Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword to Slay Dingguang Immortal at the Start

At this moment, Tongtian Cult Master spoke indifferently.

After everyone had left, Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master and cupped her hands, saying, "Teacher, is there anything you wish to instruct this disciple to do?"

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao and said in exasperation, "Go to Penglai Immortal Island and ask that rebellious disciple, is that how he's supposed to be in seclusion? Tell him it's from me, the poor Taoist. If he can't bring fortune to the Intercepting Sect this time, I will definitely punish him severely..."

Yunxiao listened with a sigh and hurriedly cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master, "Yes, Teacher!"

With that, Yunxiao bowed and exited Biyou Palace, riding the clouds straight towards Penglai Immortal Island.

Upon arriving at Penglai Immortal Island, Yunxiao saw the scene that Tongtian Cult Master had just witnessed. She finally understood why Tongtian Cult Master had suddenly lost his temper; it was all because Li Xiao had angered him.

Yunxiao rolled her eyes and flew forward, saying unhappily, "Fifth Senior Brother, is this how you're supposed to be in seclusion?"

Li Xiao looked up at Yunxiao, habitually reaching out to pat her ample backside.

Mmm! Feels so good, surprisingly elastic...

"Ah..."

Yunxiao hadn't expected Li Xiao to make such a sudden move and couldn't help but let out a surprised cry. Her pretty face instantly turned red, and she quickly jumped away, putting distance between herself and Li Xiao. She looked at him with feigned anger, exasperated, "Fifth Senior Brother, you..."

Uh? Habitual action... Li Xiao was also extremely embarrassed, looking at Yunxiao with a sheepish grin and baring his teeth, "That... that Junior Sister Yunxiao, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if I'm angry, but if Teacher is angry, that's when you'll really be in trouble, Fifth Senior Brother!"

Yunxiao glared fiercely at Li Xiao, annoyed.

For some reason, Yunxiao wasn't truly angry at Li Xiao. Instead, her heart felt like it had a little deer running around inside, pounding wildly, and she felt mostly shy.

Damn it, I forgot to use the Chaos Bead to shield myself... Li Xiao thought to himself, looking at Yunxiao with an embarrassed smile, "That... that Junior Sister Yunxiao, is Teacher angry?"

"Seeing you in seclusion like this, how could Teacher not be angry? Teacher said that if you can't complete the Intercepting Sect's fortune, he will punish you severely this time!"

Yunxiao looked at Li Xiao unhappily, but there was a hint of worry between her brows.

After all, fortune and merit aren't so easily obtained!

[Fortune? Heh, Teacher wants to use this to trouble me, it's a piece of cake!]

At this moment, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts.

"Uh? A piece of cake? Senior Brother Li Xiao really knows how to brag..."

Yunxiao was stunned, then shook her head slightly, clearly not believing that Li Xiao could obtain merit and fortune.

Li Xiao looked at Yunxiao and said, "That... that Junior Sister Yunxiao, you go on ahead first. This poor Taoist will go and get some merit, so as to avoid that old fellow Teacher using this as an excuse..."

"Hmph..."

Just then, a heavy cold snort echoed from the sky above Penglai Immortal Island.

The voice belonged to none other than Tongtian Cult Master.

Damn it, Teacher, you pervert...

Li Xiao was startled, shrinking his neck, and quickly cupped his hands towards Golden Ao Island, "That... that Teacher, your disciple meant you are old and prudent, that... that your disciple is going to get merit..."

With that, Li Xiao hurriedly rode the clouds and fled into the distance.

Yunxiao was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she also left Penglai Immortal Island and headed straight for Golden Ao Island.

Upon entering Biyou Palace and seeing Tongtian Cult Master, Yunxiao cupped her hands and said, "Teacher!"

Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, set up heavy restrictions, and asked, "Yunxiao, what did you hear?"

"That... that your disciple heard Fifth Senior Brother say that merit is a small matter, and he can get it in minutes..."

Yunxiao grinned.

Tongtian Cult Master rolled his eyes upon hearing this and pouted, "Hmph, that rebellious disciple, he doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Does he think merit is like common cabbage? Just because he says he can get it, he can get it? Truly... Oh well, it's good to let him go out and hit a wall, to temper his temper..."

Yunxiao nodded in agreement.

After all, merit is too precious in the Primordial World!

Yunxiao might believe Li Xiao in other matters, but merit is so rare and precious in the Primordial World, how could it be easily obtained?

On this point, Yunxiao was not entirely convinced!

However, both Yunxiao and Tongtian Cult Master felt a faint sense of anticipation.

After all, Li Xiao's inner thoughts had never been wrong so far...

Chapter 62: Merit, Again Merit, All the Saints Are Dumbfounded

On the coast of the East Sea, in the ancestral land of the Human Race.

Li Xiao had been in the Human Race for some time.

Since Li Xiao himself was a congenital human, he easily integrated into the Human Race.

Moreover, as Tongtian Cult Master's fifth direct disciple, Li Xiao was highly regarded among the Human Race and revered as a Venerable Immortal.

One day, Li Xiao summoned a tribesman.

The tribesman hurriedly cupped his hands to Li Xiao, "Venerable Immortal, why have you summoned me?"

Li Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the sky. Dark clouds gathered, and with a loud "crack," a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking a large, ancient tree.

"Hoo..."

The tree was instantly ignited, bursting into fierce flames.

Seeing this, the person's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

However, looking at the raging fire burning on the tree, his eyes were filled with curiosity. He turned to Li Xiao and asked, "Venerable Immortal, what is this..."

"This is fire! It can illuminate, cook food, provide warmth, and drive away wild beasts. Its uses are endless..."

Li Xiao pointed at the flames and said calmly.

"Fire, it can illuminate, cook food..."

The person's eyes flickered with wonder.

Then, the person walked away.

The person began to spread the seeds of fire among the Human Race. When the fire went out, they would drill wood to make fire.

With the appearance of fire, the civilization of the Human Race advanced greatly. Humans, who had lived like wild beasts eating raw meat, now ate cooked food.

It drove away wild beasts, provided illumination, and warmth, and so on...

The person understood the true meaning of fire and was called Suirenshi by the people.

On the day Suirenshi attained enlightenment, a colossal Golden Cloud of Merit flew across the sky, descending a massive Golden Pillar of Merit Light.

Eighty percent of the Golden Pillar of Merit Light flowed into Suirenshi's body. His cultivation skyrocketed as if riding a rocket, breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm on the spot.

The remaining twenty percent of the merit flew towards Li Xiao.

Li Xiao waved his sleeve and collected it.

On Golden Ao Island, within Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master saw the Golden Cloud of Merit. He was stunned at first, then overjoyed, muttering, "That brat really managed to obtain merit, and even the fortune of my Intercepting Sect has grown considerably..."

"Could it be that he can actually obtain merit? Instead of a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse?"

Tongtian Cult Master was filled with doubt.

The Saints of all heavens merely glanced at the ancestral land of the Human Race and did not pay much attention.

After all, in the vast Primordial World, there were countless living beings, and it was not unusual for someone to gain merit.

However, what happened next gradually attracted the attention of the Saints of all heavens.

One day, Li Xiao summoned a person and pointed to a bird's nest on a tree, saying, "Look, even birds and beasts have nests; humans should imitate them!"

The person pondered this and then left.

After an unknown period, the person used branches and logs to build a simple thatched hut.

From then on, the Human Race no longer lived in damp, dark caves but resided in houses.

And that person was revered by the people as Youchao Shi.

On the day Youchao Shi attained enlightenment, another colossal Golden Cloud of Merit flew across the sky, descending a thick, immense Golden Pillar of Merit Light that connected heaven and earth.

Eighty percent of the merit flowed into Youchao Shi's body, and his cultivation also skyrocketed, directly entering the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

The remaining twenty percent of the merit once again flew towards Li Xiao.

Li Xiao, with another wave of his sleeve, directly collected it.

Within a few years, the Heavenly Dao had bestowed merit twice, which aroused the attention of the Saints of all heavens.

On Golden Ao Island, within Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master sat on his cloud bed, excitedly slapping his thigh and laughing heartily, "This brat truly can obtain merit and fortune. He brings me such pleasant surprises, hahaha..."

On Shouyang Mountain, within the Eight Views Palace, Taishang Laojun was refining pills when he suddenly saw the Golden Cloud of Merit drifting towards the ancestral land of the Human Race. He couldn't help but be stunned and frowned, "Who is this? To have obtained such immense merit twice within a few years..."

As he spoke, Taishang Laojun focused his gaze on the ancestral land of the Human Race.

As a result, Taishang Laojun saw a portion of the merit entering Li Xiao's body.

"Li Xiao?"

Taishang Laojun was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with wonder, and he muttered, "This child is extraordinary. Not only does he possess unparalleled fortune, finding the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, but he can also obtain such merit. He is truly rare..."

Within Jade Void Palace on Mount Kunlun, Primordial Heavenly Venerate saw the two instances of merit and also looked towards the ancestral land of the Human Race. When he saw Li Xiao, his brow furrowed deeply, his old face turning extremely grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, this scoundrel Li Xiao actually has such schemes, to be able to obtain merit twice in succession. It is truly remarkable, but alas... he is not my disciple..."

Within the Palace of Nuwa, Empress Nuwa sat on her cloud bed. Seeing this scene, she was also taken aback, her delicate eyebrows raised, her beautiful eyes flashing with uncertainty. She murmured, "Li Xiao, this child is truly extraordinary..."

In the Western world, on the golden summit of Mount Sumeru.
