often say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their mouths, of course, it’s just idle talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Xiaoyao Zi, it is a completely different concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the secrets of heaven and deducing the secrets of heaven are two different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price to pay is much more serious than deduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time he deduced about Li Jing, he almost died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Jing is a bit special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is essentially a part of the many arrangements made by the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he used to be the least favored, even forgotten, he is still connected to the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to calculate his other aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s arguably feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculate his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That equates to calculating the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severity of the consequences, needless to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at present, it’s even more serious than when he previously deduced Li Jing’s background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means he is dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the flesh turning to stone is to cut off all possibilities of his rebirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is a dead object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you hold the miraculous Immortal Medicine for revival in your hands, how can a dead object possibly be reborn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xiaoyao Zi’s petrification is completed at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it would really be beyond the power of gods to save him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai also realizes the severity of the situation, and at this moment she is exerting her full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would absolutely not need to stand on Xiaoyao Zi’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit of Origin as the origin of all lives, in essence, is a living being interwoven with thousands of life rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close contact with it can yield no small benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, such benefits are not overly conspicuous and gradually take effect through subtle influences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when contact occurs can the power of the Spirit of Origin be maximized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of Xiaocai’s full exertion, surrounded by the majestic life force that is causing the space to tremble, Li Jing felt a chill in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hates riddles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to be fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t dislike this somewhat greedy and somewhat lecherous old swindler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Xiaocai’s efforts, the trend of Xiaoyao’s body turning to stone was successfully restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petrified parts also gradually recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the life force inside him never shows signs of resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This swindling fortune teller can’t be dead just like that, can he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling somewhat panicked, Li Jing raises his hand and transforms several seals, setting up an Eternal Reincarnation for this elegant seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion caused by Xiaocai exerting her full strength was a bit too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous amount of life force gathered, not only disturbing the other people in the tavern, but also attracting a lot of divine consciousness from outside trying to peek through the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter must be prevented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, more than three hours passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these torturous three hours, there were gradual signs of the life force in Xiaoyao Zi’s body reviving, but poor Xiaocai was already exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the little guy is still holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Spirit of Origin extremely dislikes those who walk the path of fortune-telling, they are all inherently kind-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their naturally pure nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They always keep their word and do as they say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never deceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor do they go back on their word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, another half an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life force within Xiaoyao Zi finally revived completely and he slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai also showed a relieved smile, and with a flutter of her butterfly wings, she seemed to be about to \"crash\" at any moment, swaying away from Xiaoyao Zi’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing quickly reached out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai gracefully landed in his palm and yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You promised seven Hundred Year Fruits. If one is missing, I’ll be upset with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the naive words, Li Jing felt a pang in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit of Origin is really too naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only wants seven Hundred Year Fruits which only matter to those who have not embarked on the path of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting Xiaocai on his shoulder with a reversal, Li Jing said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there are fewer than seven, I’ll give you seventy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xiaocai paused, seemingly tired one second and spirited the next .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you serious!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When have I ever lied to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Xiaocai was overjoyed, impatiently chiming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When will you ’deliver’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll give it to you shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing voiced reassuringly, then turned his gaze to Xiaoyao Zi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, Xiaoyao Zi was struggling to get up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting his gaze, Xiaoyao Zi gave a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I was really close to being done for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to speak, Xiaoyao Zi looked at Xiaocai on Li Jing’s shoulder and bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am grateful to Miss Xiaocai for saving my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiaocai could respond, Xiaoyao Zi spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Sect Leader, if one day you find the Immortal Medicine I mentioned, try looking around. Theoretically, things like this affect the surrounding environment and produce some unusual Spirit Fruits. Among them is a Divine Medicine called Zhenlong, which is not only beneficial to reviving humans and regenerating flesh and bones, but it is also a great nourishment for The Spirit of Origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Xiaoyao Zi vomited several liters of blood on the spot, then looked up and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it can even provide the Spirit of Origin with an opportunity for further metamorphosis. But it really depends on luck, after all, the Divine Medicine, Zhenlong, merely has the effect of inducing transformation. Whether it can truly transform depends ultimately on the readiness of the Spirit of Origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said all this, Xiaoyao Zi gave a respectful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve said all there is to say. Li Sect Leader, until we meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he vomited another several liters of blood, then his body twisted strangely and he disappeared from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing frowned at this sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just left like that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he really a brave man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t he need Xiaocai to surge him up again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai was also a little concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She may appear ditsy all day long, but she wasn’t really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message \"bestowed\" by Xiaoyao Zi at the end was clearly a way to repay her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost of this message could not compare to the Immortal Medicine that was capable of saving a Human Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had mentioned the corresponding message once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of revealing such a secret would diminish significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiaoyao Zi had spoken out some things he shouldn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For people like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important thing is not to speak out things you shouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking straight up at Li Jing, Xiaocai spoke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will that old Taoist ... be alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Li Jing shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He should be fine, the charlatan values his life a lot. If he was really dying, he wouldn’t just leave like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Li Jing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaocai, have you ever heard of Zhenlong, the Divine Medicine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai shook her head and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not to mention the Zhenlong Divine Medicine mentioned by the old Taoist, I didn’t even know there were things in this world that could induce metamorphosis in the Spirit of Origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded his head and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I finish what I’m dealing with, I’ll go look for the Immortal Medicine that can awaken the Saint. At that time, I’ll keep an eye out for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai obediently responded, then gave a sweet smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Jing, you’re so good to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing laughed on hearing this and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go back and rest. The Hundred Year Fruit is placed next to your nest, enjoy it well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xiaocai’s bright eyes instantly lit up and she eagerly started drooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up! Let me into the Little Universe! Don’t let Ling Ling wake up and snatch it from me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Ling has been quiet for over a hundred years, how can she just wake up on demand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he hoped that Ling Ling could wake up soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still looking forward to traveling to the Supreme God Domain, seeing how Wina was doing, and incidentally \"visiting\" the Ancestor God of Light who had helped him a hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Ling Ling remained still and no one led the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he sent Xiaocai back and Li Jing dispelled the Eternal Reincarnation, activating the Silent Shadow integrated within the soaring, and left the grand chair, descending to the outside of the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the tavern at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in secret, many people were watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some were pretending to pass by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Yiqing, bruised and battered, was acting extremely humble, standing by Aman like a little wife. While pretending to look at clothes in a shop across the street, they were actually paying attention to the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monk was rather arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had put on his kasaya robe and brought along his alms bowl, standing brazenly in front of the tavern begging for alms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taoist man did not appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s probably still in the Ascending Heaven Tower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head to look in the direction of the Ascending Heaven Tower, Li Jing hesitated for a moment but did not go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiaoyao Zi should have gone to the Ascension Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the one he is truly waiting for is not him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to Ascension Tower might allow him to meet the one destined to face the tribulation earlier and see who that person is, but there’s no need to be so deliberate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time comes, he will naturally encounter them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of fate destined by heaven doesn’t belong to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to look at the tavern, Li Jing pondered for a moment and waved his hand, casting a spell of Chaos Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind and clouds changed their colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud \"rumble\", a fiery thunder spelled out the character \"Jiu\" in mid-air above the tavern, and it lingered for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who put out the news to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not know at this moment that he is in Haoran City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eternal Reincarnation that appeared in the tavern just a moment ago might be the reason that person got the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Jing doesn’t want to wait too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has a bit too much on his plate next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Tribulation won’t arrive that quickly; before that, he might consider changing the fate decreed by destiny, and contact the person destined to face the tribulation earlier by having them look for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as he promised Xiaoyao Zi, he will let that person face their own destiny head on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will embark on a journey to find the Immortal Medicine that can heal the wounds of the Human Taoist Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Realm is where everything is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a great calamity descends upon the Immortal Realm, he will know at the first moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the thunder mark of Jiu in the air, Li Jing closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person looking for him at this moment must be paying attention to the situation of the tavern, but they may not show up near the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have a reason for secretly releasing the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party is smart enough, seeing the thunder mark should make them realize that he has anticipated their deliberate search for him and intentionally wants to meet with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this realization, they will most likely send out some signals to attract his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunder mark of Jiu that appeared in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caused an uproar in Haoran City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many insiders who came to the scene to snoop turned and left without a word. The secret observers also retreated their primordial spirit senses at the first moment and fell completely silent as if they were afraid that someone would trace them back through the \"line\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary cultivators who were not insiders were shocked when they saw the thunder mark of Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only belong to that supreme being of the Immortal Realm in the legends, Empress Jiuli!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had felt that something was wrong before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was so capable that they could overwhelm everyone in Haoran City with a sky full of heavenly fire, making them all despair while also suppressing all the insiders, not letting them fart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that the legendary figure of today’s Immortal Realm had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, many cultivators who didn’t know the meaning of death flew to the tavern, hoping they might have the luck to see the elegance of the Empress, which hadn’t been seen by anyone for a hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empress Jiuli’s true form is a Thousand-faced fox demon, charming all beings and ever changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know whether it was true or false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But alas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were destined to be disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Jing just stood there, no one of their capabilities could catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he did not take the form of the fox demon Jiuli at this moment, but had transformed into a Taoist Master...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting all these aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a series of turbulence, Li Jing released his Divine Sense and made careful observations. He finally caught a whiff of the familiar Demonic Qi in the far west of Haoran City, which then quickly faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half-demon, Kong Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled and opened his eyes.

He quickly spotted a stooped figure in a nearby field, its head tagged with a Health Bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many people around to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among them, someone had a Health Bar on their head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How conspicuous could that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Health Bar showed 19498.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Essence Source number showed more than 40 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This data perfectly matched with when Li Jing saw Kong Zhi years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Realm’s rules are still missing, and there has not been any restoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It makes sense that his progress in these hundred years has been none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leisurely walking up to Kong Zhi, who was pretending to farm, Li Jing tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had changed his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he had the face of an honest middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhi was very sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the effect of Silent Shadow, he failed to perceive Li Jing approaching closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being half a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any interference around, he could easily sense a new smell that was previously absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nose crinkled in suspicion, he glanced warily in every direction, lowering his voice in attempt to call out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Master!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t continue to conceal himself upon hearing the call, he removed the effect of Silent Shadow on him alone, revealing his figure. Smiling, he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your nose is indeed keen to smell my presence the moment I arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing appear, Kong Zhi was surprised to find him right in front of himself. Upon studying him for a moment, a smile broke across his face, like a long-lost friend reuniting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You tricked me a hundred years ago, delayed my long cherished wish, and now you won’t even let my nose do its job?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his expression became odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I call you Taoist Master now, or should I call you Master Jiu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled lightly, responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both Taoist Master and Master Jiu are me, but essentially they are not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Jing’s words, Kong Zhi was somewhat taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was relatively quick-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing what Li Jing said, he instantly comprehended that the famous Master Jiu was nothing more than an alias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was totally beyond Kong Zhi’s expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand-faced fox demon, with innumerable disguises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not surprising or illogical that Li Jing would have any sort of false identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only the identity of the fox demon... couldn’t be false...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring intently at Li Jing, Kong Zhi realized he wasn’t trying to fool him and said in surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, you indeed have great skills. It seems that in the past hundred years, everyone in the Immortal Realm has been deceived by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guilty as charged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled with a bashful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Kong Zhi responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ditch the pretense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Kong Zhi’s words, Li Jing’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he not know how to write the word ’death’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still hesitating whether to take matters to an extreme, Kong Zhi started talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finding Master Jiu like you is not easy. This is not a place to discuss. Let’s change our location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, as Li Jing reluctantly replied, he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to find me, all you need to do is go to Chen Tang City. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard that I’m behind Chen Tang City after all these years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I’ve heard such news. But for one hundred years, you didn’t show your face. Who knows if you were there or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responding indifferently, Kong Zhi collected his farming tools, turned around to lead the way, and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, over the years, there have been a lot of people who wanted to try to test Chen Tang City. Either they lost contact overnight, or they were violently suppressed from all levels. Whether Chen Tang City is your territory or not, it has always been a force that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing Kong Zhi’s words, Li Jing couldn’t help but feel smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was him who established Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he’s certainly a hands-off manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had put in a lot of efforts for its development as it is today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no point in encircling the topic around Chen Tang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving his hand to release some Chaos Qi, Li Jing commanded the Silent Shadow to take effect on Kong Zhi too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we were to talk about cultivation level-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing has not made progress in the past hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in other aspects, he had developed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silent Shadow, once only effective on him and the things he touched, could now affect others around him like a small-scale prohibitive enchantment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the other party doesn’t engage in behavior that is too extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how far they go, the Silent Shadow will continue until the Chaos Qi he used to set it up runs out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhi wasn’t an ignorant person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know what Li Jing did to him, he overwhelmingly felt that his existence had been subjected to a powerful cognitive interference, making it impossible for anyone to notice him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he couldn’t even perceive himself...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silent Shadow that Li Jing cast corresponds to his own Primordial Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Spirit of the Immortal King Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhi was hardly qualified to sense that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, he turned his head around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhi was about to speak, but Li Jing beat him to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get straight to the point. Why did you so carefully hide yourself in Haoran City, and then go to great lengths to come and find me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this straightforward question, Kong Zhi didn’t hesitate, and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I happened to meet someone from the Upper Three Realms in Zhongzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Li Jing momentarily stopped walking, responded in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, someone from the Upper Three Realms really came down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Undeniably, and if there’s one, there must be more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhi answered, and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know when it started precisely, but the one I encountered seems to be secretly using his gradually increasing influence to search for an object capable of destroying the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",3506,"2026-06-06T07:42:17.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","8265206cd1f6a65940dc63dbcefd70a8379972995b0a3246469028da60b58c3e","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-637","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-635",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
