“They are both eyeing it covetously. With me here to suppress them, they can only behave themselves.”
“But what if one day I leave? What will you do then? Many people are watching your position.”
The Old guy looked at Meng Yun, feeling a sense of disappointment.
Meng Yun had a good Heart-Nature and high talent; he had watched him grow up, and it was he who had single-handedly pushed him into the Sect Master position.
However, to his disappointment, even now, Meng Yun lacked the decisiveness to keep the people below him in check.
The Old guy, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, still had the Heart-Nature of a child. Whenever something happened, he would come to him for advice, completely disregarding his own status.
There were some things he simply couldn't see clearly.
Listening to the Old guy's teachings, Meng Yun could only lower his head obediently and listen.
“Grandmaster, your Cultivation is profound, and your Lifespan is boundless.”
“Silly child, there is nothing truly eternal in this world. The immortality we Cultivators pursue is merely an illusion.”
“Even the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will have a day when it shatters, so how can we seek that immortality?”
“I have already seen it; my end is near. I don’t have much time left to live, and the time I can protect you is growing shorter.”
“Therefore, I need you to make a change now. Show the decisiveness befitting a Sect Master, let them see, let all the Disciples of the Sect acknowledge you.”
“Then, even if I leave, no one will dare to depose you, not even those two.”
Hearing the Old guy’s words, Meng Yun raised his head to look at the Old guy, his face filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe that the Grandmaster who had watched him grow up would also have a day when his end was near. For so many years, he had long regarded the Old guy as his only family.
At this moment, even though Meng Yun was a Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master, his nose couldn't help but sting.
“Grandmaster…”
“Silly child, I watched you grow up, and I know your character. This time is a catalyst. If you can stand out in this great tribulation, let alone Breakthrough to the He Dao Stage, this Ancient God Sect will truly be your domain.”
“So, you can no longer act as you did before, do you understand?”
After the Old guy finished speaking, his eyes burned as he looked at Meng Yun.
“Grandmaster, I understand.”
Meng Yun said softly, his expression incomparably sad.
“Good, now that you understand, go and do it. Let me see.”
After the Old guy finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Meng Yun’s figure instantly disappeared.
“I hope that in my remaining days, you can truly stand up, child. Time is running out for you.”
“Pfft.”
The next moment, the Old guy's expression suddenly changed, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. The blood contained black corrosiveness, and in an instant, the entire ground was corroded into a large pit by the blood.
However, at this moment, two terrifyingly powerful Qi began to slowly rise from both sides of the Ancient God Sect.
“Hmph, this Old guy is still alive. Behave yourselves!”
The Old guy’s expression changed, and he slammed the stone table beside him, roaring angrily.
And after the Old guy finished speaking, the terrifying Qi that had risen immediately disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
“Cough, cough.”
The Old guy covered his mouth, coughing continuously. At this moment, he no longer seemed like the omnipotent Combined Dao Stage True Lord, but rather like an Old guy on the verge of death, wanting to see his child achieve something one last time.
