Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"I, Li Xiu, came here to break my own limits, to break all limits, and to become a king who is unprecedented and will never be surpassed!"

Chapter 1320 Inherited Treasure

"These things will eventually fade away like smoke in the wind, nothing more than fleeting clouds!"

After thinking about all this, Li Xiu's eyes cleared up again, the burning desire from before faded, leaving behind a resolute and unwavering determination.

As for the contents beneath the futon, Li Xiu watched them pass through his mind with the mindset of a God-like observer.

Leaving no memory behind, all that remained was Li Xiu's ever-growing confidence in surpassing them one by one!

After a struggle with himself, Li Xiu suddenly realized that he had not been tempted by the futon, which made him even more determined.

As for Li Duotian, it was even more outrageous.

Li Duotian was never a normal person; everything he did was to serve Li Xiu.

Moreover, who is Li Duotian? Li Duotian is a species on par with Pangu!

Li Duotian had no interest in learning or accepting the treasures of inheritance buried beneath this futon.

Li Duotian had already chosen his path; all he needed to do was walk it well.

Whether he can break through or surpass the limits is not what Li Duotian is concerned about.

Li Duotian had only one thing on his mind: to walk his own path well and protect his elder brother, Li Xiu.

If the person who set up this tradition could see what's happening today, they would surely be so angry they'd vomit blood.

I've done this out of kindness, preparing everything for you so you can choose whatever you like.

As a result, they are still picking and choosing here, or rather, discarding it like worn-out shoes.

Do they really think these heroes are just like cabbages sold in bulk?

However, regardless of what others think, Li Xiu and Li Duotian have already made up their minds. All that remains is to travel through the world within this futon space and bring a perfect end to their lives and to this legacy.

Meanwhile, the system was idly speculating about what Li Xiu would choose to emerge from.

"This guy is a complicated person; he definitely wouldn't be interested in ordinary things."

"However, having just taken the first step and abandoned all techniques, the use of power should be what attracts the master the most."

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms have a deep connection with their master. Will he choose to use a purely brute-force approach?"

It can only be said that the system and Li Xiu did not cooperate very well in this breakthrough.

The system placed Li Xiu on the second level, while the system itself was only on the first level, but Li Xiu had already reached the fifth level.

This immediately revealed the significant information asymmetry.

Li Xiu felt that his decision not to choose the obvious one was actually the right one.

The system would think that Li Xiu must be out of his mind, having forgotten all the techniques and completely forgotten them, and that he didn't even consider making the best transition.

However, life is unpredictable, and fate is so ingenious.

Li Xiu and Li Duotian didn't choose either of them and came out cleanly.

When Li Xiu sat up from the futon again and opened his eyes, the system's voice came again, asking.

"What did the master choose?"

When Li Xiu heard the system ask this, he was stunned and asked in return, "Should I choose something before exiting?"

"But there's a problem with your question, System."

"Huh?" The system was also confused by Li Xiu and didn't know what to say.

Li Xiu said calmly, "Only children make choices; adults want it all, understand?"

Chapter 1321 Extortion System

Unexpectedly, Li Xiu started making jokes at this moment.

The system, somewhat helpless, asked again, "Alright, Master, now tell me what you chose."

Li Xiu's eyes, however, were exceptionally clear, and he spoke without a trace of lying. "I really didn't choose anything!"

"Are you stupid?" Upon hearing Li Xiu's words, the system immediately launched into a tirade.

The system was also pondering to itself. "I've gone to so much trouble to finally explore all the hidden places in this inheritance cave, and I'm bringing them to you one by one."

"And what did you do? You just ran away without taking anything."

"Isn't this a waste of emotions?"

Seeing the system's reaction, Li Xiu scratched his head awkwardly.

After all, he didn't want to let the system's good intentions go to waste!

Then, Li Xiu explained, "It's like this, system."

"Since you and I have both chosen to start over and break all the limits."

"So, it's fine to just look at other people's things. If you really treat other people's things as your own, you'll only be wasting your own time. Don't you think so?"

The system was stunned when it heard Li Xiu say that.

When did he ever hear of such crooked and evil practices?

However, upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense.

After all, as a system, he also needs to be aware of the system's role; he is only responsible for guiding, not for cultivation.

Now that it has such a highly enlightened master, the system feels that its understanding of systems has been refreshed.

"Since the master has made this choice, the system has nothing to say and will directly award the reward."

"Given the master's performance, the system has decided to award a basic reward, without any additional boosts or losses."

"Reward: 50,000 Merit Points!"

Li Xiu was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing the system's words. After all, he had just had a sudden enlightenment, so the system should at least double his reward. Why was it being so stingy?

However, Li Xiu also knew that calculating merit points with the system was like robbing a beggar for money, which would be pointless.

Li Xiu also had a sudden urge to check his merit points. After all, he had been accumulating them for so long, he should have made a small fortune by now.

However, Li Xiu forgot about the expenses he incurred for cultivation and the money he was swindled out of by the system.

The power of the Book of Laughter and the River of Oblivion is truly immense. Li Xiu even forgot why he had crossed out his merit points to buy these things.

The system was somewhat embarrassed when it heard Li Xiu ask this question.

Should I report the truth?

If you tell Li Xiu that he only has 50,000 merit points, Li Xiu will definitely go berserk.

After all, even though he forgot he spent merit points, he would definitely remember that this wasn't the first hurdle!

The reward for this level has been given, but the merit points I have left are just from this one level. Anyone can figure out that there's something fishy going on here!

Seeing the system standing there silently, Li Xiu was somewhat confused and asked, "What's going on? Are you doing something I don't know about?"

Li Xiu was quick-witted; upon seeing the system's silent translation, he immediately deduced some of the situation.

The more Li Xiu thought about it, the more convinced he became that his system would actually do it, so he quickly pressed for answers. "Tell me quickly, how many merit points do I have left!"

Chapter 1322 Li Xiu Gains Quite Much

"The system is currently processing the data, please wait a moment, Master." The system's voice was still as cold as ever, but there was a hint of panic in it.

"Well, you system, you actually dare to play dirty tricks behind your master's back!" Li Xiu was also very impolite and started extorting money.

"If you hadn't let me find out, I would have been fine, but if you don't give me a super double payback this time, I won't let you off the hook!"

Li Xiu also knew that he should act when necessary. He should respect the system, but he couldn't be soft when it came to extorting it.

There was nothing he could do; the system was in the wrong, so he could only say, "Alright, alright, I'll give you 100,000."

"If you try to lower the price any further, I'm not doing it!"

The system also resorted to shamelessness, after all, it was in the wrong!

Li Xiu also did a mental calculation and concluded that 100,000 was not a bad deal.

So Li Xiu said, "Don't let this happen again, or whatever you do, don't let me find out!"

Just as Li Xiu and the system were calculating merit points, Li Duotian's voice came through on his own.

Li Xiu heard this in his mind: "Master, it seems like my cave is about to collapse."

Upon hearing Li Duotian's words, Li Xiu immediately tensed up and hurriedly asked, "Is there an exit?"

Li Duotian looked around and found that there were walls all around him, then looked up.

As a result, there was a narrow passage directly above the cave.

Upon seeing this passage, Li Duotian was also puzzled, as there was nothing like this when he fell in.

Unable to worry about anything else, Li Duotian sent a message to Li Xiu, saying, "Master, the area directly above the cave, which used to be a closed wall, now has a passageway."

"I'll crawl out from there and take a look first."

Li Xiu also tacitly approved of Li Duotian's actions.

When Li Xiu came to his senses and saw the cave he was in, he was almost speechless with astonishment.
