My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 371: Unexpected? Surprising?
The scene of Li Wei, a mortal, colliding with a true god is truly breathtaking!

Although it was rumored that Li Wei defeated the Horse-Faced Yin General and was able to fight against the two Confucian treasures of the Kong family, most people did not witness him fighting against the true god, so they inevitably had doubts.

How can mortals stand against gods?

Therefore, both the cultivators of Zhongzhou and those evil heretics believed that someone was secretly creating momentum for Li Wei.

But I didn’t expect it.

This guy can actually clash with gods! And he doesn't even seem to have suffered much damage! How did he do that?
So everyone's attention quickly turned to Li Wei's loan amount.

"Debt can form such a powerful defense?"

At this moment,
Many monks' worldviews have changed!
Loans can not only accelerate spiritual practice, but also help to solidify a golden body?

Is this perhaps the only correct path to spiritual practice?
At this moment, not only those poor cultivators, but even those who had spent a lot of money couldn't help but pay attention to Li Wei's golden body: "Look at this terrifying body, I suddenly understand why Inspector Li's cultivation speed is so fast!"

"Capital harvests from all living beings and transforms it into loans. Inspector Li then harvests capital through loans, gathering the cultivation potential of all living beings. How can you not be strong if you lend so much money?"

"Moreover, with loans, capital is reluctant to let you die and must find a way to protect you and keep you alive! This is tantamount to forcibly kidnapping capital as a golden shield."

Upon realizing this, many cultivators suddenly understood: "So, in this era, loans are the only way to success!"

Xiao Zi, with her keen business sense, was overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately joined forces with Yu Bingtong of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group to launch the Li Wei Loan service, which was offered to cultivators throughout Zhongzhou.

Are you still troubled by your lack of potential for spiritual practice?

Are you still suffering because you can't afford to practice your spiritual cultivation?

Are you still feeling lost and helpless because you can't pass the Kryptonite exam?

"Now, Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group is completely replicating Inspector Li Wei's loan strategy, launching the Li Wei Loan service with interest rates as low as 4.15%! If you dare to take out a loan, you could be the next Li Wei!"

Xiao Zi understands marketing.

As Li Wei's fame grew, his name acquired immense brand value, and now who doesn't know the relationship between Li Wei and Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group?

With the backing of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, Liwei Loan instantly became a hot loan in the market, attracting countless cultivators who wanted to replicate Liwei's path. In less than a month, Liwei Loan became a pillar industry of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, and its revenue in the future will probably not be weaker than that of the Dharma Limb Technology.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Zhongzhou City has now been sealed off by heretical deities, temporarily losing contact with the Heavenly Court. In addition, millions of evil and heretical cultivators have invaded and plundered, plunging the city into chaos and flames.

Although Li Wei single-handedly held off a large number of cultivators and an evil god, it was still a drop in the ocean and could not affect the overall situation at all.

Although the Central Continent Immortal Mansion and the Thunder Department immediately summoned cultivators within the city to participate in the suppression, very few responded, and they were unable to organize a decent defense. Several lines of defense were quickly breached by the enemy.

Given the prosperity of Zhongzhou City, it shouldn't be in such a sorry state.

But there was no way around it; there were just too many powerful families with divine bloodlines here. Each of them had countless businesses that needed protection, so they started a war to snatch people as soon as the evil forces invaded.

If you are a powerful cultivator, on one hand, you have no money to serve the immortal abode, and on the other hand, you are sent to the most dangerous places to fight against evil forces and reclaim lost territory.

On one hand, they pay money to serve the Divine Blood Clan, and in return, they receive support from their various formations and law systems, allowing them to wait for the opportune moment and launch a defensive counterattack.
Which side would you choose?
The answer should be obvious, right?
The powerful families guarded their communities, activated numerous elaborate formations, and remained secluded. Meanwhile, the strong individuals capable of changing the course of the battle entered various shopping malls and factories, joining forces to protect the assets of major capital groups.

As for ordinary people, with their limited cultivation, they would be lucky if they could just stay out of trouble and not cause any trouble for the immortal abode.

Then something unexpected, yet perfectly logical, happened.

Despite having an overwhelming numerical advantage, Zhongzhou City's Immortal Abode appeared isolated and helpless in actual combat, suffering repeated defeats at the hands of the evil forces.

This was not unexpected by the many evil gods and demons in the heavens.

The calamity of powerful clans lies in their rivalry with the state for profit and power!

In times of peace, the divine bloodline families seize the vast majority of wealth in the Three Realms; in times of war, relying on their divine ancestors, they use their accumulated wealth to plunder soldiers and hire powerful cultivators for protection.

[This kind of cholera outbreak might not be noticeable under normal circumstances, but in a truly life-or-death situation, powerful families are like fiefdoms; not only will they not obey the Immortal Abode's orders, but they will also hinder the Immortal Abode's efforts!]

Although Zhongzhou City is prosperous, it is too prosperous. The more wealthy people there are, the more vulnerable they become, and the less they dare to act!
The gods of Heaven have also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately began to mobilize the gods to break through the blockade imposed on the human realm by the evil forces.

But the evil forces had been preparing for a long time, and the blockade they had built was a combination of the power of the nine major heretical pantheons. It was not so easy to break through.

Thus, the Heavenly Court's offensive was repeatedly repelled.

But just then, a figure riding a blue ox suddenly floated by in the Heavenly Court, gently shaking the whisk in his hand.

next moment,
A three-legged, two-eared Bagua furnace suddenly descended from the sky, stirring up all things in the universe, and smashed directly into the divine defense line, piercing through the defensive system built by the nine major divine systems.

boom! ! !
Fire surged into the sky, and lava rolled across the heavens.

The Three Realms fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The old man ate an orange and leisurely disappeared into the distance: [Who's so inconsiderate as to just toss a stove around like that?]

Even if it doesn't hit anyone, it's still bad if it hits some flowers or plants!

The evil gods and demons stared intently at the old man, who seemed somewhat embarrassed and said, "Ahem! I was just passing by. Please continue..."

finished,

The old man and the Eight Trigrams Furnace disappeared at the same time, leaving only the huge hole in the Gods' Defense Line, recording everything that had just happened.

The nine Great Sages, hidden in the shadows, were not alarmed but rather delighted upon seeing this: "We've finally forced these old fogies out!"

Have the most powerful figures in Heaven finally lost their composure?
Now that the Three Pure Ones have arrived, how far away can the Four Emperors be?
really!

Suddenly, three ancient and weathered stars lit up the sky. The Antarctic Star of Longevity and Fortune, the Upper Palace Star of Gouchen, and the Eastern Star of Nine Yang Azure Splendor—amidst that brilliant light, three of the Four Emperors were walking toward the world.

The dark web inexplicably let out a cold laugh: [They weren't seen making a move when they attacked the Heavenly Court, but now that they're besieging Zhongzhou City and their real interests are threatened, these guys finally show up?]

[Ziwei isn't here. Heh! Logically, she should have more interests in Zhongzhou City than others. It seems the situation in Heaven is more complicated than we imagined!]

Should we take this opportunity to test the waters again?

[That's about it! Forcing out the Four Emperors and the Three Pure Ones and confirming their condition is already a pleasant surprise. Don't forget, our goal this time is to select a religious leader, not to fight those three to the death!]

【Then tell the men below to hurry! If we wait any longer, the Heavenly Laws might appear, and we can't afford to get hurt again.】

After discussing their plan, the great saints emerged from the shadows and intercepted the three ancient stars.

【Gentlemen, the road ahead is probably blocked! Why don't you wait another ten minutes? If things don't work out by then, we'll leave naturally; otherwise…】

The nine Great Sages pointed to the human realm below, which was very close at hand: "You don't want to fight us here, do you?"

The three emperors immediately laughed: "This time, you've got it all backwards. It's probably the nine of you who should carefully consider whether or not you want to fight us here!"

Nine Saints' pupils shrank instantly, and they subconsciously looked down at Zhongzhou.

Then they discovered that a dazzling light suddenly shot into the sky, instantly piercing through heaven and earth, transforming into countless copper coins that directly covered the city of Zhongzhou, forcefully breaking the seal of the gods.

A chubby man dressed in a bright red robe, embodying the God of Wealth, appeared silently in Zhongzhou City, bowing and smiling at the many Great Sages in the sky.

[Greetings, Celestial Minister of Finance, to all the Great Sages!]

Meng Shifei?
How could He be here?!
He's the guy who secretly completed the 7.19 version update of Heaven's Path right under the noses of the gods and the Great Sage.

It can be said that there is not a single god in the Three Realms who does not know Him.

A rising star in the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance, a confidant of the Heavenly Emperor, and the chief steward of the Heavenly Emperor's private treasury, he holds a high position and wields great power in the Heavenly Court.

But what was the purpose of such an important person's descent to the mortal realm, and when did it happen so quietly?
The saints were puzzled.

I do know a little about the dark web; Meng Shifei was specially sent down by the Supreme Emperor to help Li Wei investigate the case.

But the problem is, there should only be one of these people, so how dare he show himself amidst the blockade of the nine major heretical sects?
Surrounded by evil spirits and heretics, isn't He afraid of being killed by us Great Sages?

Moreover, why do these three emperors among the Four Emperors have such faith in Him? Does He have the ability to change the situation?

Thinking about this, the dark web suddenly realized a problem.

Why did the Supreme Emperor Haotian send Meng Shifei over when he knew that Li Wei was investigating a major case that even the Thunder God Puhua Tianzun was wary of and that he might be attacked by terrifying forces at any time?
Doesn't the Heavenly Emperor fear that his private treasury steward might be in danger?
Therefore, there is only one answer.
Shang Hao believes that Meng Shifei possesses the ability to withstand any unexpected events!

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in the Dark Web's mind!

[This time... I won't be let down by Li Wei's luck, will I?]

……

Meng Shifei hadn't expected this either.

I was just descending to the mortal realm to secretly protect Li Wei, but I ended up encountering such an interesting situation.

[I have to thank Li Wei. If it weren't for him, how could I have accomplished such a great feat?]

Thanks to Li Wei and all the Great Sages, this time He was finally able to unleash His Laws without reservation!

His Majesty!

Look at me!

I will save Zhongzhou!
Meng Shifei activated his divine power, his face burning with fervor as he connected to the Immortal Abode Law System of Zhongzhou City. He suddenly opened the Immortal Abode Treasure Vault, which had been stored for tens of thousands of years, and then ignited all the endless wealth within.

Then He opened His hands, and a miniature star appeared, which was the core projection of the Heavenly Market Enclosure, one of the Three Enclosures of Heaven!
Under the spotlight of immense wealth, the Finance Department's Law System within the Heavenly Market Enclosure was directly activated, once again embedding the concepts of money's power over the divine and the value of all things into the world.

Meng Shifei grinned maliciously and said:
【Gentlemen! It would be impolite not to reciprocate. Consider this attack His Majesty's reward for destroying the Wenchang Danying Small Grotto-Heaven and abducting my Central Plains examinees last time!】

boom! ! ! !

Meng Shifei suddenly crushed the star in his hand, and then the laws of the Ministry of Finance soared into the sky and were implanted into the bodies of those evil demons and heretics, as well as the evil gods!

Mortal cultivators pay one-third of their income in taxes! Demons and gods pay one-eighth of their income in taxes!

As Meng Shifei finished speaking, the auras of the evil spirits and heretics plummeted, and even the evil gods and demons were not spared, all falling into a state of weakness.

Only the nine Great Sages remained high above, untouched by the Ministry of Finance's tax laws.

Dark Web's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the round, fat man on the ground: "You extended my cultivation transfer system to the bodies of the gods?"

The system He developed can only trade mortal spiritual power; it cannot even trade Nascent Soul level magic power, let alone divine power!

But now, this fat man can forcibly transfer divine power? This has clearly exceeded the limits of the system He developed!!
Meng Shifei's face turned somewhat pale from forcibly extracting taxes, but at this moment, he laughed heartily, suddenly revealing an uncharacteristic arrogance and ferocity he had never shown before.

[I inherited the divine position of True Lord Zhaoli, and the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm was originally my jurisdiction. The cultivation transfer and payment system within the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm was one of the foundations of my immortal path that I established when I ascended!]

Do you really think that the Heavenly Court gained nothing during the three versions of the Dragon Transformation Realm?

Do you really think I'm an incompetent person who can only ascend to heaven by virtue of His Majesty's imperial seal?
