Li Changzhou felt empathy, which could very well be a tactic of the other party.

Without letting on, he continued to ask, "So you're saying that Earth as it stands now is incomplete?"

"Not only Earth, but also the Sun, the Moon, and other stars in the sky are baggage that cannot fit; they are the superfluous parts."

"As well as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune?"

Li Changzhou transmitted his knowledge of the modern Solar System.

"Except for Jupiter," replied Guanyin.

Well then, they had left the most troublesome one behind.

Even the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven were giving Jupiter a wide berth. Just how troublesome was Jupiter? Li Changzhou just hoped that it would enter the 'Hydrogen Transformation Second Stage' later rather than sooner.

"I'm starting my cultivation from scratch. As the Bodhisattva Guanyin, you must have methods to speed up cultivation, like the Elixir recipe for the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, right?"

"...A single Nine Revolutions Golden Pill allows one to become an Immortal without going through the Human Crossing Tribulation. Although I am a Bodhisattva, such Elixir Pills I had before, but do you think I would have the recipe?"

Yang Qing Lan probably wouldn't be able to concoct it even if she did have it. No, firstly, it would be impossible to collect all the necessary materials.

"What about the other methods?"

"Humans fight over a breath of air, Buddhas over a stick of incense. I can teach you the art of making 'Buddha Incense'. When lit, if you can absorb the fragrance, your perception can be enhanced by up to twenty percent;

"There's also the 'Mani Wisdom Mirror,' the subsequent Cultivation Technique after 'Primordial Spirit Wisdom Sword.' With the Wisdom Mirror hanging high, your spirit will be abundant and unified;

"Additionally, there's the 'Spirit Communication Mysterious Aperture Scripture,' which allows you to hear the true words of ancient cultivators, and a great scripture that lets you listen to the wonders of nature;

"Overall, I have thirty-six methods to significantly enhance the speed of cultivation and one thousand six hundred and twenty-two minor techniques."

"Why do I feel like... you're showing off?"

"Not at all, I am Guanyin. I don't possess such emotions," Guanyin said with a smile.

Now, Li Changzhou was finally starting to believe her.

Having descended to the mortal realm and acquiring the sentiments of mortals, if an unknown entity could simulate such depth, he would accept being duped wholeheartedly—what else could he do if not accept it?

"Indeed, you are Guanyin. Then please, help me select a combination package from these 'thirty-six great methods and one thousand six hundred and twenty-two minor techniques,' one that is the safest, most expedient, and most effective in enhancing the speed of cultivation."

"By overlooking what's near and seeking what's far, you already possess the quickest method."

"Are you talking about 'Concentration'?" Li Changzhou asked.

"That's one of them," Guanyin said.

"What else?" Li Changzhou was puzzled. Did he have any other skills that could enhance the speed of cultivation?

The 'Saint Master'?

However, the 'Saint Master' could only increase the speed of cultivation of 'disciples'—players endowed with Instinct—but did not offer any bonus to the Saint Master himself.

To Li Changzhou's surprise, Guanyin gave an unexpected answer: "It's the 'Child's Body.'"

"What do you mean?" asked Li Changzhou instinctively.

"Until now, I have maintained a pure maiden's body, while you, not even an Earth Immortal, had the audacity to deflower yourself! You are fortunate that you and Yang Qing Lan cultivated the 'Yin Yang Double Snakes'; otherwise, it would've been harmful to both of you!" Guanyin rebuked sternly.

True to someone who has once been a Bodhisattva, even now as a mortal beauty, she still had an aura that instilled a chilling awe in Li Changzhou.

This wasn't a bad thing. Without a sense of awe, how could one strike into the heart of another? How could one cause a true awakening?

Not every person can be spoken to nicely, and with humans being easily swayed by their foolish, indolent natures, a fierce approach is often necessary.

Li Changzhou was equally alert, though...

No, it can't be! Guanyin had been a pure maiden till this day, and for Li Qianxia, thirty million years were still too short; she wouldn't even consider love before three hundred million years!

"The 'Child's Body'?"

"This divine skill... technique, is not just about changing your outward appearance back to that of a child, but also reverting the Yang Qi within your body to Pure Yang."

This explained why the technique allowed Li Changzhou to learn abilities and use items that only a 'Child' could.

Inside and out, he was transformed into a child.

It just wasn't known whether Li Changzhou would still be a child if he lost the 'Child's Body' status the next time.

Wait, wouldn't this harm Yang Qing Lan?

Alas, teachers had never mentioned in class what crime molesting a male child was, and Li Changzhou hadn't taken it upon himself to find out—interactions with a minor aren't considered involving a male child, and rape laws also do not apply to men.

Fine then, charge Yang Qing Lan with child molestation!

As Li Changzhou was about to inquire why the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven had chosen to travel far from this world and where exactly they had gone, Li Qianxia returned.

Yafeiluna had some initial items to enhance the speed of cultivation, but they were meant for the 'Olympus' power system and ineffective for Eastern Visualization techniques.

Of course, Li Changzhou wasn't about to switch to cultivating 'Olympus.' Even if he did, by the time he ignited the Divine Fire and returned to the Human Immortal Level, who knows how many eons would've passed.

The only thing was 'Amarteia Immortal Dew,' which Yafeiluna had offered to Li Changzhou once again.

She hadn't accepted it initially to avoid restoring her mana, but now the circumstances were different, and Li Qianxia brought the Immortal Dew back.

"It's of no use for Visualization, but it can aid in the cultivation of your physical body. Wait, I'll transmit the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to you."

"You are absolutely Guanyin!"

If only she had produced the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles.

Guanyin laughed and scolded, "You little brat, aren't you afraid that I'm an Evil God from beyond the heavens, making up a Daoist technique to deceive you? This Mysterious Technique was entrusted to me by the Immortal Master Erlang before he departed, asking me to find a successor."

"There's nothing more to say, I was indeed wrong before. I hope the Bodhisattva will forgive me. As for your reincarnation, I will be sure to do my utmost to find you an exceptional lineage."

"You only need to collect the information. I will make my own choice. When things are too perfect, they must be culled. What's best may not truly be the best," Guanyin replied.
