#408 - Chapter 408 Do I, Ye Kong, need it?

On Mount Xiaoyao.

Ye Ling sat beside Ye Kong, watching the setting sun in the west, and said, "Alas, the cultivation world is just like that setting sun, declining and no longer prosperous."

"And I am closely related to the cultivation world. I really don't know what my fate will be in the future."

"Of course, the stronger the cultivation world, the stronger I am. If the cultivation world is gone, I'm gone too," Ye Ling said.

"Oh," Ye Kong replied perfunctorily.

Ye Ling looked at Ye Kong unhappily and said, "Don't you care about my life or death at all?"

"You won't die," Ye Kong said calmly.

"What do you mean? Are you willing to save the cultivation world?"

"No, I mean, even if the cultivation world is gone, my Mount Xiaoyao will still be here," Ye Kong said.

Although Mount Xiaoyao is independent, it is still part of the cultivation world.

As long as Mount Xiaoyao is still there, Ye Ling will not die.

Ye Ling stared at Ye Kong, puffed up her cheeks, and said, "Mount Xiaoyao can only allow me to maintain my Foundation Establishment cultivation at most."

"That's still better than me. I haven't even reached Foundation Establishment yet," Ye Kong said, spreading his hands.

Ye Ling was stunned when she heard this. It seemed that Ye Kong had not yet reached Foundation Establishment.

"That's not right. You're already very powerful even without Foundation Establishment, okay?"

Ye Kong's strength cannot be measured by realm.

"Then how much strength can you exert after Foundation Establishment?" Ye Kong asked curiously.

"My Foundation Establishment only has the strength of Foundation Establishment, okay? Do you think everyone is a freak like you?" Ye Ling said unhappily.

Ye Kong raised his fishing rod, looked at the turbulent waves on the Bitter Sea, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"The waves are really big."

Just as he was speaking, Yun landed beside Ye Kong.

"Peak Master Ye," Yun said with cupped hands.

"I don't want to drink tea, and I don't want to hear about matters," Ye Kong said directly.

Yun was blocked by Ye Kong before he could even open his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

It wasn't right to leave, and it wasn't right not to leave.

"Tell me," Ye Ling said, sitting next to Ye Kong.

Upon hearing this, Yun immediately said, "Lord Ling, the ancient powerhouses from all sides are jointly putting pressure on Yuan, asking Yuan to give up Nan Yun Continent."

"Although Yuan is powerful, he is ultimately no match for many hands," Yun said truthfully.

Ye Ling heard this, turned to look at Ye Kong, and after seeing that Ye Kong had no reaction, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Let Xuan take the Spirit Control Army to Nan Yun Continent to guard it. With the Spirit Control Army there, I don't believe anyone dares to mess around in Nan Yun Continent!"

"Understood," Yun responded.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Speak!"

"Now, in the cultivation world, various regions are independent, guarding their own gates, cultivating successors, and continuing their own paths," Yun said directly.

This sentence was meant for Ye Kong to hear.

If the cultivation world becomes independent in various regions, it will return to the ancient times, before the appearance of the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Before the appearance of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, various regions were independent, and the smoke of war rose everywhere.

At that time, the cultivation world was constantly at war, and everyone wanted to compete for the position of Lord.

The Azure Emperor, Fa, Hong, and so on, were all supreme powerhouses of that era.

And with the rise of Hong, the Azure Emperor retreated, Hong fought with Fa, Fa lost, and Hong won.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth appeared, unifying the separated cultivation world, and managed by Hong.

Now, if the cultivation world is to be separated again, it will be even more chaotic than in ancient times.

After all, there are many resurrected ancient powerhouses, but there are only thirteen continents in the cultivation world, and everyone wants to occupy one.

Even the Tree King, even if he conquered the Arctic Continent, could not hold it and was taken back by the Ancient Alliance.

"Whether the cultivation world is chaotic or not, what does it have to do with me, Ye Kong?" Ye Kong said indifferently.

No matter how chaotic the cultivation world is, it's just like that to Ye Kong.

As long as the flames of war don't reach him, that's fine.

"Ye Kong, the cultivation world will be reshuffled. Cultivation is a must-contend. If you don't participate in the competition, you may be reduced to dust and disappear with the rotation of history."

"Who doesn't want to be remembered in history? Who doesn't want to ascend to immortality? This life is very strange. If you don't fight, you may completely lose the opportunity," Ye Ling said truthfully.

Ye Kong pulled the fishing hook and said leisurely, "Do you think I need to compete for that illusory opportunity?"

"Fishing every day and taking care of my disciples is tiring enough. I really don't have the mood to compete for anything."

"Ye Kong, you don't compete, but your disciples need to," Yun said from the side.

Hearing Yun's words, Ye Kong turned to look at Peach Mountain and then said, "My disciples will fight for whatever they want themselves. They don't need me to grab it for them."

Ye Kong has a lot of confidence in his disciples.

They will fight and snatch for whatever they want themselves.

There is absolutely no need for him to give it to them.

"Alas..."

"Don't sigh on my Mount Xiaoyao. If you want to sigh, go back to your Heavenly Sword Peak. Don't you know that the relationship between my Mount Xiaoyao and Heavenly Sword Peak has never been good?" Ye Kong said unhappily.

Yun was interrupted by Ye Kong and fell silent. After a long time, he said:

"Then I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything!"

Ye Kong ignored him, and Yun consciously left.

"Was this also what Mu Qianyuan told you last time?" Ye Kong asked.

"About the same," Ye Ling said.

"Do you want to compete?" Ye Kong looked at Ye Ling and asked.

Ye Ling was silent for a long time and said, "If possible, I also want to get rid of the shackles of the cultivation world."

"Ling's identity brings me nobility, but it has also become a shackle that imprisons me."

"Is it useful if you win?" Ye Kong asked.

"Perhaps. If I win the world, I might be able to let Ziling transform and replace my identity. That's what Hong said," Ye Ling explained.

The Ziling in Lingxiao Palace was specially cultivated by Hong for her, to take over her identity and allow her to be free.

It's just that an accident happened just after she was cultivated.

Hong had no way to let Ziling take Ye Ling's form, so he had to hide Ziling in the lotus pond, waiting for Ye Ling to go before he could open it.

When Hong controlled the world, he could have completely let Ziling replace Ling, but Ziling was not mature enough at that time.

Now Ziling is in a juvenile state. As long as she controls the world, she can mobilize the world's luck and spiritual power to shape Ziling and provide for her growth, replacing Ye Ling.

Ye Kong gently raised the fishing rod and then said, "Since you want to conquer the cultivation world, then go ahead and do it."

"The Spirit Control Army is in the open, and I am in the dark. I will help you," Ye Kong said.

Since it was what Ye Ling needed, then Ye Kong would help Ye Ling this time.

After all, she has served him for so long, so it is right to help her with a small favor.

Moreover, they had said before that cultivation is a must-contend. Ye Kong doesn't need it, but his disciples still do.

He can be a salted fish, but his disciples cannot.

"So, you are willing to take action to compete for the world?" Ye Ling asked in surprise.

"It's not that I'm willing, but that you need it."

"You are the one who is competing for the world. I am just helping. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood!" Ye Ling nodded repeatedly.
