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

Piled Thunder Mountain is the highest peak in all of Jiuzhou, located at the border of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, facing the White Marsh Emperor Dynasty. It is shrouded in dark clouds all year round with frequent thunder and lightning. The locals turn pale at its mention and would rather not discuss it.

The higher the cultivation of a cultivator, the more they fear Piled Thunder Mountain.

The Heavenly Tribulation is not only for those who are about to ascend to immortality, but also for those who are about to reach the Body Integration Realm and Transcendance Tribulation Stage. These cultivators too must face the Heavenly Tribulation.

According to ancient tales, Piled Thunder Mountain harbors great fortunes that are not accepted by the Immortal Realm. Powerful beings from the Immortal Realm have set up formations, intending to shatter the mountain with thunder and lightning to break open the hidden fortunes within.

As a result, if a cultivator undergoes Tribulation here, the power of the Tribulation is increased by fifty percent compared to normal. Naturally, the rewards are also correspondingly greater.

Aforementioned were the legends about Piled Thunder Mountain before Jiang Li’s appearance.

After Jiang Li underwent Tribulation for the third time on the mountain, it seemed like he had exhausted all the thunderclouds in Piled Thunder Mountain. Since then, the once fearsome mountain turned serene and clear, contrasting starkly with the fearful tales of the past.

The formidable Piled Thunder Mountain gradually became a subject of casual after-dinner chats.

Nevertheless, Jiang Li still preferred to undergo his Tribulations on Piled Thunder Mountain.

As Jiang Li prepared for his return to his old haunts, Piled Thunder Mountain started buzzing with activity once more. Ji Zhi, accompanied by Ji Kongkong, arrived at the mountain early to find the best viewing spot.

Yu Yin and White Snow Spirit, being closest in proximity, followed closely behind.

Pure Heart Saintess, Wu Zhi, Li Er, Sword Monarch, the Master of the Sky Mechanism Tower, and the Sect Master of the Beast Controlling Sect.. all well-known great cultivators assembled here.

“Grumbling incessantly, Bai Hongtu cursed, “That damn Jiang Li has deliberately chosen this time to undermine me!” and rushed over.

The Immortal Elder, who had been a recluse within his Sealing Self Cave for a long time, left his cave to watch the spectacle.

There was no existing record about the sixteenth Ascension Tribulation.

Holding tightly onto his brush, the head disciple and historian of the Observing Mahayana Sect, Si Nan, began to write, documenting this momentous act.

“In the 4811th year of the Flame Era, after 11 years, the Ascension Tribulation has finally gathered strength, preparing to cross the sixteenth Human Emperor Tribulation…”

The Chairman of Feiyun Commerce Association saw new business opportunities in Piled Thunder Mountain.

“What do you think of us starting a personal insurance for the Heavenly Tribulation?”

“Acquire insurance before undergoing the Tribulation, if you successfully cross it unhurt, good for you! If not, you may also receive substantial compensation.”

“Good idea, I recommend finding someone nearby to test the waters, say Jiang, the Human Emperor.”

“The Human Emperor wouldn’t spend money recklessly.”

“Won’t people beat you up if you doorstep-sell insurance?”

“No worries, we already insured our disciples for personal accidents.”

“…”

While the grand cultivators were engrossed in their endless chats, a tall figure whizzed past them and stood in the sky above Piled Thunder Mountain.

“Look, the Human Emperor, Jiang is here.”

A collective gasp swept through the crowd, save for one individual.

“Dear audiences, as you can see, the Human Emperor, Jiang Li, has already arrived at Piled Thunder Mountain. I’m sure you all will soon witness the heroism of Jiang Li crossing the sixteenth Ascension Tribulation.”

The Master of the Sky Mechanism Tower kept rambling on passionately to a glass ball.

This device was the result of the application of spiritual energy and technology, known as the Five Senses Receiving Mirror.

Just by pouring a small amount of spiritual energy into this magic artifact, images from far-off places could be projected onto the screen of the crystal ball.

Under the vigorous promotion by the Sky Mechanism Tower, they finally developed the Five Senses Receiving Mirror. The master of the Sky Mechanism Tower personally intervened, transforming dozens of planets into satellites to relay signals, ensuring that the Five Senses Receiving Mirror could be used everywhere in the Jiuzhou Continent without any delay.

Even the four seas on the other side were no exception.

The Sky Mechanism Tower went to such lengths merely to monopolize the market and establish the Five Senses Receiving Mirror as a household name.

As it turned out, they were successful.

Jiang Li had spent three months in the Quenching Heart World. Given the time flow ratio of one to five, a year and three months had passed in Jiuzhou.

In these fifteen months, the Sky Mechanism Tower had had ample time to popularize the Five Senses Receiving Mirror.

Before Commander Liu could inform him, Jiang Li readily identified what the Master of the Sky Mechanism Tower was doing, as well as the nature of the so-called Five Senses Receiving Mirror.

This device was essentially a television, albeit an upgraded version, providing a more immersive experience to its users.

He flew next to the Master of Sky Mechanism Tower, smiling at the crystal ball with a reassurance that touched people’s hearts.

“Good afternoon, everyone. Today is a day worth celebrating.”

“I have created a cultivation technique that can help a mortal to achieve the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation. Simple and easy to understand, this technique will be introduced to you all very soon.”

“I will make it through my sixteenth Ascension Tribulation, as my most sincere way of offering blessings to all of you.”

Upon hearing this, both the cultivators who had come to watch near Piled Thunder Mountain, as well as ordinary people watching through their Five Senses Receiving Mirror, were astounded.

The Human Emperor Jiang had really invented such a cultivation technique?

Jiang Li did not say more, leaving the crowd with a view of his mysterious silhouette as he soared towards the peak of Piled Thunder Mountain.

He pointed at the sky with one hand, releasing all his self-restraints. The once clear sky above Piled Thunder Mountain suddenly turned threatening, as if furious deities were about to punish the mortals of the Lower Realm.

Thunderclouds condensed into an entire world, mirroring Jiuzhou perfectly but in reverse.

The reflection of Jiuzhou was formed from lightning, manifesting imminent danger everywhere. Even a humble house in it contained hundreds of sparks of lightning; not to mention an entire continent.

The sight sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

“This is much more potent than the Old Buddha’s third Ascension Tribulation,” commented Li Er, keeping his voice low in fear that the Tribulation might notice them and start raining down on their heads instead.

He felt that if even one of those bolts of lightning were to strike him, he would cease to exist.

This was already beyond something a mortal could endure.

“Of course. After the second Ascension Tribulation, later Tribulations would serve to urge those who had crossed the Ascension Tribulation to hurry to the Immortal Realm. Refusal to do so would result in death. The more times one is subject to Ascension Tribulation, the stronger it becomes,” someone explained.

“However strong the sixteenth Ascension Tribulation is, it won’t matter to Jiang Li,” added Bai Hongtu, drawing acclaim from the crowd.

The Immortal Elder observed the looming Tribulation calmly and said slowly, “Before the Ascension Pathway was severed, very few people underwent consecutive Ascension Tribulations. After the Ascension Pathway was severed, I have spent nine thousand years observing and combining historical facts to make a rough estimation of the nature of Ascension Tribulations.

“Please enlighten us, Elder.”

“The interval between Ascension Tribulations varies from one thousand to three thousand years, depending on the individual, with the maximum being once every three thousand years.”

“This is the lifeline provided by the Ascension Tribulation for those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to continuously seek strengthening methods in the one to three-thousand-year interval. The faster a cultivator in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage grows, the shorter the interval between Ascension Tribulations.”

“However, most cultivators in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage face Ascension Tribulations almost once every three thousand years. For example, Xumi Buddha and Commander Liu.”

“These were the rules of Ascension Tribulation before Jiang Li appeared.”

“After the appearance of Jiang Li, his speed of growth surpassed the reaction speed of the Ascension Tribulation. The Tribulation could only come once every ten years at the fastest.”

“Yet, in those ten years, Jiang Li could always grow stronger than the subsequent Ascension Tribulation.”

“This created a vicious cycle. Once the Ascension Tribulation lagged behind Jiang Li, it would always lag behind, resulting in the Tribulation having no pressure on Jiang Li.”

“I see. Elder, could you tell us what kind of Tribulation the Human Emperor Jiang is undergoing this time?”

The Immortal Elder seemed a little hesitant.

“It feels similar to the Tribulation faced by Dao Zu when he was approved to the position of Chaos Ultimate.”

“What?”
