Chapter 363: Picking Stars with Your Hands

Marshal Tianpeng's body was somewhat illusory, but the aura he emitted almost blew Li Xuan away. Even though it wasn't his true physical form, merely a phantom projection, it left all demons and monsters nowhere to hide...

He glanced at Li Xuan and smiled, "He is quite diligent."

The living star's tongue had already covered the island nation, shattering the land, but it abruptly stopped, then retracted. A fierce fear filled its eyes, and without hesitation, it turned its massive body and fled into the depths of space at the speed of light…

Marshal Tianpeng wasn't in a hurry. He looked around the world with great curiosity and said, "Hmm... You always manage to find such wonderful places. It's quite valuable. No wonder the Northern Emperor favors you so much!"

Li Xuan was about to speak.

Marshal Tianpeng transformed into a beam of white light and soared into the sky, instantly disappearing into the air.

In the universe, living planets exhaust all their strength, fleeing at maximum speed, even crashing into and shattering more than a dozen other planets before daring not to stop...

boom!
It suddenly crashed into a wall covered in flesh.

Ninety percent of the vegetation and strange creatures on the living planet were instantly wiped out. It looked up in astonishment with its single eye, and its pupil contracted violently!

Because... it hit someone's palm.

This person's height was unknown; he stood in the universe, surrounded by starlight and filled with countless mysterious phenomena. At this moment, even describing him as towering and upright would be a derogatory term.

He is none other than Marshal Tianpeng!

The living star was like a ping-pong ball in the hands of Marshal Tianpeng. With a slight squeeze, it emitted a miserable cry, and all the strange life on the ground around it was annihilated...

Marshal Tianpeng felt that he hadn't done anything yet, just played with the living star a couple of times, and the thing was already in a near-death state, extremely fragile.

He surveyed the universe, nodded slightly, took out a semi-transparent bag, threw the living star inside, thought for a moment, and then, as if picking grapes in the countryside, selected a few relatively large and bright stars nearby, put them in the bag, and with a flash, disappeared without a trace...

With the disappearance of the living planet, Earth was no longer subject to external gravitational interference, and everything that had floated in the air began to fall!
Suddenly, a silvery light covered the entire sky, illuminating the Earth. Everything that had been lifted into the sky by gravity landed safely and smoothly, but the enormous damage caused earlier remained.

The seawater receded slowly back into the ocean as if time had reversed, revealing the devastated land.

On the hilltop of Black Vortex Town, Li Xuan felt that only two minutes had passed before Marshal Tianpeng returned. He was carrying a semi-transparent "plastic bag" containing several glowing objects. One of the objects looked somewhat familiar; wasn't it the living planet that had almost destroyed Earth just now?
He's already had diarrhea after only two minutes?

Marshal Tianpeng took out a living star from the "plastic bag" and spread it in his palm, saying, "This world is too fragile. A star was almost shattered as soon as it showed signs of becoming a spirit. Well, it is rare for you to find such a world. Since I am here, I will take a few stars with me and let the Northern Emperor see this novel sight."

Li Xuan was somewhat at a loss for words regarding such a sophisticated topic.

He could only bow and express his gratitude.

Marshal Tianpeng disliked formalities and spoke bluntly: "The Northern Emperor told me that your future path will be increasingly difficult, and you may encounter evil spirits such as the Six Heavenly Demons. You must be cautious in everything you do and must not be negligent in the slightest!"

Li Xuan hurriedly replied, "I will obey the decree!"

Marshal Tianpeng placed the living star into a "plastic bag," as if carrying a bag of pork, and said, "Now that you know, I'm leaving."

He transformed into light and vanished into the ancestral tablet.

Li Xuan was in a great mood. The fact that Marshal Tianpeng hadn't scolded him or stabbed him with his sword this time meant that his performance had improved a lot...

What does it mean that we will encounter evil spirits like the Six Cave Heavenly Demons in the future?
Whether it's the version of Zhang Daoling vanquishing demons at the end of the Longhan era or the version of the Northern Emperor and the Four Saints vanquishing demons at the beginning of the Longhan era, the Six Cave Heavenly Demons have already been suppressed, and the Six Cave Heavenly Demon Palace has been established in Fengdu for the Northern Emperor to command...

Could it be that in different worlds, there are still demons that have not yet been suppressed?

Li Xuan felt the magical power within his body. Now that he had reached the perfect stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, with a little more effort he could break through and enter the realm of Spirit Refining and Returning to Emptiness. This strength was enough to beat up an ordinary horror movie... He put away the altar and came down from the mountain. He found that Black Vortex Town had changed drastically. What used to be a residential area was now buried under a large number of building debris, and many people were lying in the ruins wailing.

The damage this disaster has caused around the world is probably unimaginable...

Technology will regress by at least several years.

Post-disaster reconstruction is a major issue.

Li Xuan opened the door to the house, and Lingzi and Reiko walked out like zombies. They could hardly believe their eyes, and they couldn't believe they had survived such a disaster!

Lingzi said blankly, "Li Chejun, please slap me."

Reiko was also a little dazed, but she snapped back to reality after hearing this and whispered, "How could Lee Cha-kun do this..."

Snapped!
A resounding slap exploded across Lingzi's face!

Li Xuan controlled his strength slightly, his dazed state not causing him any mental strain. Looking at Lingzi, whose cheek was swollen with five finger marks, he asked, "Are you feeling better?"

He's just that helpful.

When others have needs, shouldn't we timidly impose moral constraints on ourselves, which would be harmful to others?

Lingzi covered her cheek and sobbed, "I...I'm much better, thank you, Mr. Li Che."

She noticed Li Xuan staring blankly at the ruins of Black Vortex Town and assumed he was worried about the post-disaster reconstruction work, so she comforted him, "Without the threat of a living planet, humanity will soon establish a new order. If we work together, at least life in Black Vortex Town will soon return to stability..."

Upon hearing the word "peace and stability," Li Xuan recalled the residents who had been blocking his way before he went up the mountain.

He said, "I'm leaving here."

The two girls had already guessed this outcome and said, "Are we going back to our own worlds?"

Li Xuan shook his head: "I will stay for another six months, but I will return to China in the west, because in my own world I am also a Chinese..."

Reiko understood: "Li Chejun wants to return to his country and do his part, right?"

Li Xuan hummed in agreement: "This world is amazing. I've stayed in this island nation for too long; it's time to return to the vast mainland and see more of the world..."

He was also a little curious whether other countries also had strange tales in the stories written by Junji Ito.

In the time that followed, Li Xuan returned to China, where he walked in the shadows, using his magic to help many people at crucial moments...

Time flies, and six months have passed in no time.

Reiko and Reiko left the island nation, crossed the ocean to China, and met Li Xuan in the northwestern desert. The reason was simple: Li Xuan had said that he would be leaving after staying for six months, so they decided to come and see him one last time.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye for Li Xuan, but it felt like a long time for the two girls.

Lingzi mustered her courage and rushed forward, wanting to give Li Xuan a kiss.

Li Xuan reached out and pressed her face: "Let's just say goodbye normally. Any emotional actions I take will only become a source of regret in your future lives."
