Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm
Chapter 687: Simply put, the Immortal Realm is gone“Whether or not Jiang Li can resolve the issue of Heavenly Dao, if he can’t, I’ll step in for him.” Bai Hongtu’s words resonated with audacious confidence.
Of course, he had this confidence. Not counting Jiang Li, he himself was the strongest in Jiuzhou.
“Oh? Really? I’d like to see how Sect Master Bai would replace am.” Jiang Li’s voice, ethereal as a specter, rang out from behind Bai Hongtu, startling him into holding up his hands in surrender.
“Just kidding, Brother Jiang!”
Twisting his head around, Bai Hongtu saw that it was Dong Zhongshu’s grandchild imitating Jiang Li’s speech.
“Dong Zhongshu, you son of…” Irritated, Bai Hongtu was ready to show Dong Zhongshu how one must not provoke a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator.
From behind Bai Hongtu, Jiang Li’s voice sounded again. “Sect Master Bai wants to confront the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm? I, as the Human Emperor, fully support this.”
Bai Hongtu sneered: “Such juvenile tricks won’t fool me anymore. Even if you all impersonate Jiang Li, or even if the real Jiang Li showed up, I’ll still dare to challenge heaven… Oh, it’s the real Jiang Li.”
Seeing the real Jiang Li standing in the flesh, Bai Hongtu turned around.
There was a scholarly and refined Confucian scholar standing next to Jiang Li.The scholar sighed in admiration, “Jiuzhou truly is extraordinary, to have such outstanding individuals who aren’t afraid of the Heavenly Dao or powerful authorities.”
“Confucian Sage!” Dong Zhongshu lost all composure, exclaiming with shock.
The others also stood up abruptly, staring at the Confucian scholar in disbelief.
Statues and paintings of the Confucian Sage were frequently placed at the entrance and walls of the academy, so the cultivators of Jiuzhou were very familiar with his image.
“Apprentice pays his respects to the Confucian Sage,” Dong Zhongshu paid his respects, his body trembling with emotion.
“Apprentice? Who are your sect’s elders?”
“In response to the Sage, I am a descendant of Dong Zhongshu, who was your registered disciple.”
The Confucian Sage’s face was odd. “So Dong Zhongshu introduced himself to you all in this way?”
“Yes.”
“Is there a problem?” Jiang Li was also curious. Everyone in Jiuzhou knew that the founder of Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu, was a registered disciple of the Confucian Sage.
The Confucian Sage explained: “Dong Zhongshu indeed was my disciple, but he wasn’t registered. His claim of being a registered disciple is not wrong either.”
“After all, I remember his name, and indeed, he was my discipline.”
Jiang Li: “…”
This was the first time he had heard this interpretation of being a registered disciple.
In this context, would Bai Hongtu count as a registered friend?
Jiang Li started to doubt the lineage of Jiuzhou’s sects – everyone claimed illustrious heritage, but he wondered how much of it was true.
At the very least, the origin of the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd was false. The Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty publically claimed that it was a gift from the Dao Ancestor to the First Generation Tianyuan Emperor, while in fact, it was purchased by the First Tianyuan Emperor at a price three times the market rate.
“May I ask, Human Emperor, with the Confucian Sage here… does that mean the current situation with the Immortal Realm…” Someone asked hesitantly, questioning what everyone else wanted to know.
Although everyone had faith in Jiang Li’s ability and believed he wouldn’t lose against the Immortal Realm, when faced with reality, it still felt like a tall tale to them.
However, judging by both the Human Emperor’s expression and the appearance of the Confucian Sage, it seemed rather likely.
“Since everyone is here, call over Elder Huang Changcun too. There are some matters I want to discuss.”
Ji Zhi spoke up: “I knew you would say that. I’ve already sent for the elder. By my calculations, he should be arriving soon.”
jJi Zhi looked at Jiang Li, his face beaming with joy.
Ever since reaching the Body Integration Realm, he no longer feared Jiang Li.
With his current mastery of the Dao of Time, he could travel back to five hundred years ago at any time and fight a deathmatch with the then weaker Jiang Li.
Now, whether he wanted to fight or not entirely depended on his mood.
Mid-conversation, an ancient sounding laughter came from outside the hall.
“To think that even at this age, so many people care about me, even calling me to meetings.”
“Confucian, Confucian Sage?!” As soon as Elder Huang Changcun entered the hall, he noticed the very conspicuous Confucian Sage.
“I remember that Dao Ancestor mentioned that his youngest disciple is named… Huang Changcun?”
“Jiang the Human Emperor introduced you to me. You’ve established a new stage in cultivation. Truly impressive.” The Confucian Sage didn’t know how the stage of Body Integration Realm came to be. He only knew Huang Changcun mentioned a new stage named Body Integration Realm, and then Jiang Li achieved it.
By common reasoning, Huang Changcun would be considered as Jiang Li’s guide, his teacher. Huang Changcun was indeed very remarkable.
So, the Confucian Sage expressed his admiration for the elder from the bottom of his heart.
However, upon hearing it, Huang Changcun found it somewhat strange. After coughing to clear his throat, he changed the subject: “Jiang Li, why were we all summoned here?”
Meanwhile, Ji Zhi had already ordered the ceremony department to arrange the table in a circular pattern, in accordance with the layout used for discussions at the Imperial Palace.
The people from the ceremony department, upon seeing the Confucian Sage, were so frightened they nearly pulled out their hair. How were they supposed to entertain the Sage and the Primordial Chaos Immortal who were visiting the Zhou Dynasty?
“In short, the Immortal Realm is gone now. All the immortals have disappeared along with the Heavenly Dao.”
Right at the start, Jiang Li dropped the bombshell that stunned everyone into a momentary loss of thought.
What was the process?
The Heavenly Dao was the ultimate goal of all beings striving for enlightenment and cultivation. And you’re saying it’s just gone?
And what about the Immortal Realm? We’ve just established a ladder to immortality, and now you’re saying it’s gone?
Isn’t it the same as finally finding the key to your house, only to discover that you’ve already moved?
One question after another surfaced in everyone’s mind. However, with so many things they wanted to say, they didn’t know where to start.
“I won’t go into the details of the actual battle. It was just a punch here, a smack there, nothing interesting.”
Jiang Li waved his hand dismissively, trivializing the battle process against the Heavenly Dao with onomatopoeic words. The Confucian Sage twitched involuntarily at the corners of his eyes.
So, what they thought was an incredibly dangerous battle, where one wrong move could cost them their lives, was just ‘this much’ to Jiang Li?
“Now that the Heavenly Dao has disappeared, no more merit will be generated, and no merit can be converted into immortal power. But you don’t need to worry about becoming an immortal. The ladder to immortality can convert spiritual energy into immortal power, there’s no need to go to the Immortal Realm and use merit.”
The Confucian Sage replied: “Although I am not as familiar with the Immortal Realm’s cultivation methods as Dao Ancestor, I can still recall around eighty percent of the Immortal Realm’s cultivation methods and scriptures. I can offer you guys immortal power and immortal techniques.”
“I can teach Jiuzhou how to breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal realms.”
The Confucian Sage’s words left everyone startled and flattered. The condescending Sage actually offering to provide them with cultivation techniques and guide them was a delightful surprise.
Jiang Li looked at everyone speechlessly. What? I, a Body Integration Stage cultivator, think about you guys every day, why don’t I see you all looking flattered?
“The Immortal Realm was destroyed due to deep reasons involving a rule called the Destruction Rule.”
“In order to counter the Destruction Rule, there are two methods.”
Jiang Li went into detail about the two methods proposed by the Heavenly Dao and Emperor Shun, omitting the fact that he would go to the realm of possibilities.
The third method was uncertain, and mentioning it could lead everyone to think that the situation wasn’t severe since Jiang, the Human Emperor was there.
Under this mindset, it wouldn’t be beneficial to maintain order.
