The most intelligent general in the world

Zhang Liang panicked and became more alert. The figure seemed to have walked out of another dimension, but Zhang Liang knew that no one in this world knew how to manipulate space, so the person was definitely not hiding in another dimension.

In this case, the only possibility is to hide with the help of enchantment or illusion. In either case, anyone who can stay by Zhang Liang's side without being discovered must be much stronger than him.

Zhang Liang looked at the man carefully. He had a head full of white hair and was wearing a tattered Taoist robe. His face was simple and peaceful, his eyes were clear and deep, and his whole body exuded a Taoist charm, as if he could embrace everything in the world within himself.

What's more interesting is that the old man was holding a little girl about three years old in his arms. The little girl had fair skin, big, bright eyes, and looked smart. She rubbed her stomach with one hand, with an expression of "I'm hungry, give me something to eat", which was simply adorable.

"Little girl, it was you who was talking to me just now!" Zhang Liang said with a smile, looking at the little girl in the old man's arms.

"Yes, you've been dawdling for too long. Xiaomeng is starving!" The little girl said while rubbing her belly. Her expression was really hilarious.

"Your name is Xiaomeng?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile, but he was shocked in his heart.

"Yes, yes, my name is Xiaomeng, what's your name?" Xiaomeng asked naively.

"My name is Zhang Liang, you can call me Brother Zifang!" Zhang Liang smiled slightly, then bowed to the old man: "Greetings, Senior Bei Mingzi!"

"Hey, do you know me?" The old man, or Bei Mingzi, seemed a little surprised.

"There are not many masters like you in the world today. Plus, the aura in your body seems to be able to contain everything. Isn't that what it means when the North Sea swallows the sky?" Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Haha... interesting, kid, you have a unique vision. I am indeed Bei Mingzi from the Taoist Tianzong. I am sorry to disturb you by visiting me without permission!" Bei Mingzi said with a smile.

Zhang Liang didn't show any strange expression on his face, but he cursed in his heart, "Does the old guy feel embarrassed? He who comes uninvited is a thief, an old thief!" Looking at Xiao Meng who was still staring at him with wide eyes, Zhang Liang added softly, "A little thief."

However, reality is stronger than people. Judging from Bei Mingzi's methods just now, he must be at a level above that of a grandmaster. Such a master is far beyond Zhang Liang's current ability to contend with, and he is afraid that he cannot even take on one of his moves.

In this world, the realm above the Grandmaster is called the Land of Immortals, which means that when one cultivates to this level, he is no longer a mortal and possesses all kinds of magical abilities.

For example, walking in the air, catching the wind as a sword, exhaling thunder, stepping on fire without burning, entering water without drowning, etc., just like the immortals in myths and legends. To reach the realm of immortals on land, even if you don't understand the real method of cultivating immortals, you will naturally understand some strange methods.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The little girl Xiaomeng was rubbing her belly, rolling her big eyes and looking like "I'm starving to death". She was super cute.

Zhang Liang guessed that Xiao Meng was really hungry. If Bei Mingzi had been observing him since he started refining the elixir, plus the time it took Zhang Liang to practice and break through, at least two hours would have passed. How could a child endure not eating for such a long time?

"Wait a moment, Senior. I'll get some food!"

Zhang Liang bowed slightly, walked directly to the door, and told the servants to prepare light food, and specifically asked them to make some cakes and sweets that children would like.

"Sister Xiaomeng, food will be available soon, just wait a little longer!" Zhang Liang said to Xiaomeng with a smile.

Zhang Liang thought he was very friendly but Xiao Meng ignored him completely. She just lay on Bei Mingzi and raised her little hand to try to pull Bei Mingzi's beard, which made Zhang Liang feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't mind it, little boy. Xiaomeng rarely comes into contact with strangers!" Bei Mingzi put Xiaomeng on the ground and said to Zhang Liang with a smile.

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, and couldn't help but look at Xiaomeng carefully. It was hard for him to imagine that such a lively and lovely little girl would become the almost emotionless "Master Xiaomeng" in the future.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang's eyes fixed and his expression changed drastically, as if he saw something terrible on Xiao Meng.

"Soul-devouring body. No, it's a broken soul-devouring body!" Zhang Liang was horrified.

At this moment, in Zhang Liang's perception, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth around Xiaomeng seemed to be attracted by Xiaomeng and directly flowed into her body. Although most of it was blocked by a layer of barrier, a lot of spiritual energy still flowed into Xiaomeng's body.

The concentration of this spiritual energy is comparable to Zhang Liang's cultivation speed during the middle stage of foundation building.

But Zhang Liang knew very well that Xiaomeng did not practice at all, but the spiritual energy was spontaneously attracted by Xiaomeng's physique.

The Soul Devouring Body is known as one of the fastest physiques in the world of immortal cultivation. Others need to devour spiritual energy from the void bit by bit to refine it, but the Soul Devouring Body can spontaneously devour spiritual energy all the time. The higher the cultivation level, the faster the devouring speed.

Everything has its pros and cons. Although the Soul-Devouring Body can be cultivated quickly, once the speed of refining spiritual energy cannot keep up with the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, the meridians will be broken at best, and the body will explode and die at worst.
