Chapter 178 – The Lord cannot muster any enthusiasm

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"Don't worry, the Sect Master is just mentally exhausted and fainted. There are no fatal injuries on his body!"

At the headquarters of the annihilated sect, a large number of rays of light fell from the sky, and black clouds mixed with blood swept around.

The Great Elder carried Wu Wang and hurried forward. Lin Qi took a big step and jumped over the arched bridge, already pushing open the gate of the cave, and along the way, he carried away two screens.

The place was bustling and unusually crowded.

Hundreds of people quickly filled Wu Wang's cave. Those with lower cultivation levels could only squeeze in the back, while those with higher cultivation levels could occupy a place next to the Sect Master's bed.

After careful investigation, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, please leave. The Sect Master has safely passed the Heavenly Tribulation."

The demonic cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't intend to leave. They looked at the Great Elder one by one.

In their eyes, there was anticipation, excitement, and a sense of explosive pleasure.

A senior elder of the Black Desire Sect trembled and asked, "Great Elder, did our Sect Master really pass the Immortal Tribulation?"

"Of course," the Great Elder said slowly, "we all saw it with our own eyes. The Heavenly Palace was shameless and tried to enhance the power of the Tribulation multiple times, intending to kill our Sect Master when he was ascending to immortality.

Our Sect Master, his talent has incurred the jealousy of the heavens!"

The Great Elder suddenly became a little speechless and turned his head to look at Wu Wang's face. He shouted loudly:

"Handsome and extraordinary, with extraordinary martial prowess, he resisted the super-level Heavenly Tribulation brought down by the Heavenly Palace with his own strength. What is this? This is a slap in the face to the Heavenly Palace!

The more the Heavenly Palace envies our Sect Master, the more the Human Realm needs his support.

I am fortunate to be able to follow behind such a Sect Master!"

The gazes and expressions of the demonic cultivators were filled with excitement.

Someone suddenly asked, "Is the Sect Master the rumored Little Golden Dragon?"

"We all saw it. The Sect Master transformed into a golden dragon and slapped the dragon of the Tribulation to pieces!"

"The Sect Master is the next Emperor, right, Great Elder?"

"Well, um..."

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "This matter cannot be publicized. I will also go to contact the Ren Emperor Pavilion and try to block the news as much as possible."

"Do we need to block the news?"

Lin Qi asked softly, "Many people saw it just now. I'm afraid that within a radius of a thousand miles, more than ten sects have seen it. There must have been many transmission jade talismans sent out.

I think it's unnecessary to block the news. Let them discuss it, let them talk.

If my master wants to become the Emperor, who can stop him?"

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the demonic cultivators.

They almost forgot about the profound background of this Lin Protector.

Miao Cui chuckled, "There's no need to think about blocking the news. This time, the transformation of the Golden Dragon corresponds to the ongoing rumors about the Heavenly Maiden of Tian Yan. The title of our Sect Master as the successor to the Emperor is already established."

"Can this be fake?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Don't mention the hundred-year Heavenly Immortal. The strength displayed by our Sect Master before, wasn't that enough to crush a Heavenly Immortal with a single claw?"

"The Sect Master is invincible!"

Yang Wudi trembled all over and wailed, "Don't say that! I don't have any thoughts of becoming the Sect Master of the annihilated sect after the Sect Master becomes the Emperor! This is not..."

The surrounding gazes turned towards him.

Yang Wudi blinked his eyes, as if he had just misunderstood something.

The Great Elder said calmly, "Take him out, hang him up, and beat him for three days and three nights."

"Yes!"

Several elders agreed loudly, and before Yang Wudi could speak, he was knocked unconscious by a treasure and dragged out.

"Alright, alright!"

Miao Cui held her arms and said coldly, "What are you all doing here? Even if the Sect Master can wake up, he wouldn't dare to wake up at this moment.

Go find a place to drink, activate the Mountain Protection Formation, and send people to closely monitor all movements. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately.

Elder Mao, immediately inform the Ren Emperor Pavilion about this matter, and ask the high-level experts of the pavilion to arrange for them to wait nearby.

The Heavenly Palace wants to kill our Sect Master, we must do our best to protect him."

The demonic cultivators each agreed and left this place with excitement, leaving only those close to Wu Wang to take care of him.

In various places of the annihilated sect, it would probably be lively for several months.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

Lin Suqing busied herself, heating towels and carefully cleaning the remaining blood stains on Wu Wang's body.

Ling Xiaolan and Lin Qi stood quietly beside the bed, looking at Wu Wang with different eyes...

Of course, their gazes were different.

In Lin Qi's eyes, there was admiration and at this moment, his heart was restless, always thinking of the scene where Wu Wang leaped up and faced the thunderous lightning, transforming into a golden dragon.

In Ling Xiaolan's eyes, there was always a hint of loss. Looking at the storage treasure in her hand, the image inside had almost been worn out, and she suddenly felt...

It wasn't as exciting anymore.

"The questions you just asked were really difficult."

Beside the bed, Mu Daxian's little head drooped, and he whispered in admiration.

Lin Suqing's eyes were a little red, but she was filled with joy at the moment. She whispered, "I was so scared just now. I thought he... Pah, pah, pah, he'll be fine."

Mu Daxian laughed, "Suqing, you looked so ugly when you were crying just now!"

"Don't mention it!""Hehehe, crybaby, covering your nose and mouth~"

"Ah! Watch me shut your mouth today!"

Lin Suqing stomped her feet and chased after Mu Daxian, playing around inside and outside the cave. In the process, she also made room for Wu Wang, giving it to...

Lin Qi, who had the same surname.

In fact, Ling Xiaolan took a step forward at the same time as Lin Qi, but Ling Xiaolan went through the process of taking a cushion and identifying the clean area beside the bed, while Lin Qi just sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Teacher, today the disciple finally realized how much strength you had hidden... You have worked hard for the Human Realm."

Wu Wang, who seemed to be sleeping, trembled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

He turned over slightly, murmuring like a dream: "Let me sleep for a while, transforming consumes too much energy."

"Yes, disciple obeys!"

Lin Qi got up and bowed: "Disciple will go cultivate now. When the teacher wakes up, the disciple will come to celebrate for the teacher."

Wu Wang's palm swayed slightly on his shoulder.

Lin Qi looked satisfied and quickly left the cave.

Wu Wang spoke again: "Fairy, let me rest for a while."

"Okay," Ling Xiaolan nodded gently, and then brought a folding screen to block beside Wu Wang's bed before leaving slowly.

Finally, it became quiet here.

Wu Wang let out a sigh of relief and lay there without moving for a long time.

After a while, he allowed himself to lie flat and opened his eyes, looking at the stone wall adorned with night pearls, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

"Ah, this Heavenly Palace that treats people so badly, always trying to kill me whenever it gets the chance."

"I will take revenge! This grudge will be settled!"

"Those innate gods who caused trouble today, I will make you understand the true meaning of cruelty!"

Although it was useless to speak harshly, it did make him feel a lot better.

At this moment, Wu Wang had only one word in his mind - tired.

The most annoying thing about the Heavenly Palace's tribulation was that it forcibly brought out his inner demons, opening up the sealed memories in his heart, as if reliving that period of time and experiencing the unbearable loneliness again.

Fortunately, this time he knew that he would ultimately survive, but he felt that this memory was somewhat difficult to endure.

Not wanting to move, it was boring.

Feeling inexplicably powerless, a sense of desolation surged up.

Wu Wang also knew that he was just immersed in such a state of mind, the tense string had completely snapped, and he couldn't muster any energy.

Before, it took him more than ten years to encourage himself from birth, using the beautiful figure of the girls in the clan to make himself as lively as possible.

The reason why his grandmother always played and joked with him before she passed away was actually because his childhood self was too gloomy.

[Sigh, I have to find a way to take revenge on the Heavenly Palace.]

At this moment, Wu Wang couldn't stir up any waves in his heart, as if he had entered a deep "sage moment".

His mentality had always been like this before.

Since recovering his consciousness from his previous life, Wu Wang had been a bit lacking in motivation.

Apart from those beautiful girls he had never seen in his previous life, he always felt that all the gods and immortals were... nothing special.

Fortunately, he finally learned that the wormhole had collapsed and did not affect his home planet.

Although he didn't know what effect his sacrifice had, he had done what he could.

"Are you feeling better?"

Suddenly, the gentle voice of the old senior came from beside his ear.

Wu Wang opened his eyes and saw the old face filling his vision.

Shen Nong showed a gentle smile, squinting his eyes as he looked at Wu Wang, and said slowly, "Not bad, under the intervention of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan in the Heavenly Palace's tribulation, you managed to hold on."

"Deputy Deity of Lifespan?"

Wu Wang immediately sat up, staring at Shen Nong and said, "Was it the Deputy Deity of Lifespan who attacked me?"

"You have long been on the list of those to be killed in the Heavenly Palace."

Shen Nong brought over a wooden chair and calmly sat down, holding a wooden whip in his hand that turned into a long staff in the immortal light.

The red whip was a treasure used by Shen Nong to identify various herbs, and it was also the weapon he used to defend himself.

Shen Nong smiled and said, "Just following the path of the Heavenly Tribulation, causing a commotion in the Heavenly Palace, smashing their Thunder Pool... You have made a contribution this time. If it weren't for the Deputy Deity of Lifespan intensifying the Heavenly Tribulation and shaking the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation, causing loopholes in the order of the Heavenly Palace, I wouldn't be able to go to the Heavenly Palace and have some fun with them."

Wu Wang yawned and muttered, "I thought that you, senior, came here so eagerly to cut off the head of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan in front of me. I didn't expect that you just went there and smashed a Thunder Pool."

"Hmph!"

Shen Nong scolded with a glare, "Is the Heavenly Palace so easy to enter? That's equivalent to having to defeat Emperor Di Shun first, destroy the order rules built around Emperor Di Shun, before you can step into the Heavenly Palace!"

Wu Wang raised his thumbs with both hands and forced a stiff smile.

Shen Nong waved his hand and sighed, "You brat, always provoking me... Come, let's have a drink!"

"Elder! Elder! Let's talk nicely!"

Wu Wang rushed forward and hugged Shen Nong's arm.

"Forget about your wine! It really makes me uncomfortable to drink too much!""I just came back from the North Wilderness. Let's get some fine wine from there. I have an invitation from my clan!"

"What do you mean by an invitation?"

"It's for internal use," Wu Wang smiled. "Even the chiefs of ordinary clans can't drink it."

Shen Nong immediately became interested and urged Wu Wang to bring out a few barrels.

Lin Suqing immediately stepped forward to pour the wine. Mu Da Xian hid in the inner cave, leaning against the cave wall, and secretly glanced at Emperor Di Shun, his face filled with respect.

Emperor Di Shun's prestige in the Human Realm has always been good.

Shen Nong took out two wine flasks, and Wu Wang took two pieces of dried meat. They ate and chatted, getting along well like father and son.

"I came here this time to ask you if your inner demons have been resolved."

Emperor Di Shun's eyes showed some concern.

"They used methods to test you that even I didn't expect. I didn't leave any precautions for this matter before."

"It's a small matter."

Wu Wang lifted the wine flask and drank it all in one go. His gaze became somewhat dazed, and he sighed, "It's just that this time it may have hurt my mental state. I won't be able to help you with your worries in the future. It seems you'll have to find another solution."

"Did it really hurt you?"

"It feels like I've returned to the time when I couldn't get out of the North Wilderness. I can't muster the motivation anymore."

Wu Wang sighed and slowly leaned on the table, resting his forehead on the tabletop, muttering, "Senior, why do people live?"

Shen Nong said, "It is to face life better and help others live better together."

"Don't you think this is empty?"

Shen Nong silently took out two jade talismans, and a little light flew out from them, condensing into the figure of Jing Wei walking on the beach.

Wu Wang tilted his head and looked for a while, his eyes filled with comfort.

He was engrossed in watching, but Shen Nong put away the jade talismans.

"Hey! What are you doing, Senior?"

Shen Nong laughed, "It's all emptiness."

Dang dang, Wu Wang once again leaned on the table and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth. "I really can't muster the motivation now."

The old senior said, "Then think about reaching the Transcendent Realm, and the strange illness will be gone."

Wu Wang sighed, "The Transcendent Realm is still far away. I just became an immortal..."

"Then think about what you said in your letter. Won't you go and thwart the Heavenly Palace's plot to bring down seven disasters and six calamities?"

"I wrote all the advice I could give in the jade talisman and had Xiao Jian deliver it to you..."

"Then, shall we go catch the little Qiong Qi?"

"You just caused a commotion in the Heavenly Palace. If you go out, you will definitely be surrounded by the Heavenly Palace. Emperor Di Shun might even be angered..."

The old senior Shen Nong remained calm and smiled, grabbing a piece of dried meat and taking a bite.

Hmm? The taste was surprisingly good.

When Lin Suqing brought a table full of dishes, the old senior Shen Nong set up a barrier, completely isolating him and Wu Wang.

"What about the matter from last time?"

Shen Nong leaned forward slightly, whispering, "Kid, did you really kill the Star God?"

"You're saying it like that, Senior," Wu Wang's face was full of disdain. "That was a straightforward calculation. Can it be called killing?"

"Hahaha!"

Shen Nong couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You really did it? Tell me quickly. I only helped you burn a strand of her remnant soul, but I didn't see the collapse of the Great Dao of Stars. I was wondering about it."

Wu Wang carefully considered it. He couldn't hide this matter from the old senior Shen Nong, after all, the old senior had saved him at that time.

He explained in detail about his new understanding of the Stellar Dao, his encounter with the Star God, and how they mutually deceived each other, leading the Star God back into his own body.

Of course, Wu Wang concealed the fact that he had gained control of the Star God's body, only saying that the Great Dao of Stars was now completely under the control of his mother.

- To prevent the old senior from having any inappropriate thoughts about him.

"Not bad, not bad."

Shen Nong squinted and smiled, not knowing what he was thinking, and his mood suddenly became cheerful.

"At this moment, the Heavenly Palace still doesn't know how dangerous the situation is. They still think they can swallow the Human Realm in one bite."

"Tell me, do you think the Human Realm can hold on?"

Emperor Di Shun personally came, so it can hold on."

Wu Wang asked again, "Did the power that defeated the ancient Fire God by Sui Ren Shi come from the Candling Dragon God lineage?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Shen Nong's eyes, and he smiled.

"These two questions seem unrelated, but they have touched upon the greatest secret of the Human Realm. However, because it's you, it's fine for me to tell you."

Wu Wang quickly sat up straight and listened attentively as Shen Nong slowly explained.

"The power of Sui Ren Shi does not come from the gods, but from oneself, from living beings. Back then, the Human Realm was not only inhabited by humans. There were also many oppressed living beings from the Great Wasteland who followed Sui Ren Shi.

Unfortunately, Emperor Sui Ren couldn't withstand the counterattack of the innate divine rules and perished just before his success."

Shen Nong sighed deeply, lifted the wine flask, and slowly put it down again.

He said, "Replacing the gods with living beings to establish a new order is the inevitable trend of the Great Wasteland's development. Unless something like what the Candling Dragon wanted to do in ancient times happens, where the entire world is overturned and rebuilt.""This is not just the destruction of order, but a return to chaos, waiting once again for the division of heaven and earth."

"That ruthless?"

Wu Wang pondered for a moment, "If you say you can handle the full-scale attack of the Heavenly Palace, then I won't worry too much about it."

"There are still some hidden worries."

Shen Nong said solemnly:

"Like today, the Heavenly Palace forcibly attacked you. Excluding my revenge, the price they paid is not significant.

This is our most passive aspect.

It's also the goal I want to achieve with my remaining lifespan."

"Um, elder, keep going."

Wu Wang, lost in thought, laughed:

"It's normal for both sides to not leave a way out for each other in a fight... but I never thought that the mighty Deputy Deity of Lifespan would attack me, a mere Ascending to Immortality.

I thought my mother's identity had been exposed.

I wonder if the Deputy Deity of Lifespan would directly use the Lifespan Dao on me."

"He wouldn't dare," Shen Nong said slowly, "In order to suppress the lifespan of all humans, he himself has suffered a backlash from the Dao. Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about the Junior Deity of Lifespan.

She can decide at will whether you can have offspring."

Wu Wang:……

These gods are really domineering and unreasonable.

"Afraid of her?"

Wu Wang snorted: "Let's talk about the Candling Dragon god system, is their return good or bad?"

"Returning is inevitable, for the Human Realm, it is both an opportunity and a crisis."

Shen Nong sighed: "If they can return early, it's a good thing. I can handle it. If they return after my lifespan is exhausted, and harvest the mental power of the beings in the Human Realm, extinguishing the flame of the Human Realm, that would be the worst plan."

"Harvest mental power?"

"Yes, their days outside the sky are not easy," Shen Nong smiled and asked, "What do you think is the essence of divine power?"

Wu Wang pondered: "The power of Dao?"

"No, it's the power of consciousness."

Shen Nong stopped there, not saying more, and clinked glasses with Wu Wang.

"Keep cultivating, your journey is still long. If you want to take revenge on the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, you need enough strength and enough power. What you lack now is just time."

Wu Wang spread his hands and slowly fell back onto the bed.

Ah, I want to be a salted fish.

Seeing Wu Wang's dejected look, Shen Nong frowned in thought.

The Emperor of Mankind clearly felt that Wu Wang's mood had inexplicably returned to that of the young master of the Bear Hug Clan he had observed in the North Wilderness.

Although Shen Nong was somewhat unclear, he knew that there must be a problem with the heart demon.

Eh, it seems that something was accidentally revealed...

That's not important.

How to motivate this young man in front of him? This is quite important for the Human Realm.

Shen Nong pondered for a moment, and already had an idea or two.
