Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Later, when I practiced the reverse version of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the excruciating pain was definitely a painful memory.

As Li Xiu reminisced about the days when he mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he gradually drifted off to sleep.

Li Xiu slept very soundly.

While Li Xiu was sleeping, his brain was constantly collecting and organizing all the memory fragments related to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

This is quite a job!

It's hard to say whether Li Xiu benefited from this misfortune.

After all, the human brain works several times more efficiently during sleep!

Moreover, many details that he couldn't have thought of had already been collected by Li Xiu's brain.

It can be said that Li Xiu had already completed the most difficult and complex task of compiling the information on the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms while he was asleep!

Seeing Li Xiu's expression, the system was utterly bewildered and muttered to itself, "This guy, is he really the chosen one?"

"Fine, since things have come to this point, I might as well go with the flow."

The system then took out a small bottle from the merit shop.

This little bottle contains a drop of colorful water.

That's right, it only contained a drop of water.

"It's a pity that only this last drop of water remains of the River of Oblivion." The system also showed a rare expression of heartache.

Then, the system delivered the last drop of the River of Oblivion to Li Xiu's lips.

Li Xiu himself had been laughing for so long that his lips were already cracked.

With the nourishment of such a drop of pure water, Li Xiu naturally absorbed it like a parched land receiving sweet rain.

And the effects of the water of the River of Oblivion were brought out to be exceptionally good.

This was something the system hadn't anticipated.

He truly hadn't expected Li Xiu to be so thirsty.

Even in his sleep, he could absorb an entire drop of the River of Oblivion in less than five seconds.

"What kind of monster is this? It should take a whole day to absorb, but it only took you five seconds!"

The system's worldview was once again challenged by Li Xiu.

However, Li Xiu, the person involved, was completely unaware of all of this.

In Li Xiu's dream world, he felt as if he were on a deserted island with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.

Meanwhile, Li Xiu was sunbathing on the island's coast, enjoying himself immensely.

No one knows how much time passed, but this idyllic life in the Peach Blossom Spring was suddenly destroyed!

On the small island where Li Xiu was sleeping, a sudden flood occurred.

Chapter 1316 Expectations

Dark clouds rolled in from the sky, a truly oppressive sight that threatened to crush the city.

The lightning bolts poured down on the island, shattering all the larger rocks on it.

The torrential rain poured down, and together with the rising seawater, it submerged the small island at a visible speed.

Li Xiu, who was on the island, was also in a great panic and could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed by the sea.

Because he couldn't swim, Li Xiu kept falling until he finally sank into the depths of the sea.

When Li Xiu dreamt of this place, he woke up in a cold sweat.

Li Xiu, too, figured out exactly what had happened to him.

It turned out that I was so engrossed in my cultivation that I was even cultivating in my dreams.

Or rather, Li Xiu has already given it his all to pass on this legacy.

However, Li Xiu had forgotten why he had been awakened.

"That's strange. Why did I have a nightmare out of the blue?" Li Xiu muttered to himself.

Little did they know that this effect was precisely a sign that they had mastered the "Book of Laughter and Forgetting".

After all, when a person forgets something, they can't recall anything related to it.

And Li Xiu, in that dazed and confused state, has completed the most difficult hurdle.

Now, in Li Xiu's memory, all the martial arts techniques he cultivated in his previous life have been completely forgotten.

Perhaps there are some cultivation techniques or something, which I still vaguely remember.

However, Li Xiu had completely forgotten everything behind that jade wall.

Even Li Xiu couldn't quite remember why he did it.

In fact, what Li Xiu didn't know was that only by discarding all mundane techniques could he create a truly unparalleled martial art!

Li Xiu is now one step closer to his goal!

Just as Li Xiu was still in a daze, the system's voice rang out again.

Li Xiu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the current Holy Buddha System was a bit strange.

How to be great?

The old system was always cold and impersonal, as if everyone owed it money.

The system today actually seemed a bit angry.

If the system knew what Li Xiu was thinking right now, it would definitely want to smash his head in.

"What the hell? System, I spent my merit points to give you a drop of precious River of Oblivion water. How can I not feel the pinch?"

If you still think that way, aren't you going to drive people crazy?

However, none of this will happen.

One person forgot, and the other felt a little guilty, so the matter was left unresolved.

The system's appearance this time was certainly not to congratulate Li Xiu, nor was it to collect a debt from him.

Instead, we congratulate him on completely completing the first phase of the task.

The system's voice came again. "Congratulations, Master, you have completed the first phase of the test."

"Both requirements have been perfectly fulfilled, and additional rewards have been received, exceeding system expectations."

"Therefore, the system does not intend to give the host any rewards this time."

"What the hell does this mean? I'm just being taken advantage of like this?" Li Xiu was naturally unhappy to hear this.

After all, I worked so hard, even though I can't remember what I went through.

However, seeing the enormous changes in himself, Li Xiu could guess that he hadn't suffered much.

Chapter 1317 Phase 2

"No way, if you don't give me a generous reward, I'm going to stay here." Seeing that the system was completely unmoved, Li Xiu started to act like a rogue.

The system was helpless; after all, it had been stuck with such a master, and there was nothing it could do.

However, the system also has its own way of thinking.

After all, she had already fooled Li Xiu once before she started practicing the Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

Once this happens once, it will happen again.

The system, quick-witted as ever, said to Li Xiu, "Given your excellent performance, the system has decided to open the second stage of the Inheritance Cave ahead of schedule."

"How to say?"

"Could there be many unexpected surprises inside this cave?"

When Li Xiu heard the system say this, his heart was also stirred.

After all, no one can ever have too much good stuff!

The system nodded and said, "Master can take a look at the cave where we are now."

Is there anything strange about this cave?

"No matter how you look at it, it looks terrible. It doesn't look like it contains anything good at all," Li Xiu retorted mercilessly.

It's no wonder Li Xiu complained like that, after all, there was only a table and a futon in this cave, nothing else.

The system calmly replied, "Please sit on that cushion, Master. This will be the key to unlocking the second stage."

"I see." Li Xiu did as the system instructed.

Because he had been laughing so much, Li Xiu hadn't really had a break.

When he drifted off to sleep, he simply lay down on the ground, not taking the futon seriously at all.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu transmitted his voice to Li Duotian, saying, "Li Duotian, do you also have a futon over there?"

Having not heard Li Xiu's voice for a long time, Li Duotian was also bored. Finally hearing Li Xiu's voice, he immediately replied, "Yes, Master, a not-so-large futon."

If Li Xiu were to arrive at that cave, he would be very surprised.
