I have recently learned that when the Ancient Fairyland was destroyed, the Human Saints made a move, smashing the path to the Upper Three Realms and also breaking the rules of the Big World where one could advance to Return to Origin. Now she’s half-dead, it’s because she’s suffered a Taoist backlash. With the rules of the Big World missing, even if you, Zixuan sister, have found your own path, I fear it’s impossible for you to take this step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Li Jing’s account, Shi Zixuan’s face slightly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you get this news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From an insider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words \"insider\", Shi Zixuan paused, surprised,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where have you been recently? How did you run into an insider?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Shi Zixuan knew about the insider.

You casually strolled around Zhongzhou and encountered three insiders. It seems like it’s time; those old immortals hidden in the Immortal Realm can’t help but start making moves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Jing’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me more about this, Sister Zixuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Shi Zixuan’s response, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I came back, I visited the Donghua Immortal Palace and tried to find Xiang Dong for some information. However, the guy was selfish and wanted to keep everything for himself; he told me to wait for his update and said he would contact me if necessary. Sister Zixuan, you know me well, I hate being left behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to him, Shi Zixuan made a silent smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Li Jing hate being left behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a troublemaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always wanting to be the first to reap the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Shi Zixuan elaborated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the details, I’m not entirely sure. I have heard about insiders, mainly because every generation of Beiming Emperor must know and pay attention to this matter as instructed by the first Beiming Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Emperors should have some understanding of the insiders, he expected this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he thought it was because the Four Emperors had eyes and ears everywhere, nothing could slip past them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that, on Shi Zixuan’s side, this matter was regarded as one that every Beiming Emperor needed to know about and pay attention to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this order came from the first Beiming Emperor himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the case with Shi Zixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other three kings were likely dealing with it in the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to ponder some more, Shi Zixuan poured herself a cup of Clear-Heart Tea from a jade vial on the table and began to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the insiders, there isn’t much mentioned in the instructions of the first Beiming Emperor. Every generation of Beiming Emperors tried to investigate, but to no significant avail. What I can definitively tell you is that from the moment humans began migrating from the ancient fairyland to the Immortal Realm, figures of the Upper Three Realms had already started plotting without the knowledge of the Heavenly Path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, after so many years, the Heavenly Taoist of the Big World must already be aware of this. But now, as the situation has solidified, it can’t just casually interfere. Unless there are issues in the Big World that affect its normal operation, the Will of Heaven must not forcefully intervene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the ultimate goal of this plot, I am not sure. All I know is that it ties closely with the cycle of cause and effect emphasised in Buddhism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Shi Zixuan’s explanations, Li Jing’s eyebrows knitted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great figures of the Upper Realm deceived the Heavenly Path for their plots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be what the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist had hoped he could help with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t shown herself recently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to prevent certain incidents from happening, didn’t he already possess such power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing wasn’t getting carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the Big World, where rules are absent, there is hardly anyone who could rival him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speculating secretly, Li Jing looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this all you know, Sister Zixuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan nodded and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides this, I know nothing more. Anyway, this plot is enormous. If you can get involved, you will surely benefit. As for what kind of benefits, I reckon even Xiang Dong or Jin Ritian wouldn’t be able to give you a definitive answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this stage, the Immortal Realm hasn’t changed yet, indicating that it’s not yet the appropriate time to formally get involved. You can try to investigate first, but don’t act rashly. This is about a plot laid down by the greatest powers of the Upper Three Realms; if you act recklessly, you might attract their attention. If that ruins their plans, you might be targeted, and it might bring disaster if you ever get a chance to reach the Upper Three Realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Li Jing pondered and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to comment further, Shi Zixuan didn’t allow the conversation to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should be the first reason you came to see me, what’s the second thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan shifted the topic, indicating that she didn’t know any more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that she now belonged to Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She no longer thought of herself as the Beiming Emperor. If she knew more, she would have told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was understanding and didn’t push her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second matter is that I wanted to ask for your help, Sister Zixuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After uttering a sentence, Li Jing summoned Vila from the Little Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, she was about to join Ji Qing in a game inside the Little Universe, and the next, she was pulled out.

She is ambitious to reign supreme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Vila was the head of the Heavenly Net Sect, Shi Zixuan’s expression had already begun to turn strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before turning into a living dead due to the Immortal Medicine, she was a genuine inhabitant of the Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even traveled all over the world in her early years, becoming familiar with various cultivation systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Net Sect in the Daoji Field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had she heard of it, but she had also made contact with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-level elf had become the head of the Heavenly Net Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was doubtlessly a sign of that old sly fox, Kalan, stirring up trouble in the Eastern Immortal Domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When hearing Vila’s declaration of pulling down Xiang Dong as one of the seven supreme members of the Greedy Wolf, Shi Zixuan’s expression became even more interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Xiang Dong know that he has such a master in the Eastern Immortal Domain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t know before, but now he does.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing replied calmly, then gave a subtle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I went to Zhong Shen Zhou for this matter, and incidentally, I visited the West Earth Saint Hall with him, and then I took half of the current resources of the West Earth Saint Hall as hush money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the former Beiming Emperor, and the other was simply a person from the West Earth Saint Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both understood what half of the current resources of the West Earth Saint Hall meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hush money was kind of awesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Vila was left dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, who could be discarded by Kalan at any time, could actually be worth so much...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was standing dumbstruck, Li Jing waved off the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not talk about these trivial matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then smiled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Zixuan, I originally planned to incorporate the Greedy Wolf under my command through Vila, but I had to worry about insiders and couldn’t focus on it. Could you help me with this task?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Incorporate the Greedy Wolf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan blinked her eyes and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you trying to do? Rebel? Plot a rebellion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smacked his lips and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look like such a boring person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan looked him in the eyes and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, you don’t seem like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing couldn’t help laughing, and then he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I initially planned to see if the Greedy Wolf had any benefits worth taking advantage of. But now I’ve changed my mind. I’m currently short of manpower in Chen Tang City, so I want to genuinely incorporate the Greedy Wolf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shi Zixuan frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand your logic, but why must you incorporate such a force that’s always thinking about rebellion? Letting them join Chen Tang City...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish speaking, Li Jing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think I mentioned letting them join Chen Tang City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what it means to be an X slave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need them to willingly serve me, but I want to control them, to fill them with fear from the bottom of their hearts so they will obediently be my workers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing stated flatly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I won’t skimp on their wages. The work they have to do will just be a little more grueling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he gave a meaningful laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a minor task like this, Sister Zixuan, you should be capable of handling it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zixuan was silent for a moment, then complained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you asking me to be the big villain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could respond, she exhaled a breath and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I’ll help you with this matter. Since I learned about the missing rules of the Big World from you, it’s pointless for me to keep secluding myself. It’d be good to go out for a stroll.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, she rolled up her sleeves to reveal her snow-white arm, flexed her non-existent biceps, and gave a teeth-baring smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, even though I’m no longer a living dead nor the Beiming Emperor, using violence to spread fear is my strong suit. Back in the Beiming Immortal Domain, which of those dead objects didn’t tremble with fear upon seeing me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing laughed without commenting, and simply nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the seven supreme members of the Greedy Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was indeed once quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these two people in front of her decided the fate of the entire Greedy Wolf with just a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should she tremble with fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rejoice that she is one step ahead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",3652,"2026-06-06T07:41:59.994Z",1,"novelbin.me","b5c3fc380f1538d2881c24f1803a23c69097c2935a6613300a5a024e83926c32","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-501","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-599",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
