The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

"Crash."

"bump!"

The sound of mahjong tiles echoed in the card room.

The city of Bakkun has a relatively well-established social order and relevant laws, and its card and mahjong parlors are quite popular.

Zhang Lingfeng seemed to have forgotten his identity as a Celestial Emperor.

He wore a bracelet on his wrist, had two shiny walnuts in his pocket, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and was stroking mahjong tiles with both hands. He saw his opponent play an 8 of Wan, which gave him a winning hand.

He stood up excitedly and turned the mahjong tiles over to show everyone.

In Shenfeng City, Zhang Lingfeng opened a tea stall and invited people to play chess and mahjong with him to pass the time.

However, the city of Bakhun has relatively low pressure and well-developed entertainment facilities. Many cultivators like to play mahjong here while inquiring about things related to the upper world.

Zhang Lingfeng became a regular at this chess and card room.

In the eyes of others, he was a gambler who would spend all the spirit stones he had painstakingly saved up in no time. Many people regarded him as a frustrated rogue cultivator.

Unable to get promoted, he chose to live a life of debauchery in Bakkun.

"Brother Feng, you seem to be on a winning streak today. Could you lend me some more spirit stones?"

When Zhang Lingfeng walked out of the chess and card room and checked the panel information, he found that he had gained more than a thousand "lying down" points in one afternoon. At the door, he was stopped by a cultivator from the Earth Immortal realm.

He was also a regular at Liu's chess and card room.

He was also a rogue cultivator.

Addicted to gambling.

He not only enjoys playing card games, but also likes to go to the arena to place bets.

But my luck wasn't good.

I haven't returned the thirty spirit stones I took from Zhang Lingfeng last time.

"That's all. I'm going to Zuichunlou to find Xiaohua. I don't have enough Yuan Stones to give you. You should pay me back the dozens of Yuan Stones you owe me as soon as possible."

Zhang Lingfeng shoved Li Yang away.

He left, brimming with self-satisfaction, exhaling long smoke rings.

"Pah, damn it, you're just a terrestrial immortal like me, what's with the attitude?"

Li Yang cursed under his breath.

He spat at Zhang Lingfeng's retreating figure.

Zhang Lingfeng was already used to it. He had delved into the causes and effects of all living beings. He could encounter touching moments and discover the ugliness of human nature. As long as it could help him gain "lying down" points and increase the size of his Immortal Emperor's True Essence and Soul Essence, what did it matter if he saw the ugliness of human nature?

Besides, lying flat is incredibly comfortable.

Especially in a city like Bakhun, lying down is like living in paradise. As long as you have spirit stones, you can enjoy yourself to the fullest. Although he is an immortal emperor, he is still a human being.

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng has always been a fine young man of the 21st century on Earth, knowing how to protect life and enjoy the joy that life brings.

I dream of owning a big cruise ship.

Living in a world of dazzling lights and bustling activity, such a living environment can also enhance his strength.

It's just that the little golden dragon has had a tough time.

I wonder how it fared in the hands of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor.

But the more this is the case, the less Zhang Lingfeng can be in a hurry. This time, he must succeed in rescuing the little golden dragon.

Therefore, accumulating "lying flat" points becomes crucial.

In the Drunken Spring Pavilion, on the Heaven and Earth floor, Zhang Lingfeng was soaking in a bathtub filled with spiritual spring water. Around him were spiritual fruits and fine wines. On either side of him, a celestial cultivator was massaging and kneading him, while behind him, a celestial female cultivator was cleaning his ears.

For someone who appears to only have the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal, being able to order three Celestial Immortals to accompany them at a time in a place like Zuichunlou is an extremely extravagant expense.

Every time Zhang Lingfeng earned Yuan Stones at the card room or casino, he would come to Zuichunlou to spend them.

Over the course of two or three years, Zhang Lingfeng accumulated over 13 million "lying flat" points and spent several thousand yuan stones to become a VIP at Zuichunlou.

Fortunately, the city of Bakhun is relatively well-ordered, so even if someone is targeting Zhang Lingfeng, they won't be able to cause him any trouble.

Zhang Lingfeng allowed himself to fully immerse himself in this place, to get used to the local customs and culture, and to feel the cycle of reincarnation and the law of cause and effect of everyone here.

Doing this will not only earn you "lying down" points, but it will also make it easier to obtain the Dao of Cause and Effect or the Dao of Reincarnation in the future.

He was not careless.

After all, the little golden dragon is still trapped in the Baiyang Starfield.

Zhang Lingfeng also wanted to rescue the little golden dragon as soon as possible, and he also wanted to gain more "lying down points" so that he could perfect his self-created Immortal Emperor True Essence Cultivation Method.

To make one's Immortal Emperor True Essence surpass that of other Immortal Emperor powerhouses.

Zhang Lingfeng had a strong premonition that perhaps when he cultivated the Immortal Emperor True Essence Cultivation Method he created to its limit, and the size of his Immortal Emperor True Essence reached an extremely terrifying state, even if he was besieged by many Immortal Emperor powerhouses after becoming a seventh-level Soul Essence Master, he should not be imprisoned by them like his ancestor.

It would be even more wonderful if one could master the laws of cause and effect and the laws of reincarnation.

That day, Zhang Lingfeng continued playing mahjong in the Liu family's chess and card room, planning to go to Zuichunlou to enjoy himself after earning some Yuanshi. He would invite Xiaohua and Xiaomei, one to press the left and the other to press the right, and then have Qiuxiang come over to clean his ears. Life would be perfect.

Just then, Zhang Lingfeng sensed an aura approaching the Liu family's chess and card room. It was a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, seemingly possessed.

Upon entering, he unleashed a powerful sword technique, seemingly capable of sealing everyone within.

Golden Immortals are already powerful beings in the upper world, Great Luo Golden Immortals are the pillars of many families, and Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals are absolutely one in ten thousand masters, a regional overlord.

Even though there are three powerful Immortal Lords ruling the city of Bakkun, the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal is still a top figure, holding a high position and great power in Bakkun, and his call to action is heard by many.

Suddenly, a celestial being from the Nine Heavens stormed into the card room and used his magical powers to trap everyone. This was an unusual event.

But Zhang Lingfeng did not act rashly.

He pretended to be like everyone else, trapped in the other party's quagmire of Taoist magic and unable to move.

"Give me the spirit stones and the storage ring."

"Anyone who dares to tamper with this will be annihilated, body and soul."

The man gave the order.

How ridiculous it is for a celestial being from the Nine Heavens to be robbing spirit stones in a card room.

However, there are also many powerful immortals in the upper world who are tribulation cultivators, and even some immortal emperors who engaged in the business of tribulation cultivators before they became immortal emperors.

"Immortal, spare my life!"

The highest level of cultivation among those who frequent this card room is only Celestial Immortal; Golden Immortals are almost never seen. Even though Bakhun is a well-ordered city with a thriving entertainment industry, many powerful cultivators believe that such a life of revelry is prone to tainting one with negative karma, and some powerful cultivators simply won't participate.

So when a Nine Heavens Immortal suddenly ran in to snatch the Yuan Stone, everyone was completely dumbfounded and terrified.

"puff!"

The person speaking is called Ah San.

He was also a gambler.

Having played cards with Zhang Lingfeng many times, Ah San had accumulated a lot of negative karma. Zhang Lingfeng tried his best not to interfere with their karma, but he never expected that Ah San would die in Liu's card room.

He was killed in one move by the person in front of him.

Zhang Lingfeng had previously seen Ah San's karma, so he didn't need to deliberately examine it. However, as an Immortal Emperor, he could see the karma of many people at a glance.

Ah San's fate is to be consumed by negative karma, but his death will not come at this time.

This is clearly a sudden causal relationship.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but look at this Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

He was a burly, rugged man.

His immortal energy was somewhat chaotic, and his Daoist magic was also somewhat broken, but he could still suppress many people here.

"Help me hide this; it's a cultivation resource for my daughter to become an Earth Immortal."

A fellow Daoist named A Long tossed a spatial ring to Zhang Lingfeng and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Not everyone in Liu's chess and card room is a gambler; some people come here to relax after a long day of work.

Ah Long is just like that.

Furthermore, he was also a being who ascended from the world below. Of course, Zhang Lingfeng had never been to the star field where he resided.

He ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm five hundred years later, and now his strength has reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

He married and had children in the world above.

After overcoming many hardships, they successfully settled in Bakhun.

My daughter is a spiritual teacher, teaching at a spiritual school.

In the world above, many beings must begin their cultivation by refining Qi or establishing their foundation; not everyone is born with the potential to become an immortal.

Of course, with the existing resources available, it is relatively much easier for cultivators in the upper world to attain immortality.

Almost every family that cultivates immortality has one or two immortals.

Whether they are human immortals or earth immortals, they are worlds apart from the world below.

"court death!"

However, how could a celestial being from the Nine Heavens not notice Ah Long's actions?

One after another, the spells were released, capable of directly shattering Ah Long's soul and causing it to dissipate. At the same time, this power of the spells would also affect Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng's body will be destroyed and his soul will be disintegrated.

It was as if both body and soul had been destroyed.

Of course, that's how it appears to everyone else.

Ah Long looked terrified.

It's impossible to resist or fight against it.

In Zhang Lingfeng's view, the burly man's magical power was very weak.

The speed is also very slow.

He could see the frustration and resentment in Aaron's eyes.

He didn't want to interfere with the cause and effect of others' lives.

But as this power of Daoist arts swept in, Zhang Lingfeng still sighed softly.

"boom!"

A force appeared, its origin unknown.

The burly man's magic vanished instantly, and his body flew out of the card room and onto the street.

The defenders of Bakhun quickly sensed the fluctuations in energy here.

Several powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortals appeared quickly.

But it was impossible to defend against that Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

It's unclear what was going on in that Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal's mind, but he actually went back to the card room.

At this moment, everyone was in chaos, trying to rush out the back door.

As the burly man rushed in, he was followed by several powerful magical artifacts and Taoist powers from the Great Luo Golden Immortals, leaving everyone in the room feeling helpless.

Zhang Lingfeng had just handed the spatial ring to A Long.

Seeing that person rush in again, he could only sigh once more.

The burly man was swept away as if by a force of the Five Elements Daoist magic, crashing into the flying swords and several streams of Daoist power behind him. This time, he was severely injured, and his immortal essence and Daoist power could no longer maintain their balance.

Zhang Lingfeng, A Long, and the others quickly ran out of the back door of the card room.

"Although I am an Immortal Emperor, I cannot truly control the power of the Heavenly Dao. In reality, the cycle of cause and effect is still under the control of the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, how could I have encountered it twice in a row?"

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

He could watch Ah Long disappear before his eyes, ending up utterly destroyed.

Unfortunately, despite understanding the true meaning of life, he couldn't help but want to protect Ah Long, but he never expected that he would have to take action twice in a row.

He can crush dozens of Immortal Lord level experts in an instant.

However, not wanting to get too entangled in karma, he held back his attacks. He didn't expect that person to rush in again, as if this karma was directed at him.

There's a feeling of being plotted against.

But as a Celestial Emperor, who could possibly outmaneuver him?

The only person capable of scheming against him is a Celestial Emperor, and he thought of Celestial Emperor Baiyang.

But it also felt somewhat comical.

This is the Boundless Starfield.

Even if Baiyang Immortal Emperor possessed extraordinary abilities, he could not control the causal order of the Boundless Star Domain, nor could he interfere with its causal cycle through the lives of those in the Boundless Star Domain. If he had such abilities, he would have died countless times over.

In the end, although he was a powerful Immortal Emperor, due to the true meaning of life, it seemed that his fate was always in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

He could have refrained from interfering in Ah Long's karma.

But after spending some time with him and seeing through Ah Long's karma, I still felt that Ah Long shouldn't have died at this time, especially not in front of him.

They forcibly reversed Ah Long's karmic cycle back to normal order.

Unconsciously, the causal relationship between herself and Ah Long has been further strengthened. But when she thought about how she was able to meet Ah Long in the card room and recognize him, she realized that the causal relationship between the two of them was already compatible.

Perhaps this is fate.

"Come on!"

Ah Long was only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. He had survived a calamity thanks to someone who had defeated the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal. He was overjoyed, especially when he saw his storage ring return to his hand.

He couldn't resist the urge to drag Zhang Lingfeng home for a drink.

Zhang Lingfeng originally wanted to refuse.

But Ah Long's fate had already changed because of him, and he was curious about what Ah Long had done to deserve such a connection with him.

"Oh shit."

At the entrance of Liu's chess and card room, several powerful immortals subdued the burly man.

The burly man kept cursing and swearing.

After a while, a female cultivator flew over.

She looked at the few Great Luo Golden Immortals with some surprise. Even if the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal was not in his right mind, he was not someone that a few Great Luo Golden Immortals could easily handle.

Moreover, they were able to subdue him.

"Blood Soul".

"How dare you cause trouble in Bakhun? Don't you know who the three masters of this city are?"

"The bell asked."

She knew a rugged man.

The burly man, whose Daoist name was Blood Soul, was a Tribulation Cultivator. He had somehow entered Bakun and dared to rob the Yuan Stones in the card room, which was quite beneath his dignity.

Not in line with common sense.

Blood Soul didn't speak, he just kept laughing wildly.

The bell sensed something was wrong.

How did you subdue him?

She asked one of the Great Immortals.

"Someone else took him down."

The other party dared not hide anything and quickly recounted what had just happened in detail.

Lingdang frowned even more deeply and couldn't help but walk into the chess and card room to sense the fluctuations in the atmosphere, hoping to find some traces of Taoist power, but she found nothing.

"When did such a powerful Nine Heavens Immortal appear in Bakhun?"

Bell felt it necessary to investigate! (End of Chapter)
