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

Chapter 651: Chapter 650 [Yes/No]

The wooden general was looking forward to his wedding night, he specifically asked Jiang Li for advice on what to pay attention to on that night, feeling that he was well versed in matters of relations between men and women.

Ayisu eagerly anticipated her wedding night as well. She learned the “Unity Technique”, and felt that she had a comprehensive understanding of intimate matters.

Then, the couple stumbled their way through their wedding night.

There were many people present for the wedding, so it was impossible for the Moth clan to build that many houses on the spot. Aya Miao produced housing tree seeds that she had bought from the Spirit Plant Sect. Upon planting, houses could instantly sprout, allowing the guests to spend the night in the tree houses.

That night, Bai Hongtu was playing mahjong in a trance, Yu Yin spent the whole night reading novels, and the Saintess of Pure Heart, in a burst of inspiration, wrote a new book.

Jiang Li practiced diligently throughout the night.

In the early morning, a well-known figure knocked on the door of Jiang Li’s treehouse, his voice somewhat urgent.

“What happened?” Jiang Li had never seen him being so anxious. In his memory, this man had always been a picture of elegance.

“Human Emperor, my disciple Wang Bian cannot be contacted.”

Wang Bian, a wandering scholar, was a genius cultivator on par with Wu Zhi during the Nascent Soul Stage. He was innately gifted and superior to his peers during the same period.

“Come in and tell me more.”

“Here’s what happened. A few days ago, Wang Bian proposed going to other worlds for training to polish his Confucian heart. I guessed that he might be at the Divinity Transformation Stage and would not get into any trouble, so I agreed.”

“But just to be secure, I requested the senior of the Great Confucian Word Post to write the words ‘Communicate’ on two pages, leaving one with me and the other with Wang Bian.”

“But this morning, influenced by the circumstances, I wanted to ask Wang Bian if he has any love interests, only to find that I couldn’t contact him.”

Jiang Li had a strange look on his face, “…Are you sure it wasn’t just him finding your question boring and therefore being dismissive of you?”

With the summoning talisman and statue present, he couldn’t imagine any potential problems arising. The new version of the summoning talisman can be actuated with a single thought.

The well-known figure instantly refuted, “Absolutely not. Wang Bian had several Confucian disciples with him, and none of them can be contacted either.”

Jiang Li got serious, as he also felt that something was amiss, “If so, I’ll check it out.”

“Thank you in advance, Human Emperor.”

“We’ve known each other since the Nascent Soul Stage, there’s no need to be so ceremonious.”

Jiang Li waved his hand and disappeared.

Jiang Li went to the Brahma Tower, which was in charge of traversing the Ten Thousand Realms.

“Wang Bian and a few Confucian disciples, right? According to the official records given by the Underworld, the world they are in is named the Permanent World.”

The Brahma Tower found the shuttle record, “Is the Human Emperor going to this world?”

“Yes.”

“Alright then, I would like to ask the Human Emperor to stand here.”

The Brahma Tower pointed at the teleportation array next to it. It has to teleport countless people every day, and using the teleportation array can reduce its workload.

A flash of light passed, and Jiang Li was no longer in the teleportation array.

…

Jiang Li stood on the street. This was the place where Wang Bian and the others had transferred to a few days ago.

He let his divine sense spread, covering the entire solar system, but he could not find any traces of Wang Bian and the others.

“A technological world, undergoing its third industrial revolution and not yet possessing the technology for extraterrestrial colonization,” Jiang Li easily deduced the level of this world.

“This is only one planet, there should be other planetary civilizations as well, could Wang Bian have gone to another planet?”

“That doesn’t seem right. The people of this planet haven’t encountered extraterrestrials yet, and Wang Bian would certainly not recklessly take a few Nascent Soul and Golden Core disciples to other planets. That’s too risky.”

“What’s going on exactly?”

Just as Jiang Li was deep in thought, a light screen appeared in front of him.

[O newcomer, do you want to understand the meaning of life?]

[Yes/No]

On the street, people came and went, all focusing on their own business. It was as if the light screen didn’t exist and nobody could see it.

Jiang Li didn’t hesitate and clicked on “No”.

There was no response, and the light screen stayed where it was. Wherever Jiang Li went, the light screen followed, constantly vibrating, rather annoying.

Jiang Li clicked on “Yes”, allowing the other party to take him away.

All the things around him, people, cars, and buildings, turned into sand and were blown away by the wind. The scene around Jiang Li flickered and finally stopped changing, bringing Jiang Li to a mysterious space.

A circular platform laid with transparent white stones surrounded by various statues of mythical beasts. These statues with ferocious faces looked as if they could come alive and devour people at any moment, giving one the chills.

The entire platform looked like an altar.

Outside the platform was pitch black, with nothing visible.

Jiang Li took out the Remote Communication Talisman, but was unable to contact Bai Hongtu, he thought to himself, “I can’t contact the outside world from here, Wang Bian and the others must have been transferred here.”

“What a pity, that such an interesting event took place and Bai Hongtu missed it.”

“It’s interesting how you, Daoist, act. When people arrive here, their first reaction is to use their phones to contact the outside world, yet you’re holding a piece of paper and talking to yourself,” a spectator laughed, a skinny man in his thirties wearing glasses.

There weren’t only Jiang Li on the altar. Other people were also transferred here.

Including Jiang Li, there were twelve people in total, eleven of them were from the same star as Jiang Li.

The eleven were all dressed in contemporary clothing while Jiang Li was wearing antique robes, setting him apart and leading others to identify him as a Daoist.

The skinny man appeared worldly-wise and seemed to know a thing or two about the altar.

A chubby kid asked anxiously, “What is this place? How did I get here simply by clicking on ‘Yes’? Can I still go back?”

The skinny man scoffed coldly, seemingly accustomed to such naive questions. He grinned, revealing his tobacco-stained teeth.

“To go back? Of course, you can. But the premise is that you survive the first round.”

“What do you mean?”

The skinny man pinched the chubby kid’s flesh and shook his head in disdain, “Short and stout, not agile, not a fighter, prone to panic… Once the first round starts, don’t look for me to team up, you’ll be a burden.”

A heavily made-up woman wasn’t pleased with the skinny man’s attitude, she muttered, “Such a showoff.”

“All of you should have encountered a question when you were at the brink of death, and answered ‘Yes’, right?”

The chubby kid nodded, “Yes, yes, yes. I was pushed off a rooftop. During my fall, a voice appeared beside my ear asking if I wanted to know the meaning of life, I replied ‘Yes’, and then I arrived here.”

The others looked grim, some of them had committed suicide, some were murdered, and others had met with an accident. Regardless, all had been on the verge of death.

Jiang Li also nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, yes. I was battling with the Heavenly Dao. The heavenly truths were grinded to dust, the hymn of the daos withered, overpowered by the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao chose to sacrifice the entire Immortal Realm to gain infinite power. When it wielded the heavenly saber to strike me, I was transferred here.”

The others gave Jiang Li a peculiar look and chose to distance themselves from him.

“This is the Saha World, at the border between life and death, a gathering place for those whose deaths are imminent.”

“This is not a hallucination when you’re about to die – this place really exists!”

“Adventure, opportunity, evolution… everything you could hope for.”

The skinny man laughed heartily.
