The temperament of Yuanshi Tianzun was far from being as gentle and easygoing as it appeared on the surface.

Deep down, he was even more ruthless than the Tongtian Cult Leader.

To put it bluntly...

Yuanshi Tianzun is a hypocrite.

only.

He was used to pretending and wouldn't let anyone see through his hypocrisy.

The Chan Sect had fewer disciples than the Jie Sect and the Ren Sect, but every disciple of the Chan Sect was a genius with unparalleled talent.

Every disciple of the Chan Sect must obtain the consent of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

These disciples, as direct disciples, were actually subject to Yuanshi Tianzun in every way, because Yuanshi Tianzun needed a great deal of control.

In this situation.

It's inevitable that this will breed a rebellious mentality.

Guang Chengzi was no exception.

Many years ago.

Guang Chengzi secretly took on a disciple. This disciple was not very talented, but he was very compatible with Guang Chengzi, and Guang Chengzi liked him very much.

In addition.

Guang Chengzi had no children. Although he didn't need to worry about running out of lifespan and having no successor, he still wanted to have a son or daughter by his side.

Because of this idea, Guang Chengzi loved this disciple very much.

However, Guang Chengzi never revealed the existence of this disciple.

He knew it very well.

From the perspective of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he would absolutely look down on this disciple. At best, he would exile him; at worst, he would execute him.

even so.

Guang Chengzi continued to keep him by his side and teach him.

He fantasized that as long as he kept it a secret enough, the Celestial Venerable wouldn't know about it. Besides, he had also instructed this disciple not to mention anything about Taoism when he went out.

But one day...

This disciple is dead.

He died very suddenly.

even.

The cause of death was completely unknown; it was impossible to tell how he died.

But Guang Chengzi knew in his heart that it was the Heavenly Venerable who had done it, and he could not tolerate having a disciple with such low talent under his Chan Sect.

If word gets out about this disciple, it will be a disgrace to the Chan Sect.

Or rather...

It lowered the prestige of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

In the dictionary of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, his disciples could be ruthless and inhumane, or they could be kind and benevolent people of the world, but they absolutely could not be useless.

Guang Chengzi collected the disciple's body and buried it in a suitable place.

From then on.

Guang Chengzi then realized that he, the Celestial Venerable, was never someone who could be easily fooled.

That's why.

Guang Chengzi was not particularly concerned about Yu Ding Zhenren's little tricks.

Even he could sense Yu Ding Zhenren's ulterior motives, so Yuanshi Tianzun probably already knew about them, but had been keeping quiet about it.

Yuanshi Tianzun knew very well how to destroy everything a person had when they were at their most triumphant.

Guang Chengzi experienced this.

so.

He behaved himself.

but.

The other twelve immortals of the Chan Sect seem to be itching to make a move.

Guang Chengzi closed his eyes again, settled down, and focused on repairing his injuries.

to be honest.

It's true that Master Yu Ding is protective of his own, but it's also true that he's selfish.

The fact that he is willing to go out and about despite not being fully recovered shows that what he is doing is very important to him.

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the disciples.

Right now.

This is definitely not the time to defend one's own.

What he wants to do is only related to himself.

Whether it will succeed or not remains to be seen.

...

The ancient world was in complete chaos.

The demon god is at war with the descendants of Nuwa.

Meanwhile, the demon army was wantonly slaughtering the creatures of the ancient world.

The situation was much worse than Lu Henge had anticipated.

at least.

Lu Henge had anticipated that the Ancient Realm should be able to hold out for some time, and that it wouldn't have been breached in just two days.

But reality is cruel.

The defenses of the ancient realm were as fragile as a sheet of paper.

but.

Lu Henge was unaware of this.

After a short period of research, Lu Henge discovered that his body had a very high tolerance for the calamity poison.

certainly.

Anything that is poisonous will definitely harm the body.

Lu Henge could feel that the flow of immortal energy within his body had become much more obstructed, unlike before when it was as smooth and unrestrained.

But it's just divine power.

Lu Henge possesses a great deal of power.

Celestial power is just the most basic level.

The calamity poison had no effect on the Daoist energy within Lu Henge's body, and that was enough.

Not only that.

The World Tree is also interested in calamity-inducing poisons.

The leaves of the World Tree should be the most precious elixir in the world, capable of saving lives and even defying death.

But when the World Tree's leaves were infused with a deadly poison, the poison and the leaves became completely compatible, transforming it into the most terrifying poison in the world.

Lu Henge was already quite talented in alchemy.

Let me think about it for a moment.

He then devised a method of poison cultivation that was uniquely suited to him.

Before his strength is fully restored, this path of cultivating poison will be his greatest guarantee.

in addition.

Lu Henge's prediction was correct.

Because the Calamity Poison was tainted with Di Xi's demon blood, Lu Henge was able to continue cultivating demonic techniques after absorbing and refining the poison.

"My strength has recovered somewhat."

Lu Henge exhaled a breath of purple poison gas.

now.

If you look inside the World Tree again, you will see a rather magical scene.

The green that originally represented vibrant life was replaced by a rich purple, and the World Stone became a strange tree that was half green and half purple.

What's even more amazing is that there are very few green leaves, which represent vitality; only a few dozen are scattered on the branches.
