Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

There's no such thing as a second update; slacking off is super fun.

74. Terrified

The young man's eyes flashed with disbelief and astonishment as he stared at Yun Ping, who was grinning smugly as he slowly rose from the pool of blood.

Can a human still move normally after a hole the size of an arm is pierced through their chest cavity?

He believed the answer was no, unless one was a powerful cultivator who had already reached the Void Realm, only then could one detach from the physical body and control one's own soul.

Ke Yunping had no cultivation and no spiritual root. Looking into the blood cave, his body was completely empty. Not to mention spiritual energy, not even a single meridian could be seen!

This corpse, whose every feature indicated that he was dead, was now standing in front of him, with dead fish eyes, smiling normally.

Is it ordinary?

Whether it's his demeanor or his clothing, Yunping is an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.

But an ordinary person wouldn't be able to stand up even if their chest cavity was pierced.

Furthermore, after losing such a large amount of blood, one would not appear radiant, relaxed, or weak.

The young man stared at him warily and in horror, his words still booming like a bell—

"You shouldn't still be alive."

Indeed, from a normal perspective, Yunping should be a dead man.

Yunping, who was presumed dead, helplessly spread his hands, "But I'm alive and well, standing right in front of you."

"That's what I don't understand."

The young man's divine sense, as surging as the ocean waves, swept across Yun Ping's entire body in an instant, trying to find the secret of his immortality.

However, the divine sense swept through without any hindrance.

The conclusion reached, however, made the young man himself doubt his own divine sense!

Nothing at all.

Just as one could see and hear, the young man had no aura of magical artifacts, no techniques to conceal his aura, and no spiritual root to carry spiritual energy.

He was like a useless person who couldn't cultivate, an ordinary mortal with only a few decades of lifespan before aging and dying.

That's impossible.

Noticing the young man's shocked and confused expression out of the corner of his eye, Yun Ping chuckled, didn't even glance at him, squatted down, and waved to the little demon dog not far away.

"Little Lei, come over here."

This manner of beckoning to stray dogs on the street would be considered a pure insult by most intelligent canine monsters.

However, this dignified peak Void Realm master, the Thunder Pool Lord of the Lightning Sect ruins, whose casually created clone could summon the entire city's beasts—actually wagged its tail happily under this pet-like gesture.

Yes, like a domesticated dog that has been trained for a long time seeing its owner, it opened its mouth happily and kept wagging its little tail, letting the lightning on it, which was enough to kill a cultivator in the Transcendent Stage, flash wildly.

The next second—

"Ow!"

Amidst the thunder and lightning, the palm-sized demon dog transformed into purple and blue lightning, instantly leaving a large, circular crater filled with raging lightning before leaping into Yun Ping's arms.

Its round eyes showed excited joy, its little tail wagged back and forth, while it snuggled in Yunping's arms and stuck out its pink, barbed little tongue to lick Yunping's cheek.

It's worth mentioning that this little guy's tongue is also tinged with something; when it licks Lao Yun's skin, it makes a crackling, electric-like sound.

—To be honest, it made Lao Yun quite itchy.

Yunping slowly pulled Xiao Leizi off his face, then helplessly hugged it with both hands, staring at the overly excited little guy.

"Alright, alright, it's only been a few hundred years since we last met~ Did you miss me that much?"

"Aw! Aww!"

It let out a joyful bark, devoid of any dignity, just like a domestic dog.

Yunping seemed to understand the two brief calls, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Hmm... it was definitely my fault for not coming to see you, but I've been quite busy, you know~ Besides, I came to see you, so please don't be mad at me~"

"Ouch!"

—This time the cry sounded somewhat dissatisfied, but still very excited.

After hearing this, Yunping slowly smiled. He put Xiao Leizi on the ground and whispered to him.

"Okay, I know. I also brought you a few dragon bones this time. Don't worry, these dragon bones are more durable and can keep you chewing for hundreds of years."

"Awoo~ Awoo~"

Judging from the little guy's cries, it seems very happy.

But it's still just a puppy, so it's perfectly normal for it to like chewing on bones, right?

Although it is dragon bone.

"..."

On the other hand, the young man, who had witnessed the entire process of the interspecies communication between the man and the dog, and whose body shone with a divine radiance, was completely stunned.

Why would a bloodthirsty and murderous monster be so close to Yunping?

Judging from this guy's behavior, he completely treats Yunping as his master! Wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue...

A dignified Void Realm demon beast, about to transcend to Sainthood and defy the heavens, is actually kept as a pet by such an ordinary person?

--hiss

He gasped, his gaze towards Yun Ping filled with doubt and wariness. "Your Excellency... is clearly not an ordinary person."

"Of course I'm not an ordinary person. Have you ever seen an ordinary person with a hole in their chest standing here talking nonsense with you?"

Yunping looked at the young man as if he were an idiot, then wiped his chest with his right hand.

There was no light appearing, nor was there any surge of spiritual energy.

The huge blood hole in Yunping's chest disappeared instantly with a casual wipe, and even the hole in his clothes was completely sewn up in the blink of an eye.

He reached out and pinched the hem of his clothes, giving it a gentle shake.

hum~

A hazy tremor blurred the young man's vision. When he could see clearly again, the bloodstains on Yun Ping's body had vanished, and his white clothes remained as pure as snow.

Having done all this, Old Yun nodded in satisfaction and said to the young man, "Alright, now we can begin our discussion."

Despite being surprised by Yun Ping's bizarre methods, the young man still harbored considerable hostility towards him.

He took a step back, his right hand pointing the sharp, golden sword at Yun Ping.

"What would you like to discuss with me?"

“It’s nothing else—” Yunping turned around and pointed to the little guy rubbing against his feet, “I just want you to let this little guy go.”

Release that monster?!

The young man's expression suddenly darkened, his aura surged again, and a gigantic phantom that seemed unapproachable appeared faintly behind him.

The golden sword in his hand suddenly flashed with rings, and he stared at Yun Ping, sternly refusing.

"That demonic beast is an existence that dares to defy the laws of heaven. If we do not kill it and allow it to ascend to sainthood, then we are defying heaven."

"My mission is to stop it from achieving sainthood!"

Yunping's lips twitched, his face contorted with stomach pain as if he'd eaten expired food. "Hey buddy, where do all these heaven-defying beings come from in this world? Do you really think they're just sitting around doing nothing? Going against God for no reason?"

"Little Lei Zi was stuck at the Void Transformation stage for quite a while, and now his cultivation couldn't hold back anymore. Even the most enduring man will eventually ejaculate. Little Lei Zi just couldn't hold back anymore and had no choice but to break through. Why should he involve himself in the affairs of Heaven?"

At this point, Xiao Lei also shouted at the young man twice, but his voice was too immature and had no intimidating power.

However, these words did nothing to quell the young man's murderous intent—

He seemed to have already made up his mind, his gaze fierce, "The Way of Heaven is the Way of Heaven. No matter the circumstances, anyone who goes against the Way of Heaven must be judged!"

Well, another one with a screw loose.

Yun Ping scratched his head and looked at the young man. "Young man, are all the inspectors like this now? Have you forgotten what the last person who openly defied the laws of heaven was called?"

The young man was taken aback, then stared intently at Yun Ping, "You know about the Inspectors!!"

"What's so hard to know? Not only do I know, I also gave you a big gift before."

"A grand gift?"

A possibility that shouldn't exist flashed through the young man's mind, but he immediately erased it the moment it appeared.

It absolutely couldn't be that person...

That person is dead, utterly and completely dead.

It couldn't be him.

……

But it was as if the heavens were against him; all he saw was Yun Ping extending a finger and waving it twice in front of him with a smile.

Immediately, he uttered the word he least wanted to hear in his life.

"Ancient Spirit Burial Ground".

boom!

It was like being struck by lightning!

The young man froze on the spot, almost dropping his grip on the sword, while the giant phantom behind him shook violently twice.

As soon as those four words were uttered, he felt his soul tremble wildly, driven by endless fear, trying to escape his body.

"Why...why do you know about that place..."

He pointed blankly at Yunping, his words filled with disbelief.

How could he possibly believe that someone else knew about a place known only to the dead?

Yunping, however, paid no attention to his panic. He narrowed his eyes and said in a calm tone, "You should be able to guess why I know."

"But you can't be him, he's dead!!"
