I only want to win over the fairy.

Xuan Yuanmeng preferred Bai Yi to these guys.

Once Bai Yi has made up his mind about something, he will do his best to do it no matter what. He promised to help him solve the forbidden zone of life, so he will do everything he can, even if it costs him his life, to fulfill that promise.

Even without an agreement with oneself, the other party will inevitably choose to conquer the forbidden zone of life.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party did not cooperate with him. When he became the Human Emperor for the first time, he did not think about prolonging his life or severing his connection with the human race's fortune, or even devouring the human race's fortune. Instead, he chose to go to the forbidden zone of life to die without hesitation.

Bai Yi did indeed set a good precedent that time. The subsequent Human Emperors would always create a forbidden zone when their lives were coming to an end. Unfortunately, the Supreme Beings of the forbidden zones were not fools. Every time a Human Emperor was born, he would be killed by the Supreme Beings of the forbidden zones in advance. This marathon war, which was almost blood-spitting, only ended when the human race's fortune was exhausted.

Although the human race's fortune was almost exhausted, the ten forbidden zones of life were also nearly destroyed.

Cooperating with Bai Yi and fully supporting his development, concentrating his strongest power on him, would be the easiest way for him to do so. Unfortunately, this time he could only choose to take this extreme route.

Upon opening Bai Yi's character panel, the first thing that catches the eye is the large, scarlet characters following his name.

Name: Bai Yi (Ultimate Sickly)

This time, her own father was crippled on the spot, and the loss of his power and essence was so great that even she, the Heavenly Dao, was astonished.

It's a miracle you're still alive.

It's very difficult to make up for it, unless you kill Zi to restore Bai Yi's blood and essence. But the problem is, how could Bai Yi agree to kill someone he finally managed to save?

The thought that Bai Yi in real life would have to go through all this to save a puppet, and even lose her biggest trump card against the forbidden zone of life and the extraterrestrial demons, filled her with despair.

Unlike the despairing Xuan Yuanmeng, Bai Yi is now incredibly happy because he has discovered a completely new path of cultivation.

No, calling it a path of cultivation might be an oversimplification. Rather than a path of cultivation, this path is more like a new form of life evolution.

His physical body is now severely depleted, making it extremely difficult for him to move around. After trying many methods without success, he came up with a rather interesting path, a new path different from cultivating immortality!

Flesh and blood ache, machinery soars!

Since the physical body will suffer losses, wouldn't it be better to simply abandon the physical body, keep only the soul, upload one's own soul to the device for storage, and create a new, exclusive machine?

Realizing your physical body is flawed, you've abandoned trying to restore it. Instead, you've chosen to elevate your soul, attempting to create a mass-producible mechanical form to replace your physical body.

Unsurprisingly, you failed. Creating a mechanical body in one fell swoop was too difficult, so you settled for a less ideal solution and developed a life-sustaining device. This device could preserve your body with minimal damage. Feeling this wasn't enough, you began searching for information about the self-proclaimed supreme being of the forbidden zone.

When Guiming learned of your desire to become the Supreme One, he was quite surprised. After a moment's thought, he chose to tell you everything he knew, and even specially gifted you a small piece of immortal stone.

Gui Ming is really generous. Immortal stones are extremely precious, just like oil. Once you use a little, there's less left. However, unlike oil, their quantity is extremely limited. But like oil, they can attract a lot of trouble.

Oil breeds the US military, while immortal stones breed powerful beings seeking immortality and even supreme beings in forbidden zones.

However, Bai Yi could easily understand what Gui Ming was thinking. She probably thought that she had discovered that there was no hope of becoming an immortal in this era, so she planned to seal herself away and remain in the future. That was why she was helping him so much, just to get him to join her.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any thoughts about that at all.

The reason he wanted to fight in the Forbidden Zone was because these insects and vampires were too disgusting. They rode on the heads of all living beings in the Nine Provinces, harvesting people's lives like leeks, all for their so-called dream of becoming immortals. But if he eventually became the supreme ruler of the Forbidden Zone, what would be the point of fighting these guys?

Of course, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of my own weakness. Otherwise, with such little energy, even just strolling around Tianxuan Peak or taking a walk would completely deplete it. What else can I do?

Oh right, we can also do some rather special things with Zi.

Now, every day after he returns to his room with Zi's help, he inevitably goes into that kind of thing after she helps him take off his clothes, and then it's the next day.

Their lack of initiative makes it impossible to refuse, and they are even unable to avoid the other party if they want to.

Sigh, thankfully Azusa is small and doesn't put too much strain on me when she rides on my back, and her movements are gentle. Otherwise, with my weak physique, which is even worse than that of a sickly swordsman, I would have been drained to death by the students sooner or later, just like Sensi next door.

Chapter 144 You insulted my husband! I'm going to kill you!

Harmony between Daoist partners is of great importance.

Life's journey is long, and the path to immortality is fraught with thorns. Walking alone on this already difficult path is far too challenging, which is why one needs a like-minded companion to journey together. This companion can be a close friend, a lover, a master and disciple, or any other relationship.

A path that one person cannot persevere on, may find hope when two people support each other and move forward together.

This is the positive aspect.

However, if the two partners are not on good terms, then the so-called mutual support is a joke. Some so-called partners constantly exploit their other half, demanding that they do whatever they want with their partner, parasitizing them like parasites, and constantly stimulating their partner's nerves over trivial matters.

In the cultivation world, it's not uncommon for people to form Daoist couples to swindle money and resources. A common practice is for people to openly set their own prices under the guise of independence, increase their value, and then kick their partners to the curb after swindling a large amount of resources from them.

Fortunately, this kind of thing never happened to Bai Yi.

He firmly believed that the power of love is invincible!

He once relied on his powerful love and the power of his obsession to seize the authority of Heaven, defying the heavens to resurrect someone, and thus obtained the power of reincarnation.

Now, relying on the power of love and friendship, he has turned the impossible into possible and forcefully destroyed a powerful Supreme Guiming.

Therefore, the power of love is invincible! It can conquer all! It surpasses all! It reigns supreme over everything!

Love knows no bounds!

Regardless of what others say, Bai Yi agrees with this viewpoint. No matter what you tell me about being scientific, rule-abiding, or law-abiding, just say you don't understand love.

However, for now, it's better to focus on fixing our own shortcomings.

You began to devote all your energy to the research, but due to your poor physical condition and the fact that mechanical non-biological engineering is not something that can be accomplished overnight, you made no progress for a whole year.

[Upon learning of your thoughts, Gui Ming couldn't help but laugh at you. She thought your plan to abandon your body and transfer your consciousness into this piece of junk was incredibly foolish. "Hahaha! Did a donkey kick your head? What kind of crazy idea would you have to take such a crooked path! Integrating your body into this piece of junk, isn't that just turning yourself into a Dao soldier?"]

"No way, no way, someone wouldn't actually try to refine themselves into a Dao weapon just because they see no hope of recovery, would they? You're so pathetic, you're practically a nobody, hehe. You're not angry, are you? This is really funny. Why don't you give up being human, release my seal, and I'll find a place in Guiming Heaven to help you seal yourself up? That's not impossible~."

It was just a piece of text, but Bai Yi seemed to see an arrogant little devil standing in front of him, and even the voice was quite vivid.

You little brat! How could I, a grown man, succumb to such a suggestion?! How could I, in my honor, collude with you?!

This is no ordinary little brat; we must strike hard!

Facing the arrogant Gui Ming, you smiled at her, then rebuked her: "I thought you would have some insightful opinions, but instead you're just a female dog barking wildly. The mighty Emperor Gui Ming can only talk big now, even advising people to give up exploring the unknown. Such self-degrading behavior is truly despicable!"

[You harshly criticized several of Gui Ming's deepest sore points, and then ignored his reaction, leaving with your cane. Your defiant and assertive demeanor deeply wounded Gui Ming's heart. The more you acted like a virtuous and untainted spirit in this era, the more pain Gui Ming felt.]

Gui Ming's disgust and hatred towards you +10, and his respect, approval, and goodwill towards you +30.

Bai Yi was taken aback, looking at the simultaneous increase in both disgust and goodwill, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Gui Ming meant.

In the cultivation simulator, the stronger the aversion and hatred towards a person, the more extreme the subsequent actions will be towards that person, and the greater the attack power will be.

The higher the favorability and recognition, the more friendly the two will get along. The higher the favorability, the more often they will give you useful treasures when you meet. So, focus on cultivating the favorability of those with high favorability and deal with the dislike of those with high dislike as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming a nuisance.

But how come the favorability and hatred values ​​increase at the same time?

After much contemplation, Bai Yi concluded that Gui Ming might have been insulted by his harsh reprimand and wanted to kill him. However, this guy was also a masochist, the type who would get excited and happy when insulted or tortured.

That must be it!

You should know that there are quite a few people who feel elated by others' insults. First, there were anime fans who enjoyed being insulted by Kugimiya Rie, and then there were eggplant fans who chased after eggplants and shouted, "My husband is cursing me!" Maybe the happier you are with the insults, the more others will thank you.

Of course, this situation isn't always effective.

Gui Ming is, after all, a supreme being. If someone were to point fingers at her and brutally attack her in her pain, she would probably slap them to death in her extreme anger. But if she had already beaten the other person to the ground, imprisoned them, and restricted their power, then there wouldn't be so many problems.

This might even deepen her fear and respect for him, leading to boundless worship. When that worship reaches its peak, Gui Ming might chase after him shouting, "Bai Yi! I love you!! I love you as much as I love God!!!"

What hell, heaven, people?

Ever since you tortured me once, Guiming has become like a salted fish that has lost its dreams whenever he sees you. He doesn't dare to meet your gaze and becomes silent. You don't seem to care much about this and continue with your research.

[In February of the 1148th year of the Wanxian Calendar, the recently renowned True Phoenix Feather Palace Flower and the auspicious beast Bai Ze visited the Xuantian Sect and received extremely high regard and courtesy. Since the Xuantian Sect Master, Xiao Jinxuan, was in seclusion, you had to take over the position of Sect Master and go to receive them.]

Upon seeing Hanamichi Hana again after a long absence, you find that she hasn't changed much from how you remembered her. Only her hair has become slightly more reddish, and her fuller figure has become more vibrant. While radiating youthful energy, she also possesses an undeniable maternal warmth.

As you observe Yu Gonghua, Yu Gonghua is also observing you. Looking at your beautiful and delicate features, Yu Gonghua exclaims, "Just like your name, everything about you is imbued with an ethereal quality, like the pure and beautiful epiphyllum, captivating all who behold you."

Yu Gonghua stared wide-eyed at Bai Yi's appearance displayed on the simulator.

The young man's long black hair was tied into a single ponytail and draped over his left shoulder. His fair skin had lost some color due to his weakness, becoming pale. His slender, white fingers covered his lips, and he occasionally let out a few low, weak coughs. He exuded a delicate and fragile beauty that made her feel like a phoenix about to burst into flames.

Despite it being a simple outfit, Bai Yi's look at that moment was incredibly appealing to Yu Gonghua.

Her seemingly young body was filled with a deep sense of weakness and exhaustion, as if a ravaged adult was wearing the skin of a teenager. This stark contrast was truly irresistible, making her want to shout out loud—"I'm burning up! I'm burning up so much!"

A stubborn mouth might lie, but a stubborn phantom limb never lies!

This delicate, widow-like aura truly aroused her protective instincts, making her wish she could stuff all her phoenix fire into it!

Why is it that when they're both sickly and weak, Bai Yi makes you want to stuff all of your phoenix fire into her, while Bai Ze makes you want to punch her endlessly and beat her into a pulp?

"Hana, don't you think Bai Yi has a kind of indescribable aura? It's the kind of aura that seems normal at first glance, but once you think about it, it's incredibly alluring?" Bai Ze, who had also seen the illustration of Bai Yi, confided in Yu Gonghua: "Hmm... how should I put it... it's like a roast chicken that's both innocent and seductive."

"You fucking bastard! You insulted my husband! I'm going to kill you!"

In Yu Gonghua's eyes, Bai Yi was powerful, dazzling, sacred and inviolable, like the sun illuminating everything in the world. In her life, he was indeed like the sun, guiding her growth and giving her hope and a future. Not to mention that Bai Yi was also the father of her daughter, so she would not allow anyone to slander Bai Yi!

Even though she herself felt that what Bai Ze said was indeed true.

Although she didn't know why Bai Yi had become like a widow in such a short time, that didn't stop her from beating up her "good sister" beside her.

Ten minutes later, looking at Bai Ze, whose buttocks were swollen from her slap, lying on the ground with a face full of grief and indignation, carefully rubbing the wound while glaring angrily at her, Yu Gonghua felt a sudden sense of relief.

Anyone who insults Bai Yi will be brought to justice!

Under Bai Yi's guidance, you received a warm welcome at the Xuan Tian Sect. During the banquet, you watched Bai Yi holding chopsticks in one hand and covering his lips with the other, coughing softly. Instead of feeling sorry for him, you were quite moved.

Finding the other person incredibly charming, you seize the opportunity to offer to help heal their injuries. After receiving Bai Yi's consent, you take the chance to grasp their somewhat cold hand and channel a portion of your Phoenix Fire into their body.

[Strength assessment in progress... Your strength is at the peak of the Qian Yuan Realm, assessment failed.]

[Race determination in progress... Your race is Phoenix, determination successful.]

[You discovered that Bai Yi's physical essence was severely depleted, so severely that he should have been sentenced to death long ago. Only a special power, similar to yours, was protecting him and preventing his death.]

[You tried to use your own power to repair Bai Yi's severely depleted life force, but found that the power you poured in was like a stone thrown into the sea, completely ineffective. This made you realize that the other party was not lacking in life force, but that his lifespan was about to end. Under such circumstances, a mere amount of Phoenix Fire would be completely useless.]

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural laws of the universe. The phoenix fire can revitalize a life that is about to disappear, but it cannot have much effect on a life that is about to reach the end of its lifespan.

Even when the phoenix reaches the end of its life, it burns its remaining body to give birth to new life, rather than life that replenishes the remaining body, let alone humans.

What Bai Yi needs now is not a treasure to increase his vitality and restore his original nature, but a way to live a second life.

send!

Yu Gonghua initially thought that after Bai Yi's battle with the Supreme Being, he would at most suffer from excessive loss of life force. She reasoned that with a large supply of rare and precious herbs capable of restoring life force, he would be able to sustain himself. She planned to simply inject half of the Phoenix Flame into his body to revitalize him. However...

I painstakingly devised such a complete plan and came to you in person, and you tell me you're going to die?

"Hey, Bai Ze, do you know any way to help someone live a second life?"

Unable to figure out how to help Bai Yi through this difficult time, Yu Gonghua could only turn to Bai Ze for help. After all, the other party liked to call himself the Holy Spirit Goddess whenever he had nothing to do, so he had to be of some use.
