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

Chapter 358: Chapter 357: New Special Task

The Mount Heshan stone’s attacks are all-encompassing – every single object under the sky can be hit, it can surely hit its target.

The defense function of the Four Seas Dragon Ball may as well not exist to it.

The Four Seas Dragon Ball has a strong defensive ability but it can’t block all attacks.

The aspects the Mount Heshan stone deals with, in terms of crafting methods, excel those of the Four Seas Dragon Ball.

The Sky Desolate Halberd is indestructible. The certainty of the Mount Heshan stone’s attacks hitting their marks is no use against it. It’s the natural nemesis of the stone – it’s logical for the two to aspire to outdo one another.

Logically, the Four Seas Dragon Ball should be able to counter the Sky Desolate Halberd. Once the Dragon Ball develops intelligence, attacks from those below the Immortal level can’t break its defense.

None could break the Dragon Ball’s defense with the Sky Desolate Halberd during the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

But who would have thought that Jiang Li is the owner of the Sky Desolate Halberd.

When Jiang Li wields the halberd, no amount of defense from the Dragon Ball will be of any use.

“Did you come here because you’re interested in someone’s daughter?”

Lord Mo’s suspicions were not unfounded. Jiang Li was a gentleman and visiting a festival mostly attended by female cultivators would be out of character unless he had his eye on one of them.

Only then could his action be explained.

Jiang Li shook his head, “I’m just worried about Pure Heart.”

Jiang Li’s words weren’t wrong. Since the Red Dust Fairy was coming, Saint Girl Pure Heart would definitely follow. Jiang Li came to Penglai Fairy Island out of concern she wouldn’t be able to handle the Red Dust Fairy.

Lord Mo looked enlightened. She never imagined this day would come for Jiang Li.

Yu Yin noticed the look on Lord Mo’s face and realized she’d misunderstood.

“Please don’t talk about my visit here.”

“Of course, we won’t. You’re not objecting to our activity themed around you, it’s already very gracious of you. Why would we reveal your matters?”

Jiang Li chuckled, “This activity is quite good, it helps me better understand myself.”

The Q&A session gradually heated up, with all sorts of tricky questions popping up. Jiang Li found he could only answer about 10% of them.

Saint Girl Pure Heart, coming from behind, ranked first. The cheating Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit got second place, Dream Yu Yu came third, and Happy Buddha ranked fourth.

“Congratulations on your reward.” Lord Mo presented the prizes.

“Could you say that again?” Saint Girl Pure Heart asked.

Lord Mo did not understand but did as asked, “Congratulations on your reward.”

Saint Girl Pure Heart was grinning from ear to ear.

Lord Mo’s words sounded a lot like “Congratulations, you got Jiang Li”.

Saint Girl Pure Heart received the book “The Unknown Jiang Emperor” like a treasured prize. As for the cultivation insights of a six-thousand-year Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, she just put them away, planning to look at it after she had read the other book.

Those who ranked after the second place got participation prizes, which were the same water cups that Jiang Li used.

Jiang Li himself couldn’t remember using that water cup.

He had been fasting for over four hundred years, not needing to drink water. Even on the rare occasions when he indulged in food, there was no need to have a specific water cup ready.

This water cup was probably from before his fasting period.

“I didn’t think you knew the answers to all those questions.” Jiang Li also congratulated Saint Girl Pure Heart.

Looking shy, Saint Girl Pure Heart didn’t say anything but hid her blush behind her book.

“Did you enjoy the event, Fairy?”

“Hmm.”

Jiang Li could sense Red Dust Fairy’s joy even from behind the veil.

Red Dust Fairy really was happy. While many envied the serene lifestyle of the Red Dust Sacred Land for female cultivators, she found the outside world more exciting. Although the Red Dust Sacred Land was wonderful, it lacked vibrancy and life was somewhat monotonous.

“As long as Fairy had fun.” Jiang Li escorted Red Dust Fairy and Saint Girl Pure Heart back to the Red Dust Sacred Land.

Yu Yin returned to the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, kicked the wishful gourd out of the sleeping quarters, shut the door, took out the book she purchased from the bookstall and cherished the moment.

Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit returned to the White Marsh Emperor Dynasty.

“Disgraceful, not able to find the answers.”

“Disgraceful, can’t even cheat to win.”

“Don’t claim to be me in the future.”

“Don’t claim to be me in the future.”

Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit and the real White Snow Spirit blamed each other.

“Blaming me? There were some questions obviously generated by Yu Yin, like what Jiang Li’s sleeping posture is. Who would know that, he’s not Zhang Konghu, he hasn’t slept in hundreds of years.”

“Probably only Yu Yin, Bai Hongtu, Ji Zhi, and Saint Girl Pure Heart would know.”

[Task Announced: You see a cultivator bully others with his power, riding a horse carriage through the market, kidnapping a girl, collecting taxes for hundreds of years in advance, causing severe hardship for the people. A noodle stall at the side of the road is knocked over, nearly hitting an old man eating there. You step in to save the old man, getting into a conflict with the tyrannical cultivator. What you don’t know is, this old man is actually the current Human Emperor, Lu Yu.]

[Please gain the Human Emperor’s approval.]

[This task can be forfeited.]

[Task Reward: Unlock a special task.]

Jiang Li had an impression of the task description: according to the system, the tyrannical cultivator should be Ye Ming, the son of the City Lord of Tianxing City from the Martial Emperor Dynasty.

Ye Ming, backed by his Divinity Transformation Stage father, wreaked havoc in Tianxing City, regarding human lives as worthless.

The system seems to want Jiang Li to deal with Ye Ming and gain Lu Yu’s favor.

However, what differs from the system’s description is, he had already met Lu Yu before this.

The noodle stall was an old brand with great taste. At the time, Jiang Li was eating noodles at the roadside. Coincidentally, Lu Yu was also there. Jiang Li even kindly shared some garlic with Lu Yu.

When the city lord’s son Ye Ming rode his horse carriage recklessly through the city, without Jiang Li needing to take action, Lu Yu directly tied both Ye Ming and his father up to deal with later.

After some investigation, it turned out that both Ye Ming and his father were notorious. Enraged, Lu Yu killed both on the spot.

In this incident, all Jiang Li did was serve tea and water to Lu Yu to calm him down.

Lu Yu thought that Jiang Li was a good kid.

This misunderstanding continued until Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu attended the Human Emperor candidate test together.

At that time, Lu Yu was completely taken aback. Commander Liu thought the cultivation technique from Commander Huang had become strong enough to affect those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

“Unlock a special task?” This was the third time Jiang Li saw a special task.

The first special task was “Mystery of the Immortal Realm,” which he failed because he didn’t complete the prerequisite tasks.

The second was “Looking for the Pieces of the Immortal Ascendance Ladder,” which he is still working on.

He was curious about this third special task.

Jiang Li took out a small mirror, “You’re so amazing.”

Earning the current Human Emperor’s approval was simpler for Jiang Li than defeating a Heavenly Demon.

[Task complete.]

[Unlocking special task: Path of the Human Emperor.]

[This task can help the host rise against all odds, become the Human Emperor, who is respected by thousands.]

Jiang Li: “What is my status?”

[The current Human Emperor.]

“What can the special task of the Path of the Human Emperor do?”

[Help the host become the Human Emperor.]

“What is my status?”

[The current Human Emperor.]

“What can the special task of the Path of the Human Emperor do?”

[Help the host become the Human Emperor.]

“My status…”

[The current Human Emperor, help the host become the Human Emperor.]

Jiang Li:”…”

It seems that there was a similar dialogue when he first got the system.
