Chapter 363 Water God Li Xing, Your Father-in-Law is a Good Person

Li Wushou watched silently.

On the other side, Wu Zhuangyuan stood with his hands behind his back, sealing off the heavens and the earth.

From the moment he enlightened Xuandu to today's calamity star forcefully devouring Canglan Yangshen and entering the sixth heaven, spanning several decades, this matter concerns Qinghe's path of cultivation and he cannot afford to be careless!

After observing the position of his destiny star, Scholar Wu nodded in approval.

Fortunately, everything went as expected, and even better than anticipated!

This made him somewhat happy.

A moment later, the Destiny Star concealed itself in the sixth heaven, the Calamity Star suppressed its aura, opened its eyes, and knelt on one knee before Scholar Wu, bowing:
"Disciple Li Xing greets Master!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou's expression shifted, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes: Li Xing? Master?
Wu Zhuangyuan, standing beside him, glanced at the jinx's condition, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and praised:

"Not bad! The foundation is more solid than I imagined. There is no doubt that you will one day create your own world."

Whether it was the calamity star or Li Xing, he bowed again and said:

"It's all thanks to Master's guidance!"

Wu Zhuangyuan waved his hand, and Li Xing, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up uncontrollably.

Then, Wu Zhuangyuan said without any concealment:

"Whether it's good or bad is still unknown. If we're not careful, we might not even be as carefree and comfortable as we were after being merged with the Canglan Yangshen."

Li Xing's expression turned solemn, and he bowed again, replying earnestly:
"That was Li Xing's own choice. I truly do not wish to have my body controlled by others any longer, and to do things I do not want to do! From now on, Li Xing will do everything in his power to help Senior Sister achieve enlightenment!"

Wu Zhuangyuan nodded slightly and said nothing more, preparing to return to Zhenhai City with Li Xing and Li Wushou.

But then Li Xing suddenly turned around, bowed to Li Wushou's spirit beside him, and said with a smile:

"Brother Li, it's been a long time! I didn't expect to run into you here!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuangyuan glanced back and forth between Li Xing and Li Wushou, and indeed the two knew each other before.

No wonder Li Wushou reminded him earlier in the Canglan Divine Realm that there was a person who possessed a god in the outside world; it turned out he had met him before.

Is it just Li Xing? Or Li Wushou?

As far as he knew, Li Xing didn't have a name; his parents always called him a jinx.

He was originally a twin, but because of the birth of the Canglan Yang God, Canglan manipulated him to eat his younger brother in the womb.

This is also why he was disliked by his parents. Later, Canglan Yangshen would forcibly control his body from time to time, torment his parents, and manipulate them to abuse him, all in order to make him give up on life completely.

Once Canglan brings the foundation of a true god, he will be able to completely merge with his soul and break free from his original constraints.

So when did he change his name to Li Xing?

If I calculate the time, it seems to be around the time when Li Wushou came to Fubo Domain from Huazhou.

Could it be?

This made Wu Zhuangyuan feel extremely uncomfortable!
On the other hand, Li Wushou was somewhat surprised that the jinx still remembered him.

He had assumed that Wu Zhuangyuan's spiritual refinement meant that the other party had likely already completely severed ties with the past, and might even be a completely new person.

Although he was still the same as before, there was no trace of cowardice on the face of the calamity star at this moment.

Looking at it now, it's amazing that it still retains its past memories?
So, does this mean that Scholar Wu really did take him as a disciple?

This inexplicably put Li Wushou in a good mood, so he replied with a smile:

"It hasn't been long at all. I never expected that you would become a sixth-level Heavenly God in the blink of an eye!"

Li Xing scratched his head, revealing a youthful appearance.

"This is all thanks to Master's cultivation; Li Xing is merely reaping the benefits without lifting a finger."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Xing seemed to remember something, and looked a little embarrassed, but still continued speaking to Li Wushou:
"Oh, by the way, Brother Li, after my parents died, I've been learning to live on my own, so I changed my name to Li Xing, Li as in Brother Li, and Xing as in 'disaster star.' I hope Brother Li won't mind."

Li Wushou had no objection to this; there were many people in the world with the surname Li, and it wasn't exclusive to him.

Wu Zhuangyuan, who was standing to the side, thought to himself, "As expected," and his displeasure intensified.
If I had known that Li Xing came from this, I would have been better off calling him Wu Xing.
Now that the true name of the deity has been established, it's not so easy to change it. This made Wu Zhuangyuan feel as if he had swallowed a fly. He always felt that Li Wushou was trying to steal his family property.

He had just acquired the Twelve Continents, and now his apprentice had inexplicably taken his surname, along with his own daughter.
Seeing the two exchanging pleasantries with smiles, Scholar Wu gave a light snort and interrupted:
"I still have matters to attend to in Zhenhai City, I'm leaving!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xing quickly shut his mouth. Li Wushou glanced suspiciously at Wu Zhuangyuan, who was suddenly in a huff. What was wrong with this old man now?
He wanted to ask some questions, but Wu Zhuangyuan had already opened up the void and stepped into the crevice.

"baffling!"

After muttering something to himself, Li Wushou and Li Xing followed him inside, one after the other.

Zhenhai City

More than a month has passed since the annual sacrifice in Fubo Domain. The killings under the edge of the sky have gradually faded from people's conversations, and ordinary life has returned to its former tranquility.

However, the various factions in the Fubo Domain have been paying close attention to the progress in Tianzhiya.

Since the beginning of the annual festival, after the Great Venerable summoned the gods of the Fubo Domain and the celestial gods of the twelve continents to the edge of the sky, the gods have never appeared again, and even the sea patrol envoys of the Great Venerable's lineage have not.

This clearly indicates that something big is about to happen, and they are all very curious. However, since this is a matter concerning a great deity, the various forces dare not inquire too much and can only observe silently.

Today was just like any other day; after observing the edge of the sky as usual, everyone prepared to look away. Suddenly, they noticed that beneath the edge of the sky, clouds and mist were slowly gathering, and a towering pillar of clouds abruptly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a divine diagram suddenly appeared at the top of the cloud pillar.

The Great Venerable's illusory figure sat in the center, surrounded by seven halos containing eighteen celestial gods and one hundred and eight earth gods from the Fubo Domain.

All the forces that had been keeping a close watch on the edge of the sky moved in unison and stood at the foot of the edge of the sky.

Looking around, almost everyone present this time was a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Around the time of the annual festival, such a major event occurred in the Western Sea Vein that the top powers in the Fubo Domain all became aware of the crisis.

Therefore, all parties began to send Nascent Soul cultivators to Zhenhai City, so that if the Great Venerable issued any new decrees, they would have enough authority to adjust and respond in a timely manner!

After more than a month, Tianzhiya finally made a move.

Looking at the phantom image of the divine path, everyone was puzzled. What was the purpose of the Great Venerable summoning these deities?
Just then, a grand voice emanated from the shrine.

"I hereby announce to all that Li Xing, a man of the outer seas, is of a resilient character, filial and virtuous. I have taken him as my disciple and bestowed upon him the title of Water God of the Fubo Domain, granting him control over water-related matters both within and outside the Fubo Domain!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a faint light quietly appeared in the divine path diagram.

The seven halos retreated simultaneously, creating a new space beneath Wu Zhuangyuan. A faint light flickered, and an unfamiliar divine figure sat within it—Li Xing, who had just been exchanging pleasantries with Li Wushou.

The moment the figure appeared, the water vapor in Zhenhai City surged and swirled towards the horizon.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, and a black star appeared in the hearts of thousands of people in Fubo Domain. Mortals bowed and kowtowed to welcome Li Xing, the God of Water!
The six or seven Nascent Soul cultivators at the edge of the sky, who had been looking perfectly normal, suddenly changed their expressions upon seeing this Destiny Star.

"It's actually a sixth-level Heavenly God!"

Reaching the sixth level of the Divine Path is equivalent to the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. If one were to transform their Destiny Star into a Divine Realm and establish it in the Boundary Sea at this moment, then the other party would be a true god.

A true god of the sixth heaven is inferior to a great deity, but is still enough to sweep away a god of transformation!

Doesn't this mean that Fubo Domain has welcomed a god who surpasses all immortals?

Did the Great Venerable lead the gods of the Fubo Domain into seclusion for over a month just to elect such a Water God?

No one offered them an answer, yet the voice arose again from the Shinto chart:

"A general order is hereby issued to all parties to complete the creation of the divine tablet and golden body of the Water God Li Xing within ten days and place them in the major temples of Fubo Domain. From this day forward, all parties in Fubo Domain must not slacken their offerings. Do you understand?"

Everyone present was startled and quickly bowed, replying, "Yes, sir!"

The divine diagram hummed and trembled, slowly dissipating above the towering cloud pillar.

The once tranquil Zhenhai City was once again in an uproar, and the entire Fubo Domain also became lively at the same time.

Within the edge of the sky
Everyone remained in the same sitting posture as when Li Wushou left, except that the positions of the twelve continental gods were empty.

His soul was contained within the invisible golden elixir. Li Wushou took a step and entered his physical body, a long-lost feeling of fullness resonating in his mind.

The others were unmoved by Li Wushou's departure and return; they were completely unaware of it.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Li Xing, who was standing beside the Great Venerable, with curiosity.

The crowd had various expressions, and their gazes frequently fell on Li Wushou and Li Xing.

In their minds, the person most likely to be accepted as a disciple by the Great Venerable should be Li Wushou, who caused a great disturbance as soon as he arrived in Zhenhai City.

Unexpectedly, he ended up taking in an unknown Li Xing, who was also a god!

It was even the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, which surprised everyone.

The Nascent Soul cultivators, along with the two Sea Patrol Envoys, Chongyuan and Bulan, were not surprised by Li Xing's appearance. Li Wushou even saw Li Xing give Bulan and Chongyuan a subtle nod.

Just as I guessed, Chongyuan's so-called mission in the outer sea was actually a trap set for Canglan by targeting Li Xing!
Having realized this, Li Wushou withdrew his gaze and focused his mind on the Three Immortals Pavilion.

Incense smoke filled the Three Immortals Pavilion. The old beggar and Chen Gou'er were fast asleep. Li Wushou lit an incense stick and then casually scooped up a handful of incense.

Then he turned to the old beggar and Chen Gou'er and shouted:
"Old beggar, get up and get to work! This harvest is huge!"

Chen Gou'er suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly asked:

"Is there flesh and blood?"

The joy on Li Wushou's face froze. "No!"

Somewhat disappointed, Chen Gou'er covered his head and fell fast asleep again.

The old beggar yawned and got up, picking his ear as he said irritably:
"What could a dilapidated god realm that's just fishing possibly gain? It would be more impressive if they wiped out all twelve continents."

Li Wushou stood tall, smiling without saying a word, and took out the life stars of the three celestial gods one by one.

The old beggar said with a look of disgust:
"As expected, it's this kind of thing. Even the gods in the divine realm find it as tasteless as domestic chickens!"

Li Wushou was not annoyed. He then took out the Ziwei Destiny Star and placed it on the square table. The old beggar's eyes lit up.

"That's what it looks like!"

Just as he was about to pick it up and play with it, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Li Wushou with a shocked look:
"You've truly defeated the gods of the twelve continents! You've rebelled?"

Holding the Ziwei Destiny Star in his hand, the old beggar gazed at the intricate water veins, the Dragon King's Yin Spirit, and the slumbering gods of the twelve continents within, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, he managed to utter a single sentence:
"Li Wushou, I advise you to reconsider. Your father-in-law is actually a good person!"
