Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Slowly, everyone held their breath, wondering what would happen in the next second. Would Earth be destroyed, or would Wukong save it once again?

As the two enormous spheres drew ever closer in the sky, their energy was beyond anything anyone except Li Xiuyuan could see or estimate.

Finally, the two objects, being of the same size, collided. Once again, a hissing sound of friction was heard.

This Spirit Bomb, carrying Earth's hope, was the last effort Goku could make at this moment. Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction and stood up from the comfortable sofa.

Li Xiuyuan looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

If anyone other than Li Xiuyuan had said those words at this moment, they would probably have been considered crazy. In such an emergency, with such power, even Wukong was powerless to help.

However, every time Li Xiuyuan said those words, it would put an end to the tension in the hearts of everyone around him who was worried.

Trust is built up little by little. Every promise Li Xiuyuan made was fulfilled, no matter how unbelievable or urgent the situation. As long as Li Xiuyuan made a promise, everyone believed it would come true!

It was just a simple promise, an ordinary smile, and then he used spatial powers to arrive on the battlefield.

While Lanqi and Bulma were about to say something, Li Xiuyuan had already vanished without a trace by the time they came to their senses.

However, Li Xiuyuan went to stop what was about to happen for three reasons.

Firstly, he didn't want the Earth to be destroyed. After all, he had a deep affection for the Earth, and if it were gone, it would be troublesome to arrange things for his family.

Secondly, Wukong originally intended to cultivate this person, and if she didn't intervene now, it would disrupt her plans. She doesn't like her plans being changed by others; this is the arrogance of the strong.

Third, and most importantly!

Chapter 695 Li Xiuyuan Makes a Move

It turns out that when Li Xiuyuan first arrived in the Dragon Ball world, he discovered that his Nine Revolutions Profound Technique had reached a bottleneck. So he was thinking about how to advance further. Although his strength was already at the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal, his physical body could not become a saint, which was a fatal flaw and a barrier that he could never overcome.

In times of utter helplessness, chance encounters can happen unexpectedly.

One night, Li Xiuyuan, who was observing the universe by chance, discovered that the universe was like the human body. He was suddenly inspired and created the Heaven and Earth Profound Technique! He tried to see if he could transform the three major acupoints and sixty-five minor acupoints in his body into this universe, and if he could completely fill these acupoints, he could reach the realm it sought and achieve physical sainthood.

While Broly and the others he had arranged were collecting star cores, these two were definitely top-grade energy sources, capable of filling his two major acupoints.

This is truly effortless, a win-win-win situation, why not do it?

Just as Wukong closed his eyes and awaited death, he did not sense anything unusual happening.

Vegeta, who had been eagerly anticipating Goku's defeat and Earth's destruction as the price for Kakarot's anger, never experienced the satisfying explosion he was looking forward to.

"I, Buddha, will accept these two streams of pure energy without ceremony." Why did such an inappropriate statement suddenly appear at this time and place!

Vegeta looked at Li Xiuyuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Hey! Who are you?!"

When Wukong saw that it was Li Xiuyuan, his eyes were filled with joy, because he knew that he and the Earth would be saved today.

Li Xiuyuan grew impatient with Vegeta's incessant chatter. With a wave of his hand, a golden light pierced through all of Vegeta's defensive barriers, sealing his mouth shut.

This filled Vegeta with even greater terror.

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan glanced at Wukong and then looked at the two energy bodies in front of him, which were absolutely delicious to the physical body.

However, integrating these two enormous spheres into his own body's acupoints was a task that required considerable effort, so he focused his mind and began to absorb them.

Slowly, the golden light flowing between his fingers began to change the nature of the two initially unblending objects. The two people watching were utterly astonished by this miraculous power. They were truly terrified; what kind of power and methods were required to accomplish such a feat?

Vegeta couldn't even imagine it at this moment. Goku was even more suspicious of how much Li Xiuyuan's strength had improved, and his own feeling of rapid progress after training in the Heavenly Realm was instantly thwarted.

"So there's still such a big gap between me and my master!" Wukong thought to himself as he lay on the ground, staring intently.

"Him! I was just lucky not to anger this Buddha in front of me. Beneath his seemingly flat body lies such strength!"

Watching the two energies, which were becoming increasingly intertwined, slowly compress again, each compression increasing their density, it was clear that the process was too large to be completed in an hour.

Looking at the energy body that had just merged into his acupoints, Li Xiuyuan clapped his hands and said, "Finally done. Now I'm one step closer to achieving physical sainthood." He then gathered it into one of his 365 major acupoints and nodded in satisfaction.

When Li Xiuyuan turned around to look at Goku and Vegeta, he said with a smile, "Have you two had enough fighting?"

This episode left the two who were originally locked in a fierce confrontation completely bewildered after hearing it.

Li Xiuyuan realized in a daze that he had traveled to the Dragon Ball world. Vegeta and Goku had no idea that they would become partners fighting side by side.

Of course, he couldn't give away any spoilers by telling them about his future after watching Dragon Ball in the 21st century, because Li Xiuyuan always felt that his time travel wasn't an accident, but an arrangement. So it was destined, but he couldn't explain why.

It seems he'll have to wait until he has enough power in the future to understand all of this. Right now, he's very unhappy with this feeling of not being able to control things. So he said to the two of them, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

However, he said to Vegeta, "I'm Goku's teacher now, so what about you? I'll teach you too, how about it, Vegeta!"

This arrangement was originally part of Li Xiuyuan's plan, it was just brought forward a little.

If Vegeta hadn't witnessed the astonishing power Li Xiuyuan displayed, which far exceeded his expectations...

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan say those words, Vegeta wanted to mock Kakarot, saying, "Kakarot, how could you abandon your Saiyan dignity to become the disciple of a human like this?"

However, faced with absolute power, Vegeta was still somewhat shaken. Although he was the prince of the Saiyan planet, what use was that?

In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, if he hadn't intervened to save that planet, it would have been destroyed by Felisa long ago, and even Broly would no longer exist.

However, Vegeta, who had always looked down on others, was unwilling to be taken in as an apprentice and trained by someone else.

Looking at Vegeta, who was still hesitant after hearing his words, Li Xiuyuan said, "You don't need to answer me right now. Go back and think it over before you tell me. I'm on Earth."

This is one of Li Xiuyuan's proudest traits. Back then, in order to win Lan Qi's heart, he insisted on participating in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, a competition on Earth. With Li Xiuyuan's strength, he was definitely capable of participating in battles within or even outside the universe!

The martial arts tournament was merely a means to ensure Launch's unwavering obedience, and Vegeta was doing the same thing now. But Li Xiuyuan wouldn't go to such lengths to please men; he had nothing better to do! Come or not, there were plenty of people begging him to take them as disciples anyway!

Chapter 696 Broly Appears

Under Li Xiuyuan's orders, the Saiyans, led by Tesla, who had been rescued, began to conquer planets throughout the universe and collect the primordial cores of those planets.

Furthermore, on the comet that they had conquered with Li Xiuyuan's help, they began to build the Saiyan headquarters. This headquarters was constructed according to requirements, consisting of two main parts: a gravity chamber and a star core collection chamber.

Furthermore, ever since the Kvira mech team in Saviza and the Saiyans who survived Frieza's invasion, they have been collecting star cores in the universe to prepare for Li Xiuyuan. In every battle, these cores have provided valuable combat experience for this warlike race. In their spare time, they also train in gravity chambers. Therefore, the strength of these Saiyans is definitely increasing rapidly.

Broly, the Saiyan pride and genius who was once just an infant, has lived up to expectations and is now considered to be at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

So just as Vegeta finished thinking about leaving and going back to consider whether to submit to Li Xiuyuan, a burst of power suddenly appeared not far away.

This startled Li Xiuyuan. It had been a long time since he had encountered someone in this world who could truly demoralize a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, even though Wukong was only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. But he quickly remembered—it was him! How could he have forgotten? Broly had arrived.

Broly is a genius like Goku, born on the same day. However, when Planet Vegeta was destroyed, their two parts were escorted out of Planet Vegeta separately, so they can both have a subtle change in their physical bodies, which can be described as telepathy.

"Hahaha! Kakarot, I've finally found you!" Broly said, appearing out of thin air in front of Kakarot. Seeing his disheveled appearance, he asked, "What happened to you? I was going to fight you, but how did you get knocked to the ground? Who was it?"

Kakarot looked embarrassed and grinned, saying, "He is indeed very strong, but I will definitely defeat him." He then glanced at Vegeta, who had just turned to leave, and stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

He was indeed very strong, and he hadn't completely defeated him, but he wasn't intimidated. He said to Kakarot, "Kakarot, I will definitely defeat you."

However, Broly's aura suddenly exploded. He sensed that there were two other people besides Kakarot present. He was so happy to see Kakarot earlier that he couldn't let go of his obsession and hadn't noticed them.

However, after sensing Vegeta's aura, which was similar to Goku's, he felt somewhat reassured and approached Vegeta. But with each step Broly drew closer, the oppressive aura grew stronger. Vegeta sensed this and thought to himself, "What's wrong with me? What's going on? Although the other party is powerful and domineering, how can I, as the prince of Planet Vegeta, feel fear!" At this moment, an uncontrollable fear welled up within him.

Finally, when Broly stood before him, he couldn't resist and went limp. Perhaps it really was an intimidating aura, but seeing Vegeta so utterly defeated, his initial interest vanished instantly: "It seems only Kakarot is my match."

"You're here?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly said. This startled Broly. He had initially thought that this person, who seemed to be completely lifeless, was just a bystander, but this simple question made him think of something.

It felt familiar, but I couldn't quite place why.

"Who...who are you?" Broly asked, looking at Li Xiuyuan with a confused expression.

Li Xiuyuan burst into laughter: "Don't you recognize me?"

Broly looked at the man before him, a strange feeling creeping over him. "Who exactly are you?!"

Looking at the adorable Broly, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile. After observing Broly closely, he nodded in satisfaction.

"If you laugh again, I'll beat you up!" Broly said, looking at Li Xiuyuan who was still smiling at him but not answering him.

"Ouch! This kid wants to beat me up." Intrigued, he said to Broly, "How about I play with you, Buddha?"

He stepped forward as he spoke, and Broly was not to be outdone!

The two stopped fighting, but Li Xiuyuan actually suppressed his aura and practiced Broly with a playful attitude.

Broly was unwilling to accept that the other party had made fun of him like this!

With a roar, he transformed into a Saiyan! The billowing air instantly raised the surrounding temperature considerably. Without a word, giving Li Xiuyuan no chance to react, he launched a flurry of attacks.

Li Xiuyuan still looked at Broly with a wicked smile, thinking that although the child now possessed the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his mind was not mature enough and his moves were not yet proficient enough, so he thought of disciplining him.

He could easily catch Broly's every move after his transformation with just one hand. This was completely toying with Broly.

Seeing the increasingly powerful aura, Li Xiuyuan smiled. This was exactly the effect he wanted; let's see just how much power this kid still had up his sleeve.

Vegeta, who had been standing nearby, gradually regained his strength and stood up. He could hardly believe his eyes as he watched the two engage in their earth-shattering battle.

Even Wukong felt dizzy and lightheaded looking at it.

However, Broly, caught up in the battle, was having his fighting spirit ignited by Li Xiuyuan. He hadn't encountered such an opponent in a long time. "This is exhilarating!" Broly exclaimed with satisfaction.

Then he was about to transform again, becoming Super Sanya Man 2!

The fact that Vegeta and Kakarot's power could be increased once again, which was already shocking, is truly astounding.

But seeing Li Xiuyuan still smiling and calmly handling the situation, everyone's opinion of him rose significantly. Just how terrifying is he? This question arose in the minds of the three of them.

Chapter 697 Lifesaver

"Ah! Ah!" Broly exclaimed in disbelief, realizing that he couldn't even scratch his opponent.

This was simply intolerable, seeing Li Xiuyuan still dealing with him with only one hand. Broly had never suffered such treatment in his entire life!

The desire to fight was instantly unleashed!

"Then try me now and see if you can handle this with one hand!" Broly said, closing his eyes and roaring again! The flames of his aura surged instantly.
