“Mother, what’s the matter?” Li Xianyu communicated with Hua Yang.
“There was a strong mental energy that was probing you just now, and I almost got caught.” Hua Yang thought faintly.
He was shocked and looked around alertly. There were members from the Taoist clans and the Buddhist sects in the canteen. It was hard to tell if there were big shots hidden amongst these plain-dressed monks.
As they could not strike directly, thus they chose to observe secretly? Li Xianyu thought. Oh right, Hua Yang was refined into a fallen angel, but the original owner has not appeared. This person certainly will not give up. What the hell, it’s another wave of hostile forces.
“Don’t look around, it’s right next to you.” Hua Yang’s thought became weaker and weaker, and then disappeared.
Dan Chenzi?
Li Xianyu subconsciously glanced at the young Taoist priest beside him. He looked the same and ate silently, with his lifeless fish eyes.
He almost forgot that this guy was a disciple of Shangqing Sect. Shangqing Sect did not attach importance to the rules, rituals, or external elixirs, and was disdainful towards Taoist sexual practices.
The emphasis was on cultivation and spirituality. Each of the disciples who entered of Shangqing Sect was equivalent to a mental power awakener.
Dan Chenzi was the most outstanding disciple of this generation of Shangqing Sect, and was equally renowned as Jie Se. It was justified as his mental practice had reached such a state.
It was a pity that no one was willing to eat in Lianghua Temple’s canteen, especially those pampered young women. Otherwise, now that I’m sitting with Jie Se and Dan Chenzi, two super popular idols, we would be extremely attention-grabbing.
He had witnessed Jie Se’s popularity before. Now, adding Dan Chenzi, he was like the bamboo beside two pandas. Although he was only a supporting character, he would still gain screen time.
“Uncle, you met Li Peiyun some time ago. How is his cultivation now?” Li Xianyu chose a topic. The two monks were silent as they buried their heads to eat and it was rather boring. At this time, his harem must be eating delicacies in the business district at the bottom of the mountain, chattering happily.
“Uncle?” Dan Chenzi raised his head, looking at Jie Se in surprise.
“He is Li Wuxiang’s son, the Li family descendant.” Jie Se explained to Dan Chenzi. It seemed that in his heart, his “nephew”, Li Xianyu’s status was not high.
“I knew you didn’t know him. Although you are a monk, how could you not know about worldly affairs at all. There are too many hikikomoris amongst the Taoist clans,” Li Xianyu snarked.
“Only by isolating ourselves from worldly affairs, can we thoroughly refine a heart of Taoism,” Dan Chenzi retorted.
The two argued for a few sentences, until Li Xianyu asked again, “Uncle, you haven’t answered me yet. Do I have such a weak sense of presence?”
Jie Se was exasperated regarding the title of Uncle. Li Xianyu called him Jie Se when he didn’t need anything. When he did, he called him Uncle, he was a cunning one.
“It was just sparring and we didn’t use our full power. He’s more powerful than you,” Jie Se said nonchalantly.
“Why did you fight?”
“He insulted Master, and said that his reputation was false, and that he was a selfish man. He also said Master did not deserve to be the leader of the orthodox clans.”
“No matter how strong Li Peiyun is, he still lost to me.” Li Xianyu chewed on the vegetables.
“What are you proud of, since it’s not your own strength?” Jie Se replied.
“That’s not true. It’s like a gun. I’m holding it so it’s my strength. Uncle, your thoughts are too pedantic. According to your logic, a nuclear bomb is something external, so why is the country that built it so complacent?”
Jie Se pondered about it but couldn’t refute, so he looked down and continued to eat.
“What if I had a way to get you to lose your gun?” Dan Chenzi suddenly said.
Li Xianyu pondered.
“Therefore, relying on external things, after all, are unorthodox means.” Jie Se took the chance to put Li Xianyu down.
“When you make me lose my gun, you’ll get a bullet through your head.” Li Xianyu smiled and said, “So it’s still me who wins by relying on something else.”
“Hah.” Dan Chenzi smiled. “Within a radius of 10 meters, guns and bullets cannot get close to me.”
“What if San Wu’s the one holding the gun?”
“San Wu?”
“Precision strike,” Jie Se explained.
Dan Chenzi looked down and continued eating.
“Using tools is what the wise would do. Why is the demon descendants community so wary of Baoze, when we only emerged a few years ago? That’s because we are well-equipped. There are endless weapons to restrain demon descendants. You hard-working players who are poor, how are you going to defeat players who pay money to buy upgrades?”
Dan Chenzi and Jie Se thought about it and didn’t come up with a rebuttal, so they ignored Li Xianyu and chatted happily.
“Li Peiyun can’t attend, otherwise the champion of this conference will not be a fight between the two of us.”
Dan Chenzi hesitated. “How is the Demonic Priest’s Tri-Elements Sword Technique?”
“Unfathomable.” Jie Se paused and added, “It’s flawless, as if a mountain of defense. There is an unpredictable flying sword, but also an indestructible sword of qi. It was just sparring but I found it hard to handle.”
Listening to the meaning of his words, Li Peiyun seems to be more powerful than Jie Se.
Li Xianyu frowned. Li Peiyun’s upgrade was faster than he had expected.
“The flying sword, also known as the Sword of Will, is a cohesion of mental power. So far, it is one of the sharpest means of mental attack,” Jie Se explained.
Dan Chenzi sighed. “The Demonic Priest is worthy of being the top master. If he had joined Shangqing Sect, the first Yang God may have been born.”
“But Li Peiyun has not perfected the Tri-Elements Sword Technique. Otherwise, he would be another Gokudo master. Dan Chenzi, have you attained the ‘Immunity against All Phenomena’ state?”
“Yes.”
“In this demon descendants community, only you and Li Peiyun are worthy of being my opponents.”
Li Xianyu pursed his mouth secretly. The vegetarian food was tasteless and there was no point listening to the two compliment each other. After bidding farewell, Li Xianyu left.
“You are a good uncle. You’re trying to motivate him.” Dan Chenzi glanced at Li Xianyu’s back.
Jie Se replied, “No, I was just trying to spite him. Amitabha, I have broken my monk’s vows.”
“The Li family decendant’s cultivation is mediocre, and cannot be compared to us.” Dan Chenzi commented with disappointment.
Amongst this generation of young people, the most outstanding was the boss of Baoze, who was half-step to Gokudo. That was data from two years ago. As for now, no one knows. Down the list, it was the two of them, who had the strength of being in the top 20 on the demon descendants list.
Taking advantage of the time and place and people, their strength outburst can go further.
In the demon descendants community, it didn’t mean one would become more powerful the older one became. There were many famous big shots now, where their peak was in their youth. Buddha Head was a Half-Step Gokudo in this thirties, and stepped into Gokudo when he was sixty years old.
Li Wuxiang’s talent was not inferior to Buddha Head, and was even better. He was already a Half-Step Gokudo before he was 30 years old.
Before becoming a Gokudo, one had to rely on talent and diligence. If one wanted to truly step into the Gokudo, they would need an epiphany or opportunity. The Taoist Reverend had long been a Half-Step Gokudo, but was trapped in this phase for 60 years.
Compared with the two of them, Li Xianyu’s true strength was far from enough.
“But a hikkomori like you definitely wouldn’t know, he was still an ordinary man 3 months ago,” Jie Se said solemnly.
Dan Chenzi’s pupils contracted, as his expression changed slightly.
Jie Se and him had practiced since young, and mediated day after day to understand the Tao, before attaining this state of cultivation. What was he doing three months before cultivation? Jie Se thought.
Sit and take a nap every day...
“Don’t be too surprised. Rapid upgrades in the early stage are not necessarily good. Without a pure heart of Taoism, he will have a long bottleneck period.”
After eating, Jie Se kept the plate that Li Xianyu left on the table and stacked it below his plate. After he saw the surface of the table, his expression froze.
Dan Chenzi turned and glanced with a complex expression.
There was a sentence scratched out on the wooden table, using one’s nails: “First destroy Shaolin, then destroy Wudang. Only Manichaeism will reign in the martial world.”
What Shaolin and Wudang represented was self-evident.
“Insolent brat.” Jie Se erased the handwriting, gritting his teeth in fury.

Chapter 220: One Shot To Fame
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Li Xianyu strolled around Lianghua temple while his harem was having a lot of fun outside. It felt like a scenic spot. Moreover, Lianghua temple is more simple. The main halls in the temple were not for tourists to visit, but for monks to meditate, chant sutras and sincerely worship Buddha.
There were only one third of the outsiders left in the temple. If they were to see Li Xianyu, they would stop to watch, or point, or whisper. Out of fear, no one dared to jump out to berate him, only talking behind his back.
Li Xianyu was famous again. It was just that he had a bad name. Shen Bi had been reduced to a vegetative state by him. With the downfall of a popular idol, his fans hated Li Xianyu. Others would think Li Xianyu was cruel. It was important to know that Li Peiyun, the new leader of the Ancient Gods Clan, was popular for another reason other than his appearance and the fact that he was Demonic Priest’s descendant. He had never massacred anyone.
At least, he didn’t do the evil things that incurred the wrath of people, which was quite inconsistent with the image of him being a big villain. However, it had also formed a contrast, which made many girls who were not involved in the world like him.
Men always fantasized that a demoness would fall in love with them, while women fantasized for the male counterpart.
Entering the Bhaisajya guru vaidūrya prabhārāja Hall, he heard the sounds of crisp and delicate laughter. There were ten female priests and nuns that surrounded a man, who was Lady Killer.
Fuck, this guy’s title is not in vain. As expected, he was a lady killer. Wherever he went, he could capture the hearts of beautiful girls.
“Don’t be sad. Although Shen Bi has left you, I am very willing to take his place. I wonder if Little Teacher can open your heart to me?” He was comforting a fan of Shen Bi, a woman in a blue robe.
“Stop it. I’m a priest,” the female priest said.
“You are a priest, yet you are pursuing stars too.” Li Xianyu’s voice was low as he remarked.
Demon descendants wouldn’t worship ordinary stars, no matter how good-looking they were. They were no match for demon descendants. The gap between them was too big. How could they talk about worshipping?
The handsome, talented Shen Bi with a bright future was the target of the girls in the demon descendants’ community.
“Don’t comfort her till you bed her. I’ll tell you, this guy is a flirt.” Her comrade exposed him.
There was a burst of laughter. These women seemed to be talking happily with Lady Killer.
“I heard that the descendant of the Li family began to cultivate this year. Is it true?” a little nun asked.
There were a lot of rumors about Li Xianyu. Some people said that he had only recently started his journey because of his hard work in private. Some people also said that he was extremely gifted, and he soared to the sky as soon as he entered the demon descendants’ community. Women were curious animals, especially regarding a controversial topic.
“I first met him when I joined the company at the end of June this year. He was really an ordinary man with no powers.” Lady Killer gave an affirmative answer.
The girls cried out, covering their mouths and staring.
In this way, Li Xianyu’s talent was terrifying, much better than Jie Se and Dan Chenzi. Was that guy really so talented?
“So, what he said in the morning was true? Shen Meng almost killed him?” a girl asked.
“That’s right.” Lady Killer nodded. “That’s when he first started out in the demon descendants’ community. Because of the opening of the Great Deities Palace, Shen Meng, the third son of the Shen family, came to his door and killed him. It was a coincidence that he awakened then. That was how his life was preserved.”
Upon hearing his words, the women were silent.
A girl dressed in designer goods muttered, “His brother shouldn’t pay the debt for him.” She was obviously cowardly, so she spoke very quietly.
Didn’t the demon descendants pin Li Wuxiang’s scores onto his head too? Lady Killer was very good at socialising. He only cursed in his heart. Seeing that the atmosphere was not so good, he shifted the topic to liven up the atmosphere. He said, “Let me tell you a piece of dark history about him, do not spread it out.”
Was this to expose the fact that I was a trouble magnet?
However, he obviously underestimated the sinister intentions of Lady Killer. He only listened to him smile. “Wait a moment, I will show you a picture. You will clamp your legs tight upon seeing it.”
Fuck, pill!
Li Xianyu coughed hard and strode towards them. “Old duke, how are you here? Not eating?”
The women looked back in amazement with delicate expressions, as well as a kind of embarrassment of being caught talking behind their backs.
Lady Killer hid his mobile phone back in his pocket silently, laughed twice, and said, “I asked King Kong to take away some food for me. Girls, let’s talk again another day.”
He welcome Li Xianyu and left side by side with him.
“I can’t beat you, but I can let Great-Grandma beat you up,” said Li Xianyu.
Lady Killer quibbled, “I’ll tell you a joke. A nun passed the garden at night and was robbed. The next night, all nuns in the temple came to the garden for a walk. This is your chance to become famous.”
“I’ve become famous in the company. I don’t want to be famous in the demon descendants’ community,” Li Xianyu said. “Those are all monks. What can I show them?”
“Why not?” Lady Killer said. “Since ancient times, purity was hard to maintain once secularity set in. Many disciples of Taoism and Buddhism returned to secular customs every year. After going down the mountain, they got married and had children. Not everyone is born with wisdom and determination. After breaking the precepts, most of the sects let them off after light punishment.”
It made sense. Secular disciples existed in Buddhism as well, and many sects in Taoism did not forbid marriage. In fact, the essence of “not getting close to women” advocated by Taoism and Buddhism meant that they should not be infatuated with women to the point where their cultivation was delayed.
The young monk, with a hot head, was easily addicted to the affairs of men and women. However, if one could fully understand and see through the essence of “lust is emptiness”, one would still be a good monk.
Lady Killer told him that many monks went down the mountain to marry, and their children went to college. Then, they suddenly realized that they would go back to the mountain to cultivate again.
“To be honest, how many nuns have been poisoned by you?” Li Xianyu squinted at him, giving him a look that only men knew.
“Of course, it’s very liberal these days. The female nuns at the bottom are more like modern people.” Lady Killer laughed. “Most of them are very simple, and very easy to hook up with.”
Li Xianyu swallowed his saliva.
“What do you mean? Aren’t you an old driver who claims to have experienced countless experiences? That’s a fantasy?” Lady Killer said inconceivably.
“Don’t I have Great-Grandma, who has been following me? I’m always embarrassed to sleep with women in front of her... Don’t get me wrong. I mean sleep with women with her knowledge.”
They lived in hotels outside. The rooms must have been adjacent. With Great-Grandma’s hearing and the caliber of Li Xianyu’s mouth, it would be equivalent to listening to an audio novel. It was going to be awkward the next day.
Her great-grandson had a girlfriend, but why would he feel awkward in front of Great-Grandma?
“You have a point.” Lady Killer was puzzled and made an expression to show that he understood. “This conference is a good opportunity. If you see any good women, go ahead and hook up with them. You must be very skilled in this aspect. But I’ll pass on some experience to you. The female disciples with high talent and much valued by the elder generation, don’t touch them. If you strike, you will be hunted and killed. A few years ago, a child from the Chen family slept with the female disciple of Lingbao Sect’s leader, and abandoned her. The female disciple was humiliated and committed suicide...”
“In fact, it was just a normal break-up. She should have looked on the bright side,” Li Xianyu said.
“Well, it was intolerable to the Taoist-Buddhist Association. He fled abroad and died the next year inexplicably. Everyone knows who did it and knows it.”
“It’s interesting. By the way, do you know Elder Hua Yu? Lingbao Sect’s leader, she should be the Elder Lingbao I just met today. Looking at her merciful eyes, she turned out to be a decisive killer instead.”
“You like the older ones?” Lady Killer had a strange expression. “That’s Liuyun Temple’s leader. She has a firm Taoist heart and deep cultivation. She’s not someone you can hook up with as a young man.”
“She can be my mother. I just want to ask about her. What’s her cultivation level? How is she regarded in the demon descendants’ community? How are her connections?”
