Start with the fisherman

Li Changji's Dharma body held an equally illusory long sword in his hand. The moment it appeared, the long sword turned into a stream of light and sank into the flying sword beside Li Changji. Then the flying sword turned into a long rainbow again and flew straight towards the middle-aged man in purple robe.

The body of the middle-aged man in purple robe was blue and purple all over, with electric light swirling around him, as if it was condensed from thunder. In an instant, half the sky seemed to have turned into a pool of thunder, with lightning and thunder that made people tremble with fear.

Facing Li Changji's sword, he did not dare to underestimate it. The Dharma body behind him raised his hand, and a purple thunder as thick as an arm burst out, heading towards the lightning.

Rumble!
It's like two worlds collided.

Cao Ze only felt the world spinning, and there was only a dazzling light in front of his eyes, and he could no longer see anything clearly.

"Is this the true power of a Dharmakaya realm warrior?"

This was the only thought echoing in his mind at this moment.

Originally, he thought that his combat power was only one step away from the Grand Master, and there shouldn't be much difference from the Dharmakaya realm.

He still thought so until Xuan Zhiming and the other man took action.

It was not until now that he understood that the Dharmakaya realm and the Blood Refining realm were completely not the same kind of creatures.

If he had to describe it, then even a grandmaster at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm was only a high-level martial artist, but a master at the Dharmakaya Realm was already a true immortal!

"Junior brother...Junior brother..."

Hearing the gentle voice of the eldest brother in his ears, Cao Ze woke up from his daze, and the world in his eyes finally returned to normal again.

Everything has returned to calm. Xuan Zhiming, Lin Tingzhang, and the purple-robed figure have all disappeared, as if the battle just now had never existed.

However, Cao Ze vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a mountain range in the front left, but now it has turned into a bottomless pit, as if it was created by a falling meteorite.

"Let's go back to Qingming Peak!"

Li Changji came to the two of them without making any movement. The next moment, Cao Ze appeared in the direct disciple square in the middle of Qingming Peak. Also appearing with him was the seventh senior sister Qin Yaoguang. Li Changji brought her back as well.

"This is the compensation those two old guys gave you!"

Li Changji had a gentle smile on his face, as if the old man with furious hair and the ability to destroy mountains and rivers was just Cao Ze's illusion.

"You don't have to be polite, little brother. Since it's given by Master, just accept it."

Qin Tianqiong put away the things Li Changji handed over and then reminded with a smile.

Cao Ze also came back to his senses and took a piece of green jade and a piece of dead wood with a few tender buds from Li Changji's hand.

Cao Ze was very familiar with the Xuanyu. He had bought Xuanyu from Xuanyu Peak in the small town at the foot of Qingming Peak. However, the quality of this piece was obviously much better than the one he had bought before.

It is even better than the Xuanyu provided to the grandmaster.

The piece that the eldest senior brother received is the same as this one, so this is the highest quality black jade that can benefit all those in the Dharmakaya realm?

As for that piece of dead wood, although Cao Ze didn't know what it was, but from the rich vitality emanating from it and the grandeur of being placed together with this Dharmakaya Realm Mysterious Jade, Cao Ze knew that it was probably not an ordinary thing.

"This is Thunder Tribulation Wood, a spiritual medicine. Fifth Junior Sister can refine it into a Deliverance Pill for you. No matter how badly you are injured, as long as you take it, you can instantly recover to your peak state."

Qin Tianqiong saw Cao Ze's confusion and began to explain.

"Master!"

Cao Ze bowed respectfully and looked at the old man in front of him. From the fierce battle with the demon cultivator when they first met a few years ago to the battle with Xuan Zhiming and the purple-robed middle-aged man not long ago, scenes flashed through his mind and he felt a trace of admiration in his heart.

Li Changji stroked his beard and laughed, "My dear friend, there is no need to be polite. When I saw you that day, I knew that you were a fellow traveler."

"Little Junior Brother, don't be so reserved. There aren't that many rules in Qingming Peak."

Qin Tianqiong also smiled gently. The more he looked at this junior brother, the more he liked him.

Qin Yaoguang stared at the treasures in the hands of his senior brother and junior brother. Although he felt a little envious, he was more happy for his junior brother.

She was not affected, so naturally she had no share of the compensation, but she didn't care. With her family background and talent, it was not too difficult for her to get these things. But it was not easy for her junior brother to come this far.

Li Changji's smile grew brighter, and then a fist-sized fruit appeared in his hand. It was as clear as crystal and emitting illusory colorful light. "This trip out was not in vain. This dream fruit can guide the soul into the deepest dream, heal itself, and reshape the soul structure to restore it to its original state."

"Even if I can't completely repair your soul, it should be able to help!"

"Master, don't worry so much. My injuries will be healed in a few days!"

Qin Tianqiong's voice was low, with a kind of depression of waiting for the clouds to clear and the sun to shine, but also with hope. It has been twenty years, and if he had not been troubled by injuries, he would have made further progress. Why would he be forced into such a situation by Xuan Zhiming and Lin Tingzhang?

Cao Ze also took the opportunity to take out the Soul Abyss Spiritual Liquid he got in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, "Big Brother, I also got a lot of good things in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm this time. Can you see if this Soul Abyss Spiritual Liquid can help you?"

Qin Tianqiong was startled for a moment, then smiled again, "Junior brother, you are so thoughtful!"

Li Changji looked at Cao Ze again, "I'm afraid you got more than this in the secret realm of Dongtian!"

"Take it out!"

Although he had just returned from outside, he knew what it was that could make Xuan Zhiming and Lin Tingzhang so crazy without having to guess.

Cao Ze took out the dark blue spirit bead without hesitation. If his fourth senior brother had not appeared in Cape City in time, he would not be alive today. He also believed in the character of his master and would not covet his treasure.

"Chaos Spirit Source Pearl!"

Even Qin Tianqiong exclaimed, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. He couldn't help but sigh, "Junior brother is really blessed!"

Li Changji was not surprised. Cao Ze had gained a lot of merit and power by helping the resentful souls on the island to be reincarnated that day. In addition, Cao Ze must have gained something from his daily conduct. It is not wrong to say that such a person has great fortune.

thump... thump...

thump... thump...

Li Changji took the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl, and this dark blue pearl began to beat again, making a sound like the beating of a heart.

boom!
This piece of heaven and earth seemed to have suddenly undergone some strange changes, making Cao Ze feel as if the water here could flow upwards, people could fly freely, the day would never pass, and the night would never come...

Wow!
This feeling only lasted for a brief moment before receding like the tide.

Only then did Cao Ze realize that his senior brother and master were still in a daze, immersed in the strange feeling they had just experienced.

They are all in the Dharmakaya realm, and perhaps they can gain more insights than Cao Ze.

After a moment, the eldest brother's eyes regained clarity and he looked at the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl in Li Changji's hand with amazement in his eyes.

After a while, Li Changji recovered.

"As expected, it is the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl that can create a world. It is indeed magical!"

Li Changji muttered to himself, but turned around and returned the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl to Cao Ze.

Cao Ze didn’t know what his master had done, but he vaguely felt that he felt much more at ease.

At the top of Xuanyu Peak, not far from Qingming Peak, two old men were sitting in the pavilion, but they were not as carefree as immortals, but full of anger, destroying the artistic conception of this place. Suddenly, both of them turned their heads and looked in the direction of Qingming Peak.

Sensing the strange changes happening in the world there, the anger on their faces became even more intense.

"Shameless old thing!"

Xuan Zhiming cursed, "You didn't let us take it, but you took it yourself. You are so shameless!"

The movement in Qingming Peak just now was obviously that a warrior in the Dharmakaya Realm was comprehending the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl. Although the fluctuation disappeared quickly, it was undoubtedly only a warrior in the Dharmakaya Realm who could stimulate the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl to such a degree.

Come to think of it, the ultimate principles of heaven and earth contained in the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl are still too profound for the little fellow in the Dragon Blood Realm. It can only play the greatest role in the hands of a warrior in the Dharma Body Realm.

If it were him, he would also take the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl for himself.

"It's all because of these little guys who are not doing well!"

Lin Tingzhang was also upset, but in the end he could do nothing about it.

It’s not that they don’t want to get the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl, but they really can’t defeat that old guy Li Changji even if they join forces.

What made him even more upset was that his junior Lin Zhantian, whom he had always been optimistic about, also died in the Dongtian Secret Realm. He and Xuan Zhiming could be said to be in the same boat.

Now it seems that the two of them were most likely defeated by Cao Ze.

In the secret realm of Dongtian, the only people who can threaten the two are Cao Ze, Ye Shijie and a few others. Even if the two provoke Ye Shijie, Ye Shijie will not kill them. Therefore, the only one who can prevent the two from leaving the secret realm of Dongtian is naturally Cao Ze.

They have already learned from their disciples what happened in the secret realm of the cave, and even they could not have imagined that the boy from Qingming Peak could be so powerful.

He has only joined Xuanbao Pavilion for more than half a year!

If he is allowed to continue growing, in a few decades, Qingming Peak might have another Dharmakaya realm warrior. By then, Qingming Peak would be even more difficult to deal with.

Especially now that the two of them have offended Qingming Peak to death, they must not let this happen.

The two looked at each other, and everything was understood tacitly.

Qin Tianqiong has become a powerful figure and they can't do anything about him, but they can think of some ways to deal with that little guy.

……

Walking in the mountains, looking at the small courtyard getting closer and closer in front of him, and the faint smoke rising from the courtyard, Cao Ze felt a sense of peace in his heart for no reason, and the fatigue from fighting in the secret realm of the cave suddenly dissipated.

Squeak!

Push open the courtyard door.

Su Xiaozhi was sitting on a recliner under the eaves reading a book, while Yue Lingke, who usually held a book in his arms, was busy in the kitchen with Hong Xing.

"Brother Ze, you're back!"

The moment the courtyard door was opened, Su Xiaozhi put down the book in her hand, turned into a pink afterimage, and threw herself into Cao Ze's arms.

Yue Lingke and Hong Xing also came out of the kitchen. Yue Lingke even had a lot of black soot on his face, looking extremely disheveled.

Seeing Yue Lingke like this, Cao Ze couldn't help laughing. She didn't look so embarrassed when she was fighting with a warrior at the peak of the Jiaoxue realm!
Cao Ze naturally would not show favoritism. He flashed and took the two of them into his arms.

"I wanted to prepare lunch for you!"

Yue Lingke held his head high, but did not forget to explain for Su Xiaozhi.

They naturally knew that Cao Ze would return from the Dongtian Secret Realm today, so they started preparing early.

"smell good!"

Cao Ze sniffed, kissed the three people on the face, and then walked straight to the bedroom with them in his arms.

"Eh……"

The three of them blushed immediately.

Su Xiaozhi just hugged Cao Ze tighter. Although she was shy, she also had some anticipation.

Yue Lingke began to struggle symbolically. She was too proud to accept such an embarrassing thing. "My Kui beef ribs are burnt. Please put me down..."

Unfortunately, no matter what she said, she could not escape Cao Ze's clutches.

Of course, whether she really wanted to break free was debatable.

As for Hong Xing, she buried her head directly in Cao Ze's chest. She had always regarded herself as a maid and slave, so naturally she would not presumptuously do anything to resist.

Of course, her heart was also sweet.

A little farewell is better than a wedding!
He said no before going to the bedroom, but when he really entered the battlefield, Yue Lingke, relying on the strength of the ninth level of Jiaoxue, was able to withstand most of Cao Ze's firepower by himself, and even became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

The battle lasted from noon until the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

The sixth-level monster Kui beef in the kitchen was also stewed into a black paste. After all, they were not using ordinary fire, which could not cook Kui beef.

After another round of tenderness, the four of them reluctantly walked out of the bedroom. At their level of cultivation, whether or not to eat has long become a matter of mood.

But after all, it was Yue Lingke’s first time cooking, so Cao Ze had to give her some face.

So, Yue Lingke and the other two went into the kitchen again, cleaned up the mess, started a new stove, and began preparing dinner.

Cao Ze came to the recliner under the eaves, looking at the three people busy in the kitchen, and his heart was at peace.

For the first time ever, he did not practice cultivation, nor did he try to comprehend the artistic conception. He did nothing. He let the wind blow his hair, let the fallen leaves scatter on his robe, let the stars shine on his body. He just leisurely watched the three people busy and playing in the kitchen.

Since he came to this world, in order to survive, he has been working hard to improve his cultivation all the time, from Bishui Village to Haijiao City and then to Qingming Peak, from grinding his skin, strengthening his muscles, forging his bones and refining his internal organs to now reaching the Dragon Blood Realm, without relaxing for a moment.

But at this moment, perhaps because of the return of his master, which made him feel more secure, or perhaps because of the experience in the secret realm of the cave, he suddenly wanted to stop when he returned to the courtyard again.

It's also good to just waste time doing nothing!
It was this mentality that put Cao Ze into a very special state, as if he had completely merged with the wind wandering in the courtyard and the starlight scattered in the courtyard, becoming a part of them.

Cao Ze's mind was completely immersed in it, even his heartbeat slowed down, his heart became more and more peaceful, and he gradually entered a state of selflessness.

It is precisely because of this that he feels his own insignificance.

Even though he was invincible in the Dragon Blood Realm, he was still as small as a speck of dust in this world.

For a moment, his understanding of various artistic conceptions came to his mind.

Artistic conception is the understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

In this state, Cao Ze could easily see through the essence of these rules. His original understanding of the artistic conception was rapidly corrected, and then he went a step further, just like rain and dew nourishing seeds buried deep in the soil. (End of this chapter)
