The counterattack system is only available in the Mahayana period

In Jiuzhou, in front of the unknown secret realm, monks are rushing here one after another.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the monks who rush here are all outstanding people. They are young and their cultivation is far beyond that of their peers.

The talented people looked at each other warily. These were all future opponents. Only by defeating them all could they take over the position of Lu Renhuang and become the new Human Emperor.

"Gui Bishan, a close disciple of the leader of the Corpse Exorcist Sect, Meng Youyou, the senior sister of the Hehuan Sect, Xuanyuan Gang, who has the same sword spirit root as the Sword Lord... are all familiar faces."

The talented people quickly recognized the identities of the others. They were all peers who were well-known in the world, and each of them had their own unique features that allowed them to dominate among their peers.

They puffed up their chests a little, and they were confident that they could defeat all opponents and become the seventy-second generation emperor.

A handsome young man in white clothes, with a sword across his waist, attracted many monks to watch him as soon as he arrived.

"Look, that's Dao Zong's walking Bai Hongtu. I knew he must be on the list of candidates for the Human Emperor!"

"I heard that he is known as the most outstanding genius in the nine thousand years of Dao Zong. He is proficient in forming formations, making alchemy and refining weapons, and his sword skills are unparalleled. Not long ago, he shone in the Sword Lord Sword Tomb and sat in silence for three days. , when he stood up, two golden lights shot out from his eyes, the sword energy stretched across thirty thousand miles, six of the eighteen stone tablets were cut off, and Xuanyuan Gang of the sword pavilion was defeated!"

Bai Hongtu has a majestic appearance, a confident smile on his lips, and a high-spirited look. He is the object of admiration for countless female cultivators, and he is worthy of the name of the most outstanding genius of the Taoist sect.

Soon, another cold female cultivator arrived and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

The cold female cultivator has a peerless appearance. Many people who wanted to get involved with her were discouraged when they saw the cold female cultivator's aura of keeping strangers away from her.

Bai Hongtu and Qing Leng female cultivator nodded to each other as a greeting.

"That's Yu Yin, Princess Tianyuan. I heard that in the Tianyuan Dynasty, there is no peer who can fight with her. Even if she fights against the older generation, she has won many times!"

When Yu Yin heard someone talking about him, he glanced coldly, scaring the person so much that he immediately dared not speak.

"Yu Yin, you still have this temper, be careful not to make friends." The stranger arrived and happened to see this scene and couldn't help laughing.

Most people have never met this young man: "Who is that? Do you know him?"

"I haven't seen him before, but he can become a candidate for the Human Emperor. There is no doubt about his talent. I haven't seen him before. There are two possibilities. The other party is either a disciple of Xue Zang of some force, or a rogue cultivator. The latter is more difficult to deal with than the former."

Yu Yin was not surprised by the arrival of the young man opposite: "Jiang Li, as expected, you have also become a candidate for the Human Emperor."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The earth line is pleasing to my eyes."

"Jiang Li? I have an impression of this name. I heard that he was the student with the best graduation score at the Imperial Academy of Zhou Dynasty. After graduation, many forces wanted to recruit him, but he refused because he traveled around the world. I didn't know much about it after that. Where did he go?"

"It seems that he went to the Sword Tomb when it was opened."

"Could it be that he is also a swordsman?"

"It's very possible that the swordsman will have a hard time dealing with him in close combat, so be careful."

Jiang Li turned his head and saw Bai Hongtu, and greeted him warmly: "Old Bai, are you able to sneak in at your level?"

When Bai Hongtu saw Jiang Li, he walked over and responded with the same enthusiasm: "When I become the Human Emperor, I will definitely promote you to be the leader."

The two laughed loudly, and Yuyin was a little confused. He couldn't figure out whether they had a good relationship or a bad relationship: "You know each other?"

"We know each other. The Sword Tomb was opened a few days ago. I went to join in the fun and met Lao Bai. Lao Bai, this is Yu Yin, a friend I met in the secret realm."

"I know Yu Yin, Tianyuan Dynasty's genius, hello." With Jiang Li's connection, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin's greetings were no longer as unfamiliar as the nodding acquaintance just now.

Yu Yin was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiastic Bai Hongtu.

"When you were at the Sword Tomb, you were still in the Golden Core stage. Now you are in the Nascent Soul stage. You are practicing very fast." Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li. One of the conditions for becoming a candidate for the Human Emperor is to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"It's rare that you can become a candidate for the Human Emperor. Don't waste your talent. When this test is over, I will introduce you to the master and see if I can let you study in the Dao Sect for a while."

Jiang Li was greatly moved: "Thank you very much."

Bai Hongtu waved his hand: "Corporal Li Xian is the right thing to do."

"roll."

Yu Yin said seriously: "I didn't think carefully. You and I joined forces to kill the enemy in the secret realm. Please be kind to me. If you need it, I can give you a copy of the Tianyuan royal family's explosive skills."

In the secret realm, Yu Yin saw Jiang Li's amazing combat prowess and forgot that he was a casual cultivator with no roots and lack of skills. She only realized this after Bai Hongtu explained it.

"Isn't it an undisclosed secret?" Jiang Li asked cautiously.

"Don't ask any more questions."

"Do you all know each other?" Another voice came, it was Ji Zhi, the last candidate for the Human Emperor.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes at Ji Zhi: "I can see the future with my heavy eyes. I always come here before the teacher comes."

As soon as Ji Zhi arrived, a kind old man appeared in the sky.

Everyone bowed and shouted in unison: "See the Human Emperor."

The seventy-first generation human emperor, Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked at the newly selected candidates for the Human Emperor with a smile, feeling very pleased.

They are all the future of Kyushu.

"There is no other purpose in calling everyone here today. The first thing is to let everyone get to know each other. If you want to become the Human Emperor, you have to go through many tests. We will all have to deal with each other more in the future."

"The second is to test everyone's ability. The secret realm in front of you is an unknown secret realm that I accidentally discovered. Later I will give each of you three wooden tokens. You can compete with each other. If you win once, you can get one wooden token. , whoever gets more wooden cards is the winner."

Everyone found three small wooden plaques around their waists, which could not be put into the storage ring.

Others entered the nameless secret realm one after another, and Jiang Li and the other two were the last to enter.

Before entering, the four of them were stopped by Lu Renhuang.

"Jiang Li, do your best."

A year ago, Jiang Li traveled in the Wu Dynasty and met the bullying outer disciples of the Qingtian Sect. The two sides had a dispute, and happened to meet Lu Renhuang who was visiting privately incognito.

Lu Renhuang admired Jiang Li very much. Later, the two of them ate noodles together on the street, and Jiang Li gave him a few cloves of garlic.

"Bai Hongtu, the immortal told me about you, saying that if the ladder to immortality is still there, you might not be able to become the second Taoist ancestor."

There was another sentence that Lu Renhuang didn't say. The immortal man also told him that if Bai Hongtu didn't like it, he would be beaten if necessary. Daozong had no objection at all.

Lu Renhuang felt strange. He found Bai Hongtu quite pleasing to his eye. He didn't know why the immortal said this.

"Yu Yin, I already understand your life experience. The Human Emperor Palace can help you sever your relationship with the Tianyuan Royal Family."

"Thanks to Lu Renhuang for his kindness, Yu Yin can solve this matter by himself."

"Ji Zhi, your father told me that your double pupil is too powerful and it is impossible to test your true level with the double pupil. I suggest you only use the double pupil during battle."

"yes."

Lu Renhuang said a few words and then let the four people enter the secret realm.

The secret realm is huge and can be found in lakes, jungles and mountains. Once a person enters, it will be difficult to find him again.

"It's like a secret realm left by a certain tribulation period or an immortal. It's so old that even the original function of the secret realm has disappeared."

Ji Zhi analyzed: "To obtain wooden cards, a battle is inevitable. The situation in the secret area is complex. Once the battle occurs, the ability to adapt to the situation will be tested."

Without words, Yu Yin flew directly towards the dense forest without finding any trace. Soon the sound of fighting came from that direction.

"I'll take the first step." Ji Zhi realized the urgency of time and disappeared.

"Originally, we were thinking of four people working together, but why were all the people gone in the blink of an eye?" Jiang Li was a little dissatisfied and had no team spirit at all.

"What's the plan?" Bai Hongtu asked.

Jiang Li told him his plan, and Bai Hongtu nodded frequently, feeling that it was very satisfactory.

Soon, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu also chose to act separately to snatch other people's tokens.

In the secret realm, battles occurred from time to time. The realms of the Human Emperor candidates were all suppressed by Lu Renhuang in the early stage of Yuanying. However, in actual combat, none of them had the same combat power as in the early stage of Yuanying.

Among them, Yu Yin is the most fierce. Once they meet, no matter who the opponent is, they will choose to fight. After winning three games in a row, everyone chooses to avoid Yu Yin's edge. It is not worth wasting energy on Yu Yin.

"Xuanyuan Gang, we meet again. Come, let me see how many of Sword Lord's moves you have mastered." Bai Hongtu raised his sword and chuckled. He already had five tokens on his waist.

In just half an hour, Bai Hongtu had already grabbed two tokens.

Xuanyuan Gang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He possessed sword spirit roots and thought that no one could match his talent in swordsmanship. However, after the battle at the Sword Tomb, he realized that there are people outside the world.

Daozong Walking is well-deserved!

"Come and fight!"

Two swordsman monks fought in a dense forest. Thick trees fell in pieces. Bai Hongtu was superior in skill and defeated Xuanyuan Gang again and got a token.

Bai Hongtu used swordsmanship to fight against the enemy, and even Xuanyuan Gang of the Jiange was defeated by him and took away a wooden sign.

"See you later."

Bai Hongtu rushed to the expected rendezvous point.

"Are you Jiang Li? You just earned your reputation by relying on endorsements, but you are still obedient... I'm going to go and don't hit my storage ring. Do you know how many spiritual stones I spent to buy it from Mount Xumi... my wood Card!"

"If you have an upright fight, don't use the storage ring... don't steal the wooden sign!"

"Wait a minute, I shouldn't wear the storage ring on my chest...don't you know there is a difference between men and women!"

Jiang Li's process of snatching the wooden sign went very smoothly. The only problem was that it aroused too many people's emotions.

I have never seen such a shameless way of playing. I just hit the position of the storage ring without saying a word. While their attention is on the storage ring, I followed the wooden sign.

Jiang Li's actions aroused public outrage, and the victims followed Jiang Li one after another.

"Catch up, don't let this grandson escape!"

Jiang Li ran with all his strength. Looking at the momentum of the group behind him, he suspected that if he took one step slower, he would be pushed to the ground and hammered.

Fortunately, Jiang Li is very experienced in being chased and will not be caught up.

"This grandson is so good at running. Let's spread out and surround him. Our Hehuan Sect has a secret method that allows us to transmit sound over short distances without being discovered!" Meng Youyou, the eldest sister of the Hehuan Sect, directed the other victims.

Everyone felt that what Meng Youyou said was reasonable, and they dispersed to form an encirclement.

The encirclement gradually narrowed, and finally surrounded a lake. This was the meeting point of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

"Want to come?"

"As Bai Hongtu is here, wait a moment and listen to what they are saying."

In terms of fame, Bai Hongtu is definitely the most famous among the candidates for the Human Emperor, and Dao Zong is the strongest among all sects. You can imagine how valuable Dao Zong's walking is.

…

"Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been caught up." Jiang Li gasped, being chased by a genius at the same level naturally required him to use up all his strength.

"Tsk, tsk, you're not very popular."

"Stop talking nonsense, how many wooden tokens did you get?"

Bai Hongtu proudly took out a few wooden signs from his arms: "If you compare the number of wooden signs, you will definitely not be able to beat me... Hey, it fell into the lake!"

By accident, a wooden sign slipped from the palm of his hand and fell into the lake. Just as Bai Hongtu was about to go down to the lake to pick it up, a strange phenomenon appeared.

There were ripples on the calm lake surface, as if there were golden spring water flowing out, holding up the two wooden signs.

"How come there are two pieces!" Bai Hongtu was very surprised.

Jiang Li frowned: "Did your hands slip and two pieces fell in?"

After saying that, Jiang Li also threw down a wooden sign, and a miracle happened. The golden spring water once again lifted up the two wooden signs.

Jiang Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and exclaimed: "The golden spring is gushing out, and everything is in pairs. Could this be the Treasure Lake left by the Treasure Treasure Immortal in ancient legends?"

Bai Hongtu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I remembered that there is a book called "Anecdotes from the Immortal World" in the Daozong Sutra Pavilion, which records the anecdotes and strange things in the Immortal World. There is an earthly immortal in the Immortal World who became an immortal with wealth, named Jubao Immortal. , his cornucopia can copy everything, it’s very strange.”

"The Immortal Jubao was an immortal from 160,000 years ago. He died 60,000 years ago. If this secret realm was left by him, it is reasonable for it to become deserted after 60,000 years."

Jiang Li nodded: "After all, this is the secret realm chosen by Emperor Lu personally. It is normal to have such an origin."

"I am being narrow-minded. I originally thought that the Lu Renhuang wanted us to fight against each other and test our ability to perform on the spot. Now it seems that the competition of knowledge and the ability to explore the secret realm are also a test."

"Lu Renhuang is very thoughtful and cannot just look at the surface."

"you're right."

Jiang Li threw two more wooden signs in, but four wooden signs did not appear, so he had to fish them out.

"It seems that one person can only use the treasure pool once. You and I have no chance. Yu Yin and Ji Zhi don't know this place yet. Let's contact each other separately. They have a lot of wooden cards in their hands that can be copied."

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu separated, but Meng Youyou and others did not stop them.

…

After the two left, Meng Youyou and others looked at the lake, their hearts pounding.

What a good thing.

"This Jiang Li book will be useful if you read it a lot. Who has heard of "Strange Stories from the Immortal Realm"?" Gui Bishan from the Corpse Exorcist Sect asked.

Several people shook their heads.

"It doesn't matter, there are so many books in the world, it's normal if you haven't heard of them. Our sect's classics cannot be compared with those of the Imperial Academy of Zhou Dynasty and the Dao Sect."

"I still need to study more in the future." Meng Youyou made up her mind.

"If we don't talk about this anymore, we'd better throw the wooden sign in quickly."

"Yes, yes, that's the most important thing."

"Jiang Li just proved that a person can only have one chance, so let's all throw the wooden cards in, so we can get the most wooden cards."

"good."

Several candidates for the Human Emperor threw the wooden signs in at once.

The lake surface calmed down for a while, and then the formation under the lake shined, connecting the wooden signs together to form a package shape, jumping out of the water and flying towards Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu who were hiding not far away.

The two of them hugged all the wooden signs and ran away. If they were caught this time, they wouldn't be beaten so lightly.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately realized that they had been cheated.

"Chase! When I catch them, I will strip them of their clothes and hang them from a tree!"

The escape battle began. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu ran desperately, and everyone chased them desperately. They were determined to fight to the death.

At the end of the test, everyone still had not caught up with Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

"Lu Renhuang, help us, they are going to sell us to the Hehuan Sect!" The two of them shouted when they saw Lu Renhuang at the exit.

Lu Renhuang's eyes twitched, he witnessed the whole process.

Bai Hongtu laid out the plan under the lake, and Jiang Li attracted hatred. The two met at the lake, pretending that this was the treasure pool of the Treasure Gathering Immortal, and put on a good show. In order to maximize their interests, everyone must collect all the wooden signs. Throw it out, then the formation is activated, and everyone's wooden cards fall into the hands of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

He finally understood what Xian Weng meant when he said he could fight whenever he wanted.

Not to mention that the candidate for human emperor wants to hit people, he also wants to hit people!

Let you show your ability to adapt to changes in the test. Is your ability a lie?

Even so, Lu Renhuang still protected the two of them behind him, like a hen protecting its chicks.

"Okay, stop making trouble, your skills are not as good as others, please be more careful next time."

Lu Renhuang said this, and everyone could only endure it.

This test was only about rankings and no rewards, so everyone had no actual losses.

But angry.

"And you two, don't make faces to annoy them." Lu Renhuang gave Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu a hard knock. He couldn't stand the two guys making faces behind him.

"Don't do that next time."

The results of the trial were based on the number of wooden cards. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu tied for first place, and Yu Yin ranked third.

Yu Yin frowned slightly, wondering how Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu did it. She kept fighting and winning, so she should be the one with the best results.

"This test is over. I hope everyone can summarize the shortcomings, adjust their mentality, and keep up the good work. This test is just a small warm-up. The next test will be held in a month and we will be disbanded."

Lu Renhuang said the last thing and glared at Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu who were showing off their achievements to Yu Yin and Ji Zhi.

The rules of the next test must be adjusted to prevent them from taking advantage of any loopholes.

…

In the early morning, Commander Liu saw that the lights in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of the Human Emperor's Palace were still on, as if someone had forgotten to extinguish the candles after reading a book late at night until early morning.

"Kong Hu finally wants to read a book?" Commander Liu was delighted. The Sutra Pavilion was full of serious scriptures and Ma Zhuo and his wife would not come.

He walked into the Sutra Pavilion and found Lu Renhuang flipping through the books.

"Palace Master, what are you..."

Lu Renhuang shook his neck: "Oh, it's Commander Liu. The two little bastards Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu said that there was a treasure-gathering immortal recorded in "Strange Stories from the Immortal World". I think they said he had a nose and eyes. It doesn't look like that." It’s fake, but I searched all night and couldn’t find this book or the Treasure-gathering Immortal.”

"Do you think I should go to the Dao Sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion to look for it?"

Commander Liu was silent for a moment and said tentatively: "Maybe, I mean maybe, they even made up "Strange Stories from the Immortal Realm" and Treasure Gathering Immortal."

Lu Renhuang was stunned and said through gritted teeth: "These two brats!"
