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

The Red Crow Furnace howled in pain, continuously spitting out external pills.

The Red Crow Furnace, which has been suppressed for countless ages, was ruthlessly suppressed by Jiang Li, with no chance of turning the tables.

Downstairs, Su Wei collected the external pills and sold them to the crowds who recognized them as valuable and did not skimp on spending Spirit Stones. Three thousand external pills were sold out.

“This refined Golden Core is stronger than an ordinary Golden Core Stage.” Jiang Li remarked as he walked towards Su Wei.

The Red Crow Furnace had accidentally taken a tumble and was heavily damaged, unable to even stand. It needed Jiang Li’s help to make its way to Su Wei.

Jiang Li continued saying “However, this technique can only be applied to the Golden Core Stage. This embellished Golden Core damages the perfect nature of the Golden Core, and thus the power is weaker than when used in the Nascent Soul Stage after achieving a top tier Golden Core.”

Golden cores are divided into upper, middle, and lower tiers, with the number one Golden Core in the upper class being the strongest.

Upon hearing this, people tried to simulate the Nascent Soul using this Golden Core and found that it was indeed, as Jiang Li had said, not as effective as the upper-class Golden Core. The power fluctuated between the middle and lower stages of Golden Core becoming a Nascent Soul, depending on the different characteristics of the Golden Core.

For example, the Taiji Golden Core, which can be cultivated into a Taiji Nascent Soul. Although the quality of the nascent soul is the lowest among all nascent souls, the Taiji nascent soul can operate Yin and Yang Qi, which can be comparable in strength to a medium-quality nascent soul.

After all, only a handful of people can achieve upper level Golden Core—less than ten percent.

Jiang Li suggested, “Why don’t we record today’s events as the ‘Golden Core Collection’, for future generations and new arrivals to refer to it during core formation. For those who can form an upper-class core, let them form an upper-class core. If not, they can put more effort into the Golden Core, like us.”

Everyone agreed with this. They had so much fun today and they felt as though something was missing if they didn’t record it down.

A group of integrated realm practitioners thought quietly, and quickly came up with ideas for what to write, and they wrote down their successful and failed experiences.

Bai Hongtu gathered the papers that had been written on and compiled them into a book.

Yu Yin ground the ink and spread the paper, writing down the appearance of various Golden Cores, as well as the scenes of today’s battle, as a supplement.

Jiang Li wanted to emulate the “Preface of the Orchid Pavilion Collection” and write a “Preface to the Golden Core Collection”.

“In the year 4011 of the Flambeau calendar, the age is in Gui-Chou, and at the beginning of late spring, we meet under the banyan tree in the Lingzhi Sect… How does the rest of it go?”

Jiang Li held his pen, contemplating for a long time, and finally decided to let Dong Zhongren take charge of this task.

Dong Zhongren was surprised and delighted, Jiang the Human Emperor was actually bestowing this honor upon him. Jiang was truly selfless, impressive indeed.

Finally, with the exception of Jiang Li, the “Golden Core Collection Preface” was completed. Everyone signed it with flamboyant signatures, Bai Hongtu used a spell to copy the book, distributing copies to everyone as memorabilia.

The original copy was kept at the Imperial Palace and distributed to practitioners throughout all the provinces by the Imperial Palace.

When Jiang Li handed the “Golden Core Collection Preface” to Captain Liu, Captain Liu looked puzzled.

“Hall Master, I remember you were supposed to be undergoing tribulation, so why did you come back with a book containing the insights of top cultivators from nine provinces on the Golden Core Stage?”

Jiang Li didn’t know how to explain the situation, so he laughed it off.

Jiang Li spent the night at the Imperial Palace, demonstrating that he is a Human Emperor who often stays at the Imperial Palace.

Early in the morning, just after he left the Imperial Palace, he met Tianming Daoren.

“Greetings to the Human Emperor,” Tianming Daoren greeted.

Jiang Li was puzzled. Everyone had just met at Lingzhi Sect yesterday, so why did Tianming Daoren seek him out again?

“Please forgive me, Human Emperor. After I returned to the Sky Mechanism Tower yesterday, I described today’s events and my new disciple came up with the idea of writing a feature about you. I thought it was a good idea, so I agreed.”

Behind Tianming Daoren was a young cultivator, probably the new disciple that Tianming Daoren had taken in.

“I don’t mind. What does the Sky Mechanism Tower want to report on?”

“I want to write an article called ‘A Day in the Life of Jiang, the Human Emperor.'” The new disciple looking at Jiang Li with admiration in his eyes.

“This is my youngest disciple. His name is Nitrate. Before this, he was the second older brother at Observing the Mahayana Sect.”

“Nitrate pays his respects to the Human Emperor.”

“…Don’t you discriminate when you’re choosing a disciple?” Jiang Li felt that disciples from Observing Mahayana Sect were everywhere.

“The Human Emperor may not know this, but my young disciple, Nitrate, is extremely talented when it comes to writing news about you, and he’s also an extremely promising candidate for cultivating our sect’s Divine Heavenly Mechanism.”

Jiang Li felt that there were other motives for Tianming Daoren to take Nitrate as his disciple.

“What do I need to do?”

“You don’t need to do anything. Just bring Nitrate with you when you do something. Nitrate can record your behaviors all day long using the Spiritual Treasure.”

“Of course, Nitrate may have some questions about some of your behavior and ask you about it. You can answer casually.”

Jiang Li nodded, feeling that it was no big deal, and agreed.

Tianming Daoren advised Nitrate a few times before disappearing in midair. Nitrate calmly followed behind Jiang Li, like an invisible person.

Looking at Jiang Li’s back, Nitrate couldn’t help but recall the words of his eldest brother, third junior brother, fourth junior sister, and others.

The members of the Observing Mahayana Sect were scattered all over nine provinces. Excluding the Imperial Palace, their figures could be seen everywhere.

Their aim was to observe Jiang Li and to forecast the changes in the Dao of Humanity.

He must live up to expectations and observe Jiang Li well.

All of them from the Observing Mahayana Sect knew more or less about the big events, they didn’t care much about this, they felt they needed to record Jiang Li’s track without any particular reason.

They absolutely do not have the mindset of allowing the Observing Mahayana Sect to act freely just for fun.

They swore this to Bai Hongtu.

…

Jiang Li disguised himself and randomly selected a city. He went to a local restaurant, ordered a bowl of millet porridge and two plates of buns, enjoying the food while casually chatting with nearby diners about all sorts of pleasant things, like how Jiang Li had undergone his sixteenth immortal tribulation; he had made new breakthroughs in Sword Dao and how Jiang Li had revived from death, becoming an undying being…

Nitrate wrote down diligently: Jiang Li is humble, disguises himself, cares for the masses, and personally investigates the local breakfast situation. He finds out whether the civilians were overpriced and whether the food is good. Furthermore, Jiang Li also keeps tabs on how he is viewed by the public, constantly reflecting on himself.

“Emperor, considering you have already fasted, why do you still eat breakfast?”

“Because this shop’s millet porridge and buns really taste good. I’ve eaten here several times.” Jiang Li loved the food so much that he ordered two more plates of buns, one for him and one for Nitrate.

He was eating for the taste, not to fill his stomach.

Fasting cultivators are always neither hungry nor full.

Nitrate thanked Jiang Li and carefully recorded: Jiang Li insists on eating breakfast at the same shop to observe changes in the price of items.

Nitrate tasted a bun and found that the flavor was indeed excellent; hence, he asked the shop owner how they managed to achieve it. The shop owner didn’t hide anything and revealed their cooking process.

Nitrate recorded: Good ingredients often need the simplest cooking methods…
