I Fuse All Things and Become the Strongest Cultivator

Could the Eternal Prosperity Sect really possess such a deep foundation and abundant resources, perhaps even surpassing ten Rong Families combined?

Normally, when a sect was first established, resources were precisely what it lacked most.

If someone offered them most of the resources accumulated by the Gou Family, any newly established sect should be extremely tempted. Yet this Sect Master Xiao had not shown even the slightest hint of interest.

Could it be that he truly looked down on the Gou Family’s resources? Thinking about it, that also made sense. With such a powerful and doting grandfather, how could Sect Master Xiao possibly lack cultivation resources?

After hearing this, Xiao Shou thought that he was not very good at handling matters like this. It would be better to wait until Fu Young returned and let him decide. With that pleasant decision made, he nodded and said, "Then I’ll give you an answer after the Heaven Origin Grand Competition, Patriarch Rong."

"Mm! Then it’s settled." Seeing that Xiao Shou was willing to consider the matter, the Rong Family Patriarch was delighted.

The Rong Family had only recently swallowed half of the Mao Family’s assets and had yet to fully digest them. If they swallowed the entire Gou Family now, they would probably be unable to handle it.

Moreover, if the Rong Family became the sole dominant family in Azure Origin City, they would inevitably attract the attention of various forces. With the Rong Family’s strength, they would have no way to withstand the pressure from those major powers.

It would be different with the Eternal Prosperity Sect.

After what had just happened to the Gou Family, no one would dare act recklessly and provoke someone who could summon an expert from the Upper Realm at any time.

If the Eternal Prosperity Sect stepped forward to take over the Gou Family’s assets, no one would dare covet them.

The Rong Family could then follow behind the Eternal Prosperity Sect and take advantage of the situation.

Afterward, Xiao Shou and the Rong Family Patriarch chatted back and forth for a while.

The Rong Family Patriarch soon became depressed when he discovered that Sect Master Xiao was not someone who enjoyed conversation.

He often had to say ten sentences before Xiao Shou would reply with one. It seemed that Rong Yitian had been right. His Sect Master really was cold by nature and preferred peace and quiet. Seeing this, the Rong Family Patriarch could only helplessly bid farewell.

What he did not know was that Xiao Shou was not cold at all. He was simply distracted.

His mind had been occupied by the fact that Tushan Qing had killed the Gou Family Patriarch and the others.

The more Xiao Shou thought about how their deaths had happened because of him, the more uncomfortable he became. It felt as though a heavy stone had been placed on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Even if the Gou Family Patriarch deserved to die, there must have been innocent people among all those who had died.

How could so many people’s lives be decided so casually?

This was completely different from Terrestrial Fox Black Flame.

Terrestrial Fox Black Flame was like a fair judge. Only those who had committed sins would die. But surely not everyone belonging to the Gou Family Patriarch’s faction had been evil?

After the Rong Family Patriarch left, Xiao Shou remained troubled by these thoughts. He continued struggling with them until Fu Young returned with the others.

The moment they entered the main hall, they saw their Master sitting in his seat with his head lowered, looking like a stray dog that had lost its way.

Fu Young immediately waved his hand and dismissed the others. Then he asked worriedly, "Master, did something happen?"

"Young’er, you’re back. How did it go? You didn’t encounter any difficult opponents, did you?" Xiao Shou came back to his senses and asked with concern.

Only after asking about Fu Young’s situation did he add, "I’m fine!"

Hearing him say that, Fu Young simply squeezed onto the same seat as Xiao Shou and sat right beside him. He looked at his Master worriedly. "Master, you certainly don’t look fine."

"Didn’t I ask you a question, Young’er? Don’t talk about those unimportant things!" Xiao Shou was embarrassed to tell his beloved disciple that he was troubled because of the deaths of people who had nothing to do with him, so he simply changed the subject.

Seeing that his Master was so insistent, Fu Young became even more curious. He decided to answer Xiao Shou’s question first and then ask about the matter afterward.

He sighed and said, "I’ve already obtained my qualification for the second round. The others will have to work hard for another day tomorrow."

"Hey! I asked about how you defended your arena! You skipped over everything far too quickly. Didn’t nobody dare challenge you? How did you get ten challengers so quickly?" Xiao Shou had originally asked this only to change the subject, but as he continued speaking, he genuinely became curious.

He immediately pressed for an answer, looking at Fu Young expectantly.

Faced with such a gaze, Fu Young found it impossible to refuse. His heart seemed to lose control again. He quickly coughed lightly to hide his strange reaction before explaining, "Actually, there wasn’t much to it. Every time, I pretended that I had only barely managed to win and that my opponent could have defeated me with their next attack, but they simply lost because of bad luck. After that, one challenger after another came onto the arena."

"Hahaha! You’re really too cunning." Xiao Shou could immediately imagine what had happened at the time. He could not help tapping Fu Young lightly on the forehead before bursting into laughter.

Once he started laughing, he could not stop. The heavy feeling that had been weighing on his heart disappeared completely. His entire body felt relaxed, and he no longer had that suffocating sense of heaviness.

Watching his Master’s brilliant smile, Fu Young finally relaxed as well.
