for a moment, then raised his right hand, gently tapping his fingertips in the air, followed by all five fingers together tapping the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, twice, thrice.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s eyes were drawn to that fair hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, they were firmly captivated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man tapped faster and faster, faster and faster, each time his fingertips touched the air, they didn’t make a sound,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but indeed, ripples visible to the naked eye spread out in the air!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a small stone was thrown into a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five ripples continually dispersed, with the rhythm of the five fingers, the ripples interfered with each other, collided, intertwined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five fingers suddenly came together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making a knocking gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle knock on the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tok!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound that only the alley people could hear echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the old tricksters was left dumbfounded, like lost souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones still sober were the three elders in the Beheading Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician clutched a silver coin, stepping back several steps, the Gambler stood up, two decks of cards leaping between his hands,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Juggler Master squinted, a monkey jumped onto his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three unknowingly stood together, the Magician slightly tilted his hat, looking solemn:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From where did you learn such soul-disturbing, mind-chaotic techniques??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the young man give a shy smile, pointing behind at the path of bluestone he walked on, and the strange symbols on the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just learned it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng said honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that his enlightenment had improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather, after spiritually breaking the millennial limit, he seemed extremely sensitive to matters of spirit and soul,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and those mesmerizing tricks on the bluestone, the soul-capturing methods within the strange symbols,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were seen through cleanly by him in an instant—they were simply methods of interfering with the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng could do better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Learned.....\" The three elders were startled, the Magician and the Gambler simultaneously glanced at the Juggler Master with a monkey on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the stone slabs and symbols were his arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was somewhat interested, examining the monkey-playing old man:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re quite impressive, later, you’ll come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an undeniable tone in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gambler sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, this is the waiting area.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man didn’t pay attention to him, the five fingers once again leaped and played in the air, he didn’t use his spiritual will,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>relying purely on ’technique’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples were struck out from the air by his fingertips, the ripples seemed to contain a unique rhythm, silently spreading across the entire Beheading Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who were obsessed, dazed, and disheartened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>turned woodenly, staring woodenly at the card-playing Gambler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was both bizarre and horrifying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even the Gambler involuntarily felt his hair stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted, the monkey on his shoulder also screeched shrilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those disheartened people seemed about to awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t kill, can’t take life, then break the hands and feet, throw him out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly flicked, the silver coin in his hand traced a graceful arc, leaping above the young man’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver coin fell heavily, carrying fierce Qi Blood Smoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver coin struck the ground, creating a deep pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler shouted in alarm, the Magician sensed something was wrong, suddenly pressing his hat, the Gambler next to him swung, the playing cards tore through the air, nailing densely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All nailed to the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three stood back to back, warily scanning the surroundings, large beads of sweat forming on their foreheads,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the monkey suddenly shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler opened his mouth, spitting out blazing white light, fiercely hitting the young man who appeared suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hiss!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was enveloped by the terrifying white light, torn apart, evaporating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why so weak??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler’s expression changed drastically, his hair standing on end, staring at the blood mist formed by the vaporized frail youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered hoarsely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I killed someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Violated the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the council building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Muniu suddenly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a rule against killing in the waiting area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli nodded decisively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once someone dies and their soul disperses, we will detect it immediately..... what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cancel that rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Muniu glanced at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, every morning from eight to nine, killing is no longer prohibited in the waiting area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place should not become a haven for corruption, nor a refuge for some people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli was stunned for a moment, silently nodding, Housekeeper Zhao next to him quickly drafted a new regulation, respectfully handing it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Muniu signed his name on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, from that moment on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new regulation came into effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copies of statutes and documents were swiftly published on the Divine Net, pushed to everyone’s account in the waiting area,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the Public Security Bureau and council guards in the area received the new laws,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire waiting area fell silent for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then it was uproarious, it was boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Muniu put down the pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden Legislator.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, with a meaningful tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Youwei touched his bulging belly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m full, how about you guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Full!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stuffed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixth and the girl nodded in satisfaction, the former laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Scatterbrain should be back too, let’s go, early in the morning, let’s hit Louis Street for a couple of jobs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three youths laughed heartily, walking back to the big iron gate leading to Beheading Alley, before pushing the door, their phones vibrated simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They picked them up to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Murder...restriction lifted??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man and woman swallowed involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Youwei’s face lit up with excitement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a good thing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said happily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, when that little Immortal Yu performs, it can be grander, best if timed around eight in the morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixth also rubbed his hands in anticipation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, right, if they don’t pay enough, just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dragged a finger across his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu opened a bubble gum, popped it into her mouth, and while chewing, frowned and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this really a good thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t forget, this means others can kill us too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two youngsters were stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu casually pushed open the big iron door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked into Beheading Alley, but simultaneously stopped in their tracks, bewildered by the scene ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the alley, a group of old swindlers stood in place, lost, wooden, and stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three elder masters stood back-to-back together, and further away, a frail young man let his fingers dance lightly in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the elder masters, who were vigilantly looking around, seemed oblivious to the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They, like the other swindlers, were lost and listless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey on the Juggler Master’s shoulder screeched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler Master opened his mouth and a blazing white light shot out, evaporating a swindler into blood mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why so weak??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler Master spoke hoarsely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve killed... broken the law!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s fingers kept dancing in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu blew a bubble with her gum, watching it grow larger and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the Juggler Master roaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician and the Gambler also stepped aside quickly, one shouting there, the other hurling cards infused with intense qi and blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three who had backed each other were suddenly face-to-face again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician howled, piercing the Gambler’s chest, the Gambler roared, throwing cards that sliced the Juggler Master’s body,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Juggler Master opened his mouth and a blazing white light engulfed the Magician, evaporating half his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining half collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frail young man’s fingers paused slightly in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peculiar rhythm ceased here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler Master’s murky eyes cleared up, bewilderedly looking at the vanished Magician and the Gambler with a shattered heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then lowered his head, examining the hundreds of cards embedded in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When... did this happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from the Juggler Master’s mouth, and the monkey on his shoulder screamed in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu heard the frail young man lightly praising:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply relying on a special rhythm to interfere to such an extent, remarkable, truly remarkable.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler Master spat out another mouthful of black blood, his lips trembled, his face turned horrified:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible, impossible.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A millennial...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slumped to the ground, the monkey broke free from its leash, shrieking as it fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pop!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu’s bubble gum burst at that moment, sticking to her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw the terrifying young man snap his fingers, each swindler fainted to the ground,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From them, something vague and indistinct was forcibly drawn out by the snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, they were all just residual souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy looked at the three with curiosity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you the ones who sold me the fake plaque?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minds of the three went blank, their scalps tingled, and chills ran down their spines!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Youwei turned to flee, crying for help, ran out the iron gate, then crashed heavily into a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some unknown point, the iron gate had turned into the damp wall of Beheading Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This horrifying scene scared him so much that he staggered back, collapsed to the ground, and turned to see that everywhere led to the iron gate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing over, running, only to crash into the damp wall again and again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was accompanied by a scolding voice from above the Celestial Vault, seemingly omnipresent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Youwei felt the world spinning, the scenery before him suddenly blurred, the fuzzy colors gradually spread,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until everything became clear once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still by the iron gate, beside him were the Sixth and Yu, and when he looked toward Beheading Alley, the frail young man stood in the distance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gambler sat on the ground, hands holding cards, the Juggler Master hung his head, a small monkey cradled in his arms,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician had not evaporated, he still leaned against the wall, with his hat brim lowered, but when did the silver coin in his hand roll onto the ground?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other swindlers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still in their original positions as when they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all remained motionless, their breathing continued, their hearts still beat, it’s just...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their souls seemed to be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, Zhang Fusheng merely tapped the new rhythm he learned at the mouth of the alley,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without using even a trace of Spiritual Thoughts, purely relying on special rhythms and his newly attained ’Millennial Position’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove the souls of over a hundred people in the alley, creating nested, seemingly real spiritual illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three elder masters and each swindler thought they put up a resistance, only to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, from start to finish, not a single one of them moved at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spiritual Will.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng whispered in admiration, clenching his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician who wasn’t hit by the white light still evaporated halfway, the Gambler whose heart wasn’t shattered still had a fragmented heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juggler Master who wasn’t pierced by cards still manifested numerous sharp blood-lined cuts on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injuries they sustained in the illusion were reflected in their physical reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After surpassing the Millennium Hurdle, Zhang Fusheng didn’t need to employ his vast Divine Thought like an ocean,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely tapping fingers could interfere with and control others’ senses, even.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>turn the injuries they believed into reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the power belonging to the Innate Realm, the formidable power of Spiritual Limit Breaking, [It was always like this]—Though I haven’t broken the Spiritual Limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet, I am a Thousand-Year Refining Spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng fully comprehended that his current self, in terms of the Spirit Realm, had not broken the limit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of surpassing the Millennium Hurdle, the gap between himself and breaking the limit is akin to the gap between Perfection and Minor Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his soul, his spirit, his will—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had fundamentally, transcended a [Life Level] beyond the common populace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a change in Position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s always been breaking limits first, then breaking the Millennium Hurdle—and I, did it the other way around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t broken the Spiritual Limit, not stepping into Innate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my Contemplation Realm, has already reached the level of [It was always like this]...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast Spiritual Will behind Zhang Fusheng materialized, turning into a Sea of Spirit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three young ones unconsciously prostrated themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if in
