A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 123 The Number One Under Heaven! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)
The thing Li Weizhou is most grateful for now is that he is neither arrogant nor stingy with 500,000 liters of blood for a single Blood Eye Illusion.

Five hundred thousand liters of blood, in human terms, is the total blood volume of one hundred thousand people.

Li Weizhou set up ten locations within Dayuan Mountain, most of which were far from Qingzhou City.

Finally, it worked at this moment.

Inside the Dayuan Mountain, they sped eastward at breakneck speed, using the Seven Star Step to its fullest extent.

Is this a demon?
This is a demon!
Human body, dressed, cat face!
But how was it able to catch up with him when he teleported?!
As Li Weizhou ran, he took off all his clothes, grabbed a deer, hung it on his body, and let it run in another direction.

Then he took out floral water and sprayed it all over himself.

When passing a river where ice and snow were melting, it even jumped in and splashed around a couple of times before continuing to run.

But none of it seems to work...

If it weren't for the cat demon's desire to capture him alive for further study, and the fact that Li Weizhou would always teleport at crucial moments, sacrificing nearly a million units of "human blood" to escape the "cat's claws," he might have already been caught.

Li Weizhou wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die in vain.

Depend on!
However, he could not get rid of him. Li Weizhou was going crazy. Did he really have to force him to take a big revolver and shoot him?
That definitely won't do. We have to use anti-tank mines to give those bastards a big surprise.

He didn't know how far he had gone into the Dayuan Mountains, but he could use Blood Escape to escape back to the mountain ridge and then run west again.

But it's pointless; if you can't get rid of this cat demon, you'll still die no matter where you go...

Li Weizhou made his decision: he would head to the capital.

There is a Grand Master of Justice in the Imperial Punishment Office, a God of War in the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and a God of War in the Imperial Palace.

With their help, they should be able to take down this cat demon... right?

However, as he ran, Li Weizhou discovered that there was a "sword" in front of him, which turned out to be a mountain that looked just like a sword.

Get a little closer, and you'll see three characters engraved on the sword:

Yuanjian Mountain!
"Ha ha!"

Li Weizhou exclaimed in surprise, quickened his pace, and dashed up the mountain.

Suddenly, it felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, instantly causing his waist to collapse.

Li Weizhou showed no intention of putting up a fight. He instantly fell to the ground, rolled over, got up, and continued running forward!

What's the point of being a master? Arrogance and pride are nothing compared to escaping for your life.

His actions clearly surprised the cat demon. The cat demon blinked its green eyes on its black face, then extended its paw and gave a feint. Li Weizhou screamed and fell to the ground with a "PIA." He then rolled to his feet and ran forward, shouting, "Help! I was invited by Qi Zhenkun to visit Yuanjian Mountain, but I was attacked by a monster! Elders of Yuanjian Mountain, save me! Fat... Brother! Qi Zhenkun!!"

The sound shook the world.

"what!!"

Li Weizhou was slammed flat on the ground again, truly flattened. He felt as if his bones were broken. He let out a miserable scream. Seeing no hope, he prepared to end his life, grabbing an anti-tank mine in each hand and turning back to fight that son of a bitch cat demon.

Even if he dies, we'll blow that beast's cat hair off!
Just then, two figures gracefully descended from the summit of Yuanjian Mountain.

A chubby old man carrying a giant sword on his back.

A slender man, who looked middle-aged, was wearing a blue Taoist robe.

This middle-aged man possessed an extraordinary air about him. Upon landing, he exchanged a Daoist greeting with the cat demon opposite him and said gently, "Why is Venerable Cat so enraged, disregarding even the boundary between immortals and mortals established by the Spirit Realm? The Ascension Gathering is only three years away, which will pass in the blink of an eye. Venerable Cat will achieve perfect merit in the Jiazi year and will soon return to the Spirit Realm. Why break the rules of the Upper Realm at this time, which would be a loss for you?"

The black cat glanced at him and said indifferently, "This person is malicious and uses evil magic to lure and kill spirit beasts."

The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at Li Weizhou in surprise. The fat old man glanced at Li Weizhou, noticing that his aura was clean, and said impatiently, "Did he kill him inside or outside the circle? If he killed him inside, that's his skill. If you couldn't stop him inside, that's your incompetence. Chasing him out is breaking the rules! What, do you want to kill someone right in front of the Grand Master? If you dare to utter another word, I'll kill you today!"

Li Weizhou glanced at the middle-aged Taoist priest and was surprised to find that this was the same person who was the number one expert in the world, Da Sizheng, whom Situ Qingyue had mentioned as wanting to forcefully open the Heavenly Gate.

All 365 major acupoints in the body are perfectly complete and without leakage...

Impressive! But can it really kill the cat demon that left him powerless to resist?
I do not believe……

Why don't you give it a try, Grand Master?

As his mind raced, he heard the Grand Master's voice, still gentle but firm, advising, "Cat Venerable, the world is in order, and immortals and mortals are distinct. The calamity of the spirit beasts two hundred years ago must never be repeated. What True Person Tianxuan said is not without reason; Venerable should not have come out."

The black cat tilted its head, seemingly curiously staring at the two humans who were chattering away, and asked, "You... can kill me?"

The fat old man had a rather explosive temper, and he wanted to show the cat demon whether he could kill it. He drew his sword and rose up, and Yuanjian Mountain in the distance seemed to echo his voice, emitting a "clang" sound. The fat old man let out a long howl and slashed out with his sword.

Li Weizhou originally knew nothing about this, but at this moment, he repeatedly deduced the sword in his mind and absorbed it bit by bit.

Good swordsmanship.

The Grand Master nodded slightly in approval.

This is the first of the seven Haotian styles in Yuan Jianshan's "Haotian Sword Technique": Haoyang Piercing the Sun!

The black cat demon's green eyes flashed upon seeing this, and its figure vanished from the spot. When it reappeared, it was already standing in mid-air in front of the fat old man. With a sudden swipe of its paw, a series of clanging sounds rang out. By the time Li Weizhou could see clearly, the fat old man landed panting heavily, taking three steps back.

The black cat demon took a slight step back, glanced at the fat old man, and then looked away, focusing instead on the Grand Master.

The Grand Master didn't say anything more. He could tell that the cat demon was probably just bored and had come out to find some fun.

Otherwise, when he fought with Master Tianxuan just now, he would have used his full strength instead of stopping short of a direct confrontation.

It's clear that it still fears the rules of the spirit world...

The Grand Master pointed his fingers like a sword and flashed in front of the black cat demon. The figures of the man and the cat kept changing, and Li Weizhou couldn't see them clearly, but they seemed very powerful.

Strange, he wondered to himself. He was a peerless master who had passed the third level of the martial arts test, yet he couldn't even see these trivial movements clearly?!
He was unaware that the three realms of the Profound Pass were a ladder to heaven, one step at a time. Upon reaching the third realm, the Martial God realm, after the 360 ​​acupoints, each acupoint represented a different level of heaven.

This is the pinnacle of martial arts in the mortal realm, vastly different from the cultivation of immortality and the absorption of vital energy in the spirit realm.

To put it bluntly, it's more similar to the path taken by spirit beasts.

Just a few breaths later, the Grand Master stood back in his original position, while the black cat demon, with a humanoid torso, had a corner torn on the shoulder of his black robe.

The Grand Master's gaunt face remained calm as he looked at the cat demon and said, "Your Excellency, please return."

The black cat demon didn't say anything more to him, but looked at Li Weizhou and said, "Let me see your thunderbolt, and I won't bother with you anymore."

"..."

Li Weizhou was speechless. He took out an apple grenade with a blank expression and tossed it to the black cat.

The black cat looked at what was in its paws, then at Li Weizhou.

Li Weizhou took out another one, pulled out the pin, and threw it out...

"BANG!"

Seeing this, the black cat demon's green eyes lit up, it blinked, and continued to look at Li Weizhou.

Li Weizhou let out a breath, determined that once he became an Immortal Emperor, he would have a good talk with this cat demon. No one had ever extorted him before... so he just left it with the two of them again.

But not wanting to be taken advantage of, I asked, "How come you can find me no matter where I go?"

The black cat demon, with a hint of smugness in its blue eyes, touched its nose with its paw and then disappeared...

Li Weizhou cursed inwardly without expression before getting up and greeting the two big shots: "Li Weizhou, Chief of the Imperial Criminal Justice Bureau, pays his respects to the Grand Justice." He then said to the fat old man: "I have become close friends with Brother Fatty and Brother Qi since we were young, like brothers. I am deeply grateful for your help today."

The fat old man suddenly remembered: "Did you provide the seasoning for Ah Kun's stewed chicken?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "Both Fatty and I like it."

The Grand Master chuckled and looked at Li Weizhou gently, saying, "The Heavenly Thunder that Situ used to kill the Dharma Master, is that the kind we just saw?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "The one that Sister Situ uses is more powerful."

The Grand Master asked, "So you used those spirit beasts you killed?"

Li Weizhou chuckled dryly and nodded, explaining, "I want to open up the Dayuan Mountain and build a road to connect the north and south, so that grain from Shu Prefecture can be delivered to Yong Prefecture. The north has suffered a severe drought for two years, and although the Li family has done its utmost to provide relief, it's still a drop in the ocean, and too many people are suffering. I've been saving up for over a year's worth of grain and have gathered a considerable number of people. We'll start construction next spring. However, a group of strange beasts live in the remote mountain ridges, and I'm worried they might come out and harm people, so..."

The fat old man looked at Li Weizhou in surprise and said, "Are you really planning to cut down mountains and build roads to open up Dayuan Mountain?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "It's true, I've been quite lucky and have received a lot of benefits, so I wanted to do what I could to give back to the people. I might not succeed, but if I can't, I have my son, and if my son can't, I have my grandson. Generation after generation, we'll eventually build a road connecting the north and south. By then, I think there will be fewer tragic cases of people selling their children in years of famine. I just never expected that I would almost cause such a disaster right from the start!"

The illusory image of the stone mirror in the sea of ​​consciousness radiated faint rings of light, striving to mold an honest and reliable young man...

The fat old man was even more surprised. They had been young once too, and had been in their prime. They knew all too well what young people should be thinking.

Shouldn't the goal be to become the best in the martial arts world, the best in the land?
Only when they reach their current age do they understand what it means to have "already understood the vastness of the universe, yet still cherish the green of grass and trees."

This is not the Confucian concept of benevolence, but rather one's own understanding of life, destiny, and the path of the Tao, and one's perception of the universe and every blade of grass and tree.

But this Li Weizhou...

That's very interesting.

The Grand Master of Justice was clearly at a higher level, having already surpassed that realm. He looked at Li Weizhou and said, "So that's how it is. You actually opened the Hidden God Palace. Spatial supernatural power, truly enviable. No wonder you gained Situ's favor... Ha, the Hidden God Palace, what great fortune."

At this moment, even he, the so-called number one person in the world, was envious.

Even if he succeeds in opening the heavens in the future and goes to the spirit world, he still may not be able to compare with this chosen one.

This is fate; it cannot be forced.

……

P.S.: I thought one extra chapter a day, or three extra chapters every three days, would be just right...
