Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

The Initiate Emperor had never thought that the system’s tasks could be accomplished in this way. The feeling of achieving goals through the use of wisdom was quite pleasurable.

As the most powerful figure, his strength was not simply limited to physical prowess. Intelligence was also crucial.

Jiang Li was quite pleased with the results of his guidance. He hoped the Initiate Emperor would realize that having power doesn’t mean that it should be used continuously.

The Initiate Emperor was a complex man, his achievements far outweighed his wrongdoings. If calculated by virtue, although his virtue did not surpass that of Jiang Li and the sages, the amount was quite considerable.

According to the standards of the Underworld, the Initiate Emperor was good.

However, those innocents who had been killed by the Initiate Emperor would undoubtedly disagree with the calculative methods of the Underworld.

...

Just as Jiang Li respected the independence of each world, he also respected the independence of the Parallel World.

If this world did not have the Initiate Emperor, and the order established by the Emperor, chaos would reign.

The Initiate Emperor had the ability to determine the state of affairs, and he feared no conspiracy or scheme.

If it was Liutong or Bai Hongtu who were presiding over Jiuzhou, although they had enough prestige and means, they simply didn’t possess enough power.

Before encountering the Initiate Emperor, Jiang Li had realized during his inspection of Jiuzhou that the Emperor was necessary; such was the characteristic of this world.

If he was to send the Initiate Emperor to the Underworld, then the only option would be to change him, and make him no longer bloodthirsty.

The Initiate Emperor was counting the system rewards. He couldn’t learn the Puppet Refining Method. It was useless.

One ton of blue steel, to enhance the puppets, was unnecessary.

A copy of the Dragon Clan’s Body Refining Technique? After practicing, his body would become as frail as the Dragon Clan’s?

The rewards from the system were, as always, worthless.

“What exactly is the system?” the Initiate Emperor asked.

“I don’t know. Our Heavenly Dao said it felt familiar after seeing the system, but it was not created by him.” Jiang Li also didn’t know where the system originated.

“Could it be the Heavenly Dao from the Parallel World?” The Initiate Emperor asked, feeling it was very likely.

“I don’t think so.” Jiang Li said, “The system can help me create the Ascension Ladder and find the Immortal Realm. Why would the Heavenly Dao of the Parallel World help me?”

“Wait, you found the Immortal Realm using the system?” The Initiate Emperor took notice of something Jiang Li hadn’t mentioned.

“The system rewarded the Ascension Ladder and with one step I reached the Immortal Realm.” Jiang Li didn’t intend to hide anymore.

“How did you do it?”

“I forced the system to complete the task through the Enforcement of Verbal Commandments. It was taught to me by our Yu Yin.”@@novelbin@@

“Why didn’t Yu Yin teach me…” His voice rose at the beginning of the sentence, then as if he realized something, his tone gradually lowered. By the time he said “me,” his voice was barely audible.

“The Yu Yin in your world was not confined by me in the Imperial Palace, right? She had different experiences.”

Jiang Li nodded.

The Initiate Emperor was a smart man. Jiang Li had previously mentioned giving Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin opportunities to develop, which could yield unexpected gains.

Now he realized that this was what Jiang Li meant.

If Yu Yin had not been in the Imperial Palace, she would have already learned the Enforcement of Verbal Commandments and reduced the time to find the Immortal Realm significantly.

The Initiate Emperor was a proud and arrogant man; he believed his decisions were always right and rarely admitted mistakes.

This time, he felt he was wrong.

“Come, I’ll use the system to take you to the Immortal Realm.” Seeing the Initiate Emperor showing remorse, Jiang Li decided not to taunt him anymore.

Jiang Li enforced the Verbal Commandments: “Complete the special task ‘Search for the shards of the Ascension Ladder’.”

The Initiate Emperor heard three prompt sounds of task completion by his ear, and three golden shards fell into his hand. They combined with the shards he already had to form a complete Ascension Ladder.

The golden ladder was small and exquisite, a crystallization of wisdom in the way of immortality, containing infinite mysteries.

The Initiate Emperor finally saw the Ascension Ladder he had been longing for.

“Uninstall the system.”

A fluctuation appeared in the space within the Initiate Emperor’s body, as if his location was embedded with another dimension.

This was where the system resided.

A milky white halo jumped out of the fluctuating space, with various Dao patterns interweaving, even more complex than the Ascension Ladder.

The halo seemed gaseous yet solid, and with a crisp cracking sound, the halo split into several pieces. With continuous popping sounds like a chain reaction, the halo crumbled into dust and vanished completely.

The Initiate Emperor’s system was gone.

Being rid of the annoying system was a joyous affair, and the Initiate Emperor decided to celebrate.

“Now, it’s time to settle the score in the Immortal Realm.”

Jiang Li was also ready to take a long-awaited trip to the Immortal Realm:”Hmm?”

Jiang Li looked up, gazing at the skyline.

“What happened?” The Initiate Emperor also noticed something and looked up at the sky.

A vast shadow descended, colliding with the world of Jiuzhou. Space shook, the earth trembled, and countless immortal power poured into Jiuzhou.

“Hold.” Jiang Li enforced the Verbal Commandments to stabilize the space.

The Initiate Emperor initially wanted to step in to stabilize the space, but seeing Jiang Li had already made a move, he withdrew reluctantly.

“So this is the Jiuzhou of that Initiate Emperor? Haha, how pathetically small.”

A voice echoed in the ears of the people of Jiuzhou, grand and powerful, as if possessing boundless strength.

This voice was not unfamiliar to Jiang Li and the Initiate Emperor; it was the voice of Respected God-hidden.

“Immortal Realm, it’s the Immortal Realm!” A cultivator inhaled the Immortal power pouring into Jiuzhou, recognizing the identity of the other world.

At the gap in Jiuzhou, countless figures stood, imbued with immense power. Each move they made resonated with an air of immortality, and even a soft whisper from them was like a clear spring, refreshing to the soul.

Each figure represented the pinnacle of a cultivation method, something the future generations would find hard to surpass.

“Look, those are the Immortals!” The identities of these lofty figures were not hard to recognize. They were indeed the Immortals.

A field of Immortals and Buddhas, shimmering in the distance. Just standing there, they were imposing and powerful.

Jiang Li and the Initiate Emperor realized what happened: Respected God-hidden had actually used the Immortal Realm to collide with Jiuzhou!

“Where is the Initiate Emperor? Let me see how you could defeat me this time after forcing me to escape so disgracefully!” Respected God-hidden led the group of Immortals, followed by the Ancestors.

The Ancestors did not attack the Underworld. Or perhaps, after Respected God-hidden took the Immortal Realm and fled, He urgently recalled the Ancestors that were in the River of Time.

Respected God-hidden descended upon Jiuzhou, looking to erase the humiliation of the past.

He had the confidence to retaliate against the Initiate Emperor, after all, He was not alone; another version of Him was present too.

“I didn’t expect the Jiang Li of your world to be this strong,” said the other Respected God-hidden with a smile. After all, in his world, Jiang Li was only a new Immortal Emperor, merely on the level of the Immortal of the Primordial Chaos, and not much of a threat.

There were two Respected God-hiddens!

Jiang Li noticed that this was not the copy-like form as seen in the Establishment of the Three Pure Lands. It was the bona fide other Respected God-hidden!

Respected God-hidden held the winning ticket. Even if the Initiate Emperor was on par with him, how much growth could the Emperor make in a year’s time?

On the other hand, the other version of Him from a parallel world came to help; who would help clear obstacles.

With both of them in combat, the fighting strength would double. What could the Initiate Emperor use to fight against Him?

Furthermore, this was Jiuzhou, this was so-called Initiate Emperor’s base. He didn’t believe the Initiate Emperor could protect everyone.

The advantage was His!
