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

"Senior Zhang, how about we just let this go?" Yuan Wuxing tentatively asked, shrinking his neck.

"Are you scared?"

"Who would be afraid of those Jiang family beasts? Just thinking about those corpses fills me with rage," Yuan Wuxing said, his neck stiffening and veins bulging on his forehead, but he quickly deflated.

"However, if we truly affect the faith in the People's Emperor, and thereby the fight against the extraterritorial demons, we would be eternal sinners."

The death of hundreds of infants was indeed significant, but the People's Emperor guarding the Nine Provinces was an even greater matter. If Yuan Wuxing had to choose, he would likely choose the latter.

Jiang Li chuckled, "You're overthinking it. My sect leader once told me that the current People's Emperor is exceptionally talented, far surpassing his predecessors. The power of faith is a nice addition for Jiang Peoples Emperor, but whether it's there or not doesn't really matter."

Yuan Wuxing was immediately relieved.

What Jiang Li didn't mention was that each time he crossed a lightning tribulation, he grew stronger. After his fourth tribulation, the power of faith became useless to him. One hundred and sixty years ago, he forged a bronze cauldron and placed it in the People's Emperor Hall, so all the faith from the Nine Provinces wouldn't be added to him but would instead be stored in the cauldron for the next People's Emperor.

...

"System."

In the dead of night, Jiang Li summoned the system interface.

[Congratulations to the host for enduring arduous cultivation and fierce battles, defeating Jiang Yixing. Would you like to settle the rewards?]

Jiang Li's mouth twitched, wanting to ask when this "arduous cultivation and fierce battles" happened.

Suppressing the urge to complain, Jiang Li said, "Settle the rewards."

A pure energy descended from the void, pouring into Jiang Li's body.

"This energy..."

Jiang Li showed a surprised expression, "...isn't even as much as I generate in a single breath. Oh, this is for the Qi Refining stage. Never mind then."

According to Jiang Li's estimation, if he could have used this energy back then, he would have reached the "perfect" realm during Foundation Establishment, a treatment reserved for core disciples of major sects, with a much more robust foundation than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, and combat power several levels higher.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

"Good stuff," Jiang Li praised, then expelled the energy from his body.

As if joking, who would refine an unknown source of energy?

Next, a bamboo scroll tied with a thin red string fell from the void, named "Dragon Tiger Arhat Strength," a body refining technique.

According to the technique's introduction, as cultivation deepens, it gradually changes the cultivator's blood. When emotions run high, it bursts forth with unparalleled power. The cultivation levels are divided by animal strength, such as the strength of an ox, tiger, elephant, flood dragon, and dragon. The standard for minor success is the strength of a tiger, for moderate success the strength of a dragon, and for major success, the integration of dragon and tiger strength, allowing one to wrestle with a true dragon in extreme anger, extremely domineering.

After reading the introduction in two minutes and a brief deduction in three, Jiang Li concluded: a waste of his five minutes.

This body refining technique is strong, a treasure even for those in the Divine Transformation stage.

However, it was useless to Jiang Li.

Currently, the Four Seas Dragon Clan is popularizing a technique called "Jiang Li People's Emperor Strength," rumored to be compiled by the Four Seas Dragon Kings themselves. When cultivated to perfection, it can contend with one hand of People's Emperor Jiang Li.

From the results, Jiang Li has yet to see a dragon clan member who can defeat even one of his hands.

As for other things like pills with pill clouds and pill fragrance, or mid-grade spiritual swords, Jiang Li couldn't muster any interest.

He specifically set aside a space in his storage ring for the system, placing these pills, swords, and body refining techniques in a pile, labeling them:

Useless Stuff from the System 2

The previous beginner's gift pack was naturally 1.

[New task issued: After joining the Hua Yun Sect, the grandson of the First Elder, Yun Bo, believes your five-element spiritual roots lower the sect's average spiritual root level, and constantly makes things difficult for you. Please defeat him with overwhelming strength.]

[This task can be abandoned]

[Task reward: one opportunity for sudden enlightenment, a mysterious map fragment, and a high-grade spiritual weapon of any style (can be upgraded)]

This time, Jiang Li quickly remembered who Yun Bo was.

Hua Yun Sect is a small sect near Qingcheng, with a late Golden Elixir stage sect leader and five Golden Elixir elders. At that time, Jiang Li's Heavenly Spirit Root was hidden, and externally he only showed the worst five-element spiritual roots. No sect wanted to take him in. Jiang Li observed the shopping list of Hua Yun Sect disciples going down the mountain and deduced that the sect was financially strained. He seized the opportunity to speak with the sect leader, analyzed the local economic situation, and suggested ways to make money. The sect leader was amazed and, against all opposition, put Jiang Li in charge of finances, under his supervision.

Jiang Li did not disappoint, turning Hua Yun Sect's losses around, acquiring several small sects, and eventually gaining the sect's core techniques and the Taishang Elder's cultivation guidance before traveling the Great Zhou again.

During this period, Yun Bo formed cliques to bully newcomers. Jiang Li discussed with the First Elder, who pretended to die, scattering those who followed Yun Bo. After experiencing the coldness of the world, Yun Bo finally understood that cultivation was most important and changed his ways, cultivating diligently.

"Three hundred years ago, when I returned to Hua Yun Sect, Yun Bo had already reached the Elemental Infant stage. With the few longevity pills I gave him, living until now shouldn't be a problem."

Jiang Li thought it best not to abandon this task.

The mysterious map fragment intrigued him.

[New function unlocked: Shop]

Jiang Li was delighted, finally an interesting function. He summoned the shop, and a light screen appeared in his mind like a computer screen, with neatly arranged products in abundance.

Focusing his consciousness on a product, its description would appear on the light screen.

However, Jiang Li was soon somewhat disappointed. The products displayed on the light screen were all from their world, with no mobile phones, computers, nuclear bombs, or satellites from Jiang Li's previous life, nor any celestial realm specialties.

He didn't care much about phones, but he wanted to experience what it felt like to withstand a nuclear bomb with his body.

"System, are there no products from other worlds?"

[Please travel to other worlds first]

Jiang Li pouted, yet another useless function. If he could go elsewhere, why would he need this system?

"System, sort by the number of source points needed, from highest to lowest."

The number of products on the light screen quickly changed, with their People's Emperor Hall's techniques at the forefront, followed by the Taoist sect's treasure, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, and then other sects' and imperial city's treasured items, Tribulation Crossing stage puppets, Immortal notes, and the like.

Though these items were good, Jiang Li either had used them or had no use for them.

For example, during the fight against extraterritorial demons, the Taoist sect lent Jiang Li the Taiji Heavenly Seal. After using it a few times, Jiang Li found his own weapon more handy and returned the seal to the Taoist sect. As for the Tribulation Crossing stage puppets, Jiang Li had no use for them. As a dignified Mahayana stage cultivator, what would he need a Tribulation Crossing stage puppet for? And as for Immortal notes, he had already read them in exchange for sharing his cultivation experience.@@novelbin@@

Moreover, Jiang Li suspected these items weren't appearing out of thin air but were stolen from the sects.
