501: People with different ideals cannot work together
Lin Zhao's eyes surged with murderous intent, like a black hole, seemingly capable of tearing everything apart.
Not to mention he was once an Immortal Emperor and is now a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, even an Immortal King could not tolerate such humiliation.
Lin Zhao truly wanted to strike and kill Mo Wantang, that ant, to seize the Primordial Origin.
However, upon recalling Gu Qing's Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, the murderous intent in Lin Zhao's heart receded like a tide.
The Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow was too terrifying; it was invincible to anyone below an Immortal Emperor.
Below the Immortal Emperor realm, anyone who faced the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow would only find death, everything would cease, and their soul would be annihilated.
With this thought, Lin Zhao snorted coldly, his gaze disdainful, and he sneered, "I never expected the esteemed Moonflower Sword Immortal to be so envious of talent and narrow-minded."
By now, Lin Zhao finally understood that he had been too hasty, arousing Mo Wantang's suspicion.
The so-called 'carrying night soil' was merely a further test.
"Not going? Then you may leave," Mo Wantang said, her expression unchanged.
Such provocation held no meaning for her.
Lin Zhao's heart sank, feeling extremely troubled.
If he went, it would confirm his malicious intentions in coming to the Boundless Divine Sect; if he didn't, how could he join the Boundless Divine Sect?
This ant truly seeks death... Lin Zhao secretly fumed.
On the surface, he took a deep breath and said coldly, "I, Lin Zhao, was born to achieve transcendence through the Dao. Wherever the Dao is, there I shall be!"
With that, he turned and left without hesitation.
"Wherever the Dao is, there I shall be..." Mo Wantang murmured, a profound artistic conception washing over her, stirring up distant memories.
For resources, she had risked life and limb, seeking only that sliver of opportunity for breakthrough, relentlessly pursuing the Grand Dao.
Shu Yue pursed her lips, not daring to speak.
She finally understood that Mo Wantang suspected Lin Zhao of having malicious intentions and was deliberately humiliating him.
If Lin Zhao hadn't said, "Wherever the Dao is, there I shall be," she would have been suspicious too.
After all, the dignity of an Immortal King must not be desecrated.
But now, perhaps Lin Zhao's devotion to the Dao was simply too strong, possessing a pure heart for seeking the Dao, ignorant of worldly affairs.
Shu Yue had always held immense respect for cultivators with a pure heart for seeking the Dao.
"Shu Yue, do you think what I did was too much?" Mo Wantang suddenly looked at her and asked calmly.
Shu Yue's expression changed.
She did feel that Mo Wantang was too insulting, but how could the Ancestor be wrong?
Even if the whole world was wrong, the Ancestor was not.
A thought flashed through her mind, and Shu Yue bowed respectfully, saying, "Ancestor's foresight is profound, every word and action is for the long-term consideration of the sect. However, this disciple is dull, and I ask Ancestor to enlighten me."
"Mm!" Mo Wantang was very satisfied with her answer. She truly was the junior she thought most highly of, possessing excellent talent and great wisdom.
Mo Wantang smiled and said, "Actually, whether he is wholeheartedly seeking the Dao or harboring malicious intentions, if his heart is not with the Boundless Divine Sect, then the Boundless Divine Sect cannot tolerate him."
"As the saying goes, 'those whose paths differ cannot plan together.' The moment he stated he came here to seek the Dao, he already became our enemy. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Yue's admiration for Lin Zhao instantly vanished without a trace.
Indeed, no matter how good Lin Zhao's talent was, what did it have to do with them?
Surely, just because Lin Zhao possessed the potential of an Immortal Emperor, he couldn't enjoy all the resources of the Boundless Divine Sect, could he?
That was impossible.
Lin Zhao didn't want to serve the Boundless Divine Sect, yet he wanted to obtain its resources, and even dominate the entire Boundless Divine Sect. Where in this world was there such a good deal?
The Boundless Divine Sect belonged to Gu Qing, it was their home, their place of refuge.
Anyone who wished to dominate their home was their common enemy.
"He is not as sincere as he appears. Go and keep an eye on him. Report any unusual movements to me immediately."
Mo Wantang did not believe that Lin Zhao was a person who sought nothing beyond the Dao.
Lin Zhao's murderous intent was too terrifying; he must have committed countless killings to possess such dreadful killing intent.
Furthermore, there was no Immortal King named Lin Zhao in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Lin Zhao's origins were unknown, and his desire to join the Boundless Divine Sect surely had an ulterior motive.
He was probably after Gu Qing.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Shu Yue accepted this arduous task with a serious expression, showing no intention of declining, because only she was most suitable.
Leaving the palace, Shu Yue quickly caught up with Lin Zhao.
"Senior, you've taken the wrong path. Please follow me."
"..."
So, all his words just now were for nothing.
These two ants wouldn't really make him, an Immortal Emperor, go carry night soil, would they?
Lin Zhao's face was extremely grim. He endured again and again, barely suppressing the urge to slap Shu Yue to death.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, Senior, but my master will soon emerge from seclusion. At that time, this junior will certainly explain the situation to her."
As they flew through the air, Shu Yue spoke softly, her expression apologetic.
"Mm!" Lin Zhao's expression brightened somewhat, his eyes flickering as numerous calculations flashed through his mind.
It seemed Shu Yue and Mo Wantang were not of one mind. If he could exploit Shu Yue's guilt and win her over, the subsequent matters would be much easier.
Just as he was about to speak, Shu Yue continued.
"Senior, these ten thousand acres of immortal fields are entrusted to you."
Shu Yue's jade hand swept through the air, and a boundless sea of flowers was divided into ten thousand acres of immortal fields.
Then, her jade hand flipped, and a jade slip appeared in her palm, glowing with light.
"This is the method for cultivating Blazing Sun Flowers. Senior must fertilize them daily, and in appropriate amounts; too much or too little, and the Blazing Sun Flowers will wither. Senior must constantly observe their growth..."
"..."
So, your apology is to make me continue carrying night soil?
Couldn't you use your authority to have someone else do it for him?
Lin Zhao's face darkened at a visible pace.
"Senior, Moonflower Ancestor specifically instructed that she will conduct regular inspections. Please do not make things difficult for this junior."
"..."
Lin Zhao's chest swelled with unvented rage.
He looked at the immortal fields, anger burning in his eyes.
He, Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor, was he truly destined to carry night soil today?
What a great humiliation.
While fertilizing immortal fields with manure wasn't particularly harmful, it was extremely insulting.
Lin Zhao had experienced countless life-and-death battles, escaped death numerous times, schemed against the world, schemed against Immortal Emperors—what grand scene had he not witnessed?
Yet today, he was to be thwarted by two ants. It was also his fault for being too presumptuous, assuming all sects in the world were the same, treating Immortal Kings as revered figures, which led to this great misfortune.
"Senior, I apologize for the inconvenience! Senior, with your single-minded pursuit of the Dao, you surely wouldn't mind these trivial matters, would you?" Shu Yue said gently.
Good! Good! Good! Good!
Lin Zhao silently went to collect beast dung.
For the sake of the supreme Grand Dao, he could disregard even life and death. A mere humiliation was nothing.
When he achieved the Dao, all these ants would die.
The most important thing now was how to meet the greedy and lustful Gu Qing.
Gu Qing, who was constantly on Lin Zhao's mind, was very proper at this moment, waving his hand at four stunningly beautiful women, each with her own unique charm.
His heart was calm, and he said serenely, "Go, go, cultivate well. Do not disturb this old man as he refines the Starry Sky Flying Boat."
"This old man? Giggles!"
Looking at the pretentious Gu Qing, the four women covered their mouths and giggled, their laughter soft and melodious.
Their beautiful eyes, like autumn waters, brimmed with seductive charm.
The four women walked up to Gu Qing, their jade hands gently caressing his handsome face, their eyes filled with deep affection.
Their fervent gazes seemed to want to melt him into their bodies.
"Young Master is the best gift heaven has given us sisters," Hong Lan murmured, gently placing a kiss, then gracefully departing.
"Young Master! We're leaving. If you need anything, please come find us."
"Mm, go, go!"
"Tsk, Young Master is truly heartless."
"Smack!"
After a kiss, the three women departed like startled swans, riding colorful clouds, resembling flying celestial maidens.
"Phew!"
These little vixen finally left... Gu Qing let out a long breath, took out the world stone, and began refining with incredibly fast hands... Thank you, esteemed benefactors, for your rewards.
Please, esteemed sirs, move your lucky little hands and click for more updates!
