"Thank you for the reminder, Senior!"
Yun Zhenting was the first to react. He sincerely thanked Hao Ren.
It was too dangerous, too terrifying!
The "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land" had actually gone mad enough to sacrifice all the cultivators in the entire "Dongxuan Secret Realm"!
He couldn't even imagine it!
If not for the Senior's "reminder," they would still be in the dark.
They wouldn't know about the "Ten Thousand Year Grand Plan."
They wouldn't be guarding against the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land."
They wouldn't even know how they died!
Yun Zhenting couldn't help but shiver.
It was too terrifying!
Fortunately, they had the Senior's protection. The Senior was omnipotent and had foreseen the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's" conspiracy in advance.
Yun Zhenting felt a warmth in his heart.
His gaze towards Hao Ren was filled with gratitude and admiration.
At this moment, True Master Qingfeng also came back to his senses.
He bowed to Hao Ren with equal gratitude.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"
True Master Qingfeng was also filled with emotion and admiration.
The Senior had really "gone to great lengths" for them!
The Senior, fearing they would encounter danger, had specifically expended effort to divine for them.
It was so touching!
They must repay the Senior well in the future...
At this moment, a "thought" suddenly appeared in True Master Qingfeng's mind.
He looked at Hao Ren, appearing as if he had something to say but hesitated.
Hao Ren noticed True Master Qingfeng's unusual behavior.
What was going on?
As far as Hao Ren was concerned, True Master Qingfeng and the others had no secrets.
Hao Ren could see their thoughts by checking the "Friend Dynamics."
[Beep! Your friend "True Master Qingfeng" is hesitating and conflicted: The current "Dongxuan Secret Realm" is too dangerous... Should I mention it to the Senior and ask him to "preach the Dao" for us... If the Senior is willing to "preach the Dao," our strength will advance by leaps and bounds, and we won't fear the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's" conspiracy... However, the Senior has already shown his "unwillingness to preach the Dao," so if I mention it now, would it be too presumptuous and make the Senior uncomfortable...]
...
True Master Qingfeng was in a dilemma, torn between two choices.
Hao Ren's eyes flashed, and he too fell into "thought."
To "preach the Dao" or "not to preach the Dao," that was the question!
"Preaching the Dao" wasn't too difficult.
Hao Ren remembered a total of four sentences from the "Tao Te Ching."
The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
Last time he "preached the Dao," he recited "The Dao that can be spoken," which caused "eightfold phenomena." It was incredibly impressive!
If he were to "preach the Dao" this time, he could recite "The name that can be named," and the effect would be no worse than last time.
But...
It was still the same old problem!
He was reluctant to part with it!
Hao Ren remembered only four sentences from the "Tao Te Ching." Every time he used one, he had one less opportunity to show off.
The "Tao Te Ching," such a "grand display" – oops, no, such a "sacred text of Taoism" – should not be wasted. It was best to save it for super occasions to put on a "grand display."
Hao Ren was momentarily undecided.
As he was caught in a dilemma, he suddenly saw the "Heavenly Mirror" in his hand.
Hao Ren's eyes lit up, and his "perspective" instantly broadened.
Speaking of which, the "Heavenly Mirror" was a good thing!
It could divine past events, and it could also divine a person's entire life.
The lives of ordinary people were of no consequence!
But what about the lives of "super powerhouses"?
That would be incredibly impressive!
Imagine watching the growth path of a "super powerhouse" from beginning to end.
Their cultivation...
Their enlightenment...
It was equivalent to a "super master" personally passing down their legacy to you.
During this process, you could come into contact with all the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the "super master," and even the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the "super master's" friends, enemies, and everyone related to him.
A "super powerhouse" had an incredibly rich life experience.
The cultivation techniques and divine abilities he encountered were as vast as the ocean, countless in number.
It was a hundred times richer than the treasure vault of any "sacred land"!
If the life experience of a "super powerhouse" were to be shared with Yun Zhenting, True Master Qingfeng, and all the cultivators of the "Dehua Divine Cult,"
How many cultivation techniques and divine abilities could they comprehend from it?
Each person could at least comprehend two or three "secret divine abilities"!
Wouldn't their combat power be astonishing?
This idea was truly "genius"!
Hao Ren praised himself inwardly and then transmitted a message to his "filial son" Chuan Jianguo.
"Jianguo, who is the most powerful Great Emperor you know?"
"No one knows the path of the strongest better than I do, so the most powerful Great Emperor I know is... your father, you!"
"Filial son" Chuan Jianguo had wanted to say that he himself was the "most powerful Great Emperor."
As the words were on his lips, he snapped back to reality. No!
Father was right here, how could he claim to be the "strongest"?
It would be too disrespectful to his father!
Therefore, "filial son" Chuan Jianguo changed his mind at the last moment and ceded the title of "most powerful Great Emperor" to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren smiled slightly and continued to ask.
"Then, who is the second most powerful Great Emperor?"
"Filial son" Chuan Jianguo wanted to say himself, but in the end, he was too embarrassed and could only tell the truth.
"The second most powerful Great Emperor is the Desolate Heaven Great Emperor. His 'Self-Transformation as Other' divine ability is invincible for eternity and can slay Great Emperors and Supremes..."
Desolate Heaven Great Emperor?
'Self-Transformation as Other' divine ability?
Sounds incredibly awesome!
Hao Ren's eyes gleamed brightly.
Good, excellent, he would choose this "Desolate Heaven Great Emperor"!
Thus, Hao Ren transmitted a message.
"Jianguo, use the Heavenly Mirror to divine the life of the Desolate Heaven Great Emperor. Remember, divine it in great detail, starting from when he was a child, not missing a single detail, especially regarding his cultivation..."
"Filial son" Chuan Jianguo responded enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, Father, no one knows the Desolate Heaven Great Emperor better than I do. I'll divine his entire life now... Ahhh, Father, are you kidding me? To divine the life of the Desolate Heaven Great Emperor, your son cannot do it!"
"Filial son" Chuan Jianguo suddenly came back to his senses. He stated that what Hao Ren asked him to do was outrageous!
A Supreme Great Emperor!
And moreover, the most powerful "Desolate Heaven Great Emperor"!
What right did he have to divine that person's life?
Let alone "filial son" Chuan Jianguo, who was now just a wisp of remnant soul. Even in his prime, he couldn't divine a single hair of the "Desolate Heaven Great Emperor."
Such a "world-conqueringly invincible" figure, exuding the aura of a supreme expert, could self-conceal the heavenly secrets. There was no way to divine him!
Uh...
After hearing "filial son" Chuan Jianguo's explanation, Hao Ren's mouth twitched.
His "small goal" was indeed a bit too ambitious!
To aim for the "Desolate Heaven Great Emperor" right from the start was not appropriate, not appropriate at all.
Hao Ren decided to switch to a weaker powerhouse.
For Yun Zhenting and True Master Qingfeng, there was no need for a "Great Emperor level" powerhouse. Just a "Celestial Realm" expert would suffice.
