BXBX NOVEL Chapter 567: 566: Mahayana Realm Complete Fulfillment
Everyone used the Remote Communication Talisman to discuss significant matters.
Bai Hongtu sat in the middle, his hands crossed as he scanned the crowd, and smoothly declared, “I declare the eleventh session of the Second Campaign Against Jiang Li officially underway.”
“Please confirm the identity of the monks around you and make sure Jiang Li has not slipped in.”
Bai Hongtu, a cautious man, had been caught off guard during the first Campaign Against Jiang Li when the cunning Jiang Li sneaked in. This kind of incident must not happen again.
Noisy sounds of men and women playing away could be heard.
“Dream River Emperor, Emperor Wei, stop bringing disciples of the Union Sect to these high-level meetings!”
Dream River Emperor and Emperor Wei quickly dressed and emerged from the same room, leaving a disciple from the Union Sect inside.
Bai Hongtu ignored this little farce and continued presiding over the meeting: “Now, the representative of the imperial dynasty, Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou, is invited to speak.”
Lazy and listless, Ji Zhi lies there, dispirited: “What to say? The Zhou Dynasty has no idea how to defeat Jiang Li. I suggest you look for someone else.”
“Ji Zhi, be mindful of your attitude. This is a serious meeting. You have to take it seriously.”
“Oh.”
Ji Zhi sat up straight and said seriously: “What to say? The Zhou Dynasty has no clue about how to defeat Jiang Li now. I suggest you look for someone else.”
Bai Hongtu turned to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin said, “I am cultivating tirelessly, aiming to reach the Mahayana Realm as soon as possible.”
Bai Hongtu expressed high praise for Yu Yin: “Good, while Yu Yin’s method is somewhat foolish, his unfearing hardship attitude is worth learning.”
Yu Yin squinted his eyes slightly, and coldly stared at Bai Hongtu.
The Sui Emperor said, “I’ve seen a method in a comic from a different world that relies on the vitality of people from all over to form an energy bullet, which can defeat all enemies.”
“Dear Sui Emperor, before mentioning this method, please think about where the Human Emperor’s strength came from.”
“Does anyone else have a plan against Jiang Li… White Marsh Emperor, what does that banner you’re hanging at the back read?” Bai Xuelin and Bai Snow Spirit were munching on grapes and continuing the meeting, a banner hung behind them.
The banner read: The eleventh session of the Second Campaign Against Jiang Li (statue).
Bai Snow Spirit twisted her head to look at the banner and counter-questioned: “Is there any problem? Can we break Jiang Li’s statue now?”
“Don’t look down on me, people change. How hard can breaking Jiang Li’s statue be?”
Bai Hongtu scoffed, tossing out a shattered statue, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
It was obviously a statue of Jiang Li!
The Sword Lord who was sharpening his swords, Li Er who were staring at pictures of monster transformations, Yu Yin who was pondering how to break through the Mahayana realm, and the old Dragon King who was deciding what to eat for dinner – all of them perked up.
No one knew that Bai Hongtu had shattered a statue of Human Emperor Jiang Li that was theoretically impossible to destroy!
That’s earth-shattering.
As the disciples who explored the different worlds returned, the higher-ups learned how sturdy Jiang Li’s statue was – beyond what a Heavenly Immortal can destroy.
This literally rewrote the science of materials.
Saintess Pure Heart knitted her brows slightly and asked, “Why do I feel that this statue isn’t like Jiang Li’s?”
Bai Hongtu thought that Pure Heart comment was biased, he repaired the statue: “What you’re saying, this statue obviously has seventy percent likeness to Jiang Li.”
“Hmm?”
Bai Hongtu explained, “I found that the bigger the difference between the resemblance of the statue and the real face of Jiang Li, the hardiness of the statue would drop correspondingly.”
“Now I’ve successfully shattered a statue that is seventy percent similar to Jiang Li. The next step is eighty percent, ninety percent, a hundred percent. Defeating Jiang Li is just around the corner!”
Sect Hierarch Dong Zhongren said, “I believe Bai Hongtu, you might have misunderstood the term ‘just around the corner’.”
Everyone suddenly returned to their listless state.
Bai Hongtu stood up and appealed to the crowd, “Fellow cultivators, ever since Jiang Li ventured into other worlds, we’ve been holding small meetings every three days and major ones every five, all to pool our knowledge and devise methods to counter Jiang Li, but to no avail.”
“Nowadays, with Jiang Li’s return to the nine provinces, he almost caught me under the hawthorn tree. Fortunately, I was quick-witted, not only did I devise a plan to make Jiang Li drop the event, but I also made him owe me ten thousand top-quality Spirit Stones!”
“Opportunities to gather like this are dwindling; we should cherish every session.”
Hearing the decrease in frequency of such meetings, everyone perked up.
“Could it be that so many of you can’t think of a way to deal with Jiang Li?”
Bai Snow Spirit interrupted, “It’s not really our fault that we can’t come up with a plan. As I recall, the old Human Emperor once said that the world’s wisdom amounts to eight bushels, and you and Jiang Li take up a full stone, leaving the world’s cultivators in debt by two bushels.”
Bai Hongtu waved his hand dismissively, “We can’t take the old Human Emperor’s words at face value.”
Ji Zhi followed, “Should we take none of Bai Hongtu’s words at face value?”
Wu Zhi hesitated, then said, “Bai, sir, it’s not that we don’t want to think of solutions. The thing is, this Jiang, sir, is just too powerful and against the heavenly order. Any countermeasures are useless in front of his absolute strength.”
As Wu Zhi gained more and more knowledge from the Dao ancestor, he increasingly realized how terrifying and against the rules Jiang Li’s existence was.
“Buddha, it should not be understood that way.”
Bai Hongtu offered gentle persuasion, “Just think about it, Jiang Li is only in the Mahayana Realm, he has no room for progress, right?”
“And isn’t it the case that after he weathered his fifteenth Transcendence Tribulation, there was no further movement?”
“This implies that his power has already peaked.”
“Jiang Li is running in circles, while we are advancing bravely. The better party is obvious, the final victory will definitely belong to us!”
Bai Hongtu analyzed in a formal tone, “Now, Jiang Li’s realm should be the grand completion of the Mahayana Realm, he has reached his limit.”
Just as Bai Hongtu was about to say something more, Jiang Li connected through the Remote Communication Talisman to this mysterious space.
“Pure Heart, I need to inform you about something. Uh, so many of you are here?”
“Well, then, I might as well tell you all, to save me the trouble of notifying you one by one.”
“I’m about to weather my sixteenth Transcendence Tribulation. Those who want to observe can come to Piled Thunder Mountain beforehand and secure a spot.”
After Jiang Li disconnected the Remote Communication Talisman, the mysterious space fell silent.
“Sect Master Bai, is this what you call ‘the grand completion of the Mahayana Realm’?”
Bai Hongtu was all calm and composed, “Everyone, don’t panic, this is all within my expectations. This is Jiang Li cultivating to the second grand completion stage of the Mahayana Realm.”
“…”
Everyone scattered in a fluster, all rushing to Piled Thunder Mountain to grab a spot.
Only Ji Zhi wasn’t in a hurry, he came over to mock Bai Hongtu.
“Why bother defeating the current Jiang Li? When I reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, I will traverse the river of time to defeat the Jiang Li of the past.”
“Why aren’t you going to Piled Thunder Mountain to secure a spot?”
Ji Zhi revealed the scenery behind him, it was clearly Piled Thunder Mountain.
He had seen Jiang Li’s notice a long time ago, occupying the best viewing spot before anyone else.
“Learn more about the Way of Time, it’s quite useful.”
“Get lost.”
