Hao Ren
o(⊙﹏⊙)o
Completely confused!
What did I do?
I didn't do anything!
When did I "enlighten" you?
Han Mo said with firm conviction.
"Master, you don't need to test me anymore. I understand your well-intentioned efforts."
Hao Ren
o(⊙﹏⊙)o
What well-intentioned efforts?
Why don't you tell me, so I can understand too, alright?
Han Mo seemed to hear Hao Ren's "inner thoughts" and continued.
"Master's grand pronouncements just now, 'I am invincible in the human world, if I don't fight heaven, who else will'... you are motivating me. Cultivation cannot be too conservative; one must advance courageously, forge ahead, and carve out one's own path in desperate situations!"
Han Mo's eyes blazed with determination.
"Master, I will not fail your expectations. I will advance courageously, I will enter the Dongxuan Secret Realm, I will overcome all difficulties, and I will find the Dragon Pattern Grass to change my fate!"
His "declaration" was passionate and exhilarating!
Hao Ren
(￣ェ￣;)
Speechless!
Xiao Mo, my child, don't be impulsive. Listen to your master and I'll explain slowly.
That, that phrase 'I am invincible in the human world, if I don't fight heaven, who else will,' didn't mean anything else. I was just trying to show off!
So, Xiao Mo, please don't be impulsive!
At this moment, Han Mo knelt down again and said firmly.
"Master, please grant me a Dongxuan Secret Token. I will not fail your expectations."
Hao Ren
(￣ェ￣;)
It's not about whether I fail your expectations, but this matter cannot proceed like this!
The "Dongxuan Secret Realm" is too dangerous. The "Heavenly Dragon Holy Land" has set up a series of grand conspiracies within it. The "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" could revive at any moment...
Wait!
Just as Hao Ren was about to dissuade Han Mo, his eyes suddenly lit up.
A "brilliant" idea flashed in his mind.
Wasn't he looking for "protagonist figures"?
This Han Mo before him was also a "protagonist figure"!
A "template for the main male lead" in the "Mortal Cultivation genre"!
A master of the "cunning old fox halo"!
If Han Mo were to enter the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" and follow the "Mortal Cultivation genre" playbook, he would inevitably defeat the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" and reap all the benefits.
The "True Dragon Egg" was practically a "trophy" tailor-made for Han Mo!
Yes, this is promising!
Hao Ren's gaze sharpened as he looked at Han Mo.
"Xiao Mo, the Dongxuan Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Do you really want to go? Think carefully..."
As he spoke, Hao Ren recounted the "Heavenly Dragon Holy Land's" "ten-thousand-year plan" in full detail.
He held nothing back, explaining all the dangers and perils involved.
This was Hao Ren's principle!
Although he was a "hermit," he never betrayed his own people.
Han Mo was his disciple, and Hao Ren would explain everything clearly before letting Han Mo decide whether to take the risk.
After listening to Hao Ren's "narration," Han Mo pondered for a long time.
A full half hour later, Han Mo finally looked up, his eyes filled with resolute divine light.
He nodded solemnly.
"Master, I understand the danger of this endeavor, but I still choose to venture and fight for it!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Ren smiled.
He was very satisfied with this outcome.
With Han Mo going to "stir things up," the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" wouldn't even be able to revive, let alone have his "nascent soul fragments" shattered.
The "protagonist halo" of the "Mortal Cultivation genre" was no joke!
"Master, I want to make preparations first!"
Han Mo requested permission from Hao Ren.
Although there was still almost a year before the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" opened.
However, as a "cunning old fox," Han Mo's guiding principle was "preparedness" and always having a "Plan B," so preparations had to begin now.
Hao Ren thought for a moment and decided to "lend" two powerful magical treasures to Han Mo for protection.
After all, one more powerful magical treasure meant one more chance of victory!
So, which magical treasure should he "lend" to Han Mo?
Hao Ren now had many incredibly powerful magical treasures around him.
He had several Houtian Lingbao.
"Nine Dragon Imperial Seal," "Heaven Pushing Mirror."
He had one fragment of a Xiantian Lingbao.
"Eastern Star Chart."
And he also possessed a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
"Heaven Controlling Bottle."
However, he didn't have many offensive magical treasures that he could actually use.
The "Heaven Controlling Bottle" had not yet developed its full potential and had no offensive power; it could only be used to cultivate herbs.
Besides, Han Mo already had a "Heaven Controlling Bottle" of his own, so Hao Ren didn't need to "lend" him one.
The "Eastern Star Chart" had also not yet developed and had no offensive power; its only use was to channel "starlight."
The "Nine Dragon Imperial Seal," a Houtian Lingbao, was very powerful. It was the most potent Houtian Lingbao in the cultivation world of the "Great Xin Dynasty," without exception.
Unfortunately, the "Nine Dragon Imperial Seal" could only be activated by "Nine Dragon Sage Emperor Qi" or its advanced version, "Great Emperor Sage Emperor Qi."
Han Mo did not possess "Nine Dragon Sage Emperor Qi" or "Great Emperor Sage Emperor Qi," nor could he cultivate these two techniques due to his unsuitable aptitude. Only a "Child of Destiny" could cultivate these two techniques.
Finally, only the "Heaven Pushing Mirror" remained.
The "Heaven Pushing Mirror's" primary function was "deducing the past." However, as a "Houtian Lingbao," it still possessed decent offensive and defensive capabilities, at least stronger than ordinary ninth-grade magical treasures!
Yes, the "Heaven Pushing Mirror" could be "lent" to Han Mo later.
Within the "Heaven Pushing Mirror" was the "filial son" Chuan Jianguo. With this "portable old grandpa" giving Han Mo "bad advice," his chances of victory would increase by another thirty percent.
One "Houtian Lingbao" was still not enough.
Hao Ren, feeling uneasy, decided to "lend" the "Vajra Hoop" to Han Mo as well.
The "Vajra Hoop" was a special Buddhist treasure, snatched by that monkey from Long Yu, the third of the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes."
This Buddhist treasure was no simple item!
Once ensnared by it, escape was impossible unless one was a full major realm higher than the caster.
For example, if Han Mo were to use the "Vajra Hoop" now.
With his "Golden Core early stage cultivation," he could control all Golden Core cultivators, including those at the "Golden Core Great Perfection stage."
However, it would not be able to restrain "Nascent Soul cultivators" beyond that.
This Buddhist treasure was perfectly suited for use in the "Dongxuan Secret Realm."
This was because the highest cultivation level of cultivators who could enter the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" was no more than the "Golden Core stage"; there would be no "Nascent Soul cultivators."
With the "Vajra Hoop," Han Mo would be practically invincible in the "Dongxuan Secret Realm."
Excellent, excellent!
Hao Ren directly took out the "Vajra Hoop" and handed it to Han Mo.
This Buddhist treasure needed to be "refined" before it could be used.
As for the "Heaven Pushing Mirror," there was no hurry for now.
Inside the mirror was the "filial son" Chuan Jianguo. With his help, Han Mo could still manage to use the "Heaven Pushing Mirror" to some extent without refining it.
This way, it was almost foolproof!
Hao Ren nodded with satisfaction.
At this very moment, a series of "status updates" flashed in his mind.
[Ding! Your enemy "Long Liulin" is secretly plotting...]
[Ding! Your enemy "Long Wuzhua" is secretly plotting...]
[Ding! Your enemy "Long Sixu" is secretly plotting...]
