Xiao Zhi nodded when he heard this and said: "I know this."
Venerable Wu Lie said: "Although my strength is far inferior to yours, Fellow Taoist Xiao, I am still a Nascent Soul cultivator. Tai Xuzi and Qing Xuzi have both recruited me, but I rejected them. Do you know why, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"
"
‘How do I know this?’ Xiao Zhixin said.
But he said: "I don't know, please ask fellow Taoist Wu Lie to clarify my doubts."
Venerable Wu Lie said: "Tai Xuzi has been following the True Lord for the longest time, and he has long lost his ambition to cultivate and progress. He seems to be generous, but in fact he is indifferent, which makes me dislike him. Qing Xuzi is narrow-minded, selfish and cold, and I don't like him either...
"
"What about Yu Xuzi?" Xiao Zhi asked.
He really wanted to hear how this Venerable Wu Lie would judge Yu Xuzi.
Venerable Wu Lie pondered for a while and said: "I don't have much contact with Yu Xuzi. I only know that Yu Xuzi is obsessed with cultivation and loves adventure. Therefore, he trapped himself in the cold mountain realm. Only then did he
It is the cause of the decline of your Yuxu lineage. This Yuxuzi's cultivation talent is stronger than his two senior brothers. The true king once said that Yuxuzi has the appearance of becoming a god. It is a pity..."
‘The posture of becoming a god…’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
Now he already knows that for a Yuanying monk, the evaluation of the posture of becoming a god is a very high evaluation. All Yuanying monks who can be evaluated like this are extremely talented people.
.
Xiao Zhi thought for a moment and then asked: "Fellow Taoist Wu Lie, has Yu Xuzi ever recruited you?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Wu Lie shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Yu Xuzi is obsessed with cultivation and doesn't care much about such things."
Xiao Zhi nodded. By this time, he had almost figured out the purpose of Venerable Wu Lie's visit.
If his guess is correct, the purpose of this Venerable Wu Lie coming here is most likely to join his Yuxu lineage!
After all, the current Yuxu lineage is no longer what it was back then.
The previous Yuxu lineage became increasingly weak because Yuxuzi disappeared in the cold mountain realm, and only Venerable Ji Shi, a peak Nascent Soul monk, was left struggling to support it.
It’s different now. In addition to Venerable Ji Shi, a peak Yuanying monk, there is now a new Yuxu peak monk in the Shenmen Yuxu lineage.
Not only that, Xiao Zhi, the newly promoted Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, is incredibly powerful in combat, far surpassing those ordinary Nascent Soul Peak cultivators!
Today's Shenmen Yuxu lineage, because of Xiao Zhi's existence, is already worthy of seeking refuge.
Xiao Zhi thought about this in his mind, and said with a faint smile: "If Taoist Fellow Wu Lie is interested, I can help you introduce Taoist Fellow Ji Shi. Fellow Taoist Ji Shi is a kind-hearted person and has a kind heart. He treats his own people very well, and he is very kind."
Worth making friends with.”
He was inviting Venerable Wu Lie in a rather subtle way to join the Yuxu lineage of Shenmen where he belongs. Although he said it in a rather subtle way, Venerable Wu Lie was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years. He must have
It can be understood.
After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Venerable Wu Lie with a smile, waiting for Venerable Wu Lie to make a decision.
Under his gaze, Venerable Wu Lie shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Taoist Xiao, I think you have misunderstood. I do not want to join the Yuxu lineage."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
He guessed wrong.
Venerable Wu Lie came here this time not as he thought, but to join the Yuxu lineage of Shenmen.
Then why did he come?
"Then why are you here, Fellow Daoist Wu Lie?" Xiao Zhi stopped making random guesses and asked directly.
Under Xiao Zhi's gaze, Venerable Wu Lie suddenly took a step back, then flicked his sleeves, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed deeply to Xiao Zhi!
Xiao Zhi was startled by Venerable Wu Lie's sudden move. He couldn't help but stand up, took a step back and said, "Fellow Taoist Wu Lie, what do you mean?"
Venerable Wu Lie kowtowed again and said respectfully: "Wu Lie is willing to be driven by Venerable Xiao, and I sincerely ask Venerable Xiao to take him in!"
With Venerable Wu Lie like this, how could Xiao Zhi still not understand the purpose of his coming here.
The purpose of Venerable Wu Lie coming here is not to join the Yuxu lineage, but... to recognize him as Xiao Zhi as his master!
After understanding this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
You, Wu Lie, are a dignified Shenmen venerable and a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage. Compared to me, your cultivation level is only a small level lower than mine. You actually want to recognize me as your master? Are you kidding me?
Xiao Zhi said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist Wu Lie, why are you doing this?"
Venerable Wu Lie knelt on the ground and said in a respectful voice: "Because you have the appearance of becoming a god! Good birds choose trees to roost on, and so do I!"
"
Xiao Zhidao: "Yu Xuzi also has the appearance of becoming a god. Why didn't you take refuge in him at that time?"
Venerable Wu Lie said respectfully: "Although Yu Xuzi's cultivation qualifications are very good, compared to you, they are like clouds of mud."
Xiao Zhi stopped talking and stared at Lord Wu Lie, thinking: "You are realistic enough. You know that I have a higher possibility of becoming a god, so you took the initiative to seek refuge with me..."
Seeing that he was silent, Venerable Wu Lie, who was kneeling on the ground, said respectfully: "All the wealth I have accumulated in my life can be dedicated to help the Venerable become a god!"
"I am the venerable Shenmen, and I will handle all affairs within the Shenmen with the venerable leadership of the venerable one!"
"I am the master of Cangzhou Dao. From now on, it is you who have the final say on this Cangzhou Dao!"
"I am a late-stage Nascent Soul monk. I can either charge into battle for His Holiness or guard one side for His Holiness!"
Xiao Zhi still just stared at Lord Wu Lie, silent.
He was thinking that if there really was a late Yuanying monk who was willing to follow him and do things for him, it would seem pretty good and have many benefits.
The real world where he is now is in urgent need of Nascent Soul-level combat power. This Venerable Wulie is a late-stage Nascent Soul monk, and his combat power is quite good. As he said, whether he is sent to charge into battle,
It is very appropriate to send him to guard one side.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Zhi said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
The bustling world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit. Xiao Zhi doesn't believe that he has the legendary aura of king and domineering. A powerful monk in the late Yuan Ying stage can be defeated with just one shake of his tiger body.
He bowed his head and cried and shouted to follow him!
He is not narcissistic to this extent yet.
This Venerable Wu Lie must have a purpose for taking the initiative to follow him!
Faced with Xiao Zhi's inquiry, Venerable Wu Lie said respectfully: "If the Venerable can become a god, I hope that the Venerable can give me some pointers on the path of practice. Apart from that, Wu Lie has nothing else to ask for!"
This request made by Venerable Wu Lie was within Xiao Zhi's expectation.
After all, at the level of Lord Wu Lie, most things in this world are no longer attractive to him. In this world where great power is concentrated in one body, strength is the ultimate pursuit of many monks in this world.
Venerable Wu Lie is naturally no exception.
Xiao Zhi longed to become a god, so he practiced so hard.
And Venerable Wu Lie also longs to become a god!
Xiao Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "The true king is a god, hasn't he given you some guidance?"
Venerable Wu Lie was silent for a moment and said: "No, I am not a disciple of Zhenjun, so I don't get such treatment."
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this. This was the knowledge blockade.
For example, if he hadn't met Zhenlan Cannian by chance, even now, he would probably be at a loss as to how to cultivate to become a god.
Because the knowledge related to this is top secret in this world of living beings, it is extremely difficult for even Nascent Soul cultivators, who are like living gods in the eyes of ordinary people, to know this.
In fact, not only in the world of living beings, but also in the real world where Xiao Zhi lives, in that world of information explosion, there are many information blockades. The top science and technology are all controlled by those big countries.
In our hands, the knowledge that can be queried on the Internet will only be some of the most basic scientific knowledge. These top science and technologies will never be made public.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Zhi looked at Venerable Wu Lie and said, "Fellow Taoist Wu Lie, why do you think that I can give you guidance on your spiritual path?"
Venerable Wu Lie said respectfully: "Once the Venerable becomes a god, he will definitely be able to give me advice."
Xiao Zhi wanted to say, what if I can't become a god? Are you still willing to follow me?
However, he swallowed the words before he could say them.
He felt that it was a bit unlucky to say such words. If the words came true accidentally, he would probably be worried about death.
He thought for a while and said, "I need to think about it."
When Venerable Wu Lie heard this, he still knelt down and said: "Please take me in, Venerable!"
He lowered his profile extremely low and begged Xiao Zhi to take him in.
Xiao Zhi remained silent and closed his eyes. It seemed that he was thinking with his eyes closed. In fact, his consciousness had quietly returned to the real world.
Xiao Zhi felt that for such an important matter, it would be better to tell the army of sentient beings to avoid any suspicion between them, which would be bad.
Xiao Zhi closed his eyes and 'thought', the air fluctuated, and a figure emerged from the air, it was the demon Li Kuo.
Li Kuo stood beside Xiao Zhi and looked at Venerable Wu Lie with a complicated expression on his face.
Regarding Venerable Wu Lie's initiative to seek refuge, there was no disdain on his face.
Because, in this world of living beings, it is normal for the weak to be attached to the strong. Not to mention the Venerable Wu Lie, the same is true for him Li Kuo.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Venerable Wu Lie is like a living god. Even in the eyes of warrior monks, he is like a towering mountain. But in front of Xiao Zhi, this can only be regarded as nothing more than a towering mountain.
A weakling!
Li Kuo has been following Xiao Zhi all day long, and he knows very well about Xiao Zhi's current strength.
Even though Venerable Wu Lie is a late-stage Nascent Soul monk, and is only a small level behind Xiao Zhi in terms of cultivation level, in terms of combat power, the gap between them is extremely huge.
It can be said that even if ten Venerable Wu Lie join forces, they may not be an opponent of Xiao Zhi!
Even if Venerable Wu Lie is kneeling on the ground, he can still feel the appearance of the demon Li Kuo.
He sent a message to Li Kuo: "Fellow Daoist Li, please say a few words for me. Wu Lie appreciates your love."
Li Kuo sent a message and replied: "Okay, I will help you say a few words. As for whether it will succeed or not, I can't guarantee it."
"Thank you very much." Venerable Wu Lie sent a message of thanks.
In this way, after about half a quarter of an hour passed, Xiao Zhi slowly opened his eyes.
Although he looked calm on the outside, he was smiling in his heart.
As he expected, the army of sentient beings really approved of Venerable Wu Lie's initiative to surrender.
This is Nascent Soul-level combat power delivered to your door, don’t give it up for free!
Once Venerable Wu Lie surrenders to him, Xiao Zhi, to the All Living Beings Army, Venerable Wu Lie will be considered one of their own, and the Cangzhou Daocheng under his jurisdiction can, in a sense, be regarded as the territory of the All Living Beings Army.
, the army of sentient beings can also act better here.
This is definitely a good thing for the army of sentient beings!
After opening his eyes, Xiao Zhi said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Wu Lie, get up."
Venerable Wu Lie still kowtowed and knelt down.
Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, didn't fellow Taoist just say that he wanted to follow me? Since he wanted to follow me, wouldn't fellow Taoist listen to what I said?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Wu Lie suddenly showed an expression of joy on his face, and kowtowed again: "Wu Lie, see you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Zhi said calmly: "Get up."
"Yes!" Venerable Wu Lie stood up. Even after standing up, he still hung his head slightly, looking very respectful.
Xiao Zhidao: "As long as Wu Lie can serve me wholeheartedly, I promise you that if I become a god, I will give you some pointers. I have a way to become a god here, and I can tell you when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Wu Lie showed an expression of ecstasy on his face, and kowtowed again: "I will swear allegiance to the Lord to the death, and I will never have any second thoughts!"
Xiao Zhi nodded slightly and said calmly: "You can call me by the title of Lord in private, but publicly, you and I will still treat each other as Taoist friends."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Venerable Wu Lie said respectfully.
Xiao Zhi nodded slightly and said no more.
"Your Majesty, this is just a spiritual stone, so disrespectful!" Venerable Wu Lie took out a ring from his body and handed it to Xiao Zhi respectfully.
Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand to take it, exuding a ray of consciousness and inserted it into it.
A total of 20,000 spirit stones are neatly stacked in this storage ring, emitting a milky white hazy light.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel happy.
He was quite satisfied with this 'surrender' gift from Venerable Wu Lie.
He lacks nothing now except spiritual stones!
After Lord Wu Lie left, Xiao Zhi exuded a trace of true energy, swept away the dust on the ground, and sat down cross-legged in the courtyard again.
This time he did not immediately engage in practice, but sighed slightly in his heart.
After going through this series of events, the fatigue he had accumulated due to the intense practice of visualizing the [Dharma of the Mighty Heavenly King] had long since dissipated.
He is now in high spirits and in great spirits!
It seems that when it comes to sharpening his mental strength, he has to start the clock again.
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhi, who had calmed down, sank into the illusion of the Buddhist kingdom condensed by the [Dharma Appearance of the Mighty Heavenly King], and began to fight fiercely in this illusion of the Buddhist kingdom.
