Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 774
Chapter 771 Finale
After bidding farewell to Emperor Shun,
Jiang Li planned to return to Jiuzhou. Jiang Li used his words to make his words come true: “Let me return to Jiuzhou.”
Emperor Shun, who had just said goodbye to Jiang Li, turned back and silently opened a door, inviting him to leave.
…
Across from the door opened by Emperor Shun was the place where the earth vein was located, the same location as when Jiang Li left.
Jiang Li came to the Human Emperor Palace above the earth vein and found that the Human Emperor Palace was extremely lively. Bai Hongtu was busy directing the guards to do something.
There was also an elegant and quiet woman next to her, wearing a pink dress, who was very conspicuous.
“Palace Master, you really came back after seven days.” Commander Liu smiled when he saw Jiang Li coming back.
Jiang Li was stunned. “Seven days? What seven days?”
“Emperor Shun told Ji Zhi in a dream that you would leave the earth veins in seven days. So, as we agreed in the previous meeting, we’re holding a welcome party to celebrate your triumphant return from the parallel world. Plus, since our exploration of the heavens has come to an end, we decided to make it a grand occasion.” “
Originally, Bai Hongtu volunteered to prepare it, but I thought his preparations were awful. He even approved something like a striptease from the Hehuan Sect. I couldn’t stand it, so I pushed him aside and let me take over.”
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Commander Liu was still reliable.
“Who is this…” Jiang Li looked at the woman in a pink dress who had been standing silently beside him.
“Xiao Tao, say hello to the Palace Master.”
“Tao Yao greets Emperor Jiang, and Emperor Jiang greets me.”
Jiang Li stared at Tao Yao for a long moment before realizing, “You are the immortal peach tree in the Red Dust Pure Land!”
“Yes.”
“How did you transform?”
“The Red Dust Fairy said she had lost her natural beauty and could wander freely down the mountain. As a tree, I should also wander, so I asked the Confucian Sage to help me transform.”
“It’s not easy for an immortal tree to transform. Congratulations.”
“Palace Master, please walk around outside. The welcome party will begin in an hour.”
Jiang Li exited the Human Emperor Palace and found it bustling with activity, larger than any previous celebration. Due to the widespread availability of spatial pathways, any part of Jiuzhou was connected to the Human Emperor Palace, and a constant stream of people came to attend the celebration.
Zhang Konghu had been summoned by the old Dragon King to inspect the progress of the Four Seas Dragon Kings in cultivating the Jiang Li Human Emperor Power.
Zhang Konghu and the other four Dragon Kings arm wrestled in a contest of strength, but only the East Sea Dragon King managed to defeat Zhang Konghu.
The East Sea Dragon King, shaking his wrist, complained, “Commander Zhang, you said that the standard for achieving intermediate mastery of the Jiang Li Ren Huang Jin is to defeat you in strength, while achieving full mastery would allow one to wrestle Jiang Ren Huang single-handedly. Isn’t the gap between intermediate and full mastery too great?”
The other three Dragon Kings nodded in agreement; they would never reach full mastery.
Zhang Konghu said truthfully, “I think you discovered this problem too late.”
“It’s not too late, there’s still a chance to make amends. I heard that Emperor Jiang met the First Emperor in a parallel world and easily defeated him. Why don’t we add a standard between the intermediate and great achievements, called Pseudo-Great Accomplishment, which would mean being able to wrestle the First Emperor hand to hand.” “
That’s fine with me.”
…
“Did you hear the author of ‘The First Half of My Life’ is signing books over there?”
“It’s that book known for its tragedy. Many heartbroken people feel less unlucky after reading it, and their hope for life is rekindled.”
“I also heard the author is Commander Huang of the Human Emperor Palace.”
“Go check it out.”
…
“Brother Ma, Sister Zhuo, Aisu and I haven’t had children in ages. What should we do?” Commander Mu complained to Ma and Zhuo. Ma
and Zhuo hurriedly advised, “We can’t have children. Ever since we had that little bastard, we’ve lost our sexual life.”
…
There was a shoving sound, and several men tackled the man running in front to the ground, punching and kicking him.
“Hurry up and fight! The Human Emperor Palace guards will be here soon.”
The bystanders indignantly accused the man who had been attacked, showing no sympathy as they watched him being beaten.
“What’s wrong with this guy?” Jiang Li asked.
“This bastard came out of the Hehuan Sect and reported the Hehuan Sect to the Human Emperor Palace guards. I didn’t even have time to show my support before he was kicked out. I heard this isn’t the first time this bastard has done something like this, and we finally caught him. Pah!”
Jiang Li also noticed that among the attackers were Emperor Meng Jiang and Emperor Wei, who were the most brutal.
The Human Emperor Palace guards quickly arrived and pulled the crowd apart.
…
“Jingxin, what do you think of this book? Do you want to go in?”
“Sister Yuyin, this book is not good. The story doesn’t have much twists and turns, and the setting is boring.”
“How about finding a copy of ‘The Biography of the Human Emperor Jiang’ and going in?”
“Hey, that’s a good idea.”
Jiang Li saw Saint Lady Jingxin and Yuyin sitting in the bookstore, whispering.
The bookshelf behind them was labeled “Jiangli District,” and it contained everything related to Jiangli: vernacular novels, textbooks, collections of essays, journals, and even the process for making candied haws.
“Jingxin, Yuyin, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Saint Jingxin was like a child caught doing something bad, flustered.
Yuyin, as composed as ever, said, “Nothing. We both like reading and were discussing our favorites. I heard you spent seven days in the earth veins, and you came out?” “
I did some finishing work,” Jiang Li replied, not intending to share what he had seen.
“Have you checked the program?”
“Not yet.” Jiang Li shook his head; he hadn’t even heard of such a thing.
“The show features a performance by Jingxin and me. Jingxin’s doing the Feathered Immortal Dance, and I’m accompanying her.”
Jiang Li smiled, “That’s truly rare! I’m really looking forward to it. By the way, where is Bai Hongtu?”
Yu Yin stood up, “I’ll go find him with you.”
…
When Jiang Li and Yu Yin found Bai Hongtu, he was performing a crosstalk with Daozu on the street. Bai Hongtu was the funny one, Daozu the supporting one. It was their first performance, and their coordination was seamless, drawing roars of applause from the audience.
Fairy Hongchen, the Confucian Sage, and the Empress Hou Tu pretended to be ordinary audience members, booing and shouting for more.
Fairy Hongchen and the Empress Hou Tu were the loudest.
Immortal Elder Changcun fidgeted and whispered, “Senior Confucian Sage, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
The Confucian Sage smiled, “Changcun, do you know what Daozu did at the Immortal Emperor’s coronation ceremony?”
“I don’t know.” That happened millions of years ago, and Immortal Elder Changcun didn’t know the specific circumstances.
“Your master, Daozu Shanshi, is the most authentic. It’s normal that you don’t know the real Daozu. Daozu performed a stand-up comedy at the grand ceremony, and the Immortal Emperor was deeply moved. He felt that Daozu’s condescending performance was a recognition of his imperial throne.”
“What happened next?”
“Then the Immortal Emperor discovered that Daozu performed stand-up comedy wherever he went.”
“…”
The street performance ended. Seeing Jiang Li and Yu Yin looking for him, Bai Hongtu stopped performing and went off the stage to find them.
“I’m just warming up before the celebration performance.”
Jiang Li glanced at Bai Hongtu. “As long as you don’t perform the Thunder Tribulation at the celebration, anything else is fine.”
The three of them walked on the street, each buying a string of candied haws, chatting and laughing.
Along the way, the three of them saw Li Er, stealthily buying a collection of demon-clan portraits; the Bai Xueling sisters also shopping; Qi Sha Daozi, wielding a compassionate sword in his left hand and a ruthless sword in his right; Qin Luan, trapped in the Shura Field, and Yuan Wuxing, watching the joke; Li Nian’er, searching for her father; Ji Zhi and Ji Kongkong, father and daughter, engaging in a staring contest of time; and Yu Youxian, livestreaming the grand celebrations…
Suddenly, Bai Hongtu took an interest in something on sale at a particular stall.
The stall was selling statues of Jiang Li, him, and Yu Yin, all in the Mahayana stage.
“How much is Jiang Li’s statue?”
“Ten low-grade spirit stones.”
“How much is Yu Yin’s statue?”
“Five low-grade spirit stones.”
“My, no, Bai Hongtu’s?”
The vendor looked at Bai Hongtu’s statue and casually said, “If you buy those two, this is a bonus, free.”
Bai Hongtu’s smile froze, Jiang Li laughed heartily, and Yu Yin chuckled softly.
All three of them were smiling, clearly delighted.
In the end, Jiang Li bought all three statues. He kept his own and gave the other two to Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin.
“This is called the Mahayana Stage Three-Piece Set,” the vendor said.
This was just a brief interlude. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu continued chatting and laughing, recounting strange stories from all over the place, teasing each other and revealing each other’s secrets. Yu Yin listened quietly, occasionally adding a few words.
Suddenly, the three of them were transported back to five hundred years ago, when everyone was still a candidate for the title of Human Emperor.
Jiang Li sighed inwardly. Five hundred years had passed, and their identities and status had changed, but their original aspirations remained the same.
The celebration was about to begin.
On the high platform, the emperors of the nine dynasties and the heads of the six major sects sat upright. Jiang Li coughed softly, and the previously noisy crowd below quickly quieted.
Countless eyes fixed on the figure on the stage, their admiration overflowing.
The celebration was broadcast live from the Tianji Tower, and it would be visible not only in Jiuzhou but also in all the realms.
It could be said that at this moment, all beings in the universe were fixed on Jiang Li, their gaze fixed on him.
Among them were children, who had grown up hearing stories about Jiang Renhuang, and the voices of their elders praising him.
He had slain the outer demons, transformed the culture of Jiuzhou, destroyed the immortal realm, and led Jiuzhou towards the other worlds, providing a stable environment for development.
He wrote books explaining cultivation knowledge, popularized techniques, elevated the mortals’ cultivation, provided various avenues for advancement for both mortals and cultivators, and opened up dimensional passages for smooth communication.
From the grandiose efforts to unite the universe to the smallest details of daily life, Jiang Renhuang’s presence was evident everywhere.
As the children watched Jiang Li, their own image of Jiang Renhuang gradually overlapped, and a small seed of hope took root within them.
The younger generation, after all, could not experience the same profound experiences as the older generation. The older generation had experienced Jiuzhou before Jiang Li, and only they could truly appreciate the profound changes Jiang Li had brought to Jiuzhou.
The candidates for the Human Emperor arrived at the scene, looking at Jiang Li. The more they experienced, the more they realized how great a person Jiang Li was.
It was for this reason that they constantly underwent tests, perfected themselves, and strived to approach Jiang Li.
Many people from other worlds were in the audience, seeing the real Jiang Human Emperor for the first time.
An inexplicable sense of security was their first impression.
It seemed that as long as the man on the stage was there, no problem could be unsolvable.
This feeling couldn’t be explained scientifically, but they just felt it.
Jiang Li stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the silent crowd below, a smile curling his lips as he said loudly,
“The celebration begins.”
