The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

After talking with Bao Zhiqi, Zhang Lingfeng entered the small world of Immortal Emperor Wangfu again and sat in front of the statue of Immortal Emperor Wangfu.

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the information on the panel.

Lying flat value: 42

Mysterious Immortal Essence Cultivation Method: (47.7/100)

Immortal Essence: 7127.9
Level Four Soul Essence Cultivation Method: Part 2 (1/100)

Soul element: 916
By sitting in front of the statue of Emperor Wangfu every day and playing cards, Zhang Lingfeng can earn 5,000 "lying down" points daily. In two years, this will be enough for him to accumulate 4 million "lying down" points.

The exchange ratio for the lower part of the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method is as follows: 10,000 Lying Flat Points can be exchanged for one value, and one value can be exchanged for 6.0 Soul Essence Volume.

With one million points of "lying down" value, you can upgrade the lower part of the fourth-level Soul Essence Cultivation Method to perfection. At that time, your Soul Essence volume will exceed 1200.0, reaching 1516.0, and you can become a fifth-level Soul Essence Master as you wish.

The exchange rate for the Xuanxian Immortal Essence Cultivation Method is 40,000 lying flat value to 1, meaning one value can be exchanged for 48.9 Immortal Essence.

In other words, if Zhang Lingfeng successfully accumulates 4 million "lying down" points within two years, he can become a Level 5 Soul Master and even a Celestial Venerable.

His Taoist name is Lingfeng Immortal Lord.

At that time, not only could the Wang family be ensured not to be bullied in the Alliance Starfield, but they would also not have to worry about whether they would have any means of defense if they were assassinated by the Shadow Alliance and Xue Bingkun's people.

When Zhang Lingfeng first ascended to the Upper World, he thought that becoming an Earth Immortal would give him the ability to protect himself. Later, he discovered that he had to become a Celestial Immortal, and eventually even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even now, as a Nine Heavens Immortal, Zhang Lingfeng still hasn't found a sense of security.

But it was this sense of crisis that made Zhang Lingfeng decide to lie low and do nothing. He ignored everyone's gaze and spent his days sitting in front of the statue of Emperor Wangfu playing cards alone.

Day after day, the playing cards in his hand were shuffled again and again.

"King of Spades, Queen of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds," he murmured, dividing the cards into three groups and playing against himself.

The powerful immortals around them were already used to Zhang Lingfeng's eccentricity, and some even bet on how long he could last before giving up this boring game.

"The thirty-third day."

Zhang Lingfeng silently counted the days in his mind.

He earns around 5,000 "lying down" points every day, and the number on his panel has now reached 585,000.

According to the exchange ratio of the lower part of the fourth-level Soul Essence Cultivation Method, these 58.5 lying flat values ​​can allow Zhang Lingfeng to obtain 351.0 Soul Essence.

If your Soul Essence value exceeds 1200.0, you can become a Level 5 Soul Essence Master.

However, Zhang Lingfeng was not in a hurry to increase his Soul Essence value. Once the value increased, the daily "lying down" points he would receive from sitting here would no longer be five thousand.

It might become three thousand, or even two thousand.

He continued to lie still to increase his strength. In any case, the Alliance's strange actions in the Alliance Starfield were difficult for him to adapt to, and even disgusting.

However, one thing must be admitted: Zhang Lingfeng and the Wang family can be safe here.

At least for now, there is no danger to their lives.

Therefore, there is no need to rush to improve your strength.

It's safest to wait until you've accumulated enough "lying down" points and have no choice but to take action before improving your strength.

Ma Qingqing has been in seclusion.

However, she also separated a strand of her divine sense to observe every move in the Alliance Starfield, and she would appear immediately if Zhang Lingfeng was in danger.

She already knew that the alliance was trying to trap Zhang Lingfeng by targeting the Wang family, and she thought that Zhang Lingfeng would come to her for help.

After all, she is a level 5 Soul Master, and it would be easier for her than for Zhang Lingfeng to help the Wang family improve their strength and make the Wang family more valuable in the hands of the alliance.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng never came to find her.

Instead, he spent all his time sitting in front of the statue of Immortal Emperor Wangfu, playing cards. After spending so much time with Zhang Lingfeng, Ma Qingqing also knew about Zhang Lingfeng's lifestyle.

This guy was previously shrouded in the aura of the divine dragon, so his cultivation level changed very quickly. It seems that he can improve his strength rapidly without much cultivation.

But now that Little Golden Dragon isn't by his side, how could Zhang Lingfeng possibly improve his strength so quickly?

This behavior is somewhat of a joke, or even a wild fantasy.

But men all need to grow.

Ma Qingqing watched all of this unfold silently. She felt that Zhang Lingfeng would definitely change after experiencing this and would start cultivating seriously from then on.

As for the Wang family's affairs, I'll lend a hand when the time comes.

Of course, we should only make a move when Zhang Lingfeng feels powerless, so that Zhang Lingfeng can learn a lesson.

Thinking of this, Ma Qingqing remained in seclusion, cultivating, and her soul resided within the small world of Immortal Emperor Wangfu.

It also faces the statue of Emperor Wangfu, but in a different area.

She could sense everything on Zhang Lingfeng's side, including Zhang Lingfeng and the other Xuanxian experts, but she couldn't detect the cultivation scenes of Ma Qingqing and the other Immortal Lords.

Wang Ningzhi, Wang Yuanyang, and other members of the Wang family who were able to enter the small world of the Immortal Emperor Wangfu were also cultivating desperately.

They didn't sit idly by or put all the pressure on Zhang Lingfeng, waiting for him to come to their rescue.

As the saying goes, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.

They all knew they couldn't afford to falter at this crucial moment. As for whether Zhang Lingfeng could help them, they'd see. If all else failed, they would migrate again and leave the Alliance Starfield.

They would find a star system with relatively scarce or unknown resources, with less conflict, and at least one that wouldn't threaten the survival of their royal family, to thrive and multiply.

……

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, how can you waste your time like this, worthy of Immortal Lord Ma's protection?" A Xuanxian from the alliance couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

This person is called Bai Nuokang.

He is also a Soul Master himself, and he deeply admires and likes Ma Qingqing. He hopes that the alliance can keep Ma Qingqing.

He was very resentful about Zhang Lingfeng's long-term association with Ma Qingqing.

He wanted to attract Ma Qingqing's attention by belittling Zhang Lingfeng, knowing that Ma Qingqing was also cultivating in Wangfu Immortal Emperor's small world and would definitely notice the scene here.

Zhang Lingfeng didn't even look up, but simply flicked out a card. The card spun and flew towards Bai Nuokang, stopping suddenly in front of him. The card clearly showed a clown's smiling face.

"The paths of cultivation are diverse and each has its own merits," Zhang Lingfeng said calmly. "It seems that your concern for others' affairs is hindering your own cultivation."

Bai Nuokang's expression changed, and he wanted to refute, but then he saw the playing card suddenly burst into flames and disappear into a wisp of green smoke.

These are not ordinary playing cards, but physical objects condensed by Zhang Lingfeng using his soul energy.

"I kindly advised you, but you didn't appreciate my good intentions. I really don't know what Immortal Ma will think when he sees you like this after his seclusion ends." Bai Nuokang snorted coldly and walked away.

His purpose has been achieved.

Zhang Lingfeng continued playing cards.

For the past thirty-odd days, he seemed to be immersed in playing poker, but in reality, he was also keeping an eye on the powerful Xuanxian around him.

This white glutinous rice has appeared several times already.

It seemed like something was being plotted, which made Zhang Lingfeng feel very uncomfortable. Of course, it might also be the league's questionable actions that made Zhang Lingfeng feel utterly disappointed with everyone in the league.

Therefore, he also disliked Bai Nuokang very much.

"Is Zhang Lingfeng still the same as before?"

Bao Zhiqi stood in the room, looking at the familiar figure on the light screen.

“Yes, he was playing that game called ‘Thirteen Cards’ again today, and he’s been playing it for over thirty days now.” Bai Nuokang nodded and added, “The Wang family is making two preparations: on the one hand, they are diligently cultivating and accumulating enough cultivation resources; on the other hand, they are ready to withdraw from the factory at any time and return it to the alliance.”

Bao Zhiqi frowned: "Where is Ma Qingqing?"

"Ma Xianjun is still in seclusion. She may not emerge until Zhang Lingfeng needs her."

Bai Nuokang was extremely jealous.

He had just become a fourth-level Soul Master and had been trying to get close to Ma Qingqing, but he failed. On the contrary, a guy like Zhang Lingfeng received all kinds of care from Ma Qingqing. How could he not be angry?

"Let Zhang Lingfeng continue to play his game; that's just his personality."

Bao Zhiqi said.

Dao Dabing and Mr. Desert told him about Zhang Lingfeng's various experiences in the lower world.

The most obvious characteristic is that Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation talent is extremely extraordinary; the more relaxed he is, the faster his cultivation seems to improve.

But now we've lost Little Golden Dragon.

Bao Zhiqi didn't believe that Zhang Lingfeng could still act the same way as before.

Regardless of the circumstances, Bao Zhiqi wanted to keep Zhang Lingfeng, and even Ma Qingqing.

Time flies.

The days passed by.

Zhang Lingfeng always proceeded at his own pace.

Playing poker in front of the statue of Emperor Wangfu every day ensures I get 5,000 points of "lying down" value each day.

"Your Majesty, would you be willing to accept me as your disciple?"

Sometimes Zhang Lingfeng would stare at the statue of Immortal Emperor Wangfu.

Unfortunately, even now, Zhang Lingfeng can only see Wangfu Immortal Emperor's body from the chest down; he can't even see Wangfu Immortal Emperor's neck.

The statue of Wangfu Immortal Emperor appears to be naturally formed.

Zhang Lingfeng didn't believe anyone could sculpt such a massive statue.

Keep in mind that he is a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal and a Level 4 Soul Yuan Master, yet he could only see up to the chest of the statue of Immortal Emperor Wangfu, which shows how enormous the statue is.

But considering that this place is Wangfu Immortal Emperor's small world, and that the other party can even create a world, it is only natural that such a terrifying statue would be formed in his own world.

In short, all of this seems to make sense.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Ma Qingqing is still in seclusion. The higher her cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through her limits. As a powerful Immortal Lord, Ma Qingqing's Dao techniques and Immortal Yuan power are extremely terrifying.

Zhang Lingfeng had privately consulted Ma Qingqing and learned that the biggest difference between the immortal essence of a Celestial Lord and that of a Profound Immortal was not in terms of size.

Rather, it is the immortal essence power of a Celestial Lord who has become one with the power of the Dao. Each strand of immortal essence contains endless vitality. This powerful vitality can save oneself and destroy enemies.

Although the power is called Immortal Essence.

However, the immortal energy of a Celestial Lord has already exceeded the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.

Even if a Xuanxian expert's immortal essence reaches 9599.0, as long as they haven't reached the Immortal Lord level, an Immortal Lord can kill them in an instant.

This is where the Celestial Lord's terror lies.

Their immortal energy can even cause cultivators below the Immortal Lord level to suddenly dissipate.

The so-called disintegration is not about losing balance or being disintegrated.

It means exactly what it says.

It dissipated completely, disappearing without a trace, as if it had been absorbed entirely by the other party.

Zhang Lingfeng doesn't yet have a precise understanding of just how much the changes have occurred, because Ma Qingqing once said that such changes are indescribable and can only be truly experienced and understood after breaking through to that level, thus comprehending the difference between a Celestial Lord and a Profound Immortal.

This filled Zhang Lingfeng with anticipation for becoming a Celestial Lord.

He kept fantasizing about whether he, with the abilities of a level 5 Soul Master, could defeat Xue Bingkun, or even kill him, and help Little Golden Dragon vent his anger.

Time flies.

Two years passed quickly.

Wang Ningzhi, Wang Yuanyang, and others were also in seclusion during this period. Unfortunately, given their average talent, a year or two of seclusion did not significantly improve their cultivation.

Bao Zhiqi took the initiative to find Wang Ningzhi and Wang Yuanyang.

The factories controlled by the Wang family have been operating as scheduled over the past two years. The factories are well-managed, orderly, and thriving.

The Wang family members seem to have adapted to life in the Alliance Starfield. The resources they possess ensure that the Wang family members can thrive and grow stronger day by day.

The premise is that the factory has always been in the hands of the Wang family.

If the alliance forcibly takes back the factory, the Wang family will lose a large portion of its resources. Due to the lack of resources, even if they can earn cultivation resources by helping the alliance carry out missions, the Wang family's development will be greatly delayed.

There is a shortage of skilled workers.

Then it gradually declined, was assimilated by other cultivators in the Alliance Starfield, and eventually truly became a part of the Alliance.

This is what the league loves to do most.

First, we'll win you over, then we'll figure out a way to neutralize and break you down.

It makes you and the alliance inseparable, bringing value to the alliance but posing no threat to it.

First, we'll lure you in, then we'll figure out a way to swallow you up and break you down!
Unfortunately, it was too late for the Wang family to regret their decision.

If the little golden dragon were in Zhang Lingfeng's hands, the alliance would still be wary and would pay special attention to the Wang family. Unfortunately, Zhang Lingfeng has already lost his main value.

Now the alliance only wants to extract the greatest benefit from the Wang family and perhaps Zhang Lingfeng.

"Miss Wang, Mr. Wang, the Alliance entrusted the factory to you so that you could realize its value. However, after the assessment, it seems that the Wang family cannot meet the Alliance's requirements."

If you cannot optimize the factory and provide more value to the alliance, then on behalf of the alliance, I have no choice but to take the factory back.

Bao Zhiqi said helplessly.

"When our Wang family moved into the Alliance Starfield, we paid the Alliance relevant resources and even spirit stones in exchange for this property. Now they want to take our Wang family's things away. Doesn't the Alliance want to be ridiculed?"

Compared to Xue Bingkun, the alliance's actions of taking advantage of others' misfortune are clearly far more egregious.

Wang Ningzhi said angrily.

She knew that Bao Zhiqi was a powerful Immortal Lord and should not be offended.

But she just couldn't help it.

"That's right. At first, our Wang family didn't intend to settle down in the Alliance Starfield. It was only because of your strong guarantee, Immortal Lord, and Zhang Lingfeng's recommendation, that we entered the Alliance Starfield."

"Now that our Wang family has just established itself, the alliance wants to take back the assets we previously acquired. How is this any different from robbery?"

Wang Yuanyang argued his case forcefully.

"Since Zhang Lingfeng also recommended you to come, let's see if Zhang Lingfeng can help you."

Bao Zhiqi laughed.
