Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Chu Mingkong felt a little heavy-hearted; simply debating the meaning of "dream body" wouldn't be enough to convince her.

Negotiations rely on the equivalent exchange of interests, not on empty words.

"Is there any way to separate your Dao Fruit from my master's will?"

"Of course not. If that were possible, we wouldn't be sitting face-to-face discussing this now."

"...I really should bring someone with me to help me think."

Chu Mingkong sighed, then remained silent for a moment, still showing no sign of giving up, and said:

"So, going back to the beginning, Xuejun, you need this Dao Fruit to go through a round of reshuffling, right?"

Lord Xuechuan patiently responded to this kind of self-evident nonsense:

"Yes, once many things begin, there is no chance to stop and catch your breath; it's either life or death."

Even if I have no interest in scheming and plotting with the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Sword God, and the Ancient Buddha, if I fall behind, Snow River Divine City will cease to exist.

This is the principle of merger and absorption.

Just like the talent selection mechanism of the Sword Dynasty, you either choose not to brave the wind and rain from the very beginning, or you survive one elimination after another.

However, while the elimination process in the Sword Dynasty has an end, among the overlords of the Heavenly Domain, the elimination will never end until a final victor emerges.

It was in this pursuit that they gradually reached a peak unseen by the world, becoming another kind of existence.

Even so, pressure still exists among these supreme beings.

Only death and elimination can bring them peace and relaxation.

"The Heavenly Sword God harbored hatred towards the Sword Emperor Dynasty. Now, my companions and I have eliminated Him. In the future, I will continue to eliminate the Heavenly Demon and the supreme beings of Buddhism. Will this alleviate the pressure you need to face?"

"You have a big mouth."

The Lord of Snow River had not expected Chu Mingkong to make such outrageous remarks, and her words reflected the thoughts of the three Holy Maidens.

The three women were horrified, and Binglan's lips twitched slightly uncontrollably.

Continue to eliminate two supreme beings...

Qi Xue communicates with her companions through a soul connection.

[This Chu Mingkong really dares to speak his mind.]

This is indeed a fundamental approach; the only way to preserve that Dao Fruit is to end the competition among the supreme beings.

Binglan didn't mean to pour cold water on things or contradict them; she wholeheartedly agreed with her companion's complaints. However, she couldn't help but say solemnly:

I've heard him say similar things in a similar tone before. It was the same attitude he used when he made a bet with me about killing the Heavenly Sword God...

Qi Xue and Yu Xin both remained silent; they had no way to refute it.

Because Chu Mingkong had truly killed an unparalleled being, and the seventh day after the Heavenly Sword God's death had not even passed yet.

"A very strong will." The Lord of Snow River did not hold back her praise. She continued, "But you used the clash of bipolar forces to deal with the Heavenly Sword God. I suppose they have already figured it out. This plan won't work. How else can you deal with them?"

Yes, how do we deal with it?

Chu Mingkong himself didn't have a clue, and the only answer he could give was "break through to the Immortal Realm".

But such words are too vague. Before facing the Heavenly Sword God, Chu Mingkong was not confident, but he did have a trump card.

Talking about "breakthroughs" these days is like making empty promises.

"I don't know," Chu Mingkong honestly offered his best answer.

The three maidservants breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he still had a trump card, but for some reason they also felt sorry for him.

The Lord of Snow River, however, seemed not to have heard his denial and continued to explain the difficulties involved:

"Moreover, you will face several of them at once in the Moonlight Wasteland next time. If they successfully complete the division of the Moonlight Wasteland, then you will face beings such as the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who are at a higher level."

If we couldn't deal with them before their breakthrough, how can we expect them to deal with us after their breakthrough?

Chapter 246 Lord of the Moonlit Arakawa!

"Whether it's feasible or not, let's put that aside for now. What we're discussing now is how to get you, Xuejun, to give up your need for that Dao Fruit."

To Binglan and the others, Chu Mingkong's words sounded like he was at his wit's end and making a fuss over nothing.

It's like when discussing something, the first thing to say is, "Let's put aside the facts."

The Snow River Lord's attitude was so calm it could be described as tolerant; she actually stayed with Chu Mingkong and continued their conversation under such absurd circumstances!

"If we don't discuss whether it's feasible or not, then what you said is indeed correct. If the competition stops, I really don't need this Dao fruit."

"Once there are no competitors, Xuejun, you no longer need to compete. So, if you continue to think about this, it's simply a matter of eliminating the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Ancient Ancestor Buddha before this round of reshuffling begins."

Lord Xuechuan responded with a nod.

Chu Mingkong felt a road appear before him with exceptional clarity.

However, this road was also extremely rugged.

"By the way, I remember there are more than just these few major powers in the Heavenly Domain, right? There's also the Holy Sun Flower Bridge, the Chaotic Battle Star Tomb, and so on. And those two supreme beings..."

Is there any explanation?

These two supreme beings are remarkably low-key.

Chu Mingkong was no longer a newcomer to the Heavenly Realm, but he had indeed not heard much about their activities.

Lord of Snow River explained:

"These two have long since entered seclusion, and I don't know when they will wake up. I will also be in seclusion until my Dao fruit returns."

"Seclusion... So what is their attitude? Are they willing to stop, or continue the competition, endlessly escalating the conflict?"

"Their thoughts are unimportant, because it's impossible to find out from their mouths, and even if you did, would you believe them?"

Can you believe it...?

The woman's question made Chu Mingkong realize something.

This is just a meeting of several top students with final exams and sect competitions approaching. They all keep saying they're just slacking off and not putting in any effort.

But in reality, they might be working hard in secret. What they say is just empty talk, and anyone who believes it is doomed.

Once you're among the supreme beings, if anyone slacks off for a while and inadvertently misses an opportunity to be reshuffled and ascend to a higher realm, then there's no chance of turning things around.

This apprehension stems from mutual suspicion and uncertainty, as well as a situation where there is absolutely no room for error.

Having heard it from the Lord of Snow River himself, Chu Mingkong could better understand the Heavenly Sword God's caution at the time.

After the sudden attack from the Lord of Snow River, the Heavenly Sword God's nerves were on edge. Without thinking twice, he unleashed his most surging extreme Yang power, determined to kill him in one fell swoop.

"I understand, so I still have to be wary of these two... After this endless competition ends, the Dao Fruit can really be given to me, right?"

"Yes, but what use do you have for my Dao Fruit?"

“I will try to reshape a physical body and try to make that Dao fruit return to my master’s wife.”

The Snow River Queen wanted to deny his plan, for she knew best what role her Dao Fruit could play.

Even if Chu Mingkong truly created a flawless physical body, he could not bring the Dao Fruit to life.

However, after such a long conversation with the Lord of Snow River that was "not based on feasibility," there is no need to refute this at the moment.

We will only discuss the "theoretical possibilities" now.

In the woman's hand, an ice crystal appeared, reflecting Shen Xuejun's exquisite sleeping face.

A wisp of extremely yin energy swirled around the ice crystal.

"After a period of time, the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Ancient Buddha will gather at the Moonlight Wasteland to share the power left behind by the past beings."

I can't say for sure how long 'some time' is, but if you really want to be their enemy, you'd better demonstrate the corresponding ability as soon as possible.

I can refrain from discussing the 'possibility' of achieving this with you now, but when the time comes, I need to see even the slightest 'possibility' from you.

Because the Lord of Xuechuan also needs time to deal with the situation, it's impossible for Chu Mingkong to keep stalling and stagnating.

She had to see the value in her stagnant state, and that was the value Chu Mingkong needed to demonstrate.

Chu Mingkong nodded seriously, expressing his determination, but seeing that the conversation had gone on for a while, he tried to joke around:

"So, if I just keep dragging things out, can I force you to accept the fruit completely?"

"No, what I crave now is a complete Dao Fruit. If it really comes to a critical moment, I can forcibly break the Dao Fruit, erase the excess will residue, and then absorb it."

Hearing such heartless words, Chu Mingkong had no choice but to back down and give up on his clever tricks.

"We've covered most of what we wanted to discuss today, so I'll head back to cultivate a bit more. By the way, are you sure those two from Chaotic Battle Star Tomb and Holy Sun Flower Bridge won't suddenly appear and try to seize the power of Moonlight Wild River?"

"The fact that they haven't appeared yet shows that what they're pursuing is more attractive than what's on the other side of Moonlight Arakawa."

"Okay, so that means at most there will be two supreme beings on the other side at the same time, which is acceptable... Xuejun, you should also lend a hand, right?"

"Yes, but it's the same old story."

Lord Xuechuan said calmly.

We can leave feasibility aside for now, but we'll have to see the "possibility" later.

"I understand."

Chu Mingkong then left the Ice Palace, escorted by three Holy Venerable maids.

They said they were escorting him, but in reality they were escorting the cultivators outside. If any fool dared to provoke them, they would be courting death.

Upon confirming that Chu Mingkong had left Snow River Divine City, the three Holy Venerables immediately turned back.

"Palace Master, is Lord Chu... truly capable of dealing with two supreme beings?"

"There's no need to deal with both of them. If he can really demonstrate his 'potential' in this short period of time, I can help him deal with one of them."

One...

That's not easy either!

I just overheard the Palace Master and Chu Mingkong discussing how he relied on the treacherous power of extreme Yin to kill a supreme being, but this move was seen through, and it will be difficult to succeed again.

In other words, unless Chu Mingkong can come up with such "opportunistic" methods again, he will be under a lot of pressure.
