Chapter 398 Becoming an Immortal Emperor
Inside the large house in Beichen Garden.
The sun was very bright this morning.
Li Ze sat on the very large sofa in the living room. Today he was wearing a light gray, high-end casual suit.
He held the string of beads in his right hand, his thumb turning each bead one by one.
Zhang Ruoran sat next to him. She was holding a notebook and looking at the wedding guest list.
Li Menghan and Li Mengli have already gone to school. The house is very quiet.
Zhang Ruoran turned to Li Ze and said, "I've already prepared to send out the wedding invitations today. Is there anyone else you need to add?"
Li Ze smiled easily. He said, "No, that's all. You arranged everything very carefully. I trust you completely."
Zhang Ruoran nodded, closed her notebook, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go to the store today to hand over the last few tasks. After that, I'll focus on preparing for the wedding at home."
Li Ze also stood up. He took Zhang Ruoran's coat and said, "Go ahead. Be careful on the road. Come back soon."
After Zhang Ruoran left, Li Ze sat down on the sofa again.
He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of warm water.
At that moment, the study door opened.
The old man strode out from inside.
The old man walked up to Li Ze. He stood very straight, but his expression looked much more serious than usual.
When Li Ze saw Lao Yi's expression, he paused his hand movements as he was playing with the beads.
Li Ze knew Lao Yi very well. Lao Yi would never have such an expression unless something extremely serious had happened.
Li Ze put down his teacup. He looked at Lao Yi and asked in a very calm voice, "What happened? Is there news from the capital?"
The older man nodded. He reported to the leader very loudly:
"Yes, boss."
"Our intelligence agents in the capital have just sent back some very urgent news."
"After you left the Wang family's old house last night, a very powerful person appeared in the Wang family."
"This man is called Lu Xia. He's no ordinary person. The Wang family's bodyguards and the high-ranking officials in Beijing all call him a god."
When Li Ze heard the word "immortal," he smiled.
He said with great humor, "A god? In this day and age, who still dares to call themselves a god? That name sounds really scary."
The first man didn't laugh. He continued his report very seriously:
"Boss, this guy is really terrifying."
"Based on the video footage and data analysis sent back by our intelligence personnel, this Lu Xia is a true cultivator. His strength has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"He was in the Wang family's courtyard last night. He was just standing there, dozens of meters away. He casually reached out and patted them on the shoulder."
"The artificial rockery in the Wang family's courtyard, weighing tens of tons, was pulverized by his slap."
Upon hearing this...
Li Ze almost dropped the bead in his hand.
He sat up straight on the sofa. His eyes were wide open.
Li Ze shouted, "What did you say? You smashed a rockery weighing tens of tons into powder with a single slap?"
The man nodded with absolute certainty: "Yes, boss. This is real footage. No explosives were used; it was all power emanating from within his body."
Li Ze took a deep breath.
His mind raced.
He knew that a rock weighing tens of tons was an extremely large object. Even with the most powerful explosives, it was impossible to turn it into powder in an instant.
A person, even from dozens of meters away, can easily do this with a single slap.
This is completely beyond the scope of what science can explain.
Although Li Ze is the world's richest man, he has seen the most advanced technology in the world. He also has a very powerful army of cyborgs under his command.
However, he was still deeply shocked when faced with such a legendary cultivator.
Li Ze quickly calmed down.
He is a middle-aged man who has weathered many storms. When faced with a problem, his first reaction is how to solve it.
Li Ze looked at Lao Yi and asked very directly, "What's he planning now?"
The elder replied:
"Lu Xia is furious. His disciple, Wang Wudi, the former patriarch of the Wang family, was injured by your men."
"Lu Xia has summoned all the Wang family's key personnel outside the family. He has also contacted the military officers who are connected to the Wang family."
"He ordered these people to use all their resources to launch a comprehensive blockade and attack on your company and your influence."
"Moreover, he said it himself."
"Once he has tied down all your men, he will fly to Han City himself."
"He wants to kill you and your entire family with his own hands. Leave no one alive."
Upon hearing this...
Li Ze's eyes instantly turned extremely cold.
A huge surge of anger welled up inside him.
This cultivator named Lu Xia actually dared to threaten him with his family.
Family is Li Ze's bottom line. Zhang Ruoran, Li Mengli, and Li Menghan are the most important people in Li Ze's life. If anyone dares to harm them, Li Ze will fight them to the death.
Li Ze looked at Lao Yi and asked loudly:
"Old One, give me a definite answer."
"If Lu Xia really comes to Han City, what about our ultimate bio-engineered humans?"
"Those super-cyborgs that I took to Beijing last night, modified with alien technology."
"Can they, all together, stop Lu Xia? Can they kill him?"
The old man stood there. His brain began to perform very rapid calculations.
Ten seconds passed.
The old man looked at Li Ze. He shook his head.
He answered very honestly:
"Boss, it's tough."
"Or rather, it's simply impossible."
"Our super cyborgs, although their bodies are made of alien metal, have reached the highest level of strength and speed among Earth's biological beings."
"However, Lu Xia's power is the power of a cultivator."
"He can shatter tens of tons of rock with a single slap. This destructive power exceeds the maximum limit that the materials in a super-cyborg's body can withstand."
"If he hits you even once, the super-cyborg's body will shatter instantly. There's absolutely no way to repair it."
"Moreover, he's faster than our cyborgs. He can also attack from a distance. Our cyborgs can't even touch him."
"If he really comes, even if all 100,000 of our bio-engineered troops are deployed, it will only buy us a little time. In the end, he will definitely wipe us all out."
After listening to Lao Yi's analysis.
Li Ze understood completely.
In the face of a true cultivator, all his high-tech weapons were useless.
No amount of money can buy life at this point.
Li Ze stood up.
He slowly walked to the large French windows in the living room.
He looked at the very bright sky outside.
He thought to himself silently.
He finally made it back to Han City. He finally managed to get Ruoran's forgiveness. He finally got his two children to call him Dad.
Their family is getting married soon. The good times are just beginning.
He absolutely could not let this cultivator named Lu Xia destroy all of this.
He has to protect his family. He has to protect his home.
Since scientific methods can't defeat cultivators, and since money can't solve the problem...
Then he would have to use another kind of power.
A very relaxed smile appeared on Li Ze's face.
He touched the string of beads in his hand.
He thought to himself, "There really is such a thing as cultivating immortality. It seems this world is more complicated than I thought."
"But so what if you're a god?"
"I, Li Ze, came back with a cheat code."
Li Ze turned his head. He looked at Lao Yi.
He said with great humor, "Older brother, you don't need to worry."
"Since he's a cultivator, then we'll use the methods for dealing with cultivators to deal with him."
"Go outside and stand guard. No one is allowed into the living room. I need to take care of some personal matters."
The first man didn't ask any more questions. He nodded obediently.
The eldest son strode out of the living room and closed the front door tightly from the outside.
Li Ze was now the only one left in the living room.
Li Ze stood in front of the window.
He took a deep breath.
He gave an instruction in his mind.
"System. Come out."
The next second.
A blue, transparent screen, visible only to Li Ze, appeared directly in front of him.
The screen is very large, and the text on it is very clear.
This is the "Godly Rich System" that took him to America eighteen years ago and made him the world's richest man.
Li Ze stared at the blue screen.
There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
After he returned to China, the system told him that all the tasks had been completed.
The system rewarded him with three very special privileges.
These three permissions represent three wishes.
As long as he makes a wish, the system will immediately change reality. No matter how outrageous the wish is, the system can make it come true.
Li Ze kept these three wishes. He hadn't originally intended to use them. He felt that winning back his family with sincerity was the best way.
But now, Lu Xia is coming to kill his family. He has no other choice.
Li Ze looked at the system screen.
His voice was very steady, but every word was spoken very clearly.
Li Ze said loudly:
"System. I want to use the first wish permission."
A line of text immediately popped up on the system screen.
"Please state your wish. Once confirmed, the wish will take effect immediately and cannot be changed."
Li Ze smiled.
He thought, since Lu Xia is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, then I must be higher than him. Not just higher, but much, much higher. I want to ensure he doesn't even have a chance to fight back.
Li Ze looked at the sky.
He was very assertive and stated his wish very directly.
My first wish is...
"Let me become the Celestial Emperor. Invincible throughout the entire universe. No one can defeat me."
Li Ze had just finished speaking.
A very bright light flashed across the blue system screen.
Immediately afterwards, a large "Confirm" sign appeared on the screen.
"The wish has been received. It is changing reality."
In that very instant.
Li Ze felt a tremendous change taking place within his body.
He felt his eyes could see farther. He could clearly see the veins on leaves thousands of meters away.
He felt his hearing had become incredibly sharp. He could hear the sounds of insects crawling underground.
He even felt that he could easily smash through the entire city of Han with just a casual wave of his hand.
This is a powerful force that is completely indescribable in words.
Li Ze lowered his head. He looked at his hands.
He clenched his right hand into a fist.
The air inside his hand produced a very loud explosion.
Li Ze laughed happily.
His laughter was very loud.
He feels very relaxed now.
He looked in the direction of the northern capital.
Li Ze said to himself with great humor:
"Lu Xia, right? You're at the ninth level of Qi Refining, right?"
"You'd better come to Han City to find me as soon as possible."
"I, the Celestial Emperor, really want to have a good talk with you right now."
"I'll show you just how wrong it was to mess with me, Li Ze."
Li Ze put his hands in his pockets.
The blue system screen also disappeared in front of him.
He is now an invincible immortal emperor in the entire universe.
However, he didn't want to tell anyone about it.
He was still wearing that comfortable casual outfit. He was still that middle-aged man who picked up his children from school and bought meals for his wife every day.
He turned around and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
He took out his phone and checked the time.
He shouted loudly towards the door:
"Oldest brother, come in."
The old man pushed open the door and walked in.
Li Ze looked at Lao Yi. He said very casually:
"Go check the kitchen. If Ruoran likes that pork rib soup for lunch, have them start simmering it now."
The first man found it a bit strange. His boss had just been discussing cultivators very seriously. Why was he suddenly so concerned about pork rib soup?
But the boss had no doubts. He replied loudly, "Understood, boss. I'll arrange it right away."
Li Ze sat on the sofa.
He thought the weather was really nice today.
He's not afraid of anything now.
He sat there quietly, waiting for that cultivator named Lu Xia to come and die.
