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

In the ancient city, two figures walked side by side, communicating with their divine senses.

“Qin Luan, you unlucky bastard, why did you choose this world?”

“Don’t blame me, Li Fugui, I was here in this world first, and you followed!”

Seven Kill Taoist snorted coldly, not discussing this issue further: “Why didn’t you bring Song Ying and the others?”

“Coming to an unknown world, I have no confidence in protecting them. What about you, why are the little princesses of the merpeople and South Jiao Dragon Tribe who were always by your side not here?”

“Same reason.” Seven Kill Taoist shrugged his shoulders, not very eager to talk about this topic.

Within a few days of returning to Jiuzhou from the Ten Thousand Words World, Rain Little Meng and Li Jiaojiao were constantly attacking him day and night. If not for his strong will, he would have already succumbed to their charm.

“It’s been a year since Mr. Jiang destroyed the Immortal Realm, we have finally passed the test of the Ten Thousand Words World.”

Qin Luan felt emotional. The communication in the Ten Thousand Words World was blocked, so they knew nothing about the destruction of the Immortal Realm. When he returned to Jiuzhou and saw the bustling inter-world travel activities and learned that the Immortal Realm was no longer the target for cultivators, he felt like he was in a different lifetime.

After Qin Luan rested in Jiuzhou for a few days, Jiang Li assigned him a new task, just like the other Human Emperor candidates, the task was to explore and rescue other worlds.

At the mention of this, Seven Kill Taoist became noticeably excited and sneakily pulled out a palm-sized stele to show off: “Look, this is the reward given to me by the Human Emperor, the real Seven Kill Stele.”

Qin Luan scoffed at the Seven Kill Stele: “It’s an Immortal Artifact, without a spirit intelligence. With your cultivation level at the Divinity Transformation Stage, you can barely use it like a brick.”

“You’re just jealous.”

“Not at all.”

“According to the coordinates and corresponding world names given by Elder Fanti Tower, this world should be called the Xuanming World. Have you noticed that although this world is a cultivation world, the spiritual energy is scarce, not suitable for cultivation, and is far less than Jiuzhou.”

“Indeed. There’s a business association ahead. Let’s go have a look.” Seven Kill Taoist also noticed this. According to the local language, their location is a cultivation city, which should be quite abundant in spiritual energy.

But from their observation, the spiritual energy here is so scarce that it cannot even support the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

You can imagine just how scarce the spiritual energy in other places might be.

The two entered the business association and found that the spirit stones in the Xuanming World were extremely valuable. In Jiuzhou, gold and silver can be exchanged for spirit stones, but in the Xuanming World, spirit stones are strategic materials, they are treasures for cultivators and absolutely will not be exchanged for useless gold.

“The principle of alchemy is the same as in Jiuzhou, but the steps are more complicated. From melting the medicine to condensing the dan, it has to go through at least eighteen processes. Each step is for the purpose of maximizing the utilization of spiritual energy, even the residue of the medicine is refined into waste dan.”

“Waste dan has a market here too.”

Qin Luan analyzed, he knew a bit about alchemy.

Pill Masters in Jiuzhou never refine the herbal residues into waste dan; it’s too much hassle and it’d be easier to feed the residues to pigs to improve the quality of pork.

After touring around, Seven Kill Taoist asked the shop owner: “Why don’t you have any Spirit Gathering Array here?”

The shopkeeper’s face changed immediately, and after making sure no one was around, he lowered his voice and said: “Sir, the Spirit Gathering Array can gather spiritual energy and it’s controlled by the government office, not for sale.”

“However, since you asked, you must know the value of the Spirit Gathering Array. As long as you have spirit stones, we at Tianbao Pavilion can get anything.”

Seven Kill Taoist was speechless. The Spirit Gathering Array in Jiuzhou is just printed on the appendix of the “Cultivation Guide”, but here it’s like a forbidden magic array.

Seven Kill Taoist had plenty of spirit stones. He took out more than a dozen medium-grade spirit stones and bought the Spirit Gathering Array. Just one glance, and you could tell that it was just an ordinary Spirit Gathering Array.

Upon leaving the business association, they took out a notebook titled “Record of Exploring Ten Thousand Realms”.

Cultivators who travel to other worlds have to record their daily observations. When they return to Jiuzhou, they must leave a photocopy at the Imperial Palace.

Qin Luan wrote: “Xuanming World, continent world. Historically, four immortals appeared, inferred that their highest achievement is all Earth Immortal.”

“The feature of this world: scarce spiritual energy.”

“According to the survey, the Xuanming World was originally abundant in spiritual energy. Every time an immortal ascended, a large part of the spiritual energy was lost. When the fourth immortal ascended, nearly all of the spiritual energy in the Xuanming World was absorbed.”

“The cultivators of the Xuanming World believe that cultivation requires severing worldly ties and abandoning the past. The four immortals also held this view. After their ascension, they no longer had contact with the Xuanming World, and they never returned any spiritual energy.”

“Afterwards, the Xuanming World entered the Age of Dark Spirit, which means the spiritual energy is scarce, and the path to cultivation is obscure and difficult.”

“Derived from the scarcity of spiritual energy are the following features: cultivating as much as possible to ensure that the spiritual energy is not wasted; mortal cities and cultivation cities are divided by spiritual energy, very distinct. Cultivation cities absorb all the spiritual energy from the mortal cities for cultivation; however, even such cultivation cities still lack spiritual energy. Spirit stones, Spirit Gathering Arrays, etc. are regulated items and are not allowed to circulate without permission…”

“The initial speculation is that the scarcity of spiritual energy in Xuanming World has nothing to do with the Immortal Realm.”

Qin Luan closed the notebook and saw that people from all around were flocking to the city center, their faces gloomy, and some were sobbing.

“What happened?” Qin Luan frowned.”

“Let’s go and see.” Seven Kill Taoist said, then headed towards the city center, and Qin Luan followed suit.

…

In the city center was an array constructed of fresh blood, it seemed like ghostly wails could be heard from it, full of blood and an ominous sense.

There were five Gold Core Period cultivators in the city, all of them here now. Among the five, one was at the peak of the Gold Core Stage, ranked first among the five, and was also the City Lord of this Cultivation City.

In the center of the blood array, there were several children bound together. They were too young, not even old enough to practice cultivation.

These children were tied up, drugged, and fell asleep on the ground.

The people of the city were gathered around the bloody array, silent, with no smiles on their faces.

“Master told me, this is a magic array, used for breakthrough cultivation!” Seven Kill Taoist whispered, it was his first time seeing a demon cultivator.

Qin Luan’s face wasn’t looking good either.

“My child, my child!” A woman in the crowd completely broke down, crying loudly as she rushed towards the array, trying to take her child away.

The woman was a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, she exploded with all her might, trying to snatch people publicly. The bystanders were not weak either, several people pounced to subdue the woman.

“Sister Zhang, we know you’re suffering, but we all agreed in advance that if anyone’s child is chosen, that child must be sacrificed. If your child is not sacrificed, then another child must replace yours. Whose child do you want to use to replace your own?”

“Everyone will remember your child. Every Qingming festival and Ghost Festival, we will burn paper for your child.”
