But Li Changzhou had a "Divine Body - Low Level Powerful," which allowed him to recover as long as the damage to his physical body was less than half, no matter if it was blood or the spirit of his flesh, it could heal quickly—there's no need to mention how much more effective this was in battle.

Li Changzhou left the room.

"Greetings, Great King!" A group of minor demons knelt in two lines, extending all the way to the mansion's gate.

Li Changzhou had never experienced such a feeling of supremacy on Earth, no wonder people are so fond of power; the feeling of everyone kneeling at one's feet truly was uplifting.

"Great King, we've already given strict orders at Chen's village to ensure Tang Seng is well-fed and becomes plump!" Gui Po hunched over and hurriedly followed.

Li Changzhou wasn't planning to heed these minor demons, but he halted upon hearing this.

The moment he paused, Gui Po's heart trembled.

"You said, 'plump and well-fed'?" Li Changzhou asked, looking at her.

"...Yes, yes!" Beads of sweat formed on Gui Po's back, "Your humble servant knows the Great King wants to eat Tang Seng's flesh, so I made sure to instruct the local gentry of Chen's village to treat him with the finest food and drink, to keep him plump and well-fed... for, for the Great King—please spare my life! Your humble servant deserves death! I shouldn't have spoken out of turn!"

Gui Po fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

Making an elderly old woman kneel like this posed a real challenge to the morals of someone like Li Changzhou, who came from modern times, and he softened on the spot.

"Do better in your next life," he said with a sigh.

Without further tormenting her, a pitch-black hand extended from the shadows cast by the illuminated coral pearls, grabbing Gui Po.

In midair, the black hand squeezed lightly, and Gui Po dissolved like snow melting under a warm touch, leaving no residue behind.

Some minor demons fainted from fear, while many water spirits knocked their heads on the ground like pounding garlic, loudly begging for mercy.

"Go sweep the floor!" Li Changzhou frowned, then, paying them no further attention, he strode out of the Water Turtle Mansion.

[What if that Gui Po was unintentional?] Guanyin asked.

[Does it matter whether it was unintentional or deliberate?]

Li Changzhou indeed didn't know, but based on the memories he had accessed, he was eighty percent certain that Gui Po had done it on purpose.

This fish was aware of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and had some cunning, planning to use Sun Wukong's hand to remove him.

Without him and without the Great King of Numinous Power, although that old turtle had more tricks, she had a crowd of water demons by her side and thus had no fear of him, and then she could have her way with the Tongtian River.

[Let it be, that fish demon has eaten a fair share of humans, it's time for her retribution.] Guanyin did not fuss over these minor issues anymore and asked, [With this leaked information from Gui Po, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing might still be clueless, but Sun Wukong probably already suspects someone will block the way.]

[And what can he do if he suspects?] Li Changzhou was unconcerned, [This river is a dead end; they either die here or they must move on whether they wish to or not.]

Guanyin also slightly smiled, [Tang Seng would mistake a mace for a needle, he truly is simple-minded. Even if Sun Wukong has great abilities, he can't convince those with merely mortal eyes. Your plan should be fine.]

Having left the cave dwelling, Li Changzhou swam upstream, all the way to the source of the Tongtian River.

With a black eagle watching over Tang Seng and Cuicui and her yellow dog in the river—no one could snatch this business deal away. With a sniff from the yellow dog's nose, Tang Seng's location could be pinpointed precisely, so Li Changzhou wasn't worried about them crossing the river unnoticed while he was absent.

The source of the Tongtian River was a small water pit within a vast grassland, with majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance. The peaks were several tens of thousands of meters high. If placed on modern Earth, they would reach into the stratosphere, clearly visible from outer space.

The Tongtian River was thousands of miles wide at its source, a mere little pond. Li Changzhou cut his hand, stopping the wound from healing and plunged his hand into the icy water.

Dark red blood flowed out, a strong vitality filled the air, and the grass on both sides visibly grew.

Li Changzhou silently recited the incantation "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique," and the blood spread through the water like veins, following the river downstream.

Guanyin suddenly asked, [You haven't practised any water techniques, but you seem to be quite adept with water?]

Li Changzhou laughed and shared the memories of training punches in the great lake within the "Honey Jar World" with her.

Back then, he had no Daoist techniques like those in the Fragrant Leaf Crown, relying purely on instinct to cultivate in waters 500 meters deep.

Guanyin fell silent for a moment, vaguely feeling that Li Changzhou's "Physical Enhancement" was not merely about increasing strength but was also astounded by his terrifying adaptability.

Every life form has its own limits, even Buddha and the Jade Emperor, however exalted they might be, could not reach the Divine Will Great Wall.

The human body naturally has its limits too. Speaking of vision alone, the too small and too large are invisible, as are the too close and too far. Life on foreign planets and the small creatures in a drop of water are also unseen.

It's even more impossible to simply punch in a lake for a few days and then adapt to the water like a fish, perhaps even better than a fish.

Li Changzhou immersed himself in cultivating, usually spending time only with Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia. Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia also only spent time with him, and the three were completely unaware of the incredible nature of this seemingly trivial detail.

In the Primordial era, the trio was so secluded that they didn't even know that Sun Wukong made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace.

However, Guanyin, who had lived for many years, incarnating countless times in pursuit of becoming a Buddha, wandering through every era of human society, having seen countless people, good and bad, saw Li Changzhou's uniqueness at a glance.

[There's something wrong with this river!]

Guanyin quickly came to her senses and looked out through Li Changzhou's Perception and exclaimed in alarm.

[It's your blood that's the issue!]

As the blood flowed with the current, it reached the bottom without any hindrance.

Not to mention that this was the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" of Blood Refining, which was meant to refine the blood to flow endlessly like river water, nurturing all beings and carrying thousands of mountains, just dropping blood into the river shouldn't have spread so fast and smoothly!
