Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: The Poison Master’s Diary

On a certain day, a certain month, a

certain year, the weather was clear and my mood was cheerful. My intuition told me that today would be a day of good harvest. It looked like I would receive the inheritance from the Myriad Beasts Master.

For this day, I made thorough preparations, bringing along every possible poisonous insect and poisonous substance. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t dare touch me directly.

Let’s set off.

Unfortunately, my servants couldn’t understand why I was writing a diary; they were truly foolish.

We reached the edge of a cliff. Unsure of the exact location, we searched for a long time before finally finding the entrance.

It turns out that only those under the age of thirty at the Golden Core stage can enter the secret realm. Several of my servants have formed poison pills. While they’re fake, they still barely qualify as Golden Core, allowing entry.

I’d say I’m lucky today.

Three tests are required to open the gate? Can’t I just open it directly?

The gate is incredibly strong. I guess the Myriad Beasts Master must have cast some formation there before his death. Even a Spiritual Transformation cultivator wouldn’t be able to open it with brute force in a short time, let alone someone like me at the Golden Core stage.

The first test tests your affinity with demonic beasts. It’s an interesting challenge.

Sure enough, after poisoning the monsters, I sprinkled the antidote next to me, and they immediately came to me to take it. It seems monsters have sharp intuition.

The second test requires defeating ten monsters of the same level. It seems to be a test of combat prowess. Hmph, how could a bunch of mindless monsters defeat a poison master like me?

I was careless. These monsters are incredibly intuitive. They figured out that consuming my blood would cure the poison, and after poisoning them, their attack power increased.

So, I had to use a powerful poison.

Damn, these monsters have tough skin and flesh, and their final counterattacks left me with many wounds.

The servants’ fake pills are so weak, they can’t even defeat a Jindan-stage monster. Wait, how did Ah Liu pass the second test?

What? Ah Liu said that if he fed the monsters, they would surrender? Isn’t this a test of combat prowess, but rather a test of knowledge of monsters?

Regardless, I finally passed this level. I’ve got two keys. Just one more, and I’ll open the gate!

The third test involved reconciling several feuding Nascent Soul-stage demon beasts.

… I suspected Master Wanshou was playing a trick. Those Nascent Soul-stage demon beasts lacked intelligence. We couldn’t communicate with them, so how could we possibly understand their conflict and how to reconcile?

This was the final stage, so I had to give it a try.

The Nascent Soul-stage demon beast was ferocious; it nearly crushed me with a single claw, killing countless venomous insects. But I might know the reason for their conflict.

Sure enough, it was this reason that I guessed right. All my wounds, all my poisonous insects, and all my poisons were worth it. I was finally about to pass the test and obtain the third key.

Master Wanshou’s legacy lay before me!

…

Young Master Du closed his diary with satisfaction.

Supported by Ah Liu, he clutched the three keys tightly as he limped towards the gate at the end of the secret realm.

After three tests, Young Master Du was left with only Ah Liu, his servant.

“Young Master, look! There’s a meteor!” Ah Liu suddenly pointed at a streak of light flying toward the end of the secret realm.

A boom—

the sound echoed throughout the realm, startling the demonic beasts and sending them fleeing in panic.

Seeing the gate shattered by a single punch, the Du Young Master’s mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, his hands shaking so violently that Ah Liu couldn’t hold them down.

…

Opening the stone gate, Jiang Li saw several magical treasures flying through the cluttered stone house. The coffin had been shattered. Inside the coffin, the remains of the Myriad Beasts Master and the remains of the demonic beasts buried with him had also been shattered by the magical treasures.

“Finally, someone opened the gate!”

“Kill him! Get out of this damn place!”

“I’m suffocating in this damn place!”

Since the magical treasures gained intelligence, they had been trapped in this secret realm. Trying their best, they couldn’t break the gate. To vent their anger, they split open the coffin of the Myriad Beasts Master, smashing his remains and the remains of the demonic beasts buried with him.

Now that the gate had finally opened, they intended to kill the one who had opened it and leave the secret realm.

Jiang Li casually clenched his fist, crushing the arrogant spiritual treasures into a ball of scrap metal, rendering them motionless.

Fortunately, the legacy of Master Wanshou was stored in his storage ring, untouched by the spiritual treasure.

Seeing that Jiang Li had already opened the gate, Fairy Hongchen and Li Nian’er, no longer foolishly rushing through one test after another, joined them.

“The ‘Illustrated Book of Immortal Beasts’ you’re looking for should be in here. Find it yourself.” Jiang Li pursed his lips, motioning Fairy Hongchen to search the storage ring for the book.

On the way here, Jiang Li had already told Li Nian’er that this girl, named Hong, loved immortal beasts and wanted to read the ‘Illustrated Book of Immortal Beasts’. He would give it to her after she finished reading it.

Li Nian’er naturally believed Jiang Li’s words.

Fairy Hongchen found the ‘Illustrated Book of Immortal Beasts’ and, upon opening the first page, was greeted by the phantom of a white-headed, red-footed ape, its overwhelming power overwhelming

. As she continued to flip through the pages, more and more imaginary immortal beasts appeared in the stone house, and Fairy Hongchen was delighted to see them.

Jiang Li scanned the remaining books with his spiritual sense and learned the contents of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal’s inheritance. Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal indeed possessed some unique insights into the art of taming beasts. Jiang Li’s assessment was that if he hadn’t died early, he might have been a major threat to Kyushu.

He proposed a theory that transformed the art of taming beasts into the art of taming humans.

If he could tam beasts, why not humans?

“Could you cultivators please stop having these dangerous thoughts?” Jiang Li said helplessly. He’d better keep this inheritance to himself and not show it to others.

There were also some elixirs in the storage ring. If Jiang Li had arrived five hundred years earlier, the medicinal properties of these elixirs would still be there. But now, they were just a pile of dregs, completely useless.

Jiang Li had also read his cultivation method, which was quite intriguing. It involved forming a life-and-death contract with a demon beast. The master’s strength would allow the demon beast to become stronger, and so would the demon beast. When the demon beast died, the master would also die.

But for Jiang Li, it was completely useless.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and obtaining the inheritance of the Myriad Beasts Master]

[Reward: One drop of fresh Bai Ze blood (temporarily stored with the system to ensure freshness, the host can retrieve it at any time)]

“It’s quite useful indeed.” Jiang Li rarely praised the system.

The technique that instantly boosted explosive power was called “Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea.” Activating it caused a surge of Qi and blood, thereby increasing instantaneous combat power and allowing the opponent to be caught off guard.

Jiang Li practiced it and found that his vigorous Qi and blood were showing signs of subsiding slightly.

As for the Great Rejuvenation Pill, it was completely useless to Jiang Li. The Great Rejuvenation Pill was only useful for cultivators in the Fusion Stage. After the Tribulation Stage, a drop of blood could be used to regenerate, so why would they even need the Great Rejuvenation Pill to heal injuries?
