultivator.
