Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 773

Chapter 770 The Most Ancient Secret (Thanks to the book friend Huan Mengyan for the reward)

Qiong felt a surge of emotion, feeling restless and unable to calm down. He stopped teaching Di, Xuan, and the other eight and headed for his teacher’s retreat.

Taichu’s retreat was empty, devoid of anything, as if Taichu had never been there.

“Teacher!”

Qiong leaned against the wall, his soul broken. He knew his teacher was dead.

Taichu and Qiong had discussed life and death many times, but Qiong had never experienced death and could never comprehend Taichu’s words when he spoke of death.

So this was what death was.

“Saint Master, what’s wrong?” Di asked.

Qiong looked at the eight students, heartbroken, and said in a trembling voice, “Teacher Taichu, your master has reincarnated.”

“Remember, this is the law of the cycle of life and death.”

Although Di and the other eight had never heard Taichu teach, they often played around him, their affection no less profound than Qiong’s.

However, they were still in their naiveté, unsure of what death truly meant.

Qiong sighed. These eight students still had a long way to go before they could grow up.

“Take a week off, and start classes next week.”

Years passed, and there were still only nine of them in the universe: one teacher and eight students.

Qiong found this life wonderful. Without Taichu, he was the only authority, and everyone respected and listened to him.

Taichu had never taught Qiong, so Qiong didn’t know that this feeling was called a sense of control, and it was usually the beginning of dictatorship.

Qiong stood within the boundary wall, looking at the world not far away, and a desire to explore arose.

But he was only at the Tribulation Crossing stage. If he stepped into the void, he would be shattered by it.

“What a pity, there is no realm above the Tribulation Period… Wait, I remember Teacher Taichu said that in the old world, there was a separation between immortals and mortals. Mortals could become immortals, and immortals were the realm after the Tribulation Period. Immortals can be divided into Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Golden Immortals and Hunyuan Wuji Immortals.”

“Teacher said that the reason why He is omnipotent and can create the world is because He is the only thought in the world.”

“Although there are nine people in our world now, I am a Saint Master, and they will believe in my words. In this way, the condition of ‘only thought’ should be met.”

…

“Today we continue to study the rules of life evolution.”

“Teacher has told everyone that the Tribulation Period is the final form of life evolution. The final form here has a prerequisite, that is, the final form of mortals.”

“After mortals, there are immortals.”

“Immortals?” The child named Heng felt inexplicably itchy in his heart when he heard the word immortal. He learned better than his brothers and sisters about the rules of life evolution.

Qiong nodded: “Yes, immortal.”

“Once you become an immortal, your lifespan will be one hundred thousand years. The immortal’s rank is equal to the world, and the immortal can roam in the void without restraint.”

“There are four levels of immortal realms, namely earth immortal, celestial immortal, golden immortal and Hunyuan Wuji immortal.”

“We will talk about this part later, today let’s talk about how to become an immortal.”

“To become an immortal, there are two indispensable steps, one is the immortal body, and the other is immortal power.”

“Unlike the spiritual energy that everyone knows, immortal power is a more advanced energy with infinite uses.”

“Saint Master, where does the immortal power come from?” Heng raised his hand and asked.

“It comes from the Heavenly Dao.”

“What is the Heavenly Dao?”

“Just like the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it shouldn’t be taught lightly. The Dao that can be spoken of isn’t the real Dao. The Dao resides within, requiring your careful contemplation.”

“What you think within is the Dao.”

“As far as you know now, only the Heavenly Dao can release immortal power; it’s a prerequisite for becoming an immortal.”

“It’s because our world possesses the Heavenly Dao that allows people to become immortals that our world is called the Immortal Realm.”

The students nodded in confusion, understanding, yet also seeming to not understand.

After class, the students continued to ponder the nature of the Heavenly Dao. Qiong gazed up at the starry sky, vaguely sensing that the Heavenly Dao was gradually taking shape.

…

An unknown amount of time passed, and during class, everyone was present except Di, who had disappeared somewhere.

“Di, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you in class?” Qiong angrily sought Di out.

This had never happened before.

Di lay on the lawn, eyes closed. She yawned and said impatiently, “What’s so good about this? It’s just the same eight rules, repeated over and over again. What’s the point? I’m tired of listening to them.”

Di no longer addressed Qiong as Saint Master, and her attitude was no longer respectful.

“Besides, I’m also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. If we really came to blows, I wouldn’t be afraid of you.”

At the beginning of the world, dangers abounded, but as the second person created by Taichu, Di had easily survived the Tribulation Crossing Stage and reached the

Tribulation Crossing Stage. Qiong felt angry, a feeling he had never felt before.

He had lost control of his eight students. Di was already in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and it was only a matter of time before the others did too.

With the emergence of living beings, more and more Tribulation Crossing Stages and immortals would appear, and he would no longer be special.

Finally, under Qiong’s pressure, Di obediently returned to class. But this incident made Qiong ponder a question:

Why was he special? Was it because he was the first person created by Taichu?

“No, everyone trusts me because I have knowledge. The essence of knowledge is resources.”

“If I want everyone to listen to me, I must control resources.”

“Knowledge is difficult to control and will eventually spread, so I control energy.”

…

“Classmates, today we will learn the ninth rule, the law of conservation of energy.”

“Have you ever thought about this question: where does energy come from?”

“Teacher, I can tell you that energy has existed since the beginning of creation.”

“The world is fair, and the total amount of energy is fixed and unchanging.”

“If energy could be created out of nothing, wouldn’t the world be in chaos long ago?”

Qiong’s words were indeed true. The immortal world was full of energy, and the eight students had never worried about it, so they believed Qiong’s words.

Qiong knew that once the law of conservation of energy was established, no one could break it. All future scientific research and immortal cultivation would follow the law of conservation of energy, even accepting it as common sense.

People would not question knowledge that had always existed.

“The law of conservation of energy can be called a pseudo-rule. Unless the entire world disbelieves in the law of conservation of energy, this rule will always hold true, on par with the eight laws.”

Qiong succeeded, and all nine laws were fulfilled as he wished.

“According to Master Taichu’s prediction, we’ll soon see a surge in the birth of new beings. This will be the first wave of life in all the heavens and myriad realms, and the immortal realm is no exception. What I need to do is to continuously cultivate and quickly become a Primordial Wuji Immortal, the master of all the heavens and myriad realms.”

“Only by becoming powerful can one control everything.”

…

“Saint Master, why do you want to control all the energy in all the heavens and myriad realms? Does everyone need your permission to cultivate?”

“You even make all living beings swear to be your slaves and servants. Is this how you treat people?”

Qiong established the Ancient Heavenly Court and demanded that all the heavens and myriad realms accept his rule.

Di and the other eight came to Qiong, dissatisfied with his actions.

Qiong frowned slightly. These eight had been constantly opposing him in recent years, undermining his authority. It was time to clean up the mess and establish his authority.

The battle in the Ancient Heavenly Court began. It wasn’t as dramatic as the current clash between the Primordial Wuji Immortals, but it was even more bloody.

Of the eight, Heng, the youngest, was the strongest.

Sixty years of uninterrupted fighting began. Heng broke through in the battle, becoming the first Hunyuan Wuji Immortal, ending Qiong’s brutal reign.

Qiong’s death ended the scene.

The imprint on the stone depicted events before the creation of the parallel world, indicating that these events had initially occurred in each parallel world.

Jiang Li continued down the river of time. Emperor Shun, upon seeing Jiang Li emerge, wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Li’s serious expression, he remained silent.

Jiang Li exclaimed in surprise at Taichu’s reincarnation, “Hou Tu Niangniang?”

Although Taichu was genderless, her reincarnation as Hou Tu was still a far cry from Jiang Li’s expectations.

He observed that among the eight, Heng, the youngest, became the Dao Ancestor. The other seven, lacking talent, failed to achieve Hunyuan Wuji Immortal status. Their lifespans succumbed to the passage of time, and they passed away.

He saw Qiong also reincarnate, achieving immortality with each reincarnation, even becoming Qiongxiao in his ninth reincarnation, the Immortal Emperor.

“No wonder in one of the parallel worlds, the Immortal Emperor successfully rebelled and replaced the Heavenly Dao.”

Jiang Li finally understood everything.
