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

Chapter 255 The Immortal Knowledge Network is really too weak.

At that moment, Zheng Youlan's fingernails dug deep into her palms, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

If there is a choice,
She would never give up such a powerful divine position.

But it's a pity.

Weak!

It's original sin!
She had absolutely no other choice.

Li Wei stared intently at the mechanical female cultivator before him, as if trying to see through her soul to determine whether she was telling the truth or lying.

Despite being entirely mechanical, it displays emotions more vividly than a living person.

Her eyes were filled with tears that looked like engine oil, her face was filled with the anxiety of expecting Li Wei to agree, the resentment of painfully giving up her divine position, and the humility of a weak person looking at a strong person and longing for redemption.

Complex, realistic, and profound!
It appears there were no lies.

But is this right?
Li Wei recalled everything since he entered the Bewitching Forbidden Land, thinking about the peddler's appearance, the rusty Dao Fruit he grew from the place where the White Bull Demon King self-destructed, and even more so, the enormous creature beneath the Bewitching Forbidden Land.

Gods, divine killing moves, resurrecting divine corpses. And now, a top-tier god has appeared!
So many things appeared in such a small forbidden area.

Is this right?

And what's even more outrageous is that the cultivators here actually want to hand over such an important divine position to me?

Li Wei didn't believe it, or at least he wouldn't believe it based on just one side of the story.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Zheng Youlan was taken aback when she saw Li Wei remain unmoved by the temptation of a godhood. However, this only strengthened her resolve to believe that he was the best candidate.
“It’s right that Inspector Li has reservations! If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t easily believe that such a good thing as a free lunch would happen, but there’s nothing we can do. Those divine positions are simply beyond the reach of us ants.”

"But aren't I just an ant too?"

Zheng Youlan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "To be honest, my Nascent Soul's innate attribute is a perfect-level reconnaissance attribute, which allows me to judge a cultivator's fate and destiny just by looking at their appearance."

"And Inspector Li, your appearance is the most...of all the people I've ever seen."

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Youlan finally found the most suitable adjective: "The most ethereal!"

"You possess the aura of an immortal!"

"Furthermore, I see no signs of your cultivation level locking in your age on your face. You must be only around nineteen years old this year, right? To reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm at such a young age is considered a prodigy, even in the human realm, isn't it?"

"You are far superior to us backward cultivators who live in the Forbidden Land of Bewilderment and are kept in captivity. In addition, since you are originally from the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, you will receive some preferential treatment when you ascend to heaven."

Li Wei shook his head: "But I'm only in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. I don't know how many years it will take to reach the Deity Transformation stage. Can you afford to wait that long?"

"Anyway, so many years have already passed, so a little more time won't make a difference! Besides, it's precisely because you're only at the Nascent Soul stage that it's the best time to come into contact with the laws and lay a foundation. If you had already reached the Deity Transformation stage, it would be too difficult to change the laws."

In her conversation, Zheng Youlan was impeccable; every answer was just right, and every glance, movement, and expression was flawless.

But Li Wei has remained silent.

Whether it's because he's a petty person trying to understand a gentleman's heart, or because he's been traumatized by the environment of the Immortal Planet and developed PTSD, he won't easily agree to anything.

Therefore, Li Wei used the Five Thunder Heart Technique to continuously suppress the greed in his heart.
Through the power of Buddhism, one can continuously calm one's mind and finally break free from the temptations and deceptions before one's eyes.

"Since there's no time to lose, I'll refrain from replying for now! I'd like to explore the various parts of the Bewitching Forbidden Land. Fellow Daoist Zheng shouldn't prevent me from entering and leaving the city, right?"

Zheng Youlan sighed heavily: "Of course not, this is my student ID. With this ID, you can enter and exit any area within the city. As for outside the city..."

"Neither Water Rust City nor the Mist City is as peaceful as our Iron Rust City. If you are going to travel there, please be sure to pay attention to safety."

As she spoke, she handed over another piece of iron.

"This contains a bit of my magical power. If you encounter danger, crush this item and I will ask my master to come and save you immediately."

understood.

It's a large-scale immortal positioning system.

Li Wei smiled and accepted it. He then made up his mind that he would let the mirror image carry this thing and throw it away when he found a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, wouldn't he be exposed to the eyes of the Rust City every day?

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Li Wei's purpose in coming to Rust City was to obtain a way to leave the Bewitching Forbidden Land. Now that he has obtained the method, there is naturally no need for him to stay any longer.
As for the matter of being instructed and advancing to a divine position, it was merely an unexpected gain.

Even after seeing him off all the way out of the university, Zheng Youlan was still waving goodbye, saying, "Take care, Inspector Li."

Li Wei waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Zheng Youlan finally couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

Lord Chu of the Rusty City had appeared behind her without her noticing:
"You always use this trick when you encounter outsiders, aren't you tired of it?"

Zheng Youlan's expression gradually turned cold: "Teacher, my mind is not firm enough, and I'm almost assimilated by the laws. If I don't find a substitute soon, I'll die!"

In harmony with the Way.

To enter the Dao through one's own body. Only cultivators with great perseverance and wisdom can succeed, but perseverance and wisdom alone are not enough. One also needs a powerful soul capable of suppressing the invasion of the laws of the Great Dao, and a strong physical body capable of resisting the erosion of the laws.

Zheng Youlan was unable to cultivate her body and soul due to the barrenness of the Iron Rust Forbidden Land. Because she lacked a body and soul, she lacked confidence and strength, thus falling into a vicious cycle.

She doesn't want to die.

"Alas, my time is drawing near, and I truly cannot control you. But do you have the ability to subdue this prodigy from the outside world?"

"There will always be an opportunity. As long as his divine position is tempting, he will naturally accept our arrangements. Our Rust City is not only good at mechanical arts."

"But if he leaves before then, your plan will fail."

"Heh, with a divine position as bait, how could he possibly run away? Besides, he can't escape! This bewitching smoke attack can't even get the remnant soul or corpse of a god out, let alone him?"

"Aren't you afraid those two will strike first?"

"The two of them have been fighting for so many years. If one of them makes a move, the other will definitely stop it. Neither of them will back down. Otherwise, how would our Rust City have the opportunity to rise?"

Zheng Youlan said deeply, "As long as this person merges with the Dao and receives the infusion of the Imperial Teachings' laws, I should also be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage! At that time, I will ascend in your place!"

Chu once said deeply, "I'm afraid you've chosen the wrong person this time."

"This boy's character is so strong that even a divine position cannot shake him, and his methods are beyond my comprehension. Are you really prepared to be his enemy? In fact, it would be better to truly relinquish this burden and hand over the divine position to him. That way, you might not be without other opportunities to become a god in the future."

A fierce expression suddenly appeared on Zheng Youlan's face: "Give up? You're trapped here because you gave up! I will never follow your path again. Neither Rusty City nor the Bewitching Forbidden Land can slow me down!"

"I want to become an immortal!"

"I want to break free from this cage, even if it means sacrificing everything!!!"

Outside the Rust University,
The peddler had been waiting for a very long time. When he saw Li Wei's reflection appear, he hurriedly went up to him and said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Inspector Li, you deceived me so badly before!"

I actually thought you were from the Ao clan of dragons.

However, in the peddler's opinion, the Thunder Department was far more prestigious than the Dragon Clan. In the outside world, Thunder Officials must already be big shots, right? And the Thunder Department Inspector, as the Thunder Official who managed Thunder Officials, was much more renowned than the Dragon Clan.

Li Wei, manipulating the mirror image, waved his hand: "It's just a little caution necessary for traveling the world. Don't mind it. Let's take a look around the city first, and then prepare to leave."

The peddler said angrily, "Does that old senile city lord want to kick you out?"

"I just want to see more places. If I can't travel in the future, I might have to live here. I need to find a comfortable place, right?"

"The Iron Rust City must have the best living conditions. Of the other two cities, the Water Rust City has an extremely poor living environment and no order whatsoever. Even a peddler like me wouldn't easily go near it!"

"While the Misty City is relatively stable, the people there are all sorts of mutated freaks, and you definitely won't be able to adapt if you go there."

Li Wei's eyes lit up immediately.

It feels like I've found my people!

Speaking of mutant cultivators, I am also a mutant cultivator from the Tongtian lineage with impeccable lineage!

It seems we can't fly away from this misty city.

However, before that, he still needs to verify one of his guesses.

Li Wei took out Zheng Youlan's student ID and said to the peddler, "Take me to see your kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and high school."

He wanted to see for himself what this so-called Imperial Cult and advancement to godhood were all about!

Of course, Li Wei's understanding of divine positions was far too limited, so he needed to learn more about them.

So Li Wei quickly contacted Xiao Zi, who was still outside: "Go to the Immortal Knowledge Center and search for all the information related to the creation of divine positions!"

"Then find all the current laws of the education system, information on the existing educational deities in Heaven, and information on the Heavenly Court's Department of Educational Selection, and give them to me as well."

Through her connection with Li Wei, Xiao Zi also learned about the Imperial Cult and the God of Advancement, and was already ecstatic.

"A divine position!! That's a divine position! Master, don't worry, I'll go and get this information for you right away!"

When Xiao Zi checked, she was dumbfounded: "Master, I can understand these papers on Xianzhi.com. Isn't that a bit strange?"

Following Xiao Zi's gaze, Li Wei discovered that these papers on divine positions were even more superficial than his mother's novels, lacking any practical significance. Some even contained obvious errors, and no practical data was provided.

Damn, these things can actually be published as academic papers?
Surely the universities under the Heavenly Court aren't that bad?

Or are the real things being kept hidden?
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei suddenly remembered that he was still a student of Zhongzhou Lei Academy.

"Looks like it's time to go back to school."

Speaking of which, since I entered university, due to a series of things, I haven't been to Lei Yuan's online teaching institution.

hope,

Perhaps the school has what he needs.
