The strange phenomenon of heaven and earth lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

The golden beams of light gradually faded away until the night turned into day and the sky became clear again.

On the stone platform deep inside the stele, everyone stood up.

They knew that after the strange phenomena in heaven and earth faded away, it would be the time for Li Zhiming to come out.

Then, dozens of disciples held their breath and looked in the direction of the stone tablet.

As expected.

The door at the base of the stone tablet opened.

Waves of mysterious aura spread out.

Li Zhiming's figure also slowly emerged.

All eyes were on him.

Liu Feiyun jumped up, jumped off the stone platform, and landed next to Li Zhiming.

"Junior Brother Li, congratulations."

"I never thought that you could comprehend the inheritance on the stone tablet that even the Saint Girl couldn't comprehend easily in less than three days. I admire your talent."

Liu Feiyun exclaimed and gave Li Zhiming a thumbs up.

"Brother Liu, you are too kind. I still know myself. I can't compare with the Saint Girl. This time it was just luck. It's not really a skill."

Li Zhiming shook his head and said this very modestly.

"Junior Brother Li, you are too low-key."

"By the way, may I ask what level of skills or martial arts Junior Brother Li has comprehended?" Liu Feiyun asked again.

"Heavenly Stage."

Li Zhiming replied.

Naturally, he would not say that he had comprehended the immortal-level skills.

If this news gets out, the old guys in the sect will probably have some thoughts about me.

He still understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

“Although it is Heavenly Rank, the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth it created is so powerful, even more so than the Saint’s. I’m afraid it must be a high Heavenly Rank, or even the top Heavenly Rank, right?”

Liu Feiyun asked tentatively.

"almost."

Li Zhiming simply replied.

"That's awesome, Junior Brother Li."

"That bastard Peng Li deserves to die. You are the future of Qingluan Peak, but he deliberately slandered you, causing your cultivation to be abolished and you to be demoted to a menial servant in Xuyuan Prison. If it weren't for Junior Brother Li's good fortune, my Qingluan Peak would have lost a peerless genius." Liu Feiyun sighed.

"Speaking of Peng Li, does Senior Brother Liu know where he is?"

Li Zhiming asked.

At the beginning, Peng Li colluded with Tian Yaoyao and Qi Yang, a group of dogs and men, to slander him.

Now, it's time to repay the debt.

"Peng Li was demoted to a nominal disciple, fined half a year's salary, and confined for three months. He is now imprisoned in the Qingluan Peak's Repentance Cliff."

"But Peng Li is so vicious and framed you. This punishment is really too light. His cultivation should be abolished and he should also go to Xuyuan Prison to experience what it feels like."

"Junior brother, do you want me to help you teach him a lesson?"

Liu Feiyun said indignantly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Liu. I'll handle this matter myself."

Li Zhiming bowed and said, then left quickly.

The disciples here were all staring at him with burning eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up.

I'm afraid they all have their own ideas about the inheritance they have comprehended.

"Junior Brother Li, slow down, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Liu Feiyun hurriedly followed and whispered in Li Zhiming's ear: "Junior Brother Li, this time you comprehended the stone tablet and obtained a powerful inheritance. Many people are eyeing you. They are probably wondering if you will share the inheritance with the sect, so that they will have the opportunity to borrow it from the Sutra Library."

"Why should we share such a good thing?"

"What's more, there is a time limit on the stone tablet. I haven't been able to fully understand it myself. I only remember the general tips for practicing it."

Li Zhiming replied indifferently.

The saint didn’t share what she had gained back then, so why should he share?

However, Li Zhiming had a hunch that someone would definitely try to persuade him, even by using threats or inducements!

"Junior Brother Li, although that's what you said, others don't think so."

"You are a new disciple, and your foundation is still shallow. I guess there are many senior members of the sect waiting for you outside. Once you go out, those seniors will surround you. On the surface, they will greet you, but in fact, they are putting pressure on you."

"Of course, if you have the same status as the Saint, few people would dare to put pressure on you."

Liu Feiyun continued.

"I see."

Li Zhiming touched his chin and nodded slightly.

It seems that my guess is correct, and there will be many people who will come to convince me.

Just as Liu Feiyun said, although he was a direct disciple, he was only Jin Yue'er's direct disciple after all.

Even though he had Old Qin behind him, Old Qin was guarding Xuyuan Prison, and distant water could not put out a nearby fire.

If he was the direct disciple of the abbot of Qingluan Peak, he should be able to leave Cangbei Valley easily today.

While spiritual practice is important, social skills are equally important.

It’s just like the old saying goes, “If you want to make it in life, you need a background, you little bastard.”

"Li Zhiming!"

Just as Li Zhiming was thinking about how to deal with those old guys in the sect who coveted the inheritance in his hands, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

Swish~!

Dai Chunyang fell from the stone platform and blocked his way.

"What can I do for you, Brother Dai?"

Li Zhiming stopped and asked lightly.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you, what have you learned from the stone tablet?" Dai Chunyang laughed coldly.

"I didn't comprehend anything, just a heavenly level technique."

"I think that as Senior Brother Dai is the direct disciple of the Grand Commander of the Punishment Hall, he should not need this crappy martial arts." Li Zhiming said with a smile.

After these words were spoken, many people frowned and some even clenched their fists.

Li Zhiming's words are so irritating.

What does it mean to be just a heavenly-level martial arts technique?

This is clearly an attempt to stir up hatred!

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Dai Chunyang pointed at Li Zhiming's nose, his face full of anger.

"Is there a problem? What could be on this stone tablet?"

"It's just a heavenly-level martial arts technique." Li Zhiming spread his hands, acting very indifferent.

“You…” Dai Chunyang gritted his teeth and then said, “Since Junior Brother Li despises this Heaven-level technique, why not give it to me?”

"For you?"

"Brother Dai, are you born in the year of the dog? Why do you like to wag your tail and beg so much?" Li Zhiming mocked.

"You're looking for death!"

Dai Chunyang was unable to argue with Li Zhiming and flew into a rage, unable to help but radiate violent energy.

Li Zhiming's hair fluttered gently, and he didn't care about Dai Chunyang's threat at all.

Those in the late sixth rank were no match for him at all.

Among the younger generation of the Inner Sect, there are not many who can pose a threat to him, only top geniuses like Li Qingyue who have reached the fifth level.

"Dai Chunyang, it seems that the lesson I taught you three days ago was not enough!"

Li Zhiming's tone was cold, and the chill swept out, instantly enveloping Dai Chunyang.

Dai Chunyang subconsciously took half a step back.

For some reason, after being stared at by Li Zhiming, he had the illusion that he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"Haha, I didn't bother to argue with you three days ago, but if you insist on seeking death now, then I can only let you see the strength of the disciples of the Punishment Hall."

"Perhaps it's because we, the disciples of the Punishment Hall, have been silent for too long. A fellow like you dares to act so presumptuous in front of me. You really don't know what's good for you!"

"Okay, I'll be serious for once today."

Dai Chunyang shook his neck, making a terrifying crisp sound. Those who didn't know would think that he had broken his neck.

Li Zhiming narrowed his eyes, wondering where Dai Chunyang got his confidence from.

But it’s better this way. If we defeat Dai Chunyang today, we will have less trouble in the future.

After all, Dai Chunyang is at the late sixth level, and there are not many younger people in the inner sect who can surpass him in combat power.

But in this way, Tian Yaoyao and Qi Yang, the couple, will know their own strength.
