"Hehe..." Upon hearing Zhenwu Saint's words, Langya Saint let out a bitter laugh.
Is this the truth?
Were both Dao Ancestor Li Er and True Martial Saint Lord acting in their own best interests? By preventing me from participating in breaking the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, they actually wanted to reserve the opportunity to participate in breaking the thirty-fifth heaven for themselves?
"Hahaha..." Then, the Sage of Langya burst into maniacal laughter, repeatedly saying, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, Zhenwu, do you think I would believe what you're saying? Zhenwu, do you think I'm a child? Everyone looks out for themselves, and you say that you and the Dao Ancestor are doing all this for my own good? I don't believe it at all!"
"Could it be that the Dao Ancestor allocated so little Origin Power to me back then not because he disliked me, not because he wanted to obtain more Origin Power for himself, not because he was jealous of my talent, and not because he was afraid that I would surpass him?"
"Zhenwu, you hypocrite! You've always acted like a nice guy! What kind of person is that? So you don't want to disturb my seclusion? Haha, I haven't absorbed much source power yet. I just broke through to the upper-level saint realm not long ago. Why would you be afraid of disturbing my seclusion? It's all just sweet talk!"
"It was your outward appearance that deceived everyone, including the Dao Ancestor, that led him to allocate so much primordial power to you. Is this the behavior of a kind-hearted person? Heh, and now you're still trying to deceive me..."
The Sage of Langya shook his head repeatedly and laughed miserably. At the same time, he kept backing away, and his body even staggered a little. It was clear that the words of the True Martial Saint had dealt him a heavy blow.
So many years of persistence, so many years of obsession, even though it was just a crack, it was still hard for him to bear, especially after some of his plans came to nothing.
Zhenwu Saint King looked at Langya Saint with a complicated expression. He had not expected things to come to this. He sometimes wondered what would have happened if Dao Ancestor had not treated Langya Saint with special treatment, or if he had told Langya about Dao Ancestor's plans earlier. What would Langya be like now, and what would his future be like?
Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world. Once something has happened, you can never go back to the perfect time you once were.
The saying "human hearts are fickle" is indeed true.
Although they have reached a very high level in the universe, and although they can sense a person's thoughts at a time and even see through the most essential things in a person's heart, they cannot predict what that person will become in the future.
Even a transcendent figure like the Dao Ancestor could not predict it with 100% certainty.
"not good!"
Just then, Lin Yun suddenly looked up, staring into the distance, his expression changing drastically.
His powerful senses allowed him to detect three powerful auras rapidly approaching them from a distant location, and the owners of those three auras were even stronger than him.
If there are no surprises, the owners of these three powerful auras should be those three Saint-level ghost cultivators. They have already discovered their location and are rushing towards this place.
"It must have been the commotion caused by the Sage of Langya that attracted their attention..." Lin Yun thought anxiously as he looked at the Sage of Langya, whose aura was constantly fluctuating.
Just now, because Zhenwu Saint Lord was talking to Langya Saint, he did not take Zhenwu Saint Lord with him when he left.
Now, they have no choice but to leave, otherwise they will soon be caught up by those three Saint-level ghost cultivators.
Even if they run away right now, they might not be able to shake off those three Saint-level ghost cultivators. After all, the other party is stronger than him, and their senses should be stronger than his. If they have already locked onto them, how can they escape?
"True Martial Saint Lord, those three Saint Lord-level ghost cultivators are catching up. We have to go..." Lin Yun said quickly to True Martial Saint Lord.
"Yes! Let's go!" Zhenwu Saint King's expression changed, and he immediately nodded.
His strength had greatly decreased, which also greatly reduced his senses. He did not sense that the three Saint-level ghost cultivators were chasing after him. However, he trusted Lin Yun's judgment, and since he was originally a Saint-level expert himself, he knew very well that the commotion made by the Langya Saint could indeed be sensed by the three Saint-level ghost cultivators.
At that moment, he felt guilty. He shouldn't have talked to the Sage of Langya here. No matter what his and Dao Ancestor's original plans were, the Sage of Langya had ultimately done something treasonous. He didn't need to put Lin Yun in danger just to explain anything to the Sage of Langya.
Now, Lin Yun is the only hope in this universe. If Lin Yun perishes because of him and the Sage of Langya, then he and the Sage of Langya will be the greatest sinners in this universe.
"Wait!" Seeing that Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint were about to leave, Langya Saint suddenly seemed to wake up. He looked up at Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint and shouted loudly.
"What? Those three Saint-level ghost cultivators have already discovered our whereabouts. I advise you to leave here immediately! Now, Lin Yun is the only hope in this universe, and he absolutely cannot perish here!" The True Martial Saint-King paused, his eyes coldly fixed on the Langya Saint, and said.
He may be good-tempered, but even good-tempered people have tempers and get angry. He had already explained things to the Sage of Langya, but the Sage of Langya's stubborn reaction disappointed him greatly.
Therefore, when Zhenwu Shengjun saw Langya Shengzhe calling out to them, he did not give Langya Shengzhe a friendly look.
However, since they were fellow disciples, he thought about it and decided to tell the Sage of Langya that the three Saint-level ghost cultivators were about to catch up with them. He also advised the Sage of Langya to leave, knowing that the Sage of Langya might be seriously injured and might not be able to sense that the three Saint-level ghost cultivators were coming.
"Heh..." Hearing Zhenwu Saint Monarch's advice, Langya Saint Monarch smiled sadly, and shook his head slightly, seemingly thinking of something.
Then, the Sage of Langya looked up at the True Martial Saint King and said, word by word, "Back then, the Dao Ancestor left the two of us behind, intending for us to participate in breaking through the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth heavens of this universe. What were your thoughts? Did you intend to participate in breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven or the thirty-fifth heaven? Which of these two tasks did you intend to leave to me?"
The amount of cosmic origin power gained from breaking through each new level of heaven will be greater than the sum of all the cosmic origin power gained from breaking through all the previous levels. Therefore, the difference between the gains from breaking through the thirty-fourth level of heaven and the gains from breaking through the thirty-fifth level of heaven is like heaven and earth.
Zhenwu Saint Lord frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that the Sage of Langya would ask them to stay to inquire about this question. Besides, didn't the Sage of Langya disbelieve his words? This matter, this choice, ultimately didn't happen! What's the point of asking such a question now?
However, Zhenwu Saint King still voiced his original thoughts, saying, "I have been thinking about this matter as well. According to what Dao Ancestor said, his friend's reincarnation has absolutely no problem breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, and may even be able to break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe!"
"According to the law that after breaking through one level and obtaining the power of the origin of the outside world, it becomes much more difficult to break through a new level. Whether it is the thirty-fourth level or the thirty-fifth level of this universe, if one has not participated in breaking through a new level before, the reincarnation of Dao Ancestor's friend would have no problem breaking through any level!"
"However, if he participates in breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, and then participates in breaking through the thirty-fifth heaven, he may not be able to break through it 100%! So, there is a risk here: if one of us participates in breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, and the other person cannot join forces with the reincarnation of the Dao Ancestor's friend to break through the thirty-fifth heaven, then they will gain nothing..."
"So, my initial plan was to tell you about this later and let you choose for yourself. However, things changed. The invisible spatial node connecting this universe and the Netherworld was broken, and Lin Yun appeared at the same time. I decided to let Lin Yun break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, and I will also leave this universe... Then, there will be no need to choose anymore. If the reincarnation of Dao Ancestor's friend appears, you can break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe together with the reincarnation of Dao Ancestor's friend..."
Zhenwu Saint Lord quickly transmitted his voice.
"Alright, Lin Yun, let's go!" After saying that, True Martial Saint Lord turned to look at Lin Yun and said.
His current strength is far inferior to Lin Yun's. If they leave, they will need Lin Yun to take him with them so that they can leave faster.
"Let me choose for myself? Heh, is that so..." The Sage of Langya said with a desolate smile.
"Will you tell me about this later? Why didn't you tell me before?" Then, the Sage of Langya asked another question.
"Whether Dao Ancestor's friend will eventually appear is ultimately uncertain. This matter is too big, and its impact on one's state of mind must be significant. I'm afraid that telling you this in advance might distract you. If Dao Ancestor's friend doesn't appear in the end, you might feel disappointed. It's best to avoid such emotions, otherwise it will be detrimental to your future cultivation..." Zhenwu Saint Monarch and Lin Yun had already left this space, but Zhenwu Saint Monarch's words still came from afar.
"Afraid I'll be distracted? Afraid I'll be disappointed? Heh, senior brother, you really do know how to think of me... You always act like you're thinking of me... Why didn't you tell me these things sooner... Why didn't you tell me sooner... Why... Why..." The Sage of Langya closed his eyes, gave a bitter laugh, and murmured.
call!
Suddenly, the Sage of Langya opened his eyes, and a cold glint flashed within them.
The next moment, he turned around and quickly darted forward.
That direction was clearly the direction of those three Saint-level ghost cultivators.
"I'm sorry you wasted some time talking to me and were discovered by these ghost cultivators. Let me hold them off for you and make up for the time you wasted. I, Langya Saint, never owe anyone anything..." The Langya Saint said coldly, his gaze firm.
The saint was fast, and the holy ruler was even faster. They flew towards each other and soon met.
"H-11"
In the starry sky, a great battle was instantly ignited.
"A superior saint-level being?"
"That's the little guy who just escaped!"
"So young yet possessing such strength, their talent must be extraordinary, and they must taste incredibly delicious when devoured!"
The three Saint-level ghost cultivators looked at the Ya Saint, their eyes shining.
"Heh, three devils, trying to kill me? Not so easy!"
Looking at the three Saint-level ghost cultivators before him, Saint Langya laughed wildly.
"I have broken through the new heavens of this universe, and not only obtained the power of the universe's origin, but also the power of the origin of the outside world. It is absolutely delicious. Let's see if you have the ability to devour it!" The Sage of Langya slashed with his sword and said arrogantly again.
"What? This little guy broke through a new barrier in this universe? Delicious! Absolutely delicious! If we devour this little guy, our gains will be enormous!"
"Let's devour this little guy first, then go find the boy who obtained the Blood Prison Sword. Anyway, this universe is not an open universe, there aren't many strong people, there's only one low-level Saint King who was crippled by himself, we can search slowly!"
Upon hearing these words from the Sage of Langya, the three Saint-level ghost cultivators were slightly surprised, but then they all exclaimed excitedly.
At this point, they already knew that this universe was not an open universe. When they first learned this, they were very excited because it meant that they no longer had to worry about their safety.
Before the two spatial passages were naturally repaired, this universe of living beings was their great treasure.
...
distance.
As Lin Yun and Zhenwu Shengjun were anxiously making their way, they suddenly sensed the change behind them, turned around abruptly, and were quite surprised.
Just then, the words spoken by the Sage of Langya were heard.
"The Sage of Langya actually..." Lin Yun looked incredulous.
They were mortal enemies of the Sage of Langya. The Sage of Langya had previously wished to kill them all. Although the Sage of Zhenwu had just explained some things to the Sage of Langya, the Sage of Langya seemed not to believe him and even said many things to slander the Sage of Zhenwu and the Dao Ancestor Li Er.
In the blink of an eye, the Sage of Langya went to defend them against the three Saint-level ghost cultivators.
The Sage of Langya didn't seem like the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.
Such a rapid style change is too drastic.
"Langya..." Zhenwu Saint King felt a pain in his heart and cried out softly.
In fact, he had vaguely understood that the Sage of Langya had listened to him, but the Sage of Langya's subsequent harsh words still made him very angry and resentful towards the Sage of Langya.
At that moment, all his anger vanished, and he instantly accepted the reaction of the Sage of Langya.
The Sage of Langya was not unaware that he had made a mistake, nor was he without regret. However, everything was irreversible, and his personality prevented him from admitting his mistakes. Ultimately, he chose this method to apologize.
I act with integrity in Langya, owing nothing to anyone...
He was using his life to make up for the mistakes he had made.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint Monarch moved forward quickly. Because of Langya Saint Monarch's obstruction, they were now quite far away from the three Saint Monarch-level ghost cultivators. In addition, the fluctuations of their travel were not significant. By the time the three Saint Monarch-level ghost cultivators finished their battle, they might not be able to sense their location again.
In an instant, their chances of survival increased dramatically.
A moment later, Lin Yun could no longer sense the aura of the three Saint King Ghost Cultivators. Lin Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that they had now broken free from the lock-on of the three Saint King Ghost Cultivators.
Therefore, it shouldn't be so easy for those three Saint-level ghost cultivators to find them again.
