What I didn’t expect was that within just seven or eight days, he reached the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Li Ming’s view of the little boy completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the seventh level of Body Refinement Realm in just seven or eight days—averaging one realm a day—was almost unbelievable. And the key point was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child’s physique had been destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been, no one could imagine how fast his cultivation speed would have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just the beginning. What comes next might exceed your expectations,\" Li Xun said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little boy before him has the Immortal Body. Fast cultivation was merely the tip of the iceberg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everything went as expected, this child might one day pioneer a brand-new cultivation system. When that time came, it wouldn’t just be the Li Family who would be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Li Xun couldn’t be certain about, however, was whether this boy could rise against all odds like the Emperor he once knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that Emperor had the guidance of a divine willow tree in his early years—a presence crucial to his rise to power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boy, however, had no such guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His path would inevitably be full of detours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he could ultimately reach the heights of the Emperor was something Li Xun didn’t dare to predict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun’er, you seem to have a lot of faith in this child,\" Li Wuyou said meaningfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days ago, he and his wife had been keeping this child alive through sheer effort, sustaining him for over a month. They had been physically and mentally exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Xun fed the child a Heaven Creation Pill, they hadn’t thought much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon reflection, they realized something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xun seemed to have known the child’s condition in advance and, without even examining the injuries, had immediately given him the pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was highly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hasn’t his uniqueness already become evident?\" Li Xun deflected with a question instead of an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" Li Wuyou shook his head. \"If you don’t want to say more, I won’t press you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Brother, you saved me, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little boy ran up to Li Xun, tilting his head back to gaze at him with sparkling, black gemstone-like eyes filled with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right,\" Li Xun replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the confirmation, the boy thought for a moment, then removed a jade pendant from his neck. Standing on tiptoe, he offered it to Li Xun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Brother, this is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A jade pendant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xun took it casually and examined it but saw nothing special about it. It seemed to be just an identity token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This pendant is of no use to me. If you truly want to help me, cultivate well. Maybe one day, you’ll be able to repay me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he hung the pendant back around the boy’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I’ll definitely work hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This child is lucky,\" Li Wuyou said with a hearty laugh. \"He was on the verge of death, but fortunately, you returned in time. If you had been any later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, a sudden change occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squawk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp phoenix cry echoed across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, a crimson divine phoenix appeared, bathed in raging divine flames that radiated endless brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenix swooped down from the distant horizon, crashing directly into the protective formation of Tianyuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion shook the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying impact caused the entire city to quake. The ground cracked open, countless buildings collapsed, and many ordinary people were instantly reduced to blood mist without even a scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the formation absorbing most of the impact, the destruction would have been unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Tianyuan City suffered heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, tens of thousands of lives were lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life and Death Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wuyou’s face darkened as he looked toward the sky with a grave expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the horizon, several towering figures slowly approached. Each of them was as imposing as a mountain, their presence oppressive enough to crush the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they walked leisurely, their speed was astonishing, and within a few steps, they arrived above Tianyuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overlooking the countless lives below, their eyes held nothing but cold indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, slaughtering a group of ordinary people was as insignificant as crushing ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Lord of this City, come out and answer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five figures stood in the sky, and the one who spoke was a young man at the forefront. His expression was arrogant, filled with an air of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being the weakest among the five, with a peak Divine Power Realm cultivation, he exuded an overwhelming presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are these people? How dare they act so arrogantly in the Great Zhou Empire’s territory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t it possible that they don’t fear the Great Zhou Empire at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They killed tens of thousands in an instant—so ruthless. And demanding the city lord to personally answer them right off the bat? It’s clear they’re not ordinary individuals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four Life and Death Realm experts and one peak Divine Power Realm cultivator... If this isn’t handled properly, it could spell doom for Tianyuan City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Tianyuan City, fear spread like wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While many resented the cruelty of the five intruders, none dared to voice their anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city had no way of mustering four Life and Death Realm experts to counter them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city lord was one, and the Li Family supposedly had three. However, the former Family Head had been in seclusion for years, his life or death unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Tianyuan City with, at most, three visible Life and Death Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such dire straits, Tianyuan City’s chances of resistance were virtually nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving residents silently prayed that the city lord wouldn’t provoke the intruders further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst countless nervous gazes, a rotund man in luxurious robes stepped into the air. His face carried a bitter smile as he cautiously bowed before the five figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask, esteemed sirs, what brings you here today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city lord’s heart was filled with indignation. His citizens had been massacred, yet he had to greet their killers with a forced smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was humiliating beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the intruders were far too powerful to provoke, and reinforcements from the Great Zhou Empire would not arrive in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, he could only swallow his pride and seek to placate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to see more of this story and don’t mind paying $5 each month to read the latest post, please go to myPatreon1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Chapter in Patreon:Chapter 208: Young Friend, How Do You Intend to Deal with This Man?1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Link to the current Chapter:https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002Fposts\u002Fi-thanks-to-my-1323931381\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002Fc\u002FHannibalNotBarca\u002Fposts?filters%5Btag%5D=I+Thanks+To+My+Unlimited1\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-09T06:00:56.893Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a103df6735fef1ea580a7d6737185a07108a2129764403dae447b1bffc45421","i-thanks-to-my-unlimited-investment-am-admired-b-chapter-121","i-thanks-to-my-unlimited-investment-am-admired-b-chapter-119",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-thanks-to-my-unlimited-investment-am-admired-b-cover.jpg"]
