Mad God Evolution-Chapter 1540 - 1430: The Jealousy of the Venerable Sages

"This is Mixed Profound Dao Ancestor..."

"This is Sky King Great Ancestor..."

"This is Yang Mei Old Taoist..."

...

Taoist Ancestor Hongjun introduced Lv Zhong to the top tier of Venerable Sages and great powers in the Vast Heavens.

Lv Zhong respectfully greeted each one in turn.

Facing these super-powerful figures, Lv Zhong displayed considerable politeness.

At the same time, as he greeted them, Lv Zhong silently clicked his tongue in awe, deeply respecting his master’s formidable network.

Standing before him were over twenty Venerable Sage-level powerhouses, the supreme rulers of each universe.

These individuals had hardly appeared in public for millions of years, yet surprisingly, they had been drawn here by the commotion from Lv Zhong’s Sage Tribulation.

Though facing such figures, Lv Zhong maintained appropriate courtesy. Within, he felt an insuppressible fervor.

Lv Zhong was filled with immense confidence!

The accomplishments of these Venerable Sages today would undoubtedly be his achievements tomorrow!

He was confident he could become a Venerable Sage-level powerhouse!

Moreover, Lv Zhong aspired to surpass these Venerable Sages, reach the realm of Wu Shang Divine Person, and transcend the Immortal World.

At this moment, Lv Zhong’s ambition was laid bare.

Having greeted many of the Venerable Sages who were his seniors, Lv Zhong unexpectedly received a considerable amount of gifts.

The quality of these gifts was exceedingly high.

For instance, the gifts offered were at least of Primordial Grade!

The treasures included Primordial Grade magical treasures and weapons, top-tier artifact-refinement materials, as well as Primordial Spirit Roots and Spirit Seeds.

What excited Lv Zhong most was that Lotus Master gifted him a seventh-grade Primordial [Karma Fire Red Lotus].

With the existence of [Heavenly Light Holy Water], coupled with time-acceleration realms, Lv Zhong was confident he could cultivate this seventh-grade Primordial [Karma Fire Red Lotus] to at least a Chaos-level tenth-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus in a short span of time.

Truthfully, Primordial Grade magical treasures and materials were what Lv Zhong lacked the least.

Possessing the Ancient Insect Clan’s [Profundity Light Shadow Insects] super treasure trove, Lv Zhong’s wealth might even surpass that of many Venerable Sages present.

Furthermore, Lv Zhong owned several Tao Artifact-grade unparalleled magical treasures—something that even many Venerable Sages could not claim to possess!

Receiving these benefits, Lv Zhong was deeply delighted and grew even more heartfelt in his greetings to the Venerable Sages. freёwebnoѵel.com

As Taoist Ancestor Hongjun led him around the crowd, the gifts Lv Zhong received were enough to make any disciple under a Venerable Sage envious.

For the first time, Lv Zhong had truly entered the view of these elite figures.

In truth, the feelings these Venerable Sages harbored towards Lv Zhong were decidedly complex.

First, Lv Zhong’s potential was astonishing, instilling a sense of wariness among the Venerable Sages.

Second, Lv Zhong’s unparalleled potential also evoked jealousy, envy, and resentment. When these Sages themselves underwent Tribulation Crossing, they didn’t achieve anything as extraordinary as Lv Zhong had. It could be said that Lv Zhong’s achievements in crossing the Sage Tribulation outshone most of these Venerable Sages.

Third, Lv Zhong possessed Tao Artifacts—not just one, but multiple—which made even the Venerable Sages, many of whom lacked even a single Tao Artifact, secretly envious. Thankfully, these Sages still valued their status and face, refraining from openly trying to seize the items from a junior before everyone. More importantly, Taoist Ancestor Hongjun was Lv Zhong’s master, and his connections and power ranked among the very top across All Heavens and Myriad Realms, which deterred certain Sages from attempting outright robbery.

After greeting the Venerable Sages, a Venerable Sage named Xuan Luo stared at Taoist Ancestor Hongjun with a jealous expression and remarked, "Old Hongjun, you damn lucky bastard. You actually took in a disciple like this. Honestly, just with this, you’ve left us Venerable Sages far behind..."

"Haha, Great Sage Xuan Luo, your disciple isn’t bad either. His strength has already reached Level 8. He’s hardly weaker than us Venerable Sages. Are you still unsatisfied?"

Venerable Sage Xuan Luo rolled his eyes and responded, "My eldest disciple cultivated for 1.8 trillion years just to reach Level 8 Sage Realm. But how long has your disciple cultivated? I see his bone age and soul mark don’t even exceed one billion years. Damn it! ’Compare goods, throw them away; compare people, die of envy.’..."

Xuan Luo’s remarks elicited widespread laughter.

"Alright, I’ve met Nephew Lv Zhong. I will take my leave first. See you at the [Haoyang Divine Palace] in Chaos a thousand years from now—" Mixed Silkworm Ancestor glanced at Hongjun and departed ahead of the others.

With Mixed Silkworm Ancestor taking the lead, the other Venerable Sages chatted briefly with Hongjun before departing as well.

For them, had it not been for the unmatched disturbance caused by Lv Zhong’s Sage Tribulation, they wouldn’t have shown themselves.

After all, in less than a millennium, the [Haoyang Divine Palace] would open.

To these Venerable Sages, the allure and temptation of the Haoyang Divine Palace outweighed everything else.

A thousand years was far too short for them.

During this time, they needed to prepare diligently. Otherwise, once inside the [Haoyang Divine Palace], they could face massive losses due to being underprepared, or worse, risk severe injury or death.

Thus, none of the Venerable Sages treated the trip to [Haoyang Divine Palace] as mere play.

In mere moments, the scene grew desolate.

Even Taoist Ancestor Hongjun smiled bitterly.

"Young one, would you like to return with me to the Earth Immortal World to meet your senior brothers and sisters?" Taoist Ancestor Hongjun glanced at Lv Zhong and asked suddenly.

In fact, this question had been raised before in Chaos, though Lv Zhong had declined then as he intended to search for the [Insect God’s Heart]. Yet it seemed Taoist Ancestor Hongjun had brought it up again now.

Lv Zhong didn’t immediately respond but pondered seriously. After a moment, he nodded, "Alright!"

Now that the [Insect God’s Heart] (Hongmeng Emperor Qingmu) had been found, and the divine artifact on [Du Tian Sacred Star] had yet to surface, Lv Zhong had nothing urgent to attend to and made his decision.

Besides, his strength had advanced sharply. Even if the divine artifact on [Du Tian Sacred Star] did emerge, he could instantly rush over with the aid of the [Great Annihilation Pearl] to compete for it.

"Good, in that case, follow me..."

Taoist Ancestor Hongjun nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and vanished alongside Lv Zhong.

...

As Lv Zhong and the Venerable Sage-level powerhouses disappeared without a trace,

on a broken uninhabited planet in outer space, a dirt-streaked goddess appeared.

"Master... Master, Senior Brother Ling Yun, Senior Brother Ling Bing, I... I didn’t expect you... you all to perish... sobsob..." The goddess’s face was filled with grief and venomous resentment as she muttered, "Lv Zhong, I absolutely won’t spare you. Haha, you probably don’t even know that you’ve already been poisoned by me..."

Her voice erupted into a piercing shriek!

Indeed!

This goddess was none other than the long-hidden Poison Luck Sage Consort Lin Dair, a personal disciple of the [Du Tian Sacred Emperor]. (To be continued.
