"You also said, the Lord of Immortal Origin, holds such a high and powerful position. I think, unless one is a fool, anyone who is not solely driven by responsibility would agree to accept this position, right? It is precisely his indifference to fame and gain that reassures me to entrust him with the role of Lord of Immortal Origin. What is wrong with that?" the True Martial Saint Lord said coldly.

While speaking, the True Martial Saint Lord swept his gaze over the group of Saint Lords around him. Those who caught his eye all looked embarrassed and lowered their heads; the True Martial Saint Lord's gaze seemed to see through the thoughts at the bottom of their hearts.

"Indifference to fame and gain? Ha... aren't you fully aware that cultivating to our level, there are some things that we simply must not agree to lightly, no matter how great the benefits may be, lest our state of mind..." the Langya Saint Lord said with a cold laugh.

"You know we must not agree to things lightly! That's why I promised the accumulated origin energy of the Immortal Origin World to Lin Yun, and Lin Yun also promised to take good care of the Immortal Origin World... Now, by acting this way, are you trying to make me break my word?" the True Martial Saint Lord said chillingly, cutting off the Langya Saint Lord before he finished speaking.

At their level of power, they must not agree to others' requests lightly, and once they agreed, they had to do their best to fulfill them; otherwise, their state of mind would be affected, which was not conducive to their future cultivation.

"Langya, do not forget that when the Taoists Ancestor left, he entrusted us with a mission. You should be clear that Lin Yun is the most suitable person to be the Lord of Immortal Origin. This universe has already connected to the Netherworld, and the powerful beings that come from the Netherworld are extremely formidable.

I am about to leave this universe, and you won't be staying in this universe for much longer either. The space node might not recover any time soon. Only if Lin Yun becomes stronger can he protect this universe..." The True Martial Saint Lord paused for a moment before continuing.

Actually, there was something else he didn't mention, which was that he had a vague premonition: facing the crisis of the universe connecting to the Netherworld, the Langya Saint Lord's strength was possibly insufficient.

And Lin Yun, now possessing the strength of a mid-level Saint Lord, if he broke through one more level, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that he would attain the strength of an upper-level Saint Lord.

In addition, given Lin Yun's extraordinary talent, even if he failed to break through to the New Layered Heaven and didn't receive the energy bestowed by heaven and earth, he was extremely likely to make another breakthrough in a short period of time. At that time, Lin Yun's strength would surpass that of the Langya Saint Lord.

The Langya Saint Lord had cultivated for thousands of years to reach the realm of an upper-level Saint Lord, and for the past two thousand years or so, he had made no further progress. By comparison, relying on Lin Yun in this crisis was much more reliable.

However, the True Martial Saint Lord was considerate of the Langya Saint Lord's dignity and did not voice this matter.

Otherwise, wouldn't that tell everyone that Langya Saint Lord's potential was inferior to Lin Yun's? Even though he currently surpassed Lin Yun in strength, he would soon be overtaken by Lin Yun?

The True Martial Saint Lord spoke, and the Langya Saint Lord remained silent throughout.

"True Martial Elder, my master plans to let me use that origin energy from the Immortal Origin World, so that we can together break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. At that time, with the energy bestowed by heaven and earth, my strength will surely advance rapidly.

Even if my master and Elder leave this universe, I can still guard the space node that connects to the Netherworld," Chu Lee couldn't hold back any longer and interjected.

Previously, when he heard his master, the Langya Saint Lord, insist on giving him that portion of origin energy, he was very excited.

In his view, since his master had spoken thus, and his master was, after all, one of the two great powers of the Immortal Origin Sanctuary who had cultivated together with True Martial Saint Lord in their early years, True Martial Saint Lord should give him this much face.

But contrary to his expectations, the True Martial Saint Lord refused.

Not only did he refuse, but from what the True Martial Saint Lord implied, Chu Lee should not even think of touching the origin energy accumulated in the Immortal Origin World for the next two thousand years.

That is to say, if he waits, at the very minimum, he would have to wait another three thousand years before he could use the origin energy accumulated in the Immortal Origin World.

He was only a little over three hundred years old. How could he endure waiting another three thousand years?

In three thousand years, he might not even need those sources of energy.

By then, his master might have already left this universe, and he would forever lose the chance to break through the thirty-fourth heaven with his master, the Langya Saint Lord, to attain a greater destiny.

This was a situation he absolutely did not want to happen.

Therefore, after hearing the concerns of the True Martial Saint Lord, he could not help but disclose his master, the Langya Saint Lord's series of plans and personally promised to fulfill them.

"After all, Lin Yun is an outsider. From his indiscriminate killing of our Immortal Origin World cultivators, his wild ambition is clear. And I was raised under your watchful eye, how can an outsider compare to me? If Elder is willing to entrust me with the task left by the Taoists Ancestor, I will certainly do it well!" Chu Lee continued, still not assured.

Not only did he slander Lin Yun, but it seemed that he also wanted to compete with Lin Yun for the position of Lord of Immortal Origin.

"Hmm?"

"This Chu Lee?"

The surrounding Saint Lords were surprised to hear Chu Lee's words.

Unlike Chu Lee, who had only lived for just over three hundred years, each of them was an old being who had lived for countless years. Although the Langya Saint Lord had not informed them, they could vaguely sense that the Langya Saint Lord's plan was supposed to be kept from the True Martial Saint Lord, and it might not be good for the True Martial Saint Lord to find out.

Now that Chu Lee had blurted it out...

They could not help but inwardly curse Chu Lee as an idiot who, upon seeing a bit of benefit, forgot to think.

The Langya Saint Lord's pupils also shrank slightly, but he did not speak to stop it, as Chu Lee's disclosure of this matter was not done with his permission, but it did not exceed his plan.

"You plan to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe?" Upon hearing Chu Lee's words, the True Martial Saint Lord was also slightly surprised.

The next moment, he turned his head to look again at the surrounding Saint Lords, as if deep in thought.

Indeed, the act of a cultivator breaking through a new heaven of a universe is something that must be done alone; however, the Taoists Ancestor Er Lee found another way, using a special method to obscure heavenly secrets, allowing multiple cultivators to break through a new heaven together and receive the energy bestowed by heaven and earth.

However, this practice has a special requirement: there must be one cultivator below the Saint Lord Realm, and the strength of this cultivator is also very important.

Perhaps, as the Taoists Ancestor Er Lee once said, the lower the realm of a cultivator, the less power required to break through to a new heaven, thus cultivators below the Saint Lord Realm are given preferential treatment.

The Taoists Ancestor Er Lee was able to obscure the heavenly secrets precisely because of this special preferential treatment.

And Chu Lee... obviously, he was the exceptional cultivator chosen by the Langya Saint Lord to break through the new heaven together.

Then... the other Saint Lords... were they also the Langya Saint Lord's chosen partners?

The True Martial Saint Lord frowned slightly.
