Chapter 109: Hilariously Ridiculous (Four Updates)

Yue Hongling had completely lost it.

“You’re the one being dumb! You can’t cultivate the Dao, and you want to blame your Senior Brother? You’re struggling with your own Dao, and now you expect him to magically fix it? How is that his fault?”

Shangguan Huanling seemed to have found some inner strength, maybe she just couldn’t stand Yue Hongling’s attitude.

“My Dao disappeared, and he abandoned me! It’s not like I didn’t let him abandon me. He said he wouldn’t give up on me, yet you all have your Dao, but I’m stuck with a method that gets me nowhere. Why shouldn’t I blame him?”

Yue Hongling lunged forward.

Bai Qiulan was quick and caught Yue Hongling to hold her back.

“Hongling, calm down!”

“Ah, ah, ah, I’m so mad! Master, what nonsense is she spouting? Don’t stop me, I’m gonna beat her!”

Trapped in Bai Qiulan’s embrace, Yue Hongling flailed about, ready to face off against Shangguan Huanling in epic battle.

“I’m absolutely right! I’ve done nothing wrong!”

“You’re wrong as heck! Who told you that the **Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra** can’t lead to the Dao? It’s clearly you who’s too dense to cultivate it. What do you know about cultivating Dao? By the time you got this true scripture, what level were you at? At that level, isn’t the Dao already ingrained in your being and heart?”

“I reincarnated and also practiced the **Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra**, but why didn’t I manage to cultivate the Dao? The **Invincible Dao** I achieved was so weak, it must be the fault of this technique.”

Bai Qiulan froze.

Yue Hongling was taken aback too.

They exchanged glances with Shangguan Huanling, their expressions… hard to describe.

Overall, they seemed to be doubting their ears a bit, shocked.

“You’re saying in this life, what Dao were you cultivating?” Bai Qiulan couldn’t help but ask.

“The **Invincible Dao**?” Yue Hongling spat out those words in disbelief.

“What’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with the **Invincible Dao**?” Shangguan Huanling saw their reactions and felt an ominous premonition rising within her.

“Master, let me go, I won’t hit her anymore.”

In that moment, Yue Hongling seemed so unenthused.

No, why was she arguing with an idiot?

She was cultivating the **Invincible Dao**?

Hahahaha, she actually cultivated the **Invincible Dao**, hahahaha…

Yue Hongling’s shoulders shook uncontrollably, her expression changing wildly.

Shangguan Huanling?

“What do you mean by that?”

She shouldn’t have asked, but asking led Yue Hongling to completely lose it and break into wild laughter.

“Hahaha, hahaha… This is too funny, Master, she’s actually cultivating the **Invincible Dao**, hahahaha…”

Yue Hongling pointed at Shangguan Huanling, laughing so hard she had to bend over, tears streaming down her face.

At that moment, her mockery of Shangguan Huanling hit an all-time high.

Even Bai Qiulan’s usually composed facade cracked, a smile escaping unwittingly.

Though she quickly composed herself, Shangguan Huanling could see it.

Wait, Bai Qiulan was renowned for her gentle tolerance. What was that smile just now? Was she laughing at herself?

Why?

“What’s so funny? So what if I’m on the **Invincible Dao**? I like the **Invincible Dao**! I firmly believe I am invincible in this world, what’s wrong with that?” Shangguan Huanling replied, visibly unhappy.

Yue Hongling laughed even harder, nearly doubled over.

Shangguan Huanling glared at Bai Qiulan.

“Sister Bai, what’s wrong with my **Invincible Dao**? Why is everyone laughing at me?”

Bai Qiulan struggled to maintain her seriousness and said earnestly, “Huanling, you picked the wrong Dao.”

Shangguan Huanling???

“Don’t you know Lu Ye? How could you even consider the **Invincible Dao**? With Lu Ye around, who dares to call themselves invincible? You were so close to Lu Ye in your last life, didn’t you realize his power?”

“If you walk the **Invincible Dao**, you think you can beat Lu Ye?”

Shangguan Huanling…

“Lu Ye isn’t even on the **Invincible Dao**.”

She was still trying to resist.

“But the ones who truly master the **Invincible Dao** will ultimately face Lu Ye, confront him, wail, and perish.”

“Lu Ye is the end of invincibility!”

“If you walk the **Invincible Dao**, then…”

Yue Hongling filled in the end

“You’re a fool!”

“No, no, wait! You’re the idiot!”

Shangguan Huanling was still unwilling to concede.

“But I haven’t seen any aura of invincibility from Lu Ye!”

“That’s because Lu Ye’s invincibility is aimed at outsiders…”

Bai Qiulan’s gaze turned forlorn.

“For us, his entire Dao has always been one of protection!”

An unbeatable sword could never be drawn against one’s own.

A powerful fist would never land on your own kind.

“And by the way, you think the **Invincible Dao** is something you can just have? It’s earned through battle and bloodshed! Have you defeated twenty foes to claim the **Invincible Dao**?”

“So foolish, just too foolish! It’s beyond my comprehension.”

Shangguan Huanling’s heart ached with overwhelming pain.

Yue Hongling shook her head, looking like a piece of irreparable wood.

Shangguan Huanling was hit hard.

Seeing Yue Hongling’s reaction made her even angrier.

“What about you? You’ve been reincarnated, and Lu Ye won’t block you from being with your Feng Wuxie anymore! So why didn’t you go find your Feng Wuxie and pair up?” Shangguan Huanling mocked.

Yue Hongling???

“I’ll fight you now!”

……

Lu Ye still had no idea that Shangguan Huanling had made her way to the Grand Dao Sect.

He returned with a huge cache of resources and, upon arriving at the sect, initially thought of diving straight into the alchemy peak. However, he decided to first pay a visit to Liu Changfeng.

“Disciple Lu Ye, paying respects to the Sect Master!”

“Hahaha! I heard you stormed the lair of the foreign tribes, killing seven who crossed tribulations and four scattered deities, and looted the place clean?” Liu Changfeng said excitedly.

The more Liu Changfeng observed Lu Ye, the more he felt his initial decision was absolutely correct.

Because Lu Ye not only had immense talent but was also composed and clear about his goals.

And crucially, he was ruthless.

With the foreign tribes invading on a grand scale, humanity in peril, Lu Ye still managed to kill all eleven scattered deities chasing him, showing no intention of letting them live to join the battle.

After emerging from the Desert of Extinction, upon seeing the fall of the Nine Li Celestial Dynasty, he didn’t rush to join the fight but decisively chose to raid the foreign world.

Because in times of insufficient strength, even if Lu Ye joined the fray, it wouldn’t tip the balance.

There was no point in trying against the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

“Indeed, I did loot some treasures.”

As he spoke, tears began to flow from Lu Ye’s eyes.

Liu Changfeng???

He was somewhat at a loss; what was happening? Why was he crying out of the blue?

“No worries, just the harsh winds of the Desert of Extinction have him a bit misty-eyed.”

“These are the treasures I found, all the ones I can use have been kept, and the rest can serve as resources for the sect.”
