The Reversal System: Only for the Elite at the Mahayana Stage

Ji Zhi sighed in his heart, knowing full well where the rumors of the massacre of an entire city came from.

At the time, after the extraplanar demons were defeated, they used the Demon Disintegration technique to create one hundred thousand clones that covered the entire city. Anyone contaminated by it, regardless of their cultivation level, would fall prey to their inner demons and lose their sanity, attacking anyone they saw and spreading the contamination. Even Unity stage cultivators were not immune.

If these contaminated people were not killed immediately, the entire Nine Provinces would be contaminated.

However, the karmic force involved was too great, and the reputation would not be good if it was spread, so the candidates for the People's Emperor were reluctant to act. Only Jiang Li acted without hesitation, killing anyone he saw without hesitation, and finally even killing the infected Unity stage cultivator to stop the spread of contamination.

At that time, Jiang Li said he had not yet found a solution, and it would only increase panic if it was spread, so he said it was a mistake in battle with the extraplanar demons.

After that, no one dared to call themselves a candidate for the People's Emperor in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li threw the man aside and said to the prostrate Jiang clan leader, "Jiang clan leader, I know you are trying to incite the masses, thinking that I value people's wishes and want to use their thoughts to force me to allow the Jiang family to join the People's Emperor's Palace."

"The position of the People's Emperor's Palace is superior, with many privileges. The Jiang Yixing's cultivation of the demonic path case naturally falls under the jurisdiction of the People's Emperor's Palace. You have repeatedly emphasized the innocence and repentance of Jiang Yixing, recalling your childhood, just to make me raise my hand high and let the Jiang family off the hook."

"Jiang clan leader, do you really think I care about people's thoughts?"

Jiang Li no longer cared about the Jiang clan leader's reaction and the thoughts of the people. He turned his head and said to Ji Zhi, "Ji brother, how to handle Jiang Yixing's case is up to you. You don't need to consider my opinion."

"Unfortunately, I was hoping you would plead with me to let the Jiang family off the hook so I could have the opportunity to fight you!"

The two laughed heartily after speaking.

Yuan Wuxing had an epiphany and, without fear, his Dan was shattered and his Nascent Soul appeared, reaching the Upper Grade.

...

With Zhou Huang and the People's Emperor presiding, the case progressed quickly. Zhou Huang even used the Image Capturing Ball to trace back time and capture each of the suspects.

Except for a few who were unaware, the Jiang family was imprisoned and executed after autumn.

As for those who had been city lords in Qingcheng, only two were unaware of the Jiang family's actions. The other former city lords were imprisoned and executed after autumn.

Jiang Yixing was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and punished with the destruction of his divine form.

The two princes were even more guilty of shielding and were imprisoned for a hundred years without the possibility of parole or commutation due to their special status. Zhou Huang took the opportunity to investigate corruption and shielding, causing a stir in the Great Zhou officialdom.The Heavenly Prison was gloomy and damp, with the Ten-Faced Absolute Spirit Array immersed in the foundation stone, causing the spiritual energy to be thin and the spiritual senses to be dull. It prevented the imprisoned cultivators from making breakthroughs in their cultivation. If one were to spend their whole life here, they might not even be able to reach the Qi Condensation stage, let alone the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stages.

There were only two types of people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. One type was those with high cultivation. They would first have their eight extraordinary meridians and seven apertures sealed with silver needles, rendering them unable to cultivate. The other type was those who were extremely wicked and evil, despite having low cultivation. They possessed a fierce temperament and would cause trouble if imprisoned elsewhere.

The two types of people in the Heavenly Prison didn't get along with each other. The former looked down on all living beings and despised those who caused trouble with their fierce temperament. The latter feared nothing and no one, regardless of their previous cultivation level, as they were all just mortals here.

Thus, the clamor and cursing in the Heavenly Prison never ceased.

However, today was different. The two types of people were no longer arguing with each other. Instead, they sat quietly and obediently, not daring to cause any trouble.

"Jiang Renhuang is truly awe-inspiring. He can silence these prisoners with just his presence." Jiang Yixing smiled and looked at Jiang Li. His old age made him cough even when he laughed.

To an unknowing observer, the two people sitting across from each other could be mistaken for grandfather and grandson, rather than first cousins who were only a year apart in age.

Jiang Yixing had killed hundreds of infants and practiced demonic cultivation. Either one of these was enough to land him in the Heavenly Prison, let alone both.

"You should be grateful that this is the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it were any other dynasty, I would have killed you in the Jiang family, regardless of the laws!" Jiang Li's face was filled with anger.

Jiang Yixing sneered, "The Mahayana stage is truly extraordinary. Unlike me, who has no spiritual roots or infinite Dao body, and was born with the worst Five Elements Wasted Body. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bullied by you. Even I can't count the number of life and death crises I've faced to reach the Mahayana stage."

"I don't bully the weak like you do. You slaughtered infants, truly inhumane!"

Jiang Yixing coldly snorted and stopped speaking. He had only said those words out of anger.

"I only have one question. Why did you come back after five hundred years? If you didn't come back, no one would have found me!" Jiang Yixing's face showed resentment, and the wrinkles on his face trembled. If Jiang Li hadn't returned, he could have secretly controlled the entire Qingcheng, acting like a big shot. When the opportunity arose, he could break through to the Divine Transformation stage and live for a thousand years.

"Why do you have to come back when you're the People's Emperor, and I'm the uncrowned king of Qingcheng? We could have coexisted peacefully. Why did you have to come back?""I came to see you because I had a feeling. I can't explain it clearly." Jiang Li originally wanted to explain to Jiang Yixing what a system is, but he found it difficult to explain it clearly, so he decided not to say anything and just attribute it all to his intuition.

"The heavens have their own rules. Maybe even the heavens can't stand my behavior and sent you to punish me." Jiang Yixing rambled on, not surprised by this answer.

Jiang Yixing had anticipated this answer, but Jiang Li didn't say anything, so he couldn't be sure if it was what he had expected. He felt like there was a stone blocking his chest.

Now that Jiang Li revealed the answer, the stone was lifted and he went from being listless to clear-headed, as if he had prepared to die.

"I'm done asking questions. It's your turn to ask."

"You know I have questions?" Jiang Li was surprised.

"No one comes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. If you were just here to see me off, I would be grateful."

Jiang Li didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Where did you get the method of blood sacrifice for infants, and where did you learn that faith can dissipate the resentment of the infant?"

Jiang Yixing looked up at the damp ceiling of the cell, silent, as if lost in thought and struggling to find the right words.

"About three hundred and eighty years ago, a man in black came to me and raised me from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core with a flick of his finger. At that time, my life was about to end, and I was stuck in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, waiting to die. The man in black allowed me to live for another hundred years. Naturally, I was grateful to him."

"He also told me about the method of blood sacrifice for infants. I was eager to live again after death, and I was very interested in the method of blood sacrifice, but I was afraid that the resentment of the infant would expose my practice of demonic cultivation."

"The man in black saw my hesitation and told me that faith could dissipate resentment. Then he disappeared, and I never saw him again."

Jiang Li thought to himself that if he relied on faith, the impact on himself would be huge if Jiang Yixing's situation were to explode. Was this a conspiracy against him or just spreading demonic cultivation? But three hundred and eighty years ago, he was only a candidate for the Peoples Emperor. Did the man in black leave a hidden hand for all the candidates for the Peoples Emperor?

Jiang Li pondered and then disappeared without a trace, not knowing where he had drifted off to.

Jiang Yixing looked at the blue sky and flying birds outside the small iron window, tears streaming down his face.

Even if he had accepted it, he was still afraid of death...
