Chapter 32

Everyone looked at Bai Wuchen with shock, almost unable to believe their ears.

"Perceive the rules of the universe?"

Zhao Shanhe had been feeling proud of himself for breaking through to the Out-of-Body Realm, but upon hearing these words, he instantly felt bitter.

What kind of realm would one need to have the qualifications to touch the rules of the universe?

"I once read in an ancient book that above immortals, there are sages. I suppose this is a technique that only sages possess," Holy Emperor speculated.

Bai Wuchen nodded, "In short, Li Gongzi's realm is beyond our imagination."

Everyone sighed in amazement and headed up the mountain.

When they reached the entrance of the quadrangle, Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu's pupils suddenly constricted, their bodies trembling as if they had been cast under a spell.

Their eyes were fixed on the jade pendant at the door.

Their heads buzzed.

"Dad, this, this can't be..." Luo Shiyu swallowed, speaking with disbelief.

Holy Emperor nodded solemnly, "It can't be wrong. The traces of the past can still be faintly sensed on this jade pendant."

"No way, this is just too incredible!" Luo Shiyu was utterly shocked.

Bai Wuchen was surprised, "You can actually see the extraordinary nature of this jade pendant?"

If it weren't for seeing the jade pendant transform into a phoenix, Bai Wuchen wouldn't have realized how powerful it was.

On the surface, it was just a decent protective jade pendant.

"Without hiding anything from Lord Bai, this jade pendant was originally a gift from my daughter to Li Gongzi as a token of gratitude," Holy Emperor said. "However, it was just an ordinary protective jade pendant."

"What?!"

Bai Wuchen exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Doesn't this mean that Li Gongzi turned an ordinary jade pendant into a divine object?

Holy Emperor marveled, "I didn't expect Li Gongzi to have such skills. It seems he found the jade pendant my daughter gave to be too low-end, so he enhanced it, endowing it with a higher Dao aura."

"Not just endowing it with a Dao aura, this jade pendant is no longer an ordinary object!"

Bai Wuchen smiled bitterly and recounted how the jade pendant had defeated the Sword Demon.

Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu were speechless, their mouths agape.

An ordinary protective jade pendant had transformed into something comparable to a divine artifact, which was truly fantastical.

Zhao Shanhe reminded, "Holy Emperor, why don't you take a look at the couplet next to the jade pendant?"

Upon hearing this, Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu shifted their gaze to the couplet.

Instantly, a rich Dao aura enveloped them.

At that moment, they felt as if they had been reborn as mortals, striving to find the path of cultivation for immortality.

Just ten characters, yet they encompassed boundless Dao aura.

Too terrifying, too unbelievable!

"Sage's technique, absolutely a sage's technique!"

Holy Emperor's lips trembled. Turning stones into gold, transforming the mundane into treasure—this was undoubtedly the work of a sage.

After composing himself, Holy Emperor tried to calm down and had Luo Shiyu knock on the door.

"Li Gongzi, are you at home?" Luo Shiyu called out respectfully.

Creak.

Li Nianfan opened the door and glanced outside.

Slightly surprised, he said, "Why are you all here together?"

What day is it today? It's rare for a few acquaintances to come together like this.

"We happened to meet at the foot of the mountain and came together," Bai Wuchen said with a smile.

Luo Shiyu introduced, "Li Gongzi, this is my father, Luo Jinghong."

Luo Shiyu's father is the Holy Emperor of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, and he personally came to visit me, a mere mortal?

Building good relations would provide more security for me here.

Li Nianfan smiled, "Welcome, please come in."

"Li Gongzi, we noticed several lightning strikes nearby and were worried they might affect your life, so we came over," Lin Qingyun said.

"That lightning is indeed not a good thing!" Li Nianfan's face darkened, and he frowned. "I'm fine, but it has injured some innocents. Such disregard for life is truly despicable!"

These words hit everyone like a thunderbolt, making them gasp and shiver.

The heavenly lightning is sent by the Heavenly Dao. To speak of the Heavenly Dao like this, throughout history, only Li Gongzi has dared to do so!

They pressed their lips together, too afraid to speak.

They cautiously looked up at the sky, seeing no clouds, and let out a sigh of relief, timidly pulling their necks back.

Whether it's Li Gongzi or the Heavenly Dao, both are top-tier figures, and neither can be offended. They were in a difficult position!

At the same time, they were even more convinced that Li Gongzi must have come from the heavens. Otherwise, how could he speak to the Heavenly Dao like this, and the Heavenly Dao show no reaction?

"Gurgling."

A burst of steam lifted the lid of the medicine pot, making a crisp sound.

Li Nianfan immediately left the group and rushed over.

His face lit up, "Finally, it's done."

Holy Emperor and the others followed Li Nianfan, their noses twitching as they caught a whiff of a strange medicinal fragrance, which instantly invigorated them and made their faces glow.

This medicinal fragrance... is extraordinary!

They were at the Out-of-Body Realm, and ordinary spirit medicines no longer had any effect on them. Yet, this medicine, just by its fragrance, made them feel comfortable from the inside out. This alone was enough to classify it as a divine medicine.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Shanhe tried to probe the medicine pot with his divine sense to see what was inside.

However, as soon as his divine sense touched the pot, it was instantly swallowed up, leaving nothing behind!

"Ugh!"

Zhao Shanhe grunted, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

He looked at the medicine pot with fear and dread.

Bai Wuchen asked, "Old Zhao, what's wrong?"

"That medicine pot... is at least a divine artifact!" Zhao Shanhe said bitterly. "I overestimated myself and tried to see what the expert was cooking, but my divine sense was instantly swallowed up by half."

"What?"

Everyone gasped in shock. Holy Emperor and Bai Wuchen cautiously tried, and found it to be true.

They stared intently at the medicine pot, noticing that while it looked ordinary at first glance, upon closer inspection, it exuded an ancient aura, even a sense of the primordial, making them feel uneasy.

"Of course, an expert's tools can't be ordinary," Bai Wuchen realized. He thought of the air purifier and water purifier, both of which were incredible.

Luo Shiyu asked quietly, "Li Gongzi, who is this medicine for?"

"I encountered someone injured by lightning while out and brought them back to save them," Li Nianfan said.

He picked up the medicine pot, poured a bowl of medicine, and walked towards the room.

Li Nianfan suddenly said, "By the way, come in. You might be able to help."

These people were cultivators, and they might have some good treatment methods.

Bai Wuchen and the others exchanged glances and followed cautiously.
