The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

The three rulers of Bakhun are the three immortal lords: Qiankun, Dianzhui, and Lihuo.

Before entering the Boundless Starfield, the three immortal lords investigated Zhang Lingfeng's past, learned about the story of the Blackwater Starfield, and found out where Zhang Lingfeng had lived.

All three of them wanted Zhang Lingfeng's approval.

They jointly founded the city of Bakhun for this purpose.

They originally wanted to name the city South City, but worried that it would be too deliberate, so they named it Bakun. Bakun is the powerful successor of the Linley lineage of the Baruch family in the Baruch Star Region.

He was also a powerful Immortal Emperor from the world above.

The three learned that Zhang Lingfeng had some goodwill towards the Baruch family, so they named the city after Bakun. Naming a city after a Celestial Emperor was a relatively common practice in the Upper World.

Everyone wants to receive the favor of the Celestial Emperor, hoping to gain his approval or a gift of power.

But sometimes it can backfire.

This enraged the Celestial Emperor.

Therefore, the three of them were very cautious at first. Only after naming the city and without being stopped by the two Immortal Emperors, Zhang Lingfeng and Bakun, did the city spread completely in the Upper World.

In order to attract Zhang Lingfeng's attention, the three immortal lords not only brought the order of the ancient Blue Star here, but also encouraged various entertainment industries, making Bakun, a city comparable in size to the Blackwater Star Region, a place full of bright lights and bustling activity.

On the streets and alleys, you can even hear songs popular on the ancient Blue Star or in the Blackwater Starfield, and even some movie scenes are playing.

Admittedly, when Zhang Lingfeng first arrived here, he felt very familiar with the place and knew that it was deliberately created by someone, especially since someone named the place after Bakhun.

In the Baruch Starfield, the legend of Linley from the Baruch family has influenced every life in the world below. Many people know that Linley left behind a law that will never be erased from the Baruch family's soul.

This law is unbreakable.

In the distant past, the Baruch family produced several Immortal Emperors in the Upper World, and Bakun was just one of them.

After Zhang Lingfeng became an Immortal Emperor, he also wanted to learn about the Baruch family.

Because the Baruch family can ride divine beasts, possessing the bloodlines of the four divine beasts: the dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the black tortoise, and receiving the favor of these four divine beasts.

Perhaps by finding the Ancestral Dragon and other dragon clan members living in the past through the Baruch family, it would be relatively easier to rescue the little golden dragon from the White Ocean Immortal Emperor.

If the Dragon Clan knew that the little golden dragon was trapped in the hands of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor, they certainly wouldn't sit idly by.

Lingdang knew that the three immortal lords attached great importance to the laws and order here and would not allow them to be violated, especially murder cases that occurred in the bustling city, which they all demanded be solved.

Blood Soul was captured.

But she never found the mysterious person who could truly subdue and dismantle the Blood Soul.

She checked the surveillance footage of the card and chess room.

I saw Ah Long, Zhang Lingfeng, and many other customers in the card and chess room.

Blood Soul is a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal. Anyone who can easily subdue Blood Soul must also be a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, or even a Celestial Lord. However, it is obviously somewhat comical to have a Celestial Lord mixed in with a group of Earth Immortals or Human Immortals in a card room.

But no matter what, she had to find this person.

He then reported this matter to the three powerful Immortal Lords.

The three immortal lords jointly rule the city of Bakkun. Each of them has their own conglomerate or family, and they all have strict red lines regarding their interests. No one can be allowed to cause damage to the city of Bakkun.

Especially those destroyers with the strength of a Celestial Lord.

However, although Lingdang couldn't find out who had taken down Xuehun, she could see from the surveillance footage that when Xuehun attacked Ah Long, Zhang Lingfeng, and several other people nearby, an unseen force of magic suddenly blasted Xuehun away.

The opponent's move was too skillful.

It was so skillful that it was almost impossible to find out who had actually repelled the Blood Soul.

Zhang Lingfeng, A Long, and the others looked panicked and wanted to escape from the card room as soon as possible. After Xue Hun flew out, he ran back in, wanting to start a massacre.

An even more terrifying power of Daoist magic sent Blood Soul flying. This time, Blood Soul's Daoist magic and immortal essence were out of balance.

He was subdued by several Great Immortals.

Zhang Lingfeng, A Long, and the others also rushed out of the card room. From the footage, it was impossible to tell who had dealt the severe blow to Xue Hun.

He looked more like a powerful figure, hiding outside the chess and card room, instantly severely injuring Blood Soul.

If the opponent is a Celestial Lord, even without entering the card room, they can easily take down Blood Soul.

Lingdang looked solemn.

I have a vague feeling that the person who appeared was a powerful Immortal Lord. Could it be one of those three Immortal Lords who just happened to be passing by?

She truthfully reported everything she had seen to the three powerful immortal lords.

Willow Tree Community.

Zhang Lingfeng and Brother Long were sitting in the living room, having a few drinks. On the table was a plate of braised beef, which was made from a special kind of meat from a demon beast.

It costs three yuan stones to produce one jin (500g), making it very valuable.

"Dad, I'm back."

At this time, Long Ge's daughter, Long Ruoxue, who was a teacher at a cultivation academy and had already attained the Dao of Immortal, returned from the school.

"Xiaoxue, this is your Uncle Feng."

"Brother Long explained."

"Hello, Uncle Feng."

"Hello, I heard from your dad that you are a teacher at school."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

The two were sizing each other up.

Long Ruoxue sensed Zhang Lingfeng's aura fluctuations. Although he was only at the Human Immortal level, she could tell that Zhang Lingfeng, like her father, was at the Earth Immortal level, close to the Celestial Immortal level.

Zhang Lingfeng then looked at Long Ruoxue's causal trajectory. Ever since he couldn't bear to save Long Yan in the card room, Long Ruoxue's causal path had changed.

There are some places that cannot be seen.

Zhang Lingfeng felt a little strange. Even if he had saved Long Yan's life and they would have crossed paths in the future, he should be able to see clearly the changes in the cause and effect between the father and daughter and their ultimate fate.

The cause and effect between the father and daughter now seems to be obscured by the laws of nature.

If one were to use magic to forcibly calculate the future, it would be possible to do so, but it would involve going against the will of Heaven, and there would be all sorts of risks involved in going against the will of Heaven.

Even if one could see the ultimate cause and effect of the father and daughter's relationship, it might not be of any use to oneself.

Zhang Lingfeng knew that after becoming an Immortal Emperor, every Immortal Emperor was playing a game with the Heavenly Dao, gradually finding their own cause and effect and reincarnation from the Heavenly Dao through layers of Dao power.

Ultimately, he mastered the two great principles of cause and effect and reincarnation.

However, even the Soul Emperor could not control such a powerful Dao technique, otherwise he would not have been trapped in the White Tiger Star Region and unable to go to the White Ocean Star Region to rescue his master.

It was from this incident that Zhang Lingfeng was able to conclude that Bai Yang Immortal Emperor was definitely not simple.

Although Baiyang Immortal Emperor was not the only one who restrained the Soul Emperor, the fact that Baiyang Immortal Emperor was also the one who guarded the Baiyang Star Region, a place where the Ancestral Master was trapped, shows how terrifying Baiyang Immortal Emperor was.

Zhang Lingfeng's reckless intrusion into the Baiyang Starfield not only failed to rescue the little golden dragon, but he might also suffer the same fate as his ancestor, being trapped in the Baiyang Starfield forever and gradually devoured by the Baiyang Immortal Emperor.

Now, he found himself unable to see through the causal relationship between Long Yan and his daughter.

This truly surprised Zhang Lingfeng.

It's unclear whether it's the workings of fate or the extraordinary destiny of Long Yan and his daughter, but even if it's extraordinary, can it surpass his?
Zhang Lingfeng gave a bitter smile to himself.

I've decided to wait and see how things develop.

"There was a murder on Chess and Card Street, Dad. You often go there. Did you know something happened there?"

Long Ruoxue inquired.

"I was with your Uncle Feng somewhere else today, just came back from the market. Who would dare cause trouble on the chess and card street? What's going on? Is it serious?"

Long Yan asked with a puzzled look.

Zhang Lingfeng feigned curiosity as he looked at Long Ruoxue. "It's nothing. There was a very powerful guy, seemingly possessed by a demon, who suddenly went on a killing spree against the people in the chess and card street, but he's already been subdued."

Long Ruoxue said casually.

After learning about the incident, she returned from school early because she was worried that something might have happened to Long Yan. Fortunately, he was safe and sound.

"Dad, you guys continue drinking. I'm going to cultivate. I have homework to do tomorrow."

Long Ruoxue nodded to Zhang Lingfeng and then entered the cultivation room.

"How about it? Isn't my precious daughter amazing? She'll be able to attain the Golden Immortal realm sooner or later."

Long Yan laughed.

What happened today startled him.

Fortunately, the cultivation resources left for Long Ruoxue were preserved, which is why he spared no expense to invite Zhang Lingfeng to his home for a drink.

"Brother Long is lucky."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

"Who exactly are this father and daughter? What happened today is really strange. Who is it that can arrange these things when I can't predict the cause and effect?"

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

He initially suspected it was the work of Heaven.

Or perhaps he spent too much time in the card room, influencing the cause and effect of others, which led to this sudden incident.

If the former is related to the Heavenly Dao, he can do nothing but slowly improve his own Dao power and gradually regain the initiative from the Heavenly Dao, at least within the Boundless Star Domain, he cannot let the Heavenly Dao act recklessly.

If the latter changed the cause and effect of everyone because of himself, then he can trace back to the source and find out what caused these things.

The results showed that the latter was clearly not the case.

That means someone is manipulating all of this.

If you don't want to accept the challenge, you can simply leave.

But he really wanted to know who could manipulate cause and effect in the Boundless Star Domain and pull him into this cause and effect. Was it the White Ocean Immortal Emperor?

Does the other party have such great abilities?

Zhang Lingfeng was suspicious.

In the days that followed, Zhang Lingfeng and Long Yan became friends, and the two continued to go to the chess and card street to play games, of course, after things had calmed down.

Immortal Lord's Mansion.

Lingdang handed over her investigation report to the three immortal lords, Qiankun, Dianzhui, and Lihuo, for review.

The three immortal lords examined the Blood Soul, unsure where it had come from, and then looked at the various survey data from the chess and card game street.

And a lot of surveillance content.

The expressions of the three immortal lords gradually became solemn.

Even they couldn't discern the source of the Daoist power that had sent the Blood Soul flying twice in succession.

It was impossible to determine who made the move from the surveillance footage of the card room.

Everyone appeared fearful and uneasy, including Zhang Lingfeng.

But the more they couldn't find this person, the more uneasy the three immortal lords felt. This meant that there was a powerful expert hidden in the city of Bakhun who was stronger than all three of them.

The other party was also trying to gain an opportunity to obtain Zhang Lingfeng's favor.

Seizing opportunities is a common occurrence in cultivation, and it is precisely because of this frequent occurrence that the three immortal lords came together.

Make Bakhun impregnable.

They wanted to fight against other raiders.

Unexpectedly, right under their noses, Bakhun was hiding such a terrifying being, and they were completely unaware of it.

The three decided to investigate.

They created Bakhun in order to gain Zhang Lingfeng's approval and attract his attention. The appearance of this person did not make them think that the other party might be Zhang Lingfeng.

After all, this is a bit outrageous.

Zhang Lingfeng is a Celestial Emperor, and even if he appears, he won't mingle with a group of Earth Immortals or Human Immortals.

If you just happen to be passing by, you only need to make one move.

Although there were traces left by Zhang Lingfeng regarding the events in Shenfeng City, apart from Black Bear Immortal Lord who knew that Zhang Lingfeng was the tea stall owner, no one else knew the role Zhang Lingfeng originally played in Shenfeng City.

All that is known is that Zhang Lingfeng appeared in Shenfeng City.

He even sacrificed the life of the Black Bear Immortal Lord to all the cultivators of Divine Wind City, allowing many people to gain opportunities.

In the eyes of the three immortal lords, no matter how approachable Zhang Lingfeng was, he was still a high and mighty immortal emperor, an existence that they could not desecrate and dared not look directly at.

Even if one seeks enlightenment from the causes and effects of all beings, one will not get too close to the masses, but will only observe all beings from God's perspective.

Using heaven and earth as a chessboard.

Using billions of lives as pawns.

The order is based on the laws of Heaven.

This is what the Celestial Emperor does.

So the three of them decided to find this person.

And make this person leave Bakhun. If the other party insists on staying in Bakhun, then you must let them know where they are, otherwise they are like a time bomb.

Although it wouldn't destroy Bakhun.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to subdue the Blood Soul, but it's highly likely that they would have taken away the opportunity that originally belonged to them.

Opportunity is the most important thing for all practitioners.

Stealing someone's opportunity is like killing their parents; this is no joke. In order to successfully obtain the opportunity from Zhang Lingfeng, the three of them are willing to pay any price.

Throughout history.

A certain insignificant point in time.

An old dragon is also playing chess.

His chess pieces are very special; they are like dragon scales. His chessboard is half the world of his own time and half the world of another time.

He uses time as the axis.

It seems that the person playing chess with him is in a future time and space, or rather, the space world where the other party is located has a normal time order.

Among the three dragon scales, there are three different names marked on them.

Blood Soul.

Long Ruoxue.

Dragon Flame.

Under his magical power, the three of them seemed to be three complete living beings, helping him to carry out various tasks in the future.

"Golden Five-Clawed Dragon".

The old dragon sighed.

When Zuhe took away the dragon egg, although he acted immediately, Zuhe still managed to take the dragon egg away. Knowing that he would be relentlessly pursued, Zuhe actually broke into the world below and handed the dragon egg over to Changhe.

The old dragon has now sensed that the golden five-clawed dragon has hatched. He is currently examining the state of life in another dimension, hesitating whether to leave the river of history and return to their home. (End of Chapter)
