Chapter 77
"After the Demon Saint, there is the Demon Emperor, then the Demon God, and after the Demon God, there is the Demon God."
"Longbao, you and Huofeng have a long way to go. You need to broaden your horizons!" The Creation Sword looked at the junior with a kind tone, but its words slowly made Longbao's pride disappear. "Moreover, leveling up will become increasingly difficult later on. You and Huofeng need to hone your skills!"
"Demon Emperor, Demon God, Demon King—to defeat a Mahayana cultivator, we need at least to reach the Demon Emperor level to be absolutely certain. We're still far from that level; we should look further ahead," Fire Phoenix said, taking a big bite of meat and chewing fiercely.
Longbao: "Okay, so we're still far from being good enough."
Luo Hengzhi grilled the meat, shaved the tenderest part onto a plate, and handed it to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took the roasted meat and noticed Luo Hengzhi's gaze frequently drifting to the demon core on the ground. She asked, "What are your thoughts on the demon core?"
“Hmm, I’m thinking about whether we should use the remaining mid-to-high-level demon cores to build a spaceship,” Luo Hengzhi said. “That way, when Master represents the sect and travels by spaceship, it will be very prestigious.”
“My junior brothers will definitely love it too. There are still many demon cores left, enough to build a giant spaceship,” Ye Zi said.
Luo Hengzhi: "Okay, we can add some modern technology to the spaceship, but we might need to go to Hengduo Technology."
No sooner had Luo Hengzhi finished speaking than a deafening ape cry echoed from the deep mountains, startling the birds and beasts in the forest into a frenzy.
"The little ape is about to transform into human form."
Longbao looked towards the deep mountains and stood up excitedly.
Little Ape is the only demon king in this secret realm who has gained intelligence, but due to a lack of elixirs, he has been unable to transform into human form. After being defeated by Long Bao, he voluntarily submits to become Long Bao's subordinate.
When Long Bao took on his first underling and became the leader, he specially asked Ye Zi for a top-grade Transformation Pill to give to the little ape.
"Let's go protect the little ape."
Fire Phoenix put down the meat in her hand and flew into the deep mountains with Dragon Baby.
Luo Hengzhi looked up at the flying dragon and fire phoenix, and the roasted meat that had been left behind.
"I never expected that Fire Phoenix would one day put down the food on her own. It seems they get along quite well," Ye Zi chuckled.
“They’ve faced each other countless times over the past ten years; it’s time they developed a bond,” Luo Hengzhi said.
"Ten years have passed. It's been a long time since I've seen Master and my junior brothers." This was the first time Ye Zi had been in seclusion for such a long time. Fortunately, she had a time-traveling artifact, so the time outside was only about ten days.
Luo Hengzhi: "If we stay here and fight any longer, there won't be much room for improvement. It's time to go out and let Master bring the junior brothers and Luo Yi and the others in for training."
Ye Zi nodded: "That's what I think too. The new disciples will be assigned to different peaks next year, and the junior brothers need to grow up as soon as possible so that they can stand on their own."
"I'm also curious about what my junior brothers will look like when they grow up."
Using time-manipulating artifacts to grow rapidly is a great idea!
Luo Hengzhi thought about the scene, her eyes crinkling with a smile. The little ones will be very handsome when they grow up.
Luo Hengzhi thought that Lingju Sect had recruited a group of youngsters this time. If they could all grow rapidly through the time-manipulation artifact, then Lingju Sect's strength could increase rapidly in a short period of time.
"If we could create an even larger time-manipulating artifact, it would be best if it could encompass the entire Lingju Sect," Luo Hengzhi proposed.
"You mean..." Ye Zi was once again shocked by Luo Hengzhi's peculiar idea. If this idea could really be realized, the future strength of Lingju Sect would be immeasurable!
"Let's go out and ask the seniors; they should know the solution," Ye Zi said, standing up.
"No rush," Luo Hengzhi said, taking Ye Zi's hand and pulling her back into his arms to sit down. "No rush, eat some more. We still need to wait for the Dragon Treasure Fire Phoenix."
Ye Zi thought the idea was so good that she almost forgot about the two little ones in her excitement.
Luo Hengzhi held Ye Zi in his arms, wrapped the fragrant roasted meat in lettuce, and fed Ye Zi bite by bite.
For the past ten years, Ye Zi has been fed like this by Luo Hengzhi, and has become accustomed to it.
But every time I see Luo Hengzhi from this angle, I'm still struck by his handsomeness!
Having been tempered by countless battles, Luo Hengzhi's temperament has become increasingly mature and composed. Her chiseled features are sharp and domineering, and the contours of her profile are more distinct and rugged, exuding an indescribable sexiness.
Ye Zi traced the defined jawline with her fingertips, gently lifting Luo Heng's chin. The ticklish sensation from her fingertips made Luo Heng's throat bob, but she did not stop Ye Zi's playful actions.
He continued feeding her as if nothing had happened, and Ye Zi ate with a clear conscience, but his hands didn't stop moving. He stroked her Adam's apple and then reached for her muscular chest muscles.
Having endured to the extreme, Luo Hengzhi grasped Ye Zi's provocative fingers, raised her eyes slightly with tenderness, and gently kissed her fingertips.
A single fingertip kiss made Ye Zi's heart race. Meeting Luo Hengzhi's gentle gaze, she felt as if she would be swallowed up by tenderness and affection in the next second.
Luo Hengzhi swept Ye Zi up in his arms, and the two disappeared from the spot.
Inside a cave, figures entwined.
......
"My boss and master have been in seclusion for ten days. With the blessing of the time-traveling artifact, that's ten years. Ten years of cultivation. I wonder how my boss's cultivation is now." Luo Yi looked towards the seclusion area on the back mountain, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
Between the Lingju Sect, the business down the mountain, and their personal cultivation, Luo Yi and Huo Qinglei were incredibly busy every day. Although they had already started cultivating and their spirits were a hundred times better than before, they still needed coffee to keep going.
"That time-traveling artifact is truly amazing. I wish we could go in and cultivate there too." Huo Qinglei glanced at the two of them, both at the second level of Qi Refining, and shook his head. Their cultivation speed was too slow.
Especially compared to Luo Hengzhi, she's simply...
Forget it! She can't compare to Luo Hengzhi!
Luo Yi: "When my boss comes back, I'll ask if we can borrow him for a couple of days so we can go in and cultivate for two years."
"I take what you say seriously." Huo Qinglei forcefully touched Luo Yi's coffee cup to his, meaning that since their cups had touched, the matter was settled.
The ringing of the bell interrupted their brief moment of relaxation.
“It’s my boss.” Luo Yi stared at the phone contact for a moment, “Speak of the devil and he appears! My boss has finally come out of seclusion.”
"Boss." Luo Yi answered the call.
"Where? Come to Hengfeng." Hengfeng is a secondary peak in a relatively remote location, which Ye Zilu and Hengzhi chose to make it their exclusive territory.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Luo Yi hung up the phone and patted Huo Qinglei on the shoulder. "Wait for my news. I'll come find you as soon as I borrow it. I'll bring Jiang Mo with me then."
Huo Qinglei: "I'd better go with you. I need to see how amazing Luo Hengzhi's cultivation has become after ten years."
"Let's go." Luo Yi and Huo Qinglei headed towards Hengfeng together.
Both of them were at the Qi Refining stage, so they could only walk there.
Luo Yi suggested building a track or elevator, but the idea was rejected because it would be difficult to cultivate.
When the two arrived at Hengfeng, Master Yunqing and Elder Qian were already there.
"You mean you want to build a large-scale time-manipulation artifact within the Lingju Sect's territory?" Master Yunqing and Elder Qian exchanged glances upon hearing Luo Hengzhi's idea.
Master Yunqing knew that this idea was excellent, but how to implement it was another matter, so he looked at Elder Qian.
Master Qian: "It is possible, but..." This time-traveling artifact was not crafted by him.
Old Qian then looked at Luo Hengzhi beside him and began searching his body.
Finally, they found an ancient book that showed it had been read many times.
"The method for crafting time-based magical artifacts, as well as the materials required, are all here. However, resources are scarce here, so it's impossible to find all the materials. Fortunately, they are not irreplaceable."
"But as for how to replace it specifically, that's up to you."
Luo Hengzhi took it and saw that it not only recorded the specific production method of the time-manipulating artifact, but also included detailed design ideas.
The author of this book put a lot of effort into it, and the content is very clear.
"It looks a bit like your handwriting."
Ye Zi stood beside Luo Hengzhi and said.
She had seen Luo Hengzhi's handwriting before. The handwriting here was very similar to Luo Hengzhi's writing habits, but there were also differences. The difference was that the characters here had a more flamboyant and domineering brushstroke.
The words are concise and refined, and the author exudes an air of omnipotent confidence and unrestrained detachment from all things!
As for why Ye Zi recognized him at a glance, it was because this was the first time Ye Zi met Luo Hengzhi, and this was how he thought Luo Hengzhi should look!
Just like he should have!
Old Qian: "It was written by him, so the handwriting is naturally similar. The time-traveling artifact you are using was also made by him before."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi was still surprised that it really was Luo Hengzhi.
No wonder she had that thought when she first met Luo Hengzhi. It turns out that even though she had forgotten everything, his original appearance was still deeply engraved in her mind!
Looking at the notes, Luo Hengzhi felt a strange sense of familiarity. Just as Qian Lao had said, the materials were incomplete.
He had never even heard of some of the materials recorded here: "I need to study them and see how to replace them."
Luo Yi and Huo Qinglei walked in, and Ye Zi handed the time artifact to Master Yun Qing, saying, "Master, the time artifact is really useful. Why don't you take your junior brothers, Luo Yi, Huo Qinglei, and Jiang Mo to the secret realm to cultivate for a while?"
Seeing that Luo Hengzhi had already reached the Nascent Soul stage after ten days of cultivation, Master Yunqing naturally did not refuse. He took the time-traveling artifact, turned around and called over Luo Yi and Huo Qinglei, who had just entered.
"Come with me."
"Hey, boss." Luo Yi had just glanced at his master when he hadn't even had a chance to speak.
Luo Hengzhi waved his hand, indicating that Luo Yi should follow Master Yunqing.
Seeing his boss's intention, Luo Yi said nothing and left.
He came here to borrow the time-traveling artifact, and before he even opened his mouth, his goal was achieved. His master was indeed very thoughtful.
I couldn't tell his boss's cultivation level just now, but seeing how handsome his boss's face has become, his cultivation level must have improved a lot this time.
"My friends are calling me to come online, so here I am." Old Qian held his phone, having lived for millions of years, he had found a different kind of fun in his phone.
Ye Zi looked at Mr. Qian, who was engrossed in his phone, and smiled: "It seems that you have already gotten used to and integrated into your current life."
Luo Hengzhi raised his hand and ruffled Ye Zi's hair, then pulled Ye Zi into his arms: "Now it's just the two of us. I can't understand these materials by myself, so I might need Ye Zi to explain them to me."
Ye Zi leaned against Luo Hengzhi's chest. Seeing that the required materials were indeed rare and she couldn't recognize them all, she suggested, "Why don't we go to the Scripture Pavilion? There are materials there that we can consult, and we can study them together."
"Alright."
Before the words were even finished, the next second, Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi were already in the Scripture Pavilion. Luo Hengzhi was leaning against the bookshelf, while Ye Zi was still leaning against Luo Hengzhi.
Ye Zi sighed in amazement, "The teleportation of the Divine Domain at the Nascent Soul stage is really fast; the two of them didn't even change their posture!"
She needs to cultivate diligently and advance to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!
Just as Ye Zi was engrossed in her obsession with cultivating and becoming stronger, Luo Hengzhi turned around and pressed Ye Zi against the bookshelf, shielding her with his hand behind her back to prevent her from getting hurt.
Ye Zi was caught off guard by the unexpected spin and gasped for breath. She looked down at her waist, which was held captive by Luo Hengzhi.
[Isn't she looking up information? Is Luo Hengzhi trying to play a library game?]
Upon hearing Ye Zi's thoughts, Luo Hengzhi chuckled softly.
"Do you remember, before, here, Xiao Yezi gradually cornered me?" Luo Hengzhi's arm around her waist tightened little by little, their bodies almost touching, their breaths almost touching. "Back then, Xiao Yezi was this close to me."
