The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Only after Lao Ou reminded him did Zhang Lingfeng realize that one should not look directly at a god.

In the divine continent, the hierarchy is strict, and strength reigns supreme.

Everything is decided by the divine body.

The so-called "god" on the ancient Blue Star is equivalent to a domain traveler.

True gods like them are merely Dharma Aspect level experts.

Based on the information around him and what he had gathered, Zhang Lingfeng understood within two months that there were many kinds of divine bodies and true god realms.

The true God has nine levels, from top to bottom.

Only those who break through to level nine can become gods.

Each level corresponds to a different divine power.

According to the realm classification, Zhang Lingfeng discovered that he was only a Level 1 True God, and he could only enter the Level 2 realm after his divine power value broke through 100.0.

The difference in divine power between each level is 100 points.

Divine bodies are also divided into nine levels, from level one to level nine.

As expected, Zhang Lingfeng currently only possesses a Level 1 Divine Body.

In the God-level Continent, in bustling port cities like White Emperor City, a Level One True God is simply not enslaved. Like Immortal Lords and Immortal Emperors, they work as dockworkers or are chained and forced to work.

Of course, he could win Old Ou's favor.

The main reason is that Zhang Lingfeng may become a blacksmith in the future.

An eighth-level Soul Master, as long as they can control the divine runes, receive the baptism of the divine runes, and withstand the baptism, has a high chance of becoming a blacksmith.

With Lao Ou's acceptance.

Zhang Lingfeng also has a place to stay in Baidi City.

He usually lived in the courtyard with the group of people that Lao Ou had hired.

"Squeak!"

Zhang Lingfeng was applying oil to the deck.

This special animal oil, when applied to the deck, can prevent it from being corroded by the slime of sea monsters. If it gets on the body, it can form a hard, sticky armor that can even penetrate the skin and is very difficult to tear off, making it even more durable than a first-level divine body.

Cargo ships are not going to sea recently.

Old Ou had the people in the courtyard mend the cargo ship and then tow it back to the port to dock.

The cargo on the ship had been taken away by the merchants a month ago, and Zhang Lingfeng and the people in the courtyard were helping to repair the cargo ship.

Zhang Lingfeng tried to activate his soul energy to control the oil in the oil drums and evenly spread it on the deck and various parts of the ship.

These special deck oils need to be stirred vigorously, otherwise they will easily solidify and become unusable. Once spilled on the deck, they must be smoothed out quickly, otherwise they will harden within three to five breaths.

At that time, even the divine power of a level three true god would have difficulty tearing the ink apart.

Zhang Lingfeng attempted to control the ink using his soul energy.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very effective.

These inks are very thick.

Although he could control it and let it splash onto the deck, it was difficult to do so evenly, which would waste ink and create ink lumps on the deck, affecting the stacking of goods.

"You are so young. Once you have accumulated enough divine stones, you must find a divine inscription master to baptize you. Once you become a blacksmith, you will have a blessed life ahead of you."

Old He said.

He and Zhang Lingfeng lived in a tenement courtyard.

As an elder, he worked alongside Zhang Lingfeng on the deck.

"okay."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded as he worked, but he was much slower than the others, as if he was just dawdling and had never done this kind of hard labor before. He seemed to prefer to take advantage of the situation.

Old He is a sensible man.

I thought Zhang Lingfeng had some mental burdens, after all, he was an eighth-level Soul Yuan Master, who could potentially become a blacksmith, or even a Divine Inscription Master.

Doing odd jobs now definitely doesn't feel right.

Becoming a blacksmith or a divine rune master is not easy, especially for a divine rune master, who is even more precious than a blacksmith.

Old He is a worker that Old Ou has employed for many years. He possesses a level three divine body and his divine power value is close to 300 points. He is about to enter the level four divine body realm.

Once he becomes a Level 4 True God, he can do some relatively easy jobs, such as escorting goods or guarding the safety of cargo on ships. He only needs to be responsible for patrolling.

He didn't pay any attention to Zhang Lingfeng's slow behavior.

"After finishing the work on the deck, there is still work to be done inside the cabin. Raise your hand if you want to do it. We don't need too many people. It will take about a month."

Old Ou came over and called out.

He hired these people and provided them with divine rice every day to help them improve their divine power. If they went out to sea, they would receive more divine rice or more divine stones.

But cargo ships don't go to sea.

The people usually only have some sacred rice, which is equivalent to eating their own savings. Therefore, they usually scramble for jobs on the ship, since it is just physical labor and there is no danger.

"I!"

"And I."

……

Everyone raised their hands.

Old He was also in the crowd. He saw that Zhang Lingfeng was unmoved and tried to grab Zhang Lingfeng's wrist and raise his hand as well, but Zhang Lingfeng refused.

Zhang Lingfeng stood to the side yawning.

Old Ou, watching from another deck, shook his head slightly upon seeing this scene, realizing he might have come to the wrong person.

Zhang Lingfeng is so lazy that he can't even handle the job of applying deck oil. Even if he encounters the baptism of a divine inscription master in the future, he probably won't be able to withstand it. It will be very difficult for him to become a blacksmith.

But such people seem to believe deep down that they can definitely become blacksmiths and are unwilling to lower themselves to associate with Lao He and his group.

Keep in mind that he was only a first-level true god, and his divine power was at the bottom among everyone else.

If it weren't for the fact that he was an eighth-level Soul Master and might become a blacksmith in the future, and that people didn't want to offend him, then probably not many people would be willing to talk to him.

"Go ahead, I have something else to do."

Zhang Lingfeng knew Lao He's good intentions.

However, to gain "lying flat" points, one must practice "lying flat" to the end. The reason for living in Old Ou's courtyard is that Old Ou's father is giving lectures again, which they can attend for free. In addition, having a place to live makes it easier to gain "lying flat" points. That's all.

Of course, Zhang Lingfeng will also do his job well.

He disembarked from the boat.

With Lao Ou's help, he already had an identity and could freely enter and leave Baidi City. He came to Willow Alley, where there was a large courtyard.

Old Ou's family and the ship's workers all live here.

Old Ou's father is called Master Ou.

He was a powerful eighth-level true god with an eighth-level divine body. Although he was old and frail, he had extensive knowledge. He used to work on ships at sea, starting as a deckhand and gradually becoming a ship owner, eventually passing on his business to Xiao Ou.

After running for many years, Xiao Ou has become the old Ou we know today.

Uncle Ou loved to tell everyone about his experiences at sea when he was young, especially the war between the gods, and how the waves could capsize cargo ships when they were anchored on an island.

I almost turned over when I looked at the ocean.

Every time he talks about this, he does so vividly and with great enthusiasm.

But what he likes to do most is to guide the younger generation in their cultivation, hoping that the Ou family will produce a powerful god in the future, or that Ou himself can become an eighth-level or even a ninth-level true god as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the bloodline of the Ou family is too ordinary.

Even Old Ou himself was only a seventh-level True God. Most of Old Ou's descendants were first- or second-level True Gods, though they had only cultivated for a relatively short time. Old Ou used his savings from his shipbuilding work to raise his descendants, sending them to the Divine Academy to cultivate, hoping they could become successful under the guidance of the academy's teachers as soon as possible.

Every few days, Mr. Ou would conduct spot checks on them.

At this moment, many people have come to the courtyard to listen to Master Ou's lecture.

Zhang Lingfeng sat on the threshold, listening to Master Ou's explanation. At first, he was very interested, but later he found that it was the same old content, so he went into the room to sleep.

Lying flat value: 1235
Once you enter the God-level continent, it becomes much easier to obtain "lying down" points.

However, the "lying down" value has also been weakened.

Four million became four.

Over the course of more than a month, I accumulated more than 1,200 "lying down" points. If you add the last six zeros, it's equivalent to accumulating over a billion "lying down" points in a month on a god-level continent.

This is something that even in the world above, over hundreds of years, it would be impossible to obtain.

Unfortunately, Zhang Lingfeng has not yet obtained a divine cultivation method, so he cannot improve his divine power and divine body level. The main way to improve his strength is currently through those three bowls of divine rice.

However, after consuming the divine rice, one must undergo refinement and cultivation.

Zhang Lingfeng, who wanted to put the "lying down" policy into practice, obviously wouldn't quickly refine the divine rice he ate. Instead, the divine rice he ate could only be slowly digested in his body, causing a significant loss of divine power.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

Listening to Master Ou explain the essentials of cultivation, and taking this opportunity to practice lying down to the end, can earn you considerable lying down value income.

In the future, as long as one obtains a divine cultivation method, one can rapidly improve one's strength.

After Master Ou finished his lecture, everyone dispersed to go back and figure it out on their own. The room became lively again. Zhang Lingfeng looked out the window and saw Master Ou enter the room to drink tea. On his stool was an ancient book.

He couldn't resist going over to take a look.

The cover read "God-level cultivation technique".

"Want to see?"

Ou Ye's voice came from inside the room.

As the most powerful level eight true god in the courtyard, nothing in the courtyard could escape his eyes and senses.

"Ah."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

Zhang Lingfeng still held these older generation level eight true gods in awe.

"Want to cultivate?"

Master Ou brought out the teapot and took a sip from the spout.

"That's it!"

Zhang Lingfeng nodded again.

"What does 'consider' mean?"

Ou Ye was somewhat displeased.

“My son told me that a young fellow who might become a blacksmith has joined the fleet. I was originally full of expectations for you, but you are lazy and good-for-nothing all day long. You don’t pay attention in class, and you don’t work carefully. You always find people to play mahjong or cards with you. If you continue to stay in this yard, I’m afraid the people in the yard will be corrupted by you.”

"I'm furious," said Master Ou.

When I give a lecture, everyone listens attentively. Even if I've explained it many times, people don't want to miss a single moment. They always feel that each time they listen, they gain something new.

"Master Ou is right to reprimand me."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled wryly.

"Hmph, don't try to fool me. This cultivation manual is for you. Take it and start cultivating. If you can't become a Level Two True God within five years, then you're out of here."

"That's what Master Ou said."

It's absolutely impossible for a Level 1 True God to become a Level 2 True God within five years. Master Ou also knows that Zhang Lingfeng can't do it. The reason he's forcing Zhang Lingfeng is to correct his attitude and make him more diligent so that he can cultivate properly.

If I become a blacksmith in the future, perhaps I can help the Ou family.

Otherwise, if we continue to let it go, we will only lose more sacred rice, so it's better to drive it away.

Ou Ye also wanted to take a gamble.

Let's see if Zhang Lingfeng can become a blacksmith.

If Zhang Lingfeng truly has the potential to become a blacksmith, he would like to introduce his granddaughter to him. However, given Zhang Lingfeng's current attitude towards cultivation, everyone would want to stay far away from him.

Zhang Lingfeng's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, such a good thing happened. It turns out that this cultivation method was prepared for him by Master Ou. If he hadn't come out and wasn't interested in this cultivation method, he might have missed this opportunity.

"Thank you, Mr. Ou."

Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly picked it up to examine it.

"Remember what I told you, it's a five-year term."

"Master Ou reminded me."

"Hey, by the way, what's the highest level of True God this cultivation method can produce?"

Zhang Lingfeng inquired.

"This divine cultivation method was passed down from the Divine Academy. It is also known as the Overlord Body. When cultivated to its extreme, it can directly lead to the level of a god."

"Master Ou said proudly."

"My ancestor relied on this cultivation method to become a god-level expert, something countless people considered impossible. Back then, when he went to sea..."

Worried that Zhang Lingfeng wouldn't believe him, Master Ou started telling stories about his family history.

Zhang Lingfeng had already heard it countless times.

The Ou family was originally a wealthy family.

Our ancestors were once lower-level gods and owned property in Baidi City. Their children were not only able to enter the divine academy for cultivation, but could even receive baptism from divine rune masters.

It makes it easier for the body to achieve breakthroughs.

Unfortunately, during one of his ancestral voyages to transport important goods, Old Ou's family perished at sea, leading to the collapse of the family fortune overnight. In the years that followed, they sold off all their possessions.

It gradually declined.

They even lost their fleet.

It wasn't until Ou Ye went back to work as a porter that he was able to have a fleet of ships again.

Of course, the current fleet is obviously not the same size as the fleet owned by the ancestors back then. Only Master Ou knows how big the gap is.

When he talked about his ancestor, he felt a mix of pride, excitement, and deep frustration. If his ancestor were still alive, someone from his generation would surely have become a god.

Because the ancestors are alive, it means they would have access to various important cultivation resources.

"Hey, you little rascal, where are you?"

As Ou Ye spoke with great enthusiasm, he noticed that no one was responding. He turned around and saw that Zhang Lingfeng had disappeared. Back in his room, Zhang Lingfeng was squatting in a corner examining the cultivation manual.

This cultivation method is not a secret to the Ou family.

Many people in the fleet looked over.

However, because the cultivation method is too difficult to practice, and requires various resources to support it, the divine body can evolve.

Therefore, many people know about it, but few actually want to cultivate it.

Normally, only a novice like Zhang Lingfeng would cherish it like a treasure. Once they find it difficult to improve their divine power and make progress after cultivating, they will automatically give up.

Such things have happened to them before.
