"No, where did you put this?" Wei Kun exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't panic." Li Mingyu said calmly, looking around. He was already used to Wei Kun's unpredictable moods.

"Hmm? That's not right."

"Right now, Wei Kun and I aren't talking, but rather communicating telepathically."

Li Mingyu had a feeling that, if he wanted, he could instantly connect with Wei Kun and communicate with him telepathically.

"Hahaha! I know! Maybe the door leads to Earth!" Wei Kun was overjoyed and rushed over, bumping into one of the doors.

He stood there for a moment, but there was no movement.

Wei Kun wondered, "Could it be that I'm doing it wrong?"

Li Mingyu scanned the thirteen stone gates and sensed a familiar attraction.

Those allurements, as if coalescing into strange, meaningless symbols within the grayness, crawled over him, even causing a slight itch.

"These symbols seem familiar...it's from that immortal manual."

Wei Kun had the same feeling. He turned to look at Li Mingyu, and the two of them reacted at the same time:

"Fairy Code!"

"Holy crap, a Celestial Scripture!"

Li Mingyu: "Old Wei, did you read the first half of page three of the Immortal Codex?"

Wei Kun: "Really? Huh? How did you know! I think I read the third page, but I can't remember exactly."

Li Mingyu: "Then I guessed right. This feeling is very similar to the Immortal Scripture. You read the first half, and I read the second half, so we were able to come to this Immortal Scripture space."

Wei Kun stroked his sparse, ungrown beard and deliberately feigned profundity, saying, "Hmm, not bad, Little Li, I think so too!"

Li Mingyu: "Uh, okay, whatever makes you happy..."

Li Mingyu suddenly frowned slightly, noticing that one of the doors was particularly attractive, like a hazy summons.

"LeBron, isn't something acting strange?"

"Old Wei, you sensed it too?"

In a daze, the two of them appeared in front of two adjacent stone doors.

Subsequently, the two stone gates that had been used for debate dissolved and melted away like ink.

Behind the door was nothing; in front of it was only a gray-white shadow of the door of the same size, with two strange and unfamiliar characters on it, their gray light swirling around them.

Li Mingyu had seen this script in the Immortal Codex, but he didn't recognize it, so he looked at Wei Kun.

Wei Kun stared at the strange characters on the two gray-white door shadows, and a vague concept flooded his mind:

[To be executed.]

[Possession.]

……

Wei Kun stood there, stunned, feeling a sense of fullness filling his mind.

After a long while, Wei Kun felt that he was gradually understanding everything.

He held his head high and slowly floated to Li Mingyu's side, like a king returning home victorious from the battlefield, and laughed:

"Little Li, guess what I've learned?"

Li Mingyu watched Wei Kun's posture with great interest, deliberately remaining silent and simply observing him.

Seeing that his suspense had been ignored, Wei Kun said impatiently, "Hey, Little Li, don't you want to know what's behind the door?"

Li Mingyu: "Mmm, I want to know."

"Ugh, Li, if you want to know, just ask already... Okay, okay, I'll tell you, these doors are called Dharma doors."

"Moreover, it seems we both jointly own these techniques. I can activate the unlocked techniques, and as for you, you'll have to bear the effects of them. How about that, Little Li? From now on, all the techniques will have to defer to me, hahaha..."

"And also... that technique in front of you is called 'Severing Fate,' it's automatically activated, and it's said to be able to sever fate. As for the specific effects, uh... I'm not sure yet..."

"My method is called 'Possession.' I know it very well. It allows me to possess and bless you, increasing your cultivation level—maybe even...raising you by one realm. Impressive, right? Watch how cunning I am, haha..."

"Hmm, impressive, I won't look." Li Mingyu replied with a smile, then fell into thought:

"These methods were mastered by Wei Kun, and I benefited from them."

"No wonder... It's reasonable to deduce that the upper half of the third page of the Immortal Scripture that Wei Kun was reading was about activating techniques; while the lower half that I was reading was about receiving techniques. Combined, they form the Immortal Scripture space."

Li Mingyu thought of what his wife had said—that he had taken away one-third of someone's chance to attain enlightenment.

These methods sound very unusual; could this be the opportunity for enlightenment my wife was talking about...?

Currently, Li Mingyu does not know what his wife means by "attaining enlightenment".

But once this thought about his wife surfaced, he couldn't stop it.

His mind was filled with his wife's beautiful face, her gentle and sweet voice, and her constant companionship.

He had only been away from his wife for a short while, but he already felt like he had lost his sense of belonging, had no roots, and felt empty, like a hollow shell.

However, when he touched his "heart," he felt a sense of fulfillment.

He understood that the desires deep within him had not been extinguished, and his yearning for life had become even more fervent.

He knew where he belonged.

"I must live, I must live for my wife. Given time, I will surely return to her side."

As for these methods…

Perhaps the method my wife mentioned for returning to Earth is also related to these methods.

'It seems I need to unlock these methods as much as possible.'

Suddenly, a piercing "whoosh" sound came from all around the gray space.

That's the sound of the warehouse door opening.

"I can hear sounds from outside the space. Could it be that Wang Chen has returned?"

"The warehouse door is opening slowly; there's still time."

Li Mingyu sorted out his thoughts, looked around at the methods, then focused on Wei Kun and asked:

"Old Wei, it looks like Wang Chen is here outside. What do we say?"

Wei Kun kept examining the method, muttering to himself:

"What does Wang Chen have to do with me? Let him come if he wants. I still think these methods are more fun. Tell me, we can only unlock two doors now, how do we unlock the rest?"

Li Mingyu was not surprised at all by Wei Kun's change of topic, and then changed the subject by asking:

"Hey, Lao Wei, didn't you say you were in a hurry to go back to Earth and had a ton of things to do?"

It took Wei Kun a moment to realize what was happening before he exclaimed:

"That's really true... Sigh, I'm so busy, I still have to go back to Earth."

Seeing that he had successfully guided the conversation, Li Mingyu continued, "What have you been busy with?"

Wei Kun pondered for a few seconds, then his gaze suddenly hardened:

"I need to find my girlfriend."

Li Mingyu suddenly said with a serious expression, "Actually, you won't find her if you go back to Earth, because she's not on Earth; she's in Xuanling Heaven."

Wei Kun's eyes widened, and he instantly accepted Li Mingyu's improvised words:

"What? She's actually in Xuanling Heaven! So that's it. I was wondering why she disappeared into thin air; she also traveled here... Then, what should I do?"

Li Mingyu smiled and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, she's in Xuanling Heaven. But don't worry, I can travel through Xuanling Heaven for you and help you find her."

Wei Kun asked earnestly, "Is that really so kind of you?"

Li Mingyu raised his hand to touch the back of his neck, tilted his head slightly, and pressed a corner of his mouth to his lips:

"Of course, of course. Hey, we're buddies, you can trust me to get things done. I'll help you find your girlfriend, you just need to activate the magic and cooperate with me, simple, right?"

"Damn, my good brother, it's you again, Little Li! Once I find a girlfriend, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal with her." Wei Kun's loyalty was evident as he continued with great enthusiasm:

"Hey, Xiao Li, what's there to say? We're buddies now. From now on, whatever you say about this Dharma matter, I'll do it."

"Too temperamental," Li Mingyu laughed.

"We've been sharing the same pair of underwear for three years, so it's a given." Wei Kun couldn't help but feel pleased.

Seeing Wei Kun's unpredictable attitude, Li Mingyu became even more puzzled.

He had previously investigated Wei Kun indirectly through interpersonal relationships and friends and relatives on Earth.

Three years ago, Wei Kun was a successful and normal person, not the way he acts now.

Three years ago... Wei Kun's girlfriend also disappeared three years ago.

The two chatted briefly about their past relationship.

With a thought, Li Mingyu caused the gray space and thirteen stone doors around him to gradually fade away, revealing the dim warehouse environment once again.

Footsteps were slowly approaching, blocking their path.

Wei Kun stood to the side, a smile on his face, looking confident.

Li Mingyu picked up a fitter's hammer and stared in the direction from which the sound came.

From the darkness, a disheveled young man dressed in dark brocade robes gradually emerged. His hair was messy and he had a wild air about him.

His face was ferocious and crazed, and the dark green halo in his eyes almost overflowed, overshadowing the faint dark green moonlight outside the window.

A deep, almost roaring voice came:

"No wonder my destiny hasn't been fulfilled yet, Mingyu. You're really hard to kill. I've been so good to you in the past, why couldn't you just obediently listen to me and let me kill you?"
