One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

Li Bulian raised an eyebrow and hummed in agreement.

"A solitary island in the water, a lone bird on the islet."

Zhou Sheng tilted his head back.

"A little guy who's learned a variety of skills, he's got good potential."

After speaking, Zhou Sheng turned to Li Buren.

"If we were to fight him, who would win?"

"Did you win or lose?"

Li couldn't bear to answer truthfully.

They ran away.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

"Sometimes I really suspect that Wudang recruited you two just to drive this old man crazy."

Rubbing his temples, Zhou Sheng patiently explained.

"Ding Shian is a martial arts fanatic, but he is more than just a martial arts fanatic. He is afraid of anything or anyone that could harm him."

"You didn't go all out against him this time, so he will definitely fight you again."

"He joined Quanxing only so that others would attack him because of his Quanxing identity. These two heroes are very valuable."

Li Buren nodded.

He knew it was too early to discuss victory or defeat with Ding Shian, and he didn't want to needlessly fight to the death with someone.

"Do you remember what I looked like when you first met me?"

Zhou Sheng suddenly said something.

"The first time? Did it transform into Master Yunlong's appearance...?"

Li couldn't bear it and muttered to himself.

"He was born to govern the entire universe, encompassing all its changes, and thus became king..."

Memories and flashes of inspiration from cultivation intertwined in Li Buren's mind, and he seemed to sense that one point within reach.

"Make me king..."

"I understand! The key point of 'transforming me into king' is not 'becoming king,' but 'transforming me.'"

"With the Qimen Dunjia formation firmly established within me, no matter how vast the world may be, all under heaven belongs to the king; wherever I go, it is all the king's land!"

Zhou Sheng nodded in satisfaction, his gaze toward Li Buren now filled with fervor.

"On Mount Wudang, my three junior brothers all fell into internal qi deviation and demonic possession due to the external Qimen Dunjia method."

"Only Wang Ye succeeded, and this kid only succeeded because he was too lazy and didn't over-exploit and utilize Qimen."

"After all, how difficult it is to influence the changes of heaven and earth with one's own Qi."

"Therefore, only by having the Qimen Dunjia formation within oneself and controlling one's own changes can one truly be considered to have transformed oneself into king."

After a brief explanation, Zhou Sheng began preparing to force Li Buyen to practice Feng Hou Qi Men.

But Li couldn't bear it and shook his head.

"I don't think that's right."

"There is no such thing as true or false, right or wrong in the matter of whether it is predetermined or not; it is only a matter of order."

"Although being pre-selected is secure, it only allows one to control what happens within the system and be the king within it, while being helpless in the face of what happens outside the system."

"External backlashes are inevitable, but they can be limitless. There are always higher heavens beyond heavens, and there can be extraordinary formations within them. The potential of extraordinary formations is immeasurable."

Zhou Sheng frowned.

"Human strength has its limits. You can see the heavens beyond the heavens, but how can you guarantee that a Qimen Dunjia divination can reach those heavens?"

Li couldn't help but smile faintly.

"The great path is boundless; every inch forward brings its own joy."

"No matter how exquisite Feng Hou Qi Men is, it can only ever be a technique. What I seek is the Dao, the true Dao of all things' transformations."

At this moment, Li Buren's mind was as clear as a mirror, and his thoughts were unobstructed.

"Whether it's Xiao Wang's current external appointment or Zhou Shengzu's internal appointment, it's not wrong for me, but it can only be considered a stage, not the end."

"Feng Hou Qi Men is ultimately just a technique, but how can a technique possibly be used to master the methods of all things' changes?"

"What I want to learn is the way of change in all things!"

With his thoughts racing, Li couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down to Zhou Sheng, bowing respectfully.

"Thank you, Master, for imparting my knowledge!"

Zhou Sheng had already shed his fervor and could clearly see that Li Buren had already achieved enlightenment.

It's like when he arrogantly said he wanted to control all changes, but found it too difficult, so he turned to his predetermined self.

But Li Buren is Li Buren, not Zhou Sheng.

"If I were to say that my Feng Hou Qi Men technique has already reached the pinnacle of skill, 'approaching the Dao,' then..."

"So, Li Buren's realization has probably already led him down that path..."

The old man, who had devoted his life to the changes of all things and even discriminated against everyone who could not learn Feng Hou Qi Men, was now at peace.

He looked at Li Buren, who was kneeling and bowing solemnly, his expression shifting with complex emotions, and finally he sighed softly.

"How about I go and teach Xiao Wang Ye a lesson?"

"This makes me feel quite unfulfilled..."

"By the way, I heard you acquired Lu Jin's Heavenly Talisman this time? Do you know how many people covet this of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"

Li shrugged indifferently.

"Having too many lice doesn't make you itch anymore. Those I've fought before, none of them dare to mess with me."

"As for Wang Ai... do you think they'll let me go if I don't take this Heavenly Scroll?"

Zhou Sheng stopped thinking about these things; gaining experience was a good thing.

Instead, he began to ponder.

"By then, Xiao Wang's mastery of Feng Hou Qi Men will inevitably be exposed sooner or later. It's better to make it public sooner so he can experience more trials and tribulations..."

...

"So, I have to pay for the tickets when I go to your hometown?"

Li couldn't bear to look at the successful ticket purchase notification on his phone and couldn't help but kick Wang Ye again.

Wang Ye seemed to have gotten used to it long ago, and casually rested his head on the first-class seat on the high-speed train that Li Buren had bought.

"If my uncles and masters hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you embezzled so much money. I would be sitting in first class too."

Seeing Wang Ye looking so comfortable, Li couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Yes, Master Wang is penniless. He has never even ridden a high-speed train. At the very least, he must have traveled by private jet."

Wang Ye exclaimed "Oh!" and decided not to hide it anymore.

"Senior brother, how did you figure that out? Did you judge me by my demeanor?"

Li Buren chuckled again.

"We're looking at the bank card linked to your WeChat account."

The high-speed train sped along, the scenery outside the window flipping upside down. After this grand Taoist ritual, Li Buren understood many things.

"It turns out that I was too naive before. I actually thought that as long as I took action, I could help others avoid their own calamities."

"But now it seems that fate is predetermined, and there is no way to avoid calamity. It is better to face this calamity head-on."

This trip to Kyoto was also Zhou Sheng's idea.

Both of them needed an opportunity, a chance to face their tribulations.

Li Buren also knew what kind of person Wang was; he only understood his own thoughts after experiencing certain things.

Kyoto

After exiting the station, Li Buren and Wang Ye pushed their suitcases out, where the sunlight was blinding.

Li couldn't help but squint as he looked at the Maybach S680 parked in front of them and its leopard-shaped license plate.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Tell your driver to cover up the sign; it's a bit too bright for my eyes..."

"With your family's resources, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had buried me in the ground, you would have said I was a ginseng."

Wang Ye seemed indifferent, urging Li Buren to get into the car quickly.

As the Maybach sped along the highway, Li couldn't bear to comfortably prop his feet up on the reclined seat.

"Your Wang family is quite powerful, isn't it? There's more than one car that came to pick us up."

Wang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood and looked at the rearview mirror.
