Shen Gongbao is reborn, and he's had enough.
In his previous life, he worked tirelessly for the Chan Sect, only to be sacrificed to fill the North Sea's Eye.
This time, he's...
The Pure Void Moral True Lord's face was full of disdain, a cold smile playing on his lips as he said without any attempt to hide it:
"Hmph, what other reason could a despicable person like you have to laugh besides gloating?"
Ju Liusun also echoed this sentiment:
"Exactly, besides being inherently wicked, do you actually have a way to cure Qiongxiao?"
Now, both Wuliang Xianweng and Wudang Shengmu are helpless in dealing with Qiongxiao's situation.
Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable only gave a general direction, without specifying any effective methods.
What help could Shen Gongbao, a creature with fur and horns, possibly offer?
Anyway, neither Emotional Morality Master nor Detention Sun believed it.
However, while Emotional Morality True Lord and Juli Sun didn't believe it, the expressions of Shiji and Wen Zhong, who were standing to the side, instantly became tense:
"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you really have a way to awaken Qiongxiao?"
Shen Gongbao is capable of producing a 12th-grade Creation Green Lotus seed, so it seems not entirely impossible for him to awaken Qiongxiao.
However, upon hearing these words, Julusun immediately laughed:
"Him? A disgraced disciple of our sect who hasn't even learned many of our sect's techniques, and you actually believe he can solve Qiongxiao's current problem? If you were really that powerful, would we have expelled you from the sect? Do you really think everyone in our sect is blind?"
"snort"
The Holy Mother of Wudang let out a cold snort, her voice icy cold:
"I don't know if Shen Gongbao can awaken Qiongxiao, but one thing I'm certain of is that you Chan Sect members are all truly blind and ignorant!"
The Boundless Immortal stepped forward, his brows slightly furrowed:
"Junior Sister Wudang, while Junior Brother Julusun's words were somewhat inappropriate, what you've said is a bit much!"
The Holy Mother of Wudang sneered:
"You actually said I went too far? Then tell me, were the people of your Chan Sect the ones who called Shen Gongbao despicable and shameless?"
Wuliang Immortal wanted to refute, but Qingxu Moral True Lord and the other man had indeed said the same thing before, so he couldn't openly say that they hadn't said it.
Seeing that the Boundless Immortal Elder was speechless, the coldness on the face of the Holy Mother Wudang intensified.
"Since you say Shen Gongbao is despicable and shameless, then tell me exactly where he is despicable and shameless."
"Do I need to list them all? Has Shen Gongbao done far too few despicable and shameless things?"
Before the Boundless Immortal Elder could speak, the Pure Void Moral True Lord had already begun to speak with an indignant expression:
“Take our senior brother for example. Shen Gongbao has been taught by him ever since he entered the Jade Void Palace. Senior brother has repeatedly told Shen Gongbao to focus on cultivating the Jade Purity True Technique, but what has Shen Gongbao done?”
"He actually secretly practiced puppetry and Yin Thunder Spells behind his senior brother's back. Did he respect his senior brother's teachings? Did he consider his senior brother's good intentions?"
The Holy Mother of Wudang looked at the Immortal Elder of Boundless Light with an incredulous expression:
"You only taught Shen Gongbao the techniques, not how to fight? You even had to steal a low-level technique like puppetry from a sage like Shen Gongbao?"
Faced with the questioning of the Holy Mother Wudang, the Immortal Elder Wuliang's eyes darted away, while the True Lord Qingxu Daode simply snorted indifferently:
"What's the big deal? Senior Brother is only thinking about that beast Shen Gongbao. Who knows if he'll become unruly after learning magic and attack his own fellow disciples?"
"Shen Gongbao had already passed the Transformation Tribulation before joining the Chan Sect. How could you possibly think that a demon cultivator at the Celestial Immortal Realm would be so wild and untamed?"
Even the Holy Mother of Wudang was amused by this:
"Alright, go on. I'd like to see what other despicable and shameless things Shen Gongbao has to offer."
The Pure Void Moral True Lord did not delay and continued to speak:
"Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you more so that you can see Shen Gongbao's true colors and avoid being deceived by his sweet talk."
"Three years after Shen Gongbao became a disciple, he wanted to forge a magical artifact of his own, so he specifically sought me out..."
"etc"
The Holy Mother of Wudang suddenly interrupted the True Lord of Qingxu Morality:
"Your Chan Sect doesn't have many disciples to begin with, and Shen Gongbao is also a disciple of Master Yuanshi. Even if Master Yuanshi didn't personally bestow any spiritual treasures upon him, your Jade Void Palace shouldn't be lacking in weapons, right? Why would he need you to forge magical treasures?"
"That's because there aren't any suitable weapons for someone like me with fur and horns in the Jade Void Palace!"
Before Qingxu Daode Zhenjun could speak, Shen Gongbao had already calmly stepped forward.
"You do have some self-awareness."
The Pure Void Moral True Lord glanced at Shen Gongbao with a sarcastic expression, then turned his gaze back to the Holy Mother of Wudang:
"The reason is what Shen Gongbao said: our Chan Sect's weapons are forged for virtuous people, so they are naturally not suitable for someone like him who has fur and horns."
As he spoke, the Pure Void Moral True Lord, looking quite pleased with himself, was about to continue when the Holy Mother of Wudang suddenly waved her hand, somewhat disheartened, and said:
"Forget it, you should just leave. I don't want to offend my ears any further."
"That's right, get out of here! Seeing people like you makes me want to vomit. You call Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao shameless, but I think you so-called virtuous people of the Chan Sect are the truly despicable and vile ones!"
Shi Ji had long been fed up with the three of them, including Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and now that Wudang Shengmu had spoken, she no longer concealed her disgust.
"Please!"
Wen Zhong's face also darkened, and he adopted a posture as if to drive people away.
The Pure Void Moral True Lord looked blankly at the three, including the Holy Mother of Wudang, who had suddenly turned hostile:
"You actually want to drive us away? We came here to rescue Qiongxiao! Don't forget, Qiongxiao hasn't even woken up yet!"
Shi Ji's eyes widened:
"If I told you to get out, then get out of here! Stop with all this nonsense. You're the ones who ruined Qiongxiao. Do you really think we can count on you to save her?"
The gaze of the Pure Void Moral True Lord swept over Shi Ji, Wen Zhong, and the Holy Mother of Wudang before finally landing on Shen Gongbao, at which point he suddenly burst into laughter:
"You don't really believe Shen Gongbao can save Qiongxiao, do you? If he, a disgraced disciple of the Chan Sect, can solve Qiongxiao's current problems, then what's the point of me, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, being one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect?"
Seeing the unrestrained laughter of the Pure Void Moral True Lord, Shi Ji was completely unaffected, and simply sneered:
Are the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect very powerful?
"In my opinion, you're not even worthy of carrying Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao's shoes!"
"What makes you think that Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao can't save Qiongxiao?"
"Do you know that the twelfth-grade Creation Lotus seed that Qiongxiao took was taken out by Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao?"
"With such a treasure of such high quality, is it really impossible for Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao to revive Qiongxiao?"
