Chapter 1001: Chapter 310: Killing Game 5
The Lingbao Dao Venerate spoke.
Looking at the Lingbao Dao Venerate, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s eyes showed some disdain.
“By the way, you should also make an effort. After so many years, your strength hasn’t improved at all. Have you really given up? Don’t you want to achieve that thing?”
The Lingbao Dao Venerate gave a bitter smile. He shook his head and said with a face full of depression, “I really want to achieve that thing, but I found that I don’t have the strength and skill, so I gave up. Let Elder Lord and you handle it.”
There was some dissatisfaction in Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s expression.
He is a person who strives for strength, yet he did not expect the Lingbao Dao Venerate to say such words.
Judging by his appearance, it is clear that he does not intend to strive and instead relies on Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate and Lord Taishang to achieve their goal.
No wonder his strength hasn’t improved at all over the years.
He simply doesn’t believe he can succeed, naturally lacking the mindset to enhance his abilities.
Once the mindset is gone, wanting to raise one’s strength is an impossible thing.
Taking a deep look at the Lingbao Dao Venerate, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate sighed in his heart.
It seems that the Lingbao Dao Venerate has truly given up.
Now, the only ones persisting are probably only him and the Elder Lord.
Perhaps the Supreme Ancestral Demon is one too, but this guy appeared in the Three Realms like a fleeting flower, then disappeared suddenly, not knowing where Lord Taishang arranged him.
It should be arranged in a place they couldn’t imagine.
Thinking of this, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate suddenly felt a bit regretful.
If he had known at the beginning that he would come into conflict with Lord Taishang, he would have personally arranged the Supreme Ancestral Demon, perhaps securing a strong ally.
“The matter between you and Taishang, I will not meddle. I will visit you less in the future; I just want to be a quiet and handsome man.”
The Lingbao Dao Venerate sighed faintly.
“Get lost.”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s face turned black.
“Haha.”
The Lingbao Dao Venerate laughed heartily and turned to leave.
Gazing at the direction where the Lingbao Dao Venerate disappeared, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate seemed thoughtful.
Today, the Lingbao Dao Venerate seemed to have spoken more than usual,
His eyes flickered, uncertain about what he was thinking.
“It shouldn’t be.”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate muttered, but no one knew what he meant.
The place quieted down, with only Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate sitting cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance his strength.
Even wanting to improve a little is almost a luxury for Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate.
At their level of strength, it’s impossible to improve just by meditation.
However, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate has always been hard-working, without any slackness.
He works hard on his cultivation, striving to increase his strength.
Even if it takes a million years to improve just a little.
But in the long years, accumulating bit by bit, this slight improvement is a frightening amount.
In the cultivation world, it doesn’t matter if your aptitude isn’t good, but if you don’t work hard to cultivate, it’s worrying.
Those with poor aptitude can use the long years to hone and enhance themselves.
Immortals, most of all, have time.
The place was thoroughly engulfed in silence.
The Three Realms trembled among all beings.
Even mortals knew of the Heavenly Court’s decree.
Typical mortals actually don’t understand gods like the Three Pure Ones very well.
What they truly understand are the Local Deity, God of Stove, City God, Wealth God, and other Bodhisattva Buddha Ancestors of the Three Realms.
To them, worshipping any deity is the same, as long as it is efficacious and can protect them, that is the best.
So, whatever Heavenly Court honors only one Lord Taishang, it hardly affects them.
Some disciples of the Daoist Sect aspire to become Immortal Officials and work in the Heavenly Court, thus strictly adhering to the Heavenly Court’s commands.
Once the Heavenly Court issued such a proclamation, they immediately threw out the divine statues of Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate and Lingbao Dao Venerate from the temple.
Clearly, these Three Pure Ancestors, who couldn’t bring them a bright future, had no reason to stay.
When Lord Taishang sensed this, his nose almost went crooked with anger.
If not for his restraint, he would surely want to smack them all to death with a slap for their impudence.
Even the Heavenly Court hadn’t demanded so, yet they dared to do such things, truly thinking Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate wouldn’t perceive it.
Once this situation is spotted by Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate, he would definitely get angry, and it could only lead to trouble.
It only proves how well Lord Taishang understands Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate.
As soon as he thought that, something happened in those temples.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate took action, shattering several temples completely and rendering all the young Taoists within dead.
Lord Taishang discovered that these temples were essentially devoted to the Three Pure Ones.
Apparently, due to the Heavenly Court’s influence, these people moved Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s statue and tossed it out.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate was enraged, thus taking action and unleashing disaster.
This made Lord Taishang somewhat headache-ridden, feeling that this matter is getting increasingly out of hand.
Moreover, it brings no benefit to them.
Once the Heavenly Court is angered, a conflict with Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate is highly likely.
Thinking of this, Lord Taishang couldn’t help but complain that Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate is truly too impulsive and inconsiderate.
For the dignified Three Pure Ones to make a move against some mere mortals’ Taoists is simply too much.
