Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 153 The Mirror of Destiny
It can only be said that Han Li is indeed a bit naive now. Although he has the necessary awareness, he is far inferior to the Han Laomo (Old Demon Han) he will become in the future.

The reason for creating "Liu Bang," a rogue and unruly figure, was actually to pave the way for Wei Wuxian's alter ego, allowing him to better interact with Han Xin.

When Han Li first arrived here, although he already believed in the existence of this blessed land, he was still wary.

If someone were to trick them at this point, and then someone else were to appear and help them out of their predicament, the two of them would likely feel a certain amount of gratitude.

Yes, there are some, but not many. Some might even suspect that Wei Wuxian has ulterior motives.

But adding flowers to brocade is ultimately not as good as providing charcoal in the snow. Han Yun, as an incarnation, only needs to gradually dispel the two's wariness, and perhaps he will become a good friend of Han Li.

Especially the TV series version of Han Li, compared to the comic version, is actually more trusting of others, and overall he is more "naive".

Han Li might be wary of others, but he might not be wary of "himself." Wei Wuxian could start by using the TV series version of Han Li as a breakthrough point, and then slowly gain the trust of the comic book version of Han Li.

In short, those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little.

Whether it's the world of "Under One Person" or the myriad realms, connections and seniority are essential.

When Han Li truly becomes the Heavenly Venerable Han, Han Yun can easily call upon others to fight for him when he encounters a difficult enemy.

Han Yun: Is it you taking on our whole group, or us taking on you one by one?

As the saying goes, "Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible," a sentiment Han Yun deeply agrees with.

After Wei Wuxian met Han Li and his companion, he led them to a shop called "Immortal Cloud Shoes," but Han Li and his companion both hesitated to enter.

Wei Wuxian turned around and smiled: "What, are you afraid I'll trick you too?"

The two Han Lis looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing this. The TV version of Han Li cupped his hands and said, "Senior Wei, you misunderstand. It's just that after what happened, I really dare not accept your kindness rashly."

Wei Wuxian laughed heartily and introduced the shop to the two of them: "This shop was opened by Liu Bei, the descendant of Liu Bang and the Emperor Zhaolie of Han. He has excellent skills in weaving mats and selling shoes. He usually sells boots and other magical artifacts."

"I can't just let Liu Bang eat my three hundred pieces of jade for nothing, can I?"

Wei Wuxian blinked and revealed a sly smile: "So every time that old rogue finishes ripping someone off, I come to his descendant's shop to ask for a pair of shoes."

"Then you can resell them and make a few coins from the jade!"

Before he could finish speaking, a clear laugh suddenly rang out from inside the shop: "Young friend Wei, are you here to freeload on my shoes again?"

A white-robed man with earlobes reaching his shoulders and hands extending past his knees emerged from behind the curtain, his jade pendant jingling at his waist. He bowed to the two Han Lis and said, "I am Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande. I have heard about what you two young friends have done. My ancestor acted absurdly, and I apologize for the ridicule you two have made."

Seeing that this person had an extraordinary demeanor, the two quickly returned the greeting.

Liu Bei casually took out two pairs of seemingly ordinary cloth shoes from his sleeve and said, "These are Cloud-Walking Shoes. They generate the Qi of wind and thunder, and when you walk on them, you will feel as if you are floating in the air. Although they are not precious magical artifacts, they are quite useful for fellow cultivators who are just beginning their cultivation."

Wei Wuxian casually picked up a shoe, weighed it in his hand, and then handed it to Han Li and the other man.

Han Li and his companion were somewhat flattered and repeatedly declined.

Wei Wuxian said, "Take it. It's just a small amount of money, not worth mentioning. Consider it my investment in you two."

The two then accepted it.

Then, Wei Wuxian turned his head again: "Uncle Liu, it's not a good idea for you to keep paying for my boots like this!"

He suddenly leaned close to Liu Bei's ear and whispered a few words.

Liu Bei looked troubled after hearing this: "Well, although Emperor Gaozu was unruly, he was still an elder." Wei Wuxian pouted: "That old rogue stole three jars of Emperor's Smile from me last month. If you ask me, we should have the Ministry of Justice arrest him and punish him."

"Ahem, let's do it according to Young Friend Wei's wishes!"

Then, a dashing and extraordinary man appeared from behind the shop.

Liu Bei bowed to him and addressed him as "Emperor Shizu!"

Liu Xiu nodded and then said, "No matter how rich our family is, it can't withstand the extravagance of Emperor Gaozu. Moreover, living in the grotto is not easy. We are already struggling to make ends meet, and we can hardly afford the rent for our shops."

"Moreover, admonishing one's parents to correct their mistakes is a matter of filial piety! Our great-grandfather was like this, and we, his descendants, are also heartbroken!"

Suddenly, a commotion was heard outside the shop.

Liu Bang rushed into the shop in a panic, followed by a fat chef holding a rolling pin.

"My two dear grandsons, save me quickly!" Liu Bang dodged behind Liu Bei and Liu Xiu. "I only stole two of their Eight Treasures Golden Pheasants!"

Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up, and a Dragon-Binding Rope suddenly flew out from his sleeve, instantly binding Liu Bang tightly. He turned to the two Han Lis and smiled, "The chance for revenge has arrived, want to go together?"

Liu Xiu pulled Liu Bei away silently.

While the TV series version of Han Li is still hesitating, the comic book version of Han Li has already silently rolled up his sleeves.

after a while.

A notice was posted on the white jade pillar of the Heavenly Market Wall, which read in essence: "Liu Bang has been sentenced to three months of washing dishes at the Zhiwei Restaurant for deceiving newcomers and dining and dashing. This is hereby announced as a warning to others."

In the kitchen of Zhiweixuan Restaurant, Liu Bang, under a spell, muttered as he washed dishes, "Back when I started my rebellion after slaying the white snake..."

"Shut up and get to work!" The fat cook slammed a rolling pin on the stove. "You're not eating until you've washed these three thousand dishes today!"

After witnessing this scene through the Water Mirror Technique, Wei Wuxian and his two companions laughed heartily. It is said that the three most important bonds in life are the friendships between the three brothers. After experiencing the Liu Bang incident, Han Li also became much closer to Wei Wuxian.

After exchanging a glance, the two Han Lis finally took out their Everlasting Spring Techniques and asked for guidance.

After reading it, Wei Wuxian laughed and said, "This is a cultivation technique, but it's a bit basic."

"Cultivation to immortality?!"

The two were quite surprised.

Wei Wuxian feigned surprise and asked, "What, don't you know that you two have already reached the second level of Qi Refining?"

The two looked embarrassed and finally told each other their story.

"Is that so? It is indeed a bit strange that you are only taught to cultivate techniques but not to protect yourselves."

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "In this blessed land, there is a precious mirror left behind by the great master who created this world, Xuanqing Dongwei Tianzun."

"It allows one to glimpse parts of the fate of all living beings in the myriad realms, meaning to seize a glimmer of hope for all living beings, but it comes at a certain price."

The two immediately asked, "What is the price?"

Wei Wuxian produced a few small red jade coins: "Of course they are merit jade coins, and it also depends on whether you are a destined person. If the destiny is not there, even if you send a lot of merit jade coins, the treasure mirror will not open."

"If you two are interested, why not give it a try!"
