The Taoist Sage waved his hand and pushed the package thrown by the Confucian Sage towards Lin Ze: "Check, is it enough to support the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree seedlings for ten years?"
Lin Ze suppressed the doubts in his heart, took the package, and scanned it with his mind, classifying and counting.
After a while, Lin Ze reported the truth: "Based on the current daily consumption of resources, it can support the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree for twelve years, three months, and twenty-one days."
"If we take into account the increase in resources consumed at each stage and the current growth rate of the Jianmu Sacred Tree, the support will not exceed three years."
Dao Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this: "Huh?"
The Confucian sage's expression changed, and he could not sit still. He quickly said: "Master Li, I don't know that the resources required for the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree will increase at each stage. The calculation is wrong, and it was not my intention."
"Master Li, please wait for a moment. I will go and replenish the required resources. No, I will give you ten times the amount."
The Taoist sage shook his head slightly and said: "I feel the Confucian sage's intention. The amount of resources is secondary. The agreement has been reached. When the sacred tree is built to connect the heaven and Jiuyou, if there is more opportunity, I will not hesitate to share it with you.
One share for Junior Brother Tongtian.”
The Confucian sage's face was filled with joy: "I and Master Tongtian Sword would like to thank Master Li here."
The Master of Tongtian Sword also bowed his hand and said, "I thank you for your great kindness, Brother Dao."
Lin Ze, who was watching this scene coldly, suddenly said: "Wait a minute, the disciple dared to ask the teacher, what happened?"
Lin Ze probably guessed something, but he was not sure, so he asked this question.
Before the Taoist sage responded, the Confucian sage said first, "Lin Ze, Master Li and I have reached an agreement that the opportunity gained from reviving the sacred tree will be shared between me and your Uncle Tongtian."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will arrange for some Confucian disciples to come and take care of the Jianmu Sacred Tree. I hope you will cooperate with them to cultivate the Jianmu Sacred Tree as quickly as possible at all costs."
Lin Ze didn't even look at the Confucian sage, but looked at the Taoist sage silently, with a quiet and peaceful expression, waiting for his answer.
Seeing this, the Confucian sage felt inexplicably angry and snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
The Master of Tongtian Sword narrowed his eyes slightly, and the four swords of Zhu Xian were buzzing, ready to teach some ungrateful junior at any time.
The Taoist sage understood what Lin Ze meant and nodded slightly, acknowledging that what the Confucian sage said was true.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Lin Ze's mouth, and his voice was clear: "Disciple objects."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present had different reactions.
Tao Sheng's expression was indifferent, neither impatient nor tepid, as if he had expected that Lin Ze would object.
Zhuang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he privately advised: "Junior brother, this is the teacher's intention, how can you be so hasty and disobedient? Take it back quickly. If you really disagree, you can sit down and discuss it in the long run."
Lin Ze smiled and replied: "Senior brother, please be patient. Junior brother has his own plans."
The Confucian sage was not only dissatisfied now, but also had a gloomy face and a fire in his eyes.
In his opinion, if Lin Ze dared to cut off his opportunity to transcend the realm, this would be a way to die.
Even your teacher Tao Sheng agreed, so why are you against it? Who do you think you are?
The master of the Tongtian Sword was quick and neat. He unsheathed his Four Immortal Swords and locked his Qi machine on Lin Ze from a distance, as if a thunderous strike was coming the next moment.
Just as the atmosphere in the venue was getting more and more stagnant and a war was about to break out, Taoist Saint asked calmly: "Why are you opposed?"
Lin Ze bowed slightly and said: "The disciple has no objection to the teacher giving the opportunity to transcend the realm to the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master, because it is a great gift prepared by the disciple and senior brother for the teacher, and the teacher has the right to deal with it at will."
"However, I firmly cannot agree with the Confucianists and Biyou Palace disciples to interfere in the process of cultivating the Jianmu Sacred Tree. This process is not only the responsibility of the disciples and senior brothers, but also the only way for disciples and senior brothers to obtain benefits from it."
"As the saying goes, if you don't serve yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Please forgive me for not giving up this opportunity to others."
The expression on Taoist Sage's face did not change at all, and he did not reply or comment directly. Instead, he looked at Confucian Sage and Tongtian Sword Master and asked calmly: "What do Confucian Sage and Junior Brother Tongtian think?"
The Confucian sage and the Tongtian Sword Master looked at each other and said in unison with great tacit understanding: "I (poor Taoist) beg to differ."
Dao Sheng asked without changing his tone: "Oh, why?"
The Confucian sage cupped his hands and said, "Master Li, do you still remember what you and I said three days ago? If there is only one chance, it belongs to Master Li, and I will never compete with the Tongtian Sword Master. However, if there is only one chance,
If Master Li goes, won't we and I be in vain?"
"I secretly believe that no matter how many opportunities there are for transcending the realm, Master Li will ultimately account for the majority. Therefore, the small opportunity gained from cultivating the Jianmu Sacred Tree should be divided between me and the Tongtian Sword Master. Even if there is only one opportunity for transcending, I will
And Tongtian Sword Master didn’t gain anything either.”
That's what he said, but what the Confucian sage had in mind was different.
There are three reasons why he and the Tongtian Sword Master have such a tacit understanding to strive for the opportunity to cultivate the Jianmu Sacred Tree:
First, this opportunity is valued so much by Lin Ze, who is in the saint realm, and it may be beneficial to them as well. This opportunity is rare and cannot be given up easily.
Secondly, if it is of no use to you or of little use, you can take the opportunity to cultivate a few disciples of the third realm of heaven and humans, or they can be used to inherit the Taoist tradition, or they can be used as a furnace.
Thirdly, and most importantly, I don’t want to see the opportunity taken away by Lin Ze.
This guy is so arrogant right now. If he gets the upper hand, wouldn't he be in trouble?
No one likes to be pointed at and scolded by younger generations, and saints are no exception.
After hearing this, Taoist Saint nodded slightly: "That makes some sense."
Then, like a messenger, he looked at Lin Ze and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Disciple doesn't think so. This opportunity belongs to both the disciple and the senior brother. No one can take it away."
The Confucian sage took the opportunity and said: "Lin Ze, you dare to disobey Master Li. Do you want to bully your master and destroy your ancestors?"
Lin Ze ignored the Confucian sage, but looked calm and said word by word: "If the disciple does not get this opportunity, the disciple is willing to destroy the sacred tree. Everyone will break up and no one will be able to live well."
.”
The Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master heard this and said angrily: "How dare you?"
"Papa"
Lin Ze gently clapped his palms, and the formation to protect the Jianmu Sacred Tree suddenly sprouted countless white filaments, spreading from the roots to the crown, like a white net, tightly binding the Jianmu Sacred Tree.
.
"As soon as I think about it, this formation will explode, blowing this Jianmu Sacred Tree into powder. Do you think I dare?"
"If I order the world to completely destroy all the treasures of heaven, materials and earth of medium grade and above, at least most of the 300 million people of the Western Qin will obey the order. If there is no supply from the whole country of the Western Qin, how many resources can the three religions alone collect to support a new building?
Wooden God Tree?”
"If I call on the world and send a large army to attack Confucianism, the Confucian sage might as well guess how long it will take for Confucianism to be destroyed?"
The Confucian sage looked at Lin Ze with a serious face, but said to the Taoist sage: "Does Master Li really not want to take care of it?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Why would a Confucian sage resort to alienation tactics? I just said that the opportunity to transcend the realm belongs to my teacher, and the small opportunity to cultivate the Jianmu Sacred Tree belongs to me and Senior Brother Zhuang Zhou."
"Since I have never infringed on my teacher's interests, how could the teacher forcefully infringe on my interests? There is probably no such thing in the world."
