Chapter 1187 – You Bastard!
An Zheng stood in his own small courtyard, raised his head and looked at the sky, staring at the flickering stars in the sky in a daze. He was someone who did not have time to be lost in thought, but when he thought about Xiao Liu’er and Xiao Yezi, he would often be unable to control himself.
Fang Tanzhi was dead.
However, Fang Tanzhi had actually opened a door for him. In the past, An Zheng would often see that incomparably huge bronze door within his illusions, and he wholeheartedly wanted to know what exactly the door was. It was as if the door that Fang Tanzhi had opened for him was the huge bronze door.
Behind the door was the sea of stars.
The power of a cultivator was extracted from a world. It was a minor cultivation. The ultimate of small cultivation, depends on how rich the spiritual energy in this world is. For example, the Da Xi era, the end result of their early cultivation was just like Chen Wunuo, who could never reach the peak of the Greater Heaven Stage again. In this world, An Zheng speculated that the most extreme stage of cultivation would be the Golden Immortal Realm, which was above the level of the Great Sage in the mortal world.
Therefore, no matter whether it was Ning Xiaolou or the Nine Saints, who looked like the peak cultivators of the Mortal Realm, they would always be able to move mountains and fill the seas easily.
Outside the bronze door, however, was cultivation.
Immortal Emperors like Purple Ivy and the others, and even lower Celestial Sovereign s like them, had already reached the stage of grand cultivation, where they could absorb energy from the sea of stars and not from a small world. Thus, their strength was something that the cultivators of the mortal world could not hope to attain. When An Zheng thought about this, he was even more surprised. Back then, what exactly happened when the Mortal Realm cultivators counterattacked and obtained the victory of the Immortal Palace?
Only after entering this era did An Zheng understand that the rumors were indeed out of the ordinary. Even if the two Immortal Emperors, Qing Lian and Xuan-Yuan, were to fight to the point of shattering space, and Purple Ivy were to leave as well, the cultivators of the Mortal Realm would not even have a chance to obtain victory. Just a casual Celestial Sovereign would be able to completely suppress the human world by himself.
What about the legendary Demon Emperor? Who exactly was Da Chi?
It was rumored that when Da Chi fought with Purple Ivy, he lost while challenging Purple Ivy, to the point where he almost lost his Cultivation Power. If that was the case, then what did the cultivators of the Mortal Realm rely on in the Immortal Palace battle? And only after An Zheng arrived at this era did he realize where there were powerful demi-humans, and even more so, how could there be Demon Emperors.
Everything became so confusing, as if people in the mortal world were unable to break free from their shackles.
He looked up at the sky.
And then, he thought of Tan Shanse.
Tan Shanse... Why can you transcend the Eternal?
The power of the stars, in other words... Tan Shanse used another method to obtain the power behind the bronze door. With his cultivation level, it was impossible for him to obtain the power of the sea of stars outside of the Realm of the Skypiercing. Therefore, he must have found some sort of shortcut. Using the Cultivation Power of the mortal world to absorb its power, it was very possible that it was … Steal.
Thinking about it, An Zheng suddenly understood a lot. Tan Shanse was able to live forever, not because his strength had truly reached the realm of opening the bronze door and entering the great cultivation world. It was because of his special talent that allowed him to steal the power from other people’s Fated Stars. Therefore, the power of time in this world would not be able to kill him.
Even if the Immortal Emperor was not immortal, sooner or later, his body would eventually decline and dry up. But Tan Shanse wouldn’t, he kept stealing. After he stole this, he stole that. He kept stealing. He was like someone who had left behind six paths … Time had no effect on him at all. To be more precise, the rules of time had no effect on him.
After thinking about the six paths, An Zheng once again thought of the Xiao Qi Dao.
What exactly is the Xiao Qi Dao’s Inherent skill, to both be other than the Six Paths?
Then, An Zheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart … Outside of the six paths?
Fang Tanzhi’s perception of the Human Realm Above Heavens was actually a much broader way than the path of stars. Tan Shanse’s stealing was a small path, but Fang Tanzhi’s Heaven Realm was the real way to open that door. It was just that although Fang Tanzhi had created this path, he had not been able to endure past the machinations and plots of the mortal world. An Zheng couldn’t help but think that if Fang Tanzhi hadn’t died, the first Mortal Realm cultivator to ascend to the Heavenly Region would definitely not have been Ning Xiaolou, but Fang Tanzhi.
That’s the irony.
The wooden door creaked open as someone pushed in. Du Shoushou walked in tiredly witood in his hand, releasing a fragrance.
“Fire?”
“Yes!”
Du Shoushou walked to An Zheng’s side and sat down on the chair in the courtyard, not caring about the dew at all. He threw breakfast to An Zheng, and closed his eyes as he lied there seemingly exhausted.
“What have you been doing all night?”
An Zheng opened the oil paper package and saw that the fire inside was extremely warm.
“Helian went to find trouble with Dou Chun on the first day of the break. He wanted to get back some face. fat grandpa I stood at the door with the kitchen knife in my hand, opened the door, and let them kill me before I go in. These fellows weren’t willing to give up. After a night of scolding outside the door, I faced them for the entire night. In the morning, when I heard that Zhu Xiaojian had gone back to the DEA, I could only come back to get a good night’s sleep after he had run away. ”
An Zheng smirked: “These guys are really unwilling to give up.”
However, Du Shoushou was already snoring. It was obvious that the night of scolding was much more tiring than the fight. With a wave of his hand, the reclining chair brought Du Shoushou to fly into the house at the same time. With another wave, a blanket was thrown over Du Shoushou’s body. An Zheng stood in the courtyard and wolfed down the breakfast that Du Shoushou had brought back. After saying it was so fragrant, he went to his room to bathe and change his clothes.
He didn’t sleep all night, but felt refreshed afteot bath. Wearing a new set of official uniform, An Zheng stepped onto the floor of DEA’s yamen.
Zhu Xiaojian had just fallen asleep and had not slept for the entire night. He had a lot of things to do lately, especially now that he had becombbot. Recently, he had been busy outside because the revenge from the Nine Saint Sect was a little violent. In one breath, Ning Xiaolou advanced six thousand kilometers, killed several hundred thousand people, and caused Nine Saint Sect’s vitality to be greatly damaged. The Nine Saints were tricked into returning to Nine Saint Mountain City. When they came back to their senses, it was already too late.
The Nine Saints were infuriated, they started to seek revenge crazily, so Zhu Xiaojian had been busy all day and all night. It wasn’t easy for him to settle down with the interference of another big shot, so he could come back and have a good night’s sleep. In this era, the three Monarchs and four sects, as well as the other important figure who had a good relationship with Ning Xiaolou had rushed over to mediate and reconcile. The Nine Saints had no choice but to give him some face. Adding on the fact that the Immortal Teacher’s Estate had suddenly disappeared withourace, and he didn’t dare to believe the Divine Court that had just appeared too closely, he had to temporarily stop the battle.
When Zhu Xiaojian returned to the DEA, he immediately went to deal with the piles of official affairs overnight. Just as he laid down at daybreak, he heard annoying knocks on the door outside.
Which blind person would actually knock on the door at this time? How could his trusted guard not stop him?
He rolled over, covered his head with the blanket, and ignored it.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and the sound of footsteps could be heard entering the room. It was very annoying. Zhu Xiaojian let out a long sigh. He thought, “This guy is really annoying.” He decided to just lie there with his head covered and not get into bed.
“I brought burnt bacon.”
An Zheng sat down on the chair and placed the steaming hot breakfast on the tea table. Ignoring Zhu Xiaojian’s deliberate disregard of him, he boiled the water himself and made tea for himself.
“You’re so fucking annoying.”
Zhu Xiaojian stood up and glared at An Zheng.
An Zheng glanced at it and laughed: “I thought you would sleep naked.”
Zhu Xiaojian stared at him, staring for an entire minute before sighing. “Fuck, how do I know you …”
How could he have the time to take off his clothes and go to sleep? The heavy brocade clothes did not affect his sleep at all, and the one affecting him was An Zheng. He struggled to sit up from the bed and rinsed his mouth with the tea An Zheng made for him. Then, he grabbed the fire and started to gnaw on it.
“You’ve never eaten this kind of ground gas before?”
An Zheng glanced at Zhu Xiaojian and poured him a second cup of tea.
“Your tea leaves aren’t good. The tea I drank yesterday at the colonel’s office was even better than yours.”
Zhu Xiaojian almost choked, after drinking a mouthful of tea, he burped and said: “Are you planning to anger me to death? As soon as I came back, I goeadache from what you did. As people of the DEA, could they be more harmonious? “Wait until you do something good in the future before you bully others. Wouldn’t it be better if you bullied others when I properly put you in my shoes?”
“I don’t think so.”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: “I can’t wait to bully people.”
He took a sip of tea. “It’s as if the people who bullied me didn’t want to wait.”
Zhu Xiaojian: “They are just unhappy in their hearts, they wouldn’t really do something too out of line. When you just joined the DEA, you were already the chief prosecutor for the first branch of the yamen. Everyone knows that you will be the future pamper, so of course they would be unhappy in their hearts, extremely unhappy. A person like Wan Zongjie has worked hard for so many years and has always been looking forward to taking a step up, but now that you’ve come and interrupted his future, how can he not be worried? As for the others, they only look at how unhappy you are.
An Zheng laughed: “That’s why I have to stand up for the people I implicated. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, I won’t make too much of a fuss. I just wanted to show them my attitude and tell them to be more tactful in the future. You also know that my biggest goal is the Martial Arts Conference in half a year, how can I have the free time to compete with them? I am making a ruckus just to make my cultivation in Bai Sheng Academy more stable in the future. ”
Zhu Xiaojian took a sip of tea. “It’s good that you can differentiate between priorities, don’t cause me trouble all day. Oh right, by the way, let me tell you something … I killed another batch of Nine Saint Sect’s spies at Qinguan and added your name onto the service record, saying that it was you who provided the information, that it warace that you discovered while you were in Qinguan. With these small achievements, you will be able to appear in the Your Majesty from time to time and be brought up in the imperial court. In the future, it would also be useful to use you as a caretaker. ”
An Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly: “Looks like I bought breakfast too cheaply. If I knew earlier, I would have bought you something expensive.”
Zhu Xiaojian: “I just beg you to hurry up and leave, let me sleep in peace for a while.”
An Zheng made an ‘oh’ sound, “I just came here to talk to you about the things that have happened in the past few days so that you don’t have to worry about it. I said what I had to say, and I’m leaving. Don’t worry, since you’re back, I will restrain myself. That’s the end of my conflict with those guys. I’m not an ignorant person, am I? ”
An Zheng got up and said, “Sleep well, I’ll go to the first scoreboard to take a look. I heard that last night, Wan Zongjie and Dou Chun used the two of them to block the door of the first minute court for the whole night, so I have to go back and pacify my people. ”
“Oh …” I knew that they had been arguing with me all night, so before dawn I had the news sent out that I was back and they had gone back. Knowing I was here, they didn’t dare to be too impudent. I still say that. They’re just upset. Whether it was cursing or bullying your subordinates, it was all venting. It’s fine to let them vent, but there won’t be any big events. ”
An Zheng: “I know, I know.”
He cupped his fist and said, “Thank you for the promotion, I’ll be going back first. You sleep first, you sleep first.”
Zhu Xiaojian replied, after eating their fill, his sleepiness became even stronger, and he crawled into bed: “Hurry and f * ck off.”
An Zheng went out and smiled like a fox.
Zhu Xiaojian tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He felt that something was wrong, then suddenly sat up and shouted towards the outside: “What the hell did you do before coming to see me?”
“Huh?”
An Zheng, who was walking into the courtyard, stopped in his tracks and quickly ran outside.
“Nothing …” Look, I forgot to tell you earlier, I just pulled Wan Zongjie and Dou Chun out of bed and beat them up, it’s not heavy … One person broke his legs, but he didn’t dare to fight anymore. Helian ran away after hearing the news, who knows where … “I thought he was crying here, so I came over. Who would’ve thought he actually ran away.”
Before he could finish, he was already far away.
Zhu Xiaojian sat there in a daze, then roared: “You chased people all the way here to beat me up?!”
After saying that, he paused for a moment and then muttered, “I didn’t even get a f * cking sesame seed cake just for me!”
