"I told you before, use your sword skill 'Soul Severance' less often," Lao Liu said.
"I remember, but what does that have to do with what the dean told us about not rushing to break through to the Nirvana Realm?" Li Beifei asked.
"Of course there's a connection. The Nirvana Realm is called Nirvana because when you break through to this realm, it's like a phoenix undergoing Nirvana and being reborn, allowing the physical body and soul to merge. You also get a chance to reshape your physical body!"
"Reshape the physical body?" Li Beifei asked, puzzled.
"Reshaping the physical body allows it to become more perfect and powerful," Lao Liu explained.
"Reshaping the physical body shouldn't be that simple, right?" Li Beifei asked. He had encountered Nirvana Realm experts before, but he didn't feel the powerful sensation Lao Liu described after reshaping the body.
"You're not completely stupid!" Lao Liu mocked.
"..."
Ignoring Li Beifei's expression, which looked like he had swallowed a fly, Lao Liu continued, "The conditions for reshaping the physical body are extremely harsh. You need to build a flesh dissolving pool, then collect the blood of ten thousand spirits(万灵: ten thousand spirits, representing a multitude of beings), and then use a secret method to refine the blood of ten thousand spirits, inject it into the flesh dissolving pool, and then let it settle and ferment for ten thousand years, finally becoming a 'Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool' that can help cultivators reshape their physical bodies!"
"Ten thousand spirits(万灵: ten thousand spirits, representing a multitude of beings) doesn't mean ten thousand creatures, but the blood of ten thousand different races."
"Moreover, the cultivation level of these blood donors must not be lower than that of a Sage!"
Lao Liu's words made Li Beifei click his tongue in amazement. Ten thousand races were fine; the universe was vast, and there were countless races of living beings. But for ten thousand races, each race would have to send a Sage to offer blood. Assuming those Sages were willing, not all races could give birth to Sages.
But Lao Liu cleared up his doubts.
"If the Red Dust Realm doesn't work, just go to other worlds, what's the big deal?"
Li Beifei was speechless. Good heavens, this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool was created by his master. Besides the academy, probably only the Gu family had this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool.
Why? Because both forces were created by his master.
"That's not right. Since the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool is something only our human race can possess, wouldn't our human race dominate the universe? What about other races?"
Li Beifei quickly noticed something was wrong. If reshaping the physical body was really that strong, then over the past million years, the ancient races had also produced many ancient emperors. Although there weren't as many as the human race, don't forget that the ancient races didn't have this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool.
To this, Lao Liu's answer was simple.
"The Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool was created by Gu Changsheng to allow human geniuses to catch up with other races in terms of physical body."
"It's useless for those with strong physical bodies."
Li Beifei was stunned and said, "Then is it useless for me?"
"Not just you, but also Gu Tianjun and that little savage(小蛮子: refers to someone who is barbaric or uncivilized) who always wears a tiger-skin skirt!" Lao Liu said.
Damn it, little savage(小蛮子: refers to someone who is barbaric or uncivilized), although he dresses like a barbarian, his name is Qin Shaoshang, okay!
"Then can I break through to the Nirvana Realm at will?" Li Beifei suddenly became interested. If everyone else was stuck at the peak of the Life and Death Realm, and he broke through to the Nirvana Realm first, how awesome would that be?
Even an old trickster like him occasionally needs to show off his presence.
But he was just thinking about it. He still preferred the feeling of playing dumb and ambushing people from behind.
...
Three days later, shocking news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Tianhuang Star.
When the students of the academy received the news, they were also astonished.
The person involved, Bai Yifei, was stunned in his courtyard.
He was really sold, sold by his old master, sold to the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan, sold to the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter.
Not long ago, the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan announced to the world that their Royal Daughter had been engaged to Bai Yifei, the successor of the Human Race's Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. After both sides stepped into the Sage Realm, their Royal Daughter would marry Bai Yifei. Yes, it was the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter marrying Bai Yifei, not the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter marrying Bai Yifei.
Simply put, Bai Yifei was going to be a live-in son-in-law(入赘: marry into and live with wife's family) of the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan.
As soon as this news came out, various forces on Tianhuang Star were watching the attitude of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. This was just a one-sided statement from the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan. What if the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion didn't agree?
But soon, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion sent a representative to announce to the world that what the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan said was true!
And Bai Yifei, who was far away in the Human Dao Academy, received a symbolic voice transmission from his master, Heavenly Mystery Master.
"Yifei, for the sake of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, for the sake of the human race, please bear with it. Moreover, the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter is a very nice person. The betrothal gift even includes a quasi-Emperor-level tortoise shell from the Primordial Era, which is even more powerful than our pavilion's treasure..."
Before Heavenly Mystery Master finished speaking, Bai Yifei cut off the transmission.
Damn it, he was sold, sold by his master, sold by his sect.
"There's no good person in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!" Bai Yifei couldn't help but recall what the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter had said to him before. He was still angry at the time, but now he felt that the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter was right. There wasn't a single good person; they were all a bunch of bad old men.
"Brother Bai, you haven't even married yet, and you're already helping the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter speak. Tsk tsk!"
At this time, the other four members of the five-person group also rushed over after hearing the news. The person speaking had a very cheap tone. Without guessing, it was Li Beifei.
Bai Yifei rolled his eyes at these brothers in arms during wartime and friends who mocked him during peacetime.
"Yo, Brother Bai, you've even learned how to flirt. Honestly, did you keep flirting with the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter during the battle, which made her secretly fall in love with you and even take the crazy action of proposing to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"
Xuan Mingzi babbled.
Bai Yifei squinted at them. Besides Xia Wuji and Li Ruoyu, Li Beifei and Xuan Mingzi were the most restless.
"You two aren't jealous of me, are you?" Bai Yifei looked at Li Beifei and Xuan Mingzi suspiciously.
"You're talking nonsense!"
The two said in unison, but looking at their expressions, no one would believe that they weren't jealous.
Seeing this, the resentment in Bai Yifei's heart from being sold by his sect was greatly reduced. He said with interest, "Oh, who told me to be naturally handsome and unrestrained? Even the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter is captivated by my charm. Alas, it's all my fault for being too handsome!"
Damn it!
Li Beifei and Xuan Mingzi looked at each other. They originally came to mock Bai Yifei, but they didn't expect to be outsmarted by this kid. No, they had to fight back!
"I have Qingyi!" Li Beifei raised his head and chest, with a proud expression.
"Oh? You've confirmed your relationship with Fairy Qingyi? I saw it. Fairy Qingyi still calls you Young Master Li. She even calls me Young Master Bai!"
Bai Yifei directly ignored Li Beifei's move. You haven't even confirmed the relationship. How dare you take Fairy Qingyi out as a trump card?
Hearing this, Li Beifei couldn't help but feel discouraged. He also wanted to confess to Mu Qingyi, but for some reason, every time he saw Mu Qingyi, he didn't dare to reveal his feelings.
Seeing this, Bai Yifei couldn't help but shift his attack target to Xuan Mingzi.
"Xuan Mingzi, you wouldn't want to say that you have a junior sister, would you?"
Xuan Mingzi's face was embarrassed. He really wanted to say that just now, but he was interested in his junior sister, but he didn't know if his junior sister had any feelings for him.
Seeing that the two had been defeated, Bai Yifei was about to point the finger at the remaining two, but before he could speak, Xia Wuji's voice sounded.
"Brother Bai, I'm not like the three of them. I have a fiancée!"
"..."
Li Ruoyu looked helpless. What did I do to you? Why do you have to drag me into this dispute!
"Humph!"
Bai Yifei snorted softly. He said, "Actually, you don't have to comfort me. The Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter is so beautiful. It's not bad to be with her!"
"You're the one who's going to be a live-in son-in-law(赘婿: son-in-law who lives with wife's family)!" A cheap voice sounded.
"Get lost. If you keep slang for nagging or talking too much, be careful I'll master the Heavenly Mystery Dao and cut off your marriage line with Fairy Qingyi!" Bai Yifei said angrily.
Someone who practiced swordsmanship immediately shut up.
The others also came to see Bai Yifei's state. Seeing that he was eloquent, they knew that this matter had little impact on him, so they left.
They still had to hurry up and cultivate. After all, they would be embarking on the Ancient Starry Sky Road on the Jingzhe Day three years later. At that time, no matter how precious their identities were on Tianhuang Star, they would not be able to play any role in the universe. Only their own strength was the most important guarantee.
...
Time passed quickly, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Originally, the birth of the Primordial Clan made the human race uneasy, but strangely, the Primordial Clan was exceptionally calm during this year, so that a strange tranquility appeared throughout Tianhuang Star.
It was not until an event occurred in Southern Wilderness half a month ago that this tranquility was broken.
Qin Shaoshang, who successfully merged two Heavenly Mandate Stones, went to the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan's territory immediately after leaving seclusion, after hearing that the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter had killed the Primordial Beginning Holy Son with one move, to challenge the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter.
The two had similar cultivation levels, both in the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm. Their battle lasted for a whole day and night. In the end, the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter barely defeated Qin Shaoshang using the Heavenly Eye pupil technique.
After the battle, the ancient clan naturally cheered for the victor, the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter, but the human race did not feel lost because of Qin Shaoshang's defeat. The fact that the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter killed the Primordial Beginning Holy Son with one move had spread throughout Tianhuang Star, and Qin Shaoshang was able to fight the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter for a whole day and night, and was finally defeated narrowly, which already showed Qin Shaoshang's power.
And experienced people pointed out Qin Shaoshang's current state. Qin Shaoshang had just merged the Heavenly Mandate Stone, and was still unable to fully develop the power of the Heavenly Mandate Stone. If he could fully exert the power of the Heavenly Mandate Stone, it would be very difficult to predict who would win or lose this battle.
However, Bai Yifei was extremely proud and showed off to Li Beifei and the others after learning about this.
"Have you heard? My wife defeated Qin Shaoshang!"
His expression and tone were as if he had defeated Qin Shaoshang himself.
There was another person who felt the same way as Bai Yifei, and that was the Primordial Beginning Holy Son, who was instantly killed by the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter in the Tianjiao Competition.
When the Primordial Beginning Holy Son learned that Qin Shaoshang was able to force the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter to use all her cards, his mood was very bad. During this year, whenever the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter was mentioned, the fact that he was instantly killed by the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter was turned out like a literally means flogging the corpse, figuratively means to criticize or humiliate someone repeatedly for past mistakes, which made him very unhappy, but being unhappy was useless. Only by defeating the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter in person in the future can he wash away the old shame.
So he practiced very hard, and even often went out of the academy to go to many dangerous secret realms to train himself, in order to wipe out a disgrace on the battlefield one day. For this reason, he even throw to the back of one's mind; forget about the matter of plotting against Li Beifei.
For him, Li Beifei only plotted against some holy fruits, but the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter was his enemy for life!
During this time, the cultivation of the students in the academy was growing rapidly, and even two of them had already taken the lead in breaking through to the ninth level of the Life and Death Realm.
These two were not the powerful Gu Tianjun, nor the old trickster Li Beifei, but Honghong and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
As innate Dao bodies, they were the darlings of the Heavenly Dao. They were helped by the heavens when they cultivated, and their cultivation speed was extremely fast. And Honghong was often guided in her cultivation by Gu Changsheng, and Yaochi's Holy Maiden was also guided by the way, out of love for her.
Gu Changsheng naturally knew the relationship between Honghong and Yaochi's Holy Maiden, but Yaochi's Holy Maiden herself did not intend to say it clearly, and he was too lazy to get involved in the sisters' affairs. Anyway, they would know one day.
This day, Xia Wuji came to Li Beifei's courtyard.
Li Beifei looked at him in confusion. He said, "Why are you here to find me instead of cultivating at this time?"
"Hehe!"
Xia Wuji smiled, Li Beifei's eyes narrowed, this smile, this expression, was so similar to when they cooperated to trick the Primordial Beginning Holy Son in Tianduan Mountain for the first time.
"Speak, is there something good again?" Li Beifei asked.
"Hehe, the one who knows me is Brother Li!" Xia Wuji first flattered him a little, and then said, "A month later, there will be a once-in-a-century Fighting Stone grand meeting in Zixiao City, Eastern Region!"
"Fighting Stone?" Li Beifei frowned. He naturally knew what Fighting Stone was. Source crystals were produced in source mines, and because the source mines had an extremely long history, some strange ores were born.
And these strange ores were very mysterious, and could isolate the exploration of monks' spiritual consciousness, but these ores often cut out some strange things, and if you were lucky, you could cut out divine sources that were ten thousand times more precious than top-grade source crystals.
If you were unlucky, you might cut out underwear from the ancient times...
Anyway, there was nothing strange about it, and it was not impossible to cut out living beings.
So, gambling stones were born. A knife to heaven - a knife to hell means spending countless source crystals to buy these strange ores, and then gamble. If you succeed, it is naturally heaven, and if you fail, it is naturally hell.
And the way that both sides use gambling stones as a duel is called Fighting Stone.
Li Beifei asked, "So what, you and I don't know how to gamble stones, wouldn't it be a waste of source crystals to go?"
Xia Wuji said with a smile, "Call Brother Bai, let him use the Heavenly Mystery Dao, and then..."
"Then you can make a steady profit without losing!" Li Beifei's eyes lit up, but then he worriedly said, "I remember that the source mine sales offices of the major holy lands are forbidden for people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to enter, right?"
Because people who practice the Heavenly Mystery Dao will calculate good and bad luck, they only need to slightly calculate whether they will lose or make money after buying this source mine. This ability is undoubtedly extremely jealous of the major forces, so they jointly issued a statement, prohibiting people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion from gambling stones.
"Then disguise yourself, who is who? Moreover, the ZIwei Holy Land has discovered several stone kings this time, and is preparing to make a amazing in this Fighting Stone large-scale conference!" Xia Wuji said.
Speaking of the Ziwei Holy Land, Li Beifei couldn't help but think of the Ziwei Holy Son who was still惦记 about his future wife. His eyes narrowed, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Then it's decided!"
After they looted the underground black market, everyone had billions of high-grade source crystals on them, but the more source crystals you have, the more you want. Who would嫌 source crystals? Only a fool would!
"Achhoo!"
Gu Changsheng, who was enjoying the tea brewed by the White Tiger Demon Emperor, suddenly sneezed. His eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
"This rebellious disciple, it seems he needs a beating after a year of not being disciplined!"
