130: Chapter 129 Rooftop Barbecue, Drunk Cat

Inside the CCTV Livestream, Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Li Qiye quietly watched Ye Qingxuan's clean and decisive methods within the National Destiny Space.

Their Divine Sense enveloped the entire Blue Star, and as they witnessed the miserable scenes of the more than thirty countries suffering punishments from the National Destiny Space, they all gently shook their heads.

A group of barbarians who purely brought this destruction upon themselves; they were not worth wasting another half a sentence on.

The bullet comments across the entire internet completely flooded the screen, unanimously and wildly praising him.

"As expected of Daoist Ye, his actions are clean, decisive, and without the slightest bit of dragging!"

"Daoist Ye is truly humane! He specially identified friendly countries like Damao, Pakistan, and Cuba, and even helped them clear their levels and complete their tasks!"

"Ura! Thank you, Daoist Ye! You are my god!"

"Pakistan netizen reporting in! The grandeur of the Big Brother Huaguo is completely maxed out!"

"To be honest, the National Destiny Space is too dangerous. Pakistan should have merged into Huaguo long ago; only by following Huaguo is there a way out! Without Daoist Ye, the task couldn't have been completed at all!"

"Cuba gives a thumbs up! Seeing the miserable state of those punished countries with our own eyes, it's too terrifying, they completely deserved it!"

Immediately afterwards, Huaguo netizens calmly flooded the screen.

"Brothers, stop hyping him up so fiercely for a moment, quietly watch the aftermath!"

"What on earth does it mean when Daoist Ye says he wants to do the task of setting things right next?"

The knowledgeable big shots in the livestream came out to analyze.

"I can roughly guess, it should be the Heavenly Dao of that world asking for help!"

"Daoist Ye said before that the power system of that world is extremely deformed. Chances are this task is to completely liquidate and overthrow their cultivation system!"

"It's very possible, this is the true way to set things right!"

"I envy the big shot who finished reading hundred solutions to immortal cultivation."

"I am fucking speechless, nationwide cultivation has been going on for almost half a year, right? And you guys are still illiterates?"

"Your world is considered not bad; over here, almost everyone is illiterate, and a bunch of people are chirping and asking questions, my head is huge," Bai Yuetian complained powerlessly.

"Brother-in-law!"

"You guys better not call me brother-in-law anymore, my younger sister has already made things clear with Daoist Ye, and he has also agreed."

"What?!"

"Uh, that, just now my younger brother used my account to post that."

"Little brothers are meant to take the blame!"

CCTV Livestream——

Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Li Qiye exchanged glances, keeping their composure while silently communicating through voice transmission in private.

Xiao Sa at the side watched the three big shots of the cultivation world playing charades again, and he was extremely pissed off in his heart.

He hated this group of riddle-makers the most!

But he didn't dare to run his mouth, for fear of having his salary deducted, so he could only hold it in.

The camera cut back to the National Destiny Space.

Duyuan looked at Ye Qingxuan and asked, "Daoist Qingxuan, what should we do next? We can't just slaughter our way straight through this world, right?"

As soon as Duyuan finished speaking, Lin Lei's eyes instantly lit up, his fists rubbed together making cracking sounds, and his entire body's Qi and blood and elements surged with a look of high excitement.

"Slaughter our way through the world? I'm familiar with this job! Great, let me take the lead!"

Bai Yuekui glanced sideways at the overly excited Lin Lei, too lazy to speak, with a face full of speechlessness.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the reckless Lin Lei and inwardly complained: Is this guy named Lin Lei or Lin Dong? Why are their personalities the same, both so reckless?

He gently shook his head and spoke to pacify him.

"Slaughtering through the entire Minor Thousand Worlds is unrealistic."

"With our current cultivation, if we really want to slaughter from the beginning to the end, it won't be finished without ten years."

"Although the National Destiny Space has no time limit, there's no need to waste effort."

"Those people will take the initiative to come knocking soon, we just need to wait."

Duyuan looked at Ye Qingxuan with a face full of doubt.

"That's not right, Daoist Qingxuan? According to this world's deformed system, can they really discover us?"

Duyuan knew very well in his heart.

Ye Qingxuan was a mighty expert in Void Refining and Dao Integration, and he himself was a Late Stage Return to Void Buddhist cultivator.

Bai Yuekui and Lin Lei had also stepped into the Return to Void level.

The three thousand Dao lead to the same destination by different paths; as long as one steps into Return to Void, their life level enters the "Void Realm".

Technology that does not enter the Dao, no matter how advanced, cannot observe them.

From the moment they entered the National Destiny Space, the four of them had actively stabilized their Void Realm forms, completely dissociating themselves outside of this world's detection system.

After hearing this, Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui also nodded in unison.

Although they were not orthodox cultivators, once they reached the Return to Void level, they naturally understood the principle; external technology simply could not spy on them in the slightest.

Ye Qingxuan swept a glance at the three of them with a face full of helplessness.

This monk had been in seclusion for too long; he was probably cultivated into a fool.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed the head of Xiao Jiu on his shoulder.

Seeing this, Duyuan fiercely slapped his forehead, instantly coming to a sudden realization.

Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui also reacted.

All four of them were in the Void Realm.

Only Xiao Jiu, with only Early Stage Soul Transformation cultivation, was still in the Material Realm and had not stepped into the Return to Void level.

As soon as Xiao Jiu heard this, it was instantly unhappy on the spot.

Its waist arched sharply, its back hair bristled, and it put on a ruffled, deterrent posture, staring fiercely at Duyuan while letting out a milky hiss.

"Meow! How dare a monk look down on this meow! This meow is the leader of the Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult!"

Ye Qingxuan was left between laughter and tears, raising his hand to flick the kitten's head: "Where did you learn all these things?"

Xiao Jiu drooped its ears and mumbled aggrievedly: "Ximo taught me."

Upon hearing this name, Duyuan and Lin Lei instantly understood.

So it was that comical demon pill; that indeed wasn't surprising.

Huaguo Maoshan——

Senior Brother Qingming looked at the mischievous Xiao Jiu on the screen, gritting his teeth in hatred.

He directly let go of Ximo, who was hanging in mid-air, too lazy to beat him anymore; it was useless.

"Go copy the Qingjing Jing three thousand times, and bring it to me when you're done!"

As his voice fell, he pointed a finger, directly sealing Ximo's cultivation, and turned his head to look at Disciple Xiyue on the side.

"You are not allowed to help him."

Disciple Xiyue looked at Ximo with a look of being unable to help him.

Ximo instantly nodded with a bitter face, wanting to cry without tears.

He had just randomly taught a couple of things, who would have thought that the big sister boss actually remembered them firmly, and even directly made him suffer a social death in front of the whole world. Now he had lost face to the extreme.

The bullet comments across the entire internet went completely crazy laughing, frantically flooding the screen:

"Sacred fire shines brightly, sacred fire glows brilliantly! All my Disciples, meow meow meow meow! So it originated from here!"

"The case is solved! Our Lady Sanhua was completely led astray by Ximo!"

"All four big shots are invisible, but only the cult leader is streaking and exposing her position hahahaha!"

"So the whole team is invisible, and only the support has the panoramic high beams turned on!"

"Ximo: I really just said it offhandedly, I didn't mean to teach a cult into existence!"

"As expected of the Shangqing demon pill! Hahaha!"

Inside the National Destiny Space,

the four people's gazes and Divine Sense always enveloped this world, quietly watching the movements everywhere on Blue Star.

Ye Qingxuan saw that Liangbing on Demon One was frantically sending telegrams, her eyes full of panic, scolding her subordinates of a crowd of demons until they were covered in dirt and disgrace.

Shifting his gaze, inside the Super Seminary, the bald Ryze raised his head and blankly stared at the sky, his face full of terror, muttering to himself in his mouth.

"The Taotie are gone just like that? Could it be that the Void Realm has made a move?"

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan shook his head helplessly.

In the end, they were just a group of frogs at the bottom of a well. Whenever they encountered power beyond their own cognition, they would only attribute it to the Void Realm.

Du Kao on the other side had an inexplicable expression, and the thoughts in the bottom of his heart were known to no one.

Various conspiracy theories he had heard in his past life flashed through Ye Qingxuan's mind.

The War God of Nova who had lived for over ten thousand years was completely assimilated after coming to Earth for a mere thousand years; this statement had loopholes no matter how you thought about it with your heels.

However, he couldn't be bothered to delve into it deeply at all.

In front of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were paper tigers.

He already possessed the ability to directly overturn this world.

Once the deformed dark energy system and super gene system here were cleaned up, these things would completely become a thing of the past.

It would be fine if these people behaved themselves, but if they dared to jump out and point fingers, he wouldn't mind directly annihilating them all.

Duyuan, Lin Lei, and Bai Yuekui also carefully sensed the extraordinary power of this world, and after looking at it for a moment, they all shook their heads in disappointment.

The system was deformed, the Foundation was weak, and their strength was far too low.

Not to mention them striking with full force, even just Xiao Jiu, this kitten, could easily blast through this world.

Ye Qingxuan brought the three people and one cat in a teleportation, landing on the roof of the tallest building in the city.

He casually took out two whole roasted cows exuding a rich aroma and placed them on the rooftop.

Xiao Jiu's eyes instantly lit up, and with a hiss, it shouted, "Barbecue! Taoists are the best!"

Its body grew larger into the appearance of a tiger cub, and it violently pounced onto one whole roasted cow, burying its head to bite and eat in large mouthfuls.

"Do you want to eat some?" Ye Qingxuan looked at the three of them.

Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui didn't hesitate in the slightest, stepping forward to directly cut and divide the other whole roasted cow.

Duyuan also stepped forward, tearing off a large piece of beef and stuffing it into his mouth.

"Huh? This is Qingling's craftsmanship?"

Evidently, this monk wasn't eating meat for the first time. Before the recovery of Spiritual Qi, back at the Grand Ritual of Luotian on Longhu Mountain, it was Ye Qingxuan who had led the way.

[part:gemini-3.6-flash]

Taking Zhang Yuzhuo, Zhou Wei, Duyuan, Qingling, Qingyun, and Qingmo along, they had an outdoor barbecue on Longhu Mountain.

Later, they were discovered by Senior Brother and nagged for a long time. (Mainly because they didn't bring him along to eat beef.)

Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui looked at Duyuan eating meat with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Sensing their gazes, Duyuan looked up and asked in confusion, "What? Is there a flower on this poor monk's face?"

Bai Yuekui asked, "You're a monk, why do you eat meat too?"

After saying that, she looked at Ye Qingxuan, "And you, doesn't the Daoist sect have the rule of the Four Abstentions?"

Ye Qingxuan smiled faintly, "In ancient times, people didn't eat beef because cattle were needed to plow the fields. Nowadays, we have tractors, so naturally there's no need to stick to old rules."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui were instantly rendered speechless.

Although it wasn't the first time Duyuan had heard this, he was still quite helpless.

Lin Lei then looked at Duyuan, "Then what about you?"

Duyuan said candidly, "Meat and wine pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. This was said by Ancestral Master Daoji. As long as the Buddha is in one's heart, monastic rules and precepts are nothing more than useless scraps of paper."

Lin Lei scratched his head and poked a hole in his logic, "I remember there's a next line: 'If worldly people emulate me, it is like entering the Demonic Path.'"

Duyuan paused his movements and gave him an annoyed glare, "Lin Lei, do you really have to expose this poor monk?"

Ye Qingxuan chuckled and spoke up, "Alright, monastic rules and precepts are meant to restrain ordinary monks and Daoists. For a worldly monk like Duyuan, they're scraps of paper too stiff even to wipe one's ass with."

Hearing this, Duyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all and said frankly, "As long as one's true heart seeks the Buddha, all rules can be broken."

The group chatted while eating meat with hearty bites, the atmosphere relaxed and casual.

At this moment, as if remembering something, Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and brought out a white jade gourd, looking at the others, "Would you like a cup?"

Duyuan immediately grew curious, "Is this wine?"

Ye Qingxuan took out several jade cups, raised his hand, and poured; clear, translucent liquid glowing red with a tint of blue slowly filled the cups.

Duyuan's nostrils twitched slightly, and he recognized it immediately, "profound ice jade fire wine!!"

Hearing this, Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui looked at the liquor in the cups with eyes full of curiosity.

Duyuan casually explained a few sentences, staring burning-hot at Ye Qingxuan with a clear message: Fellow Daoist, pour a bit more!!

Ye Qingxuan looked at Lin Lei with a half-smile, "You're considered a minor, is it fine for you to drink alcohol?"

Lin Lei's face instantly flushed red, and he hurriedly defended himself, "What minor! Big Brother Ye, don't talk nonsense! I've been through over twenty Reincarnations, my psychological age is already over a thousand years old!"

The four exchanged smiles without saying another word, raising their wine cups to drink together leisurely.

The bullet comments in the CCTV Livestream scrolled furiously.

[I finally understand the Daoist Four Abstentions! Ancient people didn't eat plow cattle, modern people don't eat tractors! A timeless classic!]

[Lol, seeing how practiced Master Duyuan is at eating meat, this is definitely not his first time breaking the precepts!]

[Carnal monk confirmed! He's really mastered the 'meat and wine pass through the intestines' line!]

Just as ordinary netizens were flooding the screen, two golden exclusive bullet comments suddenly appeared pinned to the top, exceptionally eye-catching. One look made it clear they were sent using Divine Sense by big shots in the cultivation world watching the livestream.

[What's so strange about that? Last time during the Grand Ritual of Luotian on Longhu Mountain, it was Fellow Daoist Qingxuan who treated us to roast beef. That rascal monk Duyuan ate the most out of everyone!]

[Fellow Daoist Zhou is right! Last time Fellow Daoist Qingling roasted the whole ox herself. That taste is unforgettable even now!]

The ordinary netizens immediately went wild.

[Holy crap!! It's Daoist Yuzhuo and Daoist Zhou Wei!]

[So Master Duyuan has been sneakily eating meat for a long time! A total repeat offender!]

[Hahaha, Lin Lei is way too straightforward! Actually arguing poetry with a monk—he was just making up excuses to eat meat!]

[You missed the point, brothers! Lin Lei's psychological age is over a thousand years old. How is that a minor? He's a total old monster! Drinking is completely reasonable!]

In the livestream backstage, Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Li Qiye looked at the relaxed scene of the four eating meat and drinking wine on the rooftop, all unable to help laughing.

Li Qiye stared fixedly at the profound ice jade fire wine on the screen, looking envious as he clicked his tongue in wonder:

"I didn't expect the old Medicine King to actually brew such good wine. He hid it deep enough, not even leaving a couple of sips for me."

Celestial Master Zhang rolled his eyes at him and casually deadpanned, "Enough from you, you old Devil Head. Where do you get off being so thick-skinned? Besides, for us right now, this wine is just something to satisfy a craving."

Li Qiye curled his lips and nodded in agreement, "Ain't that the truth. Right now, in the entire Chinese cultivation world, who doesn't owe Ye Qingxuan for helping them achieve the Dao?"

On the side, Xiao Sa was completely lost and couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "Daoists, what kind of wine is this profound ice jade fire wine? Why is it so precious?"

Master Yuanxin briefly explained in a couple of sentences.

After hearing it, Xiao Sa stared at the National Destiny Space's screen with eyes full of envy. A wine that boosts cultivation? He wanted to drink it!

National Destiny Space—

Xiao Jiu had her head buried in eating roast beef when her little nose suddenly twitched hard, catching the rich fragrance of the profound ice jade fire wine.

"It smells so good! Daoist, this meow wants a drink too!"

It immediately raised its little head, a pair of heterochromatic eyes shining bright as it stared straight at the wine cup in Ye Qingxuan's hand, its gaze direct and eager, making it obvious it wanted to drink wine as well.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at it, ignored it directly, and complained internally.

Lin Lei's psychological age is over a thousand years old, so at most he's young on the outside.

You kitten were born less than half a year ago, a pure baby cub. Lin Lei drinking wine was already barely acceptable, and you still want to freeload wine?

Xiao Jiu stared longingly at the wine cup, two little paws pawing at Ye Qingxuan's sleeve as her head kept nudging toward the rim of the cup, soft whimpering sounds coming from her throat.

That look was as obvious as could be; everyone in the world watching the livestream could see it—this little kitten was craving wine.

Ye Qingxuan looked down calmly and didn't indulge it, raising his hand to gulp the wine down in one swallow.

"Don't stare, there's none for you."

"Lin Lei at least has been through over twenty Reincarnations with a psychological age of over a thousand years, so fudging the rules for him passes."

"Are you even half a year old? A newborn baby cub wanting to drink wine?"

Xiao Jiu instantly threw a fit, her fur flaring up on the spot.

Arching her back with soft fur standing on end, she gave Ye Qingxuan a fierce, squeaky hiss in protest:

"Daoist, you said you'd provide food! Besides, this meow is the Cult Leader of the Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult! Why can't I drink wine!"

Beside them, Lin Lei gnawed on beef, laughing loudly at the sight:

"Xiao Jiu, accept your fate. Out of the four of us, you're the only pure minor."

The corners of Bai Yuekui's lips also curled up in a faint smile as she watched the cat throw a tantrum.

Duyuan shook his head and teased while eating meat:

"At such a young age, not learning good things, but learning to crave wine and meat instead—you've truly been led astray by Ximo."

The bullet comments in the livestream completely lost it with laughter, scrolling uncontrollably.

[HA HA HA HA HA HA the Cult Leader broke down! She wanted to drink wine and got shut down dumbfounded by one sentence from Daoist Ye!]

[Born less than half a year ago is indeed a baby cub! No lies detected!]

[Lin Lei: A thousand-year-old elder isn't a minor; a half-year-old kitten cub doesn't deserve alcohol! Absolute truth!]

[The Meow Meow Cult Leader's embarrassing moment, social death broadcasted across the entire internet, hahahaha!]

[Ximo: So I'm taking the full blame for this? I really was just talking casually!]

[Lmao, while others risk their lives adventuring in the National Destiny Space, these four are eating meat, drinking wine, and playing with a cat!]

[The Holy Spirit's personality is actually quite innocent.]

[profound ice jade fire wine is extremely strong. If this little cat took a sip, she'd sleep for three days straight. Better not give it to her.]

Master Yuanyi of Lingyin Temple watched the livestream chuckling, while Kongming's vision went dark—so this wasn't his first time breaking the precepts?!

National Destiny Space—

Seeing that acting cute was useless, Xiao Jiu simply pounced into Ye Qingxuan's arms, her tail swishing wildly as she kept rubbing against his wrist, acting relentlessly clingy.

"Daoist is the best, quickly let this meow have a taste! Otherwise when we go back, this meow will tell Sister Qingling that you bullied me!"

Helpless from her clinging, Ye Qingxuan was both amused and exasperated.

He casually gathered a bit of wine vapor with his fingers and flicked it gently onto Xiao Jiu's nose tip.

"Just smelling it is enough. Drinking? Don't even think about it."

The peculiar wine aroma, simultaneously icy cold and burning hot, instantly rushed into Xiao Jiu's nasal passages.

The little fellow's eyes instantly widened round, her head went dazed, and she wobbled twice in place, nearly passing out drunk on the spot.

Duyuan was amused: "See that? Can't even withstand a single whiff, and yet you dare covet wine?"

Ye Qingxuan raised his wine cup, looking out at the city lights in the distance, and said calmly, "We've tasted the flavor and rested enough."

"It's about time for those frogs at the bottom of the well to come knocking."
