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

Chapter 526 From Despair to Survive, Taiyi Zhenren
Because Ge Hong couldn't decipher the string of garbled characters on Li Wei's body, and Li Wei wouldn't tell him his secrets, he could only attribute this powerful learning and imitation ability to the special nature of the mutation flow.

"Kid, your ability is truly terrifying. Unless it's an emergency, I suggest you use it sparingly in the future."

Ge Hong looked at him solemnly and said:

[There are countless true gods, each with their own unique skills. If you were to learn all their skills, there would be no place for you in the entire Three Realms!]

Moreover, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind.

The power you possess now is already astonishing! If your ability to imitate were to become known, it would likely irritate many people!

Li Wei nodded and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, True Emperor."

He knew that Ge Hong might not have cared much for his subordinates, but he certainly cared for his research materials.

Before Li Wei lost his research value, Ge Hong would definitely do his best to protect him.

【correct! 】

You don't need to worry about rescuing the Plague Emperor.

[After all, you're now a hero recognized by the world. It's said that because of you, most of the neutral beings in the Three Realms have begun to believe that the Heavenly Court will ultimately win, bringing us a massive amount of popularity!]

[Popularity is fortune! At this time, the Heavenly Court desperately needs good fortune! Therefore, I will arrange for you to return to Zhongzhou to participate in various talk shows and lectures. You should show your face to mortals as much as possible and strive to maximize your reputation!]

Li Wei frowned slightly and hesitated, then said, "But what about my Law Base Station?"

[Ha! Am I that kind of petty person? Since Camp No. 27 has been given to you, it's yours! Don't you have so many clones? When you go on tour in Central Plains, just have them continue building.]

Li Wei was stunned: "Such a good thing?!"

[Heh heh! Compared to the contributions you've made, these benefits are utterly insignificant.]

Ge Hong raised his head, his eyes filled with reverence, and said, "The Three Pure Ones truly have the discernment to recognize talent! They actually dared to use you to challenge Yang Jian, initiating the second duel between good and evil! At that time, not only the Nine Sages of the Heretical Path, the Buddhist Sect, the Dragon Clan, and the Heaven-Slaying Alliance placed heavy bets on you losing, but even I couldn't resist placing a bet myself."

[But I never expected that you would turn the impossible into possible and defeat Yang Jian in a head-on battle!!]

In this way, we not only won massive resources from these evil forces, but also dozens of divine positions, and even a vast amount of fortune, sweeping away the Heavenly Court's defeat on two fronts!

Therefore, in my opinion, you are undoubtedly the most meritorious soldier in the Heavenly Court. I am awarding you the 27th Battalion; no one can find fault with that!

Li Wei hadn't expected his victory to have such a huge impact, so he confidently declared, "Then I'll take the lead without hesitation. Once things are settled here, I'll head to Zhongzhou tomorrow to begin my inspection tour."

The words have not yet fallen.

A man with an aged appearance and a green bud between his brows suddenly lifted the tent flap and entered, interrupting with a smile:
"Although I really didn't want to be the bad guy, I'm sorry, Li Wei, it seems you're not leaving this time."

Li Wei looked at the newcomer, his eyes suddenly widening: "Lord Bingzhu? What brings you here?!"

"A dying man should be put to good use! That's why the Three Pure Ones sent me to lead a team into the Dragon Slave Kingdom to rescue the Plague Emperor."

Ge Hong's expression turned quite grim: "Look at your condition, you can't even control your divine power anymore. Going to the Dragon Slave Kingdom is just suicide!"

Venus shrugged: "It all depends on human effort!"

[What's more, the Three Pure Ones have given me a way to survive by putting myself in a do-or-die situation. If I'm lucky, I might be able to live for a while longer; if I'm unlucky, you might just witness my final dance!]

Ge Hong fell silent for a long time before finally saying, "You shouldn't have told me this."

"It's alright, I still trust your character, Ge Hong! After all, you're still young, not as completely corrupt as us old folks, so you wouldn't harm me behind my back."

"Besides, you're not interested in the position of Chief of the Army, are you?"

Venus's expression appeared very optimistic.

Ge Hong was speechless: "It seems a dying man's words are truly kind. I never imagined the cunning and calculating Lord of War would one day confide in me! With your changing nature and shifting emotions, and the five yin energies burning intensely, it seems your chances of dying this time are very high!"

"So be it, I've lived so many years, it's really time to die! It's just a pity about this kid, having to go on an adventure with this old man like me."

Ge Hong frowned, somewhat annoyed, and said, "That's why I submitted a request to the Heavenly Court to replace him."

"Hmm! It was rejected, and," Venus helplessly spread her hands, "some people we don't even want to see have come!"

The tents were blown open once again.

Immediately following, a chubby man, dressed in a snow-white robe and with his chest exposed, walked in: "You damned Taibai, explain yourself! Why is our Jade Void Palace disliked?"

[And who am I?] [I'm Taiyi!! Your good brother! I even treated you to drinks when you ascended to immortality, have you forgotten?]

Taibai Jinxing rolled her eyes: "Whoever takes this personally, I'll say so. Please, your Jade Void Palace should have some self-awareness, okay? Look at Ge Hong's expression—is that an expression of liking?"

Ge Hong's eye twitched slightly, his displeasure clearly visible. And like Taibai Jinxing, he didn't bother to feign it, directly and bluntly asking: "Why isn't the master of Yuxu Palace enjoying his retirement in Kunlun Mountain? What are you doing here in my military camp?"

Taiyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said aggrievedly, "Even Xiao Hong, you're like this? When you ascended to immortality, I even invited you to my home to sleep side by side. Have you forgotten all that?"

It would have been better if He hadn't brought it up, because the mere mention of it enraged Ge Hong, who roared, "Is that what you call sleeping side by side? That's clearly...!"

Venus grabbed Ge Hong and pinned him down.

He then realized what was happening and glared at Li Wei: "You brat! Didn't you see our master was about to speak? What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and build your Law Base Station, and rescue the Plague Emperor in three days!"

Although Ge Hong was very dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court's decision.

However, the moment He saw Taiyi Zhenren, He knew that this decision could not be changed. With a wave of his hand, He threw Li Wei out of the camp and then activated all the anti-peeping law systems, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

"call!!"

Ge Hong took a deep breath, finally suppressing his anger, and asked again: "What brings you from Jade Void Palace here?"

Taiyi Zhenren sighed, then abruptly straightened his body, exuding an ancient and majestic aura: "I have been ordered to slay the Ancestral Dragon!!"

First Emperor?

What ancestral dragon?
After being thrown out of the tent, Li Wei shouldn't have been eavesdropping anymore, but the white-robed man named Taiyi Zhenren weighed on his heart like a mountain, making him involuntarily activate his Destiny Echo entry and listen to the voice of destiny within the tent.

To my surprise, he actually heard some echoes.

"Besides rescuing people this time, do these old guys also want to plot against the Ancestral Dragon? Aren't they being a bit too greedy?"

Tucao to Tucao,
However, Li Wei knew that, given the Heavenly Court's nature, they wouldn't take the risk unless they were absolutely certain of success, especially regarding the Jade Void Palace.
This place is not only the ancestral home of the Chan Sect, but also the victor of the Investiture of the Gods, and the main beneficiary of the division of heaven and earth. Taiyi Zhenren should be the second-generation disciple of Yuxu Palace and the main successor of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Logically speaking, He should have entered the Great Luo long ago!
But if he wasn't mistaken, this Taiyi Zhenren seemed to only have the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

The Heavenly Dao 0.81 System whispered: [Master, He is indeed only a Golden Immortal, but just now He gave me a feeling even more dangerous than a Great Luo Immortal! When facing Him, I felt as if I were facing the Three Pure Ones; I didn't dare to even breathe!]

Ok?
Is it possible that the Taiyi Zhenren is comparable to the Three Pure Ones?
Is this fatso really that strong?
The military tent in front of them suddenly opened, and Taiyi Zhenren rushed out like the wind, knocking Li Wei to the ground with a single punch: "Don't call me that fatso! You little bastard!!"

Li Wei was stunned!
This fatso can actually hear my thoughts?!

bump! !

Li Wei got punched again!

Didn't I tell you not to call me "fatty"? Respect your elders, you bastard!!

A dignified Golden Immortal actually dared to hit me! You know you should respect the elderly and care for the young?!
Li Wei glared at him angrily, roaring inwardly, but Taiyi Zhenren did not react at all.

Ok?
Is it possible that this guy can only hear the words "fatso"?
Boom! ! !
really! ! !

Li Wei took another punch, and was lifted up by Taiyi Zhenren, swaying in the air as he cried out, "Ahhh! I told you not to yell, but you still yell! Do you know how much damage calling someone a 'fatso' hurts someone like me who's obese?"

Why don't you lose weight?

[Aaaaaah! Do you know how tempting fried chicken and beer are late at night? Do you know how painful it is to lose weight? Do you know how hard I work every day?!]

As Taiyi Zhenren shook his head, the wig on his head fell off, revealing his shiny, receding hairline.

Dead!

The air fell into a deathly silence.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Taiyi Zhenren's eyes: [What did you see?]

The aura of death was overwhelming, and Li Wei quickly regained his composure: "I've been blind lately, I didn't see anything!"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded in satisfaction, picked up the wig, put it on, stomped his foot, and hid on the ground. He hid until no one was paying attention, and then reluctantly bit his clothes.

Oh oh oh!
why!
Why am I losing hair when I'm so handsome?!
Why am I gaining weight despite trying so hard? This is so embarrassing!

but
Master Taiyi's expression gradually turned serious: "That lad seems rather strange. We'll probably have to reconsider our plans regarding bringing him into the Jade Void Palace this time."
