Counterattack System appeared when I m already At The Mahayana Realm - Chapter 443

Chapter 443: 442

“The Underworld is enigmatic, even us from the Immortal Realm don’t know its location. Fortunately, just a few days ago, a few colleagues accidentally discovered the Underworld during their exploration of the Void, and launched an attack, only for them to be swiftly defeated and fatally vanquished due to the formidable power within the Underworlds.”

“Before their death, these colleagues informed us of the Underworld’s location.”

“The Underworld holds the ultimate law of life and death, making a direct assault quite difficult. Moreover, the Underworld is teeming with Ghost Immortals, their numbers not to be underestimated. Hence, our superiors have always chosen indirect confrontation methods, reluctant to declare an open war against the Underworld.”

The Heavenly Immortals understood; the strategy is to increase the number of souls sent to the Underworld, thereby reducing the number that can reincarnate. Over time, the Underworld will be overwhelmed with unrest and strife. Then, the Immortal Realm will seize the opportunity to strike and conquer the Underworld.

Now, determining the location of the Underworld – does this mean that it’s time?

Ye Du had a different opinion: “An open attack on the Underworld is suicidal. In history, hundreds of Golden Immortals have perished in the attempt – and that’s just the documented cases. In the early history of the Immortal Realm, countless Golden Immortals may have perished. All these deaths are simply terrifying.”

“Even taking into consideration that most Golden Immortals do not possess enough Yin Virtues and cannot stay in the Underworld, and they have to be reincarnated, there should still be dozens of Golden Immortals residing in the Underworld. It is essentially suicide to challenge them with our current strength.”

After a brief pause, the ambassador continued: “And don’t forget that Dao Ancestor died as well.”

As these words were voiced out, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.

Dao Ancestor’s foolish attempt to defy the heavens, led to his death and fallout. This should have been a cause of joy.”

However, the crux of the matter is that after Dao Ancestor’s death, his soul will enter the Underworld.

An immortal who had solidified the Dao Fruit and reached the Mixed Yuan Wuji Realm, will be in the Underworld.

How can these immortals fight Dao Ancestor in the Underworld?

Minghuo the Immortal King shook his head, “Our attack on the Underworld is not the only one, there are many others assigned by the superiors. We are but one part of it. I let Du Ye present his ideas to take it into account and see if it can get the attention of our superiors.”

Ye Du bestowed a small smile, wondering: If they take his strategy up to the superiors, will the credit be attributed to him or to Minghuo the Immortal King?

…

“Are we also taking part in the Emperor’s candidacy?” Yu Yin and Bai Hongtu rushed to the Imperial Palace. Hearing Jiang Li’s words, their expressions turned rather peculiar.

Bai Hongtu even asked conscientiously: “Wouldn’t this be like big bullying the small?”

Yu Yin gave Bai Hongtu a surprised look; she didn’t expect him to have a sense of shame.

Jiang Li said matter-of-factly: “Of course not, since I am also participating in the Emperor’s candidacy.”

“Then no worries.”

Yu Yin felt like she’s suddenly been rendered blind.

“Us, two at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and one at the Mahayana Realm, participating in the Emperor’s candidacy? Do we have no shame?” Unable to restrain herself, Yu Yin spoke out. The two of them had no shame, but they shouldn’t drag her into their shamelessness.

“This is unfair. I am doing this for the consideration of the younger generation.”

Jiang Li spoke with a sincere tone: “Think about it, the thinking of the current young generation is rigid. They don’t know how to adapt. When they fight, they just naively fight, they do not even know how to scheme and strategize. They fall far short compared to us.”

Bai Hongtu deeply agreed.

“Isn’t that right? My silly disciple, Yu Youxian, can be tricked by me eight times a day.”

Yu Yin distanced herself from Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, refusing to be part of this ‘we’.

“How can this continue? If one of them inherits the position of Emperor, wouldn’t I have to teach them how to be Emperor? ”

“Education should be given in advance. As seniors, we need to set an example and teach them how to adapt and flexibly deal with different situations.”

Listening to Jiang Li, Yu Yin could not help but think back to the horrifying Emperor’s candidacy test.

The old Emperor took everyone to a peach forest, saying that going into this peach forest without going back, whoever picked the largest peach was the winner, and of course, the use of Divine Skills and magic spells was not allowed.

Everyone hesitated in the peach forest, glancing around, this peach seemed to be the biggest, another one seemed to be the biggest, and by the time they realized something, they had already walked through the peach forest. With no other choice, they could only pick a peach at the end of the forest.

The peach they were forced to pick was pitifully small.

They greatly regretted, they had seen too many peaches bigger than the one in their hand along the way. But they always thought there would be a bigger one ahead, there would be a bigger one ahead, so they didn’t pick.

Yu Yin had no hesitation, she picked a very large peach when she was halfway through the peach forest and walked out of the peach forest with ease.

Among the crowd, the peach picked by Yu Yin was the largest.

The old Emperor was satisfied. This contest tested the decision-making abilities of the Emperor’s candidates, the indecisive cannot become Emperor.

Fighting the extraterrestrial demons to the death, where could there be time for hesitation?

Hesitation meant death.

It seems now that Yu Yin indeed possesses the strongest decisive ability among the candidates.

Just as the old Emperor thought the test was over and was about to announce Yu Yin as the ultimate winner, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu hadn’t come out yet .

Very soon, Jiang Li found the old Emperor with the help of the Da Zhou official.

“It’s this group of people, stealing peaches and trying to grab the biggest peach.”

Jiang Li kindly let the owner of the peach orchard check if the biggest peach was missing.

The orchard owner was relieved after finding the biggest peach, saying the peach was not missing.

Naturally, Jiang Li bought the biggest peach.

Bai Hongtu followed closely. He bought the entire peach orchard. He could pick any peach he wanted.

The old Emperor was completely stunned.

Yu Yin always felt she was far from the flexible adaptation that Jiang Li talked about.

Maybe she cannot reach it in this lifetime.

Jiang Li continued: “In fact, there are other reasons.”

” Yu Yin, you think, if we participate in the current Emperor’s candidacy, won’t that mean we are also Emperor’s candidates? The three of us can continue to compete for superiority.”

Yu Yin’s eyes lit up, Jiang Li hit her soft spot.

Yu Yin and Bai Hongtu have the same pursuit — to defeat Jiang Li.

Although Yu Yin knew she was no match for Jiang Li and voluntarily withdrew from the Emperor’s candidacy, allowing Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu to continue fighting over the final choice, she deeply desired to defeat Jiang Li at least once.

Unfortunately, Jiang Li’s cultivation improved too quickly. When Jiang Li was already undefeated in the world and had experienced fifteen successful tribulations, she was still the femme fatale at the peak of the Combination Realm.

Even if she had now advanced to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and was wielding the omnipotent gourd, she knew she was not Jiang Li’s opponent.

“Good, I will also participate in the Emperor’s candidacy.” Yu Yin agreed.

She then asked: “But this is wrong, you are the Emperor, you are responsible for setting the exam questions. How could I possibly win against you?”

Jiang Li carelessly waved his hand, indicating that Yu Yin’s concerns were unnecessary: “I as a righteous person, how could I be both an examiner and a student? Those tests are set by Commander Liu.”

As for Commander Liu, Yu Yin was fairly trusting. After all, he was a commander who had followed several dozen Emperors, had extensive experience, and had interacted with The Commander many times when she was still a candidate for the Emperor. Indeed, he was an admirable senior.

Especially the fact that Commander Liu had stationed himself in the Imperial Palace without fail for five hundred years, his determination was evident.
