Let Your True Self Come! The Bottom Line of Incompetence

Laozi and Yuanshi were completely devastated. The moment they saw the Golden Crow, they finally understood why the Yuanfeng had suddenly become so fierce.

It turns out that Ling Xiao was behind all of this.

"Ling Xiao! We haven't provoked you, do you even want to interfere in this matter?" Yuanshi shouted in a panic.

There was no response. The Golden Crow streaked across the sky and arrived in an instant, crushing Yuanshi's head with a single grab.

It spewed forth a raging inferno, igniting the remnants of Yuanshi. Under the true fire, it burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

Seeing his second brother die before his eyes filled the Laozi with shock and rage. "Ling Xiao! You think you can turn the world upside down with just Dao Fire clone? Unless your true form comes!"

A vast amount of magical power surged forth, and Laozi roared as he unleashed his full power to kill the Golden Crow.

This was not Ling Xiao's true form; he didn't believe he couldn't even handle Dao Fire.

"Thump..."

The Golden Crow swooped down and with a flap of its wings swept Laozi away. The two fought a fierce battle that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Heh... Ling Xiao! This single divine fire clone is not enough to defeat me!"

"I beg you to come in your true form!"

Laozi Tzu laughed loudly, letting out a great shout, his body radiating a vast and terrifying aura.

All the powerful beings in the world were amazed. Laozi's aura at this moment was truly worthy of being the head of the Three Pure Ones.

They even dared to boast that they wanted the true form of Dao Venerable Ling Xiao come.

What a grand vision!

This sheer audacity alone surpasses that of any other Sage.

The next moment, the Golden Crow let out a long roar and charged towards Laozi, divine fire erupted, and blood splattered everywhere.

Laozi's head was smashed, and Ling Xiao did the same, killing him as swiftly as Yuanshi.

The world paled in shock; those who had just moments before thought Laozi radiant and charismatic were all rendered speechless.

All that boasting was for nothing; the Three Pure Ones remained the same, bringing them no surprises.

Yuanfeng stared in shock, her gaze shifting with complex emotions.

Ling Xiao almost killed her back then, but in the end, he left behind an even more powerful seed, which gave her the chance to be reborn.

At that time, Ling Xiao had not even advanced to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

But now, Dao Fire clone is enough to kill Sage.

Over time, Ling Xiao grew powerful enough to rival the Dao Ancestor, while she was unable to attain Nirvana and prove her Dao because her Nirvana was disrupted.

Thinking of this, Yuanfeng sighed softly and shook her head helplessly.

Tired, let's Destruction it.

Just then, Ling Xiao's large hand grabbed Yuanfeng and lifted her up.

"What... what are you going to do?" Yuan asked in a panic. She was just complaining in her heart; there was no need to take it seriously, was there?

Having clung to life for so long, she certainly didn't want to actually die!

Ling Xiao did not respond, and grabbed Yuanfeng, disappearing into the world. After they left, the South Ablaze Volcano immediately subsided.

"Laozi and Yuanshi have gone again. They've done such a poor job of what their teacher entrusted to them. Let's see how they explain themselves!"

Above the clouds in the Eastern Wasteland, Zhun Ti said with a mocking smile, "You can't even give away the Primordial Violet Qi. The Dao Ancestor Jidu have fainted from anger."

The Yuanshi's actions are truly outrageous; how could a fight even break out like this?

He really couldn't understand it.

If you can't even handle this small matter properly, you're not just useless, you're utterly useless.

If they were to handle it, it would be absolutely foolproof and done perfectly.

"Laozi and Yuanshi must have fallen about the same number of times as us, right?" Jieyin suddenly said, realizing this.

"No...we should still have more," Zhun Ti retorted, revealing his strange competitive spirit and desire to win.

Jieyin glanced at him speechlessly and said, "We should leave this place first, lest we be targeted by that madman Ling Xiao."

Zhun Ti, and the two figures disappeared from the spot.

At the East Sea Eye, the Ancestral Dragon frowned, his expression somewhat grim.

Laozi and Yuanshi couldn't even defeat Dao Fire clone of Ling Xiao, which made him deeply suspicious that there might be something wrong with this Heavenly Dao Sage.

Why is it so weak and frail?

I feel like I've been completely scammed!

In particular, Ling Xiao's act of capturing Yuanfeng puzzled Ancestral Dragon. What was he going to do with her?

"Won't Ling Xiao come to kill us?"

Ancestral Dragon suddenly realized that, after all, by taking the Primordial Violet Qi, he was essentially standing on the opposite side.

"No, I need to hide first!"

"Gulp..."

The Ancestral Dragon dived into the Sea Eye and dared not show its face.

Purple Heaven Palace.

Hongjun was somewhat numb, speechless, and didn't know what to say.

He never imagined that Laozi and Yuanshi would be so outrageous, unable to even deliver the Primordial Violet Qi and the position of Saint for free.

He even got into a fight, and in the end, he got completely destroyed.

They keep pushing the boundaries of incompetence.

Hongjun had no doubt that there was nothing in this world that they couldn't mess up.

After a brief silence, Hongjun used two Heavenly Dao Origins to revive Laozi and Yuanshi.

After this period of depletion, the Heavenly Dao's essence is truly running low and could be completely drained at any moment.

"By then..."

Hongjun pondered, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. Just then, Laozi and Yuanshi were resurrected.

The two emerged from the depths of the Purple Heaven Palace, their faces filled with remorse, not daring to look at the Dao Ancestor's expression.

"Teacher, we have failed in our duties. Please punish us!"

The two approached, performed the traditional disciple's salute, and said with expressions of shame.

"Get up," Hongjun said calmly, his face expressionless, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

This greatly surprised Laozi and Yuanshi, as the Dao Ancestor's reaction was far too calm.

Has the grief outweighed the despair, leaving them utterly heartbroken?

They were slightly flustered; the Dao Ancestor's reaction sent chills down their spines, making them suspicious and paranoid.

Realizing he had made a grave mistake, Yuanshi quickly cupped his hands in apology and said, "Master, I did not realize that Yuanfeng was Ling Xiao's pawn. I miscalculated."

"Please, teacher, give your disciple a chance to make amends and find a more suitable candidate."

He spoke earnestly with a remorseful expression, specifically mentioning that he didn't know the relationship between Yuanfeng and Ling Xiao, which was also an attempt to distance himself from them.

"Teacher, please give us a chance to atone for our sins!" Laozi chimed in, his heart filled with anger and resentment. If Yuanshi weren't his own brother, he would have slapped him to death long ago.

More trouble than they're worth.

A perfectly good task was ruined in the end, all because of his arrogance.

After a moment of silence, Hongjun spoke calmly, "Yuanfeng's foundation is broken, which means she is not qualified to become Heavenly Dao Sage."

"I will no longer concern myself with this matter. You may arrange the last holy position yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Thank you for your kindness, teacher!" the two said, bowing respectfully with gratitude.

When they stepped out of the Purple Heaven Palace again, they were full of vigor and looked completely refreshed.

This is truly a blessing in disguise!

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao's divine fire clone carried Yuanfeng back to Penglai Immortal Island.

"Ling Xiao... Dao Venerable, why did you bring me here?"

Yuanfeng asked with a look of surprise and doubt, not understanding Ling Xiao's intentions, which made her very flustered.
