A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 151, Year Two
Time always flies when you're laughing and joking, especially since Tuoba Yun's storytelling often veers off-topic, constantly showing Li Weizhou how wonderful the grasslands are, his true intentions laid bare: he wants to keep Li Weizhou here.

The grasslands of the Green Fox tribe are so fertile that they can support countless cattle and sheep.

How much good ginseng can be harvested next to the Black Dragon Snow Mountain?

They even guarantee that the girls of the Green Fox tribe are more beautiful than those of other tribes, and even more beautiful than those of the royal court!

Li Weizhou listened with a cheerful smile, without saying a word, which made Tuoba Yun somewhat frustrated...

At dinner, an old woman from Donghu brought over roasted lamb and mare's milk wine. Li Weizhou ate with great pleasure; lamb made without the rigors of technology and hard labor was truly delicious.

Seeing Li Weizhou eating with gusto, Tuoba Yun grew happier and happier. He felt that Li Weizhou belonged to the grasslands. However, Tuoba Yun suddenly remembered something: "Li Weizhou, are you married yet?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "They're married."

Crack!

As if struck by lightning, Tuoba Yun was completely stunned. He looked at Li Weizhou and stammered, "You...you, how could you get married? You weren't even married last year!!" His heart sank.

After giving a brief explanation, Li Weizhou laughed and said, "My parents arranged this marriage when they were alive. I can't go back on my word, can I? A real man shouldn't break his promise."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Yun's face was filled with undisguised dejection.

Li Weizhou chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Even without a marriage, I'll be ascending to the Spirit Realm in another year. With your status, you must know about the Spirit Realm, right?"
I've come here for two reasons: to keep an appointment and to say goodbye to a friend. Although you are young and of the Donghu ethnic group, you are kind-hearted and sincere. I'm very happy to be your friend. This has nothing to do with your identity or who your sister is.

Tuoba Yun, you are my friend. I hope you will always remain kind and brave, be a true man, and protect your sister.

Upon hearing these words, Tuoba Yun perked up again and nodded emphatically.

Li Weizhou was the first person to truly treat him as a man, not a child, and to treat him as an equal.

This gave him immense courage!
After a hearty meal, Li Weizhou surprisingly got up to say goodbye and leave.

Tuoba Yun was unwilling to let him leave and refused to release him under any circumstances. He immediately arranged for someone to prepare a tent for him and almost begged him to stay for one night.

Li Weizhou had no choice but to stay and chatted with the boy for a long time.

……

On a winter night on the grassland, even the air is filled with the chill of winter.

There was also the smell of smoke from burning cow dung and wood in the surrounding tents...

The night sky was clear and bright, and the stars seemed even more distinct.

After observing the scene from outside the tent for a while, Li Weizhou persuaded the maid who was warming the bed inside to leave and then lay down to rest.

He didn't go back to Earth, since this was his birthplace. So he put his hands behind his head and pondered the current situation...

At this point in the mortal realm, aside from clearing mountains and building roads, that's basically it.

The most important thing in the remaining year is to open Qi Erniang's Hidden God Palace and obtain innate supernatural powers.

Each innate supernatural ability is a major trump card for the Li family.

According to Black Cat Xuanmeng, even after ascending to the Spirit Realm, one must pay a sufficient price to obtain various cultivation techniques and secret arts.

The more profound the secret technique, the greater the price to pay.

Especially the incredibly powerful secret techniques are basically passed down to true disciples who have made sufficient contributions after undergoing numerous trials by each sect.

Ordinary disciples, let alone outer disciples, and even ordinary inner disciples, are not qualified to learn.

Each member of Li Weizhou's family possesses a top-tier secret technique, which means their starting point is already quite high.

Furthermore, each of their innate supernatural abilities allows Li Weizhou to strengthen his own supernatural power imprint.

The supernatural imprints gained from killing superpowered individuals on Earth are too shallow to unleash true supernatural powers; they can only be applied superficially, such as enhancing affinity.

However, after the union, the supernatural imprints created by each woman can deepen the supernatural imprints in Li Weizhou's Hidden Divine Palace, replicating their supernatural powers.

lucky!

However, the traces on the other side of Earth are not useless.

For example, regarding the wind-related markings, he borrowed a wind tunnel from Dongda University and blew it as hard as he could.

Wind is also a form of energy, and it can be absorbed, stored, and utilized naturally.

The wind in nature is unstable and sometimes there is none, so how can it compare to the continuous output of a wind tunnel?

Although he has not yet developed any wind-based supernatural abilities, his wind-based spiritual root has greatly increased, and his affinity for wind has also increased significantly.

In addition, the fire-type mark allows it to continuously absorb flames of different temperatures.

It's worth noting that the temperature of the Earth's core is only around four or five thousand degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature of the sun is roughly the same. Of course, the corona reaches millions of degrees Celsius, which is a different story...

Artificial flames, such as coke fire, can be controlled at 1,000 to 1,300 degrees Celsius; oxyhydrogen flames can be controlled from 1,000 to 2,800 degrees Celsius; and oxyacetylene flames can be controlled to 3,000 degrees Celsius. Plasma arc furnaces can stably maintain a high temperature of 5,000 degrees Celsius.

It offers the desired temperature range, and is safe, long-lasting, and effective.

By absorbing such high-temperature flames into the mark of the Fire Divine Power and releasing it when facing an enemy, well, a surprise attack should give the enemy a good time.

This is, of course, the crudest way of using it, because without adding ingenuity, its destructive power is ultimately lacking.

But it doesn't matter, once we get to the spirit world, there will be plenty of opportunities to fill in the gaps.

Now we just don't know what kind of supernatural powers Qi Erniang will be able to unleash...

If only it were a wind-based supernatural power, then he would truly have a chance to fly out of Earth and see the boundless universe.

However, it is still not possible to stay outside the Earth's atmosphere for long, because according to experts from Tokyo University, the solar wind in the universe contains high-energy particles that can directly damage human DNA and are extremely powerful in deep space.

Furthermore, the average temperature of the observable universe is minus 270 degrees Celsius. Li Weizhou tried to maintain a temperature close to this level... and it is certain that he cannot sustain it for long at present.

But there's no rush; there's still plenty of room for growth.

After arriving in the Spirit Realm, with the increase in cultivation level and the acquisition of the Wood Spirit Machine, the "Undying Sword Body" will surely embark on the fast track of cultivation...

I long for it.

Back when I was writing that flop fantasy novel, who could have imagined it would turn out this way?
Hey!
The Hidden God Palace was truly a divinely ordained acupoint for him, because it was located deep within his soul. In this way, even if there was no spiritual energy on Earth, the Hidden God Palace could draw upon endless spiritual energy for him to use in his other world on Earth...

This is what true, unique law looks like!

However, one should not be too arrogant, after all, the universe is boundless, and he is still trapped on a speck of dust, unable to leave...

Ok?
Li Weizhou, who was deep in thought and feeling quite pleased with himself, suddenly sensed something was wrong. He felt a cool breeze blowing in, and someone had entered...

Before he could even get up, a delicate hand gently pressed against his chest...

Even in the darkness, Li Weizhou could clearly see the eagle bone hairpin and the pigeon blood ruby ​​inlaid at its tip...

A fragrant breeze wafted through the air.

"?!"

He was well aware of the old custom of wives visiting guests on the grasslands... but no matter what, it shouldn't be the place for the Grand Princess of the Green Fox tribe to sacrifice herself for this, right?

He blurted out instinctively, "Princess, I did these things out of friendship, not out of any lust for you..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Weizhou secretly regretted it; why had he brought up tea again…

"It was me who coveted you."

Tuoba Tuya's voice remained cold, but Li Weizhou could sense that it was a little more tense than usual...

He looked up and saw Tuoba Tuya right in front of him, naked, her skin white... like a ray of moonlight.

The peaks and valleys, the plains and streams, all seem to have been carved from mutton-fat jade, every inch of them so beautiful.

To say that Li Weizhou wasn't excited would be a lie.

However, he remained calm and said softly, "Princess, I will ascend to the Spirit Realm next year and won't be able to help you much. It's not worth it."

"Long-winded!"

Tuoba Tuya's face flushed slightly, whether from anger or because Li Weizhou had been completely stripped bare by her, it was hard to tell.

They were quite cooperative...

As she slowly absorbed the world, the cold arrogance on her face gradually faded. Looking at Li Weizhou, she said, "It is precisely because I know you will leave this realm and we will never meet again that I came. Li Weizhou, I like you. Do you like me?" She truly had gone all out.

It seems that the five thousand bushels of grain moved her deeply.

Furthermore, given that they were soon to be living in two different worlds, she decisively chose to forge ahead...

What else could Li Weizhou say? He could only keep his hands behind his head and say, "Of course, from the first moment I saw you."

A sudden gust of wind picked up outside the tent, causing it to sway slightly.

Deep in the vast grasslands, a wolf king stands atop a cliff, howling at the moon.

Li Weizhou's guest tent was a temporary structure, located right next to the king's tent.

Women of the grasslands are bold and unrestrained, and there is no such thing as suppressing one's nature. The plaintive and melodious swan calls sounded so beautiful to Li Weizhou.

Therefore, Tuoba Yun remained awake for a long time that night...

As dawn approached, Tuoba Tuya let out a sob filled with joy, which broke Tuoba Yun's heart even more.

His sister actually really liked that bastard Li Weizhou that much, and was willing to be bullied by him like this...

From now on, she won't just be his sister anymore, sob sob.

He had no idea what his sister was so surprised about.

Inside the guest tent, not only was Tuoba Tuya pleasantly surprised, but Li Weizhou was also overjoyed!

Within his Hidden Divine Palace, a new divine power mark appeared, resembling a ring that slowly rotated, filled with chaos.

But he realized that this was the mark of spatial supernatural power!
Time is respected and space is king.

Destiny does not come out, cause and effect reigns supreme!
These four top-tier supernatural abilities are extremely rare and precious in any world.

The number one ranked among the Twelve Ancestral Witches was Dijiang, who possessed innate spatial abilities and whose speed was unparalleled in the prehistoric world.

Another person with innate spatial abilities is Zhen Yuanzi, whose ability to control the universe within his sleeve is awe-inspiring.

Such supernatural abilities are almost impossible to cultivate through practice unless one possesses them innately.

Even with forced cultivation, it is far from comparable to innate supernatural powers.

Li Weizhou never expected that his trip to the grasslands, originally intended to repay Shi Jing's kindness, would lead to such an unexpected encounter...

Huh?
The illusory image of the stone mirror in his sea of ​​consciousness was even happier than he was, and spontaneously jumped into the spatial imprint!

The stone mirror was obtained from the Green Fox Clan. The strongest princess of the Green Fox Clan awakened spatial supernatural powers. Could there be some cause and effect behind this?
However, he should keep these questions to himself for now; he's just a nobody and doesn't deserve to think about them.

The supernatural power activated by this spatial imprint is:
Void Step!
Li Weizhou watched as Tuoba Tuya's figure suddenly disappeared, then reappeared a few feet away in the blink of an eye, then disappeared again, and then reappeared.

This isn't teleportation; it's walking in the void.

Unparalleled skills for survival and assassination!
Seeing that the naked Tuoba Tuya was having a great time, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Tuya, casting supernatural powers requires supernatural power. It's very difficult to draw supernatural power from the supernatural power mark in the mortal world. Don't waste it all, it won't be easy to recover."

Tuoba Tuya suddenly stopped, completely naked from head to toe, and looked at Li Weizhou, asking, "How can you use so much?"

The ginseng from last time, and the grains from this time, seem to possess boundless spatial power.

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "I need to save for a long time to have enough for one use. I wonder if things will be better after I ascend to the Spirit Realm."

This is not an excuse. He can replenish the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and wind, but he is truly powerless when it comes to the two supernatural powers of space and yin and yang.

Leaving aside the mysterious concepts of Yin and Yang, space, unlike elements like lightning, wind, and metal, cannot absorb resources and advance in large quantities. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass and energy cause space to warp, but it also defines the spatial structure of the universe as having extremely strong stability. Even in the face of violent events like supernova explosions, it will only bend according to the laws of physics and will not actually "break apart."

Therefore, he currently cannot figure out how to draw upon spatial power...

Fortunately, the activation of his spatial abilities greatly enhanced his affinity with space, at least making his movement speed faster and faster.

"Tuya, you've also opened the Hidden God Palace. Are you going to ascend to the Spirit Realm together?"

Li Weizhou asked with concern.

After a moment of silence, Tuoba Tuya shook her head and said, "Not this time, next time."

Li Weizhou suggested, "Since you've opened the Hidden God Palace, you can take one person with you when you ascend. How about taking Tuoba Yun with you?"

After a long silence, Tuoba Tuya shook her head again and said, "The Qinghu tribe is the legacy left by my father, and it cannot be lost in my generation. After I assist my younger brother in defeating the royal court and avenging my father, we will ascend to the heavens again at the next 60-year ascension ceremony."

Li Weizhou sighed regretfully, but still smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go up and scout ahead first. A full sixty years should be enough to establish a stable foundation. Take good care of yourself in the mortal realm and endure some hardship; it will be much easier once you're up there."

Tuoba Tuya seemed to have forgotten what laughter was, and silently nodded. However, her gaze towards Li Weizhou held a hint of tenderness and emotion: "Are you leaving?"

Li Weizhou hummed in agreement and smiled, "We've already had many unexpected gains."

Tuoba Tuya asked, "Will you come again?"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Of course, I'll come every two months, bring you some food, and come see you again."

Tuoba Tuya finally smiled and asked Li Weizhou, "Would you like ginseng?"

"Yes, the more the better."

These ginseng roots could be exchanged for countless resources on the other side of the world...

……

"Agan?"

"Ok?"

"Are you going to be my brother-in-law?" "Yes."

"So, are you going to stay?!"

"No, I want to go to the spirit world, build up a fortune, and let your sister rest there in the future."

At the foot of Black Dragon Mountain, upon hearing this, Tuoba Yun suddenly shivered, turned to look at Li Weizhou in horror, and said, "You mean, my sister will also go to the Spirit Realm in the future?!"

Has he... let a wolf into the house?!

Li Weizhou glanced at him and said, "That's sixty years from now. She can't bear to part with you. Otherwise, I would have taken her up there."

After a moment of silence, Tuoba Yun asked, "Agan, am I being too selfish?"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Everyone is selfish, and I am too. But we are willing to be selfless for those we love. Just like I am to my sister, and your sister is to you. We also believe that when you grow up, you will be the same to us."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Yun let out a long sigh of relief and said, "You're right. In the future, I will definitely treat my sister well! Agan, if you dare to let my sister down, I will never let you off the hook!"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "I know, so I won't."

Tuoba Yun instructed, "You must come and visit my sister more often. She has always been in a bad mood, and I really want to cheer her up, but she is too tired. After my father and mother died, she became my father and mother. But she was very happy today. Although she didn't smile, I could tell that she was really happy. Agan, you must come and visit my sister more often."

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will. Goodbye, Tuoba. We'll see each other again soon."

"keep your word?"

Tuoba Yun looked up at Li Weizhou and said.

Li Weizhou smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a deal."

Tuoba Yun pursed his lips and said, "Alright then, Agan, goodbye."

Li Weizhou smiled and walked away into the snowstorm...

Tuoba Tuya did not come to see them off; she still had to transport grain...

……

"came back?"

After consuming a large amount of pig's blood, Li Weizhou returned directly from Qingqiu to Qingzhou City. Remarkably, all four women were with him.

Zhou Yueniang sat at the table drinking tea and chatting with Feng Biwu and Qi Erniang, while Situ Qingyue stood by the window, gazing at the distant winter snow-covered mountains.

Normally, Situ Qingyue spends most of her time in seclusion, occasionally absorbing a trace of sword intent from Li Weizhou, which is enough for her to stay in seclusion for a month or two.

Aside from refining his ancestral aperture within the spiritual realm, he rarely makes public appearances.

This shows how much importance is attached to today...

Li Weizhou said with a smile, "I'm back. Didn't we agree that I'd be home in five days? What, you guys still don't trust me?"

Feng Biwu snorted and said, "Didn't that princess keep you as a prince consort in the royal tent?"

Li Weizhou snorted and sat down next to Zhou Yueniang, saying matter-of-factly, "I'll keep it! But am I the kind of person who covets wealth and status? I've come back anyway!"

Qi Erniang's eyes were somewhat flirtatious as she said, "I'm afraid there's still some soup left there..."

Li Weizhou solemnly said, "There's no need to overthink it. I clearly told that princess that unless she can ascend to the Spirit Realm, it's all off the table. No matter how much she likes me, it's useless."

Situ Qingyue said calmly, "Does she want to come up with us?"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Of course not. She wants to stay in Qingqiu to assist her younger brother in ascending the throne and prepare to go to the Spirit Realm again after sixty years. In sixty years, we might all be holding our grandchildren."

The women chuckled, and Situ Qingyue, abandoning her desire to join in the fun, went back to her seclusion.

Li Weizhou thought it was fine too. If one cultivated to the point of forgetting what vinegar tasted like, then it meant they were cultivating the wrong path.

Now, under his guidance, the four women are both ambitious and humane, all thanks to his tireless efforts day and night...

……

That year, half of the mountain roads on Dayuan Mountain were opened.

The Martial God's father-in-law made a great contribution!
The Rouge Rice yielded a bumper harvest. The fertilizer from the countless wild animal carcasses within the fortified village not only ensured a bountiful harvest of Rouge Rice but also brought a good harvest to the Li family's farmland throughout Qingzhou Prefecture.

Before the Lunar New Year, Li Weizhou took his whole family to the capital, including his three maids, Xiao Dong, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Bei.

The Li family celebrated a grand New Year at the Duke's mansion, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it was their last...

So everyone cherished the moment, with endless drinks and conversations, but no one ever mentioned "farewell."

Li Weizhou and Situ Qingyue also visited Situ's father-in-law, leaving behind the poems "Qingyu'an: Lantern Festival" and "Shuidiao Getou: When Will the Moon Be Bright?" as congratulatory gifts.

The brilliance of the two poems completely dispelled any remaining resentment the father-in-law had towards his good-for-nothing son-in-law.

This is no ordinary chicken, it's a real gem!
After the New Year, Li Weizhou returned to Qingzhou City with his uncle Li Delong and his second brother Li Chang'an's family.

The eldest brother, Li Changping, cried his heart out. He knew that this parting was forever, and there would be no more days to see each other. He was truly heartbroken.

Seeing a grown man crying like that, Li Weizhou felt a pang of pity, but that's just how life is, what could he do...

……

In the final year, Li Weizhou also personally took charge, opening up mountains and building roads. He also brought in a lot of specially made anti-corrosion wood from the other side of the earth. After undergoing both physical and chemical anti-corrosion treatment and proper drying, the resulting boardwalk was sturdy and durable.

In April of that year, Qi Erniang finally opened the Hidden God Palace and obtained the innate supernatural power, the Earth Pulse!

Not only was his earth-elemental spiritual root talent greatly enhanced, but he also gained an additional earth-elemental spell.

When in danger, one can escape into the earth's veins and absorb the earth's spiritual energy to heal injuries.

Unless the enemy destroys the ley lines as well, they are helpless against her.

Unfortunately, when one's cultivation level is low, it's hard to know how long the cooldown period is when using a supernatural power. But as long as it can save one's life in a critical moment, it's worth it!
Li Weizhou also tried to find a way for her to take a shortcut. America divided the soil on Earth into twelve soil classes, including leached soil, volcanic ash soil, arid soil, newly formed soil, permafrost, organic soil, soft soil, oxidized soil, podzolic soil, aged soil, and modified soil, for a total of twelve categories.

He took a number from each category and provided them to Qi Erniang for her supernatural imprint to absorb, and the effect was surprisingly good.

By June, the mountain trail connecting Dayuan Mountain was finally completed.

The reigning emperor, empress dowager, chief minister, and the other two regents all sent congratulatory plaques to commend the merits of the Duke of Protector of the Nation, Li!

It's hard to say what the king and clan in Shuzhou are thinking. It's unrealistic to say they don't covet such a plank road destined to flow with the Golden River, but at least for now, no one dares to tamper with it.

Li Weizhou didn't interfere much; he left the rest to his second brother, Li Chang'an, and fourth brother, Li Changning.

Whether they talk or fight, it's up to them; Li Weizhou trusts the two brothers.

By August, even with the relationship between Li Weizhou and the black cat Xuanmeng, the Li family members will no longer be allowed to enter the spirit circle.

The annual Ascension Ceremony, held once every sixty years, is about to begin next month.

The eyes of the entire Great Qian world are on this place...

Li Weizhou, on the contrary, found himself with more free time...

……

on the earth.

Can humans fly on their own?
Science has already provided the answer: No.

In order to fly, birds have evolved a structure that is "extremely lightweight": their bones are hollow. For example, the bones of geese are only one millimeter thick and account for only five to six percent of their body weight, while human bones account for eighteen percent.

Birds do not have bladders; they excrete urine directly, reducing excess weight. Even their teeth have degenerated, replaced by lightweight beaks. Furthermore, they possess a powerful engine; their pectoral muscles account for 15% to 25% of their body weight, compared to only 3% in humans.

As for lift settings, there's no need to even mention them; a human arm isn't a wing and can't provide much lift.

Therefore, all theories have concluded that humans cannot fly.

However, several major countries that have positioned their satellites over Shan State and have been closely monitoring its movements for 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds have all sounded the highest level of alarms tonight.

Because their high-resolution satellites captured a bizarre and terrifying scene.

That person, without wearing any flight equipment, just stood there with his hands behind his back, flying upwards...

From the horizon to the troposphere at 12,000 meters, from 12,000 meters to 50,000 meters, from 50,000 meters to 85,000 meters, from 85,000 meters to 800,000 meters, the thermosphere...

The vast majority of low-Earth orbit satellites are located in the thermosphere.

Satellites monitoring Shan State are also located here.

So when the satellite captured the man with his hands behind his back, everyone who saw it was terrified, their skin crawling with goosebumps, and screams erupted one after another.

What is this thing? A human, a god, or a demon?!
Li Weizhou glanced at the satellite expressionlessly, ignored it, wandered around for a while, and casually punched a satellite that was closely following him until he went down.

He couldn't withstand the high temperatures of one to two thousand degrees Celsius in the thermal layer.

Of course, this is because he's impatient with being followed...

With a disgruntled snort, it landed.

His face was expressionless, but he was incredibly excited and joyful!

The activation of his spatial abilities greatly increased his affinity for space, with the most significant change being a marked improvement in the utilization of wind energy.

Flying is simple; it follows the principle of an airplane engine.

Li Weizhou's wind-elemental divine power imprint is like an airplane engine. It can absorb and compress wind power, then fuse it with a trace of wood-elemental energy within the Hidden God Palace. When it is released from the body, it is ignited with fire divine power...

It is much faster than simply being propelled by wind.

With his current affinity for space and wind, he seems to encounter no resistance in this world. If it weren't for his insufficient physical strength, Li Weizhou would already be able to fly out of Earth in terms of propulsion alone.

Freedom is getting closer and closer...

But what happened today, in the eyes of the world's leaders, was like Satan violating the Virgin Mary, driving them to despair and collapse!
A heat layer of 2,000 degrees Celsius is enough to melt steel!
Just how powerful is this person?
Li Weizhou didn't care what they thought. He took the opportunity to visit the Sierra Tank Graveyard near Heron, California, and emptied Xiao Mei's savings accumulated over the decades since World War II, leaving behind a message: Respect, Love and Peace.

……

Yangon.

Lakeside Manor.

When Li Weizhou returned, he saw Xiao Rui sitting on the lawn in the garden, with a thick stack of documents next to her long skirt.

Beside her, Zhao Ling'er carefully helped her sort and process various documents. Xu Li was even busier than Zhao Ling'er, taking out the documents that Xiao Rui had processed; she was the direct person in charge.

Song Jia had a more relaxed job, as she was responsible for negotiating various business deals within China.

In fact, the four of them also have a large secretarial team, and each of them even has a team around them, but for core matters, only the four of them do it personally.

Zhao Ling'er was the first to notice Li Weizhou's return. She reminded Xiao Rui, who looked up and saw Li Weizhou. The weariness on Xiao Rui's face lessened considerably, and she smiled brightly, saying, "You're back?"

Li Weizhou said gently, "Don't make yourself so busy. Utopia can't be built in a year or two."

Xiao Rui rubbed her temples and smiled, "It's not that I'm forcing myself, it's just that I've been contacting more and more people lately. Maybe those people have realized that you're still following the rules and can actually do business peacefully without resorting to robbery, so everyone is expressing goodwill."

Xu Li pointed out incisively, "Boss, they want to create a moral facade for you, making you embarrassed to use force."

Song Jia earnestly asked, "Boss, you're so powerful, why don't you just go and collect protection money?"

Xiao Rui, Zhao Ling'er, and Xu Li burst into laughter, all looking at Li Weizhou.

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and said, "In the 1990s, America's national strength was so great that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the strongest on the planet, and it was a precipitous lead. But they didn't unify the earth. Why? Because they didn't want to turn the world into a mess. They only wanted to establish order and make other countries work for them. For the strongest, an orderly world is the most advantageous and worry-free thing."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Production and construction are more meaningful than destruction." She looked at Li Weizhou and said, "Many countries have invited us to make friendly visits."

Li Weizhou asked, "Do you want to go?"

Xiao Rui shook her head and said, "Our Shan State doesn't follow the usual path, so there's no need for us to make these formal visits. However, we can go on a tour to show our goodwill."

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Okay, after we're done with this busy period, I'll take you on a round-the-world trip. We won't take airplanes, cars, or boats; I'll take you all over the world."

With his current mastery of space and wind, he can already carry people into the air.

"Wow~~~"

Zhao Ling'er, Xu Li, and Song Jia started making a ruckus, and Zhao Ling'er, perhaps a little carried away, actually shouted, "We want some too!"

Xu Li and Song Jia immediately moved away from her, indicating that they were not part of "us".

Heaven is fair; it gave Zhao Ling'er an exceptionally beautiful face and figure, but she was slightly lacking in intelligence.

Watching Zhao Ling'er chase the two across the lawn, Li Weizhou found it amusing. Xiao Rui wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered, "Honey, have you been under a lot of pressure lately? What have you been busy with?" She paused, then added, "If it's inconvenient to say, then you don't have to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Weizhou kissed her lips and hugged her tightly, saying, "There's nothing inconvenient to say... I've been quite busy lately. There's going to be a major change in my cultivation soon."

Xiao Rui was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and said, "You... are you going to become stronger again?"

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and said, "You could say that. If everything goes smoothly, in three years at most, when you look up at the moon, I might be strolling on it."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Rui giggled, her voice becoming more alluring, and asked, "Brother Zhou, can you take me with you? I'm afraid if you see Chang'e on the moon, you won't want to come back..."

Li Weizhou placed his hands on his girlfriend's waist, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll try my best, there's definitely hope. Besides, how can Chang'e compare to your beauty?"

Xiao Rui was satisfied with just hearing those words and hugged Li Weizhou tightly.

She adored this incredibly mysterious man, even though he possessed a world she could never reach...

Li Weizhou also liked her. Compared to the excitement, unease, and longing brought by the unknown spirit world, he also liked the peace and tranquility of Earth, as well as the warm love.

However, as he gazed up at the sky, he still hoped that the depths of the starry heavens would bring him a different kind of surprise...

The spirit world, the spirit world, is there a spirit world in this universe?
Even if it exists, it would probably be broken.
