A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 143 A Master and a Commoner, A Peerless Sword Immortal

"Li Lang, the Shangqing Palace is searching for the founding opportunity left by their patriarch. That opportunity was originally on Xiao Yichen's arm. After the arm was severed, you hung it there for two days before Qi Zhenkun sent it back to the Shangqing Palace. But now, that opportunity has vanished without a trace. Do you know what happened?"

Upon entering the cabin, Situ Qingyue looked at Li Weizhou and asked him earnestly.

Li Weizhou was surprised and said, "What's wrong? The opportunity at Shangqing Palace just disappeared, didn't it?" He seemed a little guilty.

When he set up the scheme, he had no idea that Xiao Yichen had such a great opportunity in his arm; it was something unexpected.

But once the duck is in your mouth, you can't just spit it out no matter what...

Situ Qingyue shook her head and said, "The acting sect leader of Yuanjian Mountain, Wei Xiya, and the current sect leader, Tianxuan Daoist, brought Qi Zhenkun to the capital. They found the Grand Master and asked him to personally examine the matter to confirm that Qi Zhenkun did not possess the opportunity lost by Shangqing Palace."

This was an unprecedented event, and even the Grand Master of Ceremonies felt considerable pressure.

Furthermore, Daoist Tianxuan told me that because Qi Zhenkun, along with Monk Donghai, Wen Zaixing, and others, had been searching for me on the day we killed the Demonic Sect Leader, Yuanjian Mountain acknowledged that Qi Zhenkun had lost his arm. It was because Qi Zhenkun was inferior in both skill and intelligence, so he reaped what he sowed, and you cannot be blamed.

So, is the opportunity at Shangqing Palace truly in your hands?

For people at their level, many things don't actually require so-called evidence.

Once the cause and effect are established, the answer becomes self-evident.

Li Weizhou blinked, not denying it, and even said confidently, "Yeah!"

Situ Qingyue smiled slightly, looking at Li Weizhou and saying, "You're too bold... and you underestimate the Eight Sects too much. The Jin Prince's Mansion is just an anomaly; not all of them are as worthless as they are. The Eight Princes and Eight Sects combined are only one, and it's only because there are too few people traveling down Yuanjian Mountain that the Jin Prince's Mansion has been able to muddle through for so many years. The other princes' mansions are generally alright, but none of the Eight Sects are easy to deal with."

Which sect doesn't have a peerless figure capable of forcibly opening the Heavenly Gate?

Li Lang, in the Sword Tomb of Yuanjian Mountain, there is more than one Wei Xiya alive. While only one person per generation descends the mountain, there are also sword furnaces and sword-washing pools on Yuanjian Mountain, with at least twenty sword slaves. Only those with exceptional swordsmanship talent can undertake this task.

Although the Shangqing Palace sect is nearly extinct, there are still countless experts outside. After all, the main purpose of leaping over the Dragon Gate is to hone one's spiritual potential; some people who dislike the sect will seek refuge in other famous mountains and rivers. Aren't you afraid these people will come looking for you?"

"But I can't just let people take advantage of me all the time without fighting back, can I?"

Li Weizhou was speechless, then paused and sneered, "I don't believe that masters live deep in the mountains. They're not immortals who can abstain from grains; they still need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. Even if there are ascetic cultivators, last year when Shangqing Palace was almost riddled with holes by the Demonic Sect, they should have heard the commotion and gone back. If there are one or two who escaped, I'll deal with them. If Yuanjian Mountain is not satisfied, they can come and find me."

He really didn't believe that there was a third Po Jiu in Yuanjian Mountain. Even if he was talented enough, where would he find so many resources to support so many old ghosts?

Do you really think that breaking the ninth day of the lunar calendar is like rotten cabbage?

Situ Qingyue said helplessly, "Don't say things out of spite. You... if I hadn't taken advantage of the fact that the old monsters from the two major sects were exhausted after fighting for more than a month, and killed that old ghost from Shangqing Palace, how could you have fought him if he had really come to kill us? Even I wouldn't have been a match for him."

Li Weizhou suddenly smiled and looked at her, saying, "When that time comes, don't try to take the lead. Leave it to me. I will not only take them to find opportunities, but also to meet the immortals. You, and the other three, must trust me. I'm not acting out of spite, nor am I trying to scheme against anyone. If I weren't absolutely certain, how could I dare to act rashly?"

How amazing is he? He uses himself as the sole scapegoat. Ten kilograms of RDX isn't enough? Would a hundred kilograms be enough? If a hundred kilograms isn't enough? Would a ton be enough?

Killing a top-tier figure like the Grand Master is indeed difficult, but not absolutely impossible.

Not to mention others?
Even if the environment is not favorable for Rashkin's performance, he still has trump cards and supernatural abilities.

The spirit world dares not speak for itself, for the power of spiritual energy is truly extraordinary.

However, in the mortal realm, there is no one he cannot kill.

Seeing Li Weizhou's confidence, Situ Qingyue looked at him and slowly nodded, saying, "I believe you. To be able to escape hundreds of miles from the Cat Venerable, you are stronger than anyone thinks. Even the Grand Master told Wei Xiya that it was a wise move for Yuanjian Mountain not to provoke you."

Upon hearing this, Li Weizhou narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Situ Qingyue nodded and said, "That's what the Grand Master said to Yuan Jianshan. Yuan Jianshan listened to him and dared not disobey. Li Lang, the Grand Master is different from others; he is truly unfathomable. Since ancient times, there have been very few who have been able to forcefully open the Heavenly Gate, and the Grand Master is recognized as the most promising one in the past five hundred years. The Grand Master is the strongest person in the world."

Li Weizhou glanced at him and said, "Little Yue'er, what do you mean? Are you afraid I'll provoke the Grand Master? I'm not stupid. Why would I go and provoke him for no reason? He can even win against that little black cat from the Spirit Realm! However, if he really doesn't follow the rules and forces me to bow down, then I can only give him a chance at immortality."

From a cultivation perspective alone, he sometimes even felt that the true geniuses in the world were actually not afraid of being cheated out of their abilities...

But from the perspective of life and death, it's not that big of a deal.

Situ Qingyue looked at Li Weizhou and smiled, "Alright, I was just giving you a heads-up, afraid you'd suffer. If we really do get into a fight, won't we all face it together? I'm telling you this so you're aware of the situation. Li Lang, I need to use the Thunder Pool. Killing that old monster in the Shangqing Palace has already exhausted my thunder power."

Li Weizhou's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Shall I help you charge it?"

Situ Qingyue refused to agree, laughing, "It's not right for Yue Niang to still be up there."

Li Weizhou reasoned, "It's about practicing martial arts..."

Situ Qingyue wasn't as indulgent as Qi Erniang and Feng Biwu. She glared at him, and Li Weizhou snorted, summoning the generator and connecting electrodes to Situ Qingyue.

However, he held his face and nibbled for quite a while, until his lips went numb and he felt a slight electric shock before he stood up and exclaimed in amazement, "Moon, you have mastered the power of lightning to such an extent?"

Such meticulous operation was definitely beyond Li Weizhou's capabilities. When he used his penis to electrify others, it would just produce a crackling sound of electricity, and he had even been reprimanded by Situ Qingyue for trying to use it on Zhou Yueniang and the others…

Situ Qingyue looked at Li Weizhou and smiled, "You have too much good fortune and too many opportunities, but not all of them are good things, so it's easy to not cherish them. Li Lang, you should choose a major cultivation method and cultivate it carefully, so as not to waste such a great opportunity."

Li Weizhou is currently blessed with good fortune, but his training is haphazard and disorganized, lacking any systematic approach. He doesn't even know a complete set of sword techniques, which worries Situ Qingyue.

In fact, those who have left a strong mark on history are not the most talented or the most fortunate, but the most persevering and hardworking.

Countless once-shining geniuses, however, relied too much on their talent and opportunities, ultimately fading into obscurity or dying young.

Situ Qingyue didn't want Li Weizhou to go down this path.

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "I understand. Zhang Wanyi's father has gifted me his ultimate martial art, the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Revolving Fist,' and Abbot Xuanku of Leiyin Temple has also agreed. I'll go to Xixing Mountain in Yuzhou later, and they'll let me into the Guiyuan Scripture Pavilion to view the 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill.' Combining the two should be a perfect match. My wife, you wouldn't mind if your husband shaved his head, would you?"

Judging from the attitude of this world towards the stone mirror, he dared not let the little sword and the cultivation technique it carried easily reveal themselves, and needed to find a good way to conceal the technique.

He planned to use the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" and the body-refining techniques he would find in the Spirit Realm to cover up his true intentions before finally mastering the "Undying Sword Body".

That technique was too domineering and had no concealment, so Li Weizhou dared not let it appear in the world.

Situ Qingyue nodded and then asked, "You don't like practicing swordsmanship?"

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and replied, "My swordsmanship talent is extraordinary, and the mortal realm cannot tolerate it. I will try again after I ascend to the spirit realm."

Situ Qingyue was utterly speechless.

However, before she could speak, Li Weizhou suddenly faced her, forehead to forehead, and then within the Hidden God Palace, the illusory image of the small sword suddenly began to slowly rotate!
The sword shadows flickered in the air, and the profoundness of the sword intent made Li Weizhou feel as if he had become a peerless sword immortal, his whole being enveloped in this peerless sword intent.

"..."

Situ Qingyue sat there in a daze, fully sensing the sword intent that Li Weizhou was transmitting to her. After a long while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she sat up straight, saying, "Li Lang, I have gained a great understanding of the way of the sword. You should go up first." She then glared at him and complained, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" It was rare for her to show such a girlish side.

If she had been given more time to comprehend this earlier, she would have been confident in protecting him even if several sword saints came down from Yuanjian Mountain.

Li Weizhou: "..."

He may not understand the world of geniuses, but that doesn't matter; he can bully geniuses.

After embracing this stunningly beautiful and talented goddess and giving her a good kiss, he quickly ran away before Situ Qingyue could get angry!

……

"Giggle!"

Li Weizhou went up to the deck and saw that the three girls were all laughing.

He walked to the helm to take over the yacht, but Zhou Yueniang wouldn't let him, asking Li Weizhou, "Is Sister Situ alright?"

Li Weizhou shook his head and said calmly, "I gave him some pointers, and he broke through."

A burst of giggles came from the sofa area.

Li Weizhou shook his head regretfully. These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth...

Zhou Yueniang laughed and playfully said to him, "We just passed a passenger ship. A few people were drinking on the deck. When they saw our ship, they leaned on the railing, waved and shouted. I don't know if they thought they saw a miracle or a demon."

yeah?
Li Weizhou glanced at his wife. "She's even making fun of her husband now?"
Zhou Yueniang giggled playfully, clearly in a good mood.

Feng Biwu walked over and said to Zhou Yueniang, "Madam, go have a drink. I'll give it a try."

Li Weizhou took out a bag of braised duck heads and necks and said, "You guys go eat, I'll open it."

Neither of the women were pretentious; they took the oil paper bag and went to the back while chatting and laughing.

Li Weizhou felt even better. What could be happier than enjoying the unique beauty of this world with the one you love?
They are all people who have shared life and death. With the help of a divine connection, they have achieved the ability to share both good fortune and hardship, which can be considered a beautiful thing with a clear understanding of each other.

Being alone may seem carefree, but it can also be lonely at times. Always being secretive and evasive seems rather petty...

Of course, as for something as extraordinary as the Blood Eye, I probably won't be able to be honest about it for the rest of my life.

He might only say that if one day he cultivates to the point where he is invincible and even the heavens cannot kill him.

It's not just a matter of caution; there's no need to unnecessarily put pressure on them or even bring them disaster.

These things in front of us don't even have a trace of spiritual energy; to put it bluntly, they are just mechanical secrets and ingenious tricks.

Even ordinary people in the mortal world might be able to do it in a few hundred years.

Therefore, wise people wouldn't care.

The spiritual mechanism is the most fundamental law of heaven and earth.

Without the right conditions, ordinary people could never reach it even after thousands of years.

Therefore, as long as it doesn't involve inspiration, everything is considered low-class, and there's really no need to make a fuss about it.

"With this ship, even if our family runs a security escort business, we can earn a mountain of gold."

Zhou Yueniang said with a smile as she nibbled on the duck head meat.

Holding a wine glass, Feng Biwu's stunning beauty was further accentuated. She leaned languidly against the sofa, gazing at the surging river at the stern of the ship, and chuckled, "If my family were just a镖局 (escort agency), owning such a magnificent vessel would surely be snatched up by the powerful and wealthy. We're living like immortals now, somewhat detached from worldly concerns. But sometimes, thinking about it, living like this for the rest of our lives isn't so bad. A lifetime of happiness is already a rare blessing; how could we dare to be greedy and wish for eternity?"

Qi Erniang laughed disdainfully, "If we don't go to the Spirit Realm, in thirty or fifty years, Madam and Lord Situ will still be in their prime, and the young master will be at the peak of his life, while you and I will have become haggard old women, our beauty fading. I wonder if you will still feel happy then!"

Feng Biwu didn't mind at all, and chuckled, "If he really dislikes me, how can it be the fault of time?"

Li Weizhou's voice drifted over from afar: "I'm not even here, so you can't just pin a baseless charge on an innocent person like me, can you?"

The three women laughed. Zhou Yueniang comforted Feng Biwu, saying, "No, my husband is a man of great affection and loyalty."

Feng Biwu nodded and said, "I believe that. Any other man would have been flirting with the Empress Dowager and trying to climb the social ladder."

Qi Erniang cursed, "That slut, she was well-behaved when she was the Crown Princess, but now that she's the Empress Dowager, she's so slutty that she can't even suppress it! If Li Lang just nods his head, he can sleep on the phoenix bed tonight."

Li Weizhou chuckled as he steered the boat, and Zhou Yueniang rolled her eyes at him, saying irritably, "Still laughing!"

Then, surprised, she asked the two of them, "Why is she like this?"

Feng Biwu shook her head and said, "Why do I like the martial world? Although there is deceit and treachery in the martial world, it is ultimately free. But in that forbidden palace..."

Qi Erniang sighed, "Everywhere is twisted and oppressive, suffocatingly so. The Empress Dowager has lived in constant fear for so many years, it's a miracle she hasn't gone mad. Now that she's finally in power, she's bound to be a bit too unrestrained."

Although she hadn't met the Empress Dowager, she had heard Feng Biwu recount her experiences in the palace. While surprised by the Empress Dowager's change, she could understand it to some extent.

Feng Biwu said, "Don't even mention her, even the little emperor is so young, yet he's already so cunning and scheming. He has more than a hundred thoughts running through his mind. I think that mother and son will have a showdown sooner or later."

Li Weizhou's voice came again: "Look at the bright moon in the sky, look at the surging river and the poetic evening breeze, look at all the beauty in this world, all of which are healing the wounds left by our past lives. Why can't you let yourselves off the hook? Why are you talking about those unlucky things?"

Qi Erniang replied earnestly, "Because it's so much fun talking about these things!" Zhou Yueniang and Feng Biwu both burst into laughter, and Li Weizhou chuckled too. Women, oh women…

He lightly patted his mouth and said, "It was my fault. I forgot that men and women have different interests. I was too talkative. You guys continue, you guys continue."

The three women were truly engrossed, chatting about palace secrets, romantic tales between martial arts sects, and everyday family matters.

Although Li Weizhou found their conversation uninteresting, their voices were pleasant and their smiles were bright.

Under the moonlight, he focused intently on navigating his small boat, watching for underwater markings and reefs, and swiftly sailed towards the open sea...

……

The next morning.

The sea, soaked by the night, resembled an overturned inkstone, still as black as ink.

The white yacht rested quietly on the sea, with only the occasional soft rustling of the hull against the gentle waves.

Thankfully it's a dual-purpose vessel for both river and sea travel, otherwise we would have had to change ships.

After refilling the oil with the nozzle, Li Weizhou looked at the sky and called out all four women.

After a night of seclusion, Situ Qingyue looked even better. She even imitated Zhou Yueniang, using only a piece of blue silk to tie her long hair behind her back, making the two look more and more like sisters.

Li Weizhou, pleased, smiled and said, "Watching the sunrise in the morning and admiring the moonrise in the evening on the open sea are rare and beautiful sights. Let's enjoy the scenery while having breakfast. And then watch the sunset and moonrise together in the evening. What a blessing in life!"

The four women laughed and sat around the sofa, chatting and laughing softly as they waited for the sunrise.

"Did my sister have some breakthrough last night?"

Zhou Yueniang asked Situ Qingyue.

Everyone else looked over as well. Situ Qingyue nodded and said, "Quite a haul."

Qi Erniang said happily, "Lord Situ, was it really Li Lang who instructed you?"

A soft laugh rang out. Situ Qingyue glanced at the smug Li Weizhou and, surprisingly, did not deny it, saying, "You could say that."

Li Weizhou pointed at the three people repeatedly with his finger, scolding them, "Listen to this, listen to this! Now you know how powerful your husband is!"

Zhou Yueniang glared at him and said to Situ Qingyue, "He's never even practiced swordsmanship!"

Situ Qingyue smiled and said, "He had a fortuitous encounter... After you opened the Hidden God Palace, you obtained metal-type divine abilities. You are a natural-born swordsman. Do you want to learn swordsmanship? You still have more than two years to learn, so don't waste them. Not touching the spiritual energy of heaven and earth does not mean stopping. Whether in the spirit world or the mortal world, the way of the sword and the intent of the sword are the same, and the will of martial arts is also the same. They are all endless and have no upper limit."

Zhou Yueniang said somewhat shyly, "I like swordsmanship."

Situ Qingyue laughed and said, "Alright, do whatever is convenient."

Feng Biwu said, "Since you are so diligent, you will surely become a top expert after you ascend to the Spirit Realm."

Situ Qingyue shook her head and said, "According to the records of the Imperial Punishment Bureau, the Spirit Realm is more than a hundred times larger than the Mortal Realm, and the population is also much larger. Geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and many have extraordinary encounters. In comparison, I may not be considered outstanding. However, as long as I cultivate diligently, there will always be a day when I can catch up."

Zhou Yueniang asked curiously, "Why would the Imperial Punishment Department have records of the spirit world?"

Situ Qingyue smiled and said, "It is said that in ancient times, the three realms were actually connected. Later, the world underwent great changes, and there was even a rebellious human emperor who, angered by the injustice of the heavens, attacked the heavens. In short, the three realms lost their connection afterward, and only by paying a certain price could they be connected again. The spirit realm and the mortal realm are still okay, but the immortal realm has truly been severed for a long time. These ancient texts are mostly the result of exchanges between the Grand Masters of the Spirit Realm and the Lords of the Spirit Realm throughout the ages."

Huh, the Lord of the Spirit Circle?

All four of them turned their gazes toward Li Weizhou.

Li Weizhou was "shocked and enraged," and said in a fit of rage, "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't communicate with that black cat."

Feng Biwu couldn't help but laugh. He liked to drink early in the morning, and after taking a sip, he said, "Luckily, it's a nine-tailed spirit cat, not a nine-tailed spirit fox." The legendary fox spirit was something else entirely.

Qi Erniang asked curiously, "Sir, can demons from the spirit realm descend to the mortal world to serve as officials?"

Situ Qingyue shook her head and said, "Those are called spirit beasts. Spirit beasts were originally the masters of the spirit realm. Later, humans attained enlightenment and gradually grew in power, which allowed them to rival us. However, spirit beasts are still the most powerful force in the spirit realm, unmatched by the three great spirit emperor palaces. All the forces of humanity combined can only barely contend with them. However, they have the advantage of a fast breeding speed, unlike the spirit beasts, where the stronger the beast, the more difficult it is for its offspring to grow up, and they need a long time to mature."

Li Weizhou suddenly chuckled, earning him eye rolls from the others.

They had all privately agreed to have children in the spirit world...

Situ Qingyue continued, "Although the two races are of different ethnicities, they share common enemies, the Sin Clan and the Demon Realm. Therefore, they have a basis for cooperation. Over countless years, the two races have basically reached a consensus on the rules of coexistence. They seek survival through struggle and cooperation, usually fighting at the same level, and the taboo is that powerful beings are not allowed to wantonly slaughter the weak."

Li Weizhou became curious and asked, "What is the Sin Clan?"

Situ Qingyue said, "I don't know much about them either. It is said that they are the descendants of those who were angry and punished the heavens in the ancient times. They are rejected by heaven and earth and cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They can only cultivate by hunting cultivators and spirit beasts. In particular, the speed of cultivation is extremely fast after hunting cultivators."

Qi Erniang frowned and said, "Does that sound even worse than the Demonic Sect?"

Li Weizhou and Zhou Yueniang both looked at her at the same time...

Girl, what's going on?
Seeing this, Situ Qingyue couldn't help but laugh twice and said, "The most dangerous thing is that if they don't make a move, you can't see their true strength at all, so they are extremely dangerous. But it's okay for us. As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Li Weizhou asked curiously, "How so?"

Situ Qingyue said, "As long as we all open the Hidden Divine Palace and awaken our innate supernatural powers, we can use spells and supernatural powers anytime and anywhere. With a thought, the supernatural powers will be formed. Unlike others, who need to perform hand seals, chanting, and mobilizing spiritual power to use powerful spells. This is the advantage of innate supernatural powers. One step ahead means every step ahead. Strike first and you're king."

Li Weizhou asked, "The Sin Clan is still a greater threat to humanity, so why would the spirit beasts fight alongside us? They don't seem like benevolent people either."

Situ Qingyue said, "That's because besides the Sin Clan, there is another mortal enemy, the Demon Realm. However, these things are not of much concern to us in the short term, and I know very little about them. It's not too late to learn about them after we go to the Spirit Realm... The sun has risen."

Upon hearing this, the family hurriedly looked outside...

A pale white tinge appeared on the eastern horizon, which then subtly tinged with orange-pink and crimson—a natural phenomenon, simply magnificent.

It's truly tempting.

Several women came out of the cabin and stood by the side of the ship, gazing at the place where the sky meets the sea.

The deck was still slightly cool from the night, and the sea breeze lifted the corners of my clothes, but I didn't feel cold.

Gradually, a golden edge rose from the distant sea, growing brighter and warmer, as if a burning flame was breaking free from the seabed.

Suddenly, a red sun rose from the seabed, slowly but irresistibly leaping out of the water!
In an instant, a dazzling light was poured onto the sea, and shimmering waves spread out from afar, like countless pieces of gold leaping on the water's surface.

The yacht's white paint was coated with a warm orange hue, and even the shadows of the railings were stretched long and cast obliquely on the deck.

Qi Erniang reached out to touch the sunlight that pierced through her fingertips, the warmth seeping into her heart through her fingers. She glanced back at Li Weizhou, and the two smiled at each other.

The seawater gradually turned into a clear blue in the morning light. Li Weizhou returned to the bridge and started the yacht. The speed was not fast, and the wake at the stern was covered with white foam, which was also dyed pale gold by the rising sun.

Zhou Yueniang smiled and said, "I understand Sister Feng's thoughts a little now. If we really can't go to the Spirit Realm, then living like this for the rest of our lives is not necessarily a bad thing."

Situ Qingyue chuckled and said, "You haven't used the Mysterious Pass to look. Try using the Ancestral Pass."

Qi Erniang shivered involuntarily and said with a sneer, "Then life would be unbearable. Who could have imagined that the world would be so filthy? I can't understand why it's like this."

Situ Qingyue lowered her eyes and said calmly, "This is the way of Heaven. Pure Qi rises and turbid Qi sinks. Not only does the turbid Qi of the mortal realm sink, but the turbid Qi of the spirit realm also falls continuously."

Zhou Yueniang and the others were taken aback upon hearing this, their expressions turning grim as they asked, "But what is this filthy spiritual energy of heaven and earth...?"

Situ Qingyue sneered and said, "The Spirit Realm is constantly filled with battles, struggles for interests, and conspiracies. Most of the spiritual energy within the deceased dissipates in the Spirit Realm, but some remains impure and tainted, so much so that even Heaven and Earth are unwilling to accept it and allow it to fall into the mortal realm. You should know that the mortal realm itself cannot give birth to the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth."

In other words, the spiritual energy of the mortal world all falls from the dead and decaying corpses of the spirit world.

Qi Erniang gagged, then said with lingering fear, "Luckily I held back and didn't absorb those spiritual energies."

Situ Qingyue asked with a smile, "Do you still want to stay in the mortal realm?"

Zhou Yueniang: "..."

Feng Biwu: "..."

Qi Erniang: "..."

Li Weizhou comforted them, saying, "If we don't want to stay here, we don't have to. Even if we go to the Spirit Realm, our family will still live our lives as usual. Although we can't use the immortal opportunities we gain in the short term, as long as we become stronger, we can still live a carefree and happy life."

In fact, his so-called "fate to the immortals" does not involve the use of spiritual power. As long as he doesn't flaunt it too much, not many people should pay attention.

Situ Qingyue reminded her, "We might not go to a particular sect."

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Home is a warm place, not a place of confinement. Sister Situ, if you aspire to the Great Dao, pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and continuously cultivate and improve, then go ahead and do what you want to do. When you're tired, sleepy, or injured, just remember to come home. Of course, I'll go with you to face danger whenever you need me. Yue Niang can go if she wants, but Sister Feng and Second Sister don't want to take risks; they can stay home and live just as well without hindering their progress and growth."

In short, home isn't about being together every day; it's about hearts being together.

Upon hearing this, Situ Qingyue's face lit up with a brighter smile. She turned to Zhou Yueniang and said, "Life at home is too carefree and comfortable. I'm worried that it might even extinguish my ambitions."

Zhou Yueniang shook her head and said, "Sister's cultivation has become stronger, and we all benefit from it. Besides, we won't just stay at home and wait to die; we also have to go out and strive. Although it's dangerous outside, life and death are matters of fate, destiny, and self-improvement. No one can truly live forever, so there's no need to take it too seriously. Live well while you're alive, and you won't fear death. Of course, if there's a great grudge that hasn't been avenged, then those who are still alive will have to suffer."

She would definitely choose to stay with Li Weizhou, but she wouldn't sit at home and let the man suffer outside to support her.

And Feng Biwu and Qi Erniang obviously wouldn't leave Li Weizhou either...

Situ Qingyue really liked Zhou Yueniang's personality. Although she didn't say anything, she affectionately stroked the stray hairs at her temples. Then they stood side by side on the side of the boat, gazing at the vast view of the rising sun and the sea meeting the sky.

At this moment, Li's furious voice rang out: "You are all masters, unafraid of death. I am a mere mortal, and I will not accept this. Anyone who dares to act recklessly and kill themselves, I will search high and low, even to the ends of the earth, to bring you back and give you a good spanking!"

"Pfft!"

……

After another day and night of sailing, the yacht finally arrived in Linzhou.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they disembarked early, stowed the yacht, and the group arrived at Qingyuan City, where the Imperial Execution Bureau, the Mountain Forest Guard, and Jinghong Valley had all suffered heavy losses.

It was only the beginning of Hai hour, a time when nightlife should be in full swing, but the entire city of Qingyuan was quiet and dark.

If it weren't for the few taverns and teahouses still open and lit up on both sides of the street, with their waiters listlessly waiting for customers, Li Weizhou would have thought that this ancient city was about to become a dead city.

Besides the eeriness, they also felt as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness...

After finding a pattern with the secret mark of the Imperial Punishment Bureau engraved in the dark, Situ Qingyue led everyone in the direction shown on the pattern.

This is a newly established secret outpost of the Imperial Punishment Bureau.

We arrived at a two-courtyard house. There was no plaque on the gate tower, and it looked like the home of an ordinary person.

However, the strong smell of blood emanating from the slightly ajar wooden door still made the group's expressions extremely solemn.

Situ Qingyue held her sword and was about to go inside when Li Weizhou stopped her and instructed the four women, "Close your eyes."

Then he threw two flashbang grenades inside. After two loud bangs, he heard a muffled groan coming from inside. He then threw in a string of grenades.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The entire city of Qingyuan seemed to be shaken at this moment.

……

PS: To be honest, although the book is almost 700,000 words long and has an average subscription of over 12,000, I feel that I have only recently figured out how to write this book. The ideas and techniques I wrote in the beginning were all twisted and uncoordinated.

As for whether this unrefined fantasy writing style will work, I'm not sure. I'll just give it my all and write two million words to satisfy my craving first. I haven't been looking at comments or chapter data lately; I've just been focused on writing. I'll check back after two million words. If the results are good, then it's a success; if they're bad... well, it'll be worth it if it's satisfying.

This kind of writing style can only be tried once. Writing another book would be boring, so let's just consider it an old man's youthful exuberance and a bit of recklessness!
(End of this chapter)
