#873 - As long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down
Zhen Yuanzi could feel a crucial source of power within his body being abruptly severed!
Then suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi saw the talisman in his arms shatter. His eyes widened, his pupils trembling!
Something was wrong!
Something terrible was wrong!
Just now, Zhen Yuanzi felt the Ginseng Fruit Tree being toppled!
Zhen Yuanzi's entire life of cultivation was tied to the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
If the Ginseng Fruit Tree were to be toppled, not only would Zhen Yuanzi's path to becoming a saint be destroyed, but he himself would suffer a severe backlash!
Sure enough, in the next second, Zhen Yuanzi felt as if his heart had exploded within him, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood!
The blood shot out over ten feet, even landing in front of the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
Zhen Yuanzi's forty-six disciples suddenly reacted, and upon seeing their master suddenly vomiting blood, they rushed over in a flurry, helping Zhen Yuanzi up.
"Master, what's wrong, Master!"
"Master, why did you suddenly vomit blood while listening to the Dao? What's going on!"
"Master, are you alright?"
Only then did the Primeval Lord of Heaven stop preaching, slowly opening his eyes. Seeing Zhen Yuanzi in this state, he said calmly:
"Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, are you alright?"
Zhen Yuanzi's path to enlightenment was based on the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Now that the tree had fallen, Zhen Yuanzi felt his cultivation plummeting!
The first thing Zhen Yuanzi thought of was that someone had taken advantage of his absence to attack his home, and he was about to curse out loud.
But before Zhen Yuanzi could speak, another mouthful of blood gushed out.
"Ugh!!!"
Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation rapidly declined.
He was originally a Supreme Great Power, but now his cultivation was falling rapidly, quickly dropping out of the seventh stage of Quasi-Sage.
And with unabated momentum, it continued to regress rapidly.
It wasn't until it fell to the middle stage of Quasi-Sage that the Primeval Lord of Heaven seemed to react.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven quickly took action to stop the speed of Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation decline, allowing Zhen Yuanzi to retain his middle-stage Quasi-Sage realm.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven frowned, looking at Zhen Yuanzi with great concern.
"Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, what exactly happened? Why has your cultivation regressed so drastically?"
Although Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation had been saved, his heart was filled with grief and rage!
His first thought was that he had been tricked by the Primeval Lord of Heaven. He had used this tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain to secretly topple his Ginseng Fruit Tree!
But Zhen Yuanzi was also very clear that the person in front of him was a Saint, and he had already fallen out of the ranks of Supreme Great Powers.
To put it bluntly, his current cultivation was probably not even as good as the disciples around the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
Although Zhen Yuanzi suspected that the Primeval Lord of Heaven had used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain to topple the Ginseng Fruit Tree, given Zhen Yuanzi's personality and current situation, it was not appropriate to question him.
At least, he was completely unworthy now!
Zhen Yuanzi's face was gloomy, filled with rage.
"My Ginseng Fruit Tree has been toppled by villains!"
As soon as Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, there was an uproar.
The faces of Zhen Yuanzi's forty-six disciples were filled with horror.
How could they not know how important the Ginseng Fruit Tree was to their master? Toppling it was basically cutting off Zhen Yuanzi's path to enlightenment!
Even the Primeval Lord of Heaven's brow furrowed instantly, his expression as cold as frost.
"Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you and I have always been good friends. It is truly malicious that villains took advantage of your coming to listen to the Dao to topple the Ginseng Fruit Tree!"
"Don't worry, Daoist friend. Allow me to rewind time and capture the villains who toppled the Ginseng Fruit Tree!"
The Primeval Lord of Heaven's face showed anger, looking like a good friend doing his best for his friend.
However, when the Primeval Lord of Heaven pretended to rewind time, he could not see a trace of the past or future.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven was shocked.
"How could this be? Within the Three Realms and Six Paths, there is actually someone who can prevent my detection?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. He strongly suspected that the Primeval Lord of Heaven was putting on an act.
But there was no way around it. Now he was under someone else's roof and had to bow his head.
Zhen Yuanzi hid the resentment in his heart, but gritted his teeth and said:
"In any case, Primeval Lord of Heaven, my Wuzhuang Temple has suffered this calamity, and I will not be able to listen to the Mixed Origin Dao Fruit."
"Disciples, quickly follow me back to the temple!"
Zhen Yuanzi's disciples all stood up, but Zhen Yuanzi's eldest disciple, Yu Yuanzi, did not stand up.
This was Zhen Yuanzi's most beloved disciple. When the Ginseng Fruits ripened, he gave one of the two fruits to him, which showed how much Zhen Yuanzi loved him.
He was also the disciple with the highest cultivation among Zhen Yuanzi's disciples, already approaching the realm of High-level Great Power, just one step away.
Now that Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation had regressed, he was actually inferior to this eldest disciple.
Yu Yuanzi's expression was calm, and he remained respectfully:
"Master, don't panic. Now that the Ginseng Fruit Tree has fallen, it is useless for us to return."
"Just now, while listening to the Mixed Origin Dao Fruit, I also had some insights. As the saying goes, a gentleman helps others achieve their goals. I want to listen more to the Primeval Lord of Heaven here and strive to break through as soon as possible."
"When that time comes, Master, I will be able to help you, won't I?"
Yu Yuanzi was still humble and respectful when he spoke,
But Zhen Yuanzi had already understood what he meant between the lines.
Yu Yuanzi knew that his master's strength and cultivation had fallen even lower than his own, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven had already shown him great favor.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven never poached disciples randomly. He always adhered to the philosophy of valuing quality over quantity, preferring to have fewer but better disciples.
Although Yu Yuanzi was treated with great love and care under Zhen Yuanzi, the resources were insufficient. Now Yu Yuanzi was only one step away from becoming a Supreme Great Power.
What was the love of a middle-stage Quasi-Sage worth?
If he could become a disciple under a Saint, his cultivation breakthrough would be just around the corner!
Yu Yuanzi respectfully bowed to the Primeval Lord of Heaven, even performing the disciple's bow.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven smiled and stroked his beard.
"No need to be so polite."
Yu Yuanzi smiled slightly, smiling so joyfully that even Zhen Yuanzi was stunned.
Back in the ancient times, Yu Yuanzi was chased and killed from the Spirit Mountain of Primordial Jade Marrow, almost becoming someone else's cultivation nourishment, but fortunately, he was rescued by Zhen Yuanzi.
When he joined his sect at that time, Yu Yuanzi also smiled so joyfully.
Betrayal!
It came so suddenly!
Another mouthful of blood rushed to Zhen Yuanzi's heart, gushing out!
Yu Yuanzi did not dodge or avoid it, letting Zhen Yuanzi's blood splatter in front of him, splashing on his body.
Yu Yuanzi still smiled respectfully and gently, just like a jade-like virtuous gentleman.
Zhen Yuanzi fell to the ground, weakly raising his hand, pointing at the Primeval Lord of Heaven,
He now knew why the Primeval Lord of Heaven would make a big show of agreeing to join forces with the Western Heavens to attack him.
It turned out that the Primeval Lord of Heaven had taken a fancy to his disciple, whom he had nurtured for many years!
