The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhang Lingfeng had never felt panicked or afraid of being hunted down by other Immortal Emperors for the sake of becoming a Level 7 Soul Master, and had even given up the idea of ​​becoming a Level 7 Soul Master because of it.

His only worry was that he would be unable to become a seventh-level Soul Master due to the lack of cultivation techniques, which he found regrettable and a pity.

But he never expected that those powerful Immortal Emperors had already infiltrated their Dao into the Heavenly Dao, and could use the Heavenly Dao to kill him.

What a terrifying existence this is.

Is it possible that I will never be able to become a level 7 Soul Master in my entire life?

Zhang Lingfeng was not afraid of death.

To have achieved his current strength, he has survived countless deaths.

Even when he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Rufeng couldn't kill him, and even the Tribulation of Life and Death couldn't do anything to him. Compared to himself back then, the Tribulation of Life and Death back then was the very Heavenly Dao in Zhang Lingfeng's eyes.

This is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao power mentioned by beings like the Stone King.

But last time he was able to successfully escape a life-or-death ordeal because of the help of beings from the Blackwater Starfield. This time, when he enters the Upper World, who can help him?

Zhang Lingfeng felt confused, fearful, and afraid.

"No, I shouldn't be afraid or terrified."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

"If I can't become a level seven Soul Master, then who can?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

From the moment he entered the Boundless Starfield, he felt that his causal relationship was connected with the so-called ancestor, that is, the seventh-level Soul Yuan Master.

Their destinies seemed inextricably linked.

It was as if the world above was waiting for him to become a level seven Soul Master.

"Lying flat value: 75"

Immortal Lord's Immortal Essence Cultivation Method: (4.22/100)

Immortal Essence: 10475.42
Soul element: 1522
Immortal Essence Dao Technique: (39/100) Avoidance

Soul Essence Dao Technique: (26.5/100) Weakened

Level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method: (1/100)

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the information on the panel.

During this period, I have been busy dealing with the latent threat from Baiyang Immortal Emperor and have been on the run, so I haven't had many opportunities to gain "lying down points".

In total, it only amounted to 75.

This is simply a drop in the ocean.

There is still a long way to go before I can become a Celestial Emperor.

For safety's sake, Zhang Lingfeng decided to first become a Celestial Emperor, and only after he had the ability to protect himself would he try to increase his Soul Essence value and strive to become a Level 6 Soul Essence Master.

Presumably, when he becomes a sixth-level Soul Master, many Immortal Emperors will notice him. He just doesn't know if any Immortal Emperors will try to harm him then.

If that day comes.

Clearly, he also possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor, which allowed him to contend with that group of people.

The Immortal Lord's Immortal Essence Cultivation Method requires 100,000 "lying down" points for each value, totaling 10 million "lying down" points, for Zhang Lingfeng to raise it to perfection.

To reach the level of an Immortal Emperor.

Now that Immortal Emperor Baiyang is plotting to overthrow the entire Boundless Starfield, Zhang Lingfeng also needs to find a way to obtain enough "lying down points" so that he and the Dragon King and other beings will be helpless when the Immortal Emperor arrives.

Fortunately, entering the Boundless Star Domain is not an easy task. Even if Immortal Emperor Baiyang could persuade other Immortal Emperors to come, they would not directly enter the Boundless Star Domain. They would definitely avoid various negative consequences first.

Whether it's finding someone, or finding someone and then having that person enter the Boundless Starfield, or even finding and killing them, all of these things take time.

Zhang Lingfeng still has a chance to improve his "lying down" value.

Regardless of whether one has the chance to become a Celestial Emperor, the higher one's Celestial Essence, the greater one's chance of victory when facing enemies in the future.

For the next period of time, Zhang Lingfeng played mahjong with Jingqiu, Mo Yunteng, and Mohe.

All three beings were powerful Immortal Lords.

Individually, none of them are weaker than Zhang Lingfeng. Even if Zhang Lingfeng is a level 5 Soul Master, it won't be easy for him to gain an advantage over them in the Boundless Starfield.

Because of their strength, Zhang Lingfeng has always been able to gain a relatively considerable amount of "lying down" points.

The daily "lying down" value is around 10,000+.

Ten million in "lying down" value, which is equivalent to three years in total.

As long as he can continuously gain "lying down" points and accumulate them to ten million, Zhang Lingfeng can become a Celestial Emperor. At that time, he can help the life forms of the Boundless Star Domain, including himself.

However, for ancient demons who have been in a state of intense cultivation for a long time, playing mahjong and other games, which are like lying down and doing nothing, only surprised them at first. When they later discovered that these games could not help them improve and even wasted their time, they would slowly refuse to play and choose to distance themselves from Zhang Lingfeng.

It should be understood that these ancient demons who participated in the plan to kill ninety-six Immortal Lords are all in grave danger. If an Immortal Emperor were to descend, their chances of survival would be slim.

After all, not everyone is the Dragon King.

Daring to confront even a Celestial Emperor.

Furthermore, their special status means that even if they are expelled from the Dragon Clan, powerful Immortal Emperors might not dare to kill them. But it's different for them; many Immortal Emperors already harbor resentment towards them.

The patriarch has been gone for many years. Although his spirit is still alive, he is no longer the same as before and may not be able to protect them anymore.

Therefore, the only way to overcome this calamity is to increase our strength and unite against a common enemy.

Therefore, no one wanted to waste too much time.

After the novelty wore off, he began to diligently cultivate himself.

Even Jingqiu refused to lie down with Zhang Lingfeng and chose to work hard to digest the power she had just gained. The curse on her body was terrifying. Only by constantly improving her strength could she ensure that her strength would not disappear or regress.

"Brother Shi!"

Zhang Lingfeng found the Stone King.

He was rather fortunate that there were many ancient demons in the Boundless Starfield. Each of them could play with him for a few days, and after a few trips back and forth, he could accumulate ten million "lying-down points" in less than three or four years to help him become a powerful Immortal Emperor.

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore."

Shi Wang didn't want to talk to Zhang Lingfeng.

"Don't you want to know what the Monkey King you gave birth to did in Heaven?"

Zhang Lingfeng tempted him.

To get the Stone King to play mahjong, cards, or golf with him, Zhang Lingfeng told the Stone King some familiar mythological stories from his past life.

When the Stone King learned that his lineage had a stone that gave birth to a monkey, Sun Wukong, whose body was even used by the gods to mend the sky, he was immediately filled with excitement.

I am very curious about the story of Sun Wukong after that.

"What did you do?"

Stone King couldn't help but ask.

"Sit down, and I'll tell you all about it. I guarantee you'll be thrilled after you hear it."

Zhang Lingfeng tempted him.

Mahjong and playing cards were prepared long ago.

"Okay, I'll trust you one more time. Tell me quickly, don't drag it out. I need to know what Sun Wukong did next."

The Stone King sat down and said.

He ordered several stone demons to come and keep him company, playing mahjong and other games together. "弼马温 (Bima Wen)."

"Damn it, how dare the Jade Emperor make fun of the monkey."

"Great Sage Equal to Heaven, that's more like it."

"What? The Peach Banquet doesn't invite the Monkey King? What kind of Monkey King is that?"

"The Peach Garden is destroyed. Well done, as expected of Sun Wukong, awesome."

"The life we, the Stone Demons, give birth to is different. We can fly through the sky and escape underground, and we can even modify the Book of Life and Death."

"Who is Tathagata Buddha? What an imposing title!"

"Five Finger Mountain, damn it, one day I will definitely refine it into my own body."

"Well done, monkey."

Stone King listened intently, and before he knew it, he had been playing mahjong with Zhang Lingfeng for a month. Because other stone demons came to help, Zhang Lingfeng's "lying down" points, although not as high as before, were still close to 10,000 points every day.

One month down.

The "lying down" value, combined with the original 750,000, has exceeded one million.

After the Stone King finished listening to the story of Sun Wukong, Zhang Lingfeng found the Ghost King. The Ghost King was dismissive and only wanted to focus on cultivation. So Zhang Lingfeng told the Ghost King about how Yama had taken away Sun Wukong's soul.

The Ghost King instantly became excited.

He had many minor conflicts with the Stone King. Upon learning that Sun Wukong was born from a stone and that his soul had been stolen by someone from his own lineage, almost being refined, he immediately perked up.

He immediately realized that the cultivators of the Ghost King lineage were much stronger than those of the Stone Demon lineage.

In order to ensnare the Ghost King, Zhang Lingfeng fabricated a story, portraying Yama as incredibly powerful, to the point that even the Jade Emperor had to show him deference.

The Ghost King was very pleased.

Who is the Jade Emperor?

"The Ghost King inquired."

"A god from the Eastern world, an existence like the White Ocean Immortal Emperor, is not even qualified to carry his shoes."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Okay, okay, hahaha!"

The Ghost King was very pleased.

"King Yama, the Jade Emperor, and the Buddha together rule the Three Realms and Six Paths."

Yama, the King of Hell, is the ruler of the underworld, also known as the King of the Underworld. He has countless ghost kings under his command, each of whom enjoys his blessings and receives gifts of his magical power.

Zhang Lingfeng spoke earnestly.

These stories were told on Ghost King Mountain.

The Ghost King and countless lesser ghosts listened intently, occasionally shouting, "Long live the King of the Underworld!" These lesser ghosts also hoped that one day they could be like the King of the Underworld, able to take the soul of whomever they wanted.

It can even steal the soul of the Monkey King.

According to Zhang Lingfeng's account, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was an even more terrifying being than the White Ocean Immortal Emperor, possessing many supernatural powers.

“Brother, when I become the King of the Underworld and the master of the Underworld, I will surely erase your name from the Book of Life and Death, so that you may live forever and never die.”

The Ghost King laughed.

"Thank you, Brother Hades."

Zhang Lingfeng expressed his gratitude.

"Hey, how dare you call me Hades? I'm not worthy!"

The Ghost King felt a little embarrassed.

"In my eyes, you are Hades, the Hades of the Boundless Starfield, and no one can change that."

Zhang Lingfeng said with absolute certainty.

"Haha, please excuse my poor performance."

The Ghost King was overjoyed and immediately spent a few more days playing with Zhang Lingfeng.

In order to gain "lying down" points and become a powerful Immortal Emperor as soon as possible, Zhang Lingfeng spent every day looking for someone to play mahjong with.

He arrived at the Water Fish King's Palace.

The story begins with the Water Fish King. When Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang were on their journey to the West, they passed through the territory of a fish demon. The fish demon was incredibly powerful and blocked Sun Wukong's path, forcing him to seek help from the heavens. In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva, a being far stronger than the Celestial Emperor, intervened, and only then did the fish demon king let Sun Wukong go.

The King of Water Fish heard this and his whiskers twitched back and forth, his face beaming with joy.

These ancient demons, seemingly living in peace under the order established by the Dragon King, are actually quite divided. For some reason, the Journey to the West stories told by Zhang Lingfeng allow them to find corresponding characters and feel a strong sense of identification.

Gradually, these stories began to circulate in the Boundless Starfield.

Every living thing is full of curiosity.

What kind of fortunes did the strong members of their lineage have when they encountered Sun Wukong?

When faced with those long-time mahjong players who have been with Zhang Lingfeng and helped him gain "lying flat" points, Zhang Lingfeng usually leaves them with a relatively perfect ending.

When faced with those ancient demons who refused to acknowledge him, the story always ended with Sun Wukong killing them with a single blow.

This caused many ancient demons to howl incessantly, and they took the initiative to find Zhang Lingfeng, demanding that he explain the story clearly.

After the stories were pieced together, they all felt that the fates of the characters in the stories indirectly affected some of their lives and their status in the Boundless Starfield.

“Brother, you said before that the monkey absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and the stone that nurtured him was originally leftover from mending the sky. So how come after he made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, he was always bullied by other monsters after following Tang Sanzang, and even a black bear spirit could bully him?”

"The Stone King complained."

After the story spread, he discovered that Sun Wukong, who represented their Stone King lineage, seemed to be doing rather poorly. Later, any random monster could kidnap his master, and he would often have to go to heaven to ask the Buddha or Guanyin for help. He was nothing like the invincible monkey who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The story became increasingly absurd, so the Stone King had no choice but to seek out Zhang Lingfeng, demanding that he restore the monkey's image and revive its former glory.

"Don't worry, the monkey will become the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and your Stone King clan will be on par with the Buddha. You are very powerful."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"really."

King Shi was overjoyed.

Sun Wukong finally did not disgrace the Stone King clan.

As the days went by, Zhang Lingfeng used a series of interconnected stories to bind all the ancient demons together, making them take turns playing mahjong and other games with him.

Help him gain "lying flat" points.

His "lying down" value increases every day, getting closer and closer to ten million, while Baiyang Immortal Emperor's movements become increasingly significant.

He finally found help.

Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

He was someone who received a fortuitous encounter with the Immortal Emperor Baiyang and eventually became an Immortal Emperor.

For years, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor has been in seclusion, cultivating his skills.

He had only been an Immortal Emperor for less than six thousand years, making him relatively young among Immortal Emperors, and his immortal essence was also relatively weak. Of course, every Immortal Emperor was above an Immortal Lord, and even the weakest Immortal Emperor was not comparable to the ninety-six Immortal Lords.

"Ouch!"

The Dragon King had been closely monitoring every move outside. Upon learning that the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor might participate in this battle, he immediately notified all the ancient demons in the Boundless Starfield. (End of Chapter)
