Counterattack System appeared when I m already At The Mahayana Realm - Chapter 484

Chapter 484: Chapter 483: Wait for me to cultivate to the peak of the Mahayana Realm before going to the Immortal Realm

“Without the system, how did you manage to defeat all those geniuses, especially Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin?”

“As long as I have hands, it’s enough.” Jiang Li said as a matter of fact.

If one becomes the Human Emperor reliant on the system, then who holds the title of the emperor – you or the system?

If one always relies on the system, it would be better to let Bai Hongtu or Yu Yin become the Human Emperor.

Jiang Li chose to become the Human Emperor, not in order to prove how strong he was, but because he believed that he would perform the role better than Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin.

“You rely too much on the system.” Jiang Li hammered his point home.

Jiang Li, the bystander, glared at him in resentment, thinking his conclusion was too arbitrary.

“I completed all the system tasks, do you know how difficult those tasks were? Defeating enemies two major levels beyond me, competing against Sect disciple without any foundation, achieving first place… I made it all happen. Those tasks were accomplished through my own wisdom and effort. How can you say that I’m relying on the system?”

Jiang Li sneered, “Wisdom and effort? How do you know those weren’t pre-calculated by the system?”

“My counter-attack system came five hundred years late. Its first task was to make me defeat Jiang Yixing, the second task was to make me defeat Yun Bo… Even if I had not completed the previous task, the system would release the next one.”

“Do you know what this implies? It implies that all tasks have been pre-set by the system.”

Bystander Jiang Li felt like he was struck by lightning. Thunder echoed in his mind. He had always thought that he didn’t rely too much on the system. Sometimes the system would assign seemingly impossible tasks which he could complete. Naturally, the credit should go to him.

But now, everything was said to be within the system’s plan.

The blow was considerable.

Jiang Li comforted, “Don’t be too disheartened. My system was simply late to activate. If it had been active when I crossed over, I would have made the same choices as you.”

“Really?” Bystander Jiang Li felt filled with hope again.

“Just take it as consolation. No need to take it too seriously.”

“…With your kind of mouth, how would you ever find a partner?”

“Don’t change the topic. Tell me what you did after obtaining the system. I’m a bit interested in that.”

“After crossing over, I was awarded a beginner’s gift package by the system, and it was this package that enabled me to defeat Jiang Yixing.”

“Later, I completed various tasks one after another, such as defeating Huayun Sect Yunbo, becoming the number one in the Mysterious Secret Realm trial… these are too trivial to be mentioned. Oh, by the way, there was a follow-up task in the Mysterious Secret Realm, to resurrect Dream Pure. It was during the process of resurrecting Dream Pure that we developed feelings for each other.”

“Resurrecting Dream Pure is a ‘not recommended for abandonment’ task?”

Bystander Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed, “Give me some face, I know what these types of tasks mean.”

“After leaving the Mysterious Secret Realm, I encountered my first special task, ‘Immortal Realm’s Mystery’, which required me to rank first in the examination of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family’s academy to unlock. What am I detailing all this out to you for? You just said that entering the Great Zhou Dynasty’s academy was hardly challenging, presumably in five hundred years, it should be no trouble for you to become the top scorer in the entrance examination.”

Jiang Li responded calmly, “Tell me more about this special task, maybe our ways of completion are not quite the same.”

An honest Jiang Li said, “Immortal realm’s mystery, as the name suggests, is about finding out the reason for the disappearance of the Immortal Realm.”

“It would be more accurate to call it the ‘Fear in the Heart of the Immortal’, rather than the ‘Immortal Realm’s Mystery’. I undertook many tasks, such as traveling to the Red Dust Fairyland to find the portrait of the Red Dust Fairy, and learning about the life of the Heavenly Dao. In the end, the Immortal told me the real situation of the Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Demon from outside the realm was fabricated by him. The moment the Heavenly Dao gained consciousness, the immortals became the Heavenly Demons from outside the realm.”

“So did you complete the task of ‘seeking the fragments of the stairway to immortality’?”

“Of course, I put in a lot of effort. I can’t even count how many worlds I’ve crossed, how many beauties I’ve met before I managed to piece together the complete stairway to immortality.”

“When I completed the three special tasks, ‘The Immortal Realm’s Mystery’, ‘Seeking the Fragments of the Stairway to Immortality’, ‘The Road of the Human Emperor’ and reached the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the system then issued the task of going to the Immortal Realm.”

“You didn’t go?”

Bystander Jiang Li scratched his head, “Heavenly Dao had gained consciousness, meaning all the inhabitants of the Immortal Realm are enemies. The Heavenly Immortals, the Golden Immortals were rampant, and even though I had the system, it all felt quite unsafe. Therefore, I thought it better to break through to the Mahayana realm before venturing into the Immortal Realm.”

“Three hundred years ago, I broke through to the Mahayana realm. This time I did not rely on the system.” Bystander Jiang Li emphasized, his breakthrough to the Mahayana realm was purely due to his efforts.

As he refused to go to the Immortal Realm, the system was stalled and did not release any other tasks.

“Immortal said that after cultivating to the peak of Mahayana, one can confront a Heavenly Immortal thirty times, and that has been my goal.”

“I was thinking of cultivating to the end of Mahayana before going to the Immortal Realm for safety.”

Jiang Li looked odd. There’s no end to Mahayana. “Did the Immortal only tell you that the Heavenly Demon from the outside realm as fabricated by him, but didn’t mention that Mahayana was also a fabrication?”

Bystander Jiang Li looked shocked, “What? Mahayana is fabricated?”

“That’s impossible. The cultivation novels I read before crossing over all mentioned a realm called Mahayana before ascension.”

Jiang Li had no choice but to explain to him all that happened nine thousand years ago.

Bystander Jiang Li felt completely unwell.

“I knew something was off. After the Red Dust Fairy was resurrected, I sparred with her. I had to suppress my power strenuously to make it a back-and-forth match.”

“I was wondering then – the Red Dust Fairy is a Heavenly Immortal, and as much as I could have advanced in Mahayana, I couldn’t possibly have grown stronger than a Heavenly Immortal. So it turns out Mahayana is a nonexistent realm.”

“I was worried that the Long Stay Immortal would find out about the resurrection of the Red Dust Fairy and come for her, so I didn’t tell him about it.”

Jiang Li had an idea, as if he realized something.

“Did you have any feeling when you saw the Red Dust Fairy?”

“How could I not? The Red Dust Fairy is so beautiful that no man could resist.”

“I mean, were you not driven mad by her charm?”

“Speaking of which, it is indeed strange. Even the Sect Leader of Clearing Desire was disturbed upon seeing the Red Dust Fairy. Yet I was fine.”

Bystander Jiang Li still had something unsaid- precisely because he was fine upon seeing the Red Dust Fairy, he later found himself in an intimate relationship with her.

Jiang Li showed a weird look on his face. There was only one reason to overcome the charm of the Red Dust Fairy, and that was to be as strong as, or stronger than the Heavenly Dao.

Was this guy as strong as the Heavenly Dao?

To answer whether this guy was strong, Jiang Li’s answer would be yes.

Bystander Jiang Li had an inadequate fighting consciousness and had been spoiled by the system, but his power was on a par with the Early Emperor.

However, after the early emperor broke through to the Mahayana realm, he cultivated for two hundred years. Bystander Jiang Li, after breaking through to Mahayana, diligently cultivated for three hundred years. Their strengths turned out to be on the same level. Jiang Li did not know what to say.

The power was linked to the realm, indicating that Bystander Jiang Li’s cultivation speed was significantly slower.
