179: Today, I am a chess piece, I am a minion, I am the fish!

Above the Immortal Palace.

The Mirror Flower Water Moon of the celebration Cultivators was becoming fewer and fewer.

And that Grand True Person Seven Souls had long been understood by many Great True Persons, but upon looking at Shen Qian and seeing his calm expression, they knew that Qingchi Mountain had other plans.

Thus, they paid no further attention.

They simply continued to look at the other images.

Some Immortal Sect Immortal Masters, as the images dissipated one by one, rose and bowed to the Great True Persons above, then left dejectedly.

The Qi Refining Cultivator in his Sect had already died, so there was no point in watching further.

A Dao Foundation seed died just like that, truly worthless.

Years, or even longer, of painstaking cultivation, only to be easily killed by someone else.

The gap between Cultivators was simply like a chasm.

Alas.

It was just a pity, this was destined.

A Qi Refining Realm Cultivator, upon reaching Perfection, would inevitably seek heaven and earth treasure to forge his Dao Foundation. The higher the quality of the heaven and earth treasure, the more powerful the Divine Ability derived from it.

And powerful Divine Ability determined the starting point for combat or cultivation in the Dao Foundation Realm.

Everyone diligently cultivated in the Qi Refining Realm, bowing their heads to Cultivators from other Immortal Sects and Immortal Clans, but upon reaching the Dao Foundation Realm, they did not wish to be suppressed again.

Therefore, they fought with their lives on the line.

Men die for wealth, birds die for food; it has been so since ancient times.

It was just a pity that not many people could emerge victorious.

Luck ultimately did not favor them.

And dying in the celebration, no matter how they died, no one else could be blamed.

The blame lay in one's own weak combat strength.

Beyond that, nothing else could be said.

The Mirror Flower Water Moon began to dissipate one after another, replaced by more than a dozen large split screens.

Among them, five were clustered in the center, and on these five images were many Cultivators, either fighting, searching for treasures, or resting and recuperating.

Even more so… standing side by side… competing to see who could pee higher.

This image was truly unseemly, but it attracted the attention of many Great True Persons, who frequently glanced at it.

The Qingchi Mountain robe on the instigator gleamed, particularly conspicuous in the image.

Then, Grand Master Shenqian coughed, wanting to block some of Princess Li Long's gaze.

But he was stopped by a wave of her hand.

"I'm not a child anymore, there's nothing that can or cannot be seen."

Though she said so, Princess Li Long's earlobes suddenly became much redder.

Seeing this, Shen Qian coughed repeatedly, then applied a blurry mosaic to the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Princess Li Long seemed to be still unsatisfied and said.

"Great True Person, our Qingchi Mountain truly has simple folk! I see the person leading the charge is from the mountain."

"Could it be that, like Shen Li, he is also an upright good person?"

Grand Master Shenqian looked at Immortal Sen Yan, who had an embarrassed expression.

Immortal Sen Yan was originally embarrassed and holding back a laugh, but when he looked up and saw Shen Qian's fierce gaze, he quickly composed his expression.

He then glanced to the other side.

Who else could be the instigator?

Of course, it was Wang Teng, Young Master Wang.

Seeing that Shen Qian had no choice, he could only say helplessly.

"Princess, this precisely demonstrates the simple folk of my Qingchi Mountain... even Cultivators have the heart of a child!"

"Pfft."

Then, the drunken middle-aged Great True Person of Jiaoyang Immortal Sect, with sleepy eyes, pointed at the sparrow in Pride Sun Heaven and burst out laughing.

"This brat, usually so arrogant and conceited, never thought... that thing of his is born so delicate, not like a man!"

"I guess if the girls in the Sect saw it, they would probably be very disappointed!"

The beautiful woman from Beast Taming Immortal Sect licked her lips.

She had long reached an age where she was not picky, and she played with a Yao Beast with her fingers, saying casually.

"It's fine, if your Immortal Sect girls don't want him, you can give this brat to me... I quite like him."

"He's so pink and tender, quite cute."

"Cough cough, alright, everyone. Let's not talk about these things...."

Before he finished speaking, the Cloud Sea Sword Sect Great True Person sneered and said.

"It's truly scandalous. The Princess is here to observe, yet such scandalous things are being done. Do you still have the Face to laugh?"

"As expected, barbarians who can't make it to the main stage... they don't even have any upbringing or manners."

Upon hearing such ridicule, Grand Master Shenqian raised an eyebrow and looked strangely at the Yunhai Great True Person who spoke without thinking.

If you only curse Qingchi Mountain, then fine, but Qingchi Mountain wasn't the only one doing this.

As expected of Cloud Sea Sword Sect, incredibly brainless.

He rolled his eyes and sighed, saying.

"Fellow Daoist is right, these juniors... indeed lack some upbringing."

They say women are narrow-minded, and even a Purple Mansion Great True Person is no exception.

That female Great True Person said coldly.

"Old man, just mind your own people. Your hands are quite long. What, are you too old and useless, so you're jealous of these young people?"

The Yunhai Great True Person, insulted like this and seeing Shen Qian's amused expression, naturally knew he had said the wrong thing.

But Sword Cultivators... those who know, know. They'd rather die for Face than live in shame.

He didn't explain, but said stiffly.

"No upbringing is no upbringing. You, woman, are the same. You reek of Spirit Beast feces all over, unfit for polite company."

"You're very brave, aren't you?" The drunken Great True Person seemed to sober up, pressing his hands on the table.

"A brute." The Yunhai Great True Person remained very principled.

Then, the three Great True Persons chuckled and said in unison.

"Fellow Daoist, after the celebration, shall we find a place to spar?"

"I think it's good. Fellow Daoist Feihuang is truly arrogant, so his combat skills must be good."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Feihuang is at the Purple Mansion Middle Stage, dealing with little ants like us, who are at the Purple Mansion Early Stage, is it not a piece of cake?" Shen Qian continued to fan the flames.

"Try it and you'll die!"

The chaotic conversation was not heard by the Immortal Masters. Seeing this, Princess Li Long waved her hand.

Pointing at Shen Li's charging image, she said.

"Talk is talk, mischief is mischief, but this Disciple from Qingchi Mountain's killing intent is already no less than that of Immortal Master of Seven Souls who fell into a Heart Demon back then."

"Great True Person needs to take heed."

"Fallen Cultivators... are like bone-deep sores, one must guard against them. Yin Nether Sect is a lesson from the past... my clan brother also..."

Then, Shen Qian spoke.

"Princess, rest assured, the mountain has its own judgment. This junior will get better."

The Yunhai Great True Person, with a sinister look in his eyes, asked.

"What if he doesn't get better? Does your Qingchi Mountain also want to be like Yin Nether Sect, raising another 'Calamity Heart Demon' to bewitch the imperial family?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Li Long's aura suddenly sank, as if she recalled some unmentionable past.

Having been disgusted for no reason, Shen Qian casually glanced at the Yunhai Great True Person and said indifferently.

"If this junior cannot turn back from his misguided path and continues to make mistakes."

"Even if he leaves the celebration alive, I will personally kill him!"

The Yunhai Great True Person laughed loudly.

"Using fallen Cultivators as pawns to kill wantonly in the Yin Domain, providing assistance to your Yang Domain Immortal Masters!"

"After using them, discarding them like worn-out shoes."

"Who can compare to your Qingchi Mountain in making the most of things?"

"What a Righteous Path Sect."

"Within one Sect, it's hard to find a few Karma Cultivators!"

"Beneath the Locked Crazed Den, there are madmen and fanatics everywhere!"
