234. Chapter 234 One Month Period!
"What is there to discuss? We have thirty-nine saints simultaneously attacking. Can't we handle one Liu Zimo?"
"Yes, everyone may be overly cautious. Liu Zimo is just a young child, relying on his identity as the Son of Qi Yun to comprehend twenty great Dao laws in advance."
"At such a young age, possessing such strength, he must be arrogant and inexperienced in actual combat. He's easy to deal with!"
"In my opinion, if all of us descend upon Luo Prefecture, even if we don't directly attack, just releasing our saintly pressure will suppress him on the spot!"
"Fellow Daoist Shangyang is absolutely right. He's just the Son of Qi Yun. Every era has one, but how many can truly grow?"
"In my view, Liu Zimo is also destined for an early death!"
"..."
In the "Chat Group," under the guidance of Kong Sheng and several other elders, everyone eagerly spoke.
Most of these ancient saints didn't pay much attention to Liu Zimo.
They believed that with their numbers, thirty-nine saints attacking simultaneously, who in this world could withstand it?
It should be noted that even though Liu Zimo comprehended twenty great Dao laws, his cultivation realm was still at the quasi-saint level, not yet stepping into the transcendent realm.
Without becoming a saint, he lacked a saintly body and saintly thoughts. Compared to a true saint, his physical body and divine soul were simply weak.
As long as they could find a way to restrain the power of the laws, Liu Zimo would be nothing more than a fish on a chopping board, not worth mentioning.
Hearing these people's reckless remarks, Liu Zimo narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't as angry as imagined.
In his eyes, all these people were just leeks, and he didn't need to be angry for a few leeks that were about to be harvested.
Moreover, among these thirty-nine saints, thirteen had already secretly transmitted messages to him.
The remaining twenty-six people hadn't even noticed being betrayed and stabbed in the back, truly foolish.
Thinking like this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Tian Di Academy.
Liu Zimo knew very well that the reason these saints were behaving so foolishly and slowly wasn't because they were truly as dumb as pigs, ignorant of the treacherousness of human hearts.
It was because, just like Liu Zimo, they never expected that Kong Sheng, the Confucius of the Tian Di Academy, would have such thoughts and become a traitor at the very beginning of their conspiracy.
It must be noted that the ultimate beneficiary of the plan to destroy Liu Zimo was none other than Kong Sheng of the Tian Di Academy.
Once Liu Zimo died, Kong Sheng, the most powerful saint in the realm of true saints, would not only become the leader of the saints but also occupy the majority of the heavenly opportunities in the upcoming great changes in the world.
So those saints who were chatting in the "Chat Group," even in their dreams, couldn't have imagined.
The leader of the alliance they had elected, the one most likely to monopolize the great opportunities of the Dao after Liu Zimo's demise, Confucius of the Tian Di Academy.
He was the first to choose surrender and completely betray them!
In fact, not only them, but even Liu Zimo couldn't fully understand it.
Why did Kong Sheng have such confidence in him?
Normally speaking, what those ancient true saints said was not wrong.
Without reaching the realm of true saints, without transcending the ordinary, even if one comprehended twenty great Dao laws, they would still only be a quasi-saint.
With thirty-nine true saints attacking simultaneously, dealing with a top-level quasi-saint would undoubtedly be a sure victory.
But this Confucius and the other twelve true saints in the group, why did they show goodwill towards Liu Zimo in advance?
"Could it be that they have already discovered that I have taken the path of breaking through with strength, and my true strength has long surpassed that of ordinary true saints?"
As soon as this thought arose, Liu Zimo immediately shook his head and denied it.
"No, it's highly unlikely."
"I have never revealed to anyone the method of breaking through the realm with force, and before, Yao Lingling also said that breaking through the realm with force only exists in theory. Throughout history, no one has ever succeeded!"
"The Illusory Demon Realm is like this, and the Earth Realm is likely the same. These people are unlikely to guess my method of breaking through!"
"But if it's not for this reason, then what is it for?"
Liu Zimo frowned, not quite understanding.
Swish!
With a thought, Liu Zimo directly teleported to the Kong Sheng Hall in the Tian Di Academy.
Kong Sheng, who was chatting in the "Chat Group" with the various saints, trembled when he saw Liu Zimo suddenly appear in front of him, and quickly stood up and saluted Liu Zimo.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, please accept my respects!"
"Master, please accept my respects!"
Liu Zimo returned the salute with a fist, without much courtesy, and directly asked Kong Sheng the question in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Kong Sheng lightly shook the goose feather fan in his hand and calmly said,
"It's simple, because I, like Saint Liu, have a greater expectation for Fellow Daoist Liu's future!"
"We saints have lived for tens of thousands of years, but we have never been able to fully comprehend the secrets of the Great Dao here, and Ascension is hopeless."
"Even if the Great Dao is revived and the laws are overflowing, I don't think I, or the other true saints, can seize the opportunity to Ascend in one day."
"Our generation has completely lost hope. What we are doing now is just struggling to survive and make a final struggle!"
"But Fellow Daoist Liu is different. You are still young, not only with extraordinary comprehension, but also with great opportunities and luck!"
"If we talk about who in the Earth Realm has really been able to take the final step, to break through and Ascend to the legendary Transcendent Realm, I think it must be Fellow Daoist Liu!"
It's because of the Transcendent Realm again!
Liu Zimo understood in his heart when he heard this.
The same words were mentioned by Saint Liu when he joined forces with Liu Zimo.
Unexpectedly, this Kongzi also chose to stand on Liu Zimo's side for the same reason.
It can be seen that these ancient saints have an extraordinary obsession with the Transcendent Realm!
In order to catch a glimpse of the true face of the Transcendent Realm, they are not only willing to attach themselves to a young junior in advance, but even hesitate to betray their fellow true saints of the same era.
What they want is for Liu Zimo, when he has the opportunity to break through and Ascend in the future, to take them along and bring them to the Transcendent Realm.
Although Liu Zimo couldn't quite understand why these people were so persistent.
But this did not prevent Liu Zimo from accepting the goodwill and benefits delivered by Kong Sheng and other true saints with a clear conscience.
If there's a bargain to be had, why not take advantage of it?
Moreover, these people are his "good brothers" and "good sisters". If there is a real opportunity to help them, Liu Zimo naturally wouldn't mind.
After all, if they obtain corresponding opportunities and benefits, Liu Zimo can also share half of the opportunities and benefits, a win-win situation, why not?
"Good!"
Liu Zimo spoke loudly,
"If one day I really have the opportunity to break through and Ascend, and can bring people into the Transcendent Realm, I will definitely bring Saint Sun with me!"
Seeing Liu Zimo make this promise, Kong Sheng couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face.
Although the saying "when one person achieves enlightenment, even chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven" is just a rumor passed down from ancient times to the present, it may not be true.
However, like the sage Liu Yuansheng, he is still willing to take a gamble regardless of everything.
After all, having completely lost hope in his own Ascension in this lifetime, he has nothing left to lose.
Placing his last hope on Liu Zimo is only for the sake of seeking psychological comfort, to gamble on a slim chance!
What if Liu Zimo really succeeds?
What if they can truly follow in Liu Zimo's footsteps and achieve enlightenment, allowing even chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven?
Swish!
With a thought, Kong Sheng voluntarily separates a strand of his own soul from his sea of consciousness and slowly pushes it towards Liu Zimo.
"I know the rules, please accept this strand of my soul!" Kong Sheng says to Liu Zimo.
Liu Zimo is taken aback.
He didn't expect Kong Sheng to offer his own soul without even saying anything.
Clearly, Kong Sheng must have had some prior contact with Liu Yuansheng.
Otherwise, how could he have thought of using his own soul to gain Liu Zimo's trust?
"In that case, I will accept it gratefully!" Liu Zimo doesn't hesitate and directly uses his thoughts to receive Kong Sheng's strand of soul into his sea of consciousness.
With this trust and assurance, when Liu Zimo looks at Kong Sheng again, he feels much more comfortable and familiar.
Swish!
With a wave of his right hand, Liu Zimo directly extracts three strands of completely different Dao laws from his sea of consciousness and seals them into Kong Sheng's body.
Since he has become one of his own, Liu Zimo naturally won't treat him unfairly.
The benefits that Liu Yuansheng received before, Kong Sheng will also receive.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liu!" Feeling the three complete strands of Dao laws integrating into his body, Kong Sheng's eyes brighten, and he repeatedly thanks Liu Zimo.
[Indeed, joining Liu Zimo is definitely an extremely wise choice!]
[My previous judgment was not wrong. That old guy Liu Yuan, within the half year of joining Liu Zimo, has directly comprehended three new Dao laws. It's not just a coincidence!]
[Liu Zimo is actually willing to share his insights on the Dao with his subordinates!]
[If I had known earlier, I would have clung to his thigh as soon as I returned half a year ago!]
[If that were the case, I would have gained three more complete strands of Dao laws!]
[...]
Liu Zimo raises an eyebrow. He didn't expect that Kong Sheng, whose mental consciousness has always been calm and undisturbed, would be directly broken through by the three strands of Dao laws he sent out.
This also allows Liu Zimo to easily hear what Kong Sheng is thinking at the moment.
Clearly, Kong Sheng is very satisfied with the gift Liu Zimo gave him.
At the same time, Liu Zimo also realizes that this is another major reason why Kong Sheng is willing to join and submit.
Even though they know Ascension is hopeless, these ancient true sages have never given up on comprehending and pursuing different Dao laws.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, can you tell me how many Dao laws you have comprehended?"
Kong Sheng couldn't help but ask Liu Zimo directly. However, as soon as he asked the question, Kong Sheng knew that he had been a bit abrupt and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Liu, please forgive me. I misspoke!"
Inquiring about someone's cultivation strength without any prior rapport is just as taboo as asking about someone's bank account balance. No one would willingly expose all their cards.
Every True Saint would also do their best to conceal the number and types of grand dao principles they have comprehended, in order to avoid being deliberately targeted or ambushed by those with ill intentions.
By asking Liu Zimo so directly about how many grand dao principles he has comprehended, Kong Sheng had clearly crossed a line.
"It's alright," Liu Zimo shook his head and smiled, indicating that he didn't mind. However, he didn't continue the conversation and reveal how many grand dao principles he had truly comprehended.
One must always be cautious. Even though Kong Sheng had willingly offered his own life soul, it didn't mean that Liu Zimo could completely trust him and reveal everything without any reservations.
There are some things that not even Liu Zimo's father knows, let alone Confucius, who had just joined him a day ago.
[So he really doesn't want to say?] [This is within my expectations. If it were me, I wouldn't reveal any of my secrets either.] [But judging from his inscrutable expression just now, I'm afraid twenty grand dao principles are far from his limit!] [Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily given away three grand dao principles that I have never comprehended!]
【However, he is being too generous. Isn't he afraid of nurturing a white-eyed wolf and causing trouble?】
【...】
Liu Sheng's thoughts resurfaced.
Ever since Liu Zimo sent out the power of the three great Dao laws, he found it difficult to maintain a calm and tranquil state of mind.
"Master, do you know what they meant by 'one month period' just now?"
Liu Zimo pretended not to know what Kong Sheng was thinking and asked softly.
In the "chat group" just now, this "one month period" was mentioned more than once, leaving Liu Zimo confused.
He wondered why these people had to eliminate him, "Liu," within one month.
Could it be that something major would happen in this world after one month?
"Didn't Liu Yuan Sheng remind you?"
Kong Sheng looked up at Liu Zimo in surprise and said softly,
"The Great Dao is changing, the laws are incomplete. One month from now, the Earth Realm will fully recover and all the great Dao laws will be replenished!"
"At that time, the suppression power on the Holy Realm experts within the realm will be completely lifted, and the bottleneck that Fellow Daoist Liu has been unable to break through will be instantly broken."
"They are worried that once Fellow Daoist Liu breaks through and reaches the transcendent realm, his strength will skyrocket and advance rapidly, completely suppressing them and making it impossible for them to raise their heads. That's why they want to strike first!"
"Also, if nothing unexpected happens, the realm teleportation passage that has been shrouding the Earth Realm will reopen."
"The Illusory Demon Realm is very likely to send truly powerful Holy Realm experts to invade this realm and plunder the newly recovered Dao spirit of this realm!"
"The real realm battle is about to begin!" (End of this chapter)
