Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Simplicity

“It should be right down here.” Li Nian’er arrived at the edge of a cliff.

The cliff was unfathomable, and to the n*ked eye, only a pitch-black darkness appeared, a chilling sight.

“To be precise, it’s directly below this location.” Jiang Li stood more than ten meters away from Li Nian’er.

With his divine sense, the cliff’s base was clearly visible.

“I’ll take you down…”

Jiang Li turned to Fairy Hongchen. Before he could finish his words, Fairy Hongchen assumed a standing long jump stance and leaped straight down.

“Sister Hong…”

“She’s just a little bit off-key, but she’s still very powerful. Don’t worry about her.”

Fairy Hongchen would certainly be fine. Even without using her immortal powers, she was a legitimate immortal with the body of an immortal.

And immortals certainly couldn’t die falling off a cliff.

After Fairy Hongchen jumped, just as Jiang Li had predicted, she didn’t fall directly to the bottom of the cliff, but was caught by a platform.

Inside the platform was a cave, with signs of both natural and artificial excavation.

Li Nian’er stepped into the air, exerting force with one foot, instantly compressing the air beneath her feet to the limit. She continued this way, step by step, towards the cliff.

“Is this the tomb of the Divine Transformation cultivator?”

After taking two steps forward, Li Nian’er felt herself touch a barrier, and a voice echoed in her ears.

“I am the Immortal Master of Ten Thousand Beasts. I was poisoned by a villain. I couldn’t bear to see the exquisite techniques I’ve learned my whole life lost, so I created this place. Those who have found this place must be destined. Those under thirty who have reached the Dan Formation stage may enter my secret realm, pass the test, and receive the inheritance. Those who force their way in will face the calamity of fire.”

Near the entrance to the secret realm lay several charred corpses, presumably those who had forced their way in despite not meeting the requirements.

Being under thirty and having reached the Dan Formation stage, Li Nian’er certainly met the requirements, and she entered.

Jiang Li and Fairy Hongchen did not meet the requirements, but neither of them took the Immortal Master of Ten Thousand Beasts’ warning to heart.

It would be truly fascinating if a Spirit Transformation Master could master flames that burned even True Immortals and Mahayana cultivators.

Sure enough, Jiang Li forced his way into the secret realm. Blazing flames burned Jiang Li, yet he yawned as he entered.

This kind of flame couldn’t even burn the edge of his clothing.

The same was true for Fairy Hongchen.

“It seems we’re not the first to arrive.”

Jiang Li saw that others were already inside the secret realm, undergoing the trials of the Myriad Beasts Master.

Du Gongzi and his companions had been severely tortured by the Myriad Beasts Master’s trials. Du Gongzi, who had previously dressed meticulously, wearing only garments woven from heavenly silkworms and staying in the “Heavenly” rooms, now dressed like a beggar, revealing an unhealthy pale complexion. Dark veins could be seen beneath his skin, a sign of his poison cultivation. At this age, at this level of practice, he might eventually achieve the state of being invincible to all poisons.

The secret realm itself was vast, dominated by a jungle environment, with demonic beasts occasionally appearing in the woods.

These beasts were of high rank, yet none had awakened to spiritual awareness.

For demonic beasts, awakening to spiritual awareness was difficult without external assistance.

The Spiritual Transformation stage marks a watershed for demonic beasts. Before this stage, demonic beasts are ignorant and unaware of the truth. However, when a demonic beast reaches this stage, it experiences a sudden sense of enlightenment, like a blind man seeing the light.

They experience an unprecedented sense of clarity, and their understanding of the world becomes clear and distinct. They comprehend everything, become able to speak human language, and master the art of transforming. They no longer act on instinct, but instead think before they act.

Demonic beasts that reach the Spiritual Transformation stage are extremely rare, and early awakening of spiritual intelligence is beneficial. Therefore, the first Bai Ze Emperor of the Bai Ze Dynasty developed a method to prematurely awaken demonic beasts, and with this method, he founded the Bai Ze Dynasty.

The demonic beasts of the secret realm have lived there since birth, so it’s impossible for them to be awakened by the Bai Ze Dynasty. They are primitive demonic beasts, operating on instinct.

Jiang Li has observed many Yuanying-stage demonic beasts with his spiritual sense, which poses a significant risk to Jindan cultivators.

Unintelligible Nascent Soul-stage demonic beasts instinctively seek advantage and avoid harm. They will circumvent those who pose a threat to them, seeking harmless prey.

Jiang Li’s group of three, with their lowest cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage, are considered extremely dangerous by these Nascent Soul-stage demonic beasts.

Meanwhile, the seven members of Du Gongzi’s group, with their highest cultivation level at the Golden Core stage, are considered prey by these Nascent Soul-stage demonic beasts.

“I will announce three tests. Each one will grant a key. Those who pass all three tests will use the three keys to unlock the gate deep within the secret realm, which is both my tomb and the repository of my inheritance.”

“The first test tests your affinity for demonic beasts. Requirements: Within half an hour, there must be at least thirty Foundation Establishment-stage demonic beasts within a hundred meters of the practitioner, and these beasts must not attack.” The dying voice of the Myriad Beasts True Person echoed in the three’s ears.

“Seems easy enough,” Li Nian’er said eagerly, preparing to gather thirty demonic beasts. She felt she had a strong affinity for them.

She walked into the jungle, hoping to approach a small rabbit. However, she had forgotten she wasn’t wearing the jade pendant her mother had given her. The dragon power within her was terrifying to demonic beasts. Despite her intentions, the rabbit, upon seeing Li Nian’er’s small dragon horns and sensing the pure dragon blood, fled in terror.

Li Nian’er, still oblivious to her lack of jade, assumed some accident had occurred. She tried several times, but each time, the demonic beast fled, even one at the Nascent Soul stage.

Dragons are considered the pinnacle of demonic beasts, and they prioritize the order of their bloodlines. While a Nascent Soul demonic beast might possess considerable cultivation, its bloodline was too low-level. Naturally, encountering Li Nian’er, who possessed dragon blood, they turned and fled.

Furious, Li Nian’er unleashed her Dharma body. The blurry, fifty-foot-long Dharma body extended dozens of arms, grabbing any weaker demonic beasts. If a demonic beast resisted, she would beat them one by one, beating them until they dared not attack her! “Did

you really think I had a good temper?”

Fairy Hongchen was also eager to try. To her, these Nascent Soul stage monsters that could crush boulders with a single claw were harmless little animals.

She loved animals, and they, of course, loved her too.

She squatted down and removed a black silk glove. Even with just a hint of skin exposed, the beasts sensed the Red Dust Fairy’s charm and swarmed from all directions, surrounding her.

“It’s very simple,” Red Dust Fairy smiled, stroking the head of a small tiger, the furry feeling pleasant.

“It’s quite simple,” Jiang Li nodded, then flew directly to the end of the secret realm. He looked at the gate with three keyholes and smashed it with a punch, revealing the tomb and inheritance of the Myriad Beasts Master.
