"Are you pitying him?" Cao Xiaoli stared intently at Li An, head bowed, drinking his wine.Li An shook his head, saying, "No, I was just thinking that there are many people as great as my uncle."Cao Xiaoli shook his head, saying, "You're overthinking it.""I'm different from Li Wuce.""He's inherently kind.""I don't have an inherent nature. All of this makes you uncomfortable, but I don't feel anything."Li An frowned, saying, "You just said that Xiao Fan taught Yu Shan the method of condensing the source of fortune.""So Xiao Fan is the Tyrant's original name?"Cao Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, you can ask me a few more questions, but I suggest asking something meaningful."Li An looked at him seriously, saying, "You're different from all the human powerhouses I've met. You give me the feeling of facing Mr. Tianming."Cao Xiaoli took a drag of his cigarette, saying, "If Zhuge Tianming knew you spoke so highly of him, he would be very happy."Li An was taken aback.What? Cao Xiaoli stubbed out his cigarette and said, "You want to ask me if there's a way to help you condense the Heavenly Dao Fruit.""There is a way.""With absolute kingly authority, resolve the future calamities facing the remaining six King Realms, earning their worship and awe."Cao Xiaoli then lit another cigarette, saying as he smoked, "You're concerned about your uncle.""You want to know what that Ring of Luck will bring.""I can tell you definitively.""Your uncle won't be affected by that Ring of Luck.""Because I will help him break the curse of the Heavenly Realm." Li An's eyes gradually glazed over, but Cao Xiaoli, after a slight hiccup, continued, "After you learned of my abilities, you wanted to ask if there was a way to further advance your Life Rank.""The answer is Life Cultivation.""Sufficient resources can help you stack it up to the ninth realm.""But..." "The Ninth Realm is not the end, nor is the Dao Fruit the beginning.""Great Dao cultivation and Life cultivation are two separate cultivation systems that can progress simultaneously.""When your Life cultivation reaches a certain level, you can complete the second evolution of your life stage.""This is very difficult because it's not starting from scratch, but rather a progression, strictly speaking, the tenth realm.""After breaking through the bottleneck of the Ninth Realm, you will see an infinite realm, immeasurable by data, but with sufficient luck, the strength of your spiritual palace, mental strength, and physical strength can be infinitely increased.""We call this the power beyond limits.""As for the Dao Fruit, the limit of this power is the fifteenth Heaven. This world cannot bear a Great Dao beyond the fifteenth Heaven; it would destroy the entire nature of heaven and earth.""The fifteenth Heaven Dao Fruit, combined with the Life Realm, after the two are fused, becomes incredibly powerful." "If the speed is great enough, one can ascend to heaven.""This world has produced powerful figures like the Immortal Ancestor, the Feathered Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Thief.""But aside from the Heavenly Thief who briefly broke through to the fourteenth level.""Currently, the strongest being in the mortal realm is still Mu Tianyi, the master of the God Realm, because his life cultivation has broken through to the tenth realm, advancing on the infinite path, chasing after the tyrant's shadow." Li An nodded heavily, clenching his fist, and said, "Fifteenth level Heavenly Dao Fruit.""Such a realm..." Cao Xiaoli: "I can tell you definitively that all thirteen kings of the Heavenly Realm attained enlightenment at the fifteenth level of Heavenly Dao Fruit." Li An's expression changed slightly, and he said, "That means that even if they sent avatars to the mortal realm, those avatars were also at the fifteenth level of Heavenly Dao Fruit. This... how did the Immortal Ancestor sever their avatars?" Cao Xiaoli said seriously, "The Immortal Ancestor is very strong.""Extremely strong.""He..." "At that time, he was already a powerful figure at the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Realm, unparalleled in the world.""Faced with the shadow of the Heavenly Emperor at the fifteenth level, there was only one thing he could do: ascend to heaven in the mortal realm.""In that era, there weren't as many methods as there are now. To be able to do this only shows that he was already close to the true form of the Great Dao.""During the many eras he was sealed, he never gave up hope, never stopped cultivating, and continued searching for the direction of the true form of the Great Dao in Hell.""He finally succeeded.""Now, there should be no more than three people in the entire mortal realm who can reach his level of Great Dao cultivation.""This is just a guess. One of the other three ancestors among the Five Ancestors who haven't yet appeared in the world could do it.""If they can't do it, then there can only be two." Li An's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Mu Tianyi and the Immortal Ancestor?"Cao Xiaoli: "Me and the Immortal Ancestor."Li An's body trembled.Cao Xiaoli's eyes remained indifferent: "It's just like that in the mortal realm.""The thirteen kings of the Heavenly Realm can all do this." Looking at the increasingly silent Li An... Cao Xiaoli asked, "Are you scared?""These are all questions you wanted to know. I've just given you the answers."Li An suddenly asked curiously, "So, you and Mu Tianyi…""He's strong," Cao Xiaoli said calmly, "but you could trade places if you fought desperately.""Alright," Li An nodded.Seeing Li An's seemingly dissatisfied attitude, Cao Xiaoli suddenly twisted his neck, making a creaking sound."What's wrong?""Nothing," Cao Xiaoli shook his head."Come with me.""I'll take you to get the materials you need."Cao Xiaoli led Li An into his office.Upon entering,Li An was shocked.A vast, 10,000-square-meter single-level room, filled entirely with white paper.The white paper was covered with densely packed numbers.Formulas!He didn't get them from the Heavenly Realm!He calculated them himself!The materials for the 3rd and 4th levels of Physical Immortality—Tiger Brother said they weren't available in the mortal realm.But he had them?He made them himself!? Cao Xiaoli glanced at Li An's horrified expression out of the corner of his eye, and scoffed inwardly, thinking, "That's more like it."Then, he took out two wooden boxes and handed them to Li An, saying casually, "Third tier, fourth tier.""Take them.""Thank you, sir." Li An saluted.Cao Xiaoli: "Hmm.""Then... I'll be going?"Cao Xiaoli: "Hmm."Soon, Li An left the underground labyrinth.Inside the labyrinth.Zhuge Tianming appeared beside Cao Xiaoli, smiling broadly, and said, "Lord God, thank you."Cao Xiaoli snorted coldly, a hint of resentment rising within him."Oh, don't take it so seriously, kid," Zhuge Tianming said with a smile. "We all know you haven't been back long enough, and your cultivation level hasn't caught up yet. That's normal. Once you have a lot of luck pouring into your body, that Mu Tianyi will be nothing but a little Kalami."Cao Xiaoli took a big gulp of strong liquor and sighed, "This body isn't powerful enough.""I'll never have that power again.""I never thought I'd become so ordinary."Zhuge Tianming massaged Cao Xiaoli's shoulders and laughed, "After everything's over, being an orphanage director wouldn't be bad. Aren't you happy doing it?""Stop talking nonsense," Li Xiaocao sneered. "People who say things like that are all dead."Suddenly, his eyes turned cold. "No, I must find a way to get back my former power."Only then, even if he loses in the end, he can accept it wholeheartedly.A battle of wits?He was a man of both literary and martial prowess, the sole ruler standing tall in the tyrant's homeland, and an enemy who instilled despair in the young tyrant. Now, he couldn't even defeat someone like Mu Tianyi, who required him to fight tooth and nail.Unconvinced!Mu Tianyi? Number one in the world?As long as Xiao Fan wasn't around, he was always number one, no matter the world.The strongest!Li Xiaocao's hand tightened slightly, making a creaking sound.Zhuge Tianming patted his shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.After hearing these words, Li Xiaocao looked up, frowning."You've decided?""The world belongs to the young.""I don't even think I'm old, what does your age matter?"Li Xiaocao looked at him coldly.Zhuge Tianming chuckled self-deprecatingly, saying, "These past years, every time I look at myself in the mirror, I think, how did that incomparably handsome man, the dream of millions of girls, become like this?""But it seems I can't go back.""My mindset has aged without me even realizing it."Li Xiaocao suddenly laughed, "I really liked what Xiao Fan said to me when he found me using the technique of defying fate.""I don't believe in separation in this world!""Pretty domineering.""I remember that resolute, blood-stained, arrogant gaze, as if even if a hundred Heavenly Daos stood in his way, he would stab them one by one until he pulled us back from the river of time.""As his most trusted person, how could you have such a mindset?""You're guilty.""Remember, he promised us a perfect ending."Zhuge Tianming lowered his head, saying, "I remember.""It just seems a bit difficult."Suddenly, Li Xiaocao raised her hand and struck Zhuge Tianming hard on the forehead with her elbow.The de facto ruler of the human realm lay paralyzed and collapsed.Li Xiaocao looked at the half-dead old man lying on the ground and coldly snorted, "You won't die.""I said!""Don't presumptuously try to glimpse the future anymore. What the future holds is not something your eyes can determine!"He walked expressionlessly down the deep, dark corridor of hell, muttering to himself amidst the wails of sinners."I have never been defeated in my life.""This time will be no exception."
