Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 757

Chapter 755 Don’t bother with him

In the Jinque Cloud Palace of Qingwei Heaven, the immortals gathered, bustling with activity, each displaying their own magical skills as they prepared to celebrate the triumphant return of the Venerable Shenzang. A peaceful atmosphere reigned.

“Supreme Envoy Duye, oh no, Immortal Lord Duye, I was blind to the true power of the mountain. I spoke carelessly before and offended you.”

Supreme Envoy Honghu kowtowed, threatening to continue until Immortal Lord Duye forgave him.

Immortal Lord Duye sat on the imperial chair, resting his arm lazily. He raised his eyelids, and upon seeing that it was his old rival, Supreme Envoy Honghu, he waved his hand. “It’s Honghu, rise. I’m not so petty. Let bygones be bygones.”

“Come, offer me a seat.”

“I dare not, I dare not,” Supreme Envoy Honghu hurriedly thanked Immortal Lord Duye for letting bygones be bygones.

A Golden Immortal addressed him as “Immortal Lord.” Supreme Envoy Duye had long since attained Golden Immortal status, though he had previously concealed his incompetence.

Now favored by Venerable Shenzang, he’s ascended to prominence, rising from the most junior Golden Immortal to Acting Immortal Emperor.

“If Immortal Emperor Jiang Li hadn’t followed you to other worlds, and if the original ancestor hadn’t gone on an expedition to the underworld, securing a bright future for us, I wouldn’t have had the chance to become Acting Immortal Emperor. It’s your favor,” said Immortal Lord Duye modestly. He never overstated his words, so he could leave himself a way out.

Duye thought back to the events of a year ago, and he was filled with fear.

He nearly died.

Venerable Shenzang had indeed obtained the powerful weapon of Idle Man Jiang Li, but his ability to thrive meant that he had concealed the Nine Provinces incident, causing Venerable Shenzang to lose control of the universe.

Venerable Shenzang possessed a strong desire for control, and he disliked such a situation.

Fortunately, Immortal Lord Duye, constantly monitoring the Observer civilization, knew of the existence of the Black Tide. He had also deduced the concept of parallel worlds from the teachings of the Buddha.

He boldly hypothesized that Venerable Shenzang could use Idle Man Jiang Li to travel to other worlds and strengthen his power.

Immortal Lord Duye didn’t know if such a thing was even possible, but this was his only chance for survival, and he had to seize it at all costs.

Fortunately, his gamble paid off, and Venerable Shenzang reaped a huge benefit.

From then on, Immortal Lord Duye rose rapidly, becoming the foremost Golden Immortal.

His cultivation was at the bottom of the Golden Immortal realm, but his power was unmatched.

With the Buddha and the Confucian Sage still battling in Daluo Heaven, the Primordial Ancestor having journeyed to the underworld, and Immortal Emperor Jiang Li having departed for a parallel world, this immortal realm was his own. It was only natural for him to become Acting Immortal Emperor, forcing even his superior, Immortal Lord Netherfire, to bow down to him.

Venerable Shenzang had also promised him that once the new world was established, the demon race would be equal to the human race, and he would be the Demon Emperor.

His future looked bright.

“Immortal Lord Duye, I have something I don’t understand. I’ve taken over your world, so why did you insist on not touching Jiuzhou yet?” asked the Honghu Envoy.

Immortal Lord Duye shook his head. “Jiuzhou is a source of worry for me. The first place I want to destroy is Jiuzhou. But Jiuzhou is also the place where Emperor Jiang ascended. When Your Excellency proposed destroying Jiuzhou and severing his ties to the mortal world, Jiang Xiandi’s eyes turned red. Worried that Jiang Xiandi might lose control, Your Excellency promised to destroy Jiuzhou last.”

“So that’s how it is. Thank you, Immortal Lord Duye, for clarifying my doubts.” The Honghu envoy withdrew.

A passage to a parallel world appeared, and a majestic and sacred aura emanated from the other side.

“We greet Your Excellency, greet the Immortal Emperor.” The immortals interrupted their magic, and Immortal Lord Duye stepped down from his throne, kowtowed to Venerable Shenzang and the idler Jiang Li.

The immortals shouted “eternity,” the scene was magnificent and heart-stirring.

The envoy Duye marveled inwardly. Ever since Your Excellency absorbed the first power of the Heavenly Dao, his aura had become increasingly ethereal and unfathomable, capable of cleansing the soul, as if transcending everything.

Venerable Shenzang had reached a height beyond his comprehension, a height without theoretical reference or precedent, a height of sheer power.

Only this kind of power could repeatedly defeat the Heavenly Daos of other worlds.

The immortals were filled with pride, their Heavenly Dao being supreme.

Venerable Shenzang, accompanied by the idler Jiang Li, slowly returned to their original world. He gazed at the celebration banquet being prepared and nodded slightly.

This Du Ye was more capable than the previous Immortal Emperor.

“Thirty percent of the Heavenly Dao has been destroyed by my hands. I now have three times the power.”

“Congratulations, Your Excellency!” the immortals bowed again.

Venerable Shenzang sat firmly on the throne and offered the idler a second seat: “The banquet begins.”

Inside the Jinque Cloud Palace, toasts flowed and joy filled the air. If one overlooked the fact that these immortals held the karma of hundreds of worlds and were the greatest executioners, then the feast at the Jinque Cloud Palace would have been a perfect match for the immortal realm depicted in any mortal legend: harmonious relationships, unfettered freedom, unfettered freedom, no power struggles, transcending the Three Realms and not the Five Elements.

A celestial being knelt on the ground and reported to Venerable Shenzang: “Your Excellency, Immortal Duye is worried that Jiuzhou may become a variable, and has been asking me to use my clairvoyance and clairaudience to monitor the situation in the Jiuzhou world. Just now, for some unknown reason, Jiuzhou’s representative, Emperor Bai Hongtu, has risen in power, reaching a new realm, resounding throughout Jiuzhou. It’s estimated that he’s on par with an Earthly Immortal.”

Venerable Shenzang waved his hand: “He’s just an Earthly Immortal, don’t worry about him.”

“Yes.”

Venerable Shenzang quickly realized that Bai Hongtu had simply reached the Mahayana stage.

So what? Mahayana cultivation requires time, and there’s no time now for a new Mahayana to grow. It wouldn’t be a big deal.

Even if “He” couldn’t figure out how to break through to the Mahayana stage, it wouldn’t matter. When He opened up a new world, He would directly define the Mahayana stage as the stage after the Tribulation Stage, and after the Mahayana stage, one would become an immortal. Let’s see what kind of waves this realm could create.

Upon hearing this, the idler Jiang Li was delighted, happy for Bai Hongtu.

Suddenly, the immortal world shook, the immortals swayed left and right, even the throne shook.

“It’s the Immortal Ladder. Someone used it to connect to the fairyland!”

“This is impossible. How could there be such a strong movement when the Immortal Ladder was connected to the fairyland!”

“I’ve read in ancient books that when the first Immortal Ladder was built, the ladder was still unstable. When it was connected to the fairyland, the entire fairyland was shaking, just like now!”

Venerable Shenzang slowly stood up and stared in one direction.

He sensed someone, using the Celestial Ladder to Immortality, arriving in the Celestial Realm. Their steps were steady and powerful, each one seeming to overturn the world. This sent shockwaves through the Celestial Realm.

Venerable Shenzang smiled faintly. The opponent’s strength was undeniable. In the past, he would have retreated before such an opponent.

But now… he was walking into a trap.

Tap, tap, footsteps approached the Jinque Cloud Palace.

The footsteps were subtle, yet they drowned out all other sounds. The entire palace was hushed, awaiting the arrival of their owner.

A figure emerged from the celestial mist and stood before the palace gates. Dressed in imperial robes, they were unruly and confident. This was the person Venerable Shenzang had sensed.

“Looks like the idle Jiang Li, quite interesting…”

Tap, tap.

Venerable Shenzang had just begun to speak when another footstep interrupted him.

Venerable Shenzang was stunned. He had only sensed one person; where did this second person come from?

The second figure passed through the fairy mist and arrived at the gate of the Jinque Cloud Palace. He looked the same as the first figure, but his temperament was completely different. He

looked ordinary, like a mortal who had accidentally strayed into the fairyland. The immortals couldn’t tell who was stronger, Jiang Li or the First Emperor. Judging from their aura, the First Emperor was much stronger than Jiang Li.
