this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply a devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was he incredibly strong, but he was also ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was the invincible Nangong Qingshan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their conversation, it was clear that Li Jing had a higher status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell was this tough character they had just met?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most outrageous thing at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Li Jing knocking the monk down in his own Independent World in no time, to the point that the monk’s energy was so weak it was almost undetectable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sign of impending death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half-step Return to Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, it wasn’t easy to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no reason for someone to be beaten to this extent so easily either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Taoist and the barbarian woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them, one got knocked out, and the other got stunned by the Heavenly Punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, neither of them was seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former doesn’t need to be discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barbarian Woman was a physical cultivator and had a strong resistance to strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Punishment was indeed terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, it was controlled by humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was unclear how Li Jing managed to do it, but since it was human-controlled and not the will of Heaven, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn’t reach the level of the real world destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts indeed were so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hands of the will of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Punishment was more than just a physical strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could crush the origin of all things, even evaporating the God Soul, causing complete annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could not be changed by just cultivation level alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Jing held the rules of Heavenly Punishment, he was not the will of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in the Little Universe, he might have been able to fiddle with the rules a bit, but not outside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beaten monk in front of him scared the scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite alarming that the person was beaten up like this in his own Independent World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention half-step Return to Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a full-fledged Return to Origin would find it very difficult to destroy a half-step Return to Origin in an independent world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The significance of an independent world lies here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor Level being able to separate from the Venerable Realm and mark as a realm not considered as a realm, the essence lies in having an independent world and being different from all cultivators, which allows one to stand undefeated no matter what happens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Li Jing, a scholar’s heart filled with shock, he tried to maintain his calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you really? Can you tell me so I can have a clear understanding even in death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing noticed the scholar speaking first, opened his mouth with a hint of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t remember saying I would kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar’s face didn’t reveal anything upon hearing these words, but he was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t intend to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could fully relax, Li Jing murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if you can’t answer the doubts in my heart, you, as well as them, might end up worse than death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To reciprocate, let me answer your question first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded, saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Chen Tang City’s flunky, Li Jing. Not anyone important nor an insider, I just accidentally got involved in this game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tang City, the scholar naturally hadn’t heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had been laying low in Zhong Shen Zhou, and had only recently appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Eastern Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even heard much about the forces of Zhong Shen Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Li Jing was not involved but had accidentally entered the game, the scholar wasn’t surprised, hesitated for a moment and then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, there is no such thing as accidentally getting involved in this game. If you’re not involved but you’re in the game, there must be a connection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may not know, but this game was set up countless years ago by a great ability from the Upper Three Realms...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jing spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know why I started beating you guys as soon as we met?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar’s words were interrupted, prompting a question mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief stunned moment, he realised what was happening, and exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already knew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least, I already knew what you just said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing spoke indifferently, the corners of his mouth raising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I need to know more about the details now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing these words, the scholar fell silent for a moment, glanced at the three people who had fainted aside, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you are under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head. Since we have fallen into your hands, in order to stay alive and avoid abuse, I must reveal all that I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he coughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it possible to loosen the tie first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing liked this attitude of the scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t he understanding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon that thought, he waved his hand and released the vines that bound the scholar through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine was just bound normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar couldn’t struggle free because he had completely self-bound his cultivation level at the request of Nangong Qingshan, and he couldn’t lift the self-imposed restrictions in the short term. He was no different from an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Confucian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been an Orthodox Immortality Path, they wouldn’t be able to completely seal their cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they need to maintain the bare minimum spiritual qi for their body to function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confucianism is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the powerful righteousness they possess, it won’t be a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without their righteousness, they are just extremely weak ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obtaining the vine, Li Jing murmured with a question in his voice as he held it and observed it. Then, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t seem to be an ordinary vine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The item was definitely Nangong Qingshan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was not ordinary,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it could only be his...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and Earth Tree Vine!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, I got a lot for free in this transaction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he got a chance to celebrate, Chen Yuran broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nangong elder mentioned that this vine can be used to refine items, and also said that it’s quite suitable for me, can you help me refine it into a whip later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Nangong Qingshan didn’t forget to take his stuff back, he gave it to Chen Yuran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a bit awkward, isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not even begun to research on what this item would be useful for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it belonged to Chen Yuran, obviously he couldn’t ask for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll refine it when I have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran looked up and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar who had just been released was shaking. He got up, patted the dust off his body, and pulled over a bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I say you could sit down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he was thinking that even though you have untied me, can’t you let me sit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling speechless deep inside, the scholar gave a bitter smile and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, I’ve completely bound the righteousness within my body, making me no different from an ordinary person. I’m a real scholar, without my righteousness, I would find it hard to even kill a chicken. After being kept tied up and tossed to the ground for so long, it’s really...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the scholar complaining, Li Jing snorted and reluctantly waved his hand to signal him to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t help it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is somewhat pretentious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But knowing that he had completely sealed the righteousness in his body, Li Jing was a bit sympathetic to his predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>",3930,"2026-06-06T07:42:17.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","4646bfaca0591c72889756026d92de382e82da2a6194ee5a08f35bbbce91dd4a","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-612","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-610",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
