"White Lotus, what teachings did the two Ancestor Masters from Leiyin Temple impart to you?"
Even the Creation Taoist inquired.
White Lotus, who had just been very forthcoming, now clasped his hands together and smiled without speaking. Everyone knew he had gained much from those two Great Powers and was unwilling to share.
The Creation Taoist didn’t take offense. Instead, he smiled and said, "This is White Lotus’s opportunity. We are one step closer to Hongng Purple Qi."
His deanor was so magnanimous, but the expressions of the others were not the sa.
Zheng Fa observed coldly from the side, vividly noting their expressions.
Even the Golden Winged Great Peng, who had co with White Lotus, had a peculiar expression, seemingly a bit envious and jealous.
Gu God and White Bone Demon Ancestor had deep apprehension on their faces, deeper even than before with Zheng Fa—no matter what, Zheng Fa’s displayed strength was far inferior to White Lotus. Gu God could manipulate Zheng Fa through his Gu insects but had no confidence in controlling White Lotus.
The only ones possibly happier than the Creation Taoist were the Divinity Transformation ones from the Lu Clan.
For them, the best outco would naturally be obtaining the Hongng Purple Qi, but they also realized a harsh reality—their cultivation, comprehension, and opportunities were insufficient to surpass others, making their chances of obtaining the Hongng Purple Qi very slim.
Thus, their next hope was that if they couldn’t obtain the Hongng Purple Qi, soone else shouldn’t either, lest Haori Mountain be beyond rescue.
Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, and after exchanging a few words, they dispersed.
Zheng Fa, Gu God, and White Bone continued following Ming Yue to the small courtyard. Surprisingly, halfway through, Gu God suddenly said, "Stone Daoist, you’ve been here for quite a while, and I haven’t had the chance to properly discuss Dao with you. It’s truly regrettable. I wonder if there’s an opportunity today?"
Turning his head, he saw the White Bone Demon Ancestor also nodding, seemingly eager to make his acquaintance.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, and the three of them proceeded to Zheng Fa’s temporary residence in the small courtyard.
After Ming Yue left, Zheng Fa sat in the main room, looking at the two before him, still puzzled about their eagerness to find him.
Gu God and White Bone Demon Ancestor exchanged a glance, and Gu God began:
"Stone Daoist, what do you think of White Lotus’s opportunity?"
Zheng Fa paused for a mont and expressed his genuine feelings, "Envy."
"Stone Daoist, you must realize that if things continue this way, none of us can obtain the Hongng Purple Qi, especially you."
This was indeed the truth. After so long, this group had beco sowhat familiar with ancient languages, diminishing Zheng Fa’s unique advantage.
Moreover, his cultivation disadvantage was blatantly obvious.
Besides, White Lotus had the rit Golden Wheel and the assistance of two Saints.
Uncertain of their intentions, Zheng Fa vaguely replied, "None of us are assured to obtain the Hongng Purple Qi; White Lotus having this opportunity is a good thing."
Gu God and White Bone Demon Ancestor sneered, seemingly seeing through his facade: "I, however, am unwilling for him to get it."
Zheng Fa was even more baffled.
"The Lu Clan people are incompetent..." Gu God looked at Zheng Fa, sharing his thoughts, "Only I, the White Bone friend, and you, Stone Daoist, have so hope."
"So Daoist intends to..."
"It’s best if one among us three obtains the Hongng Purple Qi."
Hearing this, Zheng Fa finally understood Gu God’s intentions.
They didn’t want White Lotus to get the Hongng Purple Qi. Now that White Lotus had the rit Golden Wheel and the support of Ancestor Masters, they beca anxious.
White Lotus was powerful, had many Magical Treasures, and had the backing of Leiyin Temple and was Lu Yao’s personal disciple, making him formidable.
Zheng Fa, on the other hand, in Gu God’s view, with the Hongng Purple Qi, was equivalent to it being in her hands.
As for the White Bone Demon Ancestor, he seed to always follow Gu God’s lead.
"The Ancestor Masters still have hope, but as for ..." Zheng Fa gave a bitter smile, seemingly truly despondent, "I only wish for the Ancestor Masters to smoothly acquire the Supre Treasure."
"Otherwise, this Secret Realm doesn’t value cultivation as much, and virtues, comprehension, and perseverance are not greatly related to cultivation. Moreover, you heard the full First Lecture." Gu God rebutted, "You have a significant advantage over others... except White Lotus."
Zheng Fa suddenly realized: "White Lotus’s two Ancestor Masters were teaching him the contents of the First Lecture?"
"My child didn’t hear it fully, but it’s very likely." Gu God nodded lightly, "Therefore, the First Lecture’s content might be important."
No wonder these two eagerly sought him out—they wanted to know what the First Lecture entailed.
As Zheng Fa hesitated, he heard Gu God say: "The two of us are not forcing you to disclose the content of the last lecture. We only wish to assist you."
Assist... assist ?
"If you have any questions from the First Lecture, we can help answer so."
Zheng Fa felt inexplicably shaken—these were Demon Ancestors! Could they be so kind-hearted?
Seeing his surprised expression, Gu God chuckled lightly, explicitly stating: "With Hongng Purple Qi in your hands, we still have so hope."
...This reason was all too real and highly convincing.
Zheng Fa also knew that this statent wasn’t entirely true. Simply put, Gu God’s attention to him stemd from one reason—he had Gu in his body!
Having figured out Gu God’s intentions, Zheng Fa was indeed swayed. He looked at Gu God and the White Bone Demon Ancestor—though they harbored ill intentions, the knowledge in their minds was innocent.
"In the First Lecture, I indeed have so questions and wish to consult the White Bone friend."
"?"
The White Bone Demon Ancestor pointed to himself, becoming interested, and asked, "Why ?"
