Xiao Zhi looked at Fan Jiang, intentionally changed the subject, and said, "Fan Jiang, are your parents okay now?"
Fan Jiang drank a glass of wine and replied: "They are very good. They are currently practicing in seclusion and trying to understand the power of the law. They dream of breaking through and becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, but after such a long time, they There is still no movement, if you ask me, they are not this material at all."
Xiao Zhi just smiled and said, "What about your sister? What is she doing now?"
Fan Jiang drank another glass of wine and said, "She, God knows where she went to have fun. She is already an old girl and she doesn't know how to find a boyfriend."
Her mother, Hu Lanzhi, glared at Fan Jiang: "Aren't you just as troublesome as your sister? You are so old now, it's time to calm down and stop fooling around with those shady women all day long. Your uncle is embarrassed and should quickly find a more reliable girl to marry. Your grandpa and I are still waiting to have our great-grandson."
Fan Jiang rolled his eyes and said: "Grandma, what age are we in? Today's technology is so advanced that we people will soon be able to live forever. As the saying goes, you need to raise children to protect yourself from old age. Do we still need to protect ourselves against the youngest?"
After a few glasses of wine, Fan Jiang was obviously not as reserved in front of Xiao Zhi. He glanced at Xiao Zhi and whispered: "Besides, uncle hasn't found a partner yet."
These words couldn't help but make Xiao Zhi's face turn red.
When Father Xiao heard this, he glared and said, "Is your uncle the same as you? Your uncle is a hero in this world, how can you be idle all day long, fooling around using your uncle's name, and bringing shame on your uncle's face? Totally lost!"
Fan Jiang's face turned red after being scolded by Xiao's father. He glanced at Xiao Zhi secretly and whispered: "Grandpa, please stop talking. If you continue to be so cruel to me, I will never come to see you again."
Father Xiao stared and was about to say something else when his mother Hu Lanzhi smoothed things over and said, "Okay, old man, just say a few words less. Jiang Bao still has a filial piety and will come to visit us every once in a while. This child has such a kind heart." It’s still good, I didn’t do anything bad, I was just a little playful.”
He does not mean that.
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Before this, he had not seen or spoken to his parents for a long time.
Regardless of his achievements in other areas, he was definitely unqualified in terms of being the Son of Man.
Originally, Xiao Zhi planned to stay here for a while and then leave. However, his mother Hu Lanzhi's unintentional words made him change his mind.
He decided to stay here and spend more time with his parents.
While Xiao Zhi was chatting with his parents, he suddenly felt something in his heart and sensed that someone was trying to call him through his Kunyu token.
The person calling him was Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong: "Brother Zhi, it's rare for you to come back a few times. Do you want me to call Zhao Yan, Hu Yang and the others, and let us get together as gods?"
Xiao Zhi: "Forget it, let's not delay their cultivation. We will have many opportunities to get together in the future. When the next guard mission starts, won't we be able to get together?"
Lu Zhong: "That's true. Speaking of guard missions, we haven't received any guard missions for almost two years."
Xiao Zhi: "Isn't this a good thing? The lower the frequency of guard missions, the lower the frequency of our great realm being invaded."
Lu Zhong: "Yes, Brother Zhi, you are right. This is indeed a good thing for us."
According to the original plan, Xiao Zhi only planned to spend one day visiting relatives and friends.
But in the end, the plan could not keep up with the change. Xiao Zhi stayed with his parents for three full days and took his parents to visit Dachang and its surroundings. Then he said goodbye to his parents and returned to Dachang Imperial City.
When saying goodbye to his parents, Xiao Zhi took out a set of innate spiritual treasure-level armor from his storage ring and gave it to his nephew Fan Jiang.
With his current wealth, he could have given Fan Jiang a magical weapon, but he did not do so.
Because he felt it was inappropriate to do so.
Fan Jiang is not even a Nascent Soul. With his little strength, if he carries a divine weapon, it will only harm him.
As for his parents, they already have a full set of innate spiritual treasures, so he doesn't need to worry about them at all...
After Xiao Zhi returned to Dachang Imperial City, he was not in a hurry to return to his private residence. Instead, he went straight to the best restaurant in the inner city of Dachang Imperial City.
There were already people standing outside the restaurant, looking forward to it.
After Xiao Zhi saw one of them, he smiled and said, "Master Li, why are you standing here?"
The person Xiao Zhi called Mr. Li was none other than Li Pingfeng.
After seeing Xiao Zhi, Li Pingfeng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards Xiao Zhi, with some fear on his face and said: "Emperor, you... please don't call me that, I can't afford you to call me that.
"
Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "It's just a title. I'm used to it. Also, don't use your honorifics to me. It sounds awkward to me."
While speaking, he had already walked up to Li Pingfeng and gave Li Pingfeng a big hug.
Li Pingfeng's body was a little stiff, and then he reached out and hugged Xiao Zhi, and a smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Zhi is now a high-level god, and he is considered to be the most powerful person in this world.
As for him, he is still just a peak Golden Core cultivator and has never been able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
The two of them are no longer in the same world.
But being hugged so affectionately by Xiao Zhi, he vaguely recalled the eventful years between him and Xiao Zhi, and felt warm in his heart.
"Great Emperor."
"Great Emperor." Yang Bin and several others also came over at this time, with respectful expressions on their faces.
These people were all old friends of Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi had not seen them for a long time.
Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded: "Don't stand here anymore, go in."
With that said, he walked towards the restaurant first.
Li Pingfeng and others quickly followed.
A few hours later, Xiao Zhi returned to his secluded mansion.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, spatial ripples visible to the naked eye appeared on Xiao Zhi's body. Soon, his figure turned into nothing and disappeared into his mansion.
In Dachang World, in the sky near the Kyoto Defense Circle, the air fluctuated like water, and the figure belonging to Xiao Zhi appeared here out of thin air.
As soon as Xiao Zhi's figure appeared in the air, it turned into bubbles and disappeared into the air.
He used the perfection-level [divine concealment technique] he had mastered to hide his body.
When Xiao Zhi's divine body came to the real world this time, he just wanted to take a look around and did not want to make a big splash, so he hid his figure immediately.
At his level, although this [divine concealment technique] has become increasingly unsatisfactory, when used in the real world, the effect is still very good.
The speed at which Xiao Zhi descended from his divine body to the real world and then became invisible was so fast that no detection equipment in the real world could detect his existence.
Xiao Zhi, who was in a hidden state, just put his hands behind his back and watched casually from the sky above the major defense circles, including the Kyoto defense circle.
‘The level of science and technology in the real world has obviously improved compared to before.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
'The number of defensive formations in the real world is obviously much greater than before, and the quality of the defensive formations has also improved. It seems that Lu Zhong and the others have put in a lot of effort in this regard.
.'
Xiao Zhi was quite satisfied with this.
'Let's go and look at other places and see what the situation is like in other places. After all, the best defensive effect can only be achieved if the defensive formations are spread all over the world.'
With this thought in his mind, Xiao Zhi left the area where the defensive circles were gathered silently, and his figure soon disappeared into the distant sky.
Flying all the way, Xiao Zhi saw one defensive formation after another.
Some defense formations are empty, while others contain facilities such as unmanned farms, unmanned chemical factories, and signal base stations.
Railways and highways connected these defense formations, continuously delivering various materials to the Kyoto Defense Circle and other human settlements...
Xiao Zhi stayed in the real world for almost two hours.
Overall, he is quite satisfied with the situation in the real world.
‘We’ve seen enough, it’s time to go back.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
At this time, he was floating in the sky over a vast ocean, with the sea breeze blowing on him, making him feel relaxed and happy.
Perhaps it is because he has understood the law of water, and now he feels very comfortable as long as he is in a place with water.
Soon, Xiao Zhi's figure turned into nothing and disappeared over the vast ocean.
In the world of sentient beings, Dachang Imperial City, in Xiao Zhi's quiet mansion, the air fluctuated like water, and Xiao Zhi's figure emerged from it, quickly becoming solid from illusion.
"This time I can be considered as taking a vacation for myself. It is a rare indulgence. After the indulgence, it is time to calm down and practice." Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged in the quiet courtyard, used his supernatural power to sweep away the dust accumulated in the courtyard, took out the Spirit of Quicksand, and prepared to practice the strange water of Quicksand Water in the next time.
Soon, a ray of Xiao Zhi's consciousness entered the alien space where the Liusha River was located through the spirit of quicksand floating in front of him.
The situation in this alien space is still the same as before. The Liusha River is like a turbid ocean, occupying Xiao Zhi's entire field of vision.
Just like before, Xiao Zhi soon turned into a gray fat-headed fish and landed in the turbid quicksand water with a thud.
During cultivation, time passes day by day.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed.
On this day, the fat-headed fish that Xiao Zhi transformed into was drifting with the waves in the turbid quicksand river. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and his body hovered in the quicksand water.
In front of his eyes, a line of golden text appeared like flowing water.
Just now, in his divine realm, his soul had completed the study of [Tianji Holy Body].
The moment he completed the study, his [Tianji Holy Body] had reached the entry level.
Immediately afterwards, two more lines of golden text appeared in front of his eyes like flowing water:
‘Congratulations, player, your [Tianyu Holy Body] has merged with [Tianji Holy Body], and your [Tianji Holy Body] has been upgraded from the entry level to the junior level.'
‘Congratulations, player, your [Tianyu Holy Body] has merged with [Tianji Holy Body], and your [Tianji Holy Body] has been upgraded from the minor level to the great level.'
After all the golden words floating in front of his eyes dissipated, the fat-headed fish transformed by Xiao Zhi couldn't help but grinned, showing a human smile.
‘This [Tianji Holy Body] has finally been studied.’
'As expected, my [Tianji Holy Body] has been upgraded two levels in a row, reaching the Dacheng level.'
‘I don’t know how this [Tianji Holy Body] is different from [Tianyu Holy Body].’
'After I get out, I have to take a good test.' Xiao Zhi muttered in his heart.
After a while, Xiao Zhi's consciousness returned to the world of living beings.
In the quiet mansion, Xiao Zhi collected the spirit of quicksand and slowly stood up from the ground.
Then he saw that a rich jade color appeared on his body, making him look as if he was carved from a piece of flawless jade.
Like this [Celestial Holy Body], it needs to be in the heaven to make a complete test on it.
But Xiao Zhi couldn't wait any longer, so he used [Tianji Holy Body] now.
He originally did not have high expectations for the Dacheng-level [Tianji Holy Body]. He felt that this Dacheng-level [Tianji Holy Body] was just so much better than the perfection-level [Tianyu Holy Body] he had before.
Just a little.
But when he displayed the Dacheng-level [Tianji Holy Body], his eyes widened, and then an incredible expression appeared on his face!
"This...is this [Tianji Holy Body]? This is too strong, too incredible, right?" Xiao Zhi murmured to himself, with surprise that could not be hidden in his words.
Because, he discovered that after he used the [Tianji Holy Body], he was able to resonate with the surrounding space, and then vaguely sensed the existence of the power of the world!
And what he sensed was not the power of the world of sentient beings, but the power of the world of heaven!
After being overjoyed, Xiao Zhi's face showed an expression of doubt again.
'This is the world of living beings, how can I sense the power of the world that belongs to the heaven?'
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Soon, his slightly frowning brows relaxed.
'In fact, there is nothing surprising. The heaven is the origin world of our great realm. According to myths and legends, all the large and small planes in our great realm originate from the heaven.
Everything derived from the world is inextricably linked to the heaven. In this case, it is not surprising that I can sense the power of the world belonging to the heaven in this world of living beings.'
'It depends on how much world power you can borrow.'
With this thought in his mind, Xiao Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky.
At this moment, the sky above Dachang Imperial City suddenly surged, and an invisible and immaterial force rushed in from all directions and rushed towards the quiet mansion where Xiao Zhi lived.
At this moment, many people in Dachang Imperial City were alarmed.
Many people looked up to the sky.
There was a flash of blue light, and the figure of a middle-aged man in blue shirt appeared in the sky above Dachang Imperial City.
In a place like Dachang Imperial City, monks are not qualified to vacate, only gods are qualified to vacate.
The fact that the middle-aged man in blue shirt could soar into the air at this time undoubtedly showed his identity.
This is a god.
This middle-aged man in blue shirt is the leader of Dachang Kingdom - the True Lord of Dachang!
"True Lord!"
"See the True Lord!" When the figure of the True Lord Dachang appeared in the sky, those in the Imperial City of Dachang who were looking up to the sky knelt down and shouted loudly.
True Lord Dachang did not speak. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes bursting with dazzling light, and his eyes wandered around the bustling Dachang Imperial City below, as if he was looking for something.
In the end, his eyes were fixed on somewhere in the imperial city...
Not long after, in the quiet mansion belonging to Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhizheng was sitting opposite Dachang Zhenjun.
Xiao Zhi said with some embarrassment: "Zhenjun, I forgot to exercise caution and caused some strange phenomena, which alarmed you. I'm sorry."
He really didn't expect that there would be such a big fuss.
After all, the power of the world is intangible and qualityless. Under normal circumstances, when the power of the world is invoked in a world, let alone ordinary people and monks, even gods cannot detect it.
Making such a big noise this time can only mean that he used too much force and invoked too much power of the world.
