The Jade Emperor and Empress bowed at Li Nianfan. They appeared rather awkward as they greeted, "Lord Saint, sorry to disturb you."

They had restrained themselves so much already.

Nobody knew who it was, but some big-mouth let out the news that the expert was about to teach today. It went viral, the entire Heavenly Temple knew about it!

Early in the morning, a bunch of people came over. If it was not for the Jade Emperor and Empress that restrained them, this would have made a scene!

What did they think the Deluxe Merit Palace was? They were queueing to die, right?

Those who came were people who were closer to Li Nianfan. Ye Liuyun, Xiao Chengfeng, Chang'e, Lu Yue, the Jade Emperor, and the Empress. Nevertheless, this was not a small group either.

This gathering was…so awkward!

Li Nianfan raised an eyebrow. "You're here…"

The Empress said, "Lord Saint, Lan said you wanted to tell her about the elements of the world. We're curious as well, so we're embarrassing ourselves by coming here uninvited."

"Oh, I see." Li Nianfan nodded. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I was just in the mood. However, this isn't proper knowledge, it's nothing. It's just for entertainment. Why did you come in person?"

He was just trying to act cool, to show off his wealth of knowledge. Who would have thought that even the Jade Emperor and Empress came! This was a little too much.

Perhaps they were too bored and curious.

The Jade Emperor smiled awkwardly. "Ha-ha, curiosity! I hope you don't mind!"

Just for entertainment?

Those were the elements of the world! This was a big matter for all of them!

This was not 'proper knowledge'? What was 'proper knowledge' to the expert, then?

He was an unending mountain! Unending!

"Of course, I don't mind." Li Nianfan turned around and invited them in. "Please, come on in."

Instantly, the crowd made a gesture at Li Nianfan and walked in through the main door.

There were seven of them. Lu Yue was the easiest to spot.

He did not look ordinary. Meanwhile, his face was pale with some whip-marks across his face and neck. Li Nianfan quickly glanced at him. It was apparent that his flesh was already torn. It was likely that he offended the Heavenly Laws and was punished.

He was in such bad shape and yet, he still insisted on coming to listen? How hardworking!

Instantly, Li Nianfan said, "Immortal Lu Yue, have you been punished? If you don't feel well, you may come back another time."

"No need, really, no need. My body's well!" Lu Yue's face changed as he quickly patted his chest to show his vitality.

However, in the next moment, he started coughing out a mouthful of fresh blood. He quickly closed his mouth and swallowed it back in. He wiped away the blood on his lips.

He smiled it off. "It's a small thing, a small wound."

"Please, come in." Since Lu Yue was so hardworking, what else could Li Nianfan say?

"Nanan, hurry up and bring tea to the guests," Li Nianfan said. "Sorry, we just had breakfast, I don't have any food left."

"It's okay! It's okay!" The Jade Emperor quickly waved it off. "We've already disturbed you. Please, you're being too kind!"

Li Nianfan halted. Then, he said, "Dragin, go bring the television over."

Luckily, after speaking to Lan yesterday, he made some preparations. He had something ready for them.

The guests sat down in the living room. They all looked at Li Nianfan, excited and curious. They were like curious cats craving knowledge.

"Cough, cough, I think you all know that the world is composed of different elements. And so, do you know what elements are made of?"

Li Nianfan composed his thoughts and said, "Atoms. For example, water's made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms."

"Atom?"

The crowd was confused. However, they became even more curious.

They had not heard about it before!

Interesting, how interesting!

Li Nianfan said, "The atom is very, very small. Normally, we won't be able to see it, but they're…very powerful! Very powerful!"

"We can't see it?"

The Jade Emperor and the rest exchanged a look. They were all very excited. The expert phrased it nicely, but they knew.

Why could they not see it? That was because their realm was not high enough!

If they could see the atoms, would that not also mean that they could see the basic elements of the world!?

Perhaps only God Pangu could have the construct of the entire world clearly laid out in front of him.

Li Nianfan shook his head and sighed. "We can't see it. Unfortunately, I don't have enough devices here, if not, I could show you how atoms move."

"You could…show us…atoms?"

The Jade Emperor and the crowd felt their hearts sinking. They found it hard to believe and were all extremely shocked.

What kind of device could show them the atoms? Ultimate Treasure! This was way beyond Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!

"However, I could show you how powerful the atoms are!" Li Nianfan smiled. Since his crowd was not as knowledgeable, there was no point in saying more. He could only conclude, "To conclude in simple terms, each material in the world is in an unstable state. Sometimes they break, sometimes they bond into another form of material. Regardless of the material is broken or bonded, it produces energy. It can then be considered as a source of energy in the world. For example, the energy of the sun is produced by the combining of two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. This is known as a nuclear reaction."

The Jade Emperor and the crowd were perplexed. They could only vaguely understand what they heard but that did not stop them from finding this very advanced and insightful.

Mark that down! Mark that down!

This was about the production of energy! It was likely to help in their cultivation!

They could revise it slowly in the future. It would be beneficial! They were getting somewhere! They were getting somewhere!

"Please, watch the television."

Li Nianfan had a thought and the television started playing.

Soon, a wilderness appeared. The Jade Emperor and the crowd were drawn into it, instantly appearing in the wilderness.

In the wilderness, there was a fully-armed man with a gun.

Pow!

Suddenly, a loud gunshot was heard. The gun in the man's hand let out a very powerful energy that was shooting forward.

Xiao Chengfeng jolted, he was extremely shocked. He said in a low voice, "This is…the explosion of the Foundation Building?"

Chang'e cried out in shock, "There's no hint of cultivation, and the item in his hand has no glow or anything. It doesn't seem like a treasure!"

Before they could analyze more, the gun in the man's hand turned into a bazooka and fired up!

"This…this is the energy of Golden Core?!"

The scene changed again.

It had turned into a missile. Following the changes, the Jade Emperor and the crowd seemed very shocked. Their slightly parted mouths were now big 'O's. Their jaws were dropping

It was okay if those were only the energy of Foundation Building or Golden Core. However, the explosion went up to the equivalent of Mahayala! This was unbelievable!

Most importantly, that was not the end!

"Is he really an ordinary man?"

"An ordinary man can use these treasures?"

They felt their scalps itching. What they saw had completely turned their worldview over. They no longer looked at the world the same way as before.

As they were feeling extremely shocked, a heart-sinking feeling approached them from above. They held back their breathing.

They looked up to see a gigantic missile falling from above. There was no aura, no visible power, but its destructiveness was as powerful as a Golden Immortal!

They could not help using their protective shield to shield themselves.

Vroom!

A thick and darkened cloud rose, swallowing everything like a flaming sea. The cloud spread out and wiped everything out, turning the wilderness into an emptied burnt hole!

The television was turned off. The crowd snapped back to reality with their rounded eyes and mouths. They were still looking very shocked.

The Jade Emperor pursed his lips. "Lord Saint, that…what…what treasure was that?"

Li Nianfan shook his head. "Not a treasure. It's like the bow and arrow used by ordinary men. It's a weapon."

"Wea…pon?" How could there be such a powerful weapon? Xiao Chengfeng was stunned. He could not help looking at the longsword in his hand. His treasure was not as powerful as that man's!

"The final weapon was a nuclear bomb. It's caused by the nuclear fusion of atoms. Actually, as long as we know more about the world, even an ordinary man could use this energy to make a powerful and destructive explosion."

Li Nianfan paused and continued, "Of course, this is nothing compared to cultivational treasures. After all, these weapons are dead. They're only destructive."

The nuclear bomb was just a fraction of the explosion exuded by a Golden Immortal. In comparison, a thousand nuclear bombs were not even one hand of the Golden Immortal.

However, this already made the crowd very shocked.

The energy was not too shocking to them. However…that energy was made by an ordinary man. That was terrifying!

How unbelievable! How shocking!

Seeing that they were so shocked and speechless, Li Nianfan felt good about himself. Humans were so powerful that even the Immortals were shocked. How great was that!

He lifted his hand and took out some printed papers with the words 'Periodic Table of Elements'.

"This list consists of basically all the elements in the world. I printed a few extra copies, have a look if you're interested."

Gasp…

The crowd gasped at the same time.

How was this a periodic table? This was the entire world!

"We're interested, very interested!" the Jade Emperor and the crowd said quickly. They stared at the piece of paper and cautiously received it. They treated the paper like a treasure, very important.

On the paper, there were many words and signs. They did not understand many of them but this did not stop them from finding it very advanced.

With this, they owned the world!

The Empress said, "Thank you, Lord Saint. We've learned a lot from you today."

Li Nianfan laughed it off, "Ha-ha-ha, you're welcome. It was a nice chat, we learn from one another."

With that, the crowd blankly walked out of the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace. The students still felt their brains humming loudly. What they learned today was too powerful and shocking. They needed time to digest.

The content of the television and Li Nianfan's description helped them to gradually understand better. However, they were still perplexed as if something was blocking them from completely understanding.

"I was confused about why the expert would help the ordinary people to detoxify my plague. Now I kind of understand," Lu Yue said suddenly. "As cultivators, we always have to comply with the Heavenly Laws. Although ordinary people don't have power, they can still understand the laws of the world. By understanding the laws, they can do many extraordinary things."

"Indeed, as shown in the expert's television, the weapons in the beginning were made with the elements of the world while the nuclear bomb at the end was made by understanding the basics of the elements!"

The Jade Emperor's eyes sparkled. He was excited and his body jolted. "Once the ordinary people understand the laws of the world, they could have powers just as powerful. However, if one understands the nature of the laws, the explosion would be even more massive!"

"From a Daluo Golden Immortal to becoming a Saint, one needs to understand all the laws in the world. A Saint can create laws for oneself, creating things through words. However, a Saint is still restrained by the world. The rank above a Saint is to cultivate…the nature of the world! To create the world!" the Empress said with a trembling voice. She was very shocked. "The expert is…preaching to us!"

Although the lesson was short, what they learned today was more insightful than what Dao Zu taught them back then. If Dao Zu knew about it, even he would rush over to listen to the expert.

They held the periodic table in their hand. Treasure! They must carefully read it through!

They would memorize it first!

It was too precious! This was a new record since Prehistoric times!
