Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 761

Chapter 759 The Power of Taiyi Seal

Jiang Li tossed out Venerable Shenzang like trash, once again keeping his spiritual altar pristine and tidy.

Venerable Shenzang returned to his body, gasping for air, as if he had experienced a real death and was still in shock.

Venerable Shenzang took two deep breaths and made a resolution.

A few words uttered from his mouth, expressing extreme terror and madness.

“Open the furnace, refine the elixir! Tai Shang Gui Yuan!”

He wanted to refine the entire immortal world into his own strength in a desperate struggle.

“Give up.”

Jiang Li slowly walked towards Venerable Shenzang, constantly gathering power in his hands, and finally condensed it into a seal.

“Taiyi Seal.”

The great Dao is simple, and the Taiyi Seal is simple, but it represents Jiang Li’s understanding of the Tao. Just a simple opening move made the First Emperor automatically admit defeat, feeling ashamed of himself.

Now, Jiang Li finally planned to perform a complete Taiyi Seal.

The eternally unchanging Daluo Heaven cracked, revealing a simple symbol. That symbol encompassed all things, evolving from simplicity to complexity and back again, stripped of all vestiges, now representing the power of supreme goodness.

Overwhelming pressure pressed down upon Venerable Shenzang, forcing him to voluntarily abandon his human form and transform into the true form of the Heavenly Dao.

The true form of the Heavenly Dao was ethereal, rootless and traceless, a being that cultivators could never fully grasp.

But under the Taiyi Seal, even the true form of the Heavenly Dao could not escape, forcing it to manifest.

Originally, the Heavenly Dao existed in a form incomprehensible to the mortal world, but now, it manifested not in its original form but in a form that the world could understand.

The true form of the Heavenly Dao was a vibrant blue, imbued with the breath of life, the end of cultivation, the vicissitudes of time… Different people perceive the Heavenly Dao in different

ways. A closer look reveals a resemblance to the Earth’s veins, though more powerful and profound, representing their ultimate form.

The Taiyi Seal descended, striking the Heavenly Dao’s true form. It twisted and twisted, attempting to revive with its vigorous vitality, but it was futile.

The Taiyi Seal stripped the Heavenly Dao of its ability to recover, its power, its everything.

The Heavenly Dao gradually degenerated into its embryonic form, then collapsed, transforming into the will of all living beings. That will dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

The Heavenly Dao, a product of the will of all living beings, had simply returned to its most primitive form—nothingness.

The Confucian Sage and the Buddha exchanged a look of unfathomable horror.

What had just happened? The invincible Heaven vanished, leaving the future uncertain.

The meaning of Jiang Li’s counterintuitive moves was utterly incomprehensible!

They even suspected that even if the Dao Ancestor were resurrected to observe the battle, he would only be able to grasp a partial understanding.

This overturned their previous understanding.

The battle ended, and the First Emperor, restored to his peak form, gazed upon the immortals, huddled like quails, with a cruel smile.

The immortals fled in all directions, exhausting their entire cultivation to escape to the corners of the universe.

During this year, only Jiuzhou was an exception, spared from immortal attacks. Under the immortal realm’s purge plan, the situation in other worlds was dire.

“You think you can escape from me?”

The First Emperor sneered. With two impossibly large hands, he twisted Qingwei Heaven into a cage, impervious to any means of escape.

The massacre began, and the immortal realm flowed like rivers of blood. These executioners, the destroyers of the heavens and myriad worlds, suffered every kind of punishment at the hands of the First Emperor, their lives worse than death.

Screams and wails filled the air; even the methods of Hell seemed child’s play before the First Emperor.

Immortal corpses, floating on the immortal blood, wore expressions of relief, making it hard to imagine what they had endured in life.

As the immortals perished one after another, the First Emperor deliberately left Immortal Lord Duye for last, forcing him to witness the punishment meted out to his colleagues and await the long prelude to judgment.

“Duye, I came to the immortal realm to find you most.”

The First Emperor grasped Immortal Lord Duye’s neck, his eyes filled with cold cruelty, his deepest rage hidden from all.

Immortal Duye still thought this was a matter of the Nine Provinces, that the First Emperor was seeking revenge.

Jiang Li also approached. Duye had destroyed his original hometown, and he wanted to see Duye die with his own eyes.

Jiang Li admitted that when it came to killing and punishing, the First Emperor was superior.

When Immortal Duye died, he no longer had a human form, but crawled forward like a wriggling earthworm. His only thought was to escape the clutches of the First Emperor.

Then the First Emperor crushed him to death, like a bug.

…

The Underworld.

Although mentally prepared, the sight of such a large number of immortals still made Hou Tu Niangniang gasp.

Why not kill them in batches, giving the Underworld a chance to breathe? Why did they have to kill them all at once?

“Yan Luo, I’m counting on you.” Hou Tu Niangniang personally visited Yama’s Hall and offered King Yama encouragement. “After this is over, I’ll give you a promotion and a raise, and make you the second-in-command of the local government.”

“Can you give me a day off?”

“No.”

King Yama longed to check Hou Tu Niangniang’s hand in the Book of Life and Death to see if her karmic virtues were nearly depleted.

He couldn’t use the dead to their deaths just because they couldn’t die.

King Yama looked at the long queue of immortals and randomly selected one to check the Book of Life and Death. The Book automatically thickened, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to hold the immortal’s sins.

Hou Tu Niangniang wasn’t idle either. The deceased immortals had reached the level of celestial immortals, and she, the Hunyuan Wuji Immortal, was needed to maintain order.

However, after a while, she noticed that these immortals were remarkably docile.

“Strange! They look like they’ve survived a catastrophe, as if they’re thankful to finally be dead.”

…

Since the Confucian sages and the Buddha descended from Daluo Heaven, the entire immortal world is now in ruins, and Daluo Heaven is no exception. It’s like a cave, drafty and uninhabitable.

After a long conversation, Jiang Li discovered that both the Confucian Sage and the Buddha were dissatisfied with Venerable Shenzang’s methods. However, they had no better solution, so they could only feign a fight, stalling for time and biding their time.

They had assumed that their chances were completely lost after Venerable Shenzang acquired the Idle Man, but unexpectedly, Jiang Li arrived after Venerable Shenzang became unprecedentedly powerful.

“So there’s a second way to counter the Rule of Destruction!” The two were thrilled upon hearing about the method to establish order. Sure enough, there wasn’t just one way.

“Don’t worry, there is a way, but time is tight, and I don’t know when the Black Tide from your world will arrive.”

Jiang Li said sincerely, “Our plan is to use Jiuzhou as our base, continuously extending a helping hand and traveling to various worlds. To this end, I hope you two can stay in Jiuzhou, provide assistance, and establish order across the heavens and myriad realms.”

“The Yuanzu will also help,”

the Confucian Sage and the Buddha agreed without hesitation.

With three Hunyuan Wuji Immortals ruling Jiuzhou, this was equivalent to the power of half the immortal world—a truly formidable force.

Jiang Li was certain that with their help, the establishment of order would be quick.

Jiang Li was thankful that the Confucian Sage and the Buddha were still alive, otherwise it would have been difficult to establish order in the Nine Provinces.

After the affairs of the Immortal Realm were dealt with, Jiang Li and the First Emperor simultaneously turned their heads and looked at the idler.

It was time to deal with him.
