The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhang Lingfeng returned to the Wang family following the usual route.

He learned that Wang Lin had returned and broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, so he took the initiative to greet her, only to find that Wang Lin had finally broken through and was consolidating her cultivation.

Zhang Lingfeng had no choice but to return to the courtyard of his direct disciples as if nothing had happened.

During the process, he saw a large number of Wang family executives flying towards the spot where Wang Dalong had fallen.

Zhang Lingfeng also saw Wang Ningzhi, and Wang Ningzhi also saw Zhang Lingfeng, but before they could greet each other, they went out with the Wang family experts.

Zhang Lingfeng recalled the process of killing Wang Dalong without leaving any clues. He destroyed everything that shouldn't have been left behind, so the Wang family shouldn't be able to find any evidence.

Even if some areas weren't cleaned up properly, the Wang family wouldn't be able to find him and believe he was the murderer.

In short, Zhang Lingfeng kept a calm mindset.

She lived next to Wang Ningzhi.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

The days passed like this.

The Wang family had a powerful individual who used his supernatural abilities to calculate Wang Dalong's karma in an attempt to find the murderer. Unfortunately, Zhang Lingfeng was a Soul Yuan Master, and he was extremely decisive and swift in killing Wang Dalong, leaving no evidence behind.

Causal reasoning was hampered in the process.

It has not been successful yet.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three months, Zhang Lingfeng has not left the direct descendants' area. Because Wang Ningzhi is not there, and having become a Golden Immortal cultivator, Zhang Lingfeng can only get less than two hundred "lying down points" every day.

This is because the Wang family's direct descendants' area is shrouded by a powerful cultivation array, which makes cultivation here twice as effective.

To gain more "lying down" points, Zhang Lingfeng needs to find ways to get guidance from others or receive a "willpower empowerment," etc.

"The Golden Immortal Cultivation Method requires 8,000 'lying down' points to exchange for one value. At the current rate, if I want to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I will need nearly 500,000 'lying down' points."

This would take at least nine years.

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

Before he attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Zhang Lingfeng could sense danger at any time. Only after attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and becoming a fourth-level Soul Yuan Master would he have the strength to protect himself.

The fact that Wang Dalong could call him by name means that the people from the Shadow Alliance must have been in contact with Wang Dalong.

Zhang Lingfeng was worried that the Shadow Alliance would suspect him of Wang Dalong's death, and if the Wang family investigated through this clue, he would be in trouble.

Therefore, it will take another nine years for Zhang Lingfeng to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which is relatively slow for him.

Not long after.

He sensed the fluctuations in Wang Ningzhi's aura.

At this moment, Wang Ningzhi's courtyard has been completely renovated.

After Wang Ningzhi attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, a large area nearby, equivalent to the entire ancient Blue Star, became his territory. Zhang Lingfeng's courtyard was also located within this area.

Having been incorporated into Wang Ningzhi's property and becoming Wang Ningzhi's attendant, Zhang Lingfeng received some rewards during this period.

Not only do you not have to take on dangerous missions, you can also receive some resource subsidies.

"Teacher Wong."

Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly bowed.

"You've made a breakthrough."

Wang Ningzhi was surprised.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng's aura was fluctuating at the level of a celestial being.

She brought Zhang Lingfeng into her park, and in less than ten years, Zhang Lingfeng has actually advanced from the fourth level of Earth Immortal to the second level of Heaven Immortal.

It's truly baffling.

"I have been cultivating by Teacher Wang's side. Teacher Wang's breakthrough this time has also brought me a great opportunity. I don't know why, but the calmer my mind is, the faster I feel my strength is advancing. Before I knew it, I broke through to the Earth Immortal level and successfully proved the second level of the Heavenly Immortal level."

Zhang Lingfeng said with a grateful expression.

He can continue to conceal his true strength.

However, one cannot hide one's strength too well, because Wang Ningzhi is now a Great Luo Golden Immortal. If one hides one's strength too deeply over a long period of time, Wang Ningzhi will gradually discover one's true strength.

If I were to become a second-level Celestial Immortal now, on the one hand, the other party would think that it was impossible for me to be stronger than I am now, and they would no longer check my strength. On the other hand, the other party would also think that I am a useful person.

Perhaps it was to give me individual guidance in my cultivation, help me gain more "lying down" points, and at the same time protect me more attentively. In short, as Wang Ningzhi's person, I couldn't let Wang Ningzhi lose face. If the other party broke through, I would also break through a little bit along with him, showing that I was trying my best to catch up.

It makes one feel that the master is good, and so is his servant.

As the saying goes, a cowardly soldier is a cowardly individual, but a cowardly general leads to a cohort of cowards.

"very good."

Wang Ningzhi scanned Zhang Lingfeng with her divine sense and found that Zhang Lingfeng's immortal essence had indeed reached the level of the second level of Heavenly Immortal. She could even vaguely sense that Zhang Lingfeng's immortal essence was still slightly hidden and had not been fully revealed.

It seems that he has encountered his own destiny.

However, she didn't think Zhang Lingfeng could be that strong right now. Although he was hiding his strength, his limit should be around the third level of the Celestial Immortal realm.

In short, she was very satisfied with Zhang Lingfeng's change in strength.

"It's because Teacher Wang is blessed with good fortune. By the way, Teacher Wang, where have you been lately? I saw many high-ranking members of the Wang family going out, and I vaguely heard that some important members of the Wang family had died."

Zhang Lingfeng inquired.

"Yes, the dead man was Wang Dalong. He was completely destroyed, his body and soul scattered."

Wang Ningzhi looked at Zhang Lingfeng and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng's expression involuntarily changed, first showing astonishment, then surprise, his lips almost curling into a smile. But realizing the problem, he quickly suppressed his smile and feigned grief, saying, "Ah, this... how could such a thing happen? Young Master Wang is a direct descendant of the Wang family! Who would dare kill him? Who could kill him?"

“I don’t know for now either. The clan elders are trying to use their supernatural powers to find the murderer. I know your relationship with Wang Dalong. I know what you’re thinking. If you weren’t so weak, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. Otherwise, according to the clan records, you also went to the black market back then, and you are also a suspect.”

Wang Ningzhi said.

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng's uncontrollable joy, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Lingfeng, but she did not tell him everything. The family originally wanted to investigate Zhang Lingfeng, but she vouched for him, believing that if Zhang Lingfeng had any problems, she could find out by investigating herself.

She has now confirmed that Wang Dalong's death had nothing to do with Zhang Lingfeng.

First of all, Zhang Lingfeng's strength is insufficient.

Zhang Lingfeng didn't have that kind of guts, etc.

Secondly, according to the family's supernatural abilities, the person who killed Wang Dalong was likely two people: a Golden Immortal and a Soul Master. It was only through their combined efforts that Wang Dalong was killed in an instant.

Traces of a communication array were also found at the scene, indicating that the communication had been concealed.

It was clearly premeditated.

The plan is to kill Wang Dalong during this stage. Considering that she has just attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the several families in Zixiao City will inevitably take action. As a top-tier talent among the direct descendants, Wang Dalong will also have the opportunity to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the future.

Perhaps the other families killed Wang Dalong first in order to prevent the Wang family from rising to power.

Currently, the Wang family's higher-ups are suspicious and have pointed the finger at several rival families in Zixiao City. They do not believe that there are any daring cultivators nearby who would dare to attack Wang Dalong.

Moreover, there is a powerful Soul Master inside.

Which Soul Master isn't high and mighty?

Soul Masters who have undergone the Tribulation Cultivation have almost never seen one.

If it wasn't one of those families, then who could it be? How come even supernatural divination couldn't find them?
"I went to the black market and brought back some things. This breakthrough was extremely difficult, and I need to consolidate my cultivation."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Well, from now on, cultivate diligently. With me protecting you, no one will dare to harm you. In the near future, you may be subjected to supernatural powers and spells, but don't worry, it's just routine family checks. In any case, Wang Dalong is a direct descendant of the Wang family, and the family will definitely find the culprit. Even if there are Soul Master experts among them, this matter cannot be left unresolved. Perhaps at that time, you will have to go on an expedition with me to help the family eliminate troubles. Your breakthrough in strength at this time is just right."

Wang Ningzhi reminded him.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhang Lingfeng said respectfully.

He was utterly shocked. The Wang family hadn't given up. Supernatural powers had descended upon him. Was this a routine check-up, or was it some kind of calculation?
The commotion has escalated so much; the Wang family is determined to get to the bottom of this.

Come to think of it, Wang Ningzhi finally attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which was precisely the time for the Wang family to rise to prominence. Wang Dalong was killed silently. If the Wang family does not pursue the matter to the end, I'm afraid more direct descendants will die or be injured in the future.

It's just that the one who killed the enemy king, Da Long, was himself, not any other hostile forces within Zixiao City!

Zhang Lingfeng sensed something was wrong.

It's not hard to tell from Wang Ningzhi's words that the divine power descending upon the Wang family this time will surpass that of the past. If one's strength doesn't break through or one's soul essence doesn't increase, one might be exposed.

If Wang Ningzhi knew that he was the one who killed Wang Dalong, would the other party kill him directly?

Ultimately, to the other party, he was just an outsider and could not be compared with Wang Dalong at all. At the critical moment, Wang Ningzhi would definitely stand on the side of the Wang family and would not break ties with the family for the sake of an outsider like him.

Unexpectedly, before the Shadow Alliance's troubles were resolved, such a huge problem has arisen.

Zhang Lingfeng was somewhat worried.

I need to find a way to improve my strength so that I can successfully avoid these two crises.

I wonder how Little Golden Dragon is doing now. If I were in danger, would he be able to come back and help me?

"Your strength has just broken through. From now on, follow me in your cultivation and bathe in my Daoist arts, which will help you effectively consolidate your cultivation."

Wang Ningzhi said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Lingfeng nodded again.

After Wang Ningzhi attained the Dao and became a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he became extremely busy, spending every day comprehending the Dao.

Her territory was vast, equivalent to an ancient planet, while Zhang Lingfeng's territory was equivalent to the Southern City within that planet.

He was constantly immersed in Wang Ningzhi's Taoist teachings.

Although he wasn't sitting face-to-face with Wang Ningzhi, he could still sense the fluctuations in Wang Ningzhi's aura.

The other party can also detect his every move.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Lingfeng asked, "Teacher Wang, what is Daoist magic? When I was consulting in the black market, I heard people say that the Daoist magic of a Golden Immortal is only a preliminary control over Daoist magic. Only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, that is, someone like you, can make Daoist magic take shape."

“There are countless Dao methods, each different. You can think of it as the power after the laws have been transformed, similar to the power of the Heavenly Dao.”

Wang Ningzhi explained.

"Then how... do you comprehend the Dao?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked again.

"First, one must possess sufficient immortal essence to withstand the blessing of the Dao. The Dao is omnipresent in heaven and earth, in the body, and in the soul. How to obtain it is uncertain."

However, once your immortal essence reaches 1500.0, you can attempt to access Daoist techniques, which is still quite far off for you.

Wang Ningzhi said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Wang. Are there no cultivation methods on the market that can help practitioners obtain the Dao?"

I always felt that the awakening of Daoist techniques was like when I first encountered the first major cultivation system, opening up the eight levels of Dharma forms in terms of skin, flesh, bones, internal organs, qi, and spirit. Once your combat power reaches a certain point, you can try to open up the corresponding Dharma form's power, but there are no techniques involved.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but say.

Wang Ningzhi knew that Zhang Lingfeng came from the lower world. The cultivation system of the lower world had a very low starting point, unlike the beings of the upper world, whose physical bodies were far superior to those of cultivators in the lower world due to the tempering of the laws of heaven and the power of the world. Their cultivation started from the third or even the fourth major cultivation system.

"Roughly the same.

"But the Daoist cultivation guide you mentioned, we do indeed possess, and my Wang family also has it. However, without sufficient immortal energy and physical strength, even if one can comprehend the Daoist techniques, one cannot bear their power."

Wang Ningzhi said calmly.

"If I am fortunate enough to attain the Golden Immortal realm in the future, will Teacher Wang help me master the Daoist arts?"

Zhang Lingfeng inquired.

"Yes, you should focus on your cultivation and stop messing around all day."

Wang Ningzhi reminded him.

She knew that Zhang Lingfeng's attitude of cultivating without any worldly strife was very good, but he couldn't just not show any seriousness in his cultivation. Surely, he couldn't continue on this path and become a Golden Immortal in the future with such an attitude!
After successfully attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Wang Ningzhi clearly realized that cultivation cannot be done half-heartedly. Some people with great talent can indeed have a sudden enlightenment and gain powerful boosts.

But this is one in a million.

Zhang Lingfeng's indifferent attitude towards worldly affairs might work under my protection, but if he were to break away from me in the future, he wouldn't go very far.

"Yes!"

Zhang Lingfeng nodded; he was playing Gomoku (five-in-a-row) with himself.

Wang Ningzhi observed it carefully and found it to be a simple game with very simple techniques. Although there were many variations, he, being a Great Immortal, could predict all the subsequent steps at a glance.

However, Zhang Lingfeng was having a great time.

However, everyone has a different attitude towards cultivation, and this breakthrough was also related to Zhang Lingfeng's attitude towards cultivation, which triggered her enlightenment.

Unbeknownst to her, Zhang Lingfeng's soul power had helped her at a crucial moment.

But she could vaguely sense that just as she was about to achieve enlightenment, a force in the darkness gave her a push, enabling her to grasp that response, successfully achieve enlightenment, and thus attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Although it was somewhat strange, Wang Ningzhi did not think that Zhang Lingfeng could help her at that time or help her attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. After all, there was an insurmountable gap between Zhang Lingfeng's strength, both then and now.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference.
