We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 486
Chapter 484: I will go to the Immortal Realm after I reach the peak of Mahayana cultivation
Chapter 484: I’ll wait until I reach the peak of the Mahayana stage before going to the Immortal Realm.
“Without the system, how did you defeat all those geniuses, especially Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin?”
“With my hands, that
‘s enough,” Jiang Li said as a matter of course. Relying on the system to become the Human Emperor, who is the Human Emperor, you or the system?
If you rely solely on the system, it would be better to let Bai Hongtu or Yu Yin become the Human Emperor.
Jiang Li chose to become the Human Emperor not to prove his own strength, but because he believed he would do better than Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin.
“You rely too much on the system,” Jiang Li said with finality.
The idle Jiang Li glared at the other party, feeling that this conclusion was too rash.
“I’ve completed all the system tasks. Do you know how difficult they were? They allowed me to defeat enemies two levels above me. They allowed me, with no prior experience, to compete against disciples from major sects and win first place. I’ve done all of this. I was able to complete these tasks solely through my wisdom and hard work. Tell me, how am I relying on the system?”
Jiang Li scoffed. “Wisdom and hard work? How do you know this wasn’t calculated by the system?”
“My counterattack system arrived five hundred years late. Its first task was to defeat Jiang Yixing, and its second to defeat Yun Bo… Even if I don’t complete the first, the system will still issue the second.”
“Do you know what this means? It means the system has already arranged all the tasks.”
The idle Jiang Li was struck by lightning, his mind resounding with thunder. He had always believed he wasn’t dependent on the system. Sometimes the system would issue seemingly impossible tasks, and he’d complete them all, thanks to himself.
But now, they were saying it was all part of the system’s plan.
This was a huge blow to him.
Jiang Li comforted him, “Don’t be too discouraged. It’s just that my system started up late. If the place where I traveled to also had a system, I would have made the same choice as you.”
“Really?” Idle Jiang Li felt that life was full of hope again.
“It’s just to comfort you. Just listen to it.”
“…With your mouth, can you find a Taoist partner?”
“Don’t change the subject. Or tell me what you did after getting the system. I’m interested in this.”
“I got the system after I traveled through time. The system gave me a novice gift package. It was with this gift package that I was able to defeat Jiang Yixing.”
“Later, I completed other tasks one after another, like defeating Yun Bo of the Huayun Sect and becoming the first in the Xuanmiao Secret Realm Trial. There’s nothing much to say about these. Oh, yes, the Xuanmiao Secret Realm has a follow-up task, which is to resurrect Meng Chun. In the process of resurrecting Meng Chun, we gradually developed feelings for each other.”
“Resurrecting Meng Chun is a task that’s ‘not recommended to give up’?”
Idle Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed: “Save some face for me. I also know the meaning of this kind of task.”
“After leaving the Mysterious Secret Realm, I encountered my first special quest, ‘Tracing the Immortal Realm.’ It requires first place in the Great Zhou Imperial Academy entrance exam to unlock it… Why am I explaining this to you in such detail? You just said it was easy to get into the Great Zhou Imperial Academy. Presumably, getting first place in the entrance exam five hundred years later wouldn’t be a problem for you either.”
Jiang Li remained calm and composed. “Could you elaborate on this special quest? Perhaps our methods of completing it are different.”
The idle Jiang Li said honestly, “Tracing the Immortal Realm, as the name suggests, is about finding the reason why the Immortal Realm disappeared.”
“Rather than ‘Tracing the Immortal Realm,’ it’s more like ‘The Immortal Master’s Knot.’ I completed many quests, like searching for a portrait of the Red Dust Fairy in the Red Dust Pure Land and learning about the life of the Daoist Ancestor. Eventually, the Immortal Master told me the truth about the Immortal Realm: that the Outer Realm Demons were fabricated by him, that the Heavenly Dao gave rise to spiritual intelligence, and that Immortals are the Outer Realm Demons.”
“Did you complete the quest ‘Finding the Fragments of the Immortal Ladder’?”
“Of course, it took a lot of effort. I can’t even count how many worlds I traversed and how many close friends I met before I finally pieced together the complete Immortal Ladder.”
“After I completed the three special missions—’Tracing the Immortal Realm,’ ‘Searching for Fragments of the Immortal Ladder,’ and ‘The Path to the Human Emperor,’ and reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage—the system issued a mission to the Immortal Realm.”
“You didn’t go?”
Idle Jiang Li scratched his head. “The Heavenly Dao generates intelligence, which means the Immortal Realm is full of enemies. Celestial Immortals and Golden Immortals are rampant in the Immortal Realm. Even with the system, I felt unsafe, so I decided to break through to the Mahayana Stage before heading to the Immortal Realm.”
“Three hundred years ago, I broke through to the Mahayana Stage, and this time I didn’t rely on the system.” Idle Jiang Li emphasized that his breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage was entirely self-reliant.
The system had told him to go to the Immortal Realm, but he refused, and the system froze, never issuing another mission.
“Immortal Changcun said that if one reaches the peak of the Mahayana stage, they can fight a celestial immortal thirty times. That’s my goal.”
“I want to cultivate the Mahayana stage to its fullest extent before going to the immortal realm. It’s safer that way.”
Jiang Li looked strange. There was no end to the Mahayana stage. “Immortal Weng only told you that he made up the extraterritorial demons, but he didn’t tell you that he made up the Mahayana stage?”
Jiang Li, the idle man
, was shocked. “What? The Mahayana stage was made up?” “That’s impossible! The immortal cultivation novels I read before I traveled through time all said there was a realm called the Mahayana stage before ascension.”
Jiang Li had no choice but to tell him the whole story of nine thousand years ago.
Jiang Li, the idle man, felt sick.
“I was wondering why I felt something was wrong. After Fairy Hongchen was resurrected, I fought her. I tried my best to suppress my strength, and only then could we get a fair fight.”
“At the time, I thought that Fairy Hongchen was a celestial being, and no matter how good I was at the Mahayana stage, I couldn’t be that much stronger than a celestial being. It turns out that the Mahayana stage doesn’t even exist.”
“I was worried that Immortal Changcun would find out about Fairy Hongchen’s resurrection and come looking for her, so I didn’t tell him about it.”
Jiang Li’s mind moved, and he remembered something.
“You didn’t feel anything when you saw Fairy Hongchen?”
“How is that possible? Fairy Hongchen is so beautiful, no man can resist her.”
“I mean, you weren’t driven crazy by her charm?”
“It’s really strange to say, even Sect Leader Qingyu would be confused when he saw Fairy Hongchen, but I’m fine.”
Idle Jiang Li had one more thing to say – it was precisely because he saw that Fairy Hongchen was fine that he had a close and ambiguous relationship with Fairy Hongchen afterwards.
Jiang Li had a strange look on his face. There was only one reason why he could overcome Fairy Hongchen’s charm, and that was that he was as strong as Heavenly Dao, or even stronger than Heavenly Dao. Is
this guy as strong as Heavenly Dao?
To ask if this guy was strong, Jiang Li’s answer was yes.
Idle Jiang Li lacked combat awareness and was ruined by the system, but in terms of strength, he could rival the First Emperor.
However, the First Emperor cultivated for two hundred years after reaching the Mahayana stage, and Idle Jiang Li cultivated diligently for three hundred years after reaching the Mahayana stage. Surprisingly, the two were almost the same in strength, and Jiang Li didn’t know what to say.
Strength and realm are linked, which shows that Idle Jiang Li’s cultivation speed is not a little bit different.
