Chapter 44: Proportion
Li Anran returned to the prison and thought seriously about what happened today.
There is no need to think about Yang Jian's deal, he will definitely agree to it.
It was not only to gain more goodwill from Yang Jian, but more importantly, to exchange a promise made four or five hundred years later for the current support of the God of Justice.
It is a lucrative business in itself!
The key now is that he must find the right balance!
He had to show Yang Jian the potential of his investment, but he couldn't make the golden finger appear too buggy!
Interests move people!
Yang Jian had no ill will towards him now, and even after guessing that he had obtained a great opportunity in the Heavenly Prison, he did not have any covetous intentions.
But, it doesn’t mean that he won’t do it in the future!
As the god of justice, Yang Jian has strong cultivation and tremendous power. He doesn't care about a true immortal, celestial immortal, mysterious immortal, or even a golden immortal or Taiyi golden immortal.
But, what if it is a Daluo Jinxian, a quasi-sage, or a saint?
What if this opportunity allows one to smoothly break through to the Golden Immortal level?
Even if Yang Jian himself doesn't care, he will most likely help the Three Holy Mothers to take it away!
After all, asking someone else to protect the Three Holy Mothers is not as reliable as asking the Three Holy Mothers to protect herself!
When it comes to the Three Holy Mothers, Yang Jian's bottom line is definitely extremely low and he is not trustworthy!
Li Anran immediately opened the book of punishments and began to check the criminals' life stories purposefully.
He wanted to see the average speed at which these gods and monsters improved their cultivation, and then draw a line for himself.
After spending more than half an hour, Li Anran finally completed the statistics and had a clearer understanding of the gods and monsters.
The speed at which monsters practice is entirely determined by their bloodlines.
Those with poor bloodline often need thousands of years to break through to the realm of true immortals.
Please note that the poor bloodline mentioned here is only relative to other monsters in the Heavenly Prison.
Even these ones with poor backgrounds are considered the best among monsters in the mortal world.
At least they all inherited some incomplete skills and spells from their bloodlines , unlike the real low-level monsters which can only control the evil wind and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
This kind of low-level monster has no other opportunities and basically has no chance of becoming an immortal.
Those monsters with strong bloodlines, such as the Monkey King and the Long-armed Ape.
As long as they start practicing, they can break through to the True Immortal level in a hundred years at most, and then continue to make rapid progress until they have fully stimulated the potential of their bloodline and reached a bottleneck, at which time they will slow down.
During this process, if there are more opportunities and guidance from famous teachers, the speed of improvement in cultivation will be even more terrifying.
Monkeys are a typical example.
It has only been practicing with Patriarch Bodhi for twenty years, but when it came out of the mountain it was able to become friends with Bull Demon King and the others, which shows how quickly its strength increased.
However, this is also due to the fact that it has been nurtured in Huaguo Mountain for countless years.
Even if you change your master, its strength will improve more slowly, but the upper limit will not drop too much.
In comparison, the situation with the gods is completely different.
Aptitude, physique and comprehension are important, but inheritance from a master is the most important.
Among these nearly one hundred gods and immortals, more than 90% are related to Xuanmen, and less than one-tenth are independent cultivators.
Among these gods and immortals related to Xuanmen, the stronger their background and the better their cultivation methods, the faster their cultivation level will improve.
Among them, several had taken immortal fruits, elixirs and even peaches bestowed by their ancestors when they were still cultivators.
As expected, they became the few celestial beings among these gods.
Of course, the fact that they were able to receive rewards from the ancestor was also related to their outstanding qualifications.
Li Anran made some statistics.
The fastest of them reached the realm of true immortals in just over thirty years, and the slowest in less than two hundred years.
But after reaching the level of True Immortal, the speed at which they could improve their cultivation began to drop sharply because the help their master could provide decreased.
It may take hundreds of years to break through a small realm at the slowest, and half a century at the fastest.
To be honest, this speed is actually much faster than that of monsters that do not have complete inheritance.
However, after experiencing the speed of improvement in their cultivation from mortals to true immortals that was far superior to their peers, these immortals could not accept their own mediocre reality.
So, he set his sights on refining the magic pill.
"From this perspective, they are all relatively inferior among the gods. I am ten times faster than them..."
"No, ten times is too little! A hundred times... a hundred times seems a bit slow too!"
Li Anran was a little worried.
He needs to show his potential to be a top-notch genius, so the training speed of these poor students does not seem to be of much reference value.
Although, they are rare among the monks, one in a million.
At this time, a heavenly soldier came to report: "Master of the prison, General Kang has escorted the prisoner to the outside of the prison."
"Okay. I'll be right there."
Li Anran decided to put this troublesome problem aside for the time being and deal with it later when he had more reference objects.
When he arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Prison, Li Anran's face changed, and an uncontrollable murderous anger surged in his heart.
Because the prisoner in Boss Kang's hand, who had a hideous and ferocious appearance and two black wings on his back that looked like they were made of iron, was none other than the Iron-Winged King who had occupied his predecessor's cave and killed all of his predecessor's disciples and boys.
"You...you are that stinky Taoist priest!"
King Tieyi stared at Li Anran for several times before he suddenly recognized Li Anran's identity. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost: "How is this possible!"
Only then did it understand why the Temple of Justice suddenly targeted a small character like it.
However, he just couldn't understand how in just a few months, a casual cultivator whom he could easily injure could reach the Heavenly Palace and become the prison warden guarding the Heavenly Prison?
The Iron Wing King wanted to say a few more words, but Boss Kang waved his right hand, a golden light flashed, and the words in his mouth turned into screams.
Boss Kang said, "General Li, after the Second Master knew about your situation, he sent me to lead the troops to capture this evil beast."
Li Anran cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Thank you, Commander Kang."
He knew very well that Yang Jian was doing him a favor by doing this, and it was not even a piece of cake for Yang Jian.
However, revenge was the reason why he accepted the call of the heavenly soldiers, and it was also his greatest wish before awakening his wisdom, nothing else.
If it weren't for Yang Jian, it would take him at least a hundred years or even longer to come down to earth to take revenge.
He must remember this kindness in his heart no matter what!
"General Li, if you want to thank someone, then thank my Second Master. He was the one who ordered me to do this."
Boss Kang took out a case file from his bosom, handed it to Li Anran and said, "My Second Master has already investigated the evil deeds committed by this evil beast. There is no need for further trial. It will be taken to the Demon Slaying Platform to be executed in ten days. Before that, it will be handed over to General Li."
Li Anran immediately understood the deep meaning of his words and said, "I'd like to trouble Captain Kang to file a complaint with the judiciary on my behalf..."
After a pause, he changed his words and said, "Thank you, Second Master! Just tell me what you asked me to do, I will do my best to do it!"
The smile on Boss Kang's face suddenly became much brighter and friendlier. He took out a small booklet from his arms, stuffed it into Li Anran's hand, and said in a low voice, "This is where the reincarnations of General Li's disciples are. If General Li feels guilty, he can go and see them if he has a chance."
Li Anran was stunned and clenched the list in his hand. He really didn't know what to say .
Even if he was trying to win people's hearts, Yang Jian really touched his heart, making it impossible for him to refuse.
This method is many times more clever than that of Bhikkhu Yin.
Boss Kang said with a smile: "General Li, we are all working for the Second Master, we are family. From now on, you can just call me Boss Kang. If you need me in the future, just come to me."
"Brother Kang, if there is anything I can do for you, just let me know. I will not refuse." Li Anran promised.
"good."
Boss Kang didn't care. He handed the Iron Wing King to Li Anran and prepared to leave.
"Brother Kang, wait a minute."
Li Anran's heart suddenly moved, and he stopped Boss Kang. He first asked him about the capture of King Tieyi, and then asked about the recent situation in Wenyang Kingdom.
However, he thought about the blood feud between himself and the Iron Wing King. It would be against common sense if he didn't ask anything.
If it falls into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, it may be exposed that he has a way to know these things from other channels.
After a conversation, Li Anran also learned the specific situation.
After the Iron Wing King seized Qingxin Temple, he changed the name of Qingxin Temple to Black Feather Cave and treated Wenyang Kingdom as his own pen. Every now and then he would go to Wenyang Kingdom to capture some mortals and plunder some cattle, sheep, wine and food to eat.
It was still drinking and having fun until Boss Kang showed up. Then it was caught on the spot by Boss Kang and taken back to heaven.
Before leaving, Boss Kang also warned Li Anran earnestly: "Brother Li, although you are on duty in the prison and don't need to fight with others, cultivation is your own business, so you must not slack off!"
This obviously means that Li Anran’s cultivation is too weak!
But what could Li Anran say? He could only nod repeatedly to show that he would keep it in mind.
The Iron Wing King before him was only at the state of Transformation into Emptiness and Integration into the Dao.
They only dare to show off their power in the mortal world, or more precisely, in the small city-state of Xiniu Hezhou, and cannot even occupy a larger mountain.
But it was able to occupy Li Anran's cave and kill all of Li Anran's disciples.
It is understandable that Mr. Kang would have such thoughts.
As soon as Boss Kang left, Li Anran dragged King Tieyi into the Heavenly Prison.
First, use the Hehuan technique to stimulate the Iron Wing King's emotions and desires to the maximum, and then draw the evil spirit into his body, causing him to fall into an endless cycle of fear.
Ten days later, when he went up to the demon-slaying platform, King Iron Wings looked unharmed, but his soul was on the verge of collapse.
The knife fell.
Scared to death.
