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

Chapter 319 The God of Stocks in the Lingxiao Palace
[The 128th Central Continent Nascent Soul Advancement License Examination has been invaded by the Great Sage! Over two million peak Golden Core candidates are trapped in the Blissful Demon Land.]

[The Wenchang Dan Ying Small Grotto-Heaven collapsed, killing hundreds of thousands of cultivators! The insurance company absconded overnight!]

[On the Value of the Mutant Stream – A Golden Core cultivator survives a blow from a True God, taking you into the Heavenly Dao title of Inspector Li Wei.]

……

The incident at the Wenchang Danying Small Grotto Heaven was truly appalling, so the Supreme Emperor Haotian ordered a information blockade yesterday. However, those damned gods disobeyed orders and still managed to leak the news.

This is wrong!

If this news leaks out, it will affect the overall interests of Heaven, shake the foundation of everyone's faith and resolve, and even harm the gods.

What exactly do they want to do?
After reading the newspaper, Shanghao was both shocked and furious. He immediately activated the two major surveillance systems, Qianli and Shunfeng, to observe the trend of public opinion in the mortal world and try to find out why the gods in the heavenly court spread the news.

……

In just one morning, the matter of the Wenchang Danying Small Grotto-Heaven became the talk of the town among countless cultivators in the lower realms, and even generated very unfavorable opinions about the Heavenly Court!
"Ever since the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, it seems like the Heavenly Court has been on a downward spiral. Why does it feel like the Heavenly Court is being bullied and humiliated by those evil demons and heretics every day?"

"The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, the Blissful Demon Land, and now the Nascent Soul Minor Grotto-Heaven. With the heavens decaying and the emperor weakening, signs of a chaotic world are already emerging!"

"Is this still an omen? This is clearly a time of chaos! I think the Heavenly Court is doomed!"

Although mortals have vitality as vigorous as leeks, able to grow back after being harvested, their lifespan is limited, and many of them have never actually experienced a great calamity.

So, in their view, the current situation is almost like a catastrophe, isn't it?
People's hearts were thus disturbed.

The Supreme Emperor of Heaven clearly sensed that the foundation of the gods' faith was beginning to crumble, and the power of almost all the gods in the heavens was indirectly weakened.

This was a great thing for the Supreme Emperor, and he should have been happy. But for some reason, he felt that things were gradually getting out of control, so he couldn't help but become irritable.

Something's not right! In this Heavenly Court... could there be something I haven't noticed?

The Supreme Emperor fell into deep thought.

After an unknown period of time,

Meng Shifei led the pale-faced Li Wei into the Lingxiao Palace: "Your Majesty, Inspector Li's injuries have been examined. For now, he is fine. However, whether there are any problems elsewhere requires your personal assessment!"

Meng Shifei still didn't give up any opportunity to sow discord, clearly showing his dislike for Li Wei, this mortal.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly, not caring about the conflicts between his subordinates. In fact, he wanted Meng Shifei to be a loyal minister so that he could entrust Meng Shifei with the management of the Heavenly Emperor's treasury.

Of course,
Ignoring the contradictions is one thing, but the investigation into Li Wei is another.

There are just too many "coincidences" about this guy, so even the Supreme Emperor has to be extra cautious!
Moreover, this child had another encounter with the evil spirit, and without an examination, His doubts would remain unresolved.

The Supreme Emperor stepped down from his throne and patted Li Wei on the shoulder, saying, "[Minister Li! Immortal Lord Meng is just like that, don't mind him! But what He said makes sense. After all, you personally came into contact with the will of the evil god this time. To prevent any accidents, it's best to monitor him!"]

Within this Lingxiao Palace, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor's authority over the Three Realms is maximized. Even the methods of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors cannot completely conceal their secrets from Him. Therefore, only here can He be absolutely certain of discovering all the hidden secrets within Li Wei's body!
Li Wei, possessing the Heavenly Dao 0.91 System, remained completely calm and immediately activated the panel: "Then I'll trouble Your Majesty!"

【It's nothing!】

The Supreme Emperor stepped forward and suddenly grasped Li Wei's hand.

Countless laws then surged from His body, instantly penetrating Li Wei's body and covering every corner of His body, especially repeatedly probing important cultivation acupoints such as the dantian and niwan.

Where is your Nascent Soul?

"Your Majesty, I was worried that my cultivation level would cause trouble, so I hid my Nascent Soul."

The Supreme Emperor Haotian slightly raised his eyes and said calmly, "Where is it hidden? Take it out and let me see!"

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat; he knew the real test had arrived!

He and the Nascent Soul were bound by life and death, but they were two sides of the same coin. He had the ability to communicate across distances, so theoretically, it was possible that Li Wei had transmitted the account password information of the Wenchang Danying Small Cave Heaven. Therefore, Shang Hao had to eliminate this part of the suspicion first.

Generally speaking, a Nascent Soul is impossible to fake, but Li Wei had been preparing for this before the unified examination even began, so how could he not have considered this potential problem?
Therefore, he had already made the necessary preparations. After saying "Yes, sir," he immediately condensed a pool of water from his spiritual energy and activated his peerless natal nascent soul attribute—Mirror Flower Water Moon!

There was a crash!
The water stains on the ground suddenly began to ripple like ocean waves, reflecting Li Wei's image. Then, the waves within the small water stains grew larger and larger, and Li Wei's image gradually began to distort, transforming into the shape of Xiao Zi.

He and Xiao Zi were bound by fate and were essentially the same individual, so they could both draw out each other's reflection from their own.

However, a simple mirror image is just an empty shell, so this is where the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system comes into play.

It not only perfectly concealed the fluctuations of the terms within Li Wei's body at the first moment, but also used the power of the [Dragon Crown Vulnerability] to modify and mislead the perception of the law system in the Lingxiao Palace, thus hiding the specific information of the image Xiao Zi in front of it.

There was a crash!
The mirror shattered!

The reflection of Xiao Zi slammed her fist onto the water's surface, creating countless glass-like cracks. Then, Li Wei also threw a punch, shattering the entire water scene along the cracks created by Xiao Zi.

The mirror shatters, and flowers bloom!

Xiao Zi's reflection came to life in that instant, leaping out of the mirror and standing with her hands on her hips, saying, "You stinky master, what do you want from me?"

"It's not that I want to find you, it's that His Majesty wants to find you?"

Although this little purple thing is just a reflection, it looks exactly like the real nascent soul little purple thing, and it can even be controlled by little purple thing remotely. Its expression, demeanor and language are almost identical to the real nascent soul little purple thing.

Upon seeing the Supreme Emperor, Xiao Zi was somewhat flustered and quickly bowed, saying, "Li Ziying greets Your Majesty!"

The wariness in Shanghaotian Emperor's eyes gradually subsided: [So you were hiding in the reflection. That's an interesting tactic! It seems Li Wei, you've quite a few entries in your knowledge.]

"After all, I am a cultivator specializing in mutations, so it's reasonable that some of my entries are rather strange and unusual, right?"

[Hahaha! Makes sense, makes perfect sense! You mutant types always manage to surprise us!]

The Supreme Emperor examined the situation and found no problems. He then had Xiao Zi return to Li Wei's reflection before saying, "Now that your suspicion has been cleared, the case must have been handled by the Central Plains Selection and Religion Division!"

These lawless bastards have lost ten administrator accounts at once! Whether they deliberately collaborated with the dark web or their confidential information was genuinely stolen, it cannot mask their incompetence and carelessness!

[So, Li Wei, once you return to the mortal realm, you must thoroughly investigate the case and find out the truth about this matter concerning the Election Division!]

"I obey the decree!!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, he was about to turn and leave, but Meng Shifei, whether intentionally or not, suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have something to report that might cheer you up."

【oh? 】

[With the current unrest in the Three Realms, the economy of the cultivation world is the first to be affected. The stock market has almost collapsed in the past few days, while some war-related stocks have rebounded. Even junk stocks like Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group have recovered a little!]

Of course, the sector with the strongest upward trend right now is the underworld sector. With more people dying, the underworld's various businesses are generating significant revenue. Now that people's expectations for the future have declined, underworld stocks are being sold off quickly.

I entered the market at the right time, and conservatively speaking, I should have made around ten trillion!

Shang Hao's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a slight smile returned.

Seeing this, Meng Shifei laughed heartily, then turned to Li Wei, saying with a mocking tone, "It's a pity that while I was making money, Inspector Li was ambushed, so he had to regretfully miss this opportunity."

He brought this up at this time to anger Li Wei.

See? While you were fighting tooth and nail, I was busy making money in the back. Aren't you angry now?
Actually, no!
Li Wei knew about the Dark Web's scheme long before this unified exam, so he had already used a large number of anonymous accounts in the stock market to short-sell education stocks and increase his holdings in stocks related to the underworld and war.

Although Meng Shifei made a lot of money, he might not have made as much as Li Wei!
The Supreme Emperor Haotian could not tolerate Meng Shifei's despicable behavior.

He quickly reminded her: "I'm about to release an announcement to reassure everyone. You should sell your shares immediately to avoid further stock price fluctuations."

Meng Shifei's expression immediately turned serious: [Understood, Your Majesty!]

No wonder people used to say he was the "White House stock king and Capitol Hill stock god"!
In the world of cultivation, whoever gets closer to the Lingxiao Palace will have extraordinary cultivation skills.

Ordinary stock market corrections are based on lagging news, while high-level stocks are predicted by divine intervention, and the ultimate message is created by the Heavenly Emperor.
You, Emperor Haotian, are the true stock market god!
Who can outcompete them?
Fortunately, Li Wei was nearby, so after accidentally learning firsthand information, he immediately notified Xiao Zi to start selling off the stocks.

The Supreme Emperor had no idea that Li Wei had bought stocks.

So when He saw that Li Wei's expression was off, He assumed that Li Wei was distressed about missing a chance to make money, so He specifically spoke up to comfort him:
[This happened so suddenly, and you were taking exams and had your Nascent Soul with you, so you couldn't enter the market in time. But it's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future!]

Li Wei wanted to laugh, but he held it in and instead said with a regretful expression, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Please be sure to invite me next time there is such an opportunity! I've been poor since I was a child, and I love money!"

[Hahaha!] The Supreme Emperor was amused by him.

Even Meng Shifei couldn't help but smile.
