Mu Changqing glanced at these existences that could shake the heavens, and then became even more eager for the owner of the Primordial Qi Luck.
After all, Primordial Qi Luck was something that the Heavenly Dao had invested considerable effort in. How could Mu Changqing let him have his way?
Not long after, Li Lingyun walked out of the kitchen, carrying several plates of home-cooked dishes.
They were all vegetables he had planted in the yard and meat from some fierce beasts from the forbidden zone.
"May I know how to address Daoist friend? All who come are guests, please do not be polite."
Li Lingyun had an extraordinary aura, calm and refined.
He arranged the stir-fried greens, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and meat soup.
He got a bowl and chopsticks for Mu Changqing, signaling him to start eating.
Mu Changqing smiled and said,
"Mu Changqing, but calling my name might not be auspicious. Call me Zang instead."
Mu Changqing took a bite, and the taste was good.
His food contained the profound truths of the Great Dao. If a cultivator in the Ming Dao realm were to consume it, they could instantly break through and become an immortal.
Li Lingyun's expression flickered slightly. Zang? What a peculiar codename.
Suddenly, Li Lingyun noticed his little black dog and turkey hiding in the corner, trembling.
The usually active golden dragon fish sank to the bottom of the pond, not daring to show its head.
Although it was a bit strange, he didn't pay much attention to it.
As he sized up Mu Changqing, Li Lingyun felt a faint sense of apprehension.
This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in one hundred thousand years.
"System, I can leave in three days, right?"
Li Lingyun poured Mu Changqing a cup of Enlightenment Tea, then summoned his system and began to inquire.
Mu Changqing's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. A system?
Ever since he stepped into this place, he had sensed a nauseating aura within Li Lingyun.
Now, hearing Li Lingyun's words, his interest grew, and he quietly observed Li Lingyun's condition.
Li Lingyun was a bit bewildered at the moment. The system that usually responded instantly seemed to have crashed today, ignoring him.
"System, are you trying to renege? You promised to let me leave after I stayed here for one hundred thousand years. Now there are only three days left, and you're playing dead?"
Li Lingyun cursed indignantly.
He was originally from China and had accidentally transmigrated to this world.
He accidentally fell into the forbidden zone, surrounded by various ancient fierce beasts and demonic beasts.
He was so scared that he had to hide in this courtyard.
For some reason, those ancient fierce beasts and demonic beasts were extremely wary of this small courtyard and dared not step into it.
Therefore, he was relatively safe.
Later, he awakened a system that required him to stay here for one hundred thousand years.
As a reward, it provided him with various items daily.
Including Emperor Weapons, golden dragon fish, a little black dog and turkey, and so on.
There were also some fruits and vegetables.
Of course, the rewards also included cultivation, profound truths of the Great Dao, various ancient cultivation methods, and so on.
Now, he no longer knew what realm he had reached.
But the system told him that it was dangerous outside and he had to stay for one hundred thousand years before he could leave.
Adhering to the principle of lying low, Li Lingyun indeed never left.
Therefore, Mu Changqing's appearance greatly excited him.
Although he didn't know how Mu Changqing crossed the forbidden zone and the ancient fierce beasts and demonic beasts to appear here.
He feared nothing. He was the Son of Destiny, the protagonist of the era, how could he fear others?
According to the novel tropes he had read in his previous life, Mu Changqing should be a powerful figure from the outside world who accidentally broke in.
Then he would be conquered and become his follower!
Thinking of this, Li Lingyun's face showed a confident smile.
Although the system was occasionally unreliable, it was not a major issue.
"Where are you from, Daoist friend? Why did you appear at my home?"
Seeing that Mu Changqing had almost finished eating, Li Lingyun asked.
Mu Changqing wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly.
"Where I come from is not important, what's important is where I am going. I am quite interested in you, why don't you tell me about yourself?"
Li Lingyun looked surprised. Why was this not following the trope?
"System, system, stop playing dead and come out quickly to identify this man."
Li Lingyun called out in his heart, but no matter how much he cursed and got angry, it was useless.
Mu Changqing lightly tapped his fingers on the table, the rhythmic sound repelling the Great Dao of heaven and earth, repelling all things in the world. The surrounding space fell into deathly silence.
It was as if only the two of them were left in this space.
A trace of panic flashed across Li Lingyun's face. At this moment, he finally realized something was wrong.
The silence was like death. The lively courtyard was devoid of life.
He turned his head to look at the little black dog and the turkey, their bodies frozen.
He looked at the World Tree and the Enlightenment Tree; their leaves hung frozen in mid-air.
The wind stopped, the water became silent, and the connection to the Emperor Weapon was severed.
Li Lingyun carefully sensed the system, but the feeling transmitted by the system was only one emotion... fear!
Li Lingyun swallowed, quickly calmed his emotions, and circulated his aura.
The Great Dao phenomena around him erupted completely, and imperial might permeated the surroundings.
His pupils burst forth with golden light, and his aura underwent an extreme transformation.
"Who exactly are you?"
Mu Changqing's gaze calmly assessed Li Lingyun's face.
He had to admit, Li Lingyun was indeed worthy of being the owner of the Primordial Qi Luck.
The extreme transformation was completed in an instant, erupting with an aura surpassing that of an Immortal King.
"Who? I told you, that's not important. What's important is who are you? And what is this so-called... system?"
Li Lingyun suddenly stood up, imperial might emanating from him.
With a wave of his hand, the Emperor Weapon axe fell into his grasp.
Brilliant golden light flickered, illuminating the entire forbidden zone.
"Why do you know about the system? No, you can see through people's hearts. I know why the system stopped responding to me after you arrived. It is wary, it is afraid."
Li Lingyun pretended to be calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with boundless terror, his hair standing on end.
For one hundred thousand years, he had been constantly bathed in the Great Dao, constantly comprehending the truths and rhymes of the Dao.
Yet this young man who had suddenly arrived could see through his thoughts at a glance.
How could he not be afraid of someone who could make the omnipotent system wary and dare not revive, and could freeze space and time?
Mu Changqing ignored the pressure emanating from Li Lingyun, stood up, and leisurely paced, dusting off his robe. He guessed,
"Your soul aura does not seem to belong to this world. You should be from some special spacetime."
"System? According to your thoughts, a system should be a special existence that constantly bestows opportunities upon you. These opportunities come from the Great Dao, and above the Great Dao is the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, your so-called system should be a Heavenly Dao program."
"Interesting, very interesting. As expected of the owner of Primordial Qi Luck. Even if you have nothing, the Heavenly Dao will bestow upon you cultivation talent and supreme opportunities. You only need to act according to the Heavenly Dao program, and you can dominate the heavens."
In a few words, Mu Changqing had deduced almost everything about Li Lingyun.
Including this system that felt unfamiliar and interesting to him.
Li Lingyun stood stunned, his pupils wide.
He didn't know what the system was, only that it had indeed given him everything.
Even if he chose to be a slacker, he would still have supreme opportunities.
In just one hundred thousand years, he had reached the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, radiating the brilliance of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Such talent was unique throughout history and all eras.
Now, Mu Changqing had deduced all the facts in a few words.
This further confirmed Mu Changqing's terrifying nature.
Moreover, from Mu Changqing's tone, Li Lingyun could feel his disdain and contempt for the Heavenly Dao.
"Who are you?"
Li Lingyun asked again, his eyes fixed on the mysterious and terrifying youth before him.
If there was no other choice, he could only fight to the death.
Mu Changqing turned around, his purple eyes bursting with immense pressure, shaking heaven and earth, and turbulent all realms.
"You are in my home, and you ask me who I am? Why don't you let your system tell you who I am?"
