#378 - Chapter 378 Master, look at the kingdom your disciple has conquered for you

Star Observation Pavilion, above.

Mu Qianyuan sat on the Star Observation Platform, applying medicine to his face.

“I told you not to hit my face, and you still hit my face, hiss~”

Mu Qianyuan was somewhat helpless, his face bruised and swollen.

“Be content, if you hadn't acted recklessly, would you have been beaten?” Yun stood beside him, making sarcastic remarks.

“Heh.” Mu Qianyuan chuckled softly and said, “I helped you pacify Southern Cloud Continent, and you don't even give me any benefits, instead, you're making sarcastic remarks.”

Hearing Mu Qianyuan's words, Yun Zu couldn't help but laugh and said, “How haven't I given you benefits? Aren't I here to be your ancestor?”

Mu Qianyuan: … …

“Could it be that you still want that Iron Clad Fool to be your ancestor?” Yun Zu asked.

“At least Ancestor Yuan wouldn't restrict me and would allow me to use my abilities freely,” Mu Qianyuan said.

Yun said indifferently, “He wouldn't restrict you from using your abilities, but he also couldn't help you much. Your ability isn't bad, what you lack is guidance, someone to correct your mistakes.”

“As for that Iron Clad Fool, he's alright as a fighter, but if he were to guide you… would he dare to point the way, and would you dare to follow?”

Hearing this, Mu Qianyuan fell silent.

He did indeed need a guide to show him the way.

“Qianyuan, when looking at anything, don't use your eyes to see, your eyes will limit your vision. There are many things that you can only see the first or second layer of, but true experts will hide in the fourth or fifth layer.”

“For example, the Great Buddha, the Continent of Ultimate Bliss is his backup plan, the hidden Buddhist disciples are the second layer, the Buddhist disciples hidden in the void are the third layer, and Du Nan is the fourth layer. How many more layers do you think he has?”

“Another example is Du Nan, who diligently hid for tens of thousands of years without being discovered, but his actions exposed him in one morning, causing everything to be in vain. Why is this? Because he only stood on the second layer.”

“If he had cultivated confidants and subordinates over these tens of thousands of years, and had his subordinates do this, wouldn't he have been able to hide behind the scenes all along?”

“Another example is your grandmaster, our master, you think he's in the sky, but what if… he had already come down long ago?”

“Therefore, there are many things you cannot see through.”

Yun's teachings enlightened Mu Qianyuan.

Mu Qianyuan was silent for a long time before asking, “Which layer is Ye Kong standing on?”

“The first layer,” Yun Zu said directly.

“Huh? Wouldn't that make him very passive and easily schemed against?” Mu Qianyuan retorted.

Yun Zu looked at Mu Qianyuan and shook his head, saying:

“Your grandmaster stood on the highest layer back then, but he still had to listen to the will of the Heavenly Earth Master, who was also standing on the first layer at the time.”

Mu Qianyuan sat upright in place, constantly recalling Yun Zu's words in his mind.

His words were somewhat contradictory, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing wrong with them.

“Alas, I am still too young,” Mu Qianyuan sighed.

… …

Carefree Peak.

After beating up Mu Qianyuan, Lin Yaoyao and the others felt much better.

And Ye Kong had also woken up long ago, waving his hand to undo the shielding formation.

“Master, would you like to take a stroll in the backyard of Carefree Peak?” Lin Yaoyao walked to Ye Kong's side and asked.

“Backyard? Does my Carefree Peak have one?” Ye Kong was somewhat taken aback.

He had been in Carefree Peak for more than ten years, and he had never seen a backyard.

“Master, the backyard I'm talking about is Southern Cloud Continent,” Lin Yaoyao explained.

Southern Cloud Continent had been turned into the backyard of Carefree Peak, and also the horse farm of Carefree Peak.

“Alright, let's go take a look,” Ye Kong stood up and said, then called Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun, taking them two little ones to wander around.

The group rode a spirit boat and spent a day to reach Southern Cloud Continent.

In Southern Cloud Continent, the major sects had erected the flags of Carefree Peak and the flags of the Star River Sect.

Lin Yaoyao stood on the spirit boat and pointed grandly, saying:

“See, Master, this is the empire that your disciple has conquered for you!”

“Mm,” Ye Kong nodded slightly.

“Master, the cultivation world is very cruel. If you are weak, you will be conquered by others, not you conquering others,” Lin Yaoyao said emphatically.

The reason she brought Ye Kong to see the conquered Southern Cloud Continent was actually to stimulate Ye Kong.

See, if you don't cultivate properly, you will be beaten in the future.

“Disciple is right,” Ye Kong nodded, not understanding Lin Yaoyao's hidden meaning.

After all, Lin Yaoyao wasn't talking about him.

Seeing that Master hadn't reacted yet, Lin Yaoyao lowered the spirit boat a little, then pointed at the corpses and said: “Master, look, the most deaths in each major sect are all ‘Qi Refining’.”

Lin Yaoyao emphasized the words ‘Qi Refining’.

“The cultivation of Qi Refining is weak, and they can't run fast. A wave of energy will annihilate them. Disciple, kill less in the future!” Ye Kong reminded.

Xiao Bai muttered to the side: “Who would care about the life and death of the weak.”

“Xiao Bai, that's not right. If no one cares about the life and death of the weak, wouldn't this cultivation world be destroyed, leaving only a portion of the strong?” Ye Kong said.

If no one cared about the life and death of the weak, when troubled times came, Hong and the others would leave directly, and then the cultivation world would be gone, nothing would be left.

“Xiao Bai, you can ignore the life and death of others, but you can't kill at will!” Ye Kong solemnly reminded.

“I know,” Xiao Bai pouted.

Ye Kong had said this to him more than once.

Lin Yaoyao glared at Xiao Bai and thought to herself: You're interrupting my education of Master, I'll educate you when we get back!

The spirit boat wandered around Southern Cloud Continent before returning. Southern Cloud Continent had been initially stabilized, and what remained was to restore its vitality.

It must be said that Luo Yangtian's efficiency was very high. Not long after Lin Yaoyao and the others conquered Southern Cloud Continent, Luo Yangtian had pacified Southern Cloud Continent.

All sects had Star River Sect disciples responsible for supervision.

Once they dared to resist, their entire sect would be exterminated.

After the spirit boat traveled for a day, it returned to Carefree Peak the next day.

After Ye Kong returned, he went back to the Bitter Sea and continued to fish.

Daily fishing cannot be stopped.

Lin Yaoyao watched Master fish again, and put a hand to her forehead.

“Well, that was a wasted trip.”

Master, if you put even a third of your fishing energy into cultivation, you wouldn't be a ten-thousand-year-old cultivator!

Alas!

Lin Yaoyao sighed and returned to Peach Mountain.
