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

"Alright, alright, look at me, I'm fine. Don't cry." Although she didn't know what had happened, Du Xiner still comforted Goddess Jing Xin in a soft voice.

However, Du Xiner's words were like a knife stabbing into Goddess Jing Xin's heart, causing her immense pain. She forced herself to perk up and introduced, "This is the current Peoples Emperor, Jiang Li."

Du Xiner covered her mouth in surprise, "So this is the person my senior sister often talks about..."

She seemed to recall something, winking and grinning mischievously at Goddess Jing Xin, who forced a smile in return.

"Peoples Emperor, I heard that you are unparalleled in martial arts, the number one in Jiuzhou, capable of anything, comparable to immortals. Is that true?" Du Xiner asked curiously.

"I once thought I was capable of anything, but now I realize that I can neither ascend to immortality nor reverse life and death. I'm just a mortal."

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Jiang Li helped Goddess Jing Xin up and asked, "The World of Mortals Pure Land is planning to send Golden Elixir cultivators down to the small towns for a few years of experience. Do you have any suggestions or opinions on this?"

Du Xiner's eyes lit up. This meant she could return to her sect. However, her excitement quickly faded. Now that she could no longer progress, returning to the sect would be a waste of resources. It would be better to stay here.

"I... I'm fine here."

"Alright, you are dedicated to your duty and ask for nothing more. After descending the mountain, you will continue to cultivate diligently. I will tell Daoist Qingyu the truth."

"Eh, why is that?" Du Xiner was upset and glared at Jiang Li, "And why is the Peoples Emperor in charge of our sect's affairs?"

If the sect leader knew about her attitude, she would definitely be praised and replaced by a more talented senior sister. Wouldn't that be a waste of their time?

"Your sect's management is not up to par, I'm just giving Daoist Qingyu some advice." Seeing that Du Xiner still had something to say, Jiang Li subtly changed the subject, "Enough about that, we didn't see Yuan Ling in Shanghe Town. Where did she go?"

"Um—I'm not sure. Recently, Senior Sister Yuan Ling often leaves Shanghe Town for several months at a time. But she will be back for the autumn harvest, which is in a few days."

Since they couldn't find Yuan Ling, the two decided to stay in Xiahe Town and keep Du Xiner company.

...

Jiang Li took out a communication talisman and called Zhang Konghu, "Konghu, go to the southern border and find the Gu people. Investigate what cultivation level is needed to create a corpse Gu that can make the dead move freely and unaware of their own death."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Konghu immediately set off for the southern border, ignoring the pleas of Dream Jiang Emperor and Wei Emperor to finish his meal first.

...

A few days passed quickly. Du Xiner felt incredibly happy. She had Goddess Jing Xin and Jiang Peoples Emperor to keep her company, teach her cultivation, explain cultivation knowledge, and share rumors and anecdotes about Jiuzhou.

She also told Jiang Peoples Emperor about her stagnation in cultivation. He just patted her head and told her it was normal, that cultivation couldn't be rushed, and it would get better over time. He had also experienced this before.

But Du Xiner didn't see the gloom in Jiang Li's eyes.

How could a corpse cultivation possibly improve one's cultivation?

"Sister Xiner, we need to check on the other towns, it's time for us to leave."

Goddess Jing Xin sensed that Yuan Ling had finally returned. A rare fierceness flashed in her eyes, but it was so fleeting that Du Xiner didn't notice.

Goddess Jing Xin and Jiang Li flew to Shanghe Town in perfect sync, pinning a drunken Yuan Ling to the ground.

"Who are you! How dare you touch me in our World of Mortals Pure Land... Oh, it's Sister Jing Xin."

At first, Yuan Ling was quite fierce due to her drunkenness, but she immediately sobered up when she realized it was Goddess Jing Xin.

Goddess Jing Xin didn't say a word, she dragged Yuan Ling to an empty room and threw her into a corner. The whole process was extremely rough, completely disregarding her usual dignified and generous image.

Yuan Ling, a member of the Gu tribe, still liked to adorn herself with silver earrings and headpieces after leaving her clan. Her clothes were quite revealing, easily attracting men's interest.

She was in pain from Goddess Jing Xin's rough handling, her silver ornaments were disheveled, and her revealing clothes were even more torn, but she didn't dare to utter a word.@@novelbin@@

Yuan Ling had never seen Goddess Jing Xin so angry.

Jiang Li silently followed behind her, allowing Goddess Jing Xin to vent her anger. This incident had made Jiang Li angry, but Goddess Jing Xin was even angrier.

Two entire towns in the World of Mortals Pure Land had turned into dead zones. She considered this her dereliction of duty!

A serious dereliction of duty!

"Speak, where have you been? Why haven't you returned for months!"

"There's nothing here, just a bunch of mortals who know how to farm. I went to the Dream Jiang Dynasty for a while." Yuan Ling answered honestly, then quickly added, "But I always come back for the autumn harvest. Look, I've always handed in the spirit grains on time and according to plan, never late."

Goddess Jing Xin felt as if there was a fire in her chest that she wanted to vent but couldn't.

Yes, it was precisely because there had never been a problem with the spirit grains that no one had come to check.

It would have been better if there had been a problem with the spirit grains, then they could have discovered the problem with these two towns!

"Why is there not a single living person in Shanghe Town and Xiahe Town!" Goddess Jing Xin gritted her teeth and asked this question. Her tone was not so much a question as a scolding.

Yuan Ling was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She initially thought that Goddess Jing Xin was angry because she had left her post without permission, and assumed that the matter involving the use of corpses had been forgotten.

"Sis... Sister, what are you talking about..."

"Answer me!" Goddess Jing Xin's stern question made Yuan Ling's heart skip a beat.

With a stiff upper lip, she stuttered out an explanation, "I... I didn't want to either, but I needed spirit stones to enjoy myself in the Dream Jiang Dynasty. So, I took a few spirit stones that were meant for purchasing spirit grains, just a little... Those stubborn villagers complained that I gave them too few spirit stones and refused to work. I was so angry at the time that I killed the few who were leading the protest..."

"Then, someone threatened to report to the sect. I panicked and... and killed them all. To prevent the sect from finding out, I used corpse bugs to control their dantian, allowing them to continue growing spirit grains. Sister, look, if they grow spirit grains, we won't have to give them spirit stones in the future. Isn't that great?"

What Yuan Ling didn't mention was that after using the corpses to nurture the corpse bugs, the sect would still give her spirit stones to purchase spirit grains. Of course, she wouldn't give the spirit grains to a bunch of dead people, but instead spent them all on her pleasures in the Dream Jiang Dynasty.

"What about Xiahe Town! Du Xin'er is your junior sister, how could you do this to her!"

With a sob in her voice, Yuan Ling said, "I had no choice, Xiahe Town is too close to here. I was afraid that junior sister Du Xin'er would discover something, so I killed her too, and incidentally killed all the people in Xiahe Town."

Yuan Ling cried, "Sister, you are magnanimous, please forgive me this time. I didn't do it on purpose!"

Goddess Jing Xin said indifferently, "Do you know that you are already dead."

In the eyes of Goddess Jing Xin and Jiang Li, Yuan Ling was also a corpse controlled by corpse bugs, but she was completely unaware of it!
