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

Immortal Realm, Golden Que Cloud Palace.

The Immortal Emperor enjoys playing chess; every move is made after deep deliberation. Fifteen days have passed and the Immortal Emperor has played five rounds of chess.

“Lu Wu, you lost again. Your skill in chess seems to have decreased compared to the past. It seems you’re not focused. Is something bothering you?” The Immortal Emperor spoke lightly.

“Your Majesty, your majestic presence makes me nervous.”

The Immortal Emperor laughed: “Enough, speak your mind without sugarcoating it.”

“Your Majesty, every word I speak is the truth, without any fabrication. But recently, I have discovered some clues that could possibly disturb your Majesty’s tranquility if investigated too deeply.”

“Speak, you will not be blamed.”

Seeing that Lu Wu was still hesitating, the Immortal Emperor pretended to be angry: “If you do not speak, I will charge you with deceiving the Emperor!”

Lu Wu quickly knelt on the ground: “Your Majesty, my fear is that there might be problems in the Nine Provinces world overseen by Lord Minghuo.”

The Nine Provinces world—the most powerful world outside the Immortal Realm—is one of the Three corpses of the Dao Ancestor’s trials. Once the Immortals from the Nine Provinces rise, they form a considerable force. For these reasons, the Immortal Emperor was somewhat familiar with the Nine Provinces.

“Your Majesty, I have received information suggesting that the embryonic form of Heavenly Dao might have emerged in the Nine Provinces, and Lord Minghuo has concealed this from your Majesty.”

The eyeballs of the Immortal Emperor emitted a golden glow as he asked seriously: “Is this true?”

“I’m investigating the matter.”

“Report back as soon as you find anything.”

Originally, the Immortal Emperor didn’t want any mishap to befall Lord Minghuo, but if the embryonic form of Heavenly Dao did emerge in the Nine Provinces, not even he could save Lord Minghuo.

This is a major taboo for the Respected God-hidden.

The Immortal Emperor sighed: “If only the Dao Ancestor hadn’t shattered the ladder to immortality. The Heavenly Dao’s control over the Ten Thousand Realms wouldn’t have drastically decreased, leaving us unaware of the emergence of an embryonic form of Heavenly Dao in other worlds.”

Lu Wu echoed: “Indeed, since the ladder to immortality was destroyed, our Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm has been the only one. No other world could possibly give birth to Heavenly Dao.”

Building a ladder to immortality requires a large number of rare materials and immortal smiths who command special techniques.

Due to the scarcity of materials and the loss of many skilled immortals during the internal conflicts of the Immortal Realm, it is now impossible to build more ladders to immortality.

Of course, some can still be constructed, but considering the sheer number of the Ten Thousand Realms, it’s like trying to extinguish a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water—not nearly enough.

While kneeling, Lu Wu cautiously asked: “Is the Respected One still in seclusion?”

The Immortal Emperor nodded: “The Respected One is still calculating when and where the disaster will come, ensuring that the Immortal Realm will be the last world to face it.”

“From the initial prediction of the disaster occurring within twenty thousand years to the most recent prediction of it happening within a hundred years, the Respected One’s results have become increasingly accurate as time has passed.”

“But it is still not enough. Far from it.”

Lu Wu carefully asked: “May I ask what this disaster is…”

The Immortal Emperor glared fiercely, radiating the imposing air of the Emperor, causing Lu Wu to tremble with fear: “Do not ask what you should not.”

The Immortal Emperor, having reigned over the Immortal Realm for countless eons and with the direction of the Heavenly Dao, has reached the peak of control. His every look and every move can determine the life and death of an Immortal.

As to what the disaster actually is, only the Primordial Daoless Immortal knows; even a Golden Immortal at the peak of power has no right to know.

A previous attempt to learn about the disaster by Lu Wu had ended without any information.

Lu Wu’s communication talisman in his sleeve lit up. It was a specific setting to ensure he received messages from Ying Zhao and the others as quickly as possible.

“Your Majesty, it’s my subordinate that I dispatched to the Nine Provinces.” Lu Wu didn’t dare to answer the call casually in front of the Immortal Emperor.

“Answer it.”

“Very well.”

“Lord Lu Wu, it is confirmed. A Heavenly Dao embryonic form has been born in the Nine Provinces. The Human Emperor is the spokesman of this embryonic form.”

The first sentence from Ying Zhao was good news for Lu Wu, especially since it was said in front of the Immortal Emperor.

This time, how will you turn the situation around, Minghuo!

“Wait a moment. Who’s behind you?”

Lu Wu noticed a person behind Ying Zhao who killed two Heavenly Immortals with clean and decisive moves.

A Golden Immortal!

Only a Golden Immortal could effortlessly kill Heavenly Immortals!

The gap between a Heavenly Immortal and a Golden Immortal is vast. Even if a Heavenly Immortal faced a half-step Golden Immortal, survival would be possible, but when facing a true Golden Immortal— even an initial-stage Golden Immortal — there would be no chance of resistance.

The Nine Provinces Earth Veins have produced an extraordinary individual!

“My name is Jiang Li. I am the Human Emperor you’re looking for. You must be Lord Lu Wu. Given the term ‘Lord’, you must be a Golden Immortal. This is my first time seeing a living Golden Immortal.” The man named Jiang Li laughed, showing no fear towards Lu Wu.

“Lower realm being, do not overestimate your abilities. If you release Ying Zhao and willingly come to the Immortal Realm to atone for your sins, the Immortal Realm may spare your life.”

“Spare my life?” Jiang Li laughed coldly, murder in his eyes. “This should be my line, shouldn’t it? You Immortals, who destroy the Ten Thousand Realms, are unforgivable. When I come to the Immortal Realm to settle this, do not beg me to spare your lives.”

“If you are not afraid of death, just come to the Nine Provinces.”

Jiang Li showed a mocking smile, then disconnected the communication.

“Bastard!” Lu Wu was livid. He had never seen such an arrogant being from the lower realm. Even the Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm were polite in his presence.

“So, his name is Emperor Jiang Li, quite a fitting title. Aptly symbolizing the Emperor’s sovereignty. Isn’t it, Lu Wu?”

The Immortal Emperor laughed. The strength displayed by Jiang Li was not enough for him to consider Jiang Li as an opponent.

Just a rebellious being from the Lower Realm.

The Emperor’s words brought Lu Wu back to reality. He realized that he was in the Golden Que Cloud Palace, not on his Kunlun Hill.

“Your Majesty, with such power, he most likely drew strength from the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao. I will immediately head to the Nine Provinces to apprehend him and demonstrate the majesty of the Heavenly Court.” Lu Wu decided to perform meritorious deeds to make up for past mistakes and volunteered for the mission.

“Informing your Majesty, Lord Minghuo seeks an audience.” A guard informed the Emperor.

“Let him come in.”

Lord Minghuo glanced at the servile Lu Wu from the corner of his eye and ignored him. As usual, he respectfully reported his work to the Emperor.

He believed that as long as he did his work well, no matter how many slanders Lu Wu made, he would not be able to smear him.

Lord Minghuo frequently reported his work because he was aware of the Emperor’s desire for control. Even if he reported so often that it annoyed the Emperor, it was still better than reporting only a few times.

Being able to cultivate up to the level of a Golden Immortal, he knew how to interact and behave with others.

The Emperor listened to the report, then smiled: “Minghuo, your work has always been so meticulous. However, even the most conscientious people make mistakes. Look, I just heard that there seems to be a minor issue in the Nine Provinces world you’re in charge of—an embryonic form of Heavenly Dao seems to have emerged.”

“It seems so. You and Lu Wu will go to the Nine Provinces to investigate.”

A shiver ran down Lu Wu’s spine. He understood what the Emperor meant. Jiang Li’s existence proved the existence of the Heavenly Dao’s embryonic form, but the Emperor still described it as “seeming”. He was implying that Lord Minghuo should deal with the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao and downplay the whole event.

Lord Minghuo was indeed a significant threat to him.

Lord Minghuo’s eyes tightened, revealing a murderous intent. The emergence of the Heavenly Dao’s embryonic form in the Nine Provinces meant that there was a mistake in Du Ye’s duty.

However, the most important thing right now was not to punish Du Ye, but to deal with the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible.

“Just to be safe, I’ll send two more people to assist you.”

The Emperor sent four Golden Immortals to the Nine Provinces to deal with the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao.
