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

Chapter 40: Isn ‘t It Enough Just to Have a Hand?

Translator: 549690339

As excited as Jiang Li was when he went to the unknown world, he now felt equally disappointed.

This grey world didn’t hold a shred of interest for him.

A world with only two kinds of things, how interesting could it be?

The only use for this world was for Jiang Li to come here in the future to try and cross the tribulation, to see if there was a chance for ascension. Perhaps this world is connected to the Immortal Realm.

Jiang Li could only comfort himself this way.

The system had already memorized the coordinates of the grey world, as long as he spent more than 50,000 source points, he could go there.

To Jiang Li, who could casually write a body integration realm cultivation technique, source points were like an open treasury. He could get as much as he wanted.

What, someone doing tasks for fifty source points, no, definitely no such person.

Jiang Li inwardly denied it vehemently.

The Remote Communication Talisman vibrated and Jiang Li connected it.

“Brother Jiang, I haven’t been able to contact you for several days. The investigation you asked me to conduct has results. The former Human Emperor candidates all said no one on their side saw the man in black.” Another leader of the Imperial Palace contacted Jiang Li.

“That’s strange.”

Jiang Li didn’t understand. Why was the man in black so certain that he could become the Human Emperor? Or was he just spreading the way of the devil?

“Then you go to the Sky Mechanism Tower and post a commission. They have unconventional ways, let them investigate who taught Jiang Yixing the demonic cultivation method 380 years ago.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Li opened many space cracks in succession, but he did not receive any notifications from the system about discovering an unknown world. It seems that he was just lucky to have found the grey world at once.

A few days later, the system issued a new task.

[New task: The Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy is about to start enrollment. The Four Great Academies serve as preparatory schools for the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy. Sixty percent of their students are able to pass the exam to the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy. You are not from the Four Great Academies, and you have been laughed at by academy students. Please come first in the entrance exam of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family

Academy.]

[You can abandon this task.]

[Task reward: One drop of true dragon blood, one beast transformation pill, unlock special task “Mystery of The Immortal Realm”]

“Hmm?”

Jiang Li automatically ignored the dragon blood and the beast transformation pill, and asked, “What is the Mystery of The Immortal Realm?”

[You are not entitled to know before unlocking the task.]

Even though this system was as exasperating as always, it never lied. If it says it can teleport you, it can teleport you; if it says it gives you something, it gives you something. Since this task is called “Mystery of The Immortal Realm”, does it mean that if I complete this task, I can find the Immortal Realm? Jiang Li’s heart itched at the sight of this special task, so he decided to take it.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy, it has been a while since he last visited.

Jiang Li was a student of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy, where he also met Ji Zhi, who was then just a prince.

Back then, Jiang Li had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and was being hunted down. In the end, he had no choice but to set fire to the Five Elements Spiritual Root with a resolve to die, intending to perish together with his enemy.

The other party was also shocked. Burning the spiritual root, only a madman would do such a thing. Burning the spiritual root indeed brings about extremely strong combat power in a short period, but it is also extremely dangerous. It’s a situation of life hanging by a thread. Even if one survives by a fluke, he will be reduced to a common man without spiritual enerzv!

In the Nine Provinces, having no spiritual root is worse than death!

However, Jiang Li neither died nor became a mortal, instead he forced The Heavenly Spiritual Root to awaken ahead of time.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root is self-cultivated, showing the Five Elements

Spiritual Root to the outside world, only when a cultivator relies on the Five Elements Spiritual Root cultivation to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, does the Heavenly Spiritual Root awaken, making him soar into the sky from then on.

Heavenly Spiritual Root is scarce, relying on Five Elements Spiritual Root cultivation to reach the Nascent Soul Stage is even more difficult, the combination of both factors results in the appearance of a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator once in a thousand years.

But there has never been a situation where the Five Elements Spiritual Root was burnt, resulting in the early awakening of the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Jiang Li found that he had returned from the early foundation establishment stage to the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, but his foundation was more solid, and after cultivating for a while, he surprisingly reached the 10th stage of Qi Cultivation?!

Where does the 10th stage come from in Qi Cultivation?!

If he kept practicing like this, all the way to the 20th stage of Qi Cultivation, would he still be able to establish his foundation?!

Jiang Li didn’t understand his transformation, hearing that the place with the most books in Great Zhou was the library of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy, he wanted to go there to see if he could explain his situation.

Although he didn’t find the book he wanted, Jiang Li learned knowledge about cultivation from the system while studying at the academy. Based on theoretical knowledge, he speculated that he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root and awakened ahead of time.

After Jiang Li became the Human Emperor, he would come to the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy every thirty years to give a lecture, to repay the favor of solving his confusion.

“Time flies, five hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye. When I left the academy I was a student, and now I am still a student.”

It was the season of admission, and students from all over the country came to take the academy’s entrance exam, and the inns were fully booked. Jiang Li spent a lot of money to rent a nearby inn to prepare for the entrance exam.

The previous task rewarded by the system was the function of source point reading, and the next task was to come first in the entrance exam. The hint was very clear, which was to let you use this new function to study and get first place.

But Jiang Li thought it was a joke. He could get first in the entrance exam of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy without relying on the system back then. Five hundred years have passed, he has now become a Mahayana realm cultivator, his knowledge is so extensive, so it should be easy to handle a little entrance exam.

Using the system at all would be an insult to his intelligence!

The history of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy is long, dating back to the founding of the Great Zhou. It occupies a large area in one corner of the royal city of the Great Zhou, where land is as precious as gold. But no one dares to complain, because all the successive emperors of Great Zhou graduated from here.

For this reason, the inns nearby are extremely expensive, not something ordinary people can afford. Usually, three or four people share a small room, living tightly packed together, and they all study hard day and night. Even the students of the Four Great Academies looked like they were studying hard.

Jiang Li leisurely strolled around with his hands behind his back, his carefree demeanor contrasting strongly with the tense atmosphere of study around him.

Someone who was annoyed by Jiang Li’s demeanor was about to jeer when he was pulled away by a companion.

“What’s wrong, what are you stopping me for, I just hate people who waste their days!”

“You’ve studied so hard you’ve become stupid. People like him are obviously very good students, they are confident!”

“Another companion chimed in, “Look at those top students in our academy, don’t they all seem to not work very hard? After taking the exam, they sigh and complain, but when the results come out, they’re first in the class.”

“Yeah, yeah, they sleep more in class than anyone else, and after the exam, they say they got this question wrong, and that question wrong. I thought that the first in the class was nothing more than this, but when the exam result came out, he was still first in the class, and I was still last.”

The person who wanted to ridicule was persuaded by his companions, and suddenly realized, yes, those who come to the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy to take the entrance exam, how could they just come to go through the motions?

It was a close call, he almost got slapped in the face, better to study hard, don’t stick your head out and get slapped by someone..
