These words, he'd held in his heart for a long time, but now that he'd spoken them out at this moment, they only added to his restlessness.

When he spoke these words, they sounded so righteous. But in fact, did he really not know whether all that he had done was wrong? Was his master, the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor Er Lee, truly unworthy of him?

Of course not... Thus, saying these words left him not feeling exhilarated, but rather increasingly irritated.

Because of feeling guilty, ashamed, and fearful of being exposed, his heart was restless.

"Sigh..."

Seeing the Langya Saint Lord like this, the True Martial Saint Lord let out a slight sigh.

"So, you hold such resentment in your heart towards master. Is it because of this that you became what you are?" the True Martial Saint Lord said in a low voice.

"Yes! It's because of these! What about it? Isn't it enough? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't you know how much I hate that 'holier-than-thou' look on your face!" The Langya Saint Lord retorted angrily upon hearing the True Martial Saint Lord's words.

"Do you even know why the master gave you so little of the universe's Origin Force at first and why he took the other Senior Brothers away and left only you and me behind?" The True Martial Saint Lord paused, then asked.

"Isn't it favoritism?" Langya Saint Lord said coldly.

"Certainly not. What kind of a person is the master? How could he do such a thing?" the True Martial Saint Lord shook his head and said.

"You should know that when breaking through a new layer in a universe, not only will the Origin Force of that universe descend but also a strand of Origin Force from the outer worlds. When the two mix together, allowing someone to absorb them simultaneously, because of absorbing the Origin Force from the outer world, it becomes more difficult to break through higher levels..."

"Each time you break through a new layer, the Origin Force obtained will far exceed all the Origin Forces obtained from the previous layers combined. Because the master believed you and I had greater potential, that's why he made us absorb less Origin Force early on. This way, we could continue to take part in breaking through new layers and thus, absorb even more Origin Force..."

The True Martial Saint Lord said slowly, with a look of deep regret.

"Heh, so, is this why the Origin Force you ended up absorbing is at least more than double mine?" Langya Saint Lord sneered, disagreeing with the True Martial Saint Lord's explanation.

The Origin Force that the True Martial Saint Lord had acquired along the way was no less than that of the other Senior Brothers. If what the True Martial Saint Lord had said was true, shouldn't he have absorbed less Origin Force than the others earlier on?

In reality, that was not the case—the True Martial Saint Lord had received plenty of Origin Force from the very beginning!

"Because, the master planned for you and me to take part in breaking through the thirty-fourth and even the thirty-fifth layers of this universe..." The True Martial Saint Lord said, looking earnestly at the Langya Saint Lord.

Taking part in breaking through the thirty-fourth layer of this universe!

The Langya Saint Lord's mouth fell open slightly.

This matter was exactly what he'd been plotting all along!

For this, he was willing to slay everything!

Then, he felt immensely mocked, and said, "At this time, True Martial, does it amuse you to deceive me? Saying that he planned for you and me to take part in breaking through the thirty-fourth and even thirty-fifth layers of this universe? How?

When we broke through the thirty-third layer of this universe together, didn't the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor feel how great the pressure was to break through the thirty-fourth layer? Didn't he know he was about to leave? In the end, when we broke through the thirty-third layer of this universe, the Origin Force he allocated to me was arguably the least..."

"Later, not long after, he left with others. And now, you tell me, he wanted you and me to take part in breaking through the thirty-fourth and even the thirty-fifth layer of this universe, that's why he allocated so little Origin Force to me. Don't you think it's laughable? Do you think you can fool me like a child?"

"It's not about breaking through the thirty-fourth layer of this universe with the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor and the other Senior Brothers, but with the reincarnation of a friend of the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor…" The True Martial Saint Lord said with a slight frown.

"The Grand Master Taoist Ancestor once said that his friend's talent was beyond measure, countless times greater than his own. If his friend succeeded in reincarnating, he could at least break through the thirty-fourth layer of this universe and even have a chance to break through the thirty-fifth layer..." Pausing for a moment, the True Martial Saint Lord continued.

"If we had his arrangement, plus the strength of us two, it's highly possible that we could actually break through the thirty-fourth and possibly the thirty-fifth layer of this universe, and at that time, the Origin Force we would gain would be unimaginably powerful…" the True Martial Saint Lord said, looking very earnestly at the Langya Saint Lord.

Listening to the True Martial Saint Lord's narrative, Langya Saint Lord's mouth hung open.

To break through the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth layers of this universe with the reincarnated friend of the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor?

This was something he had never even considered.

On one hand, he doubted whether this reincarnation of the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor's friend could achieve such a feat, and on the other, judging by himself, he thought if the reincarnated friend were truly powerful enough to break through new layers alone, why would he need them?

He had not expected... that the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor would actually have said such things to the True Martial Saint Lord...
