Chapter 6992: Bread Crumb

“Just wait for me, my source and dao court.” Mo Xiangsheng gathered confidence.

“More like an early death.” Till Ancestor uttered coldly.

“I haven’t even started and you killed my morale, Senior. Watch it, I might be lucky enough to find them and become the next celestial immortal.” He said.

“You, a celestial immortal? I would stop dreaming.” Till Ancestor sneered.

“Let me have the right to dream, at the very least. If I somehow get the dao court and the celestial source, I should still have a chance of becoming an immortal.” He smiled.

He knew that the celestial source and the dao court weren’t enough to make him a celestial immortal. Ultimately, the celestial stage was an internal journey.

He became an overlord on his own merits. Thus, using them to become a regular immortal was not out of the question. His talent and dao heart were top of a generation.

“Even without them, it is only a matter of time in Heavenrealm. The immortal realm is nothing to be proud of, there’s a long way to go.” Till Ancestor said.

“I understand, thank you for your guidance, Senior.” He bowed.

The path was arduous and endless - grand, golden, primordial. Even after becoming a primordial, one needed to reach the shore and create a paramita avatar before becoming a celestial immortal. Afterward, one needed to master apex powers.

“Hehe, I won’t forget about you after I get them.” He added.

“Let’s say you are lucky enough to find the source, how are you going to take it out of Dusk Realm?” Till Ancestor asked.

“Just run?” He said.

“Run? Dozens of immortals will be waiting to tear you to pieces, can you outrun them?” Till Ancestor snorted.

“True...” His spirit waned like a deflated balloon before he came up with a new plan: “How about this, since I am the destined one, you should escort me after I obtain the source. Our Amethyst Alliance and your Farming Society can combine forces.”

“Scram.” Till Ancestor wanted to leave since he had a goal in mind. An overlord was too weak and couldn’t be a partner.

“Senior, your fortune is right before you.” He didn’t give up.

“Bam!” Till Ancestor removed him from the plot.

“Remember, try to survive, don’t worry about the source.” Till Ancestor warned him first before staring at Li Qiye: “You, a mortal, are an ant. Just stay here at the entrance, don’t leave.”

“Whoosh!” He gently removed Li Qiye from the plot and commanded it to fly toward the horizon.

“Senior, don’t be so cruel, what are we going to do here?!” Mo Xiangsheng shouted.

“He’s gone.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile.

“Sigh, rotten wood, you had a chance to latch onto his thigh but didn’t appreciate it. It would have been safer as his disciple, better than dying here.” He lamented.

“Don’t you want me as your disciple?” Li Qiye smirked.

“True.” He said: “I suppose I wouldn’t care about you in that case. Well, not quite. Brat, you are a donkey, stupid and stubborn. If you had accepted, he would have given you treasures and then you could have given them to me.”

“I think you live in a fantasy world.” Li Qiye said.

“Brat, you don’t understand, the senior puts on a cold act but he wouldn’t mind sharing some soup with us. For example, if he somehow obtains the source, you as his disciple would become rich too, and then you can share a little bit of that with me.” He shook his head.

“Are you really a supreme overlord? So shameless.” Li Qiye said.

“Don’t be fooled by my impressive appearance, I’m from humble roots. I might be the lord of a minor world but that’s actually pathetic for an overlord. The immortals from the major worlds are just so rich, that’s why we have to follow them in hope of a good meal...” The more he spoke, the more irate he became at Li Qiye.

“Didn’t you flaunt about how great your world was?” Li Qiye said.

“There are levels to this, ignorant child.” He said: “For an insect, a crumb of bread is an endless resource.”

“Right.” Li Qiye nodded in agreement.

“Alright, enough nonsense. Even if you understand it, you can’t experience it anyway without reaching the right height.” He said.

“There’s no end to the dao. You want to become an immortal, and then everlasting life, and then another goal afterward.” Li Qiye said.

“So clever, realizing it after one hint. Your comprehension must be impressive, take me in as your master and I will teach you a supreme dao...” His eyes lit up.

“An overlord such as yourself is still struggling, it’ll be the same for me. I might as well just be a mortal content with bread crumbs.” Li Qiye said.

“As a mortal, you will never be able to taste immortal delicacies.” He scolded.

“I’m satisfied with the bread already.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Good-for-nothing! Truly unteachable! Mud that can't harden!” He stomped the ground, frustrated at Li Qiye’s inability to learn.
