Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

However, Li Xiuyuan was the first to greet Broly: "Broly, we meet again!" He then looked at Broly with a smile on his face.

Broly already sensed a familiar presence, because the impression Li Xiuyuan had left on him last time was so profound that it had almost extinguished any hope. So the moment Li Xiuyuan spoke, Broly knew that Li Xiuyuan had arrived.

He said, "What are you doing here!? Kakarot is here too!?" He then looked around as if searching for Kakarot's whereabouts.

Seeing Broly's anxious expression, Li Xiuyuan said, "Don't bother looking, I'm alone. Kakarot isn't here, he's still on Earth. But..."

Upon hearing the words "only two words," Broly knew something was up and asked, "What is it?!"

Li Xiuyuan seemed to be deliberately teasing Broly, saying, "However, well..."

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's hesitant expression, Broly was extremely anxious, but since the other party's strength was far superior to his own, he couldn't do anything about it. He could only hold back and ask, "What's wrong?!"

Li Xiuyuan stopped teasing and said, "Based on my own feeling, Kakarot's strength is about the same as yours. In a few days, when you go to find him, there should be an exciting and wonderful duel!"

Upon hearing this, Broly looked at Li Xiuyuan with utter delight and exclaimed, "Really! Really! Is everything you said true!? Kakarot can finally fight me!"

Li Xiuyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I would lie to you? Who do you think I am!"

Broly chuckled and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes! You are the Great Buddha Li Xiuyuan, how could you lie to me?" Hearing that his long-awaited Kakarot was finally available, Broly was even happier than if he had broken through his cultivation level!

But this is understandable, since it has always been a deep-seated problem for Broly!

Seeing the kid's grinning face, Li Xiuyuan felt bored. Although he was now a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, there was still a big gap between him and himself. Not to mention when Broly's strength would break through to his level of Hunyuan Great Luo Loose Immortal.

Even having broken through to this level, Li Xiuyuan, who had long been a Grand Luo Immortal, was someone who could easily send Broly flying with a flick of his wrist. He no longer had the mood for a contest; it wasn't good to always be tormenting people like this.

So Li Xiuyuan said to Tesla, "Take me to the Star Core Collection Room and see how many there are."

Upon hearing about the Star Core Collection Room, Broly became extremely interested, because he had known since he was old enough to understand that Saiyans were collecting the Star Cores of this planet, but he had never known what they were used for.

No one had ever seen anyone use it before, and besides, Taras and the others had only been collecting them without ever using them, so their curiosity was piqued!

Upon hearing that Li Xiuyuan was going to the Star Core Collection Chamber, Tesla was extremely excited. This was something he had been working on ever since Li Xiuyuan rescued him, and now it was finally time to see the results. It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited!

So Li Xiuyuan and Broly arrived at the Star Core Collection Chamber under the guidance of Tesla.

Along the way, they attracted the attention of many Saiyans on Tianhuixing, one of whom was their leader.

Chapter 744 Compression-Fusion-Breakthrough

One was a rare genius they had always heard about, and the other seemed to have an even more impressive background, because even the usually arrogant Broly, apart from Tesla, looked extremely respectful.

So he attracted a lot of stares along the way, but this didn't attract Li Xiuyuan's attention, because he only liked women. He wouldn't accept or even hate same-sex relationships. Just thinking about those male-male or female-female movies he saw on Earth gave him goosebumps!

Finally, at the end of a heavily guarded road, they arrived at the door of the Star Core Collection Chamber.

Li Xiuyuan was quite satisfied with Tesla's arrangements along the way. As expected of the leader of the Saiyans, this rigorous system of arrangements meant that, given equal strength, trying to force one through would be a pipe dream.

Without the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or above, it's safe to say that they would never return!

But no matter how well planned it was, it was worthless in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, because he could simply walk in with his own strength and see who dared to stop him. That was it!

Send him back to his parents' home!

Of course, Li Xiuyuan couldn't deny Tesla's hard work, after all, Tesla had served him so diligently and dutifully, so he should be encouraged when necessary. However, he couldn't give him no benefits at all, as that would dampen his subordinates' enthusiasm.

So when Li Xiuyuan opened the door to Tesla, he said, "The construction and arrangement of this base is quite good. It was definitely the right decision to let you do it. Even if I were to do it, I might not do it as well as you."

When Tesla heard that Li Xiuyuan had such high hopes for him and such high praise, he was overjoyed.

He then proceeded to explain the structure of the base and the layout of the star core collection room to Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan was dizzy from listening. Although he was very powerful, he was still inferior to this general, who had been a general for a long time, when it came to military theory.

When the moment finally arrived and they saw the star core, Li Xiuyuan was actually quite excited.

The star cores before him were like countless diamonds of all sizes, captivating Li Xiuyuan's gaze and making him unable to look away. The glittering star cores seemed to be mesmerizing energy bodies filling Li Xiuyuan's eyes.

"So many!" Li Xiuyuan exclaimed. Actually, when he entrusted this task to Tesla, he instructed him to do his best, but he hadn't expected Tesla to be this dedicated. The enormous star core collection chamber was overflowing with star cores!

Li Xiuyuan stepped forward and began to integrate one star core after another into his physical body, so that his strength would improve once again.

When Li Xiuyuan first arrived in this Dragon Ball world, he was already a Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal. However, as his strength increased, his physical body couldn't keep up, which was always a problem that worried Li Xiuyuan.

Even if someone is incredibly strong, if their physical body can't keep up, they'll end up just staying in the same place, which is a good outcome. More often than not, their strength will regress instead of improve!

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan now focuses on the fundamentals and strives for steady progress step by step, rather than pursuing rapid advancement.

However, Vegeta is not as good as Goku and Broly in this respect, which is a key point that Li Xiuyuan has always emphasized. But perhaps because everyone's temperament is different, it doesn't matter. All of this must be learned from others, but also from oneself.

Li Xiuyuan didn't wait any longer and stepped forward to start collecting the energy of the star core!

However, integrating such enormous star cores into one's body requires considerable effort and cannot be accomplished overnight. Being too hasty would damage the energy of the star cores and harm one's own physical body. Therefore, during Li Xiuyuan's absorption and integration process, he was instructed:

"You and Broly will keep watch for me outside. After this incident, you Saiyans are my trusted confidants. If anyone tries to destroy you like Frieza did back then, they'll have to get my permission first, or I'll slap them away!"

After Li Xiuyuan said that, Broly and Tesla stood guard outside the Star Core Collection Room to protect Li Xiuyuan!

Besides providing future security for the Saiyans, Li Xiuyuan will also give them pointers, which is the best opportunity for them to improve their Saiyan strength!

If a few more Great Luo Golden Immortals or even more Golden Immortals were to come, their value would be incalculable! Therefore, Tesla treated Li Xiuyuan's order as a military command and carried it out.

Broly watched as Li Xiuyuan slowly enveloped a huge star core with his own power and aura, compressing it little by little until it was about the same size as his acupoints, then stopped, controlling the star core to slowly merge into his acupoints.

Every step was so precise and meticulous, because Li Xiuyuan knew that every step here was crucial to his own future, so he strived to do his best. This way, his future development would have unlimited possibilities. What did it matter if it was the Heavenly Dao? He would conquer it with his perfect body and his own disdain!

Of course, this process only applies to star nuclei that are very large and have a lot of energy, since there are only 365 such star nuclei, so we need to ensure both quality and quantity!

However, the other 100,000 smaller star cores used a large amount of primordial energy to envelop all the star cores, compressing and fusing them simultaneously!

However, this one contained a total of 60,000 small star cores and 200 large star cores, so the process took more than a month to completely integrate these star cores into his physical body.

Finally, when a small star core became part of his physical body, this was the most satisfying thing Li Xiuyuan had done since arriving in the Dragon Ball world.

.............

Chapter 745 The Prodigy Li Xiuyuan

Waving his fists and swaying his body, he could feel the abundant power that made his body and mind groan with pleasure!

Satisfied with his current strength, he believed he was already at the peak of the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal realm. After the remaining acupoints were fused together, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reach the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

Upon opening the door to the Star Core Collection Chamber, Li Xiuyuan saw Tesla and Broly, who had been waiting outside. He couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth, regardless of whether they were there for him, this mountain of a person, or for him to help them improve their strength.

After more than a month of steadfast loyalty, it was clear that the two men were devoted to him, so he said with satisfaction, "From now on, I, Li Xiuyuan, will be your guarantee!"

Anyone who isn't an idiot should know what this sentence means.

Broly looked at the place that had been filled with star cores but was now empty, and then, sensing the changes in Li Xiuyuan's body, exclaimed once again, "You! You haven't broken through again, have you!"

If someone with this level of power can break through to the next level, what kind of power would that be!

At this moment, the power of the Primordial Grand Luo Immortal was beyond what the Golden Immortal, Tesla, could perceive. Therefore, Tesla was not surprised at all, because Li Xiuyuan was incredibly powerful to him, but he didn't know just how powerful he was.

Li Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction and said to Broly, "When you come to Earth in a while, you should be able to compete with Kakarot."

Before leaving, Li Xiuyuan instructed, "I'll head back now. You all continue collecting star cores for me. I won't treat you unfairly!"

Knowing that Li Xiuyuan valued him so much and regarded the Saiyan race as his confidants, Tesla naturally felt he had to do his best for Li Xiuyuan to live up to his expectations.

This time, Li Xiuyuan's application of the laws of space was even broader and smoother due to his increased strength. Therefore, he left a talisman for Teres, promising to arrive within hours should any difficulties arise and he could crush it.

Of course, with Broly as the town now in the Saiyan base, security has been greatly enhanced, and there are still not many people of the Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal level in this world.

With that, Li Xiuyuan left Tianhui Star and rushed back to Earth!

This time, it didn't take almost half a day to complete the journey; it only took eight hours to return to Kame-sen-ya!

Li Xiuyuan's disappearance came without any warning, so Bulma and Launch on Earth were understandably worried. After falling asleep that night, they woke up to find that almost a month had passed without them seeing Li Xiuyuan, which was simply unacceptable to them.

So Bulma went from being all smiles to becoming deep and silent, while Launch was completely lost, like a walking corpse.

The others were engrossed in their own cultivation.

Lanqi chopped the vegetables absentmindedly, as if the chopping board had a grudge against her, chopping incessantly. One could feel a pang of sympathy for the chopping board for five seconds.

"I'm back!" Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out once again like a spell, heard before the person was seen!

Bulma exclaimed happily, "It's Xiuyuan! Xiuyuan is back!"

Lanqi was overjoyed and put down the kitchen knife in her hand, then ran out.

Sure enough, Li Xiuyuan was standing there with a big smile, looking as relaxed and carefree as if he had just returned from a trip!

Bulma couldn't help but throw herself into Li Xiuyuan's arms again, pounding his chest and crying out, "Where have you been! Where have you been! Do you know how worried Lanqi and I were about you!"

The sound, which sounded like a sob, made Li Xiuyuan feel a pang of heartache. He realized that he hadn't given this much thought, and he blamed himself for not arranging things properly.

The main reason was that Li Xiuyuan hadn't expected her trip to take so long, so the round trip took a long time, which explained why the two of them were so worried.

However, Li Xiuyuan, who was focused on cultivation, was oblivious to the passage of time. He was happily absorbing and fusing the vast number of star cores, which led to his current strength as a mid-stage Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal. It should be noted that reaching the Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal realm was already quite difficult, and now that he had broken through another level, it was simply too good for Li Xiuyuan!

However, thinking about how she had missed him for so many days without leaving any news, and how it seemed somewhat irresponsible, Li Xiuyuan gave Bulma an apologetic hug and then walked towards Launch.

But this time, Lan Qi seemed genuinely angry, determined to break free from Li Xiuyuan's grasp and walk away.

However, Li Xiuyuan would never make such a basic mistake; otherwise, with such skills, how could he possibly win the hearts of so many women?

So under Li Xiuyuan's strong control, Lan Qi gradually transformed from her previous aloofness into a gentle little lamb.

Kakarot, Vegeta, and the others stopped their training and came to the front of the house after hearing Li Xiuyuan's voice.

Kakarot, seeing the change in Li Xiuyuan's aura, asked, "Master! You haven't broken through again, have you!?"

"What!?" Everyone was even more incredulous after hearing Kakarot's voice!

If this breaks through again, what kind of power will it be?! Vegeta looked at Li Xiuyuan with a look of surprise.

To everyone's surprise, Li Xiuyuan blurted out, "I was lucky; I broke through again without even realizing it!"
