Bai Yifei quickly returned, his face filled with resentment as he looked at Xuan Mingzi. As the successor of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the next generation's leader, he had actually been deceived by Xuan Mingzi. If the old guys in the sect found out, wouldn't they drag him back to cultivate his Heavenly Mystery skills in seclusion?
How could Xuan Mingzi, with his honest and simple appearance, be so cunning?
Seeing Bai Yifei's return, Li Beifei couldn't help but say, "I know you're all worried about me, but have you ever seen me fight a battle I wasn't sure of winning?"
Hearing this, the others exchanged glances, all agreeing that Li Beifei had a point.
They couldn't help but recall how each of their personalities had changed, more or less, since they had met Li Beifei.
The biggest change was in Xuan Mingzi. Ever since he acknowledged Li Beifei as his boss, his original persona as an honest and simple Holy Son of the Yin Yang Sect had completely collapsed.
Even someone as upright as Li Ruoyu had changed a lot after meeting Li Beifei.
Most importantly, they had never seen Li Beifei go all out. In the Heavenly Interruption Mountain of the Human Dao Academy, Li Beifei transformed into a schemer, specializing in sneak attacks. He even dared to attack his senior sister Ye Hongyi's sister, although he didn't know the relationship between Ye Hongyi and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi at the time.
During the Longevity Emperor's Tomb and the competition between the human and ancient race's prodigies, Li Beifei hadn't fought seriously either. Regarding Li Beifei's strength, even his closest brothers, who knew his personality best, were in the dark, which showed how cautious Li Beifei was.
How could such a cautious person challenge Ao Tian without being sure of victory?
The others quickly understood this point and couldn't help but wonder what methods Li Beifei had.
"Boss, what exactly is your plan to defeat Ao Tian? Or are you hiding your cultivation?" Xuan Mingzi asked.
Hearing this, the others also felt that the idea of hiding his cultivation was plausible. They remembered that Li Beifei had several magical pills that could not only perfectly hide his aura but also perfectly disguise him as someone else. If Li Beifei had been using these pills all along, it was normal that they couldn't see through his cultivation.
"I'm not hiding my cultivation," Li Beifei shook his head.
"Brother Li, that's not very nice of you. You're still hiding things from us," Bai Yifei said with dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Li Beifei revealed a wry smile and said, "I really haven't hidden my cultivation. My current cultivation is only at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, but I can break through at any time."
"The reason I'm suppressing it is that I want to break through to the Saint Realm in one go."
"Actually, my challenge to Ao Tian, although it has a bit of emotional impulse, is mostly because I want to use this pressure to help me break through as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I train step by step, it will take me decades or even centuries to catch up with you, and I can't wait that long."
Li Beifei had not made any progress in his Void Realm cultivation for thousands of years, which naturally had an impact. He was still a little distance away from breaking through to become a Saint. The thousand-year window period could not be made up for by simply cultivating his state of mind. He needed to catch up with Bai Yifei and the others as soon as possible, so he could only find another way.
His challenge to Ao Tian was naturally partly because he didn't want to lose face in front of Mu Qingyi, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to break through his limits. Only by breaking through his limits could he advance quickly.
Hearing that Li Beifei wasn't just talking nonsense, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ruoyu said, "Since Brother Li has his own ideas, then we can rest assured."
The other three also nodded.
Xuan Mingzi laughed and said, "I knew it, Boss, you're just a super schemer. How could you take risks? So you're planning to use that guy Ao Tian to cultivate!"
"..."
Li Beifei's face darkened. What do you mean I'm going to use Ao Tian to cultivate? How is that full of ambiguity? Also, you're saying I'm a super schemer? Although it's true, it's not something to be proud of, why are you saying it out loud?
"Hurry up and drink. Even wine can't shut your mouth," Li Beifei glared at him.
Everyone laughed heartily. Under the moonlight, the five of them enjoyed themselves like they had a thousand years ago.
...
The next day, everyone gathered in a courtyard, curiously watching Li Beifei standing in the center of the courtyard.
Everyone's faces were filled with curiosity, anticipation, and excitement.
Because Li Beifei was about to summon his master, His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Although they had all met Gu Changsheng before, most of them didn't know that Gu Changsheng was the Human Emperor at the time, but regarded Gu Changsheng as an elder. Although they were also respectful, they didn't have that kind of worshipful feeling.
But now it was different. If they could see him now, it would be like going on a pilgrimage, an opportunity that countless creatures dreamed of.
So they were very excited and curious at the same time, and also very curious about how Li Beifei would summon His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Would he take out something like a communication jade slip and crush it, or would he take out a peerless treasure to open a teleportation channel, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor would walk out of the teleportation channel, or...
They fantasized about all kinds of cool entrances in their minds.
"Honghong, do you know how Li Beifei is going to summon His Majesty the Holy Emperor?" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi asked.
"Sister, why don't you guess?" Ye Hongyi had a sly smile on her face.
Seeing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. "This is too hard to guess, isn't it?"
"It's okay, just guess. I'll give you a hint. Think about why Junior Brother used to scream."
Saying that, Ye Hongyi looked at Mu Qingyi and said, "Sister Mu, why don't you guess too?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi's face flashed with a helpless smile and said, "I'm afraid he's going to be rebellious again."
"As expected of Sister Mu, you really know Junior Brother very well," Ye Hongyi teased.
Mu Qingyi's face was slightly red, but she didn't refute it. Back then, Senior Gu brought Li Beifei to the Mu family to find her and beat Li Beifei in front of her family. She still remembered Li Beifei's stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat.
"He wouldn't be thinking of..." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's face was strange, and she was too embarrassed to say it.
Ye Hongyi smiled bitterly and said, "This is how he summons his master."
"Boss, hurry up, it's almost noon, and Miss Yanran and Miss Yuran's lunch is about to be ready," Xuan Mingzi said to Li Beifei.
Hearing this, Li Beifei couldn't help but glare at him.
"Shut up, if you can't wait, leave first," Li Beifei said angrily.
Last night, he and the others drank too much and accidentally told them about his plan to summon the old guy to help him cultivate. As a result, he woke up surrounded by everyone.
He originally didn't want anyone to know about this method, because after using this method, he would inevitably be beaten up. Although his purpose was also to be beaten up, it was very embarrassing to be beaten up in front of everyone.
Especially with Qingyi here.
Alas, drinking leads to trouble!
Li Beifei took a deep breath, and then his Qi sank into his Dantian. Seeing this, everyone actually began to feel nervous.
It was normal to be nervous about seeing His Majesty the Holy Emperor soon!
"Old guy... come out quickly, this young master's skin is itchy. If you have the guts, come out and beat me... ah, come out and beat me... you old guy, when I master the sword, you'll be in trouble..."
Bai Yifei and the others who didn't know the situation almost fell to the ground. They had imagined countless summoning methods, but they didn't expect Li Beifei to use "cursing"?
Could this summon His Majesty the Holy Emperor?
In fact, it really could!
"Rebellious disciple... give me your life!"
A large shoe sole suddenly appeared from the void and landed heavily on Li Beifei's face.
...
