Master's Dao Heart Was Shattered by My Burp

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Inside the mysterious cave.

Yuanshi Tianzun stood frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at Lin Shen, who was curiously touching his brow with an innocent expression.

He looked down again at the glaring golden bloodstain on his Daoist robe.

Only one thought was buzzing in my mind.

Was I just showing off?

Yes.

He was definitely showing off.

And they put on a particularly enthusiastic act.

He deliberately brought Lin Shen out of the Kunlun Mountain, calling it a "Treasure Hunt Game".

It was all so he could show off his skills in front of his apprentice.

Let him see what the Pangu's True Lineage is all about!

What does it mean to be destined by Heaven?

He wanted his apprentice to understand—

The eldest brother's incredible luck, the third brother's blind stumble upon success, Nuwa Nuwa's petty favors couldn't compare to the Yuanshi Tianzun found through his own profound knowledge and wisdom!

The plan is perfect.

The process went very smoothly at one point.

With the help of the "Pangu Banner Instruction Manual," he found this hidden cave that even Sage's divine sense could not detect.

They discovered the purest and most complete Pangu's Heart Blood, enough to drive the entire Primordial World mad!

At that moment, he felt he had reached the pinnacle of his life!

He is the chosen one!

He is the Father God's only and most legitimate successor!

He had even thought it all through.

Once I get my hands on this drop of heart's blood, how will I get back to Kunlun Mountain?

Before Taiqing, Tongtian, and Nuwa, he announced his great discovery in a calm yet imposing tone.

He's determined to get back all the face he lost, with interest!

But what was the result?

As a result, this "chosen one" was slapped away by the treasure left behind by the Father God the moment he reached out.

He was slapped so hard he vomited blood on the spot.

His primordial spirit was almost crushed.

And his precious apprentice, whom he brought along to "broaden his horizons," was the one he wanted to protect.

It was simply because that drop of heart's blood looked like "red jelly".

Just reach out your little hand and grab it...

That drop of Pangu's Heart Blood, so domineering and unruly that even he, Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, could not get close to it.

Just like a docile little kitten.

It nuzzled against the other person's hand, and then with a "whoosh," it slipped into the other person's forehead.

The entire process was smooth and seamless.

It is full of harmony and nature.

It's as if that drop of heart's blood originally belonged to Lin Shen.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he was merely responsible for leading the way, livening up the atmosphere, and performing a "spitting blood on the spot" act to add to the merriment...

Tool?

Yuanshi Tianzun felt his Dao Heart.

That Dao Heart, cultivated for countless eons, was already as firm as a rock, harder than Buzhou Mountain.

At that moment, it shattered.

It shattered even more thoroughly than the pile of Chaos Rock in his storage room.

"Second Master, why are you bleeding?"

Lin Shen's curious voice pulled Yuanshi Tianzun back from his petrified state.

The little guy saw the bloodstains at the corner of Yuanshi Tianzun's mouth and reached out his chubby little hand to wipe them away.

Are you sick?

"Would you like First Master's candy?"

He looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with a worried expression.

Those clear eyes were filled with pure concern.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at his disciple's innocent face.

Then look at the twelve-colored blood mark between his eyebrows that was slowly disappearing.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Touched, aggrieved, heartbroken, and a tiny bit... I wanted to cry.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

After going through all that trouble to find the treasure, I didn't get it and instead got beaten up by it.

In the end, he still had to rely on the "culprit" who stole his precious treasure to take care of him.

"Cough cough... I'm fine."

Yuanshi Tianzun forced out a smile that looked worse than a grimace, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He used his magic to suppress the churning blood and qi within his body, feigning composure as he said:

"Just now, I was having a friendly exchange with this drop of Father God's heart's blood."

"It was very enthusiastic, so it made quite a racket."

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that he had never said such a contrary word in his entire life.

"Oh, really?"

Lin Shen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Then, he let out a burp.

"Hiccup~~"

A crisp, satisfied burp echoed through the quiet cave.

Accompanied by a burp, a stream of indescribably pure, colorful energy containing twelve different laws and principles of Dao spewed out from Lin Shen's small mouth.

The stream of air sprayed directly onto Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

Yuanshi Tianzun: "..."

He felt as if an entire new universe had been smeared in his face.

The immense life force and pure Pangu Origin contained in that flow of energy instantly surged into his limbs and every cell of his body.

His primordial spirit, which had just been injured by the pressure of Pangu, was not only instantly restored to its original state under the nourishment of this energy flow, but even became more refined and clear!

His Cultivation Bottleneck, stuck at the peak of the Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal, was actually... broken through under the impact of this "burp" energy.

It's loose!

"I..."

Yuanshi Tianzun was completely speechless.

He looked at Lin Shen, his eyes filled with an extremely complex expression.

This little guy stole my opportunity, and then, through his burping, gave me an even bigger one?

Is this his own apprentice or his own ancestor?

"Second Master, you smell so good."

Lin Shen took a deep sniff of the scent emanating from Yuanshi Tianzun.

It smells even better than my First Master's elixirs.

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable looked down at himself and discovered that his body was uncontrollably emitting bursts of Daoist radiance.

He knew he was about to break through.

But he can't be happy at all right now.

Because he knew that this breakthrough was not achieved through his own efforts.

It was thanks to his apprentice's... burp.

If this gets out, what will become of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun's reputation?

"Let's go home!"

Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath and pulled Lin Shen into his arms.

He didn't want to stay a moment longer in this heartbreaking place that had shattered his "Dao Heart."

He needs to return to Kunlun Mountain immediately!

Then he's going into seclusion!

He will not leave seclusion until he breaks through to the Late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!

He wanted to prove with his own strength that he, Yuanshi Tianzun, did not achieve his breakthrough by relying on his disciple's hiccups!

Yuanshi Tianzun, carrying Lin Shen, practically fled the cave.

When they arrived, they were full of vigor, aloof and cold, as if they had the world at their fingertips.

When he returned, he was covered in dust and looked dazed, like a defeated rooster.

The stark contrast even made the mountain god of Buzhou Mountain peek out and take a second look out of curiosity.

At this moment, Lin Shen was comfortably nestled in the arms of Yuanshi Tianzun.

He felt that his Second Master's embrace was softer than usual.

He had no idea that his stubborn but soft-hearted Second Master had just experienced a devastating "Waterloo" in his life.

He just thought today's Treasure Hunt Game was really fun.

That red jelly was really delicious.

That is...

After eating, I felt a bit full.

Lin Shen patted his round little belly and let out a small burp.

"Hiccup~"
