Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 99: Good and evil follow people, blessings and misfortunes are self-inflicted!

In the underground cave.

Witnessing his little brother's blood and energy surge, his bones and meridians compressing to the limit, on the verge of breaking through to the Iron Bone stage, Liu Zimo stood calmly beside his father, feeling quite pleased.

But in the next second.

His mind shook, sensing that the spiritual prohibition he had intentionally left on Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin as a precaution seemed to have been triggered at the same time.

"Something's wrong!"

A slight change appeared in Liu Zimo's eyes.

Without needing to think, he knew that something unexpected had happened in the villa.

Although only the prohibitions within Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin had been triggered for now, Sun Hao, who had been guarding his little uncle, was temporarily unharmed.

But at least it indicated that someone had infiltrated the villa, attacked Liu and Wei, and was about to threaten the safety of his little uncle!

"Has a high-level demonic beast infiltrated?"

"Or has someone else from the Dali Temple come to die?"

Liu Zimo's face darkened as he made his conjectures.

Without any delay, after informing his father beside him, he disappeared from the spot with a swish.

In an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Zimo's figure teleported.

He appeared directly in front of Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin, who were lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Sweeping his gaze, he saw that although the two were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger.

And it seemed that his little uncle and Sun Hao, who were in the underground basement, had not been disturbed. Liu Zimo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he turned his gaze towards the invaders not far away.

"I never expected that it would be Taoists from the Dragon Tiger Mountain.?"

Seeing the Taoist robes worn by the six people, Liu Zimo instantly understood their intentions.

However, he didn't expect that Dragon Tiger Mountain was thousands of kilometers away from Luozhou, with numerous obstacles and dangers along the way, yet these Taoists had risked their lives to come so quickly!

According to reason, Jingyong and Xuanqing should not have such a big influence in Dragon Tiger Mountain.

But no matter what, since they had come, they shouldn't think about leaving!

Looking at the red light shadows floating above their heads.

The leading old Taoist, with a purple hue mixed in the red, exuding a purple aura, just like the wise monk from before, possessed the qualifications and potential to impact the Holy Realm.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zimo's mouth.

Very well.

Another batch of proactive lambs to the slaughter.

Unfortunately, the Daoist in the Golden Body stage lying on the ground, if it weren't for his spiritual prohibition backfiring and causing his death, the lock shadow on his head would have been almost the same.

Now he died so easily, it was truly a waste.

Without wasting any words with these people, Liu Zimo's mind moved, directly locking all the red lock shadows above their heads.

[Binding successful! Your good brother Zhao Beixuan is online, currently bindable objects (57/60)]

[...]

[Binding successful! Your good brother Jing'an is online, currently bindable objects (60/60)]

Six bound, four remaining. The two middle-aged Taoists had to be temporarily set aside because the quota was full.

But it didn't matter, since they had all become trapped lambs, it made no difference whether they were harvested early or late!

"Who are you?!"

At this moment, Zhao Beixuan also noticed Liu Zimo's presence. He looked at this young man who suddenly appeared in front of them with a vigilant expression and asked sternly.

Seeing Liu Zimo's age, Zhao Beixuan instinctively felt that he definitely wasn't the master-level spiritual cultivator hiding behind the scenes.

After all, advancing in spiritual cultivation was as difficult as climbing a mountain, much slower than the improvement in martial arts cultivation, not just ten times slower.

Whether it's him or the Zhang Zhenren from Longhu Mountain, they have all spent three to five decades in seclusion and cultivation in the mountains before barely reaching the Lingtong Realm or the Linghai Realm.

But this young man in front of me, the stubble on his chin has just grown out. At most, he's only twenty-one or twenty-two years old. There's no way he could have a spiritual cultivation comparable to the Linghai Realm.

Therefore, Zhao Beixuan concluded that this person must not have the spiritual cultivation left by the two guards in their bodies.

"Liu Zimo?"

"Are you Liu Zimo?!"

After carefully observing Liu Zimo and recalling the age and approximate appearance information he had heard before, Zhao Beixuan quickly guessed Liu Zimo's identity. At that moment, the killing intent and hatred in his eyes surged uncontrollably.

"It's you who killed my disciple Jingyong and my grandson Xuanqing, and even made people write banners to publicly defame their innocence?"

"At such a young age, to have such a treacherous heart, you truly deserve to die!"

As he spoke, Zhao Beixuan, consumed by anger, seemed to have forgotten the threat of the mysterious spiritual cultivator. He fully unleashed his mastery will and spiritual power, and without any hesitation, directly pressed towards Liu Zimo.

If it were an ordinary martial cultivator, even a martial arts grandmaster of the same realm as Zhao Beixuan, when faced with such a combined attack of spiritual and martial arts, they would inevitably be momentarily stunned and let the opponent slaughter them due to a momentary lapse in concentration.

Liu Zimo narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that this old Taoist made such a move, clearly aiming to take his life, there was no need for him to be polite anymore.

"Hmph! Seeking death!"

With a cold snort, the holy intent of martial arts instantly erupted and poured out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With three consecutive explosions, the three people surrounding Zhao Beixuan, just like Jinghen before, had their skulls suddenly burst open, falling to the ground dead.

Zhao Beixuan also spat out blood, his sea of consciousness trembling, and he directly slumped to the ground.

The two middle-aged Taoists standing behind Zhao Beixuan, although not injured, were splattered with brain matter and blood on their bodies and faces.

Their minds trembled, their bodies trembling, and they were so frightened that they froze in place, unable to move at all.

After freeing up three spots, Liu Zimo once again manipulated his mind and locked the remaining two middle-aged Taoists' shadows above their heads.

Then, without any hesitation, he used the same technique again.

In an instant, the last two Tianjiao Gate disciples surrounding Zhao Beixuan also fell to the ground dead.

At the same time, similar prompt sounds began to constantly ring in Liu Zimo's ears:

[Your good brother Jing'an Daoist harbored ill intentions towards you, severing the bond of brotherhood. Under your counterattack, he died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!]

[The 'Stealing Heaven' innate talent passive has been triggered. You have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by your good brother Jing'an Daoist before his death. Basic illusion array +100, bewitching art +100, martial arts cultivation +30, spiritual power +30, soul strength +20.]

[Your good brother Jing'an Daoist has gone offline. Currently, you can bind to another target (59/60).]

[...]

After five consecutive prompts, Liu Zimo's martial arts cultivation and spiritual power cultivation skyrocketed once again.

The generous gifts left behind by the five Lingwu dual-cultivators who died at the same time far exceeded Liu Zimo's expectations.

Especially the increase in spiritual power and soul strength, it was unprecedented!

Within his sea of consciousness, the space expanded, the origin surged, and his spiritual power cultivation directly soared to the peak of the Linghai Realm.

Yao Lingling, who was in the midst of the tide, was awakened by the earth-shattering changes in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

This Tianjiao Worm stared in astonishment at the expansion of Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness space, which had increased by more than three times in just a few breaths, and then collapsed!

Such a heaven-defying cultivation speed, such an unreasonable breakthrough frequency!

Who the hell could bear it?!

Encountering such a freak, even if their ancestor of the Lingchi Worm Clan came, they would probably end up kneeling as well!

"Forget it, let it be destroyed. I won't survive anyway. Instead of that, why bother struggling?!"

At this point, Yao Lingling was already too weak to complain. It simply lay down in the confinement space, motionless.

It wasn't until Liu Zimo inadvertently poured ten times more spiritual essence into it than usual that it regained some vitality and instinctively began to devour and cultivate.

Outside the sea of consciousness.

After killing all five Daoists in the Golden Body Realm, Liu Zimo looked coldly at Zhao Beixuan, whose face had turned pale from fear.

The reason he didn't immediately kill him was not out of pity or fear of his Dragon and Tiger Mountain Elder attire.

It was because a Grandmaster who was also in the Spirit Communication Realm like Zhao Beixuan must have a wealth of secret knowledge from Dragon and Tiger Mountain stored in his mind.

It would be a waste to just kill him with a single palm strike.

It would be better to make use of him before he died and extract all the remaining value from him.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Zimo completely shattered Zhao Beixuan's Qi Sea and meridians.

While disabling his martial arts cultivation, he also sealed and imprisoned his remaining spiritual consciousness.

An Elder of Dragon and Tiger Mountain who was alive and in his right mind would be more valuable to them.

After Liu Zimo removed the pressure of his Holy Intent, Zhao Beixuan, who had finally regained his freedom, collapsed to the ground due to his cultivation being disabled and his meridians being damaged.

"He's actually in the Holy Realm! He's actually in the Holy Realm!"

"A martial artist in his twenties in the Holy Realm, how is that possible? It makes no sense!"

"Even our Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Zhang Zhenren is only at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm. How could someone in this world have already stepped into the Holy Realm?!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!"

Zhao Beixuan sat on the ground, staring blankly at Liu Zimo, muttering incoherently.

Until this moment, he still couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was already a Saint-level powerhouse!

It was only at this moment that he truly realized what kind of monstrous existence they had provoked!

A Saint-level warrior in his twenties!

And it seemed that even his spiritual cultivation had reached the Grandmaster level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Such a person couldn't be described simply as a genius or a prodigy.

This was simply a son born from the heavens!

No wonder the other party dared to ruthlessly kill Jingyong and Xuanqing, and even hung their bodies on the exterior wall of the commercial building in the city center, without caring at all about the possible retaliation from Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

So, this was Liu Zimo's reliance and confidence!

So, the one who truly underestimated his own abilities and had a narrow view of the world was Zhao Beixuan himself!

"Liu Ge, Wei Ge, can you still stand?"

At this moment, Liu Zimo turned around and asked Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin.

While speaking, he also handed each of them a porcelain bottle containing the Earth Pulse Spirit Spring, for them to use in healing and restoring their qi and blood.

Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin took a deep breath, supporting each other as they got up from the ground. They grinned and a hint of relief appeared on their faces as they answered in unison:

"Don't worry, Advisor Liu, we may be a bit battered, but we won't die!"

Seeing the porcelain bottles handed to them by Liu Zimo and smelling the fragrance of the spring water overflowing from them, both of them brightened up and reached out to take the bottles, immediately drinking up the spirit spring inside without hesitation.

In an instant, in just a few breaths, the aura emanating from Liu and Yuan's bodies rapidly improved and strengthened, and their mental states also greatly recovered.

"You two stay here and watch this old Daoist. I'll go down to the basement and take a look!"

After seeing the two of them recover, Liu Zimo casually instructed before stepping towards the entrance to the basement.

Before he even entered, the door to the stairwell opened from the inside. It was Sun Hao, who had heard the commotion outside and knew that Liu Zimo had returned, so he opened the door in advance.

"Advisor Liu!"

Sun Hao stood up and saluted Liu Zimo, reporting the current status of Zhao Hongzhang.

The commotion that had happened above did not affect Zhao Hongzhang, who was in a meditative state.

Even at this moment, Zhao Hongzhang still maintained his reclining posture, showing no signs of waking up.

"You've worked hard!"

Liu Zimo nodded lightly at Sun Hao, not showing any dissatisfaction with Sun Hao hiding in the basement all this time.

On the contrary, Sun Hao's main task and responsibility were to guard Zhao Hongzhang, who was in front of him.

Therefore, it was the most correct choice for Sun Hao to continue hiding without being discovered and invaded by external enemies.

If Sun Hao had considered the feelings of his comrades outside and rushed out of the basement without regard for everything, it would have exposed Zhao Hongzhang's hiding place.

Liu Zimo had to consider whether this internal guard was still suitable for protecting his nephew.

A moment passed.

Accompanied by Sun Hao, Liu Zimo quietly entered the second floor of the basement.

Seeing his nephew lying on the sofa, sound asleep, breathing steadily, and without any problems, Liu Zimo finally felt relieved.

He took out two bottles of "Earth Vein Spirit Spring," one bottle was given to Sun Hao as a reward to help him improve his cultivation.

The other bottle was quietly opened and manipulated with mental power, trying to slowly feed the water from the bottle into Zhao Hongzhang's mouth.

The spirit spring water melted on his lips, and Zhao Hongzhang didn't even have to deliberately swallow it. It vaporized directly into his body along with his breathing rhythm.

Under the absorption and refinement of the breathing technique, these spiritual energy quickly turned into extremely pure blood energy and internal cultivation, flowing into his meridians, constantly nourishing his body.

"It really works!"

Liu Zimo's eyes lit up as if he had found a wonderful method to continuously replenish his nephew's spiritual power and physical strength, making him feel very happy.

Although the "Earth Vein Spirit Spring" was precious, it could be produced in a fixed quantity every day in their spiritual land.

Not to mention anything else, just providing his nephew with "three meals" a day would be more than enough!

Soon.

The approximately 20 milliliters of spirit spring water in the bottle was completely absorbed by Zhao Hongzhang. His pale complexion, which had become slightly white due to not eating for several days, once again turned rosy.

If this state continued, even if he didn't wake up for another ten days, there would be no problem with his physical condition.

"Just like before, protect him well and don't let him be disturbed in the slightest!"

After everything was done, Liu Zimo gave Sun Hao another instruction before leaving quietly.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the villa courtyard.

It was Yang Sisi, Ye Feihong, Cai Jianghong, and Feng Yuchen who arrived together.

Accompanying them were four middle-aged Taoists dressed in dragon and tiger robes.

However, these four Taoists were all seriously injured, their hands and feet bound, and they were thrown next to Zhao Beixuan.

With just a glance, Liu Zimo sensed two familiar auras from the four Taoists.

Two of the Taoists had their sea of consciousness forcibly invaded by Xiao Feihong's mental power, completely destroying their spiritual foundation. They were in a state of mental collapse and were in extreme pain.

The other two had their dantian and qi sea destroyed by Lou Yuchen's internal energy, their martial arts cultivation was gone, but their mental state was normal, and their consciousness was very clear.

It turned out that Lou Yuchen had accidentally opened up a sea of consciousness space before. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to deal with these Taoists who cultivated both spiritual and martial arts.

"Advisor Liu, these two individuals secretly collected the bodies of Jingyong and Xuanqing in the commercial building and threatened to cause trouble for Advisor Liu. Seeing that they didn't seem like good people, I took the liberty to take action and captured them!" Lou Yuchen quickly explained when he saw Liu Zimo's gaze.

Originally, he thought that the two Taoists he caught in the city center were just isolated cases.

But unexpectedly, whether it was in the military office or in the eastern suburban villa, there were traces of these Taoists' activities.

Seeing the six dead bodies of the Taoists on the ground, Lou Yuchen couldn't help but feel shocked.

These disciples of the Dragon Tiger Mountain really didn't know the meaning of life and death!

They dared to come directly to Advisor Liu's home and cause trouble. They were truly audacious and didn't know how to write the word "death"!

Didn't they bother to inquire about Advisor Liu's current cultivation realm before coming to cause trouble? Was it something they could afford to offend?

Not to mention anything else, just half an hour ago, five grandmasters from the Dali Temple were sent to the military office for tea by Advisor Liu.

If these people had a little bit of brains or carefully investigated the news, they would never be foolish enough to come directly to his door to seek death!

"In the end, it's these disciples of the major sects. They are arrogant and used to being domineering, never putting anyone in their eyes. That's why they ended up in this disaster!"

"It's their own doing, good and evil are self-made, they can't blame others!"

Thinking back to when he first encountered Jingshan and Jingde, the two Taoists in the city center.

The two of them looked down on him, didn't put him in their eyes at all, and immediately took action with a murderous aura. Lou Yuchen knew that these Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoists deserved to lose and deserved to die.
