Chapter 710: Chapter 517: Choice_2
"Bai Yu, you..."
"What about me? You want to use my things without wanting to pay! There’s no such good deal under the heavens! I’m telling you straight today, if you want to use the Jade Wave Immortal Ship, then you have to repay all the resources you owe me over the years. If not, don’t even think of using this Jade Wave Immortal Ship, not today, not ever! Not a chance!"
"You... you... are simply unreasonable!"
"Exactly, Nephew Bai Yu, your words are too much. What do you mean, your Jade Wave Immortal Ship? That is clearly the ancestral property of the Sect, merely entrusted to you for use. How did it become your private property in your words?"
"Exactly, exactly..."
A group of Longevity True Monarchs began simultaneously, either genuinely or falsely, to speak with sarcasm to Bai Yu, implying that Bai Yu didn’t care about the bigger picture.
Do they really think so in their hearts?
Qiluo, watching from the side, rolled her eyes.
This whole crowd is acting!
Including this little demon Bai Yu too!
Borrowing the Jade Wave Immortal Ship is just an excuse. Even without this ship, could this group of Longevity True Monarchs really be unable to deal with a little sea serpent hiding in the Endless Sea, afraid to show its head?
That little sea serpent isn’t even in the Longevity Realm!!!
But still, as the saying goes, Ci Yun doesn’t really have good relations in the Immortal Ascension Sect; people genuinely don’t want to risk time and effort and resources to rescue someone. The previous meeting with Yimiao was just a show of solidarity for others to see, just so that someone won’t hold it against them in the future.
Yesterday, it was Brother Fang Hui’s meteor hammer. A group said they wanted to use the meteor hammer as the core of an Immortal Array, to directly fish that sea serpent out of the Endless Sea. Fang Hui naturally refused; otherwise, today’s situation wouldn’t have occurred.
And today, it’s Bai Yu’s turn to be the scapegoat, finding an excuse for everyone to avoid going to sea, preventing them from having to genuinely risk their lives against that sea serpent.
In the end, the difficulty lies in two points: Ci Yun’s reputation is truly bad, and going to sea to fight a sea serpent wielding Sea Divinity is somewhat challenging to these Longevity True Monarchs’ intelligence and how they conduct themselves.
Risking their lives at sea with a sea serpent?
Why don’t you say to go to Emperor’s Peak and fight with Yimiao?
Whoever really did that would be a fool!
Disinclined as they are, they still have to make a show of saving people.
These Longevity True Monarchs going out from the Immortal Ascension Sect are just minor characters, and although they are also True Monarchs, compared to the old guys in the Sect, they are inferior in both age and experience.
If they are unwilling to even make this gesture, when they return to the Sect, if the old guys hold them accountable, someone among them will definitely be in trouble.
Nobody wants to get into trouble, so they have to go through the motions, and upon returning to the Sect, when the old guys ask questions, everyone will just blame each other.
You say he didn’t contribute the meteor hammer, he says you didn’t contribute the Celestial Measuring Ruler, then both accuse Bai Yu of not contributing the Jade Wave Immortal Ship, and Bai Yu will then pass the buck to others.
If one person has a problem, it’s your fault. But if everyone has a problem, then no one is wrong; it’s just that ’the timing is not right’.
This method can be said to be truly sophisticated in the art of making excuses, as smooth as can be.
As for Ci Yun’s opinion on the matter at hand?
Will he hold a grudge over this?
Who cares!
A group of Longevity True Monarchs thus blamed each other for another day, and in the end, no one actually said they would go to sea.
When night fell, they left, cursing under their breaths as they went.
Uh... what can I say!
Anyway, Uerman, the great sea serpent shivering at the sea bottom for a whole day, was completely bewildered.
They said they would come to reclaim its divinity, but this group of outsiders has been quarreling at sea for two days now, yet not a single wave has arisen!
So should it flee or not?
After hesitating for a long time, the great sea serpent turned its head and swam towards the deeper trenches of the Endless Sea, eventually deciding not to leave, playing dead at the sea bottom, since these outsiders seem unlikely to reach any conclusion anytime soon!
As for why it doesn’t seize the chance to flee?
Run?
Where could it go?
Now, outside, numerous strong beings are fighting amidst chaos, whether legendary or demigod, all eyes are on any easily attainable divinity. A being like it, which already has a Low-level Divine Format of sea, waiting for the path to godhood to fully open and become a mildly stronger demigod, shouldn’t go out there to get its head chopped off, right!
Quietly hiding at the sea bottom of the Endless Sea and waiting for the outside great beings to sort out priorities is Uerman’s only chance for success, right!
Run for what!
...
The situation in the Cosmic Realm right now is chaotic beyond human comprehension.
Even demigods of slightly weaker power like Uerman dare not show themselves at this time.
The real protagonists are those ancient legends, strong demigods, or those who hold both identities, strong enough to match True Gods without doubt!
Just like a certain unlucky legendary Flame Dragon, inexplicably stripped of its Flame Divinity, now scouring the world for any clue of a Divine Format related to the Flame Tao. Whatever the discovery, true or false, this dragon, whose future has suddenly run short, would charge madly towards it, trying every means to obtain a Divine Format!
This is really sad.
Before being stripped of its Flame Divinity, with the dual blessing of legendary and demigod status, and possessing the physique of a dragon, its power was hardly inferior to Bai Yu and others in the Longevity Realm when in the Celestial Profound Realm!
The only thing it lacked was a rank related to Flame.
But now, with the Great Venerable of Fire’s Flame Divine Format being fused by someone, and the newly born Flame God reclaiming the wandering divinity, this Flame Dragon has fallen from one of the strongest beings in this world to the bottom of the first tier, even possibly descending to the second tier due to aging.
What’s worse, if it can’t find a divinity related to flames within a century, this Flame Flame Dragon will die of old age....
Changing from He to it... how tragic is that?
Without experiencing such despair firsthand, it’s impossible to understand.
"Damn it! Roar!!! As great as I am! It is impossible for me to fall in such matters!!!"
The dragon’s roar echoed across half the Central Ring Desert, and its wings that had once glowed with crimson flames degraded to pitch-black, as though a doomsday cloud, the dragon surveilled everything related to the Flame Divine Format from above the clouds.
It sensed something.
Near the Central Ring Desert, there are not just one but several Divine Formats related to flames, and it seems the aura of that lucky one who inherited the Flame Divine Format of the Great Venerable of Flame is present!
This made the blood of the Flame Flame Dragon boil, rekindling the ambitions it shouldn’t have.
The fall to the end of the first tier had cost it the chance to ascend to the Ancient God Realm in the heavens above, to compete for those higher Divine Formats, and it lost the opportunity to become the successor to the Great Venerable of Flame, one of the five supremes in the Cosmic Realm.
But now.
It seems that this opportunity has come back to it, perhaps it might even come true in one step?
"Damn it! As long as I can devour you! As long as I can devour you.... Roar!!!"
The Flame Dragon’s irate roar reverberated continuously over the desert, causing countless lives hiding in the sand to shiver.
The weak cannot defeat it; appearing would mean certain death.
The strong are disinclined to provoke it. Whether they can win or not is one thing, but even if they do, why risk their life against an old dragon on the brink of death?
What if they provoke it beyond redemption, and it insists on taking them down as well?!
Forget it, let it boast for a while.
When the new Flame God, who inherited the Flame Divine Format of the Great Venerable of Flame, steps forward to deal with this not-so-clear-headed dragon, it’s settled.
