Lu Changqing said mercilessly:
"I want you to take a good look at yourself."
"Do you possess even half of what they have?"
"Is your appearance superior, or are you better in some other regard?"
Lu Changqing asked bluntly.
Kong Xuan carefully examined his reflection in the mirror and scratched his head. "I think I'm rather handsome!"
Lu Changqing sneered. "So what? You're a man!"
Kong Xuan was left speechless, then suddenly had an idea. "I know transformation arts! I can even change my gender!"
Before he could finish, the teacup in Lu Changqing's hand nearly tipped over. He raised a foot and kicked Kong Xuan straight out of the hall.
Get lost!!!
That bastard was practically challenging his bottom line.
He needed a beating!
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, Ming He returned to Wuji Heaven with a spring in his step.
"Master, I did not fail your trust!"
Ming He rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Changqing checked briefly and discovered that he had actually exceeded the quota.
He nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad."
"These are your rewards."
With a flick of his sleeve, a million merit points and a Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure appeared before them.
Ming He bowed excitedly. "Thank you for your reward, Master!"
"I shall brave fire and water without hesitation!"
Before Lu Changqing could respond, he suddenly heard the system notification.
"Task completed. One trillion merit points deducted."
The corners of Lu Changqing's lips curled upward.
Wonderful!
That was an unexpected delight.
Yet the system's sudden generosity made him suspicious.
Given the system's nature, could it be digging a pit for him in secret?
Probably not, right?
Besides, he was exceptionally clever. Even if the system had some scheme, it would be difficult for it to succeed.
All of a sudden, boundless Saintly Might shot into the heavens.
Endless Dao rhythm swept across the Primordial Wilderness.
Ming He was dumbfounded.
How could this be?
How long had he been gone? Someone in Wuji Heaven had already attained the Dao again?
Who was it?
It couldn't possibly be that brat Kong Xuan, could it?!
Absolutely impossible!
That fellow's foundation was still too shallow!
Rumble!
A spatial passage suddenly opened, and King Father of the East, Ran Deng, and Kunpeng arrived together.
"Why has another Sage emerged?"
"Who exactly is it?"
King Father of the East's face was filled with confusion.
Ran Deng and Kunpeng were equally baffled.
What exactly was going on?
They had only gone out for a moment, yet they could no longer understand the situation!
Was there still someone in Wuji Heaven capable of attaining the Dao?
Could it be Fellow Daoist Divine Tree?!
The beings of the Primordial Wilderness were shocked once more.
Heavens!
Wuji Heaven again!
Again?!
The outside world erupted completely.
This was unbearable!
Why was it Wuji Heaven again?!
How many Sages was that already?
Why had someone attained the Dao again?
Were they going to leave anyone else a chance to live?
Those mighty experts painstakingly cultivating toward the Hunyuan realm were all left staring blankly.
What was the point of cultivating anymore?!
No matter how diligently they cultivated, could they match the speed of those people in Wuji Heaven?
They could not even catch a glimpse of their dust!
In such a short time, Wuji Heaven had gained another Sage.
Since when had becoming a Sage become so easy?
"I want to attain the Dao too!"
All beings wept bitterly.
Within Longevity Mountain.
Zhen Yuanzi slammed his palm onto the table and rose. "Is Wuji Heaven trying to cut off everyone else's path of cultivation?!"
"Why has another Sage appeared?!"
At the summit of Western Kunlun.
Queen Mother of the West sighed wistfully.
She had long accumulated enough merit, yet she had never managed to break through.
And someone else had gotten there before her again.
Forget it. This was truly infuriating.
Wuji Heaven simply refused to leave anyone else a way to survive!
How many was that already?
Within the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Tai Yi looked at each other.
"How long has it been? Someone has attained the Dao again."
"The number of Sages in Wuji Heaven is about to surpass the number in the Mystic Sect."
"Our demon race still has not produced a single Sage!"
Tai Yi was deeply worried.
Di Jun was equally helpless. "Unfortunately, you and I are not from Wuji Heaven. Otherwise..."
"I heard that Longevity Immortal Venerable has implemented the Saint Creation Plan. King Father of the East and the others all attained the Dao through it."
After hearing this, Tai Yi felt a surge of longing.
"The Saint Creation Plan?"
"It can create Sages in batches? That is truly enviable."
If they had not borne the heavy responsibility of the demon race, they would have joined Wuji Heaven long ago.
But as Demon Emperors, how could they speak lightly of giving up?
At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches were similarly unsettled.
Becoming a Sage!
Who knew how many epochs it would take through one's own cultivation?
Yet Wuji Heaven kept producing Sages one after another. How could that not make others envious?
When would they finally step into the Hunyuan realm?
Within Eight Sceneries Palace, Laozi's brows furrowed slightly.
Since the Saint Creation Plan was implemented, Sages seemed to have become increasingly common.
Which Sage from Wuji Heaven was this now?
Lu Changqing truly lived up to his reputation as a creator of Sages.
With that boundless merit supporting them, becoming a Sage was indeed as easy as turning one's hand over.
What concerned him more was the identity of the one who had attained the Dao this time.
The other Sages were also secretly speculating.
Who could it be?
Just as the Six Saints were making deductions, another wave of Saintly Might swept across the Primordial Wilderness.
All beings erupted into an uproar once more.
This scene felt all too familiar.
Could Wuji Heaven be producing two Sages in a single day again?
How could this be allowed?!
It was truly impossible to remain calm!
They were envious beyond measure!
"I, Xi He, have now attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit!"
"I, Chang Xi, have now attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit!"
Saintly voices echoed as their declarations resounded throughout the universe.
Heaven and earth of the Primordial Wilderness trembled.
It was the two Lunar Goddess sisters attaining the Dao together!
Xi He and Chang Xi had simultaneously attained Saint positions!
Within the High Heaven Hall of the Heavenly Court, Di Jun abruptly rose to his feet.
He had merely neglected to check in on them for a while, yet two Sages had appeared on the Moon Star?
When had they joined Wuji Heaven? When had they attained Hunyuan?
Within Wuzhuang Temple, the Earth Book in Zhen Yuanzi's hand nearly fell to the ground.
Even Di Jun and Tai Yi becoming Sages would not have shocked him as much as this.
How had the Lunar Goddesses joined Wuji Heaven?
Deep within the chaotic void, the divine senses of the Six Saints intertwined.
They all understood each other's bitterness and helplessness without needing to speak.
They had endured boundless tribulations before attaining Hunyuan.
Yet under Lu Changqing, becoming a Sage was as commonplace as drinking water.
How many Sages was that already?
Nuwa's delicate brows knit together. "Why has becoming a Sage in Wuji Heaven become so easy?"
"Two more Sages have appeared in the blink of an eye?"
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged bitter smiles.
Since when had becoming a Sage become such child's play?
What divine ability did Lu Changqing possess?
Tongtian suddenly spoke. "I know a little about it."
"I personally saw Fellow Daoist Changqing casually bestow Primordial Violet Qi and boundless merit. That was how Ming He became a Sage."
The moment he said this, all the Sages were shocked.
They had long known that Lu Changqing possessed immeasurable merit.
Even distributing hundreds of millions of merit points would not have been surprising.
But that Primordial Violet Qi...
How could such a thing be ordinary?
Just how many strands of Primordial Violet Qi did he have?
Could he truly create Sages without end?
That number had already surpassed what the Dao Ancestor had bestowed back then!
At the summit of Longevity Mountain.
Hong Yun arrived riding a cloud.
Zhen Yuanzi clapped his hands. "Excellent timing, worthy brother. Quickly come with me to Wuji Heaven!"
Hong Yun laughed heartily. "Just what I had in mind!"
The two exchanged smiles, their thoughts perfectly aligned.
To attain the Primordial Unity, one could only seek an opportunity in Wuji Heaven.
Otherwise, who knew who the next to become a Sage would be?
That feeling was truly unbearable.
Within Wuji Heaven Palace.
After Xi He and Chang Xi made their proclamation to Heaven and Earth, they gracefully returned.
The two women bowed deeply. "Thank you, Immortal Venerable, for your grace."
"During the ten-thousand-year agreement, we will certainly serve you wholeheartedly."
Lu Changqing nodded slightly.
Ming He was stunned when he heard this.
A ten-thousand-year agreement?
Did that mean they could leave once the term expired?
King Father of the East and the others also looked confused.
After Kong Xuan explained in a low voice, Ming He's eyes immediately widened.
They could actually agree on a time limit?
Why had he not received such treatment back then?
King Father of the East teased, "What, are you planning to leave once the agreement expires?"
Ming He said solemnly, "Don't spout nonsense!"
"My loyalty to the Immortal Venerable is as clear as the sun and moon!"
How could he possibly leave Wuji Heaven?
Such a powerful backer was impossible to find a second time in the Primordial Wilderness.
It was just that...
Why were Xi He and Chang Xi's terms so generous?
Could it be because of their looks?
Ming He muttered to himself, In the Immortal Venerable's eyes, are we really inferior to two women?
They only have slightly better bearing and somewhat prettier faces, that's all!
The moment he said this, everyone gave him meaningful looks.
Whether that was true or not, didn't he know better than anyone?
Faced with rugged men every day versus being accompanied by peerless fairy maidens, which would he choose?
Ming He immediately felt awkward.
Lu Changqing glanced at King Father of the East. "The Lunar Goddesses possess such extraordinary grace. Now look at those female immortals you brought back."
"How can the two be compared?"
King Father of the East laughed sheepishly.
Could he be blamed for this?
How many in the Primordial Wilderness possessed the lineage and beauty of the Lunar Goddesses?
The Immortal Venerable's standards were simply too high!
Naturally, he did not dare say that aloud.
Ming He suddenly had an idea and said with a fawning smile, "If the Immortal Venerable merely wants something pleasing to the eye, I can serve that purpose as well."
With that, he transformed into a peerlessly beautiful fairy maiden.
Lu Changqing's body instantly stiffened.
He felt his blood surge backward, and his vision went dark.
Could that possibly be the same?!
Even if the face was incomparably beautiful, once he thought of Ming He's old face beneath it...
His stomach immediately churned violently.
He had never felt so disgusted before!
Ming He continued, "If the Immortal Venerable does not like this appearance..."
"I can also take on a more seductive form!"
After speaking, he transformed again into a bewitching female immortal.
Xi He and Chang Xi's delicate bodies trembled.
It was an assault on the eyes!
The two women hurriedly covered their faces with their sleeves.
Lu Changqing's arm was already trembling slightly.
Was this bastard challenging the limits of his patience?!
Kunpeng keenly sensed that something was wrong and quietly pulled King Father of the East back.
"Something's wrong. Retreat, quickly."
Ming He finally noticed the killing intent in Lu Changqing's eyes.
This was bad!
Just as he was about to dodge, he heard an angry roar:
"Spear, come!"
The God-Slaying Spear tore through the air.
"If I don't stab you to death today, then I'm no Lu Changqing!"
Ming He screamed and fled.
"Trying to run? Thousand-Year Kill!!"
The God-Slaying Spear became a streak of light.
"Aooow—!!!"
A miserable scream echoed throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
Cultivators across the heavens were all stunned.
Wasn't that the voice of Sage Ming He?
Why was he screaming so miserably?
After Laozi and the other Sages probed with their divine senses, they all felt a chill run down their backs.
Their expressions immediately became extraordinarily colorful.
Good heavens...
They had known each other for so many years, yet they never knew Lu Changqing had such a preference?!
That was far too terrifying!
Within Wuji Heaven.
Ming He's screams gradually faded.
His face was twisted, and he walked with difficulty.
Every step made him bare his teeth in pain.
King Father of the East and the other two stood some distance away, watching with gloating smiles.
Ming He had really brought this upon himself this time!
Trying to pull such tricks before Great Master,
he deserved this suffering.
Yet seeing how wretched he looked,
the three of them felt a little pity for him.
After all, Ming He had only wanted to please Great Master,
but he had merely made things worse.
Inside the hall.
After teaching Ming He a lesson, Lu Changqing felt thoroughly refreshed.
That annoying fellow
had finally given him an opportunity to deal with him.
Kong Xuan watched from the side with lingering fear,
quietly warning himself to choose the right moment when flattering someone.
Otherwise, he would end up as miserably as Ming He.
"Congratulations, Great Master. Wuji Heaven has gained two more Sages!"
"There are now seven Sages."
Kong Xuan congratulated him with a smile plastered across his face.
In merely ten thousand years,
Wuji Heaven had actually become comparable to the Mystic Gate!
Thinking of this, Kong Xuan could not help but feel envious—
Others attained the Primordial Unity so easily;
when would he finally make a breakthrough?
Lu Changqing, however, was not very satisfied.
Only seven Sages in ten thousand years—
the pace was far too slow.
"Seven is nowhere near enough."
"There should be at least a hundred and eighty before it looks respectable."
He said it casually.
Kong Xuan was dumbfounded on the spot.
A hundred and eighty Sages?
They were not cabbages!
King Father of the East and the other two had just entered the hall when they heard this,
and they were equally shocked.
Great Master truly was extraordinary;
every word he spoke was earth-shaking.
"Why are you still here?"
"You should be out creating worlds!"
The moment Lu Changqing saw the three return, he immediately urged them onward.
King Father of the East and the other two were on the verge of tears.
They had just finished opening up a batch of worlds
and had not even caught their breath!
"Great Master, we truly can't hold on any longer."
"Could you let us rest for a while?"
The three pleaded pitifully.
Even the Three Pure Ones had stopped working to rest;
they really could not endure any longer.
Lu Changqing thought about it and agreed.
They really should be allowed to recover.
"Thank you, Great Master!"
The three were overjoyed.
At last, they could properly absorb the merit they had accumulated over these days.
Lu Changqing, however, had no desire to cultivate.
Cultivation was such a waste of time;
he would rather squander all his merit.
He needed to find something fun to do.
He suddenly thought of mahjong—
it was perfect for passing the time.
He immediately refined a set of mahjong tiles
and summoned Xi He, Chang Xi, and Kong Xuan.
"This is called mahjong."
"I'll teach you how to play."
Kong Xuan muttered to himself.
Before you continue
