Volume 1, Chapter 26: Swindling the Li Family Out of Their Fortune

"Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to the void, refining the void to embody the Dao, and shattering the void. Once one reaches the realm of shattering the void, they attain the status of an immortal," Dan Xuan explained.

Gently stroking the warm feather in his hand, Ye Ling felt its tangible texture. His brow furrowed tightly as he murmured in bewilderment.

Gu Jiaqi instructed Xie Tianbao to follow and see whom the person was meeting. Shortly after, Xie Tianbao returned with the news: the person was Cheng Si-xuan, the second son of the Cheng family.

The Emperor was in high spirits, acting on a whim. The princes and officials were baffled but dared not ask, so they followed, filled with unspoken concerns.

An inexplicable, dark aura emerged between Ning Xiao’s brows, and the true essence within his body began to circulate in a bizarre, autonomous manner.

Seeing this, Fatty and Ma Tiao outside let out a sigh of relief. All the students also relaxed; they had been truly terrified.

With his mind elsewhere, Ye Ling did not notice Wan Qing-shi’s hesitation to speak. He immediately summoned a giant, pearly-white bird using a flying card and climbed aboard. Seeing this, the others dared not delay and quickly leaped up to take their seats.

With so many prominent figures arriving at the main city for the Heaven-Worship Ceremony, the one who drew the most attention was naturally Gu Changsheng; no one else could compare to him.

Unexpectedly, however, the black wolf actually lunged and bit, causing Fatty to dodge in a panic.

They all knew that Gu Zhen currently had only one son, so he certainly doted on Gu Changsheng immensely. If he were to die, it would surely cause Gu Zhen unbearable agony.

Luo Sisi did not understand where this emotion of his came from, nor did she care to. She simply wanted to find out who had sent that girl to bring her a bowl of poison back then, and to retrieve what her mother had left behind for this body.

Teacher Luo began to harmonize with Liu Hai, while Gao Lu darted around Li Yingjun and followed Li Zhengren, trying to pry for information, her expression impatient and desperate.

"Yun Xiao, I remember someone who struck a Celestial Dragon was also named Yun Xiao. I wonder if that is you?" Whitebeard gazed at Li Yun Xiao, who was not even as tall as his knees, and asked casually.

Long Xi frowned because a faint, deep purple hue shimmered upon the black blade, leading him to suspect that the iron-claw weapon had been coated with a deadly poison.

Even the youngest player on the Barcelona squad was incredibly dedicated. Bojan had been nursing an injury, but for the sake of Barcelona, he had opted for conservative treatment so that he could be ready to play at any moment.

Just as the five were quietly cultivating, a long leaf at the top of the Earth Spirit Grass suddenly began to change. A faint, thin line was quietly spreading across the long leaf.

"Heaven's Gate" was the name Li Yun Xiao gave to the ability of his right eye, signifying a portal connecting the "God Realm" space of his left eye to the outside world.

An attendant entered and arranged the items on the tray neatly on the table. A round object, resembling a fish tank, was placed on a sandalwood stand, emitting heat, with a white lotus blooming in the water. The other items were much simpler: one pot and three cups.

The next moment, blade and sword collided, and two terrifying forces struck each other instantly. The entire heavens and earth were instantly eclipsed; no earth-shattering sound emerged, for even sound vanished and dissolved like snowflakes in the wake of their strike.

As soon as the Seven-Kill Fire entered the cauldron, a series of crackling sounds erupted. It was a contest between the outsider and the local; only, the local's energy caused harm from the shadows, while the outsider's energy was brazenly aggressive in the open.

"That shouldn't be a problem," Gao Yu said nonchalantly, recounting the conversation he had previously had with Aizen in Hueco Mundo.

Shen Nuo did not have much to say about others' affairs. After settling the bill, she left the restaurant with Fu Chuji. Even after they got into the car, his phone was still vibrating, so Fu Chuji simply blocked the caller.

This meant that even if the Second and Third Princes managed to seize power through unorthodox means, the Crown Prince could still turn the tide with these two forces.

The next moment, the fog shattered, and a bizarre entity shrouded in black smoke appeared out of thin air before Wang Huocheng.

Lu Ce tilted his body slightly, dodging perfectly, but the shattered wood fragments still splattered onto his body.

However, when certain matters were involved, people within every circle could perceive others' attitudes toward those events through their actions.

Jiang Yan stayed in the head nurse's lounge for the entire night. Until the sky began to brighten, Wang Rourou knocked on every door, ordering all the patients to line up neatly below the inpatient building.

An abandoned bus lying across the street suddenly lifted into the air, as if something invisible had found it too much of an obstruction and slapped it aside with great force.

The demon wolf creature retreated toward a broken window at the back, preparing to jump out.

They invested throughout the entire process, yet each family was only allowed to hold ten percent of the shares—that was simply too much!

Principal Su reached out to touch the right side of his face; even after three years, the look of disbelief upon it remained as vivid as ever.

Following a wave of commotion, Zhen Lang stepped forward, and immediately a chorus of "Ooh~" rose from below.

Gu Yu had dealt with Stephen Borg for a long time and had once been in close contact with a clone of Stephen Borg. Based on the experience he had accumulated, he could tell at a glance that the Stephen Borg before him was the real one, not a clone.

It was the production line of Gu Chao Flight that Gu Yu had upgraded multiple times using lottery-won technology, which had massively increased output; otherwise, such a large volume of orders could never have been completed in such a short time.

Gu Shuying froze, watching her boisterous retreating figure, the smile on her lips slowly turning stiff.

Gu Yu turned his focus to two places: one was China, which he had already ruled out, and the other was Africa.

Since he started high school, his older brother's grades had always been the best in the grade, impossible for anyone to surpass.

How could such a strange magic exist in this world! Cold sweat unwittingly covered the man in black's forehead. He now regretted accepting this mission. Had he known he would encounter such troublesome opponents, he would never have come, no matter how high the reward.
