Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 16 There's No Targeting You at All



"To tell the truth, I had quite admired you." "Nearly a hundred years ago, I heard that a Qiu Changtian emerged from Kunlun, praised as 'the benevolent and righteous Chief Qiu.'" Mo Gu True Person broke into a smile and continued, "At that time, I even told my father, 'If there is anyone from Kunlun who could threaten our Intercepting Cult's orthodoxy, it must be this man.'" "Magnificent Kunlun, how great its fame was? Yet it's a pity that it is bound by the decadent traditions of the Clarify Cult, thus stagnating and unable to utilize the strength of the countless external disciples." "Every thirty years, Kunlun opens its gates to accept disciples, and there have been innumerable Chief Disciples. But only you realized the power of these external disciples, didn't you?" With an "I've completely seen through you" expression, he sneered coldly: "You have been scheming, currying favor with them, cultivating a following, until your reputation became known throughout the entire sect." "These external disciples united under your banner, ultimately elevating you to the position of the great Chief Disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm." "Knowing this news, I realized you would either become my confidant or my arch-enemy." "Because we are on the same path. People like us are naturally born to lead others, to declare war on this decayed and rotten world!" Mo Gu True Person spread his arms wide, speaking boldly. His followers looked up at him with admiration, while others regarded him as if he were some sort of freak. Only Qiu Changtian's face could no longer hold back his emotions. I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense! I just wanted to grind for some Synchronization Value! Seeing his sudden change of expression, Mo Gu True Person also showed a disappointed look, resentfully saying: "However, why did you stop in your tracks on this path after reaching Core Formation?" That's obviously because my fame had completely spread, and there was no need to grind with external disciples anymore! Qiu Changtian internally retorted, yet his face showed a bewildered expression as if to say "What are you talking about?" "You must be joking." "Heh, stop pretending." Seeing that he was still feigning ignorance, Mo Gu True Person lost interest and waved his hand dismissively, "In the end, you have just been corrupted and assimilated by the quagmire of Kunlun." "If I'm not mistaken, it was the Head of the Kunlun Sect who interfered, right? Under the coercion and temptation of your seniors, you finally wavered and no longer held firm to your original beliefs." No, really, that's not it! Qiu Changtian was at a loss for words. Mo Gu True Person would not believe it and said callously: "From that moment on, I swore to defeat you." "What 'rising star of the righteous path'? 'Daoist Heart Clarity'? Nothing but cowards who capitulated and abandoned their initial aspirations!" "I will completely shatter your Invincible Golden Body and trample it underfoot, ensuring that the reputation of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, which holds fast to theories of natural talent and lineage, is destroyed once and for all!" "Wait a moment," Xu Yinglian finally could not help herself, "After all is said and done, you don't really know my senior brother at all! You're just a Mr. Ye who loves dragons, aren't you?" "What Mr. Ye who loves dragons!" Mo Gu True Person said fiercely, "I already said, it's just his sanctimonious facade I can't stand!" "Mo Gu, you don't really know the story of 'Mr. Ye who loves dragons,' do you?" Luo Baiyuan suddenly interjected, "Ignorance is really scary!" The scene fell silent for a moment, until Qiu Changtian coughed and began to explain: "The story of 'Mr. Ye who loves dragons' is about a man named Mr. Ye..." "Shut up!" Mo Gu True Person, frustrated and angry, shouted, "Just wait and admit defeat! My minions will publicize this so that everyone in the world will know of it. The name of Changgeng True Person will soon become worthless!" "How childish," Xu Yinglian sighed, "Sister Han Yuan, has he always been like this?" "Yes," Luo Baiyuan said helplessly, "That's why, no matter how much he defies the elders in his sect, White Bone doesn't really punish him... Everyone just thinks of him as an immature child." "Stop your feigned ignorance!" Mo Gu True Person laughed in anger, "As long as victory is ultimately mine, all your denouncements are merely senseless objections!" No sooner had these words fallen than Liandu True Monarch and another unfamiliar Taoist emerged from the inner halls, laughing as they said: "Sorry to have kept you all waiting." "Jiuhua, I won this time, you have nothing to say now, right?" "Alas, the old Daoist admits defeat," the unfamiliar Daoist couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, "Liandu, you were just lucky." "Cut the nonsense, I won fair and square." Liandu True Monarch turned towards Qiu Changtian with a smile, "This Changgeng True Person here correctly guessed Jiuhua True Monarch's Chosen One while no one guessed mine. So, according to the rules, the qualification for the owner of the Golden Que is now Changgeng True Person's." "Thank you, True Monarch." Qiu Changtian clasped his fists in thanks and had just uttered his gratitude. Beside him, Mo Gu True Person seemed to awaken from a dream, eyes wide with disbelief, he exclaimed: "Wait a minute! Jiuhua True Monarch, this…" He initially wanted to say "this is impossible," but he quickly became aware of the surrounding gazes and forcibly calmed himself down, merely asking coldly: "Let me confirm once more. The Chosen One I guessed is incorrect? And his guess is correct?" "Yes." "That's right." Liandu True Monarch and Jiuhua True Monarch responded in unison. Thus, Mo Gu True Person fell into a bizarre silence. After a few breaths, he suddenly laughed out loud and through gritted teeth said: "Well done, very well done, Qiu Changtian! You've really played me this time!" Qiu Changtian: ? Your self-consciousness is really too much, I didn't even target you, okay? "Hehe." Mo Gu True Person eventually laughed a few times, turned around to leave without any attachment, and threw out a fierce parting shot: "Just you wait! Qiu Changtian, and that pretentious Wei Dongliu… Sooner or later, I will crush you all thoroughly!" Hmm? Qiu Changtian was momentarily taken aback. Wei Dongliu… What have I ever done to you? Forget it, don't bother with such thoughts; otherwise, you'd stoop down to his intellectual level… Just as Qiu Changtian was gathering his thoughts, he saw Junior Sister Xu draw close from the side, asking in a low voice filled with excitement and curiosity: "Senior Brother, how did you do it?" "Ahem, it was nothing but a trifling skill." Amid the awed gazes of the crowd, Qiu Changtian replied calmly and indifferently. Within the main hall, while everyone was curious to hear how Changgeng True Person had won, Liandu True Monarch had also returned with Jiuhua True Monarch to the inner hall. In the side room of the inner hall, a pretty and cute girl stood and said to Liandu True Monarch: "Now that my identity has not been guessed by anyone, you should teach me the Daoist Magic." "So the identity of this person is actually…" Jiuhua True Monarch asked in astonishment. "It's none other than that Real Person Miaodan of Shushan," Liandu True Monarch said with pride, "From before the competition even began, she used an illusion technique to disguise herself as Real Person Miaodan from Shushan and joined in the gamble." "Disguised as Real Person Miaodan?" Jiuhua True Monarch said, shocked, "Then that would mean…" "That's correct," Liandu True Monarch stated profoundly, "According to my rules, one must point out the 'true identity' of the Chosen One." "Which means," Jiuhua True Monarch couldn't help laughing, "unless someone could see through her disguise and realize she's not the real Miaodan, from the beginning there was no chance of winning at all."
