Chapter 43

Yefeng was not a particularly cynical person. In the past, when he worked on construction sites, he always had a beautiful outlook on life, the future, and society. He believed that as long as a person worked diligently, sincerely, and honestly, they could certainly achieve their own value in society.

However, his values and worldview were soon shattered.

The reason for this was not, as Liu Yong said, that he was a toad lusting after swan meat. Instead, he suddenly realized that the reason his mother stubbornly believed in the hierarchical division of society was because there were too many so-called high-ranking and powerful people who, deep down, looked down on and mocked those like him who lived at the bottom of society.

Seeing the police officer and Brother Le kneeling before him, Yefeng finally tasted the feeling of being in a position of power, controlling others' fates. Although he was not a high-ranking official or a person in power, he had already gained enough strength to control ordinary people.

At this moment, Yefeng finally understood a phrase that Law often mentioned: in the world of cultivation, strength represents everything.

The police officer knelt on the ground, crying and confessing his shame, regretting his law-breaking, cursing Wang Da's tyranny, and condemning Brother Le's despicable behavior. He even swore to resign immediately the next day because he felt he had betrayed the sacred title of "police officer."

Originally, Brother Le, who was crying and wiping his nose, could no longer cry when he saw the "excellent" performance of this trusted subordinate of Chief Wang. Suddenly, he felt very "ashamed." In terms of acting, he was just an extra compared to this man, who was a film star. In terms of attitude, he was even further behind. He had only begged Yefeng for forgiveness, while this police officer had directly declared his resignation and intention to return home to farm.

Brother Le suddenly felt that he was a complete tragedy and a big joke that night.

The effect of the soul-binding technique could only last for fifty minutes, so Yefeng knew that the police officer would not remember anything he had said or done after regaining consciousness. Yefeng's goal was to show these hooligans that the support they relied on was even more shameless, cowardly, and vulnerable than they were.

Having achieved his goal, Yefeng no longer wanted to stay there. He said to Brother Le, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Don't let me see you here again."

After saying this, Yefeng turned and left.

But Brother Le, who was still kneeling, felt a chill in his heart. Yefeng's words had ended his "gang leader" career. If he didn't appear in the seaside square area anymore, he would be nothing.

After much struggle and consideration, Brother Le finally decided to disband the gang, keeping only Wu Zi, Liu Zi, and Xiao Qi to help him manage the bar business. He would wait a year or two until Yefeng forgot about him, and then try to make a comeback.

Yefeng, of course, did not know Brother Le's thoughts. His words were just a casual remark.

The reason he said that was because he wanted to collect souls at the seaside square every day and create a quiet, undisturbed environment for himself.

Returning to the temporary residence at the office, Yefeng washed up briefly and quickly entered the Nine Star Space.

This time, Yefeng entered with his physical body, which was the first time he had done so since obtaining the Nine Star Space.

Unlike before when only his consciousness entered, when Yefeng's physical body stepped onto the land of the space, he truly experienced the wonders of the space.

As soon as he entered, he smelled a refreshing fragrance, and all the mental and physical burdens of the day instantly dissipated.

With a thought, Yefeng appeared before the Nine Star Pagoda. This teleportation-like feeling greatly excited Yefeng. In the space, as the owner, he could teleport without any cultivation restrictions because the entire space belonged to him.

Before entering the Nine Star Pagoda, Yefeng first checked the Yin-Yang fruit tree planted on the open ground outside the pagoda.

The Yin-Yang fruit tree was now about ten centimeters tall and would bear fruit in less than three months. Yefeng eagerly hoped that the Yin fruit, which could preserve youth and health, would improve his family's physical condition and make his white-haired mother younger and healthier.

Entering the second floor of the pagoda, Yefeng, who had decided to use the Four Values to instantly boost his cultivation, did not climb the platform for normal cultivation. Instead, he contacted Law and asked about the unanswered questions from earlier.

However, before answering, Law complained, "The space owner disappoints me. You wasted the opportunity to gain 280 evil points and an additional 560 merit points. Your character is far inferior to that of ordinary cultivators in the cultivation world. With your current character, you cannot enter the cultivation world, or you will be easily destroyed."

Yefeng was puzzled and even more confused. He hurriedly asked, "Law, do you mean I... I can enter the cultivation world?"

Law did not answer Yefeng's question but instead replied to the previous questions: "From the memories of Tianyuan Zhenxian, I know that the world where the space owner lives had a large number of martial artists over a thousand years ago. Martial artists are not cultivators or martial cultivators; they are just people with physical abilities far superior to ordinary humans. Geographically, the martial artists on Earth are divided into Eastern and Western camps. The country where the space owner lives belongs to the Eastern camp. In terms of strength, the martial artists in the Eastern camp are divided from low to high into初级, 中级, 高级, 超级, 先天下位, 先天中位, and 先天高位. According to the memories of Tianyuan Zhenxian, over a thousand years, there have been more than a hundred 先天高位 martial artists in the world where the space owner lives. As for the levels above 先天高位, I cannot find the answer in the memories of Tianyuan Zhenxian. Perhaps they exist, or perhaps they do not."

Yefeng had expected that Law would not answer his key question. However, even if Law did not answer, Yefeng could roughly estimate that Law would not say something without a reason. Perhaps he could really find a way to enter the cultivation world after meeting certain conditions.

This thought excited Yefeng but also made him feel lost and worried.

That was the cultivation world, a world that existed only in legends in his mind. Even if he could go there, would he dare to go? Would he have the strength to go?

Yefeng suppressed this thought and focused on Law's answers, which were more relevant to his current situation.

Yefeng asked again, "Law, do you know how many martial artists are still alive in the country where I live, and whether there are any 高级, 超级, or 先天以上 level martial artists?"

Law replied, "I cannot answer this question because I cannot find the relevant information in the memories of Tianyuan Zhenxian. However, I can tell the space owner that compared to over a thousand years ago, the number of martial artists has only decreased, not increased. Therefore, even if there are 高级, 超级, or 先天以上 level martial artists, their numbers would be extremely rare."

Yefeng thought about it and found Law's hint reasonable.

Yefeng asked one last question, "You said that killing a 初级 martial artist would reward me with a 初级 cultivation technique. Can you explain this in more detail?"

"This is one of the many reward rules set by Tianyuan Zhenxian. As long as the space owner eliminates a martial artist, regardless of whether the martial artist is good or evil, the space owner will be rewarded with a corresponding cultivation technique from the Tianlong cultivation world. If the space owner can eliminate a 先天高位 martial artist, they will be rewarded with the strongest cultivation technique from the Tianlong cultivation world. Similarly, if the space owner can eliminate a cultivator, they will be rewarded with a corresponding spell. If the space owner can eliminate a cultivator at the Golden Core stage or above, they will not only receive a corresponding spell but also an additional Blue-grade magical weapon. The grades of magical weapons are Green, Blue, Black, White, Red, and Green, with Green being the lowest and Green being the highest."

Yefeng could not help but applaud Tianyuan Zhenxian in his heart. This True Immortal's personality and preferences were truly bizarre. First, he created a space law that resembled an AI from a sci-fi movie, then the Four Values exchange rules that were both loved and hated, and now a series of rules for killing to gain rewards. The rewards were tempting, but the methods to obtain them were difficult for Yefeng to accept.

Is killing really as simple as drinking water or eating a meal? With Yefeng's current values, he truly could not understand.
