The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 383 Only a fool would do something that doesn't bring them any benefit.

Li Jingxiao and Dhritarashtra were discussing sonic techniques inside the Western Heavenly Gate, while waiting for Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

After waiting for a while, he even picked up the Heavenly King's pipa and played a few tunes.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Golden Horn and Silver Horn returned to the Western Heavenly Gate.

During this half hour, if Li Jingxiao hadn't refrained from using his magic, he would have been able to achieve such results.

The marshals and generals inside and outside the Western Heavenly Gate were probably already begging Li Jingxiao to stop playing the pipa.

The rings and necklaces that Li Jingxiao was equipped with, which were obtained from the game, were all treasures that could enhance the power of spells.

So even without using his magic, the sound of the pipa could still affect the minds of the gods and marshals.

Dhritarashtra, the Heavenly King, was extremely envious of Li Jingxiao's talent in sonic attacks.

He thought to himself, "No wonder Laozi accepted him as his personal disciple."

When Li Jingxiao saw Jinjiao and Yinjiao fly to his side, he asked, speechless.

"Do you two brothers always travel this slowly?"

Golden Horn and Silver Horn were stunned for a few seconds before they came to their senses.

He said irritably, "Young master, not everyone has your talent."

"The two of us brothers can fly 20,000 to 30,000 miles in an hour, which isn't considered slow."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao found it difficult to refute.

I didn't learn the Golden-Winged Roc's "Soaring Ten Thousand Miles" technique in the past.

There is also the Lightning Release technique.

The speed of sword control is only 8,000 to 10,000 miles per hour.

Later, the sword control technique was upgraded again, but the speed was only 20,000 to 30,000 miles per hour.

After arriving in the Journey to the West world, "Shrinking the Abyss" also upgraded from traveling 100 miles in one step to 200 miles and then 500 miles in one step.

This is also considered an extremely fast method of flight.

Even mastering the "Shrinking the Abyss" technique to its fullest extent only allows one to travel ten thousand miles in a single step.

Compared to "A Bright Future," it's like traveling 30,000 to 50,000 miles in an instant

There's also the Lightning Release technique that allows you to travel 30,000 miles in an instant, plus the boots you get from the game that increase speed by 100%.

Traveling 60,000 li in an instant does seem too slow.

However, this was because Li Jingxiao had cultivated only the most advanced flying techniques.

For others to travel 20,000 to 30,000 li in an hour, like Golden Horn and Silver Horn, is already quite fast.

At least Pigsy's speed is slower than theirs.

And it's much slower.

Li Jingxiao shook his head helplessly. He had originally planned to teach the two brothers the Heavenly Gang Technique of "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth".

But then I thought, there must be some powerful superhuman speed techniques in the Tushita Palace.

Jinjiao and Yinjiao either couldn't learn it or weren't willing to put in the effort.

So Li Jingxiao thought about it and decided against it.

If he really had that time and energy, he'd be better off teaching his women more.

After returning the pipa to Dhritarashtra, Li Jingxiao placed his hands on the shoulders of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn respectively.

In a flash, he was back in the Tushita Palace.

The Golden Horn and Silver Horn couldn't help but marvel at what they saw.

He realized to himself that it was no wonder his young master complained about how slow he and his brother were.

The Heavenly Palace is actually very large.

Moreover, the distance between each layer is actually not short.

From the Western Heavenly Gate to the Tushita Palace in the Thirty-Third Heaven, it is at least several thousand miles.

Their arrival in an instant truly amazed Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

He muttered to himself that the old man's speed didn't seem to be much faster than Li Jingxiao's.

Li Jingxiao scoffed at these words.

When the "Shrinking the Abyss" technique is cultivated to its highest level, a single step can cover ten thousand miles.

With Laozi's strength, he is definitely much more powerful than this.

Moreover, the Purple Lightning Hammer given by Lingbao Daozun possesses its own lightning escape ability, covering 30,000 li in an instant. In other words, in Lingbao Daozun's eyes, although the Purple Lightning Hammer is powerful, it is not considered a particularly valuable treasure.

The Three Pure Ones might be able to traverse the entire Three Realms with a single thought.

It can even transcend time and space, allowing you to go wherever you want.

This goes beyond the scope of magic treasures, supernatural speed techniques, supernatural powers, and Taoist practices.

Of course, it's highly unlikely that you can travel from the Journey to the West world to the Investiture of the Gods world.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao could clearly sense that the combat power of the Journey to the West world was far inferior to that of the Investiture of the Gods world.

Li Jingxiao casually tossed the Golden Horn and Silver Horn pieces onto the ground before the two brothers could even complain.

He then adopted the air of a direct descendant of the Taiqing lineage, staring at the two brothers and saying, "From now on, I will be keeping an eye on your cultivation."

If you continue to slack off as before, you two will be severely punished.

Upon hearing this, both Golden Horn and Silver Horn immediately wore bitter expressions.

In the past, relying on Laozi's indulgence, these two brothers were indeed not very proactive in their cultivation.

Of course, since his talent was limited, Laozi did try his best to teach and supervise him back then.

In the end, they gave up, which made it seem like they were being indulged.

Therefore, Laozi wholeheartedly agreed that Li Jingxiao was willing to play the villain.

Even if Li Jingxiao were willing to take over all the affairs of the Tushita Palace, Laozi would most likely just dump everything on him.

Back when Li Jingxiao was still in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

He was very unwilling to manage the affairs of the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, leaving them all to Qin Keqing and Jia Yuanchun.

It's because Li Jingxiao understands very well that as long as his strength surpasses everyone else's...

It even surpassed several levels.

Even if you don't manage things yourself, you are still the one in charge.

When Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun also began cultivating, they too became unwilling to concern themselves with worldly affairs.

It was then handed over to Wang Xifeng.

Therefore, after Li Jingxiao became Laozi's personal disciple, he was never seen managing any affairs in the Tushita Palace other than alchemy.

To put it bluntly, power is not determined by how many people you control.

Rather, it is your own strength that determines the extent of your true power.

The reason why the Three Pure Ones can rise above the Four Emperors is ultimately because their strength is greater than that of the Jade Emperor and the others.

Li Jingxiao had already seen this clearly in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

As for disciplining Golden Horn and Silver Horn, it's just a matter of saying a few more words.

If these two brothers really do become stronger, then every time I get them drunk, I'll gain even more experience.

Li Jingxiao is only willing to waste his time and energy if there are benefits.

Otherwise, who cares whether you're diligently cultivating yourself?

Upon entering the alchemy room, he met Laozi.

The old man's expression was much more serious than before.

However, Li Jingxiao had figured out the old man's temperament and didn't mention refining the golden pill at all.

Let's just talk about the young man named Li Xuan that was found on Mount Hua.

However, Laozi's reaction made Li Jingxiao realize something.

At this moment, the old man didn't care much about Li Xuan, or rather, the future Tieguai Li.

That makes sense when you think about it. If Li Xuanzhen could really become an immortal and attain enlightenment, then Tieguai Li would not have appeared.

To put it bluntly, this person has talent, but places too much emphasis on appearance.

During his months at Mount Hua, Li Jingxiao easily discerned from this young man's excessive focus on his appearance and attire that he lacked character.

The drawbacks are too obvious.

Only when he is reborn into a corpse, becoming a lame and slovenly beggar, can he truly see through illusion and achieve immortality.

Or perhaps, Laozi needed a disciple who was both slovenly and disabled.

The Taoist school has developed to the point where it appears to be too lofty and sophisticated.

Being separated from the faith community means that one will gradually lose followers.
