Meng Ting was also very surprised that Kunpeng had actually broken through to the late stage of Void Immortal Ancestor at this time. However, this was good news for her. After all, the stronger Li Mu and his gang were, the smoother her plan would be.

“Hehe, congratulations to Deputy Palace Master Kunpeng. You are one step closer to the realm of the Heavenly Dao God.” Meng Ting said with a smile.

Kunpeng cupped his hands as a return gesture, but thought to himself, "Little girl, if the Palace Master didn't want to be high-profile right now, I wonder what you would think if you saw my true state now."

Meng Ting sighed faintly: "Ah, I really envy you. It's still a long way for me to achieve enlightenment."

"Hmm~?" Hearing Meng Ting say this, Li Mu's heart moved. From what Meng Ting said, she was not completely unable to attain enlightenment? This made Li Mu somewhat interested. After all, the Chaos Sea was known as the Land of Sin. It was well known that the Jianmu of the Qiongzu Universe did not allow cultivators from the Chaos Sea to attain enlightenment. And cultivators who entered the Chaos Sea could never leave, except for the domain masters sent by the six major forces.

"Elder Meng, from what you said, you still have a way to leave the Chaos Sea?" Li Mu asked tentatively.

Before Meng Ting could speak, Gu Lan said calmly, "Chaos Merchants is not a small force that only lives in a corner of the Chaos Sea. It is a well-known existence in the entire Qiongzu Universe. In terms of strength, it is second only to the six major forces. Naturally, they have a way to send people away."

“Damn, this is too unfair. People from the six major forces can come and go freely in the Chaos Sea, and so can Chaos Trading Company. So these so-called rules are to restrict little people like us with no background, right?” Kunpeng stood up suddenly and said angrily. His anger was completely from the bottom of his heart. He was also a native born in the Chaos Sea. If he hadn't entered a forbidden area by chance and obtained the qualification to prove his Tao, he would probably have been like other local cultivators and would never have a chance to succeed. Moreover, he would most likely not meet Li Mu. Those people from the big forces made their own rules, but they didn't abide by them.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, and said to Meng Ting awkwardly: "Hey, Elder Meng, don't mind me. I am a straightforward person, and I am not talking about people but just things. I am naturally happy that you can leave the Chaos Sea."

Meng Ting smiled helplessly:

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Don't you think it's a bit self-deceptive to talk about the word 'fairness'?" Gulan sneered.

“But we can’t trample on the rules at will, right? If we continue like this, there will be big problems in the Qiongzu Universe sooner or later!” Kunpeng said.

"Would you care what a group of ants think of you?"

"A large number of ants can kill an elephant!"

Gulan shook his head and said calmly, "You are wrong. A large number of ants can indeed kill an elephant, but you are the Immortal Ancestor of the Void. You can destroy the existence of a universe with a wave of your hand."

"This..." Kunpeng was speechless and shocked. Gulan meant that in front of the real big guys of the Qiongzu Universe, the gap between Chaos Sea and them was like the gap between an ant and himself? What kind of despair was this?

"The allocation of qualifications for attaining enlightenment is in their hands. Why should other cultivators compete with them?" Gulan snorted coldly.

Qingyao was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, and said, "The cultivators who have achieved enlightenment are not static, and once they have achieved enlightenment, their life span is basically eternal. During these long years, there will always be some cultivators who find their conscience and come up with new ideas..."

"Cough~cough~cough~" Meng Ting coughed a few times and quickly interrupted Qingyao's speech, whispering: "You little girl, do you really dare to say anything? Are you looking for death?"

Qingyao didn't care, she thought to herself: "You are the little girl, I am now a powerful person in the middle stage of the Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor!"

However, Gulan raised his hand and set up a ban around him, saying calmly: "Little girl, you may be a little too naive. High-level practitioners are all vested interests. Do you think they will do anything that harms their own interests? Let me tell you, it will never happen! Maybe at some point in their lives they will have the new ideas you mentioned, but they are all old monsters who have lived for countless years. In the face of real interests, your so-called new ideas will soon be annihilated in their countless years of time."

When Mengting heard Gulan say this, she was so shocked that her mouth opened wide. She wanted to stop him, but in the end, for some reason, she did not take action.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows. This Gulan has a rebellious heart! His heart moved, and he snorted and said, "Is it inappropriate for you to tell us this? Do you have any objections to the people above?"

"That depends on how you want to understand it." Gulan said calmly, looking nonchalant.

"Aren't you afraid that I will spread the outrageous words you said today?" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

Gulan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You can try and see who will be the unlucky one, you or me."

"Ahem~ Palace Master Li Mu, Sister Gulan's surname is Ji." Meng Ting explained to Li Mu in a low voice.

Li Mu was stunned when he heard this: "But the 'Ji' I'm thinking of?"

Mengting nodded slightly.

Li Mu suddenly became strange. The six major forces in the Qiongzu Universe are divided into the upper three forces and the lower three forces. The upper three forces are all in the form of families, namely: Ji Family, Jiang Family, and Yao Family; the lower three forces are sects, namely: Juling Sect, Tianri Temple, and Yuansheng Mansion. The ranking is based on order, and the stronger the one is, the higher the ranking is.

It is obvious that this Ji Gulan is from the Ji family among the top three forces, and is a descendant of the largest force in the Qiongzu Universe!

Kunpeng's neck shrank as well, his face turned pale with fear. Although he was now at the level of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor, he was not arrogant enough to challenge the Ji family. Moreover, strictly speaking, in the Qiongzu Universe, the Ji family was the ruler, the one who made the rules, and the one that everyone supported; while the Lingxiao Palace was a thief, a heretic, an evil demon, and everyone wanted to kill him. He just said such treasonous words in front of the Ji family. Wasn't this courting death?

However, Qingyao didn't know much about the power of the Qiongzu Universe, so she was still a little unconvinced and said, "Even so, if the people below are not convinced, sooner or later they will unite to resist. Can they still kill all those ordinary cultivators?"

When Qingyao said this, Li Mu also carefully observed Ji Gulan's expression and found that she did not look angry, so he wanted to see if Ji Gulan's butt was crooked. So after Qingyao finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Haha, the little girl is ignorant, fellow Taoist, please don't mind."

Ji Gulan ignored Li Mu. Instead, she looked at Qingyao with some appreciation and continued, "Let me tell you a story."
