Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

"So you are a disciple of a sage. I was rude. But there is something you are wrong about. Although this child is my son, I have already expelled him from the sect, and he has nothing to do with me anymore."

"His actions have nothing to do with me. As for why I am here, it is not to save him, but because I sensed the aura of the Ancestral Dragon nearby, so I came here to check the situation."

Mu Longbo reacted incredibly quickly. Realizing that Jiang Yuan's identity was not something he could afford to offend, he immediately abandoned Mu Jiao and severed ties with him at lightning speed.

He has many sons; the death of one is no big deal. There's no need to sacrifice the entire family for the sake of one son.

"Yeah?"

Mu Longbo cut so fast that not only did Mu Jiao not react in time, but even Jiang Yuan was stunned. Could it be done like that?

But upon closer reflection, this is the most correct choice.

Either way, Mu Jiao is in the wrong, and no matter who takes the case to, he's doomed. This means he's no longer of any value, so he should be discarded in time to avoid implicating his family.

Otherwise, why would he risk his life fighting a sage's disciple for him? What a joke! Mu Longbo is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, not a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. How could he afford to offend a sage?

"That's right. This boy is cruel by nature. I have tried to teach him but he has not changed. I had no choice but to expel him from the family to prevent him from causing trouble in the future and implicating me."

Hearing Jiang Yuan's question, Mu Longbo said confidently. As long as the reason was appropriate, he was not afraid that Jiang Yuan would hold a grudge, because his cultivation level was higher than Jiang Yuan's.

So what if he's a disciple of a sage? This little thing, how could it possibly reach the sage's ears? Even if he were willing, Jiang Yuan himself probably wouldn't, it wouldn't be shameful enough.

As for finding someone to deal with him, that was even more impossible. It wasn't that Jiang Yuan couldn't find anyone, but rather that finding someone would incur a favor.

Is it worth owing someone a favor for such a trivial matter? A disciple of a sage should not treat favors so cheaply.

"That makes a lot of sense, but Mu Jiao seems to have a different opinion."

Jiang Yuan smiled and did not refute Mu Longbo. He simply looked at Mu Jiao in his hand, indicating that Mu Jiao was still alive and that these words could be exposed at any time if he spoke.

This is an attempt to extort benefits from Mulongbo. Your son tried to kill me, and although he failed, he did it. Regardless of whether you, as the father, knew about it or not, you have to make a statement. You can't simply wash your hands of it with a few words.

"This boy resents me for expelling him from the family, and in order to take revenge, he is bound to make up stories, so everything he says is unreliable."

"However, even so, he is still my son. The fact that he has caused such a big disaster is inseparable from my lax discipline."

Mu Longbo understood Jiang Yuan's meaning and knew that he would have to bleed money to get through this time.

Therefore, he first claimed that Mu Jiao's words were unreliable, then took the charge of lax discipline, and prepared to use this as a reason to make compensation.

But when it came to the details of the compensation, he suddenly hesitated because he didn't know what to give.

Resources? Treasures? Would a disciple of a sage lack these things?

To put it bluntly, even a small leak from the fingers of a sage is worth more than he could ever acquire by spending all his wealth.

"In these nearby waters, cannibalism is rampant. As the lord of these waters, shouldn't Mu Longbo do something about it?"

Seeing Mu Longbo's predicament, Jiang Yuan offered a reminder.

Upon hearing his reminder, Mu Longbo immediately understood and hurriedly assured him, "As long as I am here, anyone who dares to eat people in the waters under my jurisdiction is my greatest enemy, and I will fight to the death with them."

"If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."

It's clear that Mu Longbo is very sincere; he even made such a solemn oath to settle this matter.

You should know that in the primordial world, oaths are not made lightly. If you can keep them, that's fine, but if you can't, you really have to keep your oath.

"I have felt Longbo's sincerity. I only hope that you will remember what I said today and not forget it."

Jiang Yuan nodded, acknowledging Mu Longbo's compensation, thus putting the matter to rest. Then, he gestured for him to leave.

Upon seeing this, Mu Longbo felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately left the place at the fastest speed he had ever traveled. During this time, he didn't even glance at Mu Jiao.

"It seems that not only do the dragons not value you, but your father does too."

Jiang Yuan flicked Mu Jiao's head, then grabbed his hand and squeezed it so hard it crushed.

Then, without even having a chance to leave a last word, Mu Jiao's soul was scattered and he lost his life.

"Your strength has already surpassed mine."

Suddenly, Xuan Shan emerged from the void, looking at Jiang Yuan with a complex expression.

It's only been a little over a thousand years, and the little vegetable he once saved has already surpassed him. It's estimated that in a while, their positions will be reversed, and it will be his turn to look up to Jiang Yuan.

"Ancestor, you've come at the right time. Although Mu Jiao's strength isn't that great, his corpse is still very valuable. After you refine it, even if you don't reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, reaching the perfect Heavenly Immortal realm shouldn't be a problem."

Jiang Yuan was not surprised by the arrival of the Xuanshan clan. In fact, after he left the human race with Mu Jiao, not only did the Xuanshan clan secretly follow, but the Youchao clan also secretly accompanied him.

They were worried that something might happen to him, but Jiang Yuan's performance surprised them greatly. He was too strong; many top-tier celestial beings were no more than that.

"I'm the one who benefited from you."

Xuanshan did not refuse, because Mu Jiao's corpse was indeed a great tonic for him. After eating it, he could save himself at least tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

For Jiang Yuan, Mu Jiao's corpse was of little use. His foundation was too profound; ordinary spiritual objects had no effect on him. Only treasures at the level of innate gods and demons could have an effect on him.

……

The matter of Mu Jiao was resolved more easily than Jiang Yuan had imagined. This was to be expected; Jiang Yuan's talent was already top-tier in the prehistoric world, while Mu Jiao was merely an ordinary genius from a remote region of the prehistoric world.

If it takes a lot of effort to deal with him when the difference in cultivation levels is not significant, then Jiang Yuan's reputation as a disciple of a saint is somewhat undeserved.

It is said that shallow waters cannot nurture true dragons, but Jiang Yuan is a true dragon living in shallow waters, yet he did not realize this before.

This led to a somewhat distorted assessment of his own strength. As a top-tier prodigy, using geniuses from remote areas as a benchmark, it's no wonder his assessment was inaccurate.

"Master is right. If I want to achieve something in the future, I can't stay in the human race forever. I need to go out and see the world. It would be best to go to the Heavenly Court."

On the way back to the human race, Jiang Yuan pondered silently. Currently, the Heavenly Court is the center of the primordial world, where countless heroes gather and the fortunes of all realms intertwine.

Not everyone who cultivates there will become a strong person, but those who stand out from the crowd will definitely become strong.

In the path of cultivation, luck is of utmost importance.

What is the Heavenly Court? It is the center of the primordial world, the place where the fortunes of all things converge, and it possesses the most fortune and the most outstanding talents in the primordial world.
