The Show Is About to Begin

A flash of rosy light vanished in an instant.

At the foot of Mount Emei, Li Yu revealed himself.

"Blergh..."

Supporting himself against a huge boulder by the mountainside, Li Yu vomited until the world spun around him.

"Damn it. That stunt nearly cost me half my life!"

After a while, Li Yu straightened up with a deathly pale face, mouth wide open as he gasped for breath.

"Some people get carsick, some get seasick, some get airsick, and I get sick from escape light. This body is way too weak."

Li Yu shook his head with a bitter smile.

Just now, to show off, he had ridden an escape light for several thousand li, traveling from Eastern Peak to Mount Shu. The escape light was indeed impressive; a journey of thousands of li took only an instant. The problem was that Li Yu's body could not endure it!

"Looks like I have to improve my strength. Even I can't stand looking at this pathetic state."

Li Yu smiled faintly, found a place to sit, and opened the system.

The System Mall had automatically recorded every function of the Supreme Heavenly Book, so Li Yu could exchange for any resources scanned by the system.

"First, my constitution. My physical condition is too poor. I should exchange for a powerful constitution!"

Opening the system and seeing the dazzling array of items in the Resource Library, Li Yu beamed. "What constitution should I exchange for? A Sacred Body? Or an Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?"

A Sacred Body might be physically powerful, but cultivation would be far too difficult.

The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo possessed all the advantages of the Sacred Body, along with the Dao Embryo's innate ability to communicate with the great Dao of heaven and earth! This was the one!

"Exchange for the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo."

"Thirty energy points consumed. Exchange beginning."

"Ah..."

The intense pain made Li Yu howl uncontrollably.

A lava-like torrent erupted violently within Li Yu's body. Every inch of him hurt, as though his entire body had been thoroughly crushed and then reshaped bit by bit.

Fortunately, it did not last long. The body reconstruction process quickly ended. Yet those few short minutes had felt longer than Ten Thousand years to Li Yu.

"Whew! Whew!"

Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted hard, still haunted by the experience.

"After suffering that much, I wonder how effective it was?"

Once he had recovered, Li Yu began examining the changes in himself.

He casually moved his limbs and felt surging power coursing through his body. An unprecedented sense of strength filled his heart.

"Haha! Good! Very good! I'm not a weakling anymore!"

Li Yu patted his chest, clenched his fist, flexed his arm in a bodybuilder's pose, and chuckled again.

Turning his head, he spotted a rock by the mountainside and walked over with a smile.

"Let's see if I can lift it!"

He bent down, grabbed the stone by two corners, and heaved. To his surprise, he lifted it effortlessly.

"That was so easy? This thing must weigh at least four or five hundred jin, right?"

With a bang, Li Yu threw the stone away. He swung his arm and laughed again.

"The constitution problem is solved. Now I need a Cultivation Method. The method best suited to this constitution is naturally the Primordial Scripture."

Li Yu opened the system and prepared to exchange for the Primordial Scripture.

"Huh? I spent thirty energy points exchanging for the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo. I wonder how much energy I have left?"

Thinking of this, Li Yu hurriedly checked his energy data.

"One thousand eight hundred and fifty-three energy points? That many? Looks like I won't have to worry about running out of energy anytime soon."

"Since energy isn't a problem, exchange for the Primordial Scripture."

"Ten energy points consumed. Exchange beginning."

Countless words and images flowed endlessly into Li Yu's mind like a stream. He let out a muffled groan, and his face turned slightly pale.

"Taking in so much information at once is really too much. Good thing my constitution is stronger now, or I'd probably have another headache."

Li Yu rubbed his forehead and sat down against a mountain rock.

"I have exchanged for a constitution and obtained a Cultivation Method. There's no need to rush cultivation. I should first see how things are going with Zhou Yi."

"Connect me to the Supreme Heavenly Book system."

Li Yu issued the command. The system instantly connected to the Supreme Heavenly Book and displayed everything around Zhou Yi before Li Yu's eyes.

Jade Emperor Peak.

Zhou Yi stood in the field, holding a stone in his palm.

"Zhou Yi, congratulations on receiving an immortal opportunity!"

Liu Yunzhi walked forward with a meaningful smile. "What kind of immortal opportunity was it? Take it out and let us have a look."

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"Zhou Yi, stop hiding it. Take it out and let us see!"

"That's right! Let us see this immortal opportunity!"

The others around them also chimed in.

"Hehe. What immortal opportunity? You really believed that?"

Zhou Yi shook the stone in his hand and smiled as he shook his head. "Isn't it just a stone? I even picked it up off the ground right in front of everyone. That immortal was clearly just teasing me, playing in the mortal world."

"Zhou Yi, that's not very decent of you."

An inscrutable gleam flashed through Liu Yunzhi's eyes. "We've all been classmates. If you got something good, we'd only be happy for you. There's no need to hide it. Everyone, don't you agree?"

"Exactly! Zhou Yi, that's too much."

"Why be so stingy?"

"He's about to become an immortal. Why would he still care about us?"

Jealous accusations rose one after another.

"Hehe!"

The smile on Zhou Yi's face remained gentle, and his refined, jade-like demeanor did not diminish in the slightest.

Of course, he knew Liu Yunzhi had ill intentions, and he knew these people were jealous. But with his composure, he naturally gave nothing away.

"It really is just a stone. If you want to see it, take it."

Zhou Yi did not care about the stone in his hand. He casually tossed it to Liu Yunzhi.

Li Yu had hidden the Supreme Heavenly Book system inside this stone. Once Zhou Yi had received it, the system had already entered his mind. This stone truly was nothing more than an ordinary stone now.

"Uh..."

Zhou Yi's action caught everyone by surprise. Liu Yunzhi blankly caught the stone, scrutinized it carefully before his eyes, and finally discovered that it really was just a stone.

"Could it be that I'm doing it wrong?"

Liu Yunzhi recalled many scenes from novels. He hurriedly bit his middle finger and smeared blood onto the stone. However... the stone was still a stone.

Seeing Liu Yunzhi's actions, Zhou Yi sneered inwardly and said, "Perhaps my fate is insufficient, and this immortal opportunity was never meant for me. I wonder whether someone else might have this opportunity."

"That's right! Didn't that immortal say that we were all Fated Ones? Liu Yunzhi, let me see it."

"Me too! Me too!"

"Count me in!"

A crowd began shouting over one another, and Liu Yunzhi had no choice but to pass the stone over.

The stone made a full round through the crowd. Nearly everyone examined it, trying every method they could think of, yet they gained nothing.

"That immortal must have been teasing us. Aren't there many immortals in stories who play among mortals? This must be an ordinary stone."

In the end, the stone returned to Zhou Yi's hand. Speaking to the crowd, Zhou Yi casually tossed it onto the ground.

"That must be it."

Everyone sighed helplessly.

"Look! Over there, what is that?"

Li Xiaoman suddenly pointed toward where the nine dragons had fallen and cried out in surprise.

Everyone hurriedly looked over. At the place where the nine dragons had fallen, dazzling five-colored radiance surged from an enormous five-colored stone platform, and a huge Taiji Diagram appeared out of thin air.

The two Yin Yang Fish within the Taiji Diagram trembled continuously, as though they were slowly opening a gateway.

"An immortal opportunity! That is the real immortal opportunity!"

Liu Yunzhi suddenly shouted and sprinted toward where the nine dragons had fallen.

"Yes! Yes!"

"This is the real immortal opportunity!"

"Quick! Quick! Let's go!"

Seeing where the nine dragons had fallen, everyone's hearts burned with excitement, and they rushed over.

"The nine dragons have descended, and the Emperor's Path has opened. Could this be the Emperor's Path the immortal mentioned?"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he too hurried toward where the nine dragons had fallen.

"Buzz..."

An invisible force swept everyone into the Bronze Coffin, and with a clank, the coffin lid slammed shut.

Boom!

Five-Colored Divine Light pierced through heaven and earth, shooting straight into the clouds. The Nine Dragons Coffin Pull rushed into the gateway within the Taiji Diagram and vanished.

"Good! The curtain has risen, and the show is about to begin!"

Seeing this, Li Yu burst into laughter.

Don't miss out if you pass by. Just 998, and take the system home. Young man, what are you waiting for?

All right, I'm here begging for votes!
