Chapter 266 The First Commandment

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised to see the Nine Springs Command. Apart from the last time he actively summoned Wang Angongcao, no Fengdu artifact had ever reacted automatically in the real world.

The command from the underworld trembled constantly.

He was a little confused and tried asking, "Who's looking for me?"

I was just trying it out casually, but to my surprise, a voice actually came from the token. It was the voice of Wang An, the clerk: "Li Xuan, I am Wang An. I have come here with an imperial edict from the Censor. I need your approval before I can pass through the territory."

Do we still need to do it this way?

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Welcome, Wang Angongcao."

The Nine Springs Command emitted a faint light, and the semi-transparent figure of Wang Angongcao appeared before them, dressed in formal official robes and holding a black scroll. He slowly unfurled it and said:
"Grand Judge Li Xuan has repeatedly rendered meritorious service, which the Northern Emperor greatly admires. He has specially set up the 'Refining the Heart' test to prepare for his promotion. When he enters the mortal world, he is only allowed to bring three items with him, and his own magical power and physique are not subject to this restriction. The items can be his techniques and magical artifacts."

Li Xuan was somewhat shaken when he heard what Wang An said, and his gaze fell on the still swaying green seedlings.

Could it be that Green Sprouts is actually a time-traveling cheat code given to him by the Northern Emperor?

Otherwise, how could one control the content of the world they travel to...?

Wang An followed Li Xuan's gaze to the "Green Seedling" and smiled, "Li Xuan, don't be nervous. The means and ability you rely on to travel through the heavens and obtain rewards are not bestowed by the Northern Emperor, but originate from a higher dimension. However, the Northern Emperor's thoughts were somewhat aligned with that medium, and they discussed it first. The medium resonated with him, which is why you have this special matter of refining your heart."

He said, “What you see, is it the medium? In my eyes, I see only a small hill, nothing else. Perhaps only by going to the realm of the Northern Emperor can one see this treasure. Li Xuan, how fortunate you are! You should seize this opportunity, refine your mind and return.”

Li Xuan asked, "Is the Northern Emperor the Great Emperor of Northern Yin, or the Great Emperor of the Northern Pole Purple Star?"

Wang An laughed and said, "How could there be any difference between the two emperors?"

Li Xuan understood, and then asked, "Which world am I going to? What is my mission? I need to prepare."

Wang An shook his head and said, "The Northern Emperor is merely a concept; the specific appearance of all the realms here is determined by that medium. Don't worry, if you really don't want to participate in the Heart Refining, you can abandon it and enter the myriad realms as usual."

Li Xuan said, "I am willing to refine my heart."

Wang An nodded, the scroll in his hand burning to ashes, and said, "The World of Refining the Heart is not an empty realm. If you perish there, although you may be reborn in this world, it will be difficult to return. If you encounter someone with unfulfilled wishes or someone you care about, treat them with all your heart, and do not let regret accompany you for the rest of your life."

His form became increasingly transparent as he said, "This world is not a place for me to stay for long. As time goes by, I fear I will turn into nothingness. I must take my leave now, and look forward to our reunion."

……

Li Xuan looked at the green seedling in front of him. This thing was more powerful than he had imagined. The Great Emperor of the North Pole was a mythical being who controlled the rotation of stars in the Three Realms. He did not expect that he could sense this green seedling and communicate with it, but he could not forcibly control its operation.

Green seedling, what is your origin?

In his daze, the green seedlings exuded a rich life force, and a beautiful green lawn instantly grew on the ground, so neatly trimmed that it looked like a green carpet.

The language barrier prevented them from understanding each other.

But Li Xuan could sense the kindness emanating from the green seedlings.

Some things you'll know eventually, so don't dwell on things you don't know now.

He stretched his limbs and looked at the green seedling, saying, "The three things I need are: [The Artifact of Free Will], [The Revolving Wheel of World-Avoiding Pattern], and [Thunder Magic]."

As Wang An just explained, in the world they are going to, one's own magical power and physical constitution are not restricted, so the qualities of [immortality] and [tenacious life] will naturally be available. The existence of these two qualities will greatly enhance one's survival ability.

As the words fell...

The green seedlings swayed, a gentle breeze caressed them, soft as a veil. Li Xuan vanished…

……

In the dimly lit underground parking lot, a patrolman in a brand-new uniform was carefully patrolling the area with a flashlight in his hand. His name was Li Guoqiang, and he was a newly recruited officer, meaning he had not been in office for long.

He is a serious person and cherishes his job very much, and he has a strong desire for promotion.

His girlfriend had been with him for several years, and he needed to give her an explanation as soon as possible. However, marriage and living expenses both required money, so he patrolled more diligently than any other police officer, hoping to uncover any cases.

Li Guoqiang suddenly felt a little dizzy, but the sound of car tires screeching on the floor of the underground parking garage pulled him back from his daze...

An old car drove by.

He raised his hand to stop him. The driver was a bespectacled, shirt-wearing, and polite man who was very frank, explaining why he was here so late...

The honesty felt off...

Li Guoqiang said, "There's something wrong with your headlights; they're not working."

The middle-aged man with glasses hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go fix it right away."

With time to spare before the end of his patrol, Li Guoqiang glanced at the vehicle and said, "I know how to fix this. Just give me the tools..."

Seeing that he insisted on fixing the car headlights, the bespectacled man had no choice but to reach into the car to find tools.

Li Guoqiang slowly walked around the car to inspect it when suddenly the trunk opened automatically. His pupils contracted, and inside was the curled-up corpse of a young girl covered in blood.

The murder is undeniable...

He instinctively reached for his gun, but the bespectacled man was already standing in front of him, also holding a gun.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, and Li Guoqiang fell to the ground, writhing in agony.

The bespectacled man was extremely smug. He took out his ID from Li Guoqiang, looked at the address on it, and mocked, "How much do you charge a month? I told you not to meddle in other people's business, but you insisted. Now look what happened! So this is where you live..."

In his moment of smugness and delusion.

Li Guoqiang's pupils contracted to their maximum size, trembling uncontrollably, as the girl's corpse, which had been lying in the trunk of the car, stiffly sat up, her hands cupping a large amount of blood.

The bespectacled man followed his gaze and was startled by the terrifying scene!
Li Guoqiang seized the opportunity, pulled the trigger, emptied the magazine, and knocked the bespectacled man down before losing consciousness himself...

Silence fell over the basement.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard, and a young man in casual clothes arrived. It was Li Xuan, who had just transmigrated. He had come in to check after hearing faint gunshots outside, but he never expected to encounter a shootout and a murder.

He felt that the scene looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the police officer was none other than Li Guoqiang, the protagonist of the movie "The First Commandment".

Upon seeing this character, Li Xuan couldn't help but recall a meme he had seen before, which depicted Huang Yaozu, another protagonist in the drama, speaking excitedly.

I didn't expect it to be the world of the First Commandment; no wonder there's no spiritual energy there.

This is Li Guoqiang, and the other one is the serial killer Chen Fulai. He will turn into a vengeful ghost and haunt Li Guoqiang and Huang Yaozu. It's better to get rid of him now!
