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

Chapter 628: Chapter 627: Probing each other (An extra for the wolf in sheep’s clothing standing guard for the Silver League)

The more Qian explored the intelligence of the Nine Provinces, the more he felt the unpredictability of the Nine Provinces. Facing the Nine Provinces, he, who possessed the unbridled power of a peak transcendence tribulation stage, felt his heart tremble.

“As expected of the Nine Provinces. Even if its strength is slightly inferior to when it was still containing the heavenly ascension ladder, its foundation is enough to intimidate anyone. However, we of the Eight Desolates are not to be trifled with either,” Qian, the Master of the Desolates, murmured to himself, calculating something.

“Now it’s the Golden Core Stage.” The expression of the Master of the Desolates did not change, everything was as usual. They had already lost three sets in the seven, so winning or losing was no longer important. The important thing was how much information they could gather about the Nine Provinces through this competition, to prepare for what’s to come next.

What does it matter to lose one game and lose face in the face of the bigger picture?

The one who laughs to the end will always be the winner.

“The Golden Core stage disciple that we are going to send is not just ordinary, he possesses a Yin-Yang Golden Core, a two-colored core that spins, invincible among its peers.” The Master of the Desolates said with pride.

The Yin-Yang Golden Core can resist a divine sense attack, and it can also greatly weaken the attack of a spiritual treasure, thus, the advantage of a cultivator from Nine Provinces becomes insignificant.

Regardless of whether we care about winning or losing, we must win this round.

Hearing Qian’s boasts, the colors of the faces of those in the Body Integration Realm were strange.

“Yin-Yang Golden Core, it’s indeed impressive.” Jiang Li pulled out the “Golden Core Compendium”, and found the corresponding golden core type.

It detailed the advantages, weaknesses, and cultivation methods of the Yin-Yang Golden Core, which was more than what Qian understood.

The Master of the Desolates got a shock. He glanced at the “Golden Core Compendium”. It was not just the Yin-Yang Golden Core that was recorded on it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There’s also the Seven-Color Golden Elixir, Nine-Color Golden Elixir, Colorless Golden Core, and so forth.

The types of golden cores completely exceeded his expectations. How many core formation methods did the Nine Provinces master?

In the field, the cultivators of the Nine Provinces who had seen the opponent take out the Yin-Yang Golden Core were somewhat surprised and promptly gave up the idea of using the spiritual treasure and divine sense attack.

Who would’ve thought that anyone would still form their cores according to the textbook?

The “Golden Core Collection” is everywhere in the Nine Provinces, and each Golden Core cultivator has a copy.

Due to the prevalence of the “Golden Core Collection”, anyone who wants to form a distinctive golden core will use it as a blueprint, modifying the golden core style to avoid having the same golden core as the one in the book.

The “Golden Core Collection” listed the weaknesses of various golden cores. Forming a core according to the book is equivalent to revealing one’s weaknesses.

Only a fool would do that.

“Who would’ve thought there would be someone who forms a Yin-Yang Golden Core that’s exactly the same as described in the ‘Golden Core Collection’.”

The Golden Core cultivator of the Nine Provinces grinned and made use of the weakness of the Yin-Yang Golden Core as described in the book to defeat his opponent.

“Who would have thought it would be so easy to win.” In preparation for today’s match, this Golden Core cultivator had prepared various combat methods, and in the end, none of them needed to be used.

The Master of the Desolates couldn’t understand the actions of the Nine Provinces. Who, after forming a Yin-Yang Golden Core, would not hide it and use it as a trump card to defeat the enemy, yet in the Nine Provinces they even assembled various Golden Cores into a volume for printing.

Isn’t this disclosing secrets voluntarily?

Facing the confusion of the Master of the Desolates, Jiang Li said, “What secrets? After its publication, everyone discusses it together, fills in the gaps together, and perfects its weaknesses. Isn’t this more conducive to golden core stage cultivation? This ‘Golden Core Collection’ was also something I helped bring about.”

The Master of the Desolates listened to Jiang Li’s explanation and became even more confused.

Being a peerless Mahayana, why care about how the Golden Core stage cultivates, isn’t that too idle?

Caring about the weak, is this what a strong person does?

If the strong see these as their responsibilities and undertake so many tasks, who would want to be strong.

Isn’t what the strong seek is absolute freedom?

Seeing the Master of the Desolates not understanding him, Jiang Li didn’t provide much explanation either. After cultivating to this point, his views on things have already been formed, and they can’t easily be explained in a few words.

Continuing would only result in endless arguments without any conclusions.

Why bother adding to the trouble.

The Golden Core Stage of the Eight Desolates may have had many tricks, but none of them exceeded the scope of the “Golden Core Collection”, and the cultivators of the Nine Provinces were able to handle them effortlessly.

The Master of the Desolates realizes that in terms of experience, they still can’t compete with those from Nine Provinces.

Eleven rounds of the Golden Core Stage, and the Eight Desolates lost terribly, they didn’t win a single match.

Spiritual treasures, progress in cultivation, experience, Nine Provinces was crushing Eight Desolates in every aspect.

Of the seven sets, four have already been won, there’s no need to continue.

“So, do you want to continue?” Jiang Li asked with interest, looking at the eight masters of the Desolates.

They had different expressions, but the other seven looked towards the Master of the Desolates for his decision.

The Master of the Desolates did not appear discouraged due to failure. He smiled and said, “Let’s just finish the remaining rounds. Consider it a friendly match.”

“Fair enough, this is in line with my intentions.” Jiang Li did not stop them from going on if that’s what they wanted.

“Then it’s time for the Nascent Soul Stage. Kongkong, it’s your turn.” Jiang Li called out Ji Kongkong’s name.

For this competition, Jiang Li had summoned the candidates for Human Emperor from the Ten Thousand Words World back here. They would continue to build the Ten Thousand Words World after the competition.

Among the candidates for Human Emperor, Ji Kongkong, Luo Ying, and Luo Zhu started late and were still in the Nascent Soul Stage while the rest had reached the stage of Divinity Transformation.

Fighting against champions from other worlds, this was indeed a rare occurrence. Ji Kongkong licked her lips, appearing somewhat excited.

In the Ten Thousand Words World, she often challenged various candidates for Human Emperor, with both wins and losses.

When Jiang Li wasn’t around, she reveled in fighting.

Ji Zhi held his forehead, feeling that Ji Kongkong was developing towards being like Yu Yin, becoming a fighting fanatic.

She wasn’t like this when she was young.

“Could it be that she enjoys fighting because she is seeking stimulation?”

Ji Kongkong’s eyes were vacant, seeing the future.

“I see it, I will win… Wait, I looked too far, a little closer.”

Ji Kongkong knew the opponent’s next move and she took out a nine-section whip, whipped it fiercely, causing a crackling sound.

The opponent was the most outstanding Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Eight Desolates, a closed-door disciple of one of the Desolate Masters, whose combat power was not to be underestimated.

The opponent found out that Ji Kongkong seemed to be able to see the future. She could predict in advance, dodge every attack, and hit back, causing him a lot of pain.

The Eight Desolate Masters also couldn’t figure out what Ji Kongkong had done, they had no knowledge of the Way of Time.

In their impression, the Way of Time was a profound thing that only a Golden Immortal could touch.

Ji Kongkong became increasingly brave as the battle continued. As the battle progressed, she simply increased her difficulty level, no longer looking into the future and just directly fighting.

Otherwise, winning would be too boring.

“How did she manage to do that?” The Master of the Desolates, who could still see an inkling of the means and differences used before, was now utterly dumbfounded and was unable to figure anything out.

Jiang Li just laughed without saying a word.

At one end of the jury seats, the three Masters conveyed their divine sense and discussed softly.

“Have you guys noticed that Sect Master Bai Hongtu is particularly quiet today?”

“Right, right, right, I felt something was off. I felt a bit uncomfortable, it turns out it was because we were missing the noise made by Sect Master Bai.”

Entropy Increase Master sighed at his two blind brothers and said, “Don’t you guys see it? Mr. Jiang Li, Sect Master Bai Hongtu, and Queen Yu Yin are not here.”

“What?!” The Entropy Decrease and Entropy Equilibrium Masters took a look at the trio of Jiang Li, and it appeared they were indeed right here.

Entropy Increase Master continued, “Your observations are still not meticulous enough. The ones sitting here right now, are just their avatars. As for the true forms, if I am not mistaken, they should have gone to the Eight Desolates long ago.”

While the Eight Desolates were investigating the Nine Provinces, the latter were also investigating them, weren’t they?
