In the world of cultivating immortals, people can fight with everyone on equal terms.

"I visited Mr. Li late at night and disturbed his meditation. I should apologize to him." Emperor Hao bowed and smiled.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Emperor Hao smiled and said, "I wonder why you haven't ascended to the immortal world with your current cultivation level. I'm afraid that if you stay in the Tianyuan Realm, your cultivation level will not improve at all, right?"

This question stumped Li Zhoujun.

After all, he really wanted to ascend to the immortal world, but his strength did not allow it.

"Li was born here." Li Zhoujun smiled.

What this means is that I love my hometown and don't want to ascend so early.

When Emperor Hao heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Cultivators have always put interests first. There are not many cultivators who are as loyal and righteous as the young man in front of him.

After all, some cultivators can secretly kill even their brothers in order to break through the realm. For the true immortals, the Tianyuan Realm is useless. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a poor mountain and bad water. Staying here will only hinder their progress and it is very likely to stop here.

Therefore, basically, many cultivators will convert their spiritual power into immortal spiritual power after surviving the thunder tribulation and directly ascend to the immortal world.

Although the true immortals ascended to the immortal world and became the lower-level cultivators.

But who is not arrogant and proud among those who can achieve great success?

They always believe that even after ascending to the immortal world, they can still show their prowess and reach the peak again.

As for the true immortals who have completely converted their spiritual power, if they want to continue to stay in the lower world, there is a way, but it is very difficult.

First, they need to avoid the golden light of the immortal world.

Second, they will also suffer from the exclusion of the heavenly way of this world.

Finally, they will also face the pain of difficulty in cultivation.

Because all their spiritual power has been converted into immortal spiritual power, if they want to continue to cultivate in the lower world, they can only spend a lot of time to condense the vast amount of spiritual energy outside their body into a trace of immortal spiritual power before absorbing it for their own use. This speed is imaginably slow.

Moreover, even if a first-grade immortal is about to break through to the second-grade immortal through time accumulation in the lower realm, due to the exclusion of the heavenly way, the thunder tribulation in the lower realm is more terrifying and dangerous than the thunder tribulation faced in the immortal world. If you are not careful, you will die.

And because of his divine position, Emperor Hao will not be excluded by the heavenly way of this world, but he is also experiencing the other two.

In other words, because he has avoided the golden light of the immortal world, when the cultivators rely on their own strength to go to the immortal world again, they will lag behind others, because the golden light of the immortal world can help the immortals who have just ascended to condense their immortal bodies.

This can be understood as the golden light of the immortal world giving the immortal world a novice gift package to the immortal world.

And the cultivators who have not received the baptism of the golden light break through the boundary wall and go to the immortal world. At least they have to temper their own immortal bodies for thousands of years before they can withstand the baptism of the golden light this time.

Therefore, most Mahayana cultivators who have survived the thunder tribulation retain the last bit of spiritual power and do not convert it into immortal spiritual power and stay in the lower world, and do not want to miss the golden light of the immortal world to guide them and temper their immortal bodies, which is a very painful thing.

"Mr. Li has no divine position, but he still chooses to stay in this world and can break through the realm of the second-grade true immortal. I admire your courage and talent."

Hao Huang bowed to Li Zhoujun. Even if Li Zhoujun chooses to go to the immortal world in the future, he will only bless him. Moreover, with the talent shown by Li Zhoujun, even if he goes to the immortal world, he can still be outstanding.

Li Zhoujun was a little confused by Hao Huang's sudden admiration. After all, he didn't know how difficult it was for the true immortal to choose to stay in the lower world to practice.

And the true immortal who chose to stay in the lower world to practice was either stupid or really sentimental.

In Hao Huang's understanding, Li Zhoujun was obviously the latter, and such a person was worth making friends with.

"Hao Huang is polite." Li Zhoujun reached out and helped Hao Huang up.

Emperor Hao smiled and said, "Sir, you are a great master of the ninth-grade spirit formation. You should be familiar with Go, right? I am itching to learn a thing or two from you. I wonder if I can ask you for some advice?"

"Go?" Li Zhoujun was stunned.

He doesn't know how to play Go!

[Ding: What are you panicking about? You can play 50-50 with him. ]

The system's voice sounded in Li Zhoujun's mind.

"Are you sure?" Li Zhoujun blinked.

[Ding: Of course, 50-50 with everything in the world. ]

"Then can I play 50-50 with you?" Li Zhoujun asked curiously.

[Ding: Sure, but I can punish you by making you sing Conquer until I conquer you. ]

"Too much." Li Zhoujun's mouth twitched.

However, if there was a system, Li Zhoujun would not panic, and smiled to Emperor Hao: "I don't deserve your advice, but I know a thing or two about Go."

"Sir, you are too modest, please." Emperor Hao laughed, and when he waved his hand, a stone table, two stone chairs, and a chessboard appeared out of thin air next to him.

"Please." Li Zhoujun smiled.

The two sat down.

Seeing that Li Zhoujun had no intention of playing white first and seizing the initiative, Emperor Hao smiled and said: "Sir, then I won't be polite."

As Emperor Hao placed a piece.

The game officially began.

When the game was halfway through, Emperor Hao frowned.

The young man sitting opposite him placed his pieces without any rules. It was obviously the black piece in the second hand, but the place where the chess was placed was open and closed, like a swimming dragon, and he had the first hand and could only be forced to defend.

According to this situation, this game can only end in a draw.

In this world of Go, there is an unspoken rule, that is, the black wins in a draw.

Because the white chess piece seized the initiative, but was unable to defeat the black chess piece that made the move later.

Seeing this, Emperor Hao laughed and said, "I admit defeat. I admire your chess skills, sir."

Li Zhoujun smiled.

"I don't know how many of my existences there are, and there are only a handful of people who can speak, and even fewer who share the same ideals with me. It is a great honor to meet you today." Emperor Hao said excitedly.

Li Zhoujun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

After a pause, Li Zhoujun said, "I wonder if your Majesty has ever heard of Guanhai Mountain?"

"Guanhai Mountain?" Emperor Hao was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I have heard of this mountain before I fell asleep. It seems to be a sect of immortal cultivation, but there are no real immortals in it. I guess after so long, this sect has disappeared in the long river of time, right? Why, Mr. Li, are you interested in this mountain?"

"Not really, I just heard that there is a secret realm opened in this mountain." Li Zhoujun smiled bitterly. After all, Guanhai Mountain was once a holy place for cultivation.

Unexpectedly, it was not even in the eyes of Emperor Hao.

"It's just a small secret realm, why should you worry about it? If you come to Haohuang Mountain someday, I will treat you with the most precious wine in this world." Haohuang smiled and said, "I will not bother you any more today. Goodbye."

"Haohuang, take care." Li Zhoujun bowed and saw him off.

It was a pleasant surprise to meet a mountain god of the true immortal level tonight.

With the departure of Haohuang, Li Zhoujun's life returned to peace again.

In the next few days, Li Zhoujun explained what a lazy person is.

He lay in bed for three days, unmoved by thunder.

[Ding: I let you come here to experience the life of mortals and train your mind, not to be a pig. ]

"The system is small, the pattern is small, isn't sleeping also an experience of mortal life? And you can also see the flowers in your dreams." Li Zhoujun said with a smile.

[Ding:... Why are you so shameless now? Where did you learn it? Do you want to sleep and get my reward for free? ]

"People who are close to vermilion will be red, and people who are close to ink will be black." Li Zhoujun said after thinking for a moment.

【Ding: ...Why don't you learn something good from me? 】
