The real reason was that he hadn't kissed anyone for years, and he wanted to kiss Yaochi's alluring red lips.
The three of them had not been cultivating for long, and they had not been detached from the mortal world. Even though their cultivation was profound, their behavior was still that of a twenty-year-old.
Feeling the moisture on the "Wisdom Pearl," Yang Qinglan also felt nostalgic, and a fire burned in her heart.
But she quickly calmed herself down, casually tapped Li Changzhou, who had been teasing her, with her Ruyi scepter, and then stepped out of the black mist to look at the Sage's Stone Slab.
Her comprehension was the strongest among the three, but among the more than 10,000 participants here, there must be some stronger than her. Should she give up?
The jade cauldron hummed softly on the auspicious clouds. After subduing the three thousand Dao Fires, this celestial artifact naturally possessed all the Daoist principles of heaven and earth.
A faint, mysterious humming appears; this is an acceleration of divine perception.
The pearl of wisdom shines within the abdomen like a small sun, a radiance of intelligence.
In Yang Qinglan's eyes, everything around her disappeared, even the stone slab was gone. It was as if she had arrived at the scene of the creation of heaven and earth, where the sage was transmitting the Dharma.
In the outside world, a second felt like an eternity to her. Of course, because she was having an epiphany, the long time actually felt very short.
For example, when I was comprehending the Dao in the third and fourth cities, my divine awareness spanned over a thousand years. Because I was immersed in the rapid progress of my enlightenment, it all passed in the blink of an eye.
"You give her good things, but what about me?" Yaochi made trouble for Li Changzhou.
"Just one bead."
“I remember when you coaxed the two of us to stack together, you said, ‘It won’t run away, one for each of us, and you won’t be biased.’”
"...Sister Yao, you should have some self-awareness, just like me. What good would it do you?"
Is this a question of whether it's useful or not?
The two were shrouded in a deep black mist, as if they were deep in thought.
The other participants around them all thought this was some kind of special field that could enhance their comprehension, and had no idea that the couple was just bickering.
While the two were exchanging a few words, Yang Qinglan had already finished her enlightenment.
Li Changzhou picked another Dao flower for her and personally placed it between her eyebrows, turning it into a petal-shaped Dao pattern.
“Alright, Sister Lan, quickly pass on the sacred techniques you have comprehended to us,” he said.
Yang Qinglan tapped him again with the Ruyi, and only then did he become familiar with "teleportation," passing on the Sage's Method to the two of them.
It's just a trick or two.
This is even more outrageous than buying the box and returning the pearl; it's like entering a treasure vault, opening the door, and then leaving with only the iron key in your hand.
Normally, Li Changzhou would have preferred to use stone slabs for his bedroom screen so that he could see it as soon as he got up and before he closed his eyes.
The three passed through the Sage's Slab.
"Perhaps this is also a test," Li Changzhou said with heartache.
Among the more than 10,000 powerful individuals present, besides being confident, fearless, and highly talented, there was another essential quality: a passion for cultivation.
Faced with the teachings of the sages, these devotees could only scratch the surface and had to give up, which must have been a painful experience.
Some people might actually give up their sainthood for these saintly laws.
The reason for giving up is not necessarily obsession; some people feel that with these methods of saints, they may be able to become saints on their own.
Alternatively, they could abandon the fourth temple, focus on improving their cultivation here, and then return to fight their way back in the later temples.
Leaving aside the specific reasons, when faced with this challenge, the more than 10,000 strong individuals were divided into two categories: those who advanced quickly and those who chose to stay.
Li Changzhou and Yaochi followed behind Yang Qinglan.
They were too lazy to look, as they couldn't see anything in a short time, and if they did, it would only cause them more heartache.
It's like taking the key and leaving without opening the treasure vault. Because you don't know what's inside, even if you know it's a treasure vault, you can still be at peace with yourself.
But once opened, one sees a forest of glittering golden pillars, each so large it takes more than a dozen people to encircle them. To walk on them at this point is like a mermaid coming ashore—every step is like a knife cutting into your heart, causing it to bleed.
The second saint is [Saint Dragon].
Few participants remained here. The Holy Dragon's power was so great that it was still being sung throughout the entire universe and endless time and space. As a result, many powerful individuals learned the Dragon Technique.
Although these dragon techniques are not sacred techniques, they can enhance one's understanding of sacred dragon techniques. This enhancement is sufficient for the more than ten thousand peerless experts present.
Yang Qinglan only glanced at it, then immediately transmitted a 'Dragon Claw' technique to the two of them before continuing on her way.
“No wonder the True Dragon is so arrogant; the [Sage Dragon] is actually ranked second,” Li Changzhou said.
“I find it a little funny,” Yaochi laughed. “Everyone in the world is learning dragon fist, dragon claw, and even transforming into a dragon body, but the Holy Dragon’s own child is practicing ‘human fist’.”
Human fist is very strong.
The few moves or techniques that Yang Qinglan has mastered can increase the combat power of people at their level by three or four times once they are used.
It's very easy for low-level cultivators to increase their combat power; increasing it tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold is not a problem because they still have enormous potential to tap into.
However, the peerless expert who has received the mandate of heaven nine times has already reached the peak. Every slight improvement is extremely difficult, but a single move or two of the human fist technique can directly increase combat power by three or four times.
A complete human fist could probably elevate combat power to an extremely terrifying level.
What's truly terrifying is that the primary purpose of human boxing is not combat, but rather health preservation and the enhancement of physical attributes.
Each time you practice the Human Fist, your aptitude and lifespan will increase by one point.
Legend has it that mastering the complete Sage's Method allows one to cultivate a true human body, which is the primordial divine body of later generations.
The true dragon chose to linger before the Sacred Dragon Slab.
The third stone slab is inscribed with "Sage/God".
The human body eventually transforms into the primordial divine body, thus revealing the awe-inspiring reputation of 'God'.
