Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

If Chu Mi were to ask, "Little guy, you choose one: join us or join Aman's side. Don't say you're not joining either."

"You only have one chance to make a choice. If you continue to dodge the issue there, we might both take action against you."

"Don't pin your hopes on Aman. If I'm determined to kill you, he can't protect you. So please choose carefully."

Chu Mi was not afraid of threatening Hai, thus making him choose to join the other side.

Chapter 1410 Unreasonable

In fact, Chu Mi is also a bad person. He had already thought it through. If Li Xiu joined his side, it would be fine. He just needed to take back his treasure and leave his people to be dealt with by those two bullied disciples.

If Li Xiu doesn't agree and chooses to join the Giant Strength Sect, then he will take advantage of Li Xiu's inattention to launch a sneak attack. He doesn't care about saving face; there's no way he'll let this kind of guy leave alive.

Chu Mi also sensed Li Xiu's calm and profound mindset in the face of adversity. This guy was extremely cunning, and if the seeds of hatred had already been sown in his heart, then when he grew up and came back to take revenge, it might not be something that a mere Mystic Sect could withstand.

Since Chu Mi could think of these things, Li Xiu naturally wouldn't be completely clueless either. After all, Hu Kou was a transmigrator who had experienced many, many worlds and had seen a great many good and bad people.

He also knew that he had very few options left, and he was still unsure of what to do. All he knew was that Chu Mi hated him to the core and was also wary of his growing power.

However, he did not know what attitude the Giant Strength Sect held towards him. Although he could tell from what the sect leader, Aman, had said that the sect leader was not an unreasonable person.

However, he was unsure whether Ah Man appreciated his personality or was only after his future treasure. If Ah Man had even a little appreciation for him, perhaps he could still save himself from this situation. Otherwise, jumping into either of these two fire pits would mean certain death.

All Li Xiu could do now was stall, and he just kept putting it off. He sat there cross-legged and said, "Fine, I'll give you the answer, but it's really too sudden for you two to give me a choice. Could you give me some time?"

Let me analyze this carefully.

"And could you please take two minutes to briefly describe what you can learn from each sect? That would help me make a better choice, wouldn't it?"

Hearing Hai say that, Aman didn't give Chu Mi a chance to continue speaking. He spoke first, "Just come here and learn whatever you want. We can definitely teach you what you want to learn."

"Our Giant Strength Sect is not like those small sects. We have a very mature and complete training system. Although the examples you see outside are mainly focused on Qi cultivation, our sect is still very strong in other aspects."

Seeing that Ah Man was trying to pull people up, Chu Mi said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. How complicated do you think a guy with all his brawn can be? Their sect is terrible in every way except for their physical training."

"Although you won't learn any truly core techniques by joining our Mystic Arts Sect, it will definitely be better than joining the Mighty Force Sect."

"At least if you join us, you can keep your life and live an ordinary life. Isn't that good?" If Chu Mi didn't want to waste any more words with Li Xiu, she would resort to threats directly. She wasn't afraid that Li Xiu would agree to her demands. At worst, she would just take care of him and everything would be fine.

Li Xiu also had a lot of headaches dealing with these unreasonable thugs. He wasn't afraid of those who could outwit him, but he was afraid of those who were stronger than him and still acted unreasonably.

Chapter 1411 The Taoist Hongjun is Going to Preach the Dao

Li Xiu cursed inwardly, "What happened to the dignity of a master? How can you be so shameless? To deal with a novice so much weaker than yourself, you have to use all your skills to threaten him. Aren't you afraid of retribution later?"

Of course, Li Xiu could only complain in his heart; he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, his life was still in someone else's hands. Li Xiu could only pray that something would happen in the world soon, otherwise he would probably have a hard time getting through this ordeal.

At this moment, Li Xiu once again asked Li Duotian in his heart, "What's the situation outside? Is there any chance?"

But what arrived was still bad news from Li Duotian. "It's no good, brother, it's still no good. There are more and more people, and it's hard to create a riot."

Liu Xiu is now caught in a pincer movement. Not only is Li Duotian bringing bad news, but he also can't hold out much longer against Aman and Chu Mi. Aman and Chu Mi naturally know why Li Xiu is doing this, so they won't give him much time.

Next, Ah Man spoke first. "Kid, have you thought it through? Stop trying to stall for time. You're definitely not leaving today. If you want to leave, you can only come with one of the two of us."

Li Xiu was also in a bind. Could it be that he had only been here a short time and had already encountered a powerful enemy who would kill him?

He was unwilling to accept this, but what else could he do? Thinking of this, Li Xiu even wanted to fight to the death, so he prepared to place his hand on the Hongmeng Sword, ready to fight to the death.

At this crucial moment, a mysterious sound suddenly echoed through the space, as if it had originated from within Mount Buzhou itself, leaving everyone baffled.

The voice then said, "I am Hongjun Daoren. I have recently attained enlightenment and am preparing to give a lecture. I invite all those who are destined to come and exchange ideas."

Upon hearing this voice, Li Xiu himself didn't react much, but on the other side, A'man and Chu Mi immediately abandoned Li Xiu's affairs and said to their disciples, "Hurry up and go to Hongjun Daoren's lecture. It's a once-in-a-century event, so you must seize this opportunity. Perhaps your chance will be broken this time."

Chu Mi said the same thing, urging the disciples to cherish this opportunity for the lecture.

Li Xiu was also surprised to see this scene. They did not expect that this Hongjun Daoist would have such a powerful appeal. At this time, Li Xiu sorted out the memories in his mind and found that this world was still related to what the original version of this world should be like.

Moreover, Buzhou Mountain has only recently descended, and this sermon is very likely related to the secrets hidden within the mountain, so it is only natural that these guys don't have time to pay attention to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu had no idea whether this was a coincidence or simply a matter of luck, having narrowly escaped death. Li Duotian, who was on the outermost edge, was also completely bewildered as he watched the people inside gradually disperse.

Although he had also heard the seductive music emanating from the Taoist Hongjun, he didn't know what it meant. Li Duotian asked, "Brother, what exactly is going on?"

Li Xiu couldn't explain it either, so he could only say, "Let's go take a look too."

Chapter 1412 is full of people

"Shouldn't we take this opportunity to lay low for a while?"

Li Xiu replied that there was no need. In fact, Li Xiu was also very worried because doing so would definitely be taking a risk. But there was no way around it. There was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that if he missed this opportunity, he would miss something very important.

So, Li Xiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and venture out, exploring the area as he went. Perhaps after this ordeal, he wouldn't be so helpless in dealing with them again. Therefore, this was a significant opportunity for Li Xiu.

Since Hongjun Daoren's voice came, it has never stopped. In addition to introducing who he is and what he wants to do, he also kept repeating the location, which happens to be the Zixiao Palace, which is not far from Buzhou Mountain.

The voice of Hongjun Daoist never disappeared; he would appear almost every hour, as if he wanted to reach everyone. Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, but now was not the time to be thinking about such things.

Since they had chosen to go and see for themselves, Li Xiu and Li Duotian needed to be prepared. They couldn't just go directly; they had to wait and hide until Aman and Chu Mi's army had left.

However, it underestimated the influence of Hongjun Daoist. After the news spread, Aman and Chu Mi led the other members of Zhongtai there at an exaggerated speed, as if they were afraid of not being able to grab a suitable seat.

Unexpectedly, he was so lucky. Soon he saw Li Duotian on the outermost edge and went over to him, saying, "Alright, let's not wait here anymore. It seems those guys are more eager than we thought. Let's hurry up and go."

"Don't miss this great opportunity."

"I will follow your orders, brother." Li Duotian nodded readily in agreement.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Zixiao Palace, and from all directions, many people were also rushing towards Zixiao Palace. Even people from other distant border regions flocked to the palace.

In short, the Zixiao Palace where Hongjun Daoist is now located is the center of the entire world. Everyone flocks here as if on a pilgrimage, and even those novices who have just embarked on the path of cultivation come here to try their luck.

Perhaps if they understood a single insightful word from the Taoist Hongjun, they would rise to great heights.

Li Xiu naturally wouldn't have such a fickle mindset. He still felt that growth should be done step by step. However, since he had sensed this opportunity, he had to go. Moreover, he could sense that the internal energy cultivation he lacked might be completely resolved during this lecture by Daoist Hongjun.

There's a reason why Li Xiu hasn't been cultivating internal energy. His physique and the application of his techniques have already reached a level beyond the ordinary. If he can't be matched with a truly top-tier internal energy, it would undoubtedly be a huge waste. Li Xiu, who pursues perfection and wants to break through his limits, naturally wants to be the best in every aspect.

Hongjun Daoist was about to tell you that the commotion caused by this matter was far greater than Li Xiu had imagined. From the moment the news first spread, within about an hour, the area outside Zixiao Palace was already packed with people, truly a 360-degree, no-dead-angle crowd.

Chapter 1413 Arrival at Zixiao Palace

Basically, everywhere you looked there were people, and they were standing very close together, like a river of people crossing the river.

When Li Xiu arrived here two hours later, all he could see was a sea of ​​people. He couldn't even see what the Zixiao Palace looked like. He could only vaguely make out the top of the Zixiao Palace, with a towering spire that seemed to reach into the clouds. He couldn't see anything else.

Li Xiu couldn't help but complain to Li Duotian, "When we first came to this world, we didn't sense many people. How come there are so many people now?"

Li Duotian still answered, "I don't know."

Li Xiu was actually thinking to himself, it seems that the human reproductive ability is always top-notch. He could only complain for so long, he still had to wait for the main character to arrive.

Hongjun Daoist was also fully aware of everything that happened outside Zixiao Palace, and there was a reason why he gave this sermon.

When Li Xiu emerged from Buzhou Mountain after obtaining the Hongmeng Sword, Hongjun Daoist also felt that the inheritance of his Hongjun Sword had been accepted by others.

This was a matter of fate for both of them. Li Xiu needed to obtain a cultivation technique that matched the Hongmeng Sword through it, while Hongjun Daoist wanted to see what kind of person would be able to obtain his inheritance and be accepted by it. This led to the occurrence of this lecture.

In reality, Hongjun Daoist was able to sense that Li Xiu had obtained his inheritance, but he did not interfere with everything Li Xiu experienced, since he could not change the course of the Heavenly Dao's cycle.

However, he still chose to help Li Xiu overcome the setback he had suffered, as if he were planting a seed of good karma in advance.

Of course, Hongjun Daoist attached great importance to this sermon. In order to ensure that all the people in the human realm who wanted to come and listen could do so, he decided to officially begin his sermon in twelve hours.

Those outside Zixiao Palace, feeling bored, started sitting in groups and chatting with acquaintances to pass the time. In short, they were all eagerly anticipating when the talk would actually begin.

For Li Xiu, this period has been rather boring. What he lacks now is a baptism, a cultivation method that truly suits him and complements his own style. Nothing else can improve him anymore.

Outside of the Purple Cloud Palace, he couldn't possibly be foolish enough to take out the Primordial Sword to show off to others, or to continue researching its other functions. If he did that, it would be no different from offering himself up for suicide.

So these few hours were extremely boring for Li Xiu, so boring that he took a nap leaning on Li Duotian's shoulder.

Fortunately, time passed quickly in this prehistoric world. When Li Xiu regained consciousness, it was almost time for Hongjun Daoren to give his sermon. Li Xiu stood up and looked behind him, only to find that the crowd was still enormous, about four or five times more than when he first arrived. Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "There are just too many people."

Chapter 1414 The Strange Big Bird

The sermon by Hongjun Daoren was about to begin, and Hongjun Daoren was a very ritualistic person. Just before he announced that the sermon was about to begin, a strange bird flew out from Zixiao Palace. This bird was golden all over, but it had nine claws and looked like a prehistoric beast.

After the large bird flew out of Zixiao Palace, it circled the monitoring point at the top of Zixiao Palace nine times. Others may not be familiar with this ritual, but for Hongjun Daoist, the number of circles also has a significance.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for anyone to circle more than 6 times, but this time he directly started at the highest level. It seems that this sermon is also a very important matter for him. Perhaps some people who will change the course of the world will emerge from this sermon.

As promised, Master Hongjun's sermon began. As soon as Master Hongjun opened his mouth, the chattering crowd below immediately fell silent and listened attentively to his sermon.

However, this time, Master Hongjun dropped a bombshell on everyone, saying before he even began, "If anyone can gain a breakthrough in their understanding during this sermon, they will have the opportunity to come to Zixiao Palace and receive individual instruction."

The moment Hongjun Daoist uttered these words, the people outside Zixiao Palace erupted in excitement. Clearly, they all knew that Hongjun Daoist was the number one person of the human race with extraordinary strength, but very few people had actually seen Hongjun Daoist in person.

Because every time Hongjun Daoren travels through the void, he is very carefree. He may stay in one place for a short time, and the identities he uses are also very strange. It is as if he is traveling in the mortal world and playing in the human world. A shepherd boy or an old man selling charcoal may be the true form of Hongjun Daoren.

That's why the people outside Zixiao Palace reacted so strongly when they heard that Hongjun Daoist was going to meet these students in his true identity.

However, Li Xiu had absolutely no interest in these matters. He came here to obtain a cultivation technique that suited him. After all, the current Holy Buddha System was not very obedient, and relying on it was unrealistic. Therefore, this number one human should be the last person Li Xiu could think of to consult.

As for those inspirational insights, they are probably not very necessary for Li Xiu, since he has already reached the limit of what he can break through.

Now he just wants a cultivation technique that will allow him to smoothly integrate into this primordial world, absorb the chaotic energy that other worlds don't have, return to his true self, overcome the final hurdle in his heart, and fulfill his ultimate dream.

However, it seemed that the Taoist Hongjun above understood what he was thinking. Just as Li Xiu was complaining about the Taoist Hongjun and dawdling around, the Taoist Hongjun's voice actually reached Li Xiu's ears.

Then Hongjun Daoist said to Li Xiu, "Little fellow, I know what you're thinking. As long as you have the ability to enter this Zixiao Palace, I guarantee you will get what you want."

It seemed that the voice came from Hongjun Daoist alone to him. After all, Li Xiu looked around and saw that everyone was staring at Zixiao Palace with great enthusiasm, and no one noticed the abnormality on his side.

It seems that his Hongmeng Sword must have been left behind by the Taoist Hongjun.
