My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 251 Peerless Nascent Soul Entry - Mirror Flower Water Moon

Upon hearing Li Wei's request, the peddler looked troubled: "Lord Ao, I am merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the primary level. How could I possibly have the opportunity to meet such an important figure as the city lord?"

"Moreover, although I am from Rust City, I have not worked properly all these years. I have been smuggling and trading between various forces in the forbidden area and engaging in shady transactions. The city lord hates people like me the most!"

"If I were to act as a bridge for you, it might actually harm you!"

Thinking of this, the peddler couldn't help but curse the backwardness of Rusty City in his heart.

He outmaneuvered countless classmates to finally get into elementary school, and successfully graduated from elementary school to obtain the Foundation Establishment permit and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the end, all he did was go from farming to managing other people's farming!

Is this worthy of his Foundation Establishment cultivation level?
So, although the peddler was very proud of the education and examination system in Rust City and hoped for such a fair competitive environment, he disliked the rigid job assignment system in Rust City. So, he later quit his job and started his own business.

As a result, he was branded a black sheep and became an outcast within Rust City.

I just want to earn more money, what's wrong with that!

The peddler is a typical contradiction!

The more proud he was of the Rusty Education System where everyone had to rely on their own abilities, the more he disliked this world where jobs were distributed equally. But he was trapped in this bewitching place and couldn't find any other way out, which is why he longed for the outside world so much.

In Li Wei's view, the world of Rusty City, where everyone cultivates immortality, everyone has a job, and everyone plays football, is far superior to the immortal ball in the outside world.

The scarcity of resources should have given rise to a living hell.

However, the city lord single-handedly created a new and stable order in the face of adversity, allowing everyone to have something to do and see hope for tomorrow.

This kind of skill isn't something everyone can have.

People with that kind of ability usually wouldn't do that!
Whether on Earth or the Celestial Planet, the idea that "with great power comes great responsibility" is always a beautiful fantasy. In reality, the greater the ability, the less willing people are to take responsibility!
For example, when a certain large capital firm entered the food delivery market, it loudly proclaimed that it would only earn 5% profit, seemingly making itself appear very benevolent.

However, even if your costs are low in the catering industry, you need at least a 40-50% gross profit margin to achieve a 5% net profit.

A restaurant's profits, earned through sheer hard work, are less than what the platform makes.

He also has a lot of capital; if you give him a platform, he dares to take a cut from both delivery drivers and small restaurant owners.

There are also people who make countless amounts of money but still complain every day about paying too much tax.

Every single good thing!

Capital is driven by profit!

But ultimately, capital is nothing more than the human heart.

When a person becomes powerful enough, they will naturally want to seize more benefits and then make others bear the consequences and risks.

Even the gods are no different.

Whether they are true gods, evil gods, or demons, aside from occasionally displaying miracles when faith is needed to inspire fear, awe, and faith in them, how many of them would choose to do something practical for the world?

When the divine descends and authority remains unmoved, that is true divine might!

Li Wei understood the truth that "the greater the ability, the less willing one is to take responsibility," which is why he knew how difficult it was for that city lord to build Rust City into what it is today.

If it weren't for a sense of responsibility,

That city lord didn't need to create any education system, nor did he need to change the existing rules to forcibly assign jobs to everyone.

With the city lord's cultivation level, he could easily reign supreme in this fog, making countless cultivators his slaves. Why waste massive resources to light up neon lights and provide hope to people's hearts?

As the saying goes, when things are unfair, people will cry out.
From this rusty city, Li Wei seemed to hear the city lord's "injustice"—he wanted to change the world in the Bewitching Forbidden Land, and he wanted to give the people living here a better way to live!

Therefore, Li Wei felt that instead of secretly stealing information, he should try to cooperate with the other party first.

Upon hearing that the peddler had no way of contacting the city lord,
Li Wei wasn't in a hurry: "Since you said the Lord of Rust City teaches at Rust University, let's go to Rust University first, and I'll naturally find a way to make him show himself!"

The peddler, feeling a little relieved, quickly revealed his cunning nature and offered Li Wei a suggestion: "Lord Ao, although you are highly skilled, you have already been through a battle and your injuries have not yet healed. Going to the city lord rashly might be dangerous."

"You should know that there are formations in the Iron Rust University. If the city lord wants to take your flesh and blood, you probably won't be able to escape."

"Don't worry, I'm not that arrogant!"

Although Li Wei roughly judged from the situation in Rust City that the lord of Rust City was a "good person" full of idealism, he did not let his guard down.

After all, there are far too many people in this world whose words and actions don't match.

For example, wasn't Li Wei himself a fraudster?

Therefore, to prevent any unexpected events, Li Wei decided to send an avatar to test the city lord first—this would also be a good opportunity to test whether the innate attribute he obtained after entering the Nascent Soul realm could be of any use.

Every cultivator receives a unique astrological attribute when crossing borders.

For example, when Li Wei entered the Foundation Establishment stage, he obtained the Lesser Seventy-Two Transformations; when he entered the Golden Core stage, he obtained the Great Dao Heavenly Secrets, which also activated the Golden Core within his body.

Therefore, upon entering the Nascent Soul stage, he naturally obtained a natal affix. However, because this affix's effect was more supportive, and he had previously been engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the White Bull Demon King, he had no opportunity to use it.

At this moment, as Li Wei opened the cultivation assistance panel, a purple-gold entry appeared before his eyes.

[Peerless Nascent Soul Level Entry - Mirror Flower Water Moon]

[Effect 1: Trying to Catch the Moon in the Water - Using water as a medium, you can replicate anything in reality and give it some of the original's abilities. The extent of these abilities depends on your cultivation level and the cultivation level of the replicated object.]

[Effect 2: Shadow Follows Flower Movement - When you possess the reflection itself, you can control the reflection to a certain extent.]

"...It's strange, really. I clearly didn't practice water-based magic, yet I eventually awakened a water-based attribute. Could it be because I often transformed into a Kun fish and used the [Return to the Void Northern Darkness] killing move too many times?"

Think about it carefully,

Li Wei's body has indeed been affected by the inherent laws of the Kunyu Killing Move Treasury. Unbeknownst to him, he may have already developed a strong affinity for water-based laws. In the future, he might even have the opportunity to touch upon water-based laws without using the Kunpeng Killing Move.

"Currently, my body contains lightning-based and thunder-based laws. If I were to add water-based laws, I would have to simultaneously merge with three different laws. I'm afraid my body wouldn't be able to handle that."

All cultivators who have achieved Dao Integration will inevitably suffer the backlash of Dao Integration.

While they attempt to use the hearts of the people to seize the will of Heaven, they will naturally be assimilated by the will of Heaven. Once they cannot resist, they will turn around and become tools of the Way of Heaven.

So don't be fooled by Li Wei's current good condition; in reality, the laws of the Thunder Dao [Awakening of Insects] are constantly invading him, but he has suppressed them all with great willpower.

In the future, as Li Wei uses the [Jingzhe Mechanism] law more often, his integration with the Dao will inevitably become stronger. At that time, the invasion of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth into him will also deepen, and it may devour his consciousness at any time, turning him into a tool of the Heavenly Dao.

This is a problem that all cultivators who have attained the Dao, and all deities, will inevitably encounter.

Therefore, generally speaking, even those high-ranking immortals and gods only focus on one Great Dao. Only after mastering all the branch laws of that Great Dao will they consider mastering the branch laws of other Great Daos.

otherwise,

Even gods might not be able to withstand the backlash from merging with the Dao.

If even immortals and gods are like this, then it goes without saying that those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage or even lower realms are like those who have reached the Transformation stage.

The reason Li Wei hasn't felt any pressure yet is because his Smallpox Dao Law was extracted through the title of God Eater, and he hasn't officially used it yet, so it hasn't been formally integrated into the Smallpox Dao Law system.

Strictly speaking, Li Wei had not yet begun the practice of smallpox treatment.

However, if he uses it voluntarily, the backlash of the Dao Integration will inevitably follow. The pressure from the double backlash of the Dao Integration of Thunder and Pimples could crush him at any time!

Li Wei immediately reminded himself: "I must use the Kunpeng Demon Body less in the future, otherwise if I suddenly awaken the water law and connect to the water law system while using it, I may die at any time."

While I was thinking, the entry for "illusory beauty in a mirror" was activated.

A large amount of water vapor automatically appeared around Li Wei, gradually forming a puddle of water at his feet. Under the neon lights, the small puddle of water seemed to contain countless waves and suddenly began to boil.

Li Wei's reflection danced on the waves, refracting in the neon lights.
The expression that had been in sync with Li Wei's began to change little by little, as if it had come to life.

"It's now!"

Li Wei sensed something and suddenly punched the water stain at his feet. The soft water ripples slowly cracked like a mirror, and then Li Wei's hand plunged into the broken waves, pulling out his own reflection as if trying to scoop the moon's reflection from the water!

Wow!
The water mirror shattered and flew away, the mirror broke and flowers bloomed!

Li Wei's reflection shifted from illusory to real, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his flesh and blood.

Nothing can be created out of thin air. Since the illusion of a flower in a mirror and the moon in the water have become real, they must have required a large amount of energy.

However, because Li Wei's cultivation level is too high, the reflection's cultivation level must also be quite high. At the current speed, absorbing spiritual energy is too slow and would cause too much disturbance.

Therefore, Li Wei chose to directly inject the spiritual energy within his body into the reflection to accelerate its formation.

With the infusion of cultivation power.

The effect 2 of the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" entry: The shadow moves with the flower and begins to take effect.

A mysterious connection began to form between Li Wei and his reflection. His perception seemed to split into two parts: one part remained in his body, while the other part flowed into the reflection, allowing him to see what it saw and feel what it felt.

Dual-client setup complete!!!

The current reflection is not only identical to Li Wei in aura and appearance, but also possesses the strength of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. It even has the same attributes and titles as Li Wei. If it encounters an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, it could probably suppress them easily. If it encounters a Deity Transformation cultivator, it might even be able to exchange a few blows.

"Not bad! Although it's just a clone, it can exist for at least several hours as long as it doesn't suffer a fatal injury."

Li Wei nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the stunned peddler and said, "Next, you'll be responsible for taking him to the Iron Rust City Lord. I'll cover you from the outside!"

A hint of awe appeared in the peddler's eyes.

I never expected that even one of Lord Ao's clones could have the cultivation level of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

No wonder he was able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator!
I must hold on to this powerful figure tightly this time. If I get the chance, maybe I, a peddler, can also rise to heaven with them, escape this cage, and experience the true immortal civilization in the outside world!

Ten minutes later, the peddler arrived at the entrance of Rust University with Li Wei's mirror image.

The school is small, and the number of students is not large, but all those who come in and out are college students who have obtained high school diplomas and have reached the Nascent Soul level of cultivation.

This is arguably the place where the strongest individuals are most concentrated in the entire Rust City.

"Lord Ao, how will you find the city lord next?"

Li Wei's mirror image twisted its neck, then suddenly threw a punch, sending a college student in the early Nascent Soul stage flying.

All of a sudden.

The entire entrance to the Rusty University fell into a deathly silence.

The peddler stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Finally, Li Weijing's belated reply came to my ears: "Let's beat up all the students in Rust City first, and then this city lord and principal will naturally come out!"
