Chapter 1023

Wei Yuan and Zhang Sheng stood by, with Yan Shi and Bai Kaishui sitting at the head, and Fenhai Zhenjun Xuanyue sitting to the side. A certain female sword cultivator from the Jiangong did not come, and Fenhai Zhenjun Xuanyue felt a sense of loss.

Wei Yuan first said: "Why do the immortals have this attitude? Can they really not intervene?"

Yan Shi gave a cold laugh: "If it's not this attitude, what other attitude could it be? You are all contending for the Great Dao. What Zhang Sheng is contending for is the Sword Dao, which has existed since ancient times, but the final impact is only on personal fruit status.

And you are contending for Buddhist intent and Dao, like the ancient struggle between the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater Vehicle; the outcome directly involves the rise and fall of a sect. If you win, how many fruit statuses will be shattered? Today's strike is aimed at you.

Do you think those immortals who only know how to protect themselves will intervene at this time? They will only come to add flowers to the brocade after the result is clear; they will never pull chestnuts from the fire at this time."

Bai Kaishui said: "Sword cultivators all have those who fear death, not to mention those aristocratic immortals. But they are tied to the safety of their entire clan, so they must protect themselves. If I were dragging my family along, I wouldn't risk it for a dispute of intent."

Wei Yuan nodded: "The disciple understands. Please rest assured, Ancestor; it doesn't matter if there is no immortal help. The disciple will certainly strive for self-improvement and will pick up trash to eat himself."

Yan Shi was stunned, Bai Kaishui was stunned, and with Fenhai Zhenjun Xuanyue's face, she covered her face and turned to the side. Zhang Sheng gently tugged at Wei Yuan's sleeve.

Wei Yuan's expression remained as usual, his eyes bright, without the slightest embarrassment, and he even intended to release some sword energy from the Fourth Cave Heaven, but after several attempts, there was no movement; clearly, Xihe couldn't bear to watch and directly suppressed it.

Seeing Wei Yuan's appearance, Bai Kaishui suddenly realized that this was pointing at him!

He then smiled slightly and said: "The Primordial Palace is the wealthiest in the world; what don't you have? But I cannot bear to see young juniors struggling to survive. How about this? I originally prepared two gifts, but my Jiangong only has one disciple selected this time, so I will take away one gift. What do you think?"

These words were both dismissive and striking, and also fiercely satirized Yan Shi. But Bai Kaishui was actually not very familiar with the people in front of him, and he truly underestimated the thick-skinned nature of the Primordial Palace cultivators.

As soon as the words were out, he saw everyone looking at him with anticipation, in a posture that one gift would also do, and even Yan Shi was completely shameless. Bai Kaishui's heart sank, and he secretly thought it was bad.

Before he could speak, Wei Yuan asked: "Can the gifts be chosen?"

Bai Kaishui originally had no good impression of Wei Yuan himself, and now his impression was naturally even worse. But considering that a wisp of Xihe's divine thought had finally found a suitable mount, the old wealthy man barely held back.

But the mount... I don't know if it was because he read too many storybooks, but he always felt the word "ride" was very glaring, so he silently changed it to Xihe's cave dwelling in his heart. But thinking about it again, it was even more uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhang Sheng scolded Wei Yuan: "How can you be so disrespectful to a senior? Whatever you want, just say it openly. If the senior has it, could he not give it to you?"

Bai Kaishui felt a breath stuck in his chest again, but Zhang Sheng was not Wei Yuan, and he couldn't harden his heart no matter what. From Zhang Sheng, he faintly saw some shadows of Xihe when she was young, only Xihe was sharp at that time, while Zhang Sheng had a bit more composure.

Seeing Bai Kaishui not speaking, how could Wei Yuan not know that the time had come, so he immediately said: "The junior is bold and wants to ask for a wisp of Supreme Sword Intent."

Bai Kaishui's mouth twitched, he nodded slowly, then flicked his finger, and a point of crystalline light flew toward Wei Yuan.

The Jiangong's Supreme Sword Intent was unique in the world, and only a Sword Immortal could condense it, with each wisp taking hundreds of years. This sword intent had infinite wonderful uses; if used on a Heavenly Manifestation sword cultivator, it could directly pull them up to an Immortal Manifestation! Just this one point was a priceless treasure.

Seeing Wei Yuan obtain the sword intent, Zhang Sheng finally revealed a rare smile, bowed to Bai Kaishui, and said: "Many thanks, Ancestor Bai."

Bai Kaishui's face suddenly had its own ideas, smiling until it bloomed like a flower. This child, finally willing to call him Ancestor! Although this ancestor was mostly not that ancestor, he couldn't care about that anymore.

At this time, Xihe faintly appeared behind Wei Yuan, nodded to Bai Kaishui, and disappeared without saying a word.

Bai Kaishui's expression changed instantly, almost crying. But he was an immortal after all, so he restrained his emotions and didn't let others see anything unusual.

The crowd dispersed, and Wei Yuan came to a courtyard in the Immortal City specifically for receiving VIPs, knocking gently on the courtyard door. The door opened, and behind it was Kong Que.

Wei Yuan's impression of Kong Que was still quite good, so he said: "Long time no see!"

"It is indeed a very, very long time. Your Excellency's heroic posture is truly admirable. Well, the above is polite talk; what I really want to say is, you are really too shameless. Is bullying manifestations fun?"

Wei Yuan said sincerely: "Especially fun! Do you want to try it together next time?"

Seeing Wei Yuan not ashamed but proud, Kong Que also gave up, saying: "No!"

Wei Yuan laughed and said: "By the way, since you're here, why didn't you sign up for the Immortal Manifestation selection? If you had signed up, I still have a Great Wasteland Spear Saint clone that hasn't been used, and I could beat you up."

Kong Que smiled: "Sorry, this little monk has merit in guiding, and my cultivation is already complete; I have already crossed that threshold."

Wei Yuan was startled and said: "Should I call you Luo Han Kong Que from now on?"

"Titles are just illusions, merely honorary titles added by ignorant believers. Besides, without fruit status, how dare I call myself an Luo Han? Wait until this little monk ascends to the Pure Land in the future, then it won't be too late to congratulate me. Oh, the merit of guiding can last for a long time; if you work harder, I can ascend faster."

The more Wei Yuan listened, the more wrong it felt, and he finally realized: "Are you guiding me?"
