Bang!
A figure flew past Lü Tao and landed on the ground unconscious. It was none other than the Monkey Saint who had just displayed his great power.
What!
Lu Tao's sixth sense was frantically warning him, and an inexplicable sense of crisis enveloped him. It felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart, making it hard to breathe.
"This kid is young, but he has quite a temper!"
An aged voice sounded behind Lü Tao, making Lü Tao's hair stand on end. He turned his head, his eyes blazing with a fierce light.
A large hand gripped his chin tightly like an iron clamp. Lu Tao saw that the guy who had instantly knocked out the Monkey Saint was an old man with white hair and a white beard.
He wore a faded Zhongshan suit and old cloth shoes. His face was ordinary, nothing special; he would have been easily lost in a crowd. A kind smile graced his aged face, like that of a doting grandfather. Seeing his enigmatic smile, Lü Tao's heart tightened, and his eyes were about to fire when the old man gently pushed upwards with his large hand. Two golden beams of light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds.
"It's not good for a child to have such a temper!" The old man still had that smiling look on his face. His other hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, suddenly reached out and struck the pressure points on Lü Tao's neck, knocking him unconscious. Several helicopters flew in, and dozens of superhumans dressed in All-Tong employee uniforms disembarked. One of the leaders saw the old man and cautiously asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The old man shook his head and said with a smile, "Just an unknown person. He only intervened because he didn't want these people to achieve their goals."
Seeing that the old man didn't want to answer, the leader didn't force him. He took out handcuffs and handcuffed Lü Tao's hands, then used fine needles to seal acupoints to block the flow of Qi. The monkey saints on the ground were not spared either, and were all taken into custody.
The old man, with his hands behind his back, opened the rooftop door, walked down the stairs, and sighed as he went, "What a troubled time! Can't we just live a peaceful life?"

Chapter 138: Advancing to the Refinement of the Divine Realm
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Countless brilliant lights filled the sky of the inner world, and a pair of enormous eyes appeared in the sky, looking down on all living beings. After this eye appeared, all birds and beasts scattered and huddled in their nests, trembling, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Twelve celestial pillars stood in the center. At the foot of the divine pillars, a large number of dark warriors gathered together and knelt on the ground in unison. Dou Mei, Xia He, and a middle-aged man who looked like a farmer also knelt on the ground, their eyes fixed on the front with piety.
A golden throne stands in the center of twelve divine pillars, supported by an invisible force, with twelve divine beasts of different expressions flying behind it.
Xu Le, dressed in a black robe, sat on the throne, his left hand supporting his chin as he looked at the kneeling crowd on the ground. His gaze was calm, but his pupils began to rotate, with countless nebulae flowing and countless stars flashing. In the center of the countless stars, a white light flashed, like the first ray of light in the endless void, representing eternal hope. In the center of the white light, a huge sphere of light slept.
"The time has come!" Xu Le looked up and waved his sleeve. A stream of azure liquid flew out, twisted several arcs in the air, and was absorbed by the giant eye in the sky. Then the giant eye revealed a sense of satisfaction, closed its eyes, and gradually dissipated.
A huge black hole appeared in front of Xu Le, and dense spiritual energy that could turn into water drifted in from the other side of the black hole and poured into this world.
Since the appearance of spiritual energy, the world has been overjoyed. All plants have grown rapidly as if they have taken stimulants, and all creatures that have absorbed spiritual energy have gone mad, roaring and howling and greedily sucking it up.
Xu Le slowly widened the opening of the cave, allowing his inner world to absorb a large amount of energy to form the basis for evolution. The opposite world was a higher world, with spiritual energy so rich that it could be transformed into water. The level of the world was like a starting line. The goal that a lower-level creature struggled for a lifetime might be something that a creature in a higher world was born with. For example, in a world like The Return of the Condor Heroes, the higher level of power that Wang Chongyang wanted to pursue might be something that a newborn baby in a higher world already possessed, and was even more powerful than him. A single finger could crush Wang Chongyang.
Does this mean that lower-level creatures can never rise to become stronger?
No, a high starting point does not necessarily mean high achievement. If Wang Chongyang went to an advanced world, with enough spiritual energy and his talent, he could become a strong person in a very short time. On the contrary, those who are born strong are likely to live a mediocre life.
The world opposite was a high-level world chosen by the Gate of Myriad Realms. Xu Le originally wanted to choose a high-level world himself, but he thought that every high-level world had powerful beings, the Heavenly Dao's defense mechanism was very strong, and this time it was his inner world's evolution that required a lot of spiritual energy. It was a cancer to every world, so there were no powerful beings among the Qi cultivators. After all, how could a large cancer be welcomed? If Qi cultivators were allowed to grow up, wouldn't they make a mess of the world?
Therefore, Xu Le gave up choosing his own world and instead asked the artifact spirit to choose a world without danger. According to the information transmitted by the artifact spirit, this was a world created by an unknown god. After creating it, he only stayed for a few hundred million years before leaving and entering chaos. Moreover, since there were no creations, it was a completely unclaimed treasure trove. After the Gate of Myriad Realms discovered this world, it left its coordinates behind.
Xu Le was astonished upon hearing this. There were no living beings, and since it was created by a great god, there was no powerful Heavenly Dao. There was only a vague defense mechanism responsible for the operation of the world. If it weren't for the fact that the great god could return at any time, this would be a huge treasure trove.
What a pity!
Xu Le suppressed his desire to dominate the world. After all, the powerful god who could return at any time was too unstable. If he invested a lot of manpower and resources, and the powerful god returned, all of Xu Le's efforts would be wasted. So before he had enough strength, Xu Le would not do such a foolish thing.
Xu Le drew a Tai Chi symbol in the void, continuously expanding the black hole. The speed of spiritual energy flow increased, and the world began to expand. The continent began to tremble violently, and the animals on the land began to flee in terror. However, no matter where they ran, they could not escape danger and could only roar helplessly.
The mountains and rivers expanded, and in just one hour, the world expanded several times over. Finally, after reaching a limit, the world stopped absorbing energy and instead allowed spiritual energy to fill the world. Xu Le also sat cross-legged and circulated his cultivation technique to temper his body. His realm had already reached the Body Refinement stage, and he only lacked sufficient resources. Now that the resources had arrived, with the right time, place, and people all converging, he directly began to break through to the Spirit Refinement stage.
Xu Le began to meditate, visualizing his own image in his mind. After all, his ambitions were higher than the heavens, and he was destined to dominate all the heavens in the future. How could he possibly use gods and demons as his objects of contemplation? Therefore, Xu Le regarded himself as an unparalleled god or demon, calmed his mind and focused his thoughts. His seven-colored Dao heart was also surrounded by rosy light, which began to amplify Xu Le's spirit.
"May the Jianmu tree help me!"
As Xu Le called out, the sapling planted beside the Dog Pillar stopped absorbing spiritual energy, and all the leaves began to rustle, as if chanting a distant ballad. Hearing this, one's heart began to calm down.
It was the tree that Xu Le had found in Longhu Mountain before, which had sprouted and grown into a tree. According to the information of the world, he knew that this seemingly ordinary sapling was the Jianmu in mythology, the legendary tree that supports the sky. Although it was not as powerful as in the mythology, it could indeed calm the mind and increase the understanding of the Dao. At the same time, it had the effect of sublimating the soul and gathering the laws.
A dazzling ray of light seeped through the branches and leaves and teleported to the tree. In this light, his ability to comprehend the Dao was greatly enhanced. The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand principles were slowly absorbed as if they were being peeled away. The original shackles to advancement also melted away like ice and snow. Xu Le easily advanced to the Refining Spirit stage.
Clap clap clap clap!
With a series of sounds like firecrackers exploding, Xu Le's body suddenly grew several centimeters taller. Originally 175 cm tall, he was now 180 cm tall. His body became increasingly sturdy. Although he looked like a pampered rich young master with fair skin, his skin was impervious to swords and missiles.
As Xu Le was undergoing his transformation, in the endless chaos, there was a hazy gray area where time and space were disordered. Turbulent currents that could easily devour Golden Immortals were everywhere. Countless terrifying, mangled corpses of gods and demons floated in the chaos, and the chaotic currents were slowly corroding their bodies.
The corpses of gods and demons were piled up into a huge mountain of corpses, and precious divine blood dripped in all directions. A crimson light was shining. A slender jade hand threw out a jade hairpin and pressed it on the head of a bull-headed god and demon who was nearly a million feet tall. The jade hairpin grew larger in an instant and turned into a giant mountain that pressed down on the bull-headed god and demon.
roar!
The bull-headed demon roared, raising its massive hooves high in an attempt to support the boundless world, but to no avail. Under the pressure of the jade hairpin, it slowly bent over, its flesh and blood disintegrating, and was finally crushed to death by the jade hairpin.
The bull-headed demon roared, and the jade hairpin returned to its original form, flying back into the crimson light. A slender jade hand was about to put the hairpin away when suddenly a soft exclamation came from within the crimson light. A melodious voice said with interest, "Interesting. There are actually little insects stealing the spiritual energy of my world. My technique is so special that I really couldn't detect it. However, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will only make one move. If you survive, I won't hold it against you."

Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
The woman formed a hand seal with her jade-like hands, and the boundless chaotic energy began to fluctuate. Some evil creatures hidden in the chaos scattered upon seeing this, fearing that if they were too slow, they would also be affected.
"scold!"
