Chapter 522: Merely Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

　　Knock. Knock. Knock.

　　“Is Lord Saint around?”

　　Nuwa, Yun Shu, Jade Emperor, and Empress stood politely outside the four-part architecture—waiting.

　　Click!

　　The door opened. Xiao Bai then looked out and scanned at the people with a glow from his eyes before saying, “Please come in.”

　　The crowd instantly stiffened their bodies upon seeing Xiao Bai and said, “Greetings to Lord Xiao Bai, thank you.”

　　One could only imagine how nervous they were if they had seen Xiao Bai’s performance last night. Xiao Bai looked like a serving robot but was also a mega bigshot!

　　If they had not come to the four-part architecture, they would not have known what being ‘low-key’ was!

　　They saw Li Nianfan tidying things as they entered the four-part architecture and greeted, “Lord Saint, sorry for visiting you without an invitation.”

　　Meanwhile, Li Nianfan was tidying up with Daji and Fire Phoenix as the entire four-part architecture was piled with small items. All of it was last night’s gifts from the guests. How generous of them! There were just too many! If the four-part architecture had not gotten bigger, they would not have been able to contain all of it!

　　Immortals were immortals! How generous! They had everything!

　　Li Nianfan said, “You didn’t disturb me, come in and have a seat. My house is a little messy right now, let me tidy it up. Xiao Bai, bring some tea for the guests.”

　　Jade Empress quickly said, “Thank you, Lord Saint. Please don’t mind us.”

　　The four of them sat nervously in their seats and could not help looking at the gifts. All of them were jolted with shocks in their eyes from just a look.

　　They could feel a huge Spiritual Qi moving from within the gifts. Its frequency was so high that even Nuwa and Yun Shu were shocked.

　　Furthermore, it was not coming from just one gift…all those gifts were similar!

　　However, the glow was internally contained as they were keeping things low.

　　Luckily, it was the expert’s yard. Otherwise, those gifts would have attracted so much attention and been stolen if they were placed outside!

　　Those gifts were not from his guests but due to being washed by the rain since that area was at the heart of the rain last night. The rain would have leveled up and improved those gifts.

　　Nuwa could not help looking at Daji and Fire Phoenix as it crossed her mind.

　　They were beautiful and elegant. They looked formal and happy.

　　Of course, that was not the crux.

　　The crux was…the lack of Qi presence in Daji and Fire Phoenix. Their power had been contained. Other than their temperament, they looked just like two ordinary women!

　　They were of course not ordinary women! The fact that Nuwa could no longer see through them showed that…

　　Daji and Fire Phoenix had overpowered her!

　　In the past, Daji and Fire Phoenix would suppress their Qi but Nuwa could still clearly see them. However, she could not notice anything at that moment!

　　T-t-this…

　　Nuwa’s heart dropped. She could not help biting her lips and asked softly, “Cultivator Yun Shu, can you see through Immortal Daji and Immortal Fire Phoenix’s cultivation?”

　　Yun Shu shook her head with a similarly perplexed look.

　　Jade Emperor’s eyes instantly widened and asked in disbelief, “Empress Nuwa and Empress Yun Shu, both of you really can’t see through their cultivation?”

　　Nuwa sighed and sourly said, “Why would I lie? Their strength is now beyond ours!”

　　“Gasp…”

　　Jade Emperor and Empress gasped with buzzing heads and shaking hearts. They mumbled blankly, “Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals?!”

　　What was their cultivation before they slept together?

　　They just reached Daluo Golden Immortal not too long ago!

　　They had skipped Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint’s massive bottleneck in one go and went straight into Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

　　It was greater than an ordinary man turning into an Immortal! It was a hundred, a thousand… No, ten thousand times greater!

　　Damn it!

　　How shocking!

　　Was that even fair?

　　Nuwa and Yun Shu felt very bitter as they had worked hard for countless years and had to give up so much to reach their current state. However, the two of them merely slept for a night and had already superseded them! What was the point of cultivating?

　　It was unfair!

　　The Jade Emperor and Empress wanted to faint!

　　They had always wanted to become a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal but it did not happen. They had tried everything to make a breakthrough and even wanted to self-cultivate for 100,000 years and yet…

　　There was no point comparing!

　　They had reached the realm many dared not to even dream of within only a single night! Was that even plausible? How outrageous! Was that the benefit of sleeping with a bigshot?

　　Was he still accepting new applicants?

　　They really did not want to work hard anymore…

　　The more Jade Empress thought about it, the angrier she was and immediately pinched the Jade Emperor.

　　“Just looking at them—you’re too weak!”

　　Meanwhile, Li Nianfan had finished tidying. He clapped his hands and smilingly walked over with a crystal ball. “Empress Yun Shu, thank you for sending me a television when I needed one.”

　　Yun Shu smiled. “It’s just an insignificant gift. It’s fine as long as you like it.”

　　“I like it. Right, what did all of you do this time? You’ve gained so much Deluxe Merits!”

　　Li Nianfan said as he waved. An ocean of Deluxe Merit rushed over not only to the four of them but also was being dispersed to their surroundings. He repaid their favors in one go!

　　Jade Emperor and the group quickly took out their treasures. Nuwa and Yun Shu took out the lotus and mirror. They would be able to upgrade them to the Heavenly Deluxe Treasures level with such an amount of Deluxe Merit! The crowd was flushing with excitement upon recalling how powerful they would become.

　　The crowd then thanked upon receiving everything, “Thank you, Lord Saint.”

　　Li Nianfan was curious. “Are all of you related to the world’s changes?”

　　The Jade Emperor looked at Li Nianfan and bit his tongue to say softly, “Cough cough, just very little.”

　　Li Nianfan nodded and said, “You’ve changed the world and received a lot of Deluxe Merits! I woke up this morning and was shocked by this world’s changes. It was shockingly beyond my imagination!”

　　The crowd was speechless upon looking at Li Nianfan’s sincere eyes.

　　His acting was too professional.

　　‘Bigshot, we beg you don’t laugh at us. We’re the ones who were shocked!’

　　Nuwa’s mouth twitched and said, “The Eldritch World isn’t only a few times larger than before—even the surroundings have been expanded. The size is now at least over a few hundred times bigger than before.”

　　Li Nianfan gasped and shockingly said, “A few hundred times? So much? So there’ll be lots of powerful beings from now on?”

　　He had no idea how big it was, but it must be very large!

　　A few hundred times bigger was indeed terrifying. Would he be able to walk around before his life ended?

　　“Many powerful beings would exist here, but don’t worry as everything is within our control,” reassured the Jade Emperor.

　　Li Nianfan nodded. Although he was shocked, he was not scared.

　　He was able to endure it since he had seen the world. Furthermore…the Eldritch World’s expansion was really helpful to him.

　　Nature had been protecting him since he was the Deluxe Merit Saint. At that time, he could pick a few shields from his pile of gifts while Daji and Fire Phoenix protected him and countless figures supporting him—he could do anything without getting told off!

　　After learning of the situation, Li Nianfan looked at the television in his hands and asked, “Come and try out this new television model.”

　　He sighed and turned around as he imagined something.

　　Instantly, the television lit up with a faint glow shooting out and a projection started being displayed in the air.

　　Li Nianfan frowned. He was both surprised and delighted. “Wow, it projects the image and it’s even in 3D! How powerful!”

　　Things given by bigshots were indeed at a different level.

　　Nuwa and the crowd curiously looked at the image and wondered what the expert was playing.

　　Meanwhile, the projection jumped and a white flame started burning in the air.

　　The flame was airy and unrealistic.

　　“Wow!”

　　The crowd felt a gust of chills as the explosive power landed on their shoulders. It made them feel heavy and fearful.

　　“T-this…is the Heavenly Flame!?” Nuwa and Yun Shu widened their eyes before crying out in unison with rapid breaths.

　　The Heavenly Flame was a chaos flame from the Chaos. It was as powerful as the Heavens—way beyond the ordinary flame.

　　There were three types of flames. The Sun consisted of real flames made from Heavenly Flame in the Eldritch World that contained laws and was less powerful in comparison to the Heavenly Flame.

　　The Heavenly Flame was very desirable as it was way more precious than forging a new world. It was because that type of flame contained the complete Flame Laws!

　　Once one got hold of it and learned well, one could become as powerful as the Heavens upon complete understanding!

　　It was like copying the model answers instead of doing self-research!

　　The number of laws was as many as flame types with each containing different laws. Any complete law was priceless and undoubtedly powerful!

　　It was a Heavenly Realm Flame! The flame was more important than life itself for a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. The outcome was way beyond anyone’s imagination once it appeared!

　　Nuwa gulped and asked with a shaking voice, “Lord Saint, I wonder…what’s this flame called?”

　　“Why would it have a name when I simply imagined it?”

　　Li Nianfan smiled and waved it off. “This is a special flame made of extreme frost and heat. It’s different from ordinary flames and contains frost other than heat, so I truly wonder about its existence.”

　　Nuwa and the rest speechlessly exchanged looks.

　　They were unsure whether the flame existed, but they could feel there was a complete and massive path within that flame!

　　It was a possible path of cultivation!

　　The Expert simply imagined a…Flaming Path?

　　Meanwhile, the image jolted and the white flame disappeared. It was replaced by a liquid-like green flame.

　　The green liquid flame spread out in the air as those flames were expanding. It gave one the feeling it could die out at any time as layers of mist rose.

　　However, it was different from the fragility of life as the flames contained destruction and wildness.

　　Nuwa and the rest adorably parted their mouths while staring blankly.

　　Another Flaming Path?!

　　The flames changed again before they could react.

　　It was transparent and shapeless with only a sense of Qi.

　　One could only feel it with one’s core. One’s power would weaken vaguely upon touching it—causing the core to feel a burning pain.

　　It…was another Flaming Path!

　　Next, the flames changed colors again.

　　Silver, red, green…

　　Every flame resembled a completed Flaming Path!

　　Nuwa and the crowd’s mouths were left open throughout the period with none ever once thought to close it. Their bodies turned into statues and heads buzzing.

　　Those were paths!

　　In all honesty, each path required countless geniuses to discover and would normally take years to materialize.

　　Many people got lost when chasing after a path not knowing how to proceed and ended up feeling worse than death.

　　Most took the wrong path with no idea it was wrong.

　　However, the Expert simply projected paths after paths to the crowd as though it was a movie…

　　What would those flame cultivators feel when they saw it?

　　They would cry…
