Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 The Incomplete Relics

The old Buddha had a high opinion of Jiang Li and didn’t want to engage him in direct combat. He figured that since Jiang Li wasn’t adept at spatial manipulation, he could use the endless space to trap him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li used an extremely brutal method to break the endless space that could trap an immortal, far faster than the first method!

Jiang Li knew that a direct confrontation between a Mahayana cultivator and an immortal would bring down not only Mount Sumeru but even the Nine Provinces.

Therefore, after breaking through the spatial dimension of the Buddha’s palm, he also broke through the spatial dimension of the Nine Provinces, dragging the old Buddha Xumi into the void and forcing the two to fight in the void.

The old Buddha Xumi’s golden body shone brilliantly, his face compassionate. Whether it was the intricacies of Buddhism or the result of merit, Jiang Li couldn’t tell the difference, not even the old Buddha himself.

The six-foot-tall golden body of the Buddha had been cultivated to perfection by the old Buddha Xumi, making it indestructible. Logically, even an immortal of the same level would have had difficulty breaking through it.

However, Jiang Li, a master of the Daoist arts, used his magical powers to transmute stone into

gold. With a single finger, he transformed the old Buddha into a six-foot-tall stone statue, then pulverized it. Even a drop of blood could regenerate a Buddha in the Tribulation Crossing stage, let alone an old Buddha already an immortal. Each particle of pulverized dust transformed into himself, and a golden light merged, illuminating the void. Billions of Sumeru Buddhas attacked Jiang Li in unison.

Dao Zong’s One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones allowed him to create two identical versions of himself. Three simultaneous selves was the limit. Jiang Li knew there couldn’t be billions of Sumeru Buddhas, only three true forms at most.

He spit out clouds of mist, transforming rain into soldiers, and engaged billions of Sumeru Buddhas in battle.

A twist on the Bean-Scattering Soldier technique, turning rain into soldiers.

Dao Zong welcomed Jiang Li’s study of Daoism; he learned one technique, but could return two to Dao Zong.

A fight with the old Buddha will reveal who is real and who is fake. Jiang Li soon found the true bodies of the three old Buddhas. Xumi old Buddha sighed: “Jiang Li, you know, your talent terrifies me.”

While using his magical powers to fight with Jiang Li, the old Buddha said: “I have lived for nine thousand seven hundred years. In the first seven hundred years, I have seen immortals, and no immortal can be as powerful as you. In the last nine thousand years, I have seen countless heroes, and no one can surpass you, and the same is true for me.”

“You know, every time you explain what the Mahayana stage is and how to become a Mahayana stage, I will go to listen, either explicitly or implicitly.” When Xumi old Buddha said this, his momentum rose again, his expression was ferocious, and he roared:

“But I don’t understand! I don’t understand what you are talking about at all! If I can be promoted to the Mahayana stage, why should I kill people! Why!”

Jiang Li also roared: “What can I do? I have explained it very thoroughly! What else do you want me to say!”

Xumi old Buddha blew out a breath of Samadhi true fire, fell on Jiang Li, and disappeared.

Jiang Li felt his Dao heart consumed by a raging fire, like iron being hammered a thousand times, burning with pain.

Samadhi fire ignited within him, fueled by his Dao heart, incinerating his body and soul. Some with unwavering faith saw their bodies and souls reduced to ash, their hearts still seared by

the Samadhi fire. Jiang Li unleashed his Heart Sword, striking himself with his own sword, his sword intent shattering the Samadhi fire.

The old Buddha attempted to use his Palm Buddha Kingdom to trap Jiang Li in the cycle of reincarnation, but this time Jiang Li remained unmoved, breaking free from the cycle and engaging in another battle.

Both possessed profound mystical powers, but Jiang Li’s skill was superior, defeating the Xumi Buddha.

He placed a finger between the old Buddha’s eyebrows, threatening to pierce his spiritual altar if he made any unsettling movement.

The old Buddha coughed up blood, a golden color that was unstable in the air and exploded.

He chuckled bitterly, “You entered the cycle of reincarnation on purpose, didn’t you? You just wanted to tell me what you were saying.”

Jiang Li remained silent.

The old Buddha coughed twice, barely stabilizing his breath, and continued, “You’re giving me a pass. The extraterritorial demons are as powerful as I am, yet you kill them easily, yet you’re fighting me back and forth.”

“Then why didn’t you leave Jiuzhou and travel to other worlds after you became an immortal?”

After becoming an immortal, the turbulent winds in the void were no problem for the old Buddha Xumi. Moreover, he was proficient in the ways of space, making travel to other places easy.

Yet, he chose to stay in Jiuzhou, on Mount Xumi, as if waiting for Jiang Li’s arrival.

“…Yeah…why…I don’t know…I obviously go to other worlds…you can’t find me…maybe it’s because I feel I’m not wrong…I feel you will understand…will forgive me…after all…I saved Jiuzhou…”

Jiang Li was silent for a while before asking, “Who is Venerable Shenzang? Where is the Demon from Beyond?”

The old Buddha shook his head: “What you saw in the Shenzang Sect…is all I know…The Demon from Beyond only told me that if I kill people after believing in Venerable Shenzang…I can gain merit…The theory of Shenzang was made up by me according to His name…What He is…I don’t know…maybe it’s the belief of the Demon from Beyond…”

“As for the Demon from Beyond…” The old Buddha Xumi pointed to his throat, “I was also put under the Liuhe Zuolian Curse…I can’t say…even though I’m an immortal now…”

There is another way to break the Liuhe Zuolian Curse, and that is to elevate the person under the curse to the same realm as the caster, and the curse will be broken without any solution.

“…Do you understand…the other party is one realm higher than me…but he only dares to do things secretly…Jiang Li…he is afraid of you…”

Xumi Buddha is an earthly immortal, and the alien demon who sneaked into Jiuzhou is a celestial immortal. The celestial immortal is afraid of a Mahayana stage cultivator.

Xumi Buddha laughed at himself, but when he thought of the alien demon’s cautious look, like a thief, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

He had founded the Shenzang Sect without telling Jiang Li, and secretly collected the power of merit, which was very similar to the alien demon.

The alien demon had calculated that he would not tell Jiang Li about the power of merit, so he told him that. In his eyes, was he so afraid of death?

“…” “…

” “…I know you are investigating who told Jiang Yixing about the devil…it was the extraterritorial demon who sneaked into Jiuzhou…”

“…Have you ever thought about…what the extraterritorial demon is…Jiang Li…Changcun Xianweng is lying…He must have concealed something about…the extraterritorial demon…”

“…Maybe you believe him…I don’t believe it…”

“…Jiang Li…you are right…the sky has changed…the sky wants to destroy us…only you can protect Jiuzhou…”

Sumeru Buddha tried hard to get into a cross-legged sitting posture, put his hands together, burned his body, and turned into a broken relic.

…What went wrong that led Jiang Li to discover the Shenzang Sect… That’s right… It started with going to the Tiansha Pavilion… and letting the assassin kill him… Why did he do that… It seems that since he survived the fifteen immortal tribulations… his behavior has changed…

…This change… is good… is…

Jiang Li held the broken relic, with mixed feelings, but he didn’t know what to say.

He returned to Jiuzhou in silence.
